Chapter 585: line with translation of chapter title

I won't let you work for nothing; if you can help me find the way out, I'll give you a perfect supreme divine artifact and a fifth‑tier treasure. said the Storm God.

Translation: "I won't let you work for nothing; as long as you can help me find the way out, I can give you a Perfect Main God Artifact, plus a 5th-rank Supreme Treasure." said the Storm Main God.

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese uses 「」 for speech. In English we can use double quotes. We'll output: "I won't let you work for nothing; as long as you can help me find the way out, I can give you a Perfect Main God Artifact, plus a 5th-rank Supreme Treasure." said the Storm Main God.

Make sure it's one line.

The perfect supreme divine artifact and the fifth‑tier treasure are indeed a tempting offer.

Translation: The Perfect Main God Artifact and the 5th-rank Supreme Treasure are indeed a tempting offer.

But if you have the strength to break into those heavenly battlefields and ancient ruins, you probably wouldn't need treasures of this level anymore, right?

Translation: But if one had the strength to storm those ancient ruins in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, they probably wouldn't need treasures of this level anymore, right?

Xiao Feng was about to refuse, but the Storm God added: "If I can use this chance to leave this world and return to my homeland, I will give you all my wealth here. It includes a sixth‑tier treasure, a pure and rich primordial spirit energy, and… the entire treasury of this divine kingdom!"

Translation: Xiao Feng was about to refuse when the Storm Main God said again: "If I can use this opportunity to leave this world and return to my homeland, I can give you all my wealth here. It includes a 6th-rank Supreme Treasure, a portion of pure, rich Primordial Spiritual Energy, and... the entire treasury of this God Kingdom!"

This condition is much better than the previous one.

Translation: This condition is much better than the previous one.

A sixth‑tier treasure is only one rank below the Chaos Tree, putting it on par with a "perfect supreme divine artifact"—surely it's very powerful.

Translation: A 6th-rank Supreme Treasure is only one tier below the Chaos Tree, putting it on par with a Perfect Main God Artifact—surely very powerful.

And there's the entire divine kingdom's treasury!

Translation: And there's also the entire treasury of the God Kingdom!

The Storm Divine Kingdom isn't a tiny war‑god state constantly on the brink of bankruptcy; for ten thousand years it has flourished immensely, with countless experts and astonishing wealth.

Translation: The Storm God Kingdom is not some tiny War God Kingdom perpetually on the brink of bankruptcy; for ten thousand years it has flourished immensely, with countless experts and astonishing wealth.

The value of a treasury, conservatively estimated, is at least hundreds of billions of divine stones, possibly even several trillion!

Translation: The value of a treasury, conservatively estimated, is at least hundreds of billions of Divine Stones, possibly even several trillion!

However, Xiao Feng didn't immediately agree; instead he asked: "How can you be sure this method will let you leave? What if it fails? And what exactly is this primordial spirit energy you mentioned?"

Translation: However, Xiao Feng didn't directly agree but asked: "How do you know this method will help you leave? What if it fails? And what exactly is this Primordial Spiritual Energy you mentioned?"

The Storm God replied: "I don't have absolute certainty, but aside from this method I have no other way. Over more than ten thousand years I've thought of every possible solution and tried every avenue, even exiling myself to another dimension hoping to drift back to the real world, but it was useless. You are a powerful adventurer with potential far greater than mine; I believe you will surely bring me a surprise."

Translation: The Storm Main God said: "I indeed have no absolute certainty, but aside from this method, I have no other way. Over ten thousand years, I've thought of every plan I could, tried every path I could, even exiled myself to another dimension hoping to drift back to the real world, but it was useless. You are a powerful adventurer with potential even greater than mine; I believe you can definitely bring me a surprise!"

He continued: "As for the primordial spirit energy… it is a treasure produced in some forbidden zones of the heavenly battlefields, said to be the essence of the ancient world left after the creation of heaven and earth. It can help one suddenly grasp the power of laws and penetrate a certain path. Simply put, it increases the chances of reaching the supreme‑god level or god‑king level."

Translation: He continued: "As for the Primordial Spiritual Energy... this item is produced in some forbidden lands of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; it is said to be the essence of the primordial world left after the creation of heaven and earth, helping one suddenly grasp the power of laws and penetrate a certain Dao. Simply put, it increases the odds of reaching Main God Level and God King Level."

Xiao Feng listened and gave a slight nod.

Translation: Xiao Feng listened and nodded slightly.

His words seem fairly sincere; he must truly be out of options to seek his help.

Translation: This guy's words are relatively sincere; he must truly be out of options to seek his help.

If this method doesn't work, then he'll just be stuck forever in the game world.

Translation: If this method doesn't work, then this guy will just remain stuck in the game world forever.

Although… the game world doesn't seem so bad either.

Translation: Although... the game world doesn't seem so bad either.

's.

Speaking of primordial spiritual energy, it's actually a good thing; it will be of great use when breaking through to the god level later.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "Looking at how pitiful you are, I can try my best to help you with this, but I'm not sure I can definitely do it; if I fail, don't blame me."

"Thank you, Warrior Xiao Feng!" the Storm God said gratefully.

"Hey, what's with all the thanks? If you really want to thank me, give me some primordial spiritual energy to play with first." Xiao Feng gave a hehe laugh and said with his expression.

The Storm God's expression stiffened slightly: "This... your strength is still quite far from the god threshold; giving you primordial spiritual energy probably wouldn't be useful, and would instead waste a treasure. In my opinion... I'd rather give you a Supreme Treasure as a deposit."

"Oh? What kind of Supreme Treasure?" Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

This is a benefit of advance payment; even if the task isn't completed, it doesn't need to be returned!

The Storm God flipped his left hand, taking out a bluish-green object from his storage space and handing it to him.

He introduced, saying: "This is the eggshell of the Sun-Devouring Demonic Light Peacock, a rank-2 Supreme Treasure; after infusing divine power, it can form a barrier that conceals your aura and traces. Without god-level strength, one cannot detect you. Even a god, if not vigilant, might overlook it."

Egg, eggshell?

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

Upon closer inspection, this thing really is an eggshell, and just a small piece!

It's about the size of a palm, with little curvature, relatively flat; when complete it would likely be over half a meter in size, the exterior is bluish-green, the interior black.

Looking at the information, it is indeed a rank-2 Supreme Treasure, and its effect is exactly as the Storm God said.

When activated, it consumes 200 points of divine essence per second; over time, that's a significant drain.

Xiao Feng received the 【Sun-Devouring Demonic Light Peacock Eggshell Fragment】 and stored it in his backpack.

Then, somewhat curiously, he asked: "Storm God, you have both an eggshell and a peacock feather fan; could it be that you once robbed a mighty peacock deity?"

The Storm God gave an embarrassed laugh, shaking his head repeatedly: "I don't have that capability... the Sun-Devouring Demonic Light Peacock is a cosmic-level creature, feeding on the sun and moon, its divine form immeasurable. Using your adventurers' way of speaking,

Calculate, it's at least level 2000. I merely got lucky finding a discarded nest of the Sun-Devouring Demonic Light Peacock on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, obtaining a fledgling's feather and a broken eggshell fragment. Um... to be frank, of this fan I hold, only one feather is a genuine treasure; the rest are fake.

"Holy crap, level 2000?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in shock.

Feeding on the sun and moon, devouring stars, that peacock... this is too terrifying!

No wonder a fragment of its eggshell is a rank-2 Supreme Treasure; its true form's power must be world-shaking, a single flap of its wings likely turning the entire divine realm into dust!

"Myriad Heavens Battlefield... are there many such monsters?" Xiao Feng asked cautiously.

The Storm God decisively nodded: "Many! At least dozens surely exist!"

Xiao Feng: ……

What the hell are we still playing for!

Just a shake of its wings and heaven and earth collapse; even if there were ten billion 300-level players, they still wouldn't be enough to kill it!

"But..."

At this point, the Storm God shifted his tone and said: "Such powerhouses rarely appear; they usually dwell in life-forbidden zones, contemplating cosmic rules and seeking ways to break the shackles of life. As long as you don't tread into their secret cultivation grounds, you won't encounter danger."

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He then immediately asked: "Compared to the Sun-Devouring Demonic Light Peacock-level powerhouses, which is stronger, those real-world powerhouses you asked me to find?"

The Storm God said: "Probably... about the same."

Xiao Feng: ……

Great! Very good!

As expected, it's a mission to send him to his death!

The Storm God continued: "These two still have some differences; those said to come from the real world only appear in the core areas of ancient ruins. Meanwhile, the most terrifying fiends between heaven and earth are all found in unknown, secret life-forbidden zones. If you encounter some ancient architectural ruins, broken Xian Shan, etc., that's likely the former. Whereas if you step into some lifeless, dead silent places, that's likely the latter."

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

Is there a difference?

It's all just death anyway!
