Chapter 253: I Didn’t Expect It.
Although he had not gathered much useful information during this visit to the Remnant World, merely witnessing it with his own eyes was already a tremendous gain.
The Disaster Will only detected him once he exceeded one hundred times the speed of sound and a terrifying velocity of thirty-four kilometers per second, surpassing the third cosmic velocity. At that speed, he could circle Blue Star in just twenty minutes.
During his time in the Remnant World, Noah had flown at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers, yet he had not noticed the slightest sign of the Black Celestial Pillar or the continent becoming any closer.
This alone demonstrated just how unimaginably vast the Remnant World truly was. Its size likely had to be measured in light-years.
No matter how confident Noah was in his own strength, he did not believe he was currently capable of destroying such a massive world.
Fortunately, Noah’s purpose in entering the Remnant World was not to destroy it, but to understand both himself and his enemy. At the same time, he intended to kill large numbers of Demonized Monsters to strengthen his title and allow the Sun Shooting Bow to devour their souls and grow even stronger.
"There’s no need to rush back. I’ll deal with it tomorrow."
To avoid the possibility of the Disaster Will lying in wait for him, Noah decided to delay his next move for a day.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to Blue Star Civilization for surviving the Ghost-Level Calamity. Based on the performance of the Awakeners during the Ghost-Level Calamity, different rewards will now be distributed.]
A system notification suddenly echoed in the ears of everyone on Blue Star.
The people of Blue Star remained calm. After all, this Ghost Level Disaster had only caused casualties during the initial phase. After that, it had long since stopped posing a serious threat. It was only natural that the calamity would eventually come to an end.
Since this was not the first Ghost-Level Calamity, Blue Star did not receive any special civilization-wide rewards. Instead, individuals were rewarded with attribute points and items according to their personal contributions.
[You remained stationed on Blue Star and played a crucial role in Blue Star Civilization surviving the Ghost-Level Calamity. You have received the following rewards: All attributes +100000, one Perfect-grade item (random), lottery chances +3.]
Hearing the system prompt, three question marks practically appeared over Noah’s head.
What is going on?
I received rewards too?
Heaven and earth were his witnesses and Noah had not made a single move during this Aberrant Disaster. He had not even killed one Aberrant creature.
Looking at the contents of the notification again:
"Remained stationed on Blue Star... played a crucial role in Blue Star Civilization surviving the Ghost-Level Calamity..."
In reality, the outcome would likely have been the same whether Noah had stayed on Blue Star or not. Not to mention, he had even traveled to the Civilization Convergence Zone and other worlds during that period.
Never expected this. Truly never expected it.
He had earned rewards while doing absolutely nothing.
Jokes aside, after calming down, Noah quickly understood the reason behind it. As a Child of Civilization of Blue Star Civilization, the system most likely counted his existence itself as a major contribution.
Considering everything he had done for Blue Star Civilization in the past, receiving such rewards was not excessive at all.
Noah looked at the rewards.
The hundred thousand full attribute point hadn’t changed, it seemed to be the upper limit for Ghost Level Calamities and could no longer increase further.
The other two rewards were significantly worse than those from the first Ghost Level Calamity. The perfect grade item was random instead of selectable, and the number of draws was also lower.
Moreover, since he hadn’t personally killed a large number of Monsters, he didn’t obtain any related enemy slaying titles.
However, Noah had no complaints. After all, this was a free gain.
He directly used both the draw and the random option, obtaining two perfect grade items and two rare grade items. Noah glanced at them casually before tossing them into his storage.
For him now, most perfect grade items were no longer useful.
The next fay, Noah activated Two World Travel again.
After patiently waiting for a while, The Remnant World finally appeared within his senses.
Before traveling, Noah decisively used an [Aura Concealment] to hide his true aura and then chose to travel.
The next moment, Noah appeared in the sky.
He keenly sensed a very faint trace of malice around him, much weaker than yesterday.
It seemed that the Disaster Will was also keeping a wary eye on him
It was just that the Remnant World was so vast that it could spare a small amount of energy to focus on this area. Noah, who had changed his aura, obviously didn’t attract its attention.
With a movement, Noah quickly left that area and then gradually accelerated. Only when he appeared a hundred times the speed of sound did he stop accelerating, maintaining that speed as he flew toward the continent.
Those Demonized Monsters whose memories Lily had read, including the Fourth Order Magic Eagle, didn’t possess much information about the Black Celestial Pillar or the continent.
Obviously, the World Shard they were in was extremely far from the continent.
During his flight, Noah also discovered several spatial passages.
The number of Disasters the Remnant World could unleash simultaneously far exceeded that of Small Calamities. It was just that its territory was boundless, so the spatial passages he encountered were relatively few.
Noah wasn’t in a hurry to act.
He wasn’t a saint. Flying on his own was fine, but once he took action, he would inevitably be detected by the Disaster Will. From then on, it might keep watching him, which would surely have a significant impact on his future actions.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Noah’s gaze narrowed slightly.
He saw a crack suddenly appear in the distant sky. Immediately afterward, dozens of small black dots fell out of the crack and lightly landed on the surging demonic sea.
"After being devoured by the Abyss, the remaining World Shards fell into the Remnant World?"
The crack quickly disappeared. Through that brief glimpse, Noah couldn’t see what lay on the other side.
Afterward, Noah witnessed the same falling scene several more times.
Each occurrence represented a world being devoured by the Abyss.
What he saw was only a tiny part of the Remnant World, and this Remnant World itself was just one among countless others.
"The Abyss."
