The Era of Gods

Chapter 285: 285 The Sudden Appearance of the Will of the Emperor of Myriad Forms

326 units of Creation Energy.

Lin Xiao racked his brains to think of a way to break through the current

situation.

Strengthen the Clan?

How far should the Clan be strengthened in order to break through?

Enhance an Ancient Treasure?

This…

Lin Xiao suddenly felt depressed. He had previously spent over thirty units of Creation Energy to enhance a treasure…

There was no problem with strengthening the treasure; the decision was completely right under the circumstances of that time.

He berated himself not for the decision, but for not being flexible in his thinking-why did he think of enhancing the treasure but not the Ancient Treasures?

Leaving earlier considerations aside, now that the Clan had been summoned, the effects of the Ancient Treasures could benefit all the members of the Clan within the Divine Realm. Even if the Clan members left the Divine Realm, they would still be endowed with the effects of the Ancient Treasure. Now would be the perfect time to create a Top-tier Heirloom.

In this world, treasures and Ancient Treasures are very similar, probably simplified versions of the Ancient Treasures, effective only for the troops personally commanded by oneself. If the troops are divided and sent out, the effects won’t apply.

In addition, although he had not tried it, Lin Xiao surmised that these treasures apparently could not be taken out of the Ruins of Myriad.

So, there was no need to further improve the treasures he currently had in hand; they had reached their limit.

He certainly couldn’t work on enhancing an Ancient Treasure with his current Incarnation, but his True Body could do it.

Lin Xiao wrote down what he wanted to say on a note and threw it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube without bothering about it anymore. Then his True Body in the Divine Realm sensed the note in the Creation Rubik’s Cube, looked it over, and immediately knew what to do.

As an item that remained undetected under the watchful eyes of Powerful Divine Power, he did not know the full extent of how miraculous the Creation Rubik’s Cube could be. The Cube used by his Incarnation to communicate was not a projection of the Creation Cube, but the actual Cube located within the True Body’s Sea of Gods.

In other words, regardless of whether it was his True Body or his Incarnation, no matter how far apart they were, they could communicate through this ability.

This little trick was also discovered after the Law Fragment gained from that one singularity was absorbed by his True Body-something he had never considered before.

After conveying the current situation and thoughts of his Incarnation to his True Body, Lin Xiao looked up at the defense barrier that was about to wear down, and ordered some of the Mage team to set up a new barrier to buy as much time as possible.

Within the Divine Realm, after Lin Xiao’s True Body read the note from his Incarnation… he fell into deep thought.

He hadn’t expected his Incarnation to face such a crisis, and to be honest, he didn’t think that the solution provided by his Incarnation would be of any use.

He currently had only two Ancient Treasures, both of which were First Level. One was the Fist of the Titan, a First Level Ancient Treasure he received upon entering Radiance, which could be attached to the Divine Realm to add a bit of Strength to all Clan members.

The other was called Blood of the Giant Beast, also a First Level Ancient Treasure, which could be attached to the Divine Realm to add a bit of Constitution to all Clan members. It was the reward for topping the Glorious Middle School’s prestigious list in the first half of the year.

These were very common and ordinary Ancient Treasures, with nothing remarkable about them.

Just like with treasures, strengthening Ancient Treasures also had to follow certain rules and required the corresponding base materials.

Considering the nature of these two Ancient Treasures, no matter how much he strengthened them, it wouldn’t produce anything extraordinary. At best, he could create a High-tier Heirloom that increased a large amount of Constitution or Strength. Such an item would be powerful under normal circumstances, but currently, it would not help his Incarnation break through the situation.

So-

After a moment of silence, he suddenly extended his right hand, and intricate rays of light converged into his palm. With a flash of an intangible wave, a sphere full of cracks appeared in his hand.

The shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System!

Rather than strengthening those useless Ancient Treasures, it would be better to take advantage of having enough Creation Energy on hand to repair this artifact.

After all, from the description of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, repairing it might yield better results than spending a massive amount of Creation Energy on other Ancient Treasures.

This Crystal Wall System’s Core had a total of sixteen cracks, and each required ten units of Creation Energy to repair. Previously, he thought this was an astronomical figure and wondered how long it would take to fix, hoping it might be done before Divine Enthronement. He had never expected his Incarnation to encounter such a fortune, gaining over four hundred units of

Creation Energy in one go—it was outrageous.

When he saw the vast amount of Creation Energy, he once wondered if Creation Energy had suddenly become worthless. Now it seemed that it was all because his Incarnation was risking his life, securing such a tremendous amount of Creation Energy through unexpected risks and adventures.

Opportunities always come with enormous risks, and now danger has arrived. Trapped there, his incarnation can neither run nor retreat; he can only wait for death.

To be strict, obtaining so much Creation Energy in one go was absolutely worth it for Lin Xiao. This visit to the Ruins of Myriad was definitely worth the cost of admission, even if he were to be eliminated immediately, it would not be a loss. Even if he gained nothing else from this trip to the Ruins of Myriad, just these few hundred units of Creation Energy were comparable to a Divine Treasure of

Myriad for him.

Well, it is what he considers to be the Divine Treasure of Myriad. It might not be as impactful as these few hundred units of Creation Energy, but that does not mean the Divine Treasure of Myriad is not valuable.

With a thought from Lin Xiao, myriad mysterious rays of light converged in front of the Divine Seat, quickly sketching out a phantom of the Creation Rubik’s Cube, which rapidly solidified.

He loosened his grip, and the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System fell into the Magic Cube, from which a burst of transparent flame gushed out through the gaps, burning brightly.

This shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System had a total of sixteen cracks, requiring one hundred sixty units and an uncertain amount of Creation Energy to repair. One hundred sixty units were for the fissures, but the damage to the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System was not limited to these sixteen cracks. The overall structure had numerous minor yet unruptured damages and slight deformations, inside and out, all of which needed to be repaired-one by _one—which was expected to be quite an energy drain.

For now, he diverted two hundred units of Creation Energy within the Magic Cube into a sea of Chaos Energy, the cracked shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System rose and sank within it. As his thoughts moved, Creation Energy quickly converged towards the center, forming a maelstrom of Chaos Energy.

As the Chaos Energy was infused, the cracks on the shell were filled, and it began to emanate an indescribably mysterious vibration.

Lin Xiao marveled once more at the wonders of Creation Energy. The Chaos Energy filled the cracks and under the influence of that mysterious vibe, the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System slowly began to change, the cracks healing and extending inward as if they were gradually mending.

As for the other minor damages on the shell, they were already repaired, and now it appeared smooth, with intricate patterns faintly visible upon it.

With each crack repaired, the aura emanating from the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System grew stronger, and a strange sensation spread from this core, unclear and indescribable. Lin Xiao could not understand it, but he had a strong premonition he couldn’t quite articulate.

However, when repairing the last two cracks, he was surprised to find that there was not enough Creation Energy left.

Two hundred units of Creation Energy were not enough.

With a feeling of surprise, he invested another twenty units of Creation Energy into those two cracks, watching them slowly heal, and then….

The surprise in Lin Xiao’s eyes deepened, as he could sense that all the cracks inside the Origin of the Crystal Wall System were fully repaired as well as the minor damages and slight deformations in the structural frame and internal texture. But the repair process was not yet complete; there was a piece of information-unclear whether it was from the Magic Cube or the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System’s Core-that came to him…

Or rather a premonition told him that the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System had been repaired, but he was now about to face a choice.

The first choice was to end the repair now, significantly enhancing the effect of the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System, and wait for a future time to gather enough Creation Energy to start the second phase of enhancement. The second choice was to continue with the repairs, taking advantage of the freshly activated state immediately after repair, and invest a full one hundred units of Creation Energy to relight the original Crystal Wall System’s Core that had faded within.

The two choices were not just about whether to invest one hundred units of Creation Energy or not, that wasn’t the point; the point was about the method of utilizing this extraordinary treasure.

If he chose the first option, it meant treating this Origin of the Crystal Wall System as a super god-level Heirloom, continuously investing Creation Energy to enhance it over time and potentially making it his Destiny God Artifact. Given the material and provenance of this object, theoretically, in the future, it could become a treasure comparable to the Destiny Clay Tablet of the Ferun Crystal Wall Universe or the Disc of Creation from the ancient legends of Primordial Chaos from China.

Regardless of the resources needed, this potential existed.

And the second choice was to rekindle the extinguished Origin Core within the shell of the Origin of the Crystal Wall System-an outcome of which he was unsure, as such a case had never been heard of or seen before.

The previous choice could reference the methods of the gods forging their Destiny God Artifacts, albeit with more resources and higher difficulty.

But for the second option, having neither heard of nor seen such a case, he also did not know what the outcome of such a choice would be.

Of course, though unknown, one could speculate that the second choice would likely be about reshaping the Crystal Wall System, creating a new Origin of the Crystal Wall System.

He didn’t know if this was the case, but he personally thought it could be possible.

If it were true, Lin Xiao was quite interested.

After all, if a complete Origin of the Crystal Wall System could indeed be reshaped, it could help someone with Powerful Divine Power breakthrough to achieve great divine power—the temptation was immense.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and made his choice.

A full one hundred units of Creation Energy were injected without hesitation, turning into bolts of lightning striking toward the Origin of the Crystal Wall System suspended at the center of the Magic Cube Space.

It was worth the attempt, whether it would succeed or not, because compared to a Super Divine Artifact, the prospect of potentially advancing to great divine power was far more alluring to him.

While both were treasures that any god would dream of, the latter was still more appealing to him.
