The Era of Gods - Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Introverted Wu Zhonglin (Seeking Basic Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)
 

PS: Hey, asking for half a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, I’ll work harder on updates this month.

However, the Lord of All Things had not finished speaking; he continued:

“In addition to this, you can merge with this clump of Eternal Fire yourself, which would substantially increase your mastery of the rules. In theory, it should be enough to allow you to achieve mastery of an ordinary godhood beyond ten percent, surpass ten percent for a higher-ranking godhood, and potentially exceed fifty percent if it’s a weaker godhood.”

“Gulu!”

He could feel himself swallowing hard, this thing, so tempting.

“The Crystal Wall Origin can directly strengthen the Divine Realm, enhance cards, and your Clan, among other things.”

“The Divine Treasure of Myriad is an authority, or rather a qualification, that I once left behind. Besides some good things I left there for you, its main function is a slot. Normally, this slot isn’t of much use, but if I were to fall one day, the three inheritors of the Divine Treasure of Myriad would be qualified to compete for my most core legacy.”

“As for the qualification for the second phase of the Ruins of Myriad, that’s something you can return to visit the ruins once more before you undergo Divine Enthronement at the end of your university phase. At that time, I will bestow upon you a great gift that will serve you well post-enthronement.”

After the Lord of All Things finished speaking, Lin Xiao was already tempted.

But he did not agree outright; instead, he asked cautiously:

“May I know what Your Majesty wishes me to do?”

“I need you to go to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe and destroy the Crystal Wall Origin of that universe!”

“Hiss!”

Lin Xiao drew a sharp breath and immediately waved his hand:

“Your Majesty, I can’t help with that.”

What a joke, to destroy the Crystal Wall Origin of another Crystal Wall Universe, what kind of absurd deal is this, it’s a suicide mission.

No, suicide doesn’t even happen like this. It’s completely impossible. With his abilities, he wouldn’t even stand a chance to touch the Crystal Wall Origin, let alone destroy it.

“No, you can help. You wield the pure scepter of ‘Wrath’, unlike other lords of the abyss.”

The immense voice of the Lord of All Things resounded in his Sea of Gods:

“In the All-Embracing Crystal Wall Universe, you cannot sense anything amiss, but as soon as you return to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, I don’t know how you did it, but a purely pure lord of the abyss like you is naturally a Child of the Crystal Wall in the Great Abyss Universe. You are qualified to touch the Crystal Wall Origin.”

“I will send you back to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe where you will immediately attract the attention of the will of the Abyss Crystal Wall, thus obtaining the authority of the Child of the Crystal Wall. At that point, you will be able to access the Abyss Crystal Wall Origin, and I will give you a Divine Artifact. Using that Divine Artifact to destroy the Abyss Crystal Wall Origin is when your task will be completed.”

Lin Xiao…

There was no denying that he was moved.

“Whether you succeed or not, I will not take back what I have given you. The Star Realm Battleship I bestowed upon you has the coordinates of the All-Embracing Crystal Wall Universe. I will give you the access rights to traverse the Crystal Wall of All Things, so you can send incarnations to train in my universe whenever you wish.”

“If you succeed, my senses here will detect it, and then I shall bestow another great gift upon you. How does that sound?”

He was even more moved.

But beyond the temptation, he also felt a tinge of caution. Was the Lord of All Things’ enthusiasm just for this reason?

On the surface, it looked like a regular transaction, but for someone of the stature of the Lord of All Things to entice him this fervently, it was quite unimaginable. He had a slight wariness, feeling something was amiss.

However, he had no reason to refuse, nor did he want to. The offer was too generous.

Not to mention the Eternal Fire capable of continually enhancing his Divine Realm, but just those one hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin were equivalent to a thousand units of Creation Energy. This point… made him very tempted.

“What to do?”

He was in a quandary. It wasn’t enough time to consult his True Body, and he didn’t have any notes on hand.

What should he do?

But after careful consideration, he realized that he had no room for refusal.

Or rather, there seemed to be only one choice.

If his feelings were true, that the former Lord of the Crystal Wall System, the King of All Gods himself, was deigning to request the help of a mere high school student like him, then whatever he was asking for must be of great importance, leaving no room for refusal.

The reason he wasn’t forced to go was that this matter required his initiative.

If he was unwilling, even if thrown into the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, without his cooperation, the Lord of All Things had no recourse. That’s why a transactional approach was used, enticing him straightforwardly with a benefit.

Understanding this, Lin Xiao’s resistance faded, and he said:

“Respected Your Majesty, I am willing to go, but I have a small request.”

“Speak.”

“I would like a few more Treasures of Myriad!”

“You already possess the Divine Treasure of Myriad and other bestowed items. The treasures are of little use to you.”

“They’re for a few of my friends.”

“State their names.”

The Lord of All Things was very generous in this regard. Think about it—it’s normal. Treasures that they would strive desperately to obtain would be trivial to a King of All Gods, hence the lack of concern.

“Radiance Shen Yuexin and Dark Moon Lin Xu, as well as my classmates from Radiance who haven’t been eliminated yet. If they enter the treasure land, could the difficulty be lessened? Please ensure Shen Yuexin and Lin Xu get something, while the rest may find treasures. Preferably Shen Yuexin and Lin Xu will find the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse.”

He didn’t dare ask for one each; that would be hard to explain to them. Just lowering the difficulty should suffice, as with their abilities, there was a high chance they would obtain something.

“I can allocate one for each of them.”

The Lord of All Things was more generous than expected, but Lin Xiao still declined:

“You don’t need to give it directly, just reduce the difficulty for them.”

How could it be given directly? How could this be explained? Everyone in Radiance’s party received one of the Treasures of Myriad, and they got it without doing anything—it’s sure to cause trouble if word gets out.

Given Radiance’s status, there’s no need for an explanation, nor is it likely to be taken from him, but now that the four major forces have entered the Divine Treasure of Myriad together, such an anomaly is bound to draw the attention of the big shots from the four forces, leading to inquiries and a series of uncontrollable changes.

So, it’s better to play it safe.

The Lord of All Things did not pay attention to these concerns and agreed immediately.

Next, the trade began.

Initially, the Lord of All Things intended to have the Divine Artifact delivered to Lin Xiao’s True Body by a True God under his command, but he did not request it to be done that way; instead, he wanted it now.

Manifested on the outside, this was the Eternal Fire suddenly exploding, an infinite blaze raining down and enveloping the entire island. Li Xiushen, who was in the midst of a bitter struggle with the Evil Spirit Entity, looked up in confusion to see the sky filled with flames and light flooding over him, and then…

“Congratulations, you have defeated all the evil lords and their minions; you’ve obtained one Treasures of Myriad.”

“?????”

Reappearing outside Honeycomb Mountain, Li Xiushen’s face was full of question marks, and somewhat at a loss, he scratched his head and muttered to himself:

“What’s going on? Weren’t there two more stages? It’s just gone? BUG?”

With a thought, he checked his personal storage space and indeed, there was a dazzling orb of light hanging in the space, its touch confirming it was a Treasures of Myriad.

He looked around with some guilt, his face betraying uncontrollable excitement. After a moment’s thought, feeling unsafe, he pulled on his warhorse’s reins to leave the place first.

The same scenario happened to other Radiance contestants who were challenging the treasure. Compared to Li Xiushen’s child’s play-like clearance, the difficulty was slightly higher for the others—at least the Eternal Fire above the Floating Islands didn’t explode.

Meanwhile, in a certain location on The Floating Land of All Things Treasure, Dark Moon Lin Xu and a few companions were exploring an Under World. Suddenly, the rock bridge they were on collapsed, and they plummeted dozens of meters before landing on the plaza in front of a huge palace, the pop-up prompt surprising them:

“Treasures of Myriad!”

No sooner had the words faded than a suction force came, and the whole party was absorbed into it.

Before long, several players from the Dark Moon came out with somber expressions. One of them glanced at his companions and wondered:

“Where’s Lin Xu?”

“He hasn’t come out yet.”

“Then let’s wait.”

Soon after, Lin Xu appeared at the entrance to the Treasures of Myriad with a befuddled face. Among those chatting, one laughed and said:

“Was it very difficult? Don’t worry, holding out for so long is quite impressive.”

The only girl in the team, a beautiful girl with hair like crystal jade that radiated a faint life green light, comforted him:

“You don’t need to worry. You can enter the Treasures of Myriad multiple times. If you couldn’t get through this time, you can try again after a few more months of effort.”

“Right, you can always try again later.”

The few of them had a fairly good relationship.

To be precise, it was average before, but after they learned of his connection with Lin Xiao, these classmates naturally gravitated toward him, including the girl he admired.

“Right, let’s mark this place. We’ll come back after a few months when everyone is stronger…”

“I got it.”

“Try onwards… what did you say?”

The speaking classmate even instinctively touched his ear, while the others also stared in disbelief.

Lin Xu hesitated a moment as he looked at the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse in his personal space and then said:

“I’ve got a Treasures of Myriad!”

Silence.

All his companions gaped at the projection of the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse he cast out, too astonished to speak.

“How… how is that possible?”

Leaving aside the amazement and disbelief here, within Lin Xiao’s Strengthen Divine Realm, Lin Xiao’s True Body was equally shocked and incredulous as he looked at the many treasures that appeared out of nowhere inside the Creation Rubik’s Cube.

“What has this Incarnation of mine done again?”

The Eternal Fire that caused resonance throughout the whole Divine Realm upon its emergence.

The Crystal Wall Origin that contained rich rule fluctuations.

A palm-sized Star Realm Battleship that resembled a model.

An orb of light from the Divine Treasure of Myriad that emitted colorful halos.

And a Crystal Token that represented the qualification for the second stage of the Ruins of Myriad.

“Could my Incarnation have robbed the Myriad Images God Temple?”

However, the content written on a new note that soon appeared resolved his confusion.

After reading the information on the note, Lin Xiao fell into contemplation.

He affirmed the decision of the Incarnation. Had he been in that position, he would’ve made the same choice—there was no alternative.

While this action might not allow him to be perfectly complete, fortunately, this persona wasn’t actively split from him, but rather transformed from an Incarnation accidentally, so the damage to him wasn’t severe, and he could recover.

Although the requirements for recovery were extremely difficult, by the time he needed to recover, he would already possess Powerful Divine Power, and he believed that would give him the capability to resolve the issue.

Trading a problem that would be relatively easier to solve in the future for a current advantage to him
