Cave Refuge

As the monster's corpse disappeared, the effect it emitted that made people overlook it gradually faded away. By the time others remembered the monster's corpse, Dong Tianyu had already returned to his Companion Spiritual Treasure to rest.

At this time, the lingering drizzle outside was actually orchestrated by the Bat Monster, intended to cooperate with the monster to disturb the creatures of Blue Star so they could raid without interruption.

Unexpectedly, they couldn't kill but only seal the monster they sent to Blue Star, but it didn't even last one day before Dong Tianyu sent it to the Cave and turned it into nutrients.

Although that monster was quickly annihilated by Dong Tianyu, the lingering drizzle they created made the humans in Magic City stay silently at home or within their Companion Spiritual Treasure due to it being a natural disaster, thus indirectly delaying the activities of humans nearby Magic City.

Although any item on Blue Star contains Plane Origin and most items contain roughly the same amount of world source, there are still some special items that contain a large amount of world source.

Such items that contain a massive amount of world source are collectively known in Blue Star as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Heavenly Materials refer to various Spirit Plants, while Earth Treasures broadly refer to those more valuable treasures. Precious examples include very rare Strange Creatures, and more common ones could be the Mysterious Cores produced by the Mysterious Ship.

Though not originally belonging to Blue Star, anything that enters Blue Star is generally assimilated by the Plane Will, and over time, becomes part of Blue Star, contributing to its source.

The best way to plunder the source is to seize those items that contain a large amount of source and bring them back to one's own world. The Plane Origin contained in those items would then be assimilated into the source of the original Plane.

However, even if the Plane Origin contained in the item is assimilated, it does not significantly affect the original function of the item—it can still be used normally.

As long as that item is not taken out of this world again, even if the item is consumed in various ways, the originally increased source will not disappear.

To put it more simply, it's like a person standing on a scale, then picking up an apple from outside. Naturally, the scale shows the weight of the apple, but when the person eats the apple, the original weight on the scale does not disappear—it just changes form.

More bluntly, even if the person on the scale turns the eaten apple into excrement without removing it from the scale, the original weight on the scale would not change.

The source plundered from other dimensions is like the apple in the example, and the dimension itself is like the scale. As long as the apple is placed on the scale, whether the person holds it for enjoyment, eats it directly, or even turns it into excrement, as long as it does not leave, the Plane Source will not decrease.

The Bat Monsters came here specifically to plunder the Plane Origin. Although posing as rocks or water could also be counted as plundering the world source, the quantity of such plunder is trivial.

if that was all, it would not compensate for the Plane Origin consumed in opening the Plane Transmission Channel.

Therefore, to obtain a substantial amount more of Plane Origin, one must seize those items containing a lot of Plane Origin or kidnap the Child of Destiny from this Plane.

If one aims to find these items arbitrarily, like looking for a needle in the ocean, obtaining those containing a massive amount of Plane Origin would be quite difficult.

But for the sake of plundering more Plane Origin, the Bat Monsters naturally made preparations in advance, they sacrificed their own lives to directly obtain the coordinates of these valuable items from the Plane Will of their native dimension.

In theory, since they came here specifically to plunder the Plane Origin of this Plane, the Plane Will of this Plane should not provide information to the enemy.

But as mentioned earlier, most Plane Wills lack any Spiritual Wisdom. The adversaries, being Otherworldly creatures, wouldn't be assimilated like items within a dimension; the Plane Origin contained in them remains attributed to their originating dimension.

Under normal circumstances, to fully assimilate the Plane Origin within a living creature, it typically takes more than ten days. If invaders return to their dimension within ten days, the Plane Origin within them remains attributed to their original dimension.

However, there is one exception—if, after entering another dimension, they die in that Different Dimension, the Plane Origin within their bodies will be directly assimilated by the Different Dimension.

Their method of sacrifice is essentially paying for corresponding information. Although the Plane Origin directly reveals the location of the items, whether these can be successfully retrieved still depends on individual capabilities.

It is crucial to understand that even if they know the precise locations of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, if they ultimately fail to acquire them due to inadequate capabilities, the collected Plane Origin is non-refundable.

And this is all under the condition that the Plane Will is in a dormant state, allowing fair trade.
