Chapter 2383: Condensing the Buddha Tower Again! Coming Out of Seclusion! The Five Major Families’ Speculation! (1)

After an unknown period had passed, the starry expanse returned to its solitude and stillness, everything returning to silence.

If not for the fact that this void had become a wasteland, if not for the terrifying dimensional rifts that had yet to disappear.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

The three individuals who had once existed here had vanished without a trace, unseen by anyone.

Various celestial bodies shattered into meteorites. Remnants of exploded cosmic battleships floated aimlessly in the void, drifting without any discernible pattern.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. A spacecraft passed through this area, a mercenary group on a mission, the strongest of whom were merely cosmos-stage martial warriors.

They beheld the ruins and the still-unhealed dimensional rifts, filled with unspeakable horror.

“Let’s get out of here! Something terrible must have happened here,” Someone said anxiously, swallowing hard.

“It seems to be over already, otherwise it wouldn’t be so calm,” Another observed hesitantly.

“Yeah, maybe…”

“Let’s go down and take a look. There might be some treasures!”

“With such a terrifying scene, the fighters involved must have been universe-stage martial warriors. There must be treasures!”

“Leader, what do you think?”

“We seek fortune amidst danger. Since we’ve stumbled upon it, let’s go down and take a look.” The leader of the mercenary group spoke solemnly.

As space mercenaries, these warriors were cautious of death yet daring in the face of danger. Ultimately, they decided to explore the area.

Before long, they stumbled upon wreckage from spacecraft and battleships. Even though much had been destroyed or lost in the dimensional rifts, among these remnants, there might still be precious metals worth a substantial sum of universe coins.

For this mercenary group, whose strongest members were only cosmos-stage martial warriors, it was already a huge gain.

Moreover, it was a completely unexpected windfall, unlike the risks involved in mercenary missions. Naturally, they were extremely excited and happy.

“Do you guys see the black skull mark on this?” A mercenary found a relatively large piece of spacecraft wreckage, expressing doubt.

“Let me take a look.” In no time, many people gathered around.

Wreckage with identifiable marks was a valuable find as it could potentially provide clues about the identity of the unfortunate fleet.

“A black skull mark!” The leader of the mercenary group flashed over to the mercenary holding the debris, his gaze suddenly narrowing. “The Black Skull Universe Pirates!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.

“Le-leader, are you saying it’s the Black Skull Universe Pirates, one of the three major pirate groups?” The mercenary who found the wreckage stuttered, feeling as if the debris in his hand had turned into a hot potato that he wanted to throw away immediately.

“Yes, there’s no doubt about it. Besides the Black Skull Universe Pirates, no one else would dare to use this emblem,” the leader said in a solemn tone.

“But how could this be the Black Skull Universe Pirates!” The disbelief among the group was palpable.

The fact that a fleet from the Black Skull Universe Pirates had met its end here was simply unthinkable!

What happened?

“I remember just a few days ago, a fleet from the Black Skull Universe Pirates besieged the Five Burial Stars, and later, no one knew where they went,” a mercenary said suddenly.

The others immediately caught on. Someone opened the star map, confirming the distance between the Five Burial Stars and this location, and the timing matched perfectly.

“That fleet from the Black Skull Universe Pirates seems to be the one!!” For a moment, everyone exchanged glances.

“Quick, get into the ships. We must leave here immediately,” the leader of the mercenary group said, his face pale with horror.

“Leader, what about these wreckage pieces? They’re worth a fortune!” Someone protested unwillingly.

“Money, money, money, even at a time like this, all you care about is money. Hurry up, if the Black Skull Universe Pirates find out we’ve come here, they won’t spare us,” the leader said angrily.

The expressions of the group changed completely as if they had just realized something terrifying. Without hesitation, they all entered their ships and left the area.

In the following days, others came to this part of the stars. Naturally, like the mercenary group, they scavenged around, found some valuable items, and then also discovered the emblem of the Black Skull Universe Pirates, scaring them into leaving immediately.

With more people discovering it, not everyone was wise about spreading the news of the Black Skull Universe Piratess’ fleet destruction.

A huge commotion was caused.

Another day passed, and an elderly man arrived at the scene. Emerging from the void, he seemed to blend with the surrounding emptiness. His gaze swept over, his profound eyes containing a sense of timelessness and insight that seemed to penetrate everything.

“A god stage!”

“No, just a projection.”

An old voice that sounded like he was mumbling to himself came from his mouth.

The next moment, he waved his hand, and the entire starry sky began to ripple as if affected by waves spreading in all directions.

Before long, a mass of flesh materialized from the void, floating before the old man.

The flesh squirmed, revealing half a body. It was Heishan Gan. His lower half was gone, leaving only his upper body, including his heart, suspended in the air before the elderly man..
