Chapter 16 Information in the Crystal Plate
It's another moonlit night.
Zhao Chen lay on a giant rock atop the mountain, spread his wings, and looked up at the bright moon. The cool moonlight shone on him, making his feathers gleam with a faint silver light.
He adjusted his breathing, inhaling and visualizing the bright moon as he looked up, exhaling and visualizing the sun sinking down. His spirit followed that invisible thread, extending and gently pulled—
A ray of moonlight fell and seeped into my mind.
The cool sensation spread and invigorated him.
For the past month, he has been absorbing moonlight every night. At first, he could only absorb a wisp, but now he can absorb continuously for half an hour before feeling tired. His mental strength is at least five times stronger than when he first returned, and his perception range has expanded from 12,000 zhang to 18,000 zhang.
Within a range of 18,000 zhang, no movement or disturbance could escape his detection.
He could even vaguely sense the activity of those dark purple worms deep in the canyon—they seemed more active and had a stronger presence than before.
Zhao Chen withdrew his senses and was about to continue absorbing the moonlight when he suddenly remembered something.
The things found from the spaceship have been kept in my stomach and I've never looked at them closely.
When they encountered that strange worm that was twenty feet long, they were so engrossed in devouring it that they returned to the mountains and were drawn to the moonlight, completely forgetting about the incident.
"I happen to have some free time now."
It opened its mouth and spat out the several crystal plates stored in its abdomen one by one, arranging them on the rock.
The largest piece, about the size of a palm, was completely transparent with intricate internal patterns. He tried to probe it with his mind—
Instantly, a massive flow of information flooded into my consciousness!
But this time, it's completely different from the last time.
Those originally distorted and pulsating symbols were automatically "translated" into meanings he could understand in his mind—just like reading subtitles in his previous life, the symbols themselves were still symbols, but his consciousness directly understood their meanings.
Zhao Chen was stunned.
He tried it several times to confirm that it wasn't his imagination.
This crystal plate actually has a universal language conversion function directly embedded in it. As long as you probe it with your mind, the information will be presented in a way that you can understand.
"You should have said so earlier," he muttered, and began to examine the document carefully.
-
The first thing you see is a basic language tutorial.
It's not the kind of textbook that you have to learn from scratch, but rather a kind of "implanted" language pack—after reading it once, the meaning of those symbols is directly imprinted in your mind.
Zhao Chen spent about half an hour going through this part of the content.
When he looked at the symbols again, he could recognize most of them.
Next, a vast star map unfolded in his mind, with countless points of light marking numerous planets. Some areas on the star map were marked with different colors, accompanied by text.
【Angel Starfield】—Ruled by the Angel Civilization, its sphere of influence covers thousands of star systems and is currently under the rule of King Hua Ye.
【Blazing Sun Starfield】—centered around the Blazing Sun Star, specializing in the manipulation of stellar energy, and maintaining a distance from the Angel Civilization.
【Shenhe Starfield】—The birthplace of the Shenhe civilization, with advanced technology and interactions with various forces.
Some areas were marked as "dangerous" or "unknown".
As Zhao Chen stared at these names, the vague memories in his mind gradually became clearer.
Angels, Hua Ye, Lie Yang, Shen He...
He recalled the story from the Super God Universe anime he had watched in his previous life.
So those weren't fabrications after all.
It turns out he traveled to this world.

He continued reading.

Zhao Chen's heart raced.
The kind of thing he killed was a ★ level.
The larger one deep in the canyon should be a ★★ level.
That sleeping giant worm is a ★★★ level.
As for anything higher... he didn't even dare to think about it.

Then another crystal plate was turned over.
A Brief History of the Super God Universe
The Divine River Civilization—one of the oldest known civilizations in the universe—created the Super God Academy, dedicated to researching genetic evolution and dark dimension technology. It later declined due to internal wars, but its legacy is scattered throughout the universe.
Angel Civilization – a civilization ruled by male angels, with Hua Ye as king, who reveres strength and order.
The Lieyang Civilization—centered around the star Lieyang, skilled in manipulating stellar energy, and advocating the ideal of "national prosperity and peace."
……
Zhao Chen turned the pages one by one, gaining a deeper and deeper understanding of the universe.
Angels, the blazing sun, the divine river… each power has its own history and characteristics. But the place he is currently in is just an insignificant dead star on the edge of the universe, without even a name.
-
Zhao Chen went through all of this material. The thing that helped Zhao Chen the most right now wasn't anything else but the language pack; at least when he looked at other crystal plates in the future, he wouldn't be completely unable to understand them like before.
He swallowed all the crystal plates back into his stomach, stood on the mountaintop, and looked up at the starry sky.
Behind those distant starlight, there are angels, demons, divine rivers, and blazing suns.
There were countless beings he had only seen on screen in his previous life.
Zhao Chen remained silent for a long time.
Then he spread his wings, faced the moonlight, and began to absorb the new night's energy.
That night, he studied with exceptional focus.
-
As dawn broke, Zhao Chen looked toward the canyon.
There are level ★★ and level ★★★ monsters inside.
And in those more distant star systems, there exist even stronger beings.
He still has a long way to go.
