The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Vera asked this question even in her precarious situation because, in her view, the young man in front of her could not possibly be a professional born from this lower plane.

After all, the upper limit of lower planes is what it is; whether it's the strength of professions or the resources that can be obtained, they are far inferior to those of higher divine realms.

Even if a few exceptionally talented individuals occasionally emerge and manage to break through dimensional limitations to reach level 100 or even higher, they are merely the tallest among the short. If placed in the true realm of gods, they would still be considered insignificant figures.

But this guy in front of me is clearly not one of them.

Because, from the moment they appeared until now, the other party had almost completely suppressed their entire hunter group in a single encounter.

That kind of suppression does not stem from a simple difference in attributes.

It is not a brutal and overwhelming suppression at the level of rules.

A silent professional skill, forcibly reducing attributes, planting an ominous countdown that cannot be removed, spreading a plague that ignores resistance, and this red-clad female ghost in front of me who is immune to all attacks...

Any one of these abilities would be enough to become a core trump card for those high-level professionals in the Star Sea realm.

Now they've all appeared around the same person.

Moreover, the rules mastered by each summoned creature are all so bizarre and domineering.

Not to mention them, the Star Hunters.

Even if Gu Xu were placed in the Starfall Divine Realm and thrown among the younger generation of those top forces, he would definitely be one of the most dangerous people.

Therefore, she really wanted to know who this young man in front of her was and where he came from.

Or perhaps, what exactly is his purpose, lurking in this lower plane?

However, when asked, Gu Xu simply shook his head: "Who I am is not important."

"The important thing is that you don't seem to have figured out your situation yet."

As he spoke, Gu Xu raised a finger and gently tapped the red silk wrapped around Vera's body: "Now I'll ask, and you'll answer."

"You have no right to ask me questions, and I have no interest in satisfying your curiosity."

"If you cooperate properly, I can let you die a quick death. But if you continue with this attitude, or say anything you shouldn't..."

Gu Xu paused for a moment, then looked past Vera at Tucci not far away, raising his chin: "That rat under my command is very interested in how to torment living people."

"If you want to play with it a little longer, I don't mind. I have plenty of time."

Upon hearing these words, Vera's expression nearly collapsed.

She wasn't immune to torture.

As a hunter who roams the starry sky year-round, she has naturally been captured before.

He was even imprisoned by hostile forces for a period of time.

She had personally experienced the burning of her soul and the tearing apart of her spirit.

But for some reason, looking at that rat covered in pus, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

Moreover, she knew very well that the threat posed by the man in front of her was not a bluff.

The plague rules that the rat possessed had already entered her body.

At this moment, she could even feel something slowly crawling along her blood vessels inside her body.

If the other party does not want her to die a quick death.

Her fate will likely be even more horrific than the tortures she has already endured.

Thinking of this, Vera gritted her teeth, though resentment still lingered in her eyes, she ultimately lowered her head, her face filled with despair, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"That's more like it."

Seeing this, Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction.

"The question is simple: who are you, where did you come from, and why did you intrude into our dimension?"

When these two questions were asked, Vera paused for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

"We are Star Hunters."

After a short while, she slowly spoke in a hoarse voice: "The hunter group I belong to is called the Fallen Leaf Court. We usually take on various commissions and also search for valuable resources in unclaimed star regions and certain planes."

"The Garden of Fallen Leaves?"

Gu Xu repeated the name.

He originally thought that these guys, even if they weren't the vanguard of a false god, might be leaders of some other plane.

In retrospect, he had overestimated this group of people.

The so-called Star Hunters, to put it more nicely, are adventurers who roam among the stars.

Judging from the way these guys act, they are clearly a group of interstellar bandits disguised as hunters. After discovering a weak plane, they simply break in, burn, kill, and plunder.

As for the commissions they mention, they're probably not entirely clean either.

"Go on, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Thinking of this, Gu Xu's eyes turned even colder.

"The Kingdom of the Blazing Sun".

Vera did not hide anything from this: "To be precise, we came for the Heart of the Sun in the Kingdom of the Sun God."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The Divine Kingdom of the Blazing Sun?

He was naturally familiar with this name.

After all, not long ago, he led nearly half of the demigods of Earth through that high-dimensional secret realm.

Although the Blazing Sun Emperor in the secret realm was troublesome, he didn't cause him too much trouble.

As for the Heart of the Sun that Vera mentioned...

If he's not mistaken.

It should be the Creation-level barrier item that I brought out from the secret realm, the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart.

"So... you went to all this trouble to break in, and killed so many of us, just for this one item?"

"Is it important to you?"

Clearly, Gu Xu had figured it out. After all, a ruthless profession like robbery naturally leads people to seek out the best deals.

However, Vera shook her head: "That thing is not important to us."

"After all, we have no connection with the Sun God Kingdom, nor do we need the Heart of the Sun to establish a barrier. The only reason we want it is because it is valuable enough."

How valuable is it?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu seemed to have triggered some key word and subconsciously began to ask questions.

He had no experience with the trading system in the Star Sea, so he naturally didn't know what price the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart could fetch if sold outside.

Vera was taken aback by the other party's sudden interest in the price, and then replied again: "If we have to measure it, its value is roughly equivalent to half of the Starfall Divine Realm."

After hearing this, Gu Xu paused for a moment.

Because he had heard a new term: Starfall Divine Realm.

What is this thing again?

Moreover, is the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart worth half of the Starfall Divine Realm?

That sounds a bit exaggerated.

The problem is that he has no idea how big the Starfall Divine Realm is, let alone what it represents.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Xu asked very seriously, "What is the Starfall Divine Realm?"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Vera froze again, and the expression on her face began to become extremely unnatural.
