Chapter 3782

The three rewards of the legendary mission were all very generous. The importance of the Void Tree's reputation needs no further explanation, and the permanent entry permit to the Eternal Light world would facilitate the subsequent harvesting of Zerg production.

Besides that, this permit had many other uses; for example, the elemental zone where his base camp was located had quite a few benefits.

The third reward, the "Primordial Core," although its use was unknown, it was certain that it was a superior product to the "Primordial Fragment," and very likely the best choice for advancing to a Supreme-level being.

Su Xiao attempted to consult the data on the "Primordial Core" and unexpectedly discovered that due to completing the legendary mission, his permission level within this world was extremely high, plus his existing Hunter permission, he could already view the conditions for advancing to the Supreme level.

Advancing to the Supreme level was by no means an easy task. There were several mandatory prerequisites, as well as several non-mandatory but helpful prerequisites that could increase the probability of advancing to the Supreme level, totaling as follows:

1. Absorbed a copy of "Initial Source Matter" (this is a mandatory prerequisite).

2. Own main attributes raised to 500–800 points (the more main attributes one has, and the higher the main attributes, the higher the success rate of advancing to the Supreme level; reaching 500 points is a mandatory prerequisite).

3. Core-type abilities reach Lv. 95 (this is a mandatory prerequisite, including basic core passives, technique abilities, etc.).

4. 50 Primordial Fragments (this is a mandatory prerequisite).

These were the hard requirements for advancing to the Supreme level. However, some of these requirements could have better solutions, such as using 5 "Primordial Cores" to replace the required 50 "Primordial Fragments." As a benefit, the upper limit after advancing to the Supreme level would be higher.

Why did some Supreme-level beings stagnate when they reached the middle or upper reaches of the Supreme level? It was because they had reached their limit. Compared to slow progress in cultivation, reaching the limit was a more helpless situation.

In Su Xiao's view, even for Contractors and Hunters, there was a limit. Although being in the Paradise faction might allow one to find a way to break this limit, compared to the difficulty of finding a way to break the limit, obtaining enough "Primordial Cores" was clearly simpler. Assuming the difficulty of the former was 80, the difficulty of the latter was around 10. This was the gap between accumulation and compensation.

For Su Xiao, the high upper limit after advancing to the Supreme level was truly too important. His greatest enemy, the Supreme Being, was the strongest existence above the Supreme level. To deal with this enemy, he naturally could not take the Supreme level as his ultimate goal.

However, the difficulty of obtaining "Primordial Cores" was truly too high. Su Xiao had completed a legendary mission of terrifying difficulty and only obtained one. He needed to accumulate five in total, so the difficulty could be imagined.

Conversely, the "Primordial Fragments" obtained later would not need to be accumulated, which also meant that Su Xiao could absorb more "Source Matter."

Whether it was "Power Source Matter" or "Special Source Matter," after absorption, one needed to absorb the Primordial Power within the "Primordial Fragments" to stabilize and assist absorption. At least, Su Xiao was like this; he did not have several years, or even longer, to slowly stabilize.

The more "Source Matter" one absorbed, the more Primordial Power one would need to consume to stabilize it later. This was because "Source Matter" improved oneself according to a percentage of one's current strength. For example, after absorbing "Power Source Matter," Su Xiao's real Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence would all increase by 5%.

His current four attributes being 300 points or 400 points brought different levels of improvement; the former meant all four attributes increased by 15 points, while the latter meant all four attributes increased by 20 points.

Su Xiao had previously absorbed two copies of "Power Source Matter" in succession and only used one "Primordial Fragment" to successfully stabilize. This was a special case for the first absorption of "Source Matter" power, which could be considered a "newbie benefit" for "Source Matter," and it was not much different.

Later, to absorb "Source Matter" and want to stabilize quickly, one would have to pay the same number of "Primordial Fragments" as the number of times "Source Matter" was absorbed. In other words, the next time Su Xiao absorbed "Power Source Matter," he would have to consume three "Primordial Fragments" to quickly stabilize his state.

It was no wonder that many powerhouses in native worlds relied on time to slowly stabilize, some even going so far as to spend decades or even centuries to stabilize the unstable state after absorbing "Source Matter" multiple times.

Su Xiao did not care about this situation. Since he had decided to accumulate "Primordial Cores" to advance to the Supreme level, the "Primordial Fragments" obtained later would be more than enough for absorbing "Source Matter."

And this was not without benefits. It seemed that using time to slowly wear down the surplus of "Source Matter" was a more economical way, but it actually limited the development of 【Supreme Being, X (Passive)】.

【Supreme Being, X (Passive)】

Secret Law Power: Current Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence permanently increased by 5% (already strengthened twice).

Potential Power: Obtain corresponding improvements according to Source Matter characteristics (not yet improved through special Source Matter).

The level of the Supreme Being ability could indeed not be improved, but its characteristics could be improved. If one used "Primordial Fragments" to stabilize this ability every time after absorbing "Source Matter," the improvement ratio of "Secret Law Power" could obtain a small increase.

Initially, the improvement was almost invisible, but if dozens of "Primordial Fragments" were invested, the growth brought by Primordial Power to "Secret Law Power" would be relatively intuitive. Even if it only improved by 1%, it would be a not-insignificant gap in the later stages.

Besides the "Primordial Core" being able to provide greater assistance for advancing to the Supreme level, the 【Source Potion】 was also a very critical link, which involved whether the foundation could be raised to the most solid level.

Su Xiao's existing 【Source Potion (Perfect)】 was already the dream of all Supreme Beings, but as a Potion Master, the 【Source Potion】 he used himself would certainly pursue the Miracle grade above the Perfect grade; this was the peak.

Putting away the "Book of Original Sin," having successfully solved the powerful enemy, the World-Eater, Su Xiao felt much more relaxed. Up to now, only the last powerful enemy, the Scarlet Monarch, remained.

In Su Xiao's view, the Scarlet Monarch was more difficult to deal with than the World-Eater. The Scarlet Monarch could use Original Sin items, which was undoubtedly a huge threat. It could be said that this was the first enemy Su Xiao had dealt with who could use Original Sin items.

Although the Priest held the Golden Holy Grail, that was more of a coexistence relationship, not like the Scarlet Monarch, who could use the Great-Daddy-level Original Sin item, the Scarlet Scepter, as a weapon.

Therefore, before dealing with the Scarlet Monarch, Su Xiao had a few things to handle. He activated the Watcher Ring, and when the spatial mist dissipated, he was already inside the Gray Sanctuary. The clanging sound of forging came from within, while the Scroll Workshop opposite had its doors tightly closed.

The Scroll Master had already left this world. The other party had always wanted to go to the Transcendent World, the Witch World, and seemed to have some urgent matters. Alas, the Old Tree race, as the Watchers of Eternal Light, were already so senile that they had forgotten how to open the spatial seal of the Eternal Light world. Upon seeing Su Xiao at this stage, they naturally borrowed the Blade of Sealing and left this world.

When Su Xiao passed by the Old Tree race, he found that the Old Tree race's aura was weak to the extreme. Sensing Su Xiao's arrival, the Old Tree race trembled with their eyelids, attempting to open their eyes, but ultimately failed to do so. Still not dead at this time, the Old Tree race was waiting for a result.

Arriving at his temporary residence, Su Xiao pulled open the drawer of the wooden cabinet and took out a key. This was the 【Eternal Light World · Law-Maker Treasury Key】. This was the faction treasury of the Law-Maker faction, not the personal assets of a single Law-Maker.

Before coming to the Eternal Light world, Su Xiao had been quite expectant of this treasury. However, this treasury was located on an isolated island in the Sea of Sand. He could not go there before wiping out the Deep Sea Evil Spirit race, and after starting the war with the world-ending species, he had only just had time now.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who squeezed in from the side, was quite expectant. Its dream had always been to master some Moon Wolf skills. Whether it was strong or not was a secondary matter; being cool was a lifelong pursuit. Alas, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had tried holding a greatsword in its mouth, but ended up hitting a metal sword stake, resulting in a mild concussion on the spot. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's sword dream was shattered on the spot.

As for Moon Light power, it was better not to mention it. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had once tried to sense Moon Light energy, but ended up holding its breath for over an hour, until its snoring was continuous, without sensing even a bit of Moon Light energy.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could not count on Wolf Sword Art or Moon Light power, and could only hope that this time, going to the Law-Maker faction's treasury, there would be some equipment with Moon Wolf characteristics, allowing it to catch some of the Moon Wolf's style.

"Boss, you'd better be mentally prepared. You know what the few Law-Makers of the previous generation were like."

Baha spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao remained calm. After leaving the residence, he found the Dark Lady walking off the teleportation array.

"Found the Scarlet Seed?"

"The Nightmare Seal could be opened at any time."

"Hmm, that's good. I'll go to the isolated island in the Sea of Sand first."

Hearing this, the Dark Lady paused, turned around, and walked onto the teleportation array. The Watcher Ring on her index finger was half-activated, and she said, "I'll take you."

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha stepped onto the teleportation array. As the teleportation array activated, a cold, bloody feeling gradually struck. When the teleportation ended, Su Xiao was already on an island. This island looked like it was piled up with countless bones. The sky was pitch black, and the clouds and mist appeared scarlet, making the already dim light here appear even more gloomy.

Located in the center of the island was a giant skull hundreds of meters high. Scarlet mist was slowly drifting out from the eye sockets of the skull. The Dark Lady raised her pale blue finger and pointed towards the giant skull: "Thorns and Yusha are over there."

Hearing the name Yusha, Su Xiao remembered this person whom he had met a few times in the Shelter City, and whose spirit body he had seen in the Scarlet Temple. However, the blood-gas mark left on the other party last time had been resolved by the Wolf Swordsman Thorns using a substitute doll. It seemed that there was still room for improvement in this regard.

Speaking of which, the Junk Brother Thorns was the older brother of the Wolf Swordsman Losna, and Yusha was considered the daughter of the Wolf Swordsman Losna. In this way, Thorns was considered Yusha's uncle?

This was actually a good thing. The Junk Brother's fate wound was already very serious. The other party was like a lonely traveler walking in endless ashes. After completing all his missions, the thing the other party wanted to do most was not lively celebration and clamor, but to find a quiet, uninhabited place and sleep forever there. This Watcher of Eternal Light was truly too tired.

At least that was the feeling the Junk Brother had given Su Xiao before. However, upon learning that his sister was still alive, there were some ripples in the Junk Brother's heart. It seemed he wanted to entrust Su Xiao to help him prepare a few bottles of medicine to suppress the fate wound, but upon learning that his sister did not have long to live, the Junk Brother gave up this plan.

Now that he learned his sister had a daughter, the Junk Brother might not be so lonely anymore. Especially, as the Dark Lady said, Yusha had also inherited the Moon Light power.

In this regard, the Junk Brother was the best teacher, bar none. Not to mention anything else, the highest level of the former Lightless Temple actually had five people. It was only after the Junk Brother killed one that it became the Four Giants. Dark Moon Light Thorns was never a minor character. The Junk Brother was just very humble. It was only after his strength permanently slipped after bearing the fate wound left by a top-tier world-ending existence that he began to call himself only half a Watcher of Eternal Light, and he never revealed his former strength.

Thinking about it, the Junk Brother would not have an affectionate attitude towards Yusha. After all, as a master, he still had to be stricter. Especially, Yusha had previously mixed in the fish-and-dragon-mixed Dark Street. Now she looked well-behaved, but after getting familiar, her personality was very mischievous, and she was both brave and hid the belly-black and ruthless nature honed in the Dark Street.

Su Xiao was not in a hurry to go to the entrance of the Nightmare Seal for the time being. He looked at the Dark Lady on the side and asked, "How did you come?"

"By boat."

"Then that's perfect, I'm going to this place."

Su Xiao took out the treasury key. The treasury key floated up on its own and gradually drifted in one direction. He looked at the Dark Lady again and said, "I'm going to find Thorns."

"No need, he is guarding the entrance of the seal and teaching Yusha Moon Light power. I know the route."

"That's best."

Su Xiao walked towards the shore. After arriving near the small wooden boat on the shore, he frowned and asked, "You guys used this boat to get to Bone Island?"

"Hmm."

The Dark Lady sat down at the stern of the boat. Seeing this, Su Xiao sat in the center of the boat, Amu rowed at the bow, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked around behind Amu.

An hour later, the wind and waves on the Sea of Sand were gentle, and Su Xiao sat cross-legged and meditated.

Two hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the Dark Lady sitting a meter away opposite him. At this moment, the Dark Lady was looking at the nautical chart in her hand with her brows slightly furrowed.

Baha on the side wanted to speak but stopped. Actually, it had long wanted to speak, but it really did not dare to chatter with the Dark Lady and could only hold it in.

Looking at the Dark Lady opposite with her brows slightly furrowed, Su Xiao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He asked, "Is the direction we are sailing now correct?"

"Probably~, correct."

Since knowing the Dark Lady, this was the first time Su Xiao had seen the other party's confidence so insufficient. In the past, although her voice was soft, her tone was steady. This time, her tone was getting weaker and weaker.

"Give it here."

Su Xiao raised his hand. The Dark Lady hesitated for a moment, but finally handed over the nautical chart, and Su Xiao began to point the way.

An hour later, the Dark Lady looked around at the boundless sea of sand and asked, "Where is this?"

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak and frowned at the nautical chart in his hand. Seeing this scene, the Dark Lady's expression became a bit joyful. Although she did not show a smile, it could be seen that she was in a good mood.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning: 'Finally, it's my turn to show off!'

But half an hour later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at the nautical chart in confusion, then looked at the terminal in its claws, and finally slapped the terminal on the boat, looking unhappy and looking up, with an expression of, even if I got lost, I still won't admit it.

Amu took the nautical chart. This silly guy stared at it for more than ten seconds, put down the nautical chart, and then used all its brute force to start rowing. An hour later, the isolated island where the Law-Maker treasury was located appeared in front.

After boarding the island, Su Xiao passed through the ring-shaped forest on the edge of the island and arrived in front of a giant hall in the center area. He stopped in front of a metal gate more than ten meters high. He pressed one hand on the gate, and as he released the Qinggang Shadow energy, the heavy mechanisms on the gate opened, and the opposing metal gate opened with a click.

Walking into the hall, it looked a bit empty. Located at the very back was an opposing metal gate three meters high. This metal gate appeared dark silver, its surface covered with sword marks and repair traces. On the side, there was also a line of words engraved, which read:

'After forgetting to bring the key, it is forbidden to chop this door — key hint, Green.'

Looking at the scarred treasury door ahead, filled with stories, Su Xiao was slightly uneasy about the gains this time. For example, after opening the door, inside the huge treasury, there might be a note hanging, on which it was written: 'Your experience in the Eternal Light world is the rarest treasure, so turn back.'

With the integrity of the previous generation of Law-Makers, they could do this. No, perhaps it was some new trick that was even more unexpected.

Picking up the treasury key, Su Xiao pushed open the two door leaves with both hands. As the door leaves were pushed open, the vast starry sky appeared before his eyes.

Su Xiao's eyes widened a bit. Afterwards, he closed the treasury door leaves, remained silent for a few seconds, and then pushed them open again. The scene that came into view was still the vast starry sky. He even saw a few meteorites drifting past ahead in a weightless state.

Su Xiao closed the treasury door leaves again. Perhaps the opening method was wrong. He inserted the key into the lock hole again, and this time chose to turn it counterclockwise. Unexpectedly, it could really be turned.

Click, click, click~

After turning it to the end, Su Xiao pushed open the treasury door. The scene that came into view was pitch black. Located in this endless darkness, a terrifying aura struck his face, as if a giant mouth capable of swallowing the sky was covering him. Su Xiao immediately closed the door. He could even feel the terrifying monster in the darkness hitting the door, causing a terrifying vibration.

"Woof~?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark even carried a trembling tone, its hind legs trembling, the terror of the dark giant beast just now scared it so much that it almost shed a few drops of urine.

Su Xiao tried to turn the key back. He discovered that the turning range of this key actually had many graduations, each graduation representing a different environment. Even, between each graduation, they could be combined. For example, turning three graduations counterclockwise from the starting point, and then turning two graduations clockwise, this combination could open the door to an unknown environment.

The real Law-Maker treasury was just one of these many environments. The problem was, which unlocking graduation was correct? Su Xiao estimated that the old Law-Makers, Ma Wen Waltz and Green Gillian, did not know this question. This should have been set up by a previous generation of Law-Maker after the Law-Maker faction declined to the limit, with the purpose of both leaving a sum of resources for future successors and preventing these resources from being taken by enemies.

Thinking about it, this key lock plate was more like a smokescreen. Su Xiao tried to inject Qinggang Shadow energy into the key, but there was no change.

He simply turned the key to the starting point, looked at the 'After forgetting to bring the key, it is forbidden to chop this door — key hint, Green' engraved on the door, drew his Checking Zhan Long Shan, and stabbed it into the door. This metal door felt indestructible, but using the Blade of Law-Maker to stab it, there was only slight resistance.

Click, click, click!

The key on the door began to turn on its own, and the Checking Zhan Long Shan stuck on it popped out. The treasury door turned into a high-speed rotating winch, full of lethality.

Su Xiao released his Magic Spirit to rush into it, sensed that the Magic Spirit side was stable, and then swapped positions with the Magic Spirit.

First it was darkness, then the ceiling above gradually revealed a pale blue light. The phantom of the Star-Swallower Akas appeared. This phantom was not a soul body, but just a projection of the blue light above.

The phantom of the Star-Swallower Akas pointed to a stone platform at the very back, on which a delicate sealed box was placed. A few seconds later, the phantom of the Star-Swallower Akas disappeared.

In Su Xiao's cognition, the Star-Swallower Akas was always reliable, and rigorous and serious. Leaving this phantom must have had a purpose. Therefore, taking the place where Akas's phantom disappeared as the starting point, Su Xiao stepped forward and walked straight.

He even suspected that only as a Law-Maker, with Qinggang Shadow energy in his body, could he see this phantom deliberately left by Akas. After he walked a dozen steps, a loud explosion came from both sides, and sharp crystal spikes pierced from the ground to the ceiling, leaving only this half-meter-wide small path pointed out by Akas.

The spikes around exploded, and with spatial teleportation, they teleported away the ground, the ceiling, and anyone pierced. The rotating winch door leaves behind stopped immediately and locked from the inside, becoming only able to be opened again from the inside.

Discovering that this place was set up by the Star-Swallower Akas, Su Xiao's heart was completely at ease. He guessed that the resources here should not reach an exaggerated amount. After all, it was left by the Law-Maker faction during its final decline period. The destruction of the Law-Maker faction did not happen suddenly, but was consumed by the Arcane Eternal Star for a long time, and finally failed.

Under such circumstances, the resources in this sealed box would not reach an extremely exaggerated level. But conversely, as a secret treasure left by the previous generation of Law-Makers for their successors, it would definitely not be small. He arrived at the stone platform and opened the wooden box on it.
