Chapter 1365: The Egg

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Damn it, Mafa Merlin knows that there’s nothing I can do about the stone pillars. If I continue hoarding the stone pillars, the resources out there will probably all be excavated.

If I give away this place, Mafa Merlin will have all the stone pillars, but I will surely find a lot of rare resources outside. Mafa Merlin has taken all his 1,000 alchemy puppets here, so a lot of the mines must be empty…

Dalton thought for a moment. He wouldn’t be able to get anything if he stayed here. If he gave the place away, he might get something. So, he should probably leave, although he was reluctant…

“Sir Merlin, you misunderstood me. There’s nothing I can do about the pillars. If you want to try your luck, go ahead. We’ve made an agreement that whoever is capable of taking away what they find will keep it…”

Dalton decisively left with the men of the Holy Light Alliance for the excavation of ores. However, after flying for a circle, he discovered that the most resource-rich places nearby had all been claimed by the three forces. There were only empty mines further away.

When he saw that at least 5,000 alchemy puppets were active in the mines that Lin Yun occupied, he almost vomited blood.

At the beginning, he only saw 1,000 alchemy puppets. He didn’t notice it when Lin Yun deployed more mining puppets. There were already more than 5,000 of them at this moment. Lin Yun had more puppets, but the mines could only accommodate 5,000 puppets at most. If more were deployed, the mining efficiency would only be lowered.

It meant that the 1,000 alchemy puppets that Lin Yun brought with him were just a trick.

Infuriated, Dalton planned to go back to Lin Yun and question him. However, he held back his fury. In only several minutes, he had seen that the alchemy puppets dug out a lot of materials. If he wasted more time, there would be nothing left…

Lin Yun plucked the King’s Pillars on the empty ground one after another. He was a bit surprised that Dalton didn’t come back for him.

While Dalton gritted his teeth, and excavated ores at the periphery, Lin Yun grinned and plucked the King’s Pillars in the center.

There were 72 King’s Pillars. It was said that when all of them were gathered, they would grant a powerful ability. An expert who had a Natural Demiplane once obtained a few King’s Pillars, which benefited the development of his Natural Demiplane. However, Lin Yun didn’t know the specific benefits.

As time went by, more and more ores were collected, and Lin Yun plucked the King’s Pillars faster and faster. The 24 King’s Pillars here all had few records. It took a lot more time to pluck them than it did before. He had to try many times before he succeeded.

The moment Lin Yun drew the last King’s Pillar out, the relics suddenly changed significantly.

The space in the relics that had been cut into many sections began to ripple. The abnormal space became normal all of a sudden, and the world turned into a circular one. The broad desolate plain was at the edge, the barren mountains that stretched across hundreds of kilometers were the interior, and in the very center was the round empty ground that was in the heart of the mountains.

When all the King’s Pillars were removed, a horrifying power arose from the center. Tides of energy spread out from the center like ripples.

Lin Yun, who was still in the center, was pushed away by the energy tides immediately. More than 95% of the law runes on his fusion shield were glittering. He would’ve been torn into shreds if he hadn’t dodged quickly enough.

Lin Yun escaped, but the 1,000 mining puppets that had attempted to dig down were all shredded. All of them were reduced to parts instantly. Then, the parts were squeezed and deformed into unrecognizable smithereens when the tides of energy spread out.

What happened in the center shocked everybody. Even Lin Yun didn’t see it coming.

The 24 King’s Pillars in the center were meant for defense. In the very center, whatever needed protection was gone, and the King’s Pillars were no longer effective. However, the accident happened.

As the tides of energy spread out, a glittering egg that was more than five meters tall appeared in the center. There were weird patterns, and even words that gods used, on the surface of the egg. They flowed slowly on the surface of the egg, which was absorbing the gray mist. There was even a gray halo that enshrouded the egg. That was the power of the gods…

“A reborn god! Damn it, this is a reborn god! A god has been reborn in this place! Oh my god! It’s a god that’s not fully reborn yet!”

Dalton shrieked and ran close, staring at the egg in the center. The greed in his eyes was undisguised. Not just Dalton, the greed in Dalton’s and Levis’ eyes made them look more terrifying than a devil overlord.

They all knew what a god that hadn’t been completely reborn meant…

The rebirth of a god meant a fresh start. It was like a young beast that hadn’t been born. As long as they found a way to contract or control it, they would be commanding the reborn god!

Even if the reborn god couldn’t be controlled, if someone got along with him the moment he opened his eyes, or even before he was reborn, the reborn god would be biased towards him after being born.

Every reborn god was destined to ignite the God Fire—hundreds of times faster than human mages could, at that. For the strongest human mages who had a chance to ignite the God Fire, it took them thousands of years on average to do that since they became Magic Apprentices.

In the history of Noscent, the fastest person who reached the peak of the Heaven Rank from a Magic Apprentice finished the quest in only 100 years, but the fastest one to ignite the God Fire spent more than 1,000 years!

There were only a fixed number of human beings who had ever ignited the God Fire. But as for reborn gods, as long as they were reborn successfully, it would only take them several decades for them to ignite the God Fire after they were born.

In only a few decades, they would have an expert who had ignited the God Fire in their organization, not just one who surpassed the Heaven Rank. Even the most stupid man should be aware of the significance.

A reborn god and the god himself were completely different…

Everybody looked at the egg greedily, but Lin Yun put on an awful expression.

He figured out everything that didn’t make sense. He had underestimated the 73rd God’s caution and wisdom.

The relics were truly the place of the 73rd God rebirth. However, he hadn’t been reborn yet.

For such a long time, there was no sign of him in Noscent or the underground world. The only lead was the relics.

That was highly unusual, or downright impossible. The 73rd God had to leave some traces after he was reborn. As long as he attempted to regain his strength, he couldn’t have left no traces at all.

After entering the relics, finding the King’s Pillars, and tracking them down to the empty ground in the center, Lin Yun thought that the 73rd God had been successfully reborn and left. He tried many ways, but didn’t find any other traces. All phenomena and leads suggested that the reborn 73rd God was no longer here…

But at this moment, Lin Yun finally figured out why.

The previous King’s Pillars were indeed meant to keep the place a secret. However, the last 24 King’s Pillars, which were the most powerful, were not meant for defense, but purely for concealment, at the cost of abandoning any defense!
