After letting Dumpling control the spaceship, the first thing Luo Fan wanted to do was claim his reward.
"System, claim reward!"
In the next moment, his luck increased by 100,000.
On the system interface, a "Beginner Space Talent" had been added under Talents.
Although he didn't know why his luck was so strong that it brought him to this cursed place, he claimed the reward first.
Right now, what he needed most was luck.
Dumpling maneuvered the ship to dodge as many space fragments as possible.
Because of this, their speed wasn't very fast.
Fortunately, Luo Fan's spaceship was the latest technology from the Mechanical Race.
He directly instructed Dumpling to shrink the spaceship.
This helped avoid many collisions.
After all, no matter how agile the ship was, it wasn't as flexible as an Immortal-level warrior.
Some powerful beings could reach the speed of light and enter the Dark Universe with their physical bodies.
Along the way, the ship was inevitably hit by a few space fragments.
Each time it was knocked off course, it needed to readjust its direction.
Finally, after several days, Luo Fan's ship was about to exit the space interlayer.
However, at this moment, Luo Fan became even more cautious.
Because the spaceship's energy reserves were nearly depleted,
it could only endure one more collision with a space fragment,
and it couldn't be too large either.
So now, he had to be even more careful.
As the ship drew closer to the original universe, Luo Fan let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally about to get out?"
But just as he finished speaking, the ship's sensors gave another alert.
"Master, another unusual space fragment has been detected ahead."
"This fragment cannot be avoided and is about to collide. Please prepare, Master."
At that moment, Luo Fan almost wanted to slap himself, what a jinx!
Shortly after Dumpling's warning, the fragment arrived in front of the ship.
Because the external simulation was active, Luo Fan could see the fragment with his own eyes.
He immediately entered the shock-absorption chamber, ready for the collision.
However, he noticed there was no familiar vibration at all.
Just as he was puzzled, Dumpling's voice came through.
"Master, come take a look!"
"This is a shattered divine kingdom!"
"No, it should still be considered a World of a Realm Master."
At this, Luo Fan was completely confused by Dumpling's words.
A divine kingdom and a Realm Master's world were not the same thing.
But he was curious, how could there be a Realm Master's world or a divine kingdom here?
He was currently very close to the original universe.
The layer for divine kingdoms lay deeper within the space interlayers.
Even if a divine kingdom shattered, it wouldn't drift to this place.
And a Realm Master's world definitely wouldn't appear here.
Typically, Realm Master worlds exist within the original universe.
Unless a Realm Master happened to die in the space interlayer, which was extremely rare.
But normally, Realm Masters wouldn't enter the space interlayer at all.
So naturally, Luo Fan found this strange.
However, Dumpling quickly explained the reason.
It turned out this belonged to someone who had just broken through to Immortal.
At the moment of their Immortal breakthrough, their divine kingdom hadn't yet formed.
To establish a divine kingdom, one needs to use their internal world to fuse with a piece of space.
But the owner of this internal world had just broken through to Immortal and died before they had time to establish their divine kingdom.
At this point, Luo Fan was curious, who was this unlucky soul?
They had just broken through to Immortal and already died.
Their internal world hadn't even transformed into a divine kingdom yet.
And an Immortal could die here?
If an Immortal died here, it was highly likely they were being hunted.
However, generally, when Immortals broke through, they would choose a safe place.
So Luo Fan was quite puzzled.
"Dumpling, scan the size of this internal world."
Soon, the detectors finished scanning.
This internal world actually exceeded ten million kilometers.
Even within the detector's range, the full boundaries of the internal world couldn't be detected.
This made Luo Fan even more intrigued.
After all, even for the Golden Horn Beast, after breaking through to Realm Master, its internal world might only reach one hundred million kilometers.
The gap between the Golden Horn Beast and humans was significant.
So for a human's internal world to exceed ten million kilometers was already considered genius-level.
However, Luo Fan noticed that this internal world was severely damaged.
This further confirmed for him that this Immortal had indeed been killed by someone.
Otherwise, how could the internal world be broken like this?
Even if a Realm Master died, their internal world wouldn't normally be damaged to this extent.
Clearly, the internal world had exploded after death and had been attacked.
At this moment, all Luo Fan wanted was to leave.
After all, if the internal world had been attacked after death, it meant that the treasures inside were probably gone.
But just then, some of the ship's previously deployed detection drones made a discovery.
"Master, some Universe Crystals have been detected."
"Huh? There are Universe Crystals here?"
Universe Crystals were hard currency.
Luo Fan didn't hesitate and immediately piloted the ship closer.
Even though he now had money, he couldn't afford to waste resources.
Soon, the ship arrived at the location of the detection drones.
Looking at the display on the detectors, Luo Fan could indeed see some Universe Crystals.
This detector was a large-scale one; after all, it wasn't specialized for finding treasures.
These detectors were mainly used as radar, to detect the ship and any enemies.
Sometimes they could also be used to scan the environment.
Of course, for detailed scanning in a small area, they weren't as effective as dedicated short-range detectors.
Babata's detector, for example, had only a 20-kilometer range, it was a type of short-range detector.
However, now that they were closer, the detectors managed to locate these Universe Crystals.
Luo Fan immediately sent his detection drones to start extracting the Universe Crystals.
At this moment, he regretted not having cultivated a Mo Yun Vine.
But mainly, it was because he hadn't had the money earlier.
He had Dumpling control the ship to fire some laser beams, assisting the drones in mining the Universe Crystals.
Soon, the drones had finished their work.
They had extracted three thousand units of Universe Crystals!
That was quite a lot.
However, Luo Fan noticed something strange about these crystals.
Earlier, he had already realized that these Universe Crystals were completely exposed on the surface.
Or rather, it seemed that someone had already dug them up before.
However, whoever had dug here before hadn't taken all the Universe Crystals.
Moreover, these crystals had some missing chunks, as if bitten off by some unknown force.
Luo Fan continued moving forward.
The detection drones had found more things in the area.
Soon, Luo Fan unearthed a few more Universe Crystal deposits.
However, these were small in size and not very valuable.
He was almost reluctant to bother collecting them.
He had initially assumed this place belonged to a newly ascended genius Unfading.
In that case, the Universe Crystals here shouldn't be so scarce, unlike ordinary Archlord-level worlds where only a few crystals appear.
Yet, the crystals here were even fewer than some newly discovered Archlord worlds.
Luo Fan decided to head toward the core of this world.
If he didn't find anything worthwhile there, he would leave.
