Chapter 442 One moment of carelessness, and Antares tricked me.
Chapter 442 One slip-up and Antares tricked him.
Jiang Chen knew that Antares was unlikely to answer many of his questions.
He had many questions in his mind, but he could only choose to ask some of the key ones.
Antares stared at Jiang Chen again, "You're only level 50, you're still a long way from becoming a god."
"Think carefully. If I answer this question, I won't answer any other questions you have."
Jiang Chen sensed a hint of disdain in Antares's eyes.
Although he admitted that he was being a bit overly ambitious, this question wasn't about satisfying his curiosity. He insisted, "Just this one question, please answer me."
Antares said calmly, "Since you insist, then I will tell you."
"Becoming a god isn't actually that difficult. First, you need to reach level 98."
"Levels 98 and 99 are both known as half-step godhood. Once you reach level 99, there are three ways to become a god."
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised; there were actually three ways.
It seems that the path to becoming a god is not so narrow.
Antares observed Jiang Chen's expression and revealed a playful smile, "The first method is the simplest. First, reach level 99 and comprehend everything you need to to the limit. With some top-tier materials and an array, you can become a transcendent being."
"The second way is that after reaching level 99 and completing the comprehension, you can have the opportunity to become a god with the help of some mythical items. You should understand why everyone is scrambling for the Creation Scepter now."
"The third, and most difficult, method is to reach level 98 or 99 and master all the necessary skills to the limit. Then, if one of your attributes exceeds ten million, you can become a god."
Jiang Chen pressed further, "Are there any differences between the three types of transcendent beings?"
Antares chuckled. "Your questions are over. I don't need to answer you anymore."
Jiang Chen shook his head, "You've lived for so long, you should be very magnanimous and wouldn't hold a grudge."
Flattery?
In order to find out the answer, Jiang Chen became shameless.
Antares seemed somewhat pleased. "Since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly tell you. Of the three types of transcendent beings, those who break through using their own attributes are the strongest, those who fuse using treasures are next, and those who break through using formations are the weakest."
Jiang Chen completely understands.
Relying entirely on its own attributes to break through is undoubtedly the strongest.
But it is also the most difficult.
It has tens of millions of attributes, and that's not even counting the basic attributes of equipment.
What kind of concept is this?
It's not that the total number of attributes exceeds ten million, but that one of the attributes exceeds ten million.
My own attributes are already extremely strong, but my mental attribute is only around 20.
It's still 50 times away from 10 million, a very long way off.
It's really very difficult.
The second type is the combination of one's own power and the power of a mythical treasure.
The two forces merged into one, creating a godlike being.
It is weaker than relying entirely on itself.
After all, some of them relied on external aids. As for the weaker ones, they relied entirely on formations to break through.
Not to mention that.
Relying entirely on external forces, what else could it be but the weakest?
Antares said, "Now you understand, right? I've already paid the payment; now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Don't worry, I haven't finished explaining my conditions yet."
Antares's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
Jiang Chen's skin thickened again. "You don't think that I'd be paid for just a few questions if I went to such a dangerous place to retrieve something for you, do you?"
Jiang Chen was not afraid when he said this.
He had already thought about it when he asked the question.
Antares narrowed his eyes. "Little one, don't be too greedy. I've seen too many greedy people die a violent death."
There was already a threatening undertone in his words. Jiang Chen didn't care. "You said it yourself, it's an equal exchange, a fair deal. Even if you don't agree, you have to wait until I finish stating my terms."
"And if you really want to kill me, it's just a matter of breathing."
At this moment, Jiang Chen not only became thick-skinned, but also had a sharp tongue.
Anyone who knows Jiang Chen would be very surprised if they were here.
This person, who is usually so quiet that he can barely make a sound, is surprisingly eloquent.
Jiang Chen simply didn't want to talk, not that he couldn't.
Antares was indeed not afraid of Jiang Chen's actions. "Speak, I'm listening."
Jiang Chen said, "Consider these questions as a deposit. After I bring the items back from the Thunder Burial Canyon, I hope to obtain some materials."
"A mythical-grade material with properties similar to solidified Vulcan's essence blood."
“I know there is plenty of this material underground in this area, so it won’t be difficult for you to obtain it.”
Jiang Chen's demands were very sensible.
He deduced that there were a considerable amount of materials like solidified Vulcan essence blood underground in the core area.
It would be difficult for him to obtain, but for Antares, it was a piece of cake.
Furthermore, these things are buried here and are completely unclaimed, so Antares only needs to take them without any loss.
Therefore, Jiang Chen felt that Antares could accept it.
"That's it?"
Antares's reaction was exactly as expected.
These things were completely useless to Antares, and he never even considered using them as trade goods. What Antares didn't want, however, were quite valuable treasures to Jiang Chen.
“Yes, this is it,” Jiang Chen said confidently.
Antares laughed heartily, "Alright, as long as you can get what I need, I can not only give you these materials, but also another good thing."
"In that case, our deal is done. Once you've gone to the lower dimension, go to the Thunder Burial Canyon to retrieve the items for me."
Jiang Chen said, "In that case, it's settled then. Once I get to the lower space, I'll go to the Thunder Burial Canyon."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The deal is done. As for when to go, there's no rush.
Antares continued, "Then I will send you away now."
A sudden gust of wind arose. Jiang Chen suddenly saw a hint of amusement in Antares's giant eye.
A chill ran down my spine.
"Something's wrong."
Antares's gaze made him realize something was wrong, but it was too late.
The swirling wind carried glittering specks of light, enveloping Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin.
The two vanished instantly, carried away by a whirlwind.
"Hmph, you dare to make demands of me? Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?"
"You're still too green to fight me, kid."
Antares snorted, lay down again, and slowly closed his eyes.
His eyes held a teasing glint, as if he had done something very amusing.
In the dimly lit space, Jiang Chen gazed at the sky. There was light in the sky, but it was very faint.
Points of light kept falling from the sky, bringing light to the world.
Many strange plants grow on the earth, resembling neither flowers nor grass.
The leaves were so large that they could envelop Jiang Chen.
The leaves have clear veins that are glowing and illuminating the surroundings.
The light from the plants was brighter than the light spots in the sky.
Behind the leaves was a short tree.
The branches stretched out like vines, covered with similarly large leaves.
Jiang Chen was standing on one of the leaves, while Qiao Zhixin lay beside him.
The leaves were very resilient and bore the weight of him and Qiao Zhixin.
"This isn't the upper dimension." "Where is this?"
Having just experienced a full minute of teleportation, Jiang Chen felt uneasy thinking about Antares's gaze before the teleportation.
At that moment, Antares's voice rang in my ears, "You brat, you're the first person in thousands of years to dare to fool me."
"This is the lower level of the ancient battlefield. Now that you've arrived, fulfill your promise and head to the Thunder Burial Canyon."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had said the wrong thing.
I should say I was misled by Antares.
Antares said that once he went to the lower dimension, he would go to the Thunder Burial Canyon.
I agreed without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Antares seized upon this point and directly sent him to the lower dimension. The two sides did not agree on a time, only a place.
Now that I have reached the lower dimension, I need to fulfill my promise.
Suddenly, a small scale appeared in front of Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen recognized it at a glance as a scale belonging to Antares.
"The scales can take you out of the lower space, but they can only take one person with them."
Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of frustration.
I've clearly been tricked. Antares is such a cunning guy.
