Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 853 - 414: Full Max Stats, Top-Grade Potential! (Double Length)_3

He hasn't reached even 42 years of age yet, to say nothing of 4.2 billion years.

At those words, the folks nearby couldn't suppress their chuckles: "You're off base. Sure, in the Mortal Realm it's that way, but step into the second layer and the math shifts entirely. The great calamity hits far more often here, striking about every 42 years.

So, even scraping by, folks can last no longer than 42 years."

"Then, wouldn't lingering in the lower realm make more sense?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.

"You could see it that way, yet down there, beyond the great calamity, minor calamities pop up unpredictably even in safe areas. Given the power levels in the lower realm, they can't handle the great calamity at all— a single minor calamity rampage is plenty to end them, wiping out all their hard-won progress.

Once we arrive here, though, we get early warnings on those lower realm minor calamities and can step in to aid against them."

"Is that truly possible? Doesn't meddling in the lower realm during minor calamities draw Heavenly Dao restrictions?"

"Casual interference in the lower realm does bring heavy Heavenly Dao curbs on us. Still, during a minor calamity, the Heavenly Dao appears to deliberately permit our involvement. No one knows the precise cause, but it at least offers us an opportunity to shield loved ones back in the lower realm."

"Got it, but regardless, if the great calamity proves unstoppable, won't we end up engulfed in flames anyway?" Chen Mo muttered softly.

"Not completely. Each time the great calamity looms, simply reaching the fifth layer of the Sea of Cosmos lets you dodge it outright. Thus, for a lazy existence, you might squeeze out 42 years here at most. Yet, by venturing deeper into the Sea of Cosmos, gathering extra lifespan, and pushing further in, you evade the great calamity.

That said, probing the Sea of Cosmos carries massive risks; you'll likely clash with formidable beasts, and your remaining time drains even faster. It's merely picking the safer peril when the great calamity nears."

Following his talk with the Legendary Guild members, Chen Mo grasped the basics of this realm's setup.

To dodge death at the great calamity's onset, one needs to boost strength over those 42 years enough to navigate zones past the fifth layer in the Sea of Cosmos.

Yet, from what these folks shared, pulling that off proves incredibly tough.

This Sea of Cosmos clearly demands serious respect.

Chen Mo asked next about the president and vice-president's progress.

Even they have ventured no further than the seventh layer region of the Cosmic Sea.

Three full layers remain uncharted.

Across all documented guilds inside and out, the deepest probe hits only the eighth layer.

They fled in terror mere moments after arrival, highlighting the insane challenge of tackling the eighth layer of the Cosmic Sea.

Though the tales from the group sounded daunting, Chen Mo felt a thrill toward the Sea of Cosmos and itched to dive right in.

"For heading into the Sea of Cosmos, prep thoroughly first. As a fresh guild recruit, you can request 1000 Cosmic Source Crystals upfront from guild finances as starter capital—grab essentials from the market prior to venturing.

Our levels are too elevated; we can't guide you in the beginner zones since we gain no lifespan boosts there anymore, just extra drain."

Once Chen Mo voiced his interest in scouting the Sea of Cosmos, Cha Latu promptly gestured toward a peculiar being among the crowd—a squat, plump figure topped with a drill-like head.
