I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 711 - 529: The True Foundation of Lu Yuan

This news immediately stirred everyone up; their eyes lit up, as if they had spotted a precious piece of jade.

They had known for a while that this kid was hiding something substantial, and now he finally decided to take it out.

After waiting for half an hour, Jin Bote concluded his speech, stepped out of the room, looked at Lu Yuan, and bowed slightly: “Thank you, Commander Lu, for this opportunity to speak.”

Lu Yuan replied, “You should also join us to check out our foundation. From now on, we’re allies in both attack and defense, no need to be reserved.”

“Exactly, kid. Humans are begging you to take on the monsters, what’s to fear?” The Old Snake Man urged.

Jin Bote chuckled awkwardly twice.

Although he felt somewhat unwilling to become part of an abnormal civilization, he had no choice but to succumb to reality.

Eight of them boarded the rail train and arrived at a building fully black in color.

This building was 200 meters tall, with walls made from materials resistant to the Ideal Rules. It was built at an exorbitant cost, and was guarded entirely by the Insect Race army. Not a single human soldier was stationed nearby.

In fact, this was the Insect Race’s territory.

“Are these insects your foundation? It’s decent, I guess, like frosting on the cake.” The Old Strangers scrutinized the dormant Leviathan and Mammoth.

Anomaly “Insects” would be considered a calamity of extinction by ordinary civilizations.

But to Fourth-level and Fifth-level civilizations, they were merely resources. Only the Rift Worm Clan near the Underground Alliance posed a notable threat—otherwise, they really couldn’t be considered anything extraordinary.

“No, these insects belong to my wife; I’m merely managing them for her.” Lu Yuan shamelessly added, “They’ve accompanied us through many tough times.”

“Please, everyone, come inside.”

Upon entering the building’s door, everyone’s pupils dilated at the sight of a hundred-meter-long dark horn, emanating a mysterious glow.

This horn stood solidly in the center of the hall, like a towering pillar.

As they approached it, an invisible radiance repelled them back.

“This… foundation? Hmm, it looks decent enough…” The Crystal Man examined it for a few moments, utilizing his identification ability.

Immortal level!

The Strangers appeared greatly intrigued, occasionally trying to touch it, only to be rebounded by the invisible pressure.

It’s worth noting that the world did not have natural mythical-level materials.

Thus, Immortal-level natural wonders were already the pinnacle of the world!

This Ancient Insect Horn was indeed incredibly remarkable; even in Fifth-level and Sixth-level civilizations, it was an incredibly rare and precious material, typically valued by sheer “luck” alone.

“Seniors, how much luck would this be worth?” Lu Yuan patted the thick, black object.

“Goodness, I think it’s worth over a thousand luck! If someone crafted mythical equipment requiring this material, it might fetch an even higher value.” The Armored Stranger drooled, “This thing is unbreakable and brimming with abundant earth attributes; it could be used for gear like earth escape tools or offensive weapons.”

Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Valued at a thousand? That meant he’d earn an easy hundred luck!

He truly owed the Ancient Insect a major favor.

“It seems the energy inside is already depleted… Could this item’s one-time explosion have dismembered the Snake-Man Ghost?”

“Indeed, it originated from an ancient myth—the Ancient Worm.” Lu Yuan explained, “Without this ally, I would’ve been entangled with that Ghost for a very long time.”

“Ancient Worm… never heard of it? An ancient myth, huh…”

The Strangers glanced suspiciously at Lu Yuan—how come this guy seemed to know quite a few ancient Old Dengs?

This dense horn had only been excavated by the Insect army not long ago. Lu Yuan lacked any forging inspiration for the time being, so he temporarily displayed it here.

“But what I meant by foundation isn’t this thing…”

Everyone’s gluttonous curiosity was fully stirred now. A thousand-luck Immortal material was already an incredible foundation, yet it wasn’t even what Lu Yuan wanted to showcase.

This indicated that the kid’s hidden cards might be even more extraordinary than imagined.

Lu Yuan made a thought movement, summoning a ten-meter-tall Greedy Demon God from a large room.

“This puppet… is this your created myth?”

“Yes, Seniors, please take a look.” As the saying goes, “Seeing for oneself is better than hearing from others.” The Strangers had been eager to witness what kind of creation could battle against a Ghost. Lu Yuan, miserly as ever, had finally decided to unveil it today.

The Armored Stranger was particularly interested as he was a master craftsman in his past, having forged Immortal-level gear, nearly reaching the mythical tier.

The armor he wore had been shining brilliantly for tens of thousands of years.

Of course, despite his phenomenal craftsmanship, he couldn’t fully grasp the profundity of the Greedy Demon God.

The Strangers attempted to flaunt their discernment but ultimately admitted defeat, shaking their heads in resignation.

After all, Innate Engravings were a process of creation from nothingness, something only its creator could comprehend—passing it on to others was nearly impossible.

The Armored Warrior remarked, “It’s clear that this mythical puppet follows the path of an anomaly… it’s approaching the essence of a true life form.”

“What a pity, though. Your creation isn’t fully perfected yet. If you crafted all its organs, future epochs might naturally give rise to similar anomalies.”

“Pangu Continent is wondrous like that—once you create a rule within the Ideal framework, it remains long-lasting… accessible by all life forms.”

“Those who inadvertently align with the rule become natural anomalies.”

“The more intricate the rule, however, the fewer anomalies it births.”

Lu Yuan had heard of such theories before, and curiously asked, “Does that mean many of the Demons and Ghosts were naturally born anomalies?”

“Not exactly. It’s quite rare for Pangu Continent to birth catastrophe-level anomalies—their rules are far too complex.”

“But yes, some catastrophes do seem to emerge out of nowhere…”

As the Strangers began to reveal more, they stopped abruptly, unwilling to continue the discussion.

Lu Yuan’s thoughts stirred—could certain catastrophes originate elsewhere?

Only Prince Jin Bote, who understood little, stood silently by, feeling like a child in kindergarten. Every sentence he overheard required long contemplation before grasping its meaning.

Once he unraveled the hidden implications, he was struck internally by a faint sense of awe.

He glanced around curiously, even sniffing the Ancient Insect Horn—which emitted a wholesome aroma akin to agarwood.

Actually, the surrounding Insect army already left him with an underlying fear.

Each insect was Level Eight or Nine, exuding an icy killing intent. The most formidable Worm King was already a Level Ten life form!

Such elite insect warriors weren’t even considered a civilization’s foundation?!

The Ancient Insect Horn wasn’t either.

He increasingly felt that the extinction of his family’s Lanpeng Civilization was inevitable.

What was humanity’s strength compared to his Lanpeng Civilization’s strength?

“What is this anomaly’s name?” The Armored Stranger asked.

“Greedy Demon God.” Lu Yuan replied.

Everyone fell silent for several seconds. That name… no wonder you’re so stingy.

However, the title “Demon God” did sound quite grand, carrying its own weight.

“What’s the concept behind its creation and its specific functionality?”

Lu Yuan hesitated briefly, but since he had decided to trust these individuals, he saw no reason to hide: “Greedy Demon God can enhance and amplify existing extraordinary abilities, elevating human-level abilities to anomaly-level capabilities.”

“The more abilities, the greater its super combat power.”

The Strangers began whispering amongst themselves.

“Abilities are never too many—it’s indeed a form of greed.”

Jin Bote remained silent, unable to interject into the conversation.

After quite some time, the Armored Warrior said, “This enhancement amplification functionality is already powerful, but if it’s meant to complete more difficult battles… it’s still not strong enough.”

Lu Yuan frowned. “Why? What are you suggesting?”

Despite their limited understanding of the Greedy Demon God, the Strangers immediately presented this notion, which made Lu Yuan quite dissatisfied.

But the Old Dengs wouldn’t be careless about significant matters.

“Intuitively, it just doesn’t seem sufficient,” the Armored Warrior explained. “If the first feeling says it’s not enough, then it truly isn’t enough.”

“Jin Bote, what do you think? Can this enhancement amplification ability defeat the Ghost?”

Jin Bote was startled: “How… could I possibly know?”

“Instinct! Just tell me your instinct! Without analyzing any other information, judge solely based on the ability itself.”

“Uh… it can’t win. The Ghost is simply too powerful, with its undying ability.”

Lu Yuan’s hairs stood on end, feeling a bit indignant. How could they assess the potential of the Greedy Demon God merely based on its name?!

He had labored tirelessly throughout his life to achieve these results, only to have them dismissed due to a “title lacking grandeur.”

This left him somewhat irked.

The Old Snake Man seemed to sense his emotions and consoled him: “Lu Yuan, you need to believe in mysticism. Don’t think we’re deliberately disparaging you.”

“The Ghost’s absolute ability is ‘undying.’ Does your ‘enhancement amplification’ have what it takes to overcome ‘undying’?”
