Chapter 587: Chapter 428: The Truth of History_2
This is a terrifying catastrophe.
The earth trembles, the sky roars, and one after another, floating mountains crash down from the heavens.
Blood is scattered across the land.
Numerous meteors, even more so, fall from the sky.
The mere silhouettes send shivers down Lu Yuan’s spine as he finds himself in an illusion… How big could these meteors be?
Possibly… as big as planets!
Smashing down from the cosmos like a blanket overhead, what could possibly survive?
Violent explosions, immensely fierce winds, accompanied by screams of despair and wails, the cataclysm is approaching!
“Could it be that we are to perish today…”
“What on earth is that?!”
The voices sound panicked as they curse loudly, running, but it’s all in vain.
Then, that age-worn voice spoke again: “I am the strongest myth of this epoch, they will not spare me, nor will they spare you… Death is trivial, but their greed is beyond what you can imagine… They want everything.”
“I regret it… I regret hiding in this small world.”
“I should have fought them long ago, but now… it’s too late, there are no more comrades, only us…”
The atmosphere on site is filled with silence.
“We must not give Pangu Continent to them, I must leave one more legacy to this world… We, can only fight with all our might.”
The world began to shake violently, a massive eye, slowly opened.
Lu Yuan is petrified, unable to discern what this creature is, because it… is simply too massive… Impossible to describe in words, even the opened eyeball is comparable to an ocean!
“You’re going to die! Not only will you die, but you will also…”
“Yes, I will die… but I’ve prepared a contingency plan… Sacrifice our magic treasures… create an extraordinary ability. I call it ‘Control’!”
“Once I die in battle, you… take control of my body.”
“That body will fight to the end, leaving a way out for you.”
Crying can be heard on site.
“…With one more ability in the world, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, who knows?” The voice sounded profoundly significant.
“Come, the ability of [Control]!”
Accompanied by a rainbow-like radiance, a treasure cauldron-like magic treasure shattered, transforming into an ideal rule of this world.
With a crisp “snap,” Lu Yuan awoke with a start.
This brief illusion disappeared swiftly…
Lu Yuan feels an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
Somewhat inexplicable, yet seeming to hold some profound message.
Lu Yuan takes a deep breath and ponders with furrowed brows for a long while, this must be a very ancient message, unclear from which epoch it came…
“Possibly from one of the earliest epochs… even predating the Gear Civilization, the Great Lai Empire…”
“Is the creature that recorded this information a [Demon]?”
“Or rather… the progenitor of the [Demons]?”
Because the scene was entirely different from the modern style, there were no robots, trains, ships, nor skyscrapers or other technological constructs.
It resembled more of an ancient scene…
And that [Demon] was ridiculously powerful, with an eye as vast as an ocean, truly towering, capable of punching through a planet!
In comparison, today’s [Demons] are as weak as dogs… Whether the Tree of Life, Frost Fog, Opium Poppy or Painted Skin, they’re all damn weak…
“A bunch of weaklings!” Lu Yuan sneered inwardly.
Additionally, could the “Greedy Demon God” grow to be as powerful as a [Demon]?
Lu Yuan… wasn’t quite sure.
Having witnessed that scene, he had become somewhat less confident.
If the “Epoch Disaster” was an enemy on a planetary scale, it wasn’t that Lu Yuan was being unduly modest; the “Greedy Demon God” really wouldn’t stand a chance… it would be crushed effortlessly.
“Such a ‘Demon God’ Phenomenon still lacks a genuine ‘Absolute Ability’.”
The absolute ability of a ‘Demon’ is ‘Undying’ and ‘Takeover’; the absolute ability of a ‘Demon’ is ‘Growth’ and ‘Magnification’; the absolute ability of a ‘Ghost’ is ‘Imperishability’ and ‘Eternal Movement’; the absolute ability of a ‘Monster’ is ‘Space Ability’.
The Four Great Calamities each have their own unique ultimate skills.
So what should be the absolute ability of the “Demon God”?
Lu Yuan had actually pondered over this as well.
The path he chose was ‘Enhancement’ and ‘Devouring’, capable of turning most abilities into his own, and strengthening them to the level of a Phenomenon.
The more abilities he possessed, the more formidable the effects of ‘Enhancement’ would be—this was fitting for the title ‘Greed’.
But the current ‘Enhancement’ is still not an absolute ability.
A true absolute ability can reach the pinnacle of a domain and achieve some inconceivable effect—once ‘Enhancement’ is activated, it would directly reach and even surpass the original limit!
He wasn’t able to do that yet.
“This path I’m on won’t be too bad, I just haven’t completed this Phenomenon yet,” Lu Yuan tightened his resolve and consoled himself, “I must finish the heart of the Greedy Demon God, as well as… other organs. Right now, it’s just a shell, I can’t be too hasty.”
“Also, there’s another piece of important information.”
“This unknown civilization sacrificed a certain magic treasure to create the ‘Control’ ability.”
“And the magic treasure… is actually… a myth.”
At this thought, Lu Yuan shared this piece of information with his classmate Conch in the Dream.
Conch tilted its little head, its curved eyebrows furrowed tightly: “The invention of the ‘Control’ ability, is it… to control a corpse?”
“So the ‘Painted Skin’ we have imprisoned, might be part of a corpse? Ah!”
This was too strange.
“It shouldn’t be a corpse…” Lu Yuan said, “What happened later is unknown but, like ‘Painted Skin’, types of ‘Demons’ are born in each Epoch, and they lack intelligence.”
“The one in the Illusion Realm, obviously has intelligence.”
“However, the ‘Control’ ability seems to have a particularly good effect on ‘Demon’ Phenomena. After all, it’s a secret trick handed down by the ancestors…”
Lu Yuan looked down at the green-faced and ferocious ‘Painted Skin’.
It was controlled with 400 Spirit Essence, isn’t that a backdoor?
“Another thing is the Mythical Level items… sacrificing ‘Myth’ can create Divine Skills… this information is quite key,” he said.
“If I end up creating rubbish Mythical Equipment in the future, I might as well just sacrifice it.”
Well, “Myth” level equipment is the most top-notch stuff of an Epoch.
Lu Yuan, a Child of Destiny, also exhausted his worth to create just one piece…
Using “Myth” to create new Divine Skills is not so unintelligible after all.
Lu Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead, making a realization: “Wait, I’ve found a way to strengthen the Greedy Demon God… I haven’t devoured enough Mythical Equipment!”
He solemnly said, “If sacrificing ‘Mythical Equipment’ can create brand new Divine Skills, continuously sacrificing equipment to create my own unique abilities, and if I integrate this feature into ‘Enhancement’ and ‘Devouring’, it will someday become an ‘Absolute Ability’.”
“By then, there will be one more Catastrophe Level phenomenon in the world!”
I, Old Lu, am truly a genius.
“You… you’re too greedy… how many more Mythical Equipment pieces can you forge? Wishful thinking.” Conch, amused by his grand plans, reached out and pinched Lu Yuan’s cheek, “By the way, Mr. Lu, when are you going to repay my money?”
“When have I ever owed you money?”
“When you were nurturing the ‘Chaos Essence Stone’.”
Lu Yuan remembered and wanted to deny it, suddenly pouncing like a starving tiger but deftly avoided by her agility.
They messed around in the Green Space for a while.
Honestly, in the Dream world, Lu Yuan really couldn’t catch her.
In the end, the girl deliberately exposed a flaw for Lu Yuan to catch her on purpose.
