However, the Lord of All Things hadn’t finished speaking, and he continued:
“In addition, you can merge with this sphere of Eternal Fire on your own, significantly increasing your mastery of the rules. In theory, it should allow you to reach a mastery of over ten percent for an ordinary Godhood and over ten percent for a higher Godhood. If it’s a weaker Godhood, it’s possible to reach over fifty percent.”
“Gulu!”
He could feel himself swallowing, this thing—it was so tempting.
“The Crystal Wall Origin can directly strengthen the Divine Realm, fortify Cards and the Clan, and so on.”
“The Divine Treasure of Myriad is an authority, or rather a qualification, that I once left behind. Apart from some good things I left there that are beneficial for you all, its main role is a spot. This spot is usually of little use, but if I were to fall and fail in the future, the three inheritors who obtain the Divine Treasure of Myriad will be eligible to compete for my most core legacy.”
“As for the qualification for the second phase of the Ruins of Myriad, that is something you can return to the ruins for before you are about to be divinely enthroned in the later stages of your university,” the Lord of All Things will grant you a generous gift, which you’ll find useful after your initial Divine Enthronement.”
After the Lord of All Things finished speaking, Lin Xiao was already moved.
But he didn’t agree immediately and instead cautiously asked:
“May I know what Your Majesty wishes for me to do?”
“I need you to go to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe and destroy the Crystal Wall Origin of the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe!”
“Hiss!”
Lin Xiao inhaled sharply and immediately waved his hand:
“Your Majesty, I am unable to help with this.”
What a joke, destroying the Crystal Wall Origin of another Crystal Wall Universe was an insane proposition—it was tantamount to a death sentence.
No, death sentences weren’t handed out like this, it was utterly impossible, he didn’t even have a chance to touch the Crystal Wall Origin, let alone destroy it.
“No, you can help. You wield the pure authority of ‘Wrath’; you are different from other lords of the Abyss.”
The majestic voice of the Lord of All Things resonated within his Sea of Gods:
“In the All Things Crystal Wall Universe, you might not sense anything unusual, but as soon as you return to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, I don’t know how you achieved it, but someone like you, an absolutely pure lord of the Abyss, is naturally a Child of the Crystal Wall. You have the qualifications to interact with the Crystal Wall Origin.”
“I will send you back to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe. You will immediately gain the attention of the will of the Abyss Crystal Wall and thereby obtain the authority of the Child of the Crystal Wall. Then you can interact with the Abyss Crystal Wall Origin. I will give you a Divine Artifact, and when the time comes, you will use the artifact to destroy the Abyss Crystal Wall Origin, and your mission will be complete.”
Lin Xiao…
Undeniably, his interest was piqued.
“Regardless of whether you succeed or not, what I have given you will not be taken back. The Star Realm Battleship I bestowed upon you has the cosmic coordinates of the All Things Crystal Wall Universe. I will grant you the authority to traverse the Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall, and in the future, you can dispatch an Incarnation to my universe for training whenever you wish.”
“If you succeed, I will sense it here. Then, I will bestow upon you an additional grand gift. How does that sound?”
He was even more moved.
But alongside the excitement, a trace of caution emerged. Was the Lord of All Things truly just being generous?
Of course, on the surface, it seemed like a straightforward deal, but for the Lord of All Things to instigate such a tempting offer to him was utterly inconceivable. He became slightly wary, feeling that something was amiss.
Despite that, he had no reason to refuse, nor did he want to refuse, for the offer was just too generous.
Not to mention the Eternal Fire that could continuously strengthen his Divine Realm, the one hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin alone were equivalent to one thousand units of Creation Energy, a fact that he found very tempting.
“What should I do?”
He was somewhat conflicted; there wasn’t enough time to consult with his True Body, and he didn’t have a note on hand either.
How should he proceed?
But after careful consideration, he realized that he had no room to refuse.
Or rather, there was only one choice.
If his feeling was right, the Lord of All Things, the once Sovereign of the All-Embracing Crystalline Universe and King of Gods, by condescending to request the help of a mere high school student like him, must be asking for something significant, something that left no room for rejection.
The reason he wasn’t being forced was because it required his active participation.
If he were unwilling, even if he were thrown into the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, without his cooperation, the Lord of All Things could do nothing, which is why he was being tempted with a deal and direct material enticements.
Realizing this, Lin Xiao felt far less resistant and spoke up:
“Respected Your Majesty, I am willing to go, but I have a small request.”
“Speak.”
“I want a few more Treasures of Myriad!”
“You already have the Divine Treasure of Myriad and other bestowments; the treasures are of little use to you.”
“I want to give them to a few of my friends.”
“State their names.”
The Lord of All Things was very generous in this regard, which was understandable. What others would struggle so hard to acquire was nothing but a trifle to a King of All Gods; it was, thus, of little concern to him.
“Radiance Shen Yuexin and Dark Moon Lin Xu, and also, if my not-yet-eliminated classmates enter the treasure, could you possibly lower the difficulty? Shen Yuexin and Lin Xu MUST obtain it, the others could have the treasure, but for those two, ideally it would be the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse.”
He didn’t dare ask for one each, that would be hard to explain to them, just by lowering the difficulty, with their capabilities, they had a high probability of obtaining it.
“I can allocate one to each of them.”
The Lord of All Things’ generosity went beyond his expectations, but Lin Xiao still refused:
“No need to give directly, just lower their difficulties, and that will do.”
“`
How can I simply give it away? How would I explain this? Everyone in Radiance’s group obtained a Divine Treasure of Myriad, and they did so without doing anything, just taking it directly. If word of this got out, it would definitely cause trouble.
Given Radiance’s status, there’s no need to explain, and it wouldn’t be possible for someone to take it from him. But now four major forces have entered the Divine Treasure of Myriad together, and this anomaly will surely attract the attention of the big shots from each force, leading to inquiries and a series of uncontrollable changes.
So, it’s better to play it safe.
The Lord of All Things paid no heed to these matters and readily agreed.
Next, naturally, the transaction began.
The Lord of All Things initially planned to have the treasures handed to Lin Xiao’s True Body by his own True Gods, but Lin Xiao didn’t require it to be done that way and wanted it now.
Externally, this manifested as the Eternal Fire suddenly exploding with a blast, infinite flames cascading down and covering the entire island. Li Xiushen, who was struggling against the Evil Spirit Entity, looked up with a dumbfounded expression to see the sky filled with fiery light engulfing him, and then…
“Congratulations, you’ve defeated all the evil lords and their minions. You’ve obtained a Divine Treasure of Myriad *1.”
“?????”
Li Xiushen, reappearing outside Honeycomb Mountain with a face full of question marks, scratched his head, puzzled, and mumbled to himself:
“What happened? Weren’t there two more stages? Is it over? A bug?”
With a thought, he checked his personal storage space and indeed saw a dazzling orb of light suspended there, knowing through his intent that it was the Divine Treasure of Myriad.
He looked around, somewhat guiltily, his face showing an uncontrollable surge of elation. After thinking it over, he felt it wasn’t safe here and decided to take the reins of his warhorse and leave the area first.
A similar situation befell the other Radiance contestants who were challenging for the treasure; however, unlike the child’s play-like ease with which Li Xiushen progressed, the difficulties for the others were relatively higher—at least the Eternal Fire above the Floating Islands didn’t explode.
Meanwhile, located somewhere on The Floating Land of All Things Treasure, Lin Xu and a few companions were exploring an underground world. Suddenly, the rock bridge they were on collapsed, and after plummeting dozens of meters, they landed before a grand palace in a plaza, and the pop-up prompt that appeared took them all by surprise:
“Divine Treasure of Myriad!”
No sooner had they spoken than a pull came over them, sucking the entire group inside.
Before long, several contestants from Dark Moon came out looking dejected. One glanced around and asked curiously:
“Where’s Lin Xu?”
“He hasn’t come out yet.”
“Then let’s wait.”
Not much later, Lin Xu appeared at the entrance of the Divine Treasure of Myriad with a baffled face. The chatting companions saw him, and one said with a laugh:
“Was it too difficult? No worries, it’s impressive that you’ve lasted this long.”
The only girl in the group, a beautiful young lady with hair shining like jade and emitting a faint glow of life, comforted him:
“You don’t have to mind it. You can enter the Divine Treasure of Myriad multiple times. If you can’t make it through now, you can try again after a few more months of hard work.”
“Right, you can always try again later.”
They all had a reasonably good relationship.
To be exact, their relationship was average before, but after learning of his connection with Lin Xiao, these classmates actively befriended him, including the girl he admired.
“By the way, let’s mark this place, and when everyone’s stronger in a few months, we’ll come back…..”
“I got it.”
“Try a… what did you say?”
The speaking classmate reflexively reached to clean his ear, while the others also stared wide-eyed.
Lin Xu glanced at the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse in his personal space, hesitated, and then said:
“I obtained a Divine Treasure of Myriad!”
Silence.
All his companions gaped at him, looking at the projection of the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse he cast, too astonished to speak.
“How… how is this possible?”
Not to dwell on the various shocks and incredulities here, in Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm, his True Body looked at the many treasures that had appeared out of nowhere in the Creation Rubik’s Cube, equally shocked and incredulous.
“What on earth did my Incarnation do?”
He took out several items that resonated with the entire Divine Realm, including the Eternal Fire.
The Crystal Wall Origin that contained rich fluctuations of Rules.
A palm-sized model-like Star Realm Battleship.
A Divine Treasure of Myriad light orb radiating seven-colored brilliance.
And a Crystal Token that signified qualification for the second phase of the Ruins of Myriad.
“It couldn’t be that my Incarnation had robbed the Myriad Images God Temple, could it?”
But a new piece of paper soon cleared his confusion.
After reading the information on the piece of paper, Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
He affirmed the decision made by his Incarnation. If it were him, he would have had to make the same choice; there wasn’t really an option.
Doing so might make him less than perfect, but fortunately, this Incarnation was not actively split from him but accidentally transformed from an Incarnation, so the damage to him was minor and could be compensated.
The requirements for compensation were extremely difficult, but by the time he needed to compensate, he would already possess Powerful Divine Power, and by then, he believed he would have sufficient ability to resolve the issue.
