If the terms Sea Emperor and Sea King are used to describe people, they certainly aren't compliments.

However, the civilization of the Sea Emperor Star System is no ordinary matter!

The upper and lower limits of a star system civilization can vary greatly.

For example, the now-destroyed Celestial Essence Star System could effortlessly obliterate weaker star systems.

The Sea Emperor Star System civilization has a very mysterious origin and an extremely formidable strength, yet its destruction was also quite inexplicable.

It is a very powerful star cluster civilization, with its comprehensive strength almost infinitely close to a Supergalaxy Civilization.

Initially, Gu Qijue did not know what the Sea Emperor Star System civilization was.

But now, he knows.

When he looked at the relics of the Sea Emperor Star System, a look of keen interest flickered in his eyes.

Gu Qijue then asked Tian Li: "What's inside these black gold boxes?"

Tian Li shook his head: "I don't know."

This answer, of course, made Gu Qijue very surprised.

Tian Li's level is very high, and he trusted that Tian Li was not lying.

Gu Qijue continued: "How can these black gold boxes be opened?"

Tian Li's answer surprised Gu Qijue once more.

Only to see Tian Li smile helplessly and say: "We currently have no way to open these black gold boxes."

Gu Qijue naturally didn't understand, but this time without him asking further, Tian Li explained the reason.

"The relics of the Sea Emperor Star System are not abundant in number."

"But among these specially sealed objects, none are not treasures."

"To open the black gold boxes, one needs to find the Sea Emperor Key."

"It is a special key made by the Sea Emperor Star System civilization."

"When the Sea Emperor Key is near these black gold boxes, the box closest to the key will open."

After hearing this, Gu Qijue immediately understood the crux of the problem.

These black gold boxes are indeed treasures.

But to obtain the treasures left behind by the Sea King Star Cluster civilization, one needs the Sea Emperor Key.

So Gu Qijue asked, "Where is the Sea Emperor Key?"

This time Tian Li did not say he didn't know, but said: "Where there are ruins of the Sea King Star Cluster, there might be Sea Emperor Keys."

"As for Sea Emperor Keys on the market, they have always been in a situation of having a price but no market."

In short, Gu Qijue indeed picked up a treasure this time.

But such treasures can only be utilized with the Sea Emperor Key.

Gu Qijue, of course, did not want to go looking for the Sea Emperor Key, so he directly asked: "Can these black gold boxes be forced open with brute force?"

Tian Li shook his head: "No, these black gold boxes have a self-destruct mechanism."

"Once forcibly opened, a very terrifying explosion will occur."

"Not only can brute force not be used, but even attempting to break them open using other technical means of violent decryption won't work."

"Otherwise, the black gold boxes will explode."

"Some forces, after obtaining these black gold boxes, indeed used them as weapons."

Tian Li's words left Gu Qijue somewhat bemused.

Getting such a treasure left him quite helpless.

Since these black gold boxes have to be opened with the Sea Emperor Key, there's no other way.

Even if he's not very willing to look for the Sea Emperor Key, he still has to add the search for the Sea Emperor Key to his plans.

Gu Qijue didn't linger on the issue of the black gold boxes; instead, he looked at the other resources and asked:

"Do these other materials include any particularly special resources?"

He originally asked casually, not expecting Tian Li to nod.

Then Tian Li picked up a gray stone that Gu Qijue didn't recognize and said: "This is material Z-09, also known as Ash Source Ore."

"In the material code of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster civilization, materials starting with 'Z' are of extremely high value and wide-ranging use."

"The smaller the number following it, the more precious the material."

"This series of materials begins with Z-12 and goes up to Z-01, with increasing value."

"This type of Ash Source Ore doesn't usually appear in small quantities."

"When it does appear, it indicates that this resource star contains a large quantity of Ash Source Ore."

"His Excellency the Leader can find a way to acquire this resource star."

"If all the Ash Source Ore on this resource star can be fully extracted, the Infinite Empire will no longer lack high-end Super Divine Tier materials."

Tian Li's words were very appealing to Gu Qijue.

He quite trusted Tian Li's judgment.

Therefore, obtaining this seemingly insignificant resource star must be prioritized.

Actually, there's no need for any tricks, because the simplest way to obtain a resource star is through exchanging military merits.

To exchange for a resource star using merits, you need at least one billion merits.

If a resource star is particularly valuable, the merits needed for exchange will naturally increase.

Gu Qijue checked and found that exchanging for this resource star only required one billion merits.

Clearly, the people of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster haven't discovered the enormous value of this resource star yet.

But the problem is, even one billion merits is a huge number for Gu Qijue.

On the Bi Fang Battlefield, he was extremely busy, achieving great feats.

But the merits he currently has only total a few million.

Of course, this is because he only visited the Bi Fang Battlefield twice.

If he had stayed at the Bi Fang Battlefield longer, his merits would surely be much more.

Besides exchanging merits, he could also complete some high-difficulty tasks to directly receive a resource star as a reward.

Obviously, Gu Qijue doesn't plan to stay at the Bi Fang Battlefield to earn merits long term.

Earning merits through extensive effort just to exchange for one resource star apparently isn't worthwhile.

Even if this resource star contains an abundance of Ash Source Ore, it still isn't worthwhile.

Therefore, Gu Qijue's strategy was to directly acquire a resource star by completing special tasks.

There are many such tasks.

But any random task is hard to complete.

Even though these tasks aren't easy to complete, Gu Qijue still chose a search task.

This task is to find a commander named Lorin in a star war ruins on the Bi Fang Battlefield.

Commander Lorin is a commander of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Long ago, she led the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's combat forces in a terrifying war against the Qiongqi Star Cluster's combat forces, involving four hundred billion combat forces.

After that war ended, Commander Lorin disappeared.

And the place where the star war erupted is now called the Star War Ruins.

There are numerous starship wrecks and plenty of shattered planets.

Even so, that area still has numerous combat forces from both sides in continuous engagement.

Thus, finding back Commander Lorin is a very difficult task.

If someone could find back Commander Lorin, they would be rewarded with a resource star.
