Born Sacred

Chapter 262: Are you speaking human language?

"Yes, what about it?" Noah asked in surprise.

"In one month, it ranked over 5,000." Valdrik gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that during the same period, Star Sea Civilization’s ranking wasn’t as high as yours?"

"I guessed that."

Valdrik took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain.

He suddenly felt very fortunate that he knew Noah and that his previous interactions with him were polite, without the slightest arrogance of a higher civilization looking down.

One should know that although Star Sea Civilization was only a First-Level Civilization, its reputation in the Civilization Convergence Zone was very loud. Many higher civilizations extended olive branches to Star Sea Civilization.

Among those higher civilizations, there were even many that were stronger than Great Wilderness Civilization, and their attitude towards Star Sea Civilization had always been equal and friendly.

Why?

Because the potential of Star Sea Civilization was simply too astonishing. As long as it didn’t collapse midway, it was destined to become at least a Level 4 or even Level 5 Civilization in the future. Establishing friendly relations with it now meant gaining an incredibly powerful ally for the future.

As a result, Blue Star Civilization’s growth momentum was even fiercer than that of Star Sea Civilization back then...

Although Blue Star Civilization’s starting point was far too low, preventing higher civilizations from valuing it as highly as they once valued Star Sea Civilization, it still clearly demonstrated Blue Star Civilization’s terrifying potential.

Valdrik felt extremely fortunate that he had managed to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Child of Civilization of Blue Star Civilization at such an early stage.

"Oh, right. Before coming to find you, I also went to the Sky Piercing Tower and challenged more than twenty floors along the way. Otherwise, I would’ve arrived earlier and wouldn’t have been chased by them," Noah said helplessly with a shrug.

"Holy crap..."

This time, Valdrik truly couldn’t hold himself back.

The civilization ranking was one thing. After all, he was merely the Fourth Child of Civilization of Great Wilderness Civilization. Above him were three other Children of Civilization, as well as the supreme Civilization Lord.

But the Sky Piercing Tower was different. It was the place Valdrik took the greatest pride in.

This time, Valdrik had also challenged the Sky Piercing Tower, but he had only managed to clear three floors. He never expected Noah to casually clear more than twenty floors.

And he did it along the way?

Was this guy even speaking like a human?

Valdrik was completely speechless. At this moment, he felt incredibly fortunate that he hadn’t gotten emotional and stubbornly made a bet with Noah back then.

After witnessing Noah’s terrifying performance, he no longer had the confidence to reach the 300th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower faster than Noah.

"Why aren’t you talking?" Noah asked.

Valdrik twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn’t want to talk. He just wanted some peace and quiet.

"Oh, right. If you buy a house in the residential area, you can teleport back directly and won’t be bothered by people," Valdrik suddenly said.

He admitted that he lacked the confidence to surpass Noah, but Great Wilderness Civilization was still a Level 4 Civilization. Its foundation within the Civilization Convergence Zone was something Blue Star Civilization simply couldn’t compare to.

For example, housing.

Being able to outshine Noah in at least this aspect gave Valdrik a bit of psychological comfort.

"You’re right. That’s also one of the reasons I came to the Civilization Convergence Zone this time. I’m planning to buy a house as well."

Noah nodded in complete agreement.

Valdrik: "-_-"

"You can even buy a house?"

Valdrik was completely shocked. Buying a house in the Civilization Convergence Zone required merit points, which was actually the minor issue. The truly difficult requirement was contribution.

The minimum contribution required to purchase a house was at least one million.

And earning contribution was far from easy. Unlike merit points, which could be obtained by selling items or transferred by others, contribution was completely different.

Contribution couldn’t be traded. The only way to obtain it was by rescuing other Awakened Worlds and Extraordinary Worlds and resolving Disasters.

There were many Awakeners in the Civilization Convergence Zone who had enough merit points, but their contribution was far too low, making them ineligible to purchase a house in the residential area.

"You actually have one million contribution?" Valdrik asked in disbelief.

Noah nodded.

Valdrik’s eyes widened instantly.

One million contribution!

How many Awakened Worlds and Extraordinary Worlds would he have needed to rescue to accumulate that much?

Blue Star Civilization had only entered the Civilization Convergence Zone a month ago. Even if they had rescued worlds nonstop, it still shouldn’t have been possible so quickly.

The most unbelievable part was that receiving that many distress signals was already extremely difficult.

Valdrik couldn’t figure out how Noah had managed to do it.

"Could it be that you went and destroyed a Calamity World?" Valdrik suddenly blurted out.

Noah merely smiled without saying a word.

Little did Valdrik know that his casual guess was actually the truth.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t imagine it, but applying something as outrageous as destroying a Calamity World to Blue Star Civilization simply felt too unbelievable.

To destroy a Calamity World, one first needed the ability to open a passage to it. Secondly, they had to face the endless hordes of powerful monsters within the Calamity World itself. The difficulty of such a task was unimaginable.

Blue Star Civilization had only recently advanced to a First-Level Civilization. If it had been Star Sea Civilization or Sky Dragon Civilization, it would have been much easier to make that connection.

More importantly, Valdrik was well aware that he himself was only a newly promoted Child of Civilization with insufficient experience. Perhaps there were shortcuts or methods he simply didn’t know about yet.

If it had been the Civilization Lord of Great Wilderness Civilization standing here instead, they probably would have guessed the truth immediately.

"Let’s not talk about buying a house for now. How are the things I asked you to collect?" Noah changed the subject. This was also his main reason for coming here.

"I managed to collect a few relatively rare skills, but their quality isn’t very high. You can take a look first."
