A Pauper's Paradise
Just as Ye Xuan had learned, the Domain of Death was a desolate, dark, black-hole-like region.
Although this wasn't a real black-hole-like region, as soon as one entered the edge of this region, one would find that the stars in the vast starry river were gone. All the stars in sight had withered and died. None of them emitted any light or heat. As a result, this vast region of the starry river was like a pool of stagnant water. There weren't any energy fluctuations in the starry river, not to mention the spiritual Qi in the air.
In a word, this region of the starry river was like a real dead land. There was no light, no heat, and no natural energy fluctuations. The only thing that could be seen were the experts who were working hard on the dead stars like laborers.
These experts weren't prisoners. They had all come to the Domain of Death on their own accord, just like the experts who had gathered in the Domain of the Buried Domain to excavate star core origins.
The only difference was that the experts who had gone to the Domain of the Buried Domain of the Buried Domain were mainly excavating star core origins. Although there were other kinds of mineral deposits, star core origins were the main targets.
As for the Starry Sky Masters who appeared in this Dead Star Field, their targets were all kinds of rare and precious minerals.
A star had completely withered and died. The light and heat in the core of the star had been completely burned away, leaving behind only a black, skeleton-like star. However, inside the star, there would be some mineral deposits of essence left. These mineral deposits had experienced the life and death of the star, from emitting light and heat, and then completely withered away, so they had some special effects that other normal stars did not have.
This also caused their value to soar by a lot. Usually, if they dug up a little, they could trade it to some Weapon Refiners or forces that needed it, and they could exchange it for a considerable amount of cultivation resources.
Besides, although there were countless stars in the boundless starry river, almost every starry river was ruled by a force. The Heavenly River Star was right next to the Domain of the Buried Domain.
If there were powerhouses from the Milky Way Galaxy who did not care about the survival of the Milky Way Galaxy and used destructive means to excavate mineral deposits around the Milky Way Galaxy, then the Milky Way Galaxy's Federal Garrison would not sit idly by.
Therefore, even in the Domain of the Buried Domain, the experts who were excavating star core origins wouldn't use destructive means to excavate. Most of them would just drill a shaft that led to a dying star and see if there was any star core origin in its core.
If there was, they would take it. If there wasn't, they would just leave.
Basically, the damage to the star itself wouldn't be too obvious.
Even the stars in the Domain of the Buried Domain that were on the verge of death had suffered such a result, not to mention the normal stars in the starry river Star.
No one would dare to use destructive means to excavate, which would limit the speed of excavation and the efficiency of mining.
However, it was different in the Domain of Death. No one knew how the Domain of Death had come into being, but all the stars in this vast area had died. There wasn't even the slightest bit of light or heat in the starry river. The natural energy that usually drifted in the starry river didn't exist either. It was as if there was an invisible force that had devoured everything.
Some people might have suspected this before. However, no matter whether or not anyone had tried to find out the truth, at least on the surface, no relevant information had ever been disclosed.
There was only one thing that everyone knew, and that was that this Star Field, an extremely vast Star Field, had completely lost its normal function. The only thing that was left was the last value of mining mineral deposits.
Therefore, in this Field of Death, all the experts in space could excavate as they pleased. If they were certain that a certain valuable mineral deposit was hidden on a certain planet, and if they had the ability to do so, they could gather a few of their friends and work together to directly smash the entire planet into a pile of rubble. Nobody would care about it!
However, although this greatly improved the efficiency of excavating mineral deposits and made the operation more convenient, it also inevitably stirred up the entire Domain of Death into a black smog.
Because this Domain of Death was in the middle of the forces of the third universe of the human race's technology camp and the cultivation camp, both the immortal dynasty and the Ten Ultimates Heavenly Palace of the cultivation camp had stationed fleets and high-level officials to guard this place.
However, the only purpose of these official forces entering this Domain of Death was to collect all kinds of mineral deposits, especially Source Crystals. This purpose alone had already put all their attention into it. Who would care about the destruction of this Domain of Death?
For a long time, because the official forces of the two camps, the Ten Ultimates Heavenly Palace and the immortal dynasty, were indifferent to the mining of mineral deposits in this Domain of Death. They only cared about the results and did not care about the process. As time passed, all the experts who entered this Domain of Death and dreamed of excavating a piece of Source Crystal and making a windfall became more and more unscrupulous.
This situation had been going on for many years. The entire vast and boundless Domain of Death had been destroyed, but everyone had long been accustomed to it. No one felt that there was anything wrong with it.
It was under this background that Ye Xuan came to the Domain of Death.
Everything that entered his eyes, from all kinds of things in the distance, it was very difficult to see a few complete stars. Even if there were, they were the type that was incomparably huge and difficult to completely destroy, forcibly blasting them into a pile of starry sky dust.
However, even the surface of such giant stars was basically dug up into an unsightly state. Not a single giant star was intact. It was as if a huge Heavenly Dog had bitten off a piece or a few pieces of it. It was a ghastly sight.
In contrast to this desolate and miserable scene, a large number of experts of the Starry Sky were either standing in the Void with their physical bodies, casting various spells and magical abilities, or rummaging through the pieces of rubble of different sizes formed by the destruction of the stars.
Or, they were squatting in their respective warships, firing cannons at the stars or the larger pieces of the stars …
These guys were all covered in dust and grime. A large number of stars and pieces of the stars had been blasted away, causing a cloud of dust to fill the sky. Under such circumstances, it was absolutely a luxury to want to keep one's personal appearance clean and tidy.
Therefore, all of the diggers that entered his eyes were in a sorry state. It reminded Ye Xuan of some of the gold miners in the black gold mines from his previous life, a group of poor bastards who held onto the dream of getting rich!
Regarding all this, Naples obviously did not know. After being stunned for a while, even he could not help but fall into shock, as if he had just been struck by lightning. He muttered to himself, "F * ck! Can these guys still be considered experts of the Starry Sky? Since this General was born, I have never seen experts of the Starry Sky more miserable than this … "
