The predecessor of the Eternal Land held by Lu Li, the world where the Libra Holy Sword originally belonged, was one of them.

Of course, this secret regarding the destruction of various worlds was only qualified to be known by the Supreme and powerhouses at the Undying Realm level. Even Immortals didn't know that among the group of extraterrestrial beasts, there were existences outside the specifications like Star Eaters.

However, there are exceptions to everything. After all, not all Magic Card Masters would obediently stay within the Magic Card civilization.

Magic Card Masters who reached a certain level and were confident in their own strength would run to the outside of the domain.

And once outside the domain, all Magic Card Masters were on the same starting line. How long they could survive outside the domain depended on the extent of the Magic Card Master's own luck.

If the luck was explosive, and they encountered an extraterrestrial beast at the level of a Star Eater not long after going out, let alone what kind of Emperor or Sovereign, even an Immortal, basically what awaited them was just a dead end!

Facing an existence like a Star Eater, going up as an Immortal wasn't much different from sending oneself to death.

Unless the strength reached the Undying Realm, relying on the unique ability of the Undying Realm, even if the physical body was destroyed, they could recover relying on the remaining trace of mental power, achieving true immortality to a certain extent, only then would they have the qualifications to face existences at the level of Star Eaters.

But, that was just facing, not fighting the Star Eater, but to have a chance to escape in front of the Star Eater.

The battle on the Titan home planet had already explained many things. Even the top-tier 12-star mythical quality Titan Giants were slaughtered by the Star Eaters. Undying Realm Magic Card Masters facing them wouldn't actually have much difference.

The only better point was that relying on immortality, when encountering a Star Eater, they had a chance to run away.

According to Lu Li's thoughts, in the current Magic Card civilization, probably only existences at the level of the Supreme could wrestle with Star Eaters.

Lu Li didn't dare to guarantee the Supremes of the Church and the Demon Domain, but for this Supreme of the Ancient Kingdom, Lu Li felt that the other party had the ability to do so.

After all, as an existence transcending Magic Card Spirits, Tai Yin You Ying's strength very likely also surpassed the 12-star level, reaching the level comparable to Star Eaters.

And behind Tai Yin You Ying, there was also an Ancient Kingdom's founding Supreme, and this one was even more heavyweight!

When Star Eaters and this one meet, who wins and who loses, the final result is really hard to say.

As for others, forget it. Sending more is just sending them to death.

Therefore, when Magic Card Masters encounter Star Eaters outside the domain, there's nothing to say; it's basically a dead end, so naturally, no information about Star Eaters would be passed back.

Even Domain Lords like Gongshu Zhengqing, who ruled a domain at the Undying Realm, only learned of the terrifying existence of Star Eaters from the Supreme's mouth.

495. Comparable to the Supreme, the first person in countless years

"That's right," regarding Gongshu Zhengqing's question, Lu Li nodded in acknowledgment. After all, there was nothing worth hiding.

Especially since before him, there was the Supreme who had known the secrets of the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower for an unknown amount of time.

Moreover, Lu Li also felt that it wasn't just the Ancient Kingdom; the Church and the Demon Domain outside the Ancient Kingdom must also definitely know about the existence of extraterrestrial beasts like Star Eaters.

Even if the Church and the Demon Domain didn't have the Titan Sanctuary and the Heaven-Reaching Tower, as empires that could stand in a tripartite balance with the Ancient Kingdom, these two major empires definitely had quite a few secrets.

Especially the Demon Domain. After all, compared to the relative openness of the Ancient Kingdom and the Church, the Demon Domain was truly a completely closed management. People who were not from the Demon Domain basically wouldn't even think about entering the Demon Domain for a lifetime.

But, even if they knew about the existence of Star Eaters, the number probably wouldn't be too many. After all, referring to the Ancient Kingdom, it was clear that those who knew this secret probably didn't even reach ten people.

Hearing Lu Li's reply and seeing that the other party still had a normal expression and didn't seem to have received too much impact, Gongshu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded silently: "Since you already know and understand this point, then I won't say much more."

"The main reason for leaving you alone this time is actually to ensure that you won't be subjected to too much impact under the impact of extraterrestrial beasts at the level of Star Eaters."

Back then, even for him, upon learning of the existence of extraterrestrial beasts at the level of Star Eaters, his heart couldn't help but beat violently for a few rounds before barely recovering.

It is conceivable that if Magic Card Masters whose strength, experience, and character were worse than his own learned of this, would they be scared to death directly?

But, this point was not absolute. After all, the Supreme was a best example. Even when the other party conquered the Heaven-Reaching Tower back then, they were only at the Emperor Realm.

"But now it seems that being able to conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, your character won't be too bad," speaking to the end, Gongshu Zhengqing couldn't help but shake his head.

Even if Lu Li might have adjusted when he was in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, in Gongshu Zhengqing's view, the time was still too short. Even if Lu Li stayed in the Heaven-Reaching Tower for twice as long, Gongshu Zhengqing wouldn't feel strange, and even thought this was normal.

This was also why, when everyone appeared so anxious back then, he was the most calm one. After all, he knew the inside story and how shocking it was.

Presumably, when the Supreme knew this inside story back then, the performance was probably about the same.

Suddenly, Gongshu Zhengqing was stunned in his heart. He didn't expect that he would subconsciously compare Lu Li with the Supreme. If this thought were known by others, it would be very surprising.

After all, after coming back to his senses, Gongshu Zhengqing himself also appeared a bit surprised.

It's just that after so many years, the only Magic Card Masters who finally successfully conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower were the Supreme back then and Lu Li now. It was indeed very easy to make people compare the two.

"Perhaps, this is actually a good thing." However, soon, Gongshu Zhengqing accepted this thought of his.

Knowing the existence of extraterrestrial beasts outside the specifications and levels like Star Eaters, and knowing that the truth of the destruction of the vast majority of civilizations and worlds came from the invasion of extraterrestrial beasts, Gongshu Zhengqing naturally hoped that the Ancient Kingdom, and even the entire Magic Card civilization, would be as strong as possible, especially the top-level combat power, and the more Magic Card Masters who could contend with Star Eaters, the better.

It's a pity that if the Supreme Realm were so easy to break through, then the vast Magic Card civilization wouldn't only have three Supreme Realm powerhouses in the current era. This ratio of numbers, among hundreds of billions of people, was simply pitifully small, and could even be ignored.

And this, while confirming the gold content of the Supreme, also proved that the difficulty was equally difficult to cross.

And Lu Li, as the only one of the two Magic Card Masters in the Ancient Kingdom to conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, could be said that in terms of Magic Card talent, the other party was perhaps the Magic Card Master closest to the Supreme in the current era!

Even the two Hall Masters of the Central Court and the Domain Lords of their four major domains were probably worse than Lu Li in terms of talent on the Magic Card path.

At the very least, these old guys didn't successfully conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower during the same period. They didn't do what the Supreme and Lu Li did.

Even the Night Queen Yue Nishang, who was originally the most optimistic, fell on the 99th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower back then and perished together with the tester on the 99th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. This was also the result closest to the Supreme in so many years.

However, this result was broken today by Lu Li in front of him.

Of course, whether Lu Li could take that critical step toward the Supreme, Gongshu Zhengqing didn't know, and he had no way to guess.

After all, although there was only a difference of one level between the Undying Realm and the Supreme Realm, the gap between them was a world of difference.

Although Lu Li's performance was remarkable and even surpassed many levels of his peers, the Supreme was also not ordinary.

Even, if Lu Li were allowed to stand in the Supreme's position, the other party might not be able to complete the feats the Supreme had achieved over the years.

As an Undying Realm Domain Lord second only to the Supreme Realm, Gongshu Zhengqing and others were very clear about the Supreme's planning.

Thinking of the Supreme's extremely bold plan, even with Gongshu Zhengqing's character, he couldn't help but feel a trance.

Such a plan could indeed only be thought of by such a peerless and talented genius, and even succeeded!

It could be said that in Gongshu Zhengqing's mind, the gold content of the three Supremes in the current era of the Magic Card civilization was absolutely the highest for the Ancient Kingdom's Supreme!

Compared to the Supremes of the Church and the Demon Domain, they were still worse in any case.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so far ahead now, let's focus on handling the current things first."

Putting away all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Gongshu Zhengqing looked at Lu Li again, full of solemnity: "Lu Li, being able to successfully conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower is enough to show that your talent is not ordinary, especially since you were not impacted by the truth of the world's destruction and still remained calm."

Just this point alone widened the gap between Lu Li and ordinary Magic Card Masters again.

"But you must remember, I hope you don't expose the secrets hidden on the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower at will, even to people you trust, because this will only lead to panic."

Not only outsiders, but even lovers like Su Xueyi, Gongshu Zhengqing didn't want Lu Li to tell the other party this secret.

After all, the more people who knew this secret, the greater the probability of it being spread, and the wider the panic and the scope of the impact would be.

This was not what Gongshu Zhengqing wanted to see.

496. Sun Power · Soul leaving the body!

"Rest assured, Domain Lord Gongshu, regarding this point, I am still very clear," for Gongshu Zhengqing's exhortation, Lu Li naturally understood the other party's meaning, nodded clearly, indicating that he was also clear and had the same thoughts as the other party.

The scale of panic caused by the existence outside the specifications like Star Eaters, once known by the outside world, was absolutely unimaginable.

The Magic Card civilization was very prosperous and also very powerful, which was beyond doubt.

But this didn't mean that the Magic Card civilization could always maintain this prosperity and power. There was still the danger of extinction. After all, the numerous dimensional planes attached to the Magic Card civilization were the best explanation.

The predecessors of these dimensional planes were once complete worlds.

Star Eaters were the threat that could very likely cause the destruction of the Magic Card civilization.

But, the vast majority of people in the Magic Card civilization didn't know this. If they were told now that their world had the crisis of destruction at any time and everyone was doomed, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

Therefore, even though they had known the truth for such a long time, the four Domain Lords and the two Central Court Hall Masters had tacitly blocked the news in this regard. Naturally, they wouldn't spread this news and cause panic.

Otherwise, it would really be looking for trouble for themselves.

As for the Supreme, this one often saw the head but not the tail. Expecting to know this secret from the other party's mouth was not as good as expecting the few Undying Realm Domain Lords.

Therefore, at the moment, Lu Li became the most likely dissemination mouth for this secret, so Gongshu Zhengqing naturally had to exhort him.

"Mm, it's good that you understand," hearing Lu Li's guarantee, Gongshu Zhengqing didn't dwell too much on this matter, and instead took out a special card from the void: "There is one last thing."

The main business is here!

Noticing Gongshu Zhengqing's action, Lu Li concentrated his spirit slightly. He naturally didn't believe that Gongshu Zhengqing let others leave and only left him alone, just to exhort him not to talk about the truth of the Star Eaters and the world's destruction at will.

And the actions of this North Domain Lord also confirmed this point.

"This was handed to me by His Majesty the Supreme. Back then, she mentioned that if there were other Magic Card Masters who successfully conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower after her, then let me hand this card to this Magic Card Master."

"It's just that I didn't expect that this wait would pass for such a long time." This was the main reason why Gongshu Zhengqing had been lingering in the Titan Temple for such a long time, and even dismissed the two Immortals, Li Wei and Tan Huan. It was to complete the task entrusted by the Supreme.

Just when saying the last sentence, Gongshu Zhengqing was also a bit helpless.

Although when he took over this task from the Supreme back then, Gongshu Zhengqing already had psychological preparation, he really couldn't complete the task entrusted by the Supreme in a short time.

After all, as a former participant, Gongshu Zhengqing was very familiar with the difficulty of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, especially the difficulty after the 95th floor, which was more terrifying floor by floor.

Even they, these Undyings, didn't successfully conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower back then. Wanting to wait for a Magic Card Master who, like the Supreme, conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, required quite a bit of patience to be able to do it.

Just with the passage of time, thousands of years passed in a flash. Let alone waiting for the next Magic Card Master who conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, even the Magic Card Masters who successfully broke through the 90th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower were only a few, and could be counted on ten fingers.

Facing such a situation, Gongshu Zhengqing even once doubted whether he could wait for the second Magic Card Master who conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower during his tenure as the North Domain Lord, and whether he could complete the task entrusted by the Supreme.
