Born Sacred

Chapter 244: Aura Concealment

Noah didn’t have much time left to remain in the Civilization Convergence Zone, so after agreeing on a date for their next meeting, he bid farewell to Valdrik and left.

System Store.

After his contribution points exceeded ten thousand, several new items became available to Noah.

After browsing for a while, he quickly found an item that caught his interest.

[ Aura Concealment ]

This item wasn’t meant for stealth or assassination; its primary purpose was to hide one’s identity.

In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there were many ways to identify a person, and aura was one of the most important methods. Appearance, on the other hand, wasn’t considered reliable, as there were simply too many techniques and abilities capable of altering one’s appearance.

After purchasing a few additional cross-world teleportation devices, Noah left the Civilization Convergence Zone and returned to Blue Star.

At that moment, almost everyone on Blue Star was celebrating the newly obtained ranking rewards and universal rewards. It was difficult to believe that the Blue Star Civilization was currently facing a Ghost-Level Calamity.

Of course, there were also many people worried about the steadily decreasing Disaster countdown.

Noah raised his head and looked toward the sky.

[Demonized Monsters (Human-Level): 252 Days Remaining]

"More than eight months... it’s still too long."

Noah fell into deep thought.

He was confident that within a few months, he could reach the 300th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower. That achievement would grant another universal reward, which he estimated would reduce the Disaster countdown by at least another month.

As for the even higher 400th floor, however, he wasn’t nearly as confident.

Blue Star Civilization’s ranking on the Civilization Stele could still improve significantly, and that was also expected to shorten the countdown by more than a month.

Adding everything together, that amounted to roughly three months.

"Five months left? That’s still a little too long. It seems I also need to work on upgrading my Monster Slaying titles."

Originally, Noah’s plan had been to accept missions in the Civilization Convergence Zone, specifically targeting Human-Level Calamities caused by Demonized Monsters.

However, after Dance in the Air evolved into Two Worlds Travel, he came up with a completely different idea.

What could be more effective than directly invading the Demonized Monsters’ lair and slaughtering them all?

Noah had long wanted to visit the Disaster World itself, but previously, he simply lacked the ability to do so. Now that he finally could, the idea immediately became irresistible.

A Remnant World capable of triggering a Human-Level Calamity was fundamentally different from the worlds behind Small or even ordinary Medium Calamities.

To First-Level and Second-Level Civilizations, such a place was no different from a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair. Even a Fifth-Order expert entering it would almost certainly die.

But what did Noah have to fear?

By entering the Remnant World and killing large numbers of Demonized Monsters, he could not only upgrade his Enemy of Demonized Monsters title but also weaken the Remnant World itself.

At the same time, he would gain firsthand knowledge of the world targeting Blue Star, allowing him to truly know both himself and his enemy.

Why wouldn’t he do it?

Still, Noah didn’t act recklessly.

Instead, he first went to find Lily.

"You want me to read the memory of that Level 4 Magic Eagle? No problem," Lily agreed without hesitation.

She had actually wanted to examine the memories of that Level 4 Magic Eagle for a long time, but due to various circumstances, the matter had been delayed until now. Since Noah had brought it up himself, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

Now that she was already a Fifth-Order expert, reading the memories of a Level 4 Magic Eagle was an incredibly simple task for her.

After only half a day, she completed the memory extraction, organized the information, and sent it to Noah.

Before venturing into that Remnant World, Noah also wanted to gather as much information as possible.

A Level 4 Demonized Monster was already considered middle-tier within the Remnant World, and the information it possessed was far beyond anything a Third-Order Demonized Monster could know.

Noah slowly began reviewing the information.

The perspective of a Level 4 existence was naturally very different from that of a Third-Order creature.

Within the Magic Eagle’s memories, it had commanded no fewer than thirty world invasions. Most of them had been Ghost-Level Calamities.

In those invasions, the Magic Eagle usually acted as a commander operating behind the scenes. If the invasion progress became unfavorable and the spatial passage permitted it, the Magic Eagle would personally descend into the battlefield as well.

A very small number of the invasions it participated in were Human-Level Calamities, during which the Magic Eagle fought as one of the generals.

Naturally, all thirty-plus Awakened Worlds involved in those invasions had ultimately been destroyed.

Through the Magic Eagle’s memories, Noah learned that the Remnant World was constantly launching invasions against countless Awakened Worlds and Extraordinary Worlds, destroying them one after another.

Some worlds were annihilated quickly, but many others continued resisting stubbornly, remaining locked in prolonged stalemates with the Remnant World and tying down a significant portion of its forces.

Noah’s heart stirred slightly.

If that were the case, then once he entered the Remnant World, he would likely encounter Awakened Worlds and Extraordinary Worlds that were also resisting it.

"Perfect. Let’s see who our neighbors are," Noah said with a faint smile.

Being targeted by the same Remnant World undoubtedly meant that their world coordinates were relatively close to one another.

...

The signal receiver was once again activated by Noah, ready to receive distress signals from First-Level Civilizations across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Unfortunately, distress signals were far too unpredictable and followed no discernible pattern. Until the moment Noah was prepared to depart, he still hadn’t received a new one.

"Two Worlds Travel."

The moment the thought appeared in Noah’s mind, a vast amount of Lightness energy began circulating throughout his body.

His figure quickly rose into the sky, and before long, he had already left Blue Star behind and entered outer space.

Gradually, the Lightness energy within him transformed into a pure and transparent energy.

At that instant, Noah suddenly sensed a change in the surrounding void.
