I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

A sliver of hope, nothing more than a tiny speck.

There were too many variables in the future, dynamic changes could happen at any time, and only by doing everything humanly possible could they leave the rest up to fate.

"Bring our Treasure Vault No.1! Equip our warriors with it!" Governor Leon ordered.

"Governor?!" The generals were once again baffled.

Though Treasure Vault No.1 was merely a small box, it contained their most precious cultural relic—a green resin encapsulating a drop of "Mother Earth’s" blood.

For some reason, objects with cultural significance were more likely to become natural wonders the instant they entered the Pangu Continent.

Yet the order Governor Leon issued was so bizarre!

Bringing that box in, wouldn’t it mean direct loss?

"Mother Earth’s relic can better protect our warriors, allowing them to go further."

"Besides, taking some treasures will make it easier to trade…" Governor Leon sighed, "There’s no such thing as love without reason in this world; we currently have no bargaining chips. Taking a little bit in is also a negotiating asset."

"What if our warriors… can come out alive…"

It was a huge gamble!

Even these fierce Rize generals couldn’t help but lose their composure, feeling anxious within.

The suggestions Governor Leon made were wildly imaginative, but they often led down the right path.

But this time, they truly didn’t know whether it was right or wrong.

"Alas, take it with you… don’t mind this bit of wealth. Take it with you…" Leon stepped forward and embraced the warriors one by one, "Come back alive…"

A cloud of gray mist shrouded all the warriors.

They vanished, but the cart loaded with weapons didn’t disappear, and even a few backpacks equipped with heavy firepower were left in place.

All the Rize people couldn’t help but feel more despair; they didn’t know how to face the bleak future.

Pangu Continent. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After Lu Yuan had arranged his Tree of Life, he closed his eyes and patiently waited for a while.

That cold sensation grew stronger, and the feeling of being watched returned once more.

He didn’t want to recklessly use his "Different Space", even if theoretically [Monsters] weren’t too intelligent; it was good to keep some tricks up his sleeve.

Moreover, even if he activated the "Different Space", it wouldn’t mean much.

He couldn’t possibly live in Different Space forever…

Dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, and the cool breeze made his pores contract.

Waiting for the crisis was more terrifying than the crisis itself; any rustle in the tranquil jungle was amplified, and as time passed, Lu Yuan’s heartbeat quickened.

During the dead of night, the gray mist became thicker.

In just an instant, the sounds of insects drizzling down grew quieter.

Eventually, even the sound of the insects disappeared.

"Damn, why is it so dark, so quiet."

Lu Yuan involuntarily shook himself and lit an oil lamp nearby.

"The air temperature has dropped sharply, only 10 degrees," Old Cat said.

Lu Yuan stuffed a few pomegranates into his mouth.

He gave himself a buff of [Vitality State].

Then he called Old Wolf over to the light.

"Don’t run around."

The fuel for this oil lamp wasn’t Fire Lizard Fuel Crystal.

That stuff was too precious, not much of it was left, and Lu Yuan was reluctant to use it.

The fuel was extracted from the cones of mutated pine trees.

The oil from these pine cones not only was edible but also had very high heat, with flames that could reach 2000 degrees Celsius and were very long-lasting.

A small bowl of oil made into an oil lamp could burn for several hours.

It was considered a lower alternative to Fire Lizard Fuel.

Because he had successfully burned a "Demon" to death using fire, Lu Yuan carried quite a bit of pine oil this time, about seven hundred kilograms.

Most of it was stored in the Storage Space, with a small portion in his backpack.

The flickering flames appeared within a glass enclosure, lighting up a small area around it.

Lu Yuan took a rope and tied Old Wolf beside him.

Old Wolf became the only living thing beside him, continuously breathing out white misty breaths.

"You devil, it’s only you who is carefree."

"Life and death separations are the norm for you, being eaten by monsters seems no different from being eaten by tigers."

Suddenly, Lu Yuan’s Extraordinary Spark pulsed, sensing a bare naked gaze fixed on him.

He instinctively looked in a certain direction.

A shadow of no great size perched high on a tree branch.

It was the size of a baby, with a green body and five blood-red eyes that were open and oozing thick liquid with blood vessels clearly visible.

Despite his boldness, Lu Yuan tensed at the sight of this horror, for those eyes looked exactly like the moon, full of bloodshot veins and viscous fluid flowing down.

Even he was extra cautious in the face of this terrifying anomaly.

"Is this the main body of the [Monster]? "

"This ghost thing’s ability is likely related to eyes… for now, I’ll use the third eye on the mask to observe it," he said.

He pulled a dart from his waistband and threw it with a "whoosh", only to find that the small shadow dodged with great agility and disappeared into the mist.

The next moment, the shadow directly appeared on Old Wolf’s back.

"Howl?" Old Wolf got the fright of his life and unhesitatingly bolted.

It leapt high like a startled stallion, trying to shake off the thing on its back.

"Die!" A cold murderous aura flowed out from Lu Yuan’s body.

With a fierce chop kick, he kicked at the monster on Old Wolf’s buttocks.

The baby-sized shadow, seeming to know the ferocity of the kick, moved with unbelievable speed; it bounced high off Old Wolf’s back and lunged for Lu Yuan’s face.

The Donkey-headed Monster’s mask has the ability of a "Third Eye."

Lu Yuan, with his eyes closed, could still clearly see what this thing really was...

A very strange creature, radiating coldness, with a slightly elongated bony head and grayish-green scaly skin—it looked a bit like the lizard men in the square.

The ghastly thing extended its slender arms, which had countless eyes on them—perhaps as many as twenty at a glance.

"[Unknown life form, further investigation is needed to obtain more detailed information.]

Lu Yuan roared and a "Light Screen" burst forth from his body; the black longsword cleaved horizontally at the monster.

Roar!

The friction between the sword and the air created a brilliant red light.

This was the application of a Level Three Extraordinary Spark technique.

By covering the weapon with the "Light Screen," it could inflict Idealism damage on some weird creatures.

Facing the whistling red light, the shadow shot backward in the air.

Lu Yuan’s swing missed, and the next moment, a frigid power bound him, making him feel as if he’d fallen into an ice cave.

A strange force eroded him starting from his eyes.

A shadowy feeling emerged in Lu Yuan’s heart.

He felt his subconscious filled with the eyes of creatures.

Rotted creatures densely covered the earth, and string-like things moved like leeches.

In utter silence, the most terrifying thing was those eyes—the eyes of animals, ants, birds, butterflies, and even bacteria...

All staring over!

"Ah!!"

Veins on his face bulged as he violently bit the tip of his tongue, a hot taste of blood surging into his nostrils.

With the effect of the Extraordinary Spark, he broke free from the mental assault.

From the eyeholes of the Donkey Head Mask, a magma-like light burst out, and Lu Yuan let out an earth-shattering roar.

Spiritual shock!

This was an innate ability of the Donkey Head Mask.

"Wa gaga!" The shadow screamed and fell out of mid-air.

Long rainbow!

The red-glowing longsword whistled out once more.

The shadow stepped on the air and leapt backward again... This gravity control ability was clearly a Divine Skill.

Lu Yuan, taking a deep breath, raised his longsword and slashed forward, his body radiating intense red light.

But the shadow was unnaturally agile, as if it were flying through the air.

Lu Yuan relentlessly pursued.

Bang! Bang!

The nearby trees were chopped down immediately.

"Swoosh!" A cold dart suddenly shot through the darkness.

It was a dart spat out by Old Cat from its mouth, a mechanism specially crafted inside its body by Lu Yuan—not very powerful, but effective for a surprise attack.

The shadow stiffened after being hit by the dart.

Lu Yuan leaped forward and struck.

He decisively cleaved the shadow in half, and a large amount of blood poured out.

Soon, the gray-green creature lay on the ground motionless.

Lu Yuan, frowning, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The battle in the blink of an eye, the line between life and death, was really slim.

"That’s it? Now I can kill a calamity in just 3 seconds?" Lu Yuan was somewhat incredulous, "Compared to demons, this thing is like a kindergarten baby... and it was even affected by the spiritual shock?"

"Comrade, you’re wrong," Old Cat, having observed the whole process, said solemnly, "You just killed something like a clone."

"Although a ’[Monster]’ can die, its ability is Different Space, just like a demon’s ability, there must be a takeover."

"So I don’t believe that it would die so easily..."

Squeezing his nose, Lu Yuan said, "Well, I don’t believe it either, because I haven’t completed the Milestone..."

Walking forward, he found a stick and poked through the corpse for a while.

This gray-green corpse really seemed like a normal life form, except that it had more eyes on its body.

Whether in its intestines or throat, all were eyes, a string of eyeballs like a bunch of grapes.

These ghastly things seemed to still be alive, focusing their gaze entirely on Lu Yuan, staring fixedly.

Lu Yuan, expressionless, poked all of them until they burst.

Just then, Pioneer’s Eye provided more information: "[Suspected juvenile of some civilization, invaded by some Idealism Power, turned into its current form.]

Enjoy new adventures from empire

"[But obviously, it’s not the actual body of the ’[Monster].’ It is a servant controlled by the ’[Monster].’]

"[Attribute: ??? (Deceased)]

"[Abilities: Gravity Control, Swift Flash, Spiritual Spike]

"[Extraordinary Level: 1 Technique.]

It actually had three abilities!
