I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 973: Chapter 632: Clues to the Amber of Space and Time

"Your elder brother?"

Qin Tian looked at Kesler with a slightly surprised gaze, his tone calm yet with a hint of amusement: "You’re asking a Major General of the Human Empire to take action and kill your biological brother? Did I hear you correctly."

"General Qin, you heard correctly."

Kesler’s expression remained calm, his tone indifferent: "In the Human Empire’s history, the Royal Family, Bloodline Families, and even ordinary families have never ceased to fight among themselves for power and profit. We Beastmen are no exception."

He slightly raised his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them: "Brodin and I have long stood on opposing sides due to the competition for succession within our family. If I don’t kill him, he will certainly kill me — in fact, he has already targeted me multiple times, and my current counterattack is merely self-defense."

"Then why did you come to me?"

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked bluntly, "By collaborating with a human, aren’t you taking too big of a risk? Aren’t you afraid that I might turn around and report you, charging you with treason and leading you to a downfall in the Beastman Empire?"

Kesler gently shook his head, his expression composed: "First of all, a baseless accusation couldn’t harm me in the slightest, and I wouldn’t leave any evidence. Secondly, reporting me holds no benefit for General Qin. I believe your wisdom prevents such a fruitless endeavor that harms others without benefiting yourself."

"As for why I chose you, the reason is simple. I trust no one within the Beastman Royal Family, as they could easily be bribed by Brodin. I can only choose an ally outside the Beastmen. After learning about Unol’s defeat, I conducted a thorough investigation of you. Your strength, cunning, and, just now, the terrifying might that you used to kill Raymond with one strike—all convinced me that you are the most suitable partner."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Qin Tian’s mouth slowly curved into a faint smile: "Aren’t you worried that this is merely wishful thinking? How can you be sure that I’ll agree to cooperate? If I inform your brother Brodin of this matter, perhaps I could earn more lucrative rewards than what you’re offering."

"So, it depends on what kind of stakes I can present to persuade General Qin." Kesler was unhurried, with a confident tone, "But I believe I’ll offer terms you can’t refuse."

"Oh?"

An interest flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes: "Let’s hear it."

Kesler spoke slowly: "General Qin, have you heard of the Space-time Amber?"

Upon hearing this name, Qin Tian’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

Space-time Amber, how could he not know.

Back on Silver Gray Star, he seized a piece of amber from a vampire, which contained the essence blood of an Ancient Giant Beast.

He had used countless methods but was unable to break open the amber even the slightest.

After reaching the Royal Star, he asked someone to appraise it, confirming that the piece of amber was indeed a sub-body of the Space-time Amber.

Space-time Amber, a supreme treasure listed among the cosmos’ wonders.

According to the Human Empire’s Seventh Bureau’s top secret files, the Space-time Amber first emerged 30,000 years ago on the planet Sedaya, a sacred relic worshipped by the native inhabitants for generations.

It has only one ability—absolute seal.

Anyone or anything encased within it would be entirely isolated from external time and space, surviving unchanged for ten thousand years.

Its most terrifying aspect is that even a Tier Nine Powerhouse of semi-god level would have no chance of breaking open from the inside, and external force could never shatter it.

Three thousand years ago, the Space-time Amber’s main body briefly appeared, only to vanish again without a trace.

Could it be that Kesler actually possesses the Space-time Amber’s main body?

Impossible.

Qin Tian shook his head secretly.

No one would bring out such a treasure as a bargaining chip.

At most, Kesler merely holds clues to the Space-time Amber.

As expected, Kesler slowly spoke, confirming his suspicion: "Seeing General Qin’s reaction, you seem to understand Space-time Amber, so I won’t waste words explaining it. I possess the precise clues to the Space-time Amber’s main body."

Qin Tian looked at him with a calm gaze: "How can I be sure you’re not fabricating this from thin air?"

"It’s simple. General Qin, please take a look."

Without any unnecessary words, Kesler gently waved his hand, and two palm-sized, entirely yellow ambers quietly floated in his palm.

One piece of amber encased a battle sword entirely black, its blade still bearing dark red blood stains undiminished by time, with restrained evil qi;

The other amber held a human silhouette—or, more accurately, a human demon.

He had a refined, human-like face, eyes closed, his whole body covered in tiny black scales, with a broken tailbone coiled at his side, black mist curling around him, plainly seen through the amber’s hued clarity.

With just one look, Qin Tian could ascertain that these two pieces of amber were entirely consistent with the fragment he held, which sealed the essence blood of a giant beast.

These were indeed genuine sub-bodies of the Space-time Amber.

"Where did you find these two pieces of amber?" Qin Tian asked, his tone more serious.

Kesler did not hide it: "The exact coordinates I cannot disclose for now. I can only say that these fragments come from an ancient relic. However, the relic’s spatial entrance is extremely unstable, riddled with temporal turbulence. To safely enter, a top-tier Space Element powerhouse must be present. That’s why I sought you out."

"General Qin’s Power of Spatial Control ranks among the best in the entire Star Sea. If you and I join forces, we will surely be able to successfully enter the relic. As for who ultimately obtains the body of Space-time Amber, that will depend on our respective skills."
