Chapter 3697

Many years ago, ever since being sealed into the Golden Balance, the Molten Gold Demon's consciousness fell into chaos, but the hatred hidden in its consciousness made it gradually recover its consciousness and realize that it was being sealed in an object.

For such a situation, the Molten Gold Demon had no intention of giving up at all, but slowly absorbed energy from the void to recover itself through its own original capability. As long as there was space, it could connect its consciousness to the void. No matter how closed the environment was, it could not stop it.

Containing anger and hatred toward the Silintis Dwarves in its heart, the Molten Gold Demon in the Golden Balance absorbed energy day after day to recover itself. During this period, the Golden Balance was held by the Demon Race, worshipped by Soul Ghosts, and also obtained by a world traveler. Finally, because of death, it was lost in a certain native world.

Just like this, the Molten Gold Demon accumulated and endured day after day, until one day, the Golden Balance was obtained by a contractor again. The Molten Gold Demon sealed in the balance learned a piece of news that shocked it—the Law-Extinguishing era had ended, and the Silintis Dwarves had been exterminated.

Ask, what is the most painful thing? The enemy is too strong to take revenge? Not really, it's that the enemy was suddenly exterminated, and this matter had nothing to do with itself, and even the enemy it hated day and night had forgotten its existence.

This made the Molten Gold Demon rarely depressed and gloomy for a few days, but subsequently, it put all its energy into escaping. Time passed like this, until many years later, the Golden Balance was obtained by a contractor. Because he didn't need this thing, he sold it to Reincarnation Paradise.

At that time, the Molten Gold Demon was only one step away from escaping, but it was this one step that was exceptionally out of reach.

The moment it was sold to Reincarnation Paradise and received free notarization, the Molten Gold Demon's only feeling was that it was over. This time it was completely over, without half a qualification to break free or resist.

Even so, the tenacious Molten Gold Demon brother still didn't give up, but it soon discovered that its proud original capability had no effect at all in the Overlord equipment storage of Reincarnation Paradise. It couldn't connect to the void at all, meaning it couldn't absorb natural energy.

Just like this, Molten Gold Demon brother began a long wait in a lonely darkness. Unable to recover itself, meaning unable to enter a cultivation state, a few years of dark loneliness changed Molten Gold Demon brother's mentality. It was not that Molten Gold Demon brother's willpower was not firm, but in the Overlord equipment storage of Reincarnation Paradise, the concept of time was stagnant, and it couldn't tell if a second or billions of years had passed.

Just like this, Molten Gold Demon brother changed from an aloof and cruel Overlord Demon God to a slightly neurotic, arrogant, and violent one. Because of the long-term confinement, this brother changed from being aloof to being particularly talkative, wishing to catch a living thing and talk for days and nights.

Just when Molten Gold Demon brother was about to fail to persist and wanted to give up thinking, Su Xiao performed a random exchange with Overlord Essence, and exchanged the Golden Balance out of the Overlord equipment storage of Reincarnation Paradise.

At that moment, Molten Gold Demon brother was moved. It suddenly decided that if possible, helping the person who helped it escape to become stronger seemed like a good choice. With its knowledge and former strength tier, this was not arrogance. How could it be, Molten Gold Demon brother looked closely and found that the person who exchanged the Golden Balance seemed a bit wrong. This seemed to be... a Law-Extinguisher?!

After discovering this, Molten Gold Demon brother was so angry that it almost couldn't catch its breath. When it was smelted into gold water by the Silintis Dwarves, it was actually just the second episode of the story. There was an episode before it, which was that several young Law-Extinguishers pulled it out of the volcano. Among them, three young Law-Extinguishers, named Marvin Waltz and Green Gillian, surrounded it and kicked it. Molten Gold Demon brother just didn't submit.

Old hatred surged into its heart. Molten Gold Demon brother's initial thought was, Law-Extinguisher, you wait for me.

However, this thought didn't appear for too long before the Molten Gold Demon discovered another problem, which was that Su Xiao's strength improvement speed was too fast, so fast that when it escaped, it was not sure it could defeat Su Xiao at that time.

However, Molten Gold Demon brother quickly regained confidence. After all, its original strength tier was high. Now, even if its strength had severely declined, could it be afraid of a Law-Extinguisher in the growth period? Simply a joke.

Through Molten Gold Demon brother's unremitting efforts, finally, its combat power was about to be caught up by Su Xiao. Molten Gold Demon brother hesitated, which was whether to treat the past as if it had never happened. It was all old accounts. It was not that it was afraid it couldn't beat this Law-Extinguisher after escaping, but that it was broad-minded. Hmm, that's it.

Holding this thought, Molten Gold Demon brother was about to escape, and then because of the aura fluctuation caused by the imminent escape, the feeling the Golden Balance gave people changed slightly, and was thus detected by Su Xiao.

Assuming the Molten Gold Demon was previously sealed in a wooden bucket, then congratulations to Molten Gold Demon brother for changing into a super-strength alloy bucket.

"So, this is the reason for your silent hiding and preparing to wait for an opportunity to escape. Did we misunderstand you?"

Baha stared at the black sealing ball in front, speaking with a hint of disbelief.

"That's right, the grudge between me and the Law-Extinguisher has long dissipated with time."

Speaking to this point, the Molten Gold Demon also sighed with emotion.

"..."

Su Xiao, Baha, and Caesar looked at each other, not believing the Molten Gold Demon's words.

"Actually, I have always been prepared to repay your kindness for helping me escape. It's just that you are a Law-Extinguisher. But now these are not important. Tell me, what requirements do you have? As long as it is a question about knowledge and experience, I can answer it, just as a repayment for you helping me escape before."

The Molten Gold Demon's tone was very sincere. After Su Xiao pondered for a few seconds, he asked:

"I am very interested in pharmacy. If you can provide knowledge in this area, I can open this seal."

"Pharmacy, hahaha, to tell you the truth, before being sealed, I also had some achievements in this area."

Hearing this, Su Xiao looked a bit surprised. He took the sealed object and walked upstairs quickly. After arriving at the pharmacy room on the fourth floor, he placed the sealed object on the table and temporarily closed the black obstruction of the sealed object, allowing the Molten Gold Demon inside to see the scene outside.

Regarding pharmacy knowledge, Caesar naturally came along. At this moment, he was listening intently on the side, and Bubu Wang, Baha, and Xian Lulu were gathered around to watch the fun.

The Molten Gold Demon said sternly: "During the time I was sealed, I could only see part of the scene outside when you used the Golden Balance, so I paid more attention to how your strength was. As for your level in pharmacy, don't be restrained, tell me what level you are at now."

A moment later, the Molten Gold Demon coughed and said: "Your attainments in pharmacy are still... not bad. Let's change the topic. Do you have any other knowledge you are interested in?"

"Sealing studies."

"..."

Molten Gold Demon brother suddenly fell silent. Just now, he pointed out Su Xiao's pharmacy. The more he pointed out, the more confused he became. Sometimes there would be situations like, oh~, it turns out that such a profound formula is so simple to understand.

"I mean, besides pharmacy and sealing studies, you have no other knowledge you are interested in?!"

Molten Gold Demon brother's tone seemed a bit crazy.

"Not for now. I have the Library Badge of the Soul Library. If I want to obtain knowledge, I mostly go there."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Molten Gold Demon brother fell silent again. After a few seconds, he weighed it and said: "Cough~, if there is a chance, help me be a recommender. My previous Library Badge has expired."

"Oh."

"Let's stop the discussion about knowledge for now. I have existed for many years. In terms of experience, I can bring you great help. I have been to many worlds. By the way, how many worlds have you been to?"

"About 50."

"Hmm~, slightly inferior to me..."

After saying this, the Molten Gold Demon inside the sealed object wanted to slap itself. It was really shameful. But it thought about it again—going to many worlds doesn't mean having broad knowledge. The twenty-plus worlds it had been to were all high-level worlds or transcendent worlds, such as Wind Sea Continent, Meteorite Star, and Witch World.

Just then, Su Xiao asked: "I need intelligence on the Supreme Person, whether it's origin or capability characteristics, anything is fine."

"Hiss~, about this, my memory was damaged during the time I was sealed. But there is one point, I have fought with the Supreme Person."

The Molten Gold Demon began to tell the story. First was its strength during its peak period. As a top-tier Overlord creature, it hadn't reached the "Absolute Strong One" tier at that time, but was between "Absolute Strong One" and "Supreme Strong One," a bit far from "Supreme Strong One," and slightly stronger than the peak of "Absolute Strong One."

Adding up the strongmen of all races, there are actually not many "Absolute Strong Ones," let alone just talking about Overlord creatures. In this situation, the Molten Gold Demon calling itself a top Overlord at that time was no problem.

The Molten Gold Demon that reached this tier at that time inevitably felt proud. In this situation, one day, a loud noise suddenly came, and then it was shrouded in elemental flames. After reacting to what was going on, the Molten Gold Demon found that it was an elemental flame fireball that flew over. Hundreds of kilometers away was the melee zone of Spellcasters and Law-Extinguishers. The Demon Race, Feather Race, and Soul Race were fighting fiercely there.

Its own home was suddenly blown flat. The Molten Gold Demon naturally couldn't swallow this breath. After it arrived at the melee zone and prepared to find a Spellcaster to clean up, it discovered the Supreme Person at the center of the battlefield. The Molten Gold Demon simply didn't stop and challenged the Supreme Person.

The Molten Gold Demon was not completely out of its mind. It found a spear, accumulated full power from a distance, threw it at the Supreme Person from afar, and then didn't look at the result, turning and running, both nervous and exciting.

What made the Molten Gold Demon both disappointed and relieved was that the Supreme Person didn't chase it, seeming too lazy to pay attention to it? Thinking of this, the Molten Gold Demon began to look for a new home, and then slept until the Law-Extinguisher came to the door.

"Wait, you just said you fought with the Supreme Person, that's how you fought?"

Baha had a look of being shown, rubbing its head with one wing.

"That is the Supreme Person. I wasn't even a Supreme Strong One at that time. Daring to make a move already shows great courage."

Even now, when the Molten Gold Demon mentions the Supreme Person, it still has lingering fears.

"You just said that after you found a new home, the Law-Extinguisher came to the door. What is this about?"

Hearing Baha's question, Molten Gold Demon brother's emotional fluctuation was great, and its tone was a bit higher, saying: "Who knew that the Law-Extinguisher was hiding in the spatial crack, waiting for the Supreme Person to approach! As a result, I was blasted out of the spatial hidden state by my spear with golden power."

"?"

Baha pressed its head with two wings like hands. It was completely shown by Molten Gold Demon brother.

After a while, Baha asked: "Is it because of this matter that you were sealed into the Golden Balance by the Law-Extinguisher's ally, the Silintis Dwarves?"

"That's not it. After those Law-Extinguishers beat me up, they let me go. Later, it was because I 'borrowed' hundreds of units of gold essence from the Silintis Dwarves. These misers, isn't it just something worth millions of Soul Coins? They actually sealed me in an object for so many years."

The more the Molten Gold Demon spoke, the lower its voice became. Baha immediately added: "Not killing you directly is because the Silintis Dwarves are relatively kind."

Hearing the Molten Gold Demon's words, although Su Xiao only believed half of it, he also increased the options for the multiple-choice question from three to four.

"Up to now, you and I are hostile. Do you have any objections to this?"

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the Molten Gold Demon fell silent for a few seconds and said: "No."

"That's good. No matter what, I am a Law-Extinguishing Shadow, and I must be reasonable in doing things."

"Ah?"

Molten Gold Demon brother was suddenly confused. It really couldn't connect Law-Extinguishing Shadow with being reasonable.

"Originally, I let you choose one of three, now choose one of four."

"Actually gave me a chance to choose, let's hear it."

Although the Molten Gold Demon had no bottom in its heart, having a choice was better than always being sealed.

"First, maintain your current sealed state and throw you into the Abyss passage."

"Change one!"

The Molten Gold Demon's tone was exceptionally firm.

"Second, in a sealed state, you and Caesar get along well."

"This one, it's acceptable..."

However, before the Molten Gold Demon finished speaking, it noticed Caesar's eyes revealing yellow light. At such a moment, the Molten Gold Demon suddenly felt that compared to 'getting along well' with this guy, it would rather be thrown into the Abyss passage.

"Third, I have been holding three Original Sin Objects recently. Although they were sent away, they will come back. After they come back, you will be sealed together with them to save on sealing expenses."

Hearing this, the dark golden vertical pupil of the Molten Gold Demon inside the sealed object was full of confusion. From its gaze, Su Xiao saw that the Molten Gold Demon didn't want to choose this item.

"The last choice is actually quite safe. Later, I will go to the Eternal Light World. Once I arrive at the Eternal Light World, I will lift your seal and claim that you are my partner."

After listening to these words, the Molten Gold Demon was speechless for a while. Four choices, seemingly a multiple-choice question, but in fact, none of them had a good ending. It finally saw that if it didn't take out something valuable today, it would definitely not have good fruit to eat.

After weighing for a moment, the Molten Gold Demon said: "The last time a Devil Race brought the Golden Balance to the Wind Sea Continent was more than a hundred years ago. Is the Sea Race's power still strong now? Where is their main city? Is it still Yatuo Ancient City?"

"Yes."

"I know a coordinate, the coordinate of the Sea Race's secret treasure vault. As long as I get close to there, I can take out the metal-characteristic objects inside."

The Molten Gold Demon appropriately revealed its capability, unparalleled control and mastery over metal. It cannot adsorb metal, but gives metal life first, and then controls it.

"When taking those secret treasure objects, let me out first. Of course, so many years have passed, I am not sure if that vault is still in use, but the cost of building that kind of vault is very high. In non-essential situations, the Sea Race should still use that vault."

After listening to these words, Su Xiao naturally guessed the Molten Gold Demon's purpose. The other party really wanted to plunder the secret treasure objects. It's just that after succeeding, it would definitely take the opportunity to escape.

Su Xiao had roughly figured out the Molten Gold Demon's background. This guy knows a little bit of everything, at a level exceeding professionals and lower than masters in this field.

In terms of strength, the original Molten Gold Demon was very capable of fighting, but there was a problem: in the era of melee between Spellcasters and Law-Extinguishers, there were too many strongmen. Among the many forces in this melee, even medium-sized forces had an Absolute Strong One to support the facade.

"Where is the coordinate of that vault?"

Su Xiao asked tentatively. Seeing his tone, the Molten Gold Demon knew in its heart that this matter had already succeeded by a small half.

"That coordinate is naturally in Yatuo Ancient City."

"More specifically."

"Okay, you try to verify the authenticity. However, the spatial coordinate I said, in the ears of people in your era, should be an old antique..."

The Molten Gold Demon said a rough direction of a coordinate. The values in all aspects were both professional and obscure.

Su Xiao took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew on it. After a while, the paper was full of straight lines intersecting each other, and many intersections were marked with circles.

"According to the spatial dimension of this world, this is indeed the Sea Race's headquarters, Yatuo Ancient City."

Su Xiao put down the pen in his hand. The Molten Gold Demon, who watched the whole process in the sealed object on the side, was silent at this moment. After more than ten seconds, the Molten Gold Demon suddenly sneered and said: "Law-Extinguisher, you wouldn't want to loot this vault, would you? Although you Law-Extinguishers are like robbers to enemies, with your strength that is not even Absolute Strong, going to Yatuo Ancient City to find trouble with the Sea Race is seeking your own death."

"So, to take out equipment from this vault, I have to rely on your capability?"

Su Xiao turned his head to look at the sealed object on the table.

"That's for sure."

The Molten Gold Demon held the bargaining chip, and its tone was harder than just now.

"Why would I steal equipment from this vault? That's time-consuming and laborious. I can completely put a piece of equipment in."

A plan gradually formed in Su Xiao's heart, and it was very feasible.

"Put a piece of equipment in? You are..."

The Molten Gold Demon couldn't understand. No matter how it thought, it couldn't understand why Su Xiao did this.

First of all, the Molten Gold Demon didn't know about the existence of 【Endless Ring】. Su Xiao only obtained this equipment recently.

【Endless Ring】

Origin: Abyss.

Quality: Abyss-level.

Equipment effect 1: Robust Life (Core · Passive), when carrying this equipment, HP +200 points (each point of rating of this equipment brings an additional 20 HP bonus)...

Equipment effect 2: Rapid Devour (Core · Passive), can permanently increase the rating of this equipment by devouring high-value items such as equipment, props, gems, etc.

Equipment effect 3: Slow Absorption (Core · Passive)...

Equipment penalty: Dark Drowning (Passive)...

Rating: 10 points (Abyss-level equipment rating is 1~6000 points).

Simply understanding the characteristics of 【Endless Ring】 is that the more equipment it devours, and the higher the quality of the devoured equipment, the more rating 【Endless Ring】 permanently increases.

One thing is certain, which is that the warehouse coordinate provided by the Molten Gold Demon has a 90% probability of still being there. The reason is that at this stage, the Sea Race is half-holding the Dwarf King hostage. Su Xiao doesn't believe that the Sea Race will let the Dwarf King be idle every day. The most likely result is that the Sea Race lets the Dwarf King teach the Sea Race's blacksmiths.

Judging from the situation on the main battlefield, the quality of the Sea Race's weapons and armor is several grades higher than that of the Beast Race. This should be the difference brought about by a large number of Sea Race craftsmen.

There should be quite a few Sea Race craftsmen whose forging level is below that of the Dwarf King, which will cause a situation where a lot of high-grade equipment is created, but no one uses it.

This is inevitable. The Wind Sea Continent is so vast, there are many kinds of high-level extraordinary materials, plus there are many high-level craftsmen, and the Sea Race generals are just those few, which must cause many high-grade equipment to be created but unused.

This is also what makes the Goblin Chamber of Commerce a partner of the Sea Race. The Sea Race uses this to earn Soul Coins, but even so, the Sea Race still stores a lot of high-grade equipment, which must be stored in a vault.

The vault of the Wind Sea Continent is different from the vaults of other worlds. There are too many spatial strongmen here. For that vault of equipment, it is really worth taking a risk. At worst, after the matter is done, go to the Beast Race side, take out a large amount of Soul Coins, and use the World-level teleportation array to leave this world.

This also causes the construction cost of the vault in this world to be very high. The Sea Race has huge resources, that's true, but they are not extravagant enough to abandon a vault that was still in use a hundred years ago.

After confirming that there is a huge amount of high-grade equipment in that vault, if the activated 【Endless Ring】 is stored in it, what will happen? No need to think to know that by then, 【Endless Ring】 will devour high-grade equipment around it one by one.

Does the Sea Race not set up monitoring for such a vault? Of course, it was set up, but the problem is that the vault is too safe, safe to the point that even their own people cannot perceive it from the outside. They can only appoint an official position to regularly check the situation of the vault. At least the Beast Race side is like this.

Su Xiao cannot handle the exploration formula inside the vault, but he can handle the Sea Race responsible for checking those formulas, or rather, he can entrust Caesar, who is currently the Sea Race's military supplies officer, to handle that guy.

As long as 【Endless Ring】 is stored inside, and no one checks the situation of the vault for a period of time, the matter is done. And how to take 【Endless Ring】 that has devoured high ratings? Naturally, it is by relying on the notarization mechanism of the Sea Race camp store. Before leaving this world, that is, when going there to conspire with Caesar to stock up, he can use the Sea Race's reputation value to exchange 【Endless Ring】 out.

Su Xiao took out 【Endless Ring】 and placed it on the table. Caesar said with a treacherous smile: "My dear friend, the difficulty of this matter is very high."

"30,000."

Su Xiao offered 30,000 Soul Coins. Caesar still looked embarrassed.

"50,000."

Su Xiao placed the 50,000-denomination Soul Coin savings card on the table. Seeing that the price had exceeded expectations, Caesar put away the Soul Coin savings card and 【Endless Ring】 with a full face of smiles.

After Caesar left, the Molten Gold Demon said in a deep voice: "Just now you said you were going to the Eternal Light World, were you threatening me?"

"Unfortunately, not."

"Law-Extinguisher, why don't we end our previous grudges here? I will never come to find you again..."

Before the Molten Gold Demon finished speaking, Su Xiao had already picked up the sealed object and put it away. He asked Baha: "How long has the Priest been here?"

That's right, the Priest who went to the Sea Race main city to discuss the "Primordial Mark" fragment transaction left just after arriving there, seeming to have no interest in the 20% "Primordial Mark" fragments mastered there.

"About half an hour."

Hearing Baha's words, Su Xiao left the pharmacy room and went to the inner hall on the second floor. Just as he walked into the inner hall, he saw the Priest with a pale face. At this time, the Priest was leaning on the single sofa, his aura a bit weak after severe injury.

Seeing the Priest in this state, after Su Xiao sat down, he poured a cup of tea for the other party and asked: "Backlash from the Original Sin Object?"

"No, it's that thing in the Sea Race main city. I feel that thing is already close to the tier of the Candle Woman and the Lord of the Old Days. It seems like a similar existence, but not entirely. Very... strange."

As the Priest spoke, he pulled up the sleeve of his right arm. On this arm, white bones were already exposed. The situation of the upper arm was okay, but the lower arm only had a small amount of flesh and blood attached to the white bones. With the Priest's recovery ability, the recovery speed of flesh and blood was very slow, seeming to be suppressed by some kind of force.

Su Xiao didn't ask much. Before, when he felt that even Caesar was wary of that thing, he knew it was not easy to provoke. Now that one of the Priest's arms was almost eaten away, and divine source blood should have been lost, in this situation, the Priest actually admitted defeat.

Being wary of Caesar and evaluated as strange by the Priest, one could imagine how terrifying that thing was.

At this moment, the Priest came here, not for that thing, but to discuss with Su Xiao how to transfer the "Golden Holy Grail" to the Arcane Eternal Star.
