At this moment, Li Yu was both excited and panicked.

Excited because he saw the "target"; the strange object embedded in the forehead of the demon lantern big fish was shockingly a mirror-fragment-like object, very simple and full of traces of time.

A casual glance, but Li Yu saw light and shadow fragments flashing inside, his heart jumped and he had a guess:

"Is that thing a soul crystal?"

"When some powerful entities die, their souls do not disperse, and such strange objects will precipitate out, and their life experiences will be concentrated in it along with the essence of the soul."

"Getting a soul crystal is equivalent to getting a complete inheritance, even accompanied by a large amount of magic power."

"The soul crystal that will appear in the depths of the Sea of Fog is likely left by an ancient entity, and there must be some ancient secrets inside..."

"I won't let go even if I'm cut at the waist."

It sounded absurd, but Li Yu really thought so.

With his current body, a waist cut was not a very heavy injury, and he could recover with a thought.

But if he let this "big fish" run, he would be heartbroken to the extreme.

Questioning the fisherman, understanding the fisherman, becoming the fisherman.

This process, Li Yu completed in the blink of an eye.

So when the words fell, the Jin Gang giant strength in his body was completely released.

His whole person visibly expanded.

He couldn't help but let out a muffled roar and began to wrestle with the "demon lantern big fish".

According to the theory, Li Yu was now a dignified Sequence 4 powerhouse, and his body also possessed alien divine organs like 【Jin Gang Glazed Buddha Bone】, completely possessing the power to move mountains, so he naturally had the ability to forcibly drag a hill-sized strange fish up.

However, that big fish also had a background.

It was an alien bloodline from the ancient era, and it also accidentally obtained a soul crystal fragment left by a divine entity after death; although it could never survive outside the Sea of Fog, in the sea, its power and wisdom were far stronger than other demon lantern anglerfish.

The most critical thing was that the divine abilities and spells that Li Yu was good at as a "Bait-Eating True Person" were all unusable because of the Eternal Fog.

If it was just comparing strength, Li Yu would really lose.

Just two or three breaths!

Li Yu was already at a disadvantage, the fishing line tightened, making a creaking sound that could break at any time, and Li Yu's figure was constantly being forcibly dragged towards the end of the World Tree branch.

It was very clear that if he didn't want to let go at the end, he would fall into the Sea of Fog and die.

Although this was the case, he still attracted a large number of gazes and some rustling surprised babble at this moment.

"Caught a fish just like that? What kind of luck is this?"

"A demon lantern anglerfish, and one that swallowed a soul crystal; sure enough, good luck."

"I smelled a toad smell, the Toad God's Qi? But even with the Toad God's blessing, it can't break the blockade of the Eternal Fog, and the luck divine art will fail because of this."

"Novice welfare, when I first came here, the first rod caught a 【Corpse Immortal Eel】, which is not rarer than this demon lantern fish."

"I won't be envious either, because this human body is weak and has no strength in hands and feet, and it is impossible to drag that big fish up."

"The believers of the Lord of the Veil do have strange means, but this is the 【Sea of Fog】, immune to all laws, relying entirely on brute force; the human race just happens to have no brute force."

These voices also drilled into Li Yu's ears.

But at this moment, he had no time to pay attention.

After discovering that his Jin Gang giant strength couldn't match the brute force of the demon lantern big fish below.

Li Yu didn't hesitate and dealt a ruthless blow to himself.

First, he swallowed the Great Bright Mount Mount Fumu Golden Needle directly; while being drowned in severe pain, his body also briefly obtained the Luo Han giant strength.

Still feeling it wasn't enough, he called his top-ranked sister Yi Ge to help across the air.

Both methods could borrow giant strength.

It's just that the price was not light; the former would produce a large amount of pollution backlash, and the latter would make the blood relationship between Li Yu and Yi Ge deeper and deeper; if he borrowed the Vortex God's power without limit like this, sooner or later he would become Yi Ge's step-brother, and at that time Yi Ge might not do anything, but the Vortex God who liked to be a mother might not necessarily.

But at this time, he had already done it regardless.

In the blink of an eye, his whole person had turned into a Jin Gang Luo Han covered in strange vortices; in the roar, giant strength several times more magnificent than before erupted.

"Come up for me!"

As if the words followed the law, Li Yu was so ruthless.

That demon lantern big fish was caught off guard and couldn't dive into the deep sea, and was forcibly pulled out of the water.

With another pull, it officially left the area shrouded in Eternal Fog.

Without the protection of the Eternal Fog, it immediately suffered.

First, the softest area of its huge fish body inexplicably hit a sharp branch on the World Tree trunk, and it was gutted on the spot, losing most of its struggle strength; clearly, this was the luck blessing from the Toad God, rarely not asking Li Yu to pay any price, and actively helping a hand.

It was considered helping to fish, but the fish didn't run.

After being hit hard, the big fish felt that its whole body was wrapped in hundreds of invisible and intangible threads, and at the same time, it felt that the bait in its mouth was sweet to the extreme, and even if it died because of this, it was unwilling to open its mouth.

There was more space-time power, supporting it to rise rapidly.

"Hoo"

"Fortunately, it's done."

"If I still couldn't beat it, I would either enable my 'big fish on the hook' strength, for example, the Sinful Buddha Child with full strength, let him pull across the world for me, it would definitely work, it's just that the return and the price are too mismatched... or fight for unknown danger and ask these fishermen in the field for help."

"I guess the latter effect is the best, and the risk is the lowest."

Li Yu silently prepared the second idea.

Then, amidst the envious gazes cast from all directions, he dragged the hill-sized demon lantern anglerfish onto the World Tree branch.

Looking at the big fish that was astonishing, relevant information automatically appeared in his mind; it was a mission, so naturally there would be a relevant fish atlas.

Speaking of which, this atlas was also counted as a gain by Li Yu; after all, it brought Truth progress.

"Demon lantern anglerfish, its flesh is incomparably delicious, and it is one of the foods that the three races of the magic boat love incomparably."

"Besides that, its scales and fish bones can be used to make magic tools."

"That lantern demon pupil is an even better transcendent material, and any water-attribute god's subordinates crave it, such as the Mingshen Sect."

"However, these are not important."

Li Yu didn't delay for even a second, and didn't even have time to hang the demon lantern anglerfish properly.

Just after dragging it up, he reached out abruptly, and after a "puchi" sound, he directly dug out the soul crystal.

Originally, the demon lantern anglerfish still had some resistance even after leaving the Sea of Fog.

For example, it was highly toxic, for example, the hypnotic and bewitching divinity that could be released by the lantern demon pupil, and for example, the poisonous mist it could spray, etc.

To completely suppress it, even someone as strong as Li Yu would have to spend some time.

But who let Li Yu have another top-ranked big brother.

The fact proved!

The Toad God, as a fun-loving god, indeed loves to watch this kind of quite crazy transcendent fishing.

Seeing Li Yu catch a fish, he directly gave a blessing, letting it bleed and lose strength, so that Li Yu had no risk of the fish running, much luckier than the three unlucky ones before.

The "soul crystal fragment" he truly wanted was in hand; Li Yu didn't even look at the demon lantern anglerfish again, directly hung it on the World Tree on the side, continued to bleed, and waited to sell it to the three races of the magic boat after it ended.

Then he cast the second rod without hesitation.

The excited and excited posture looked just like a fisherman whose addiction had completely come up.

Of course, his addiction had indeed come up.

He didn't avoid showing a bright smile, and whispered in his mouth: "Come again, come again; since there is the first one, there will definitely be the second, the third, the fourth..."

In the void, on the World Tree branch in the distance of the fog, the special powerhouses looked at Li Yu's eager appearance, and they all had a familiar sense of déjà vu.

Once upon a time, they were also like this.

Although there was not much hostility or malice, there were quite a few who cursed Li Yu.

"Lucky to catch a fish, actually delusional about continuous rods."

"A weak little human thing caught one, where is my fish?"

"Sure enough, it's the toad smell; hmph, without the Toad God's blessing, that demon lantern anglerfish would definitely run."

"If this little thing can catch a second one, I will go eat the feces of the Lord of the Melting Furnace."

"Really? That thing is hot and smelly; even if you are a demigod, you won't die suddenly, but you will be seriously injured."

Li Yu could hear that the owners of every noise were much stronger than him.

In a sense, it was equivalent to him mistakenly entering a high-end place.

Even if he was already at the Sequence 4 level now, he was considered a big shot in Wanfu City.

But the Sea of Fog was special after all.

Those who could come here and ignore the three races of the magic boat and occupy a position to fish were all absolute powerhouses.

Fortunately, there seemed to be some invisible rules in this fishing spot.

No matter how dissatisfied or malicious they were, no powerhouse attacked Li Yu.

The three figures who fought because of the fish running also stopped quickly, returned to their fishing spots, and continued to cast their rods.

"Should be some conventional rules, requiring to keep quiet, stable, etc."

"Once destroyed, they will be attacked by everyone."

"So, I just need to ignore them."

"Since fishing here depends entirely on luck and no means can be played, I might as well look at the secrets of the ancient era first..."

When the thought fell, Li Yu had already silently held the soul crystal fragment in his hand.

He split a wisp of heart and soul and began to read and absorb.

The fishing addiction was very strong, true.

But compared to the addiction of "peeking at secrets" which could already be considered Li Yu's original bad habit, it could only be ranked behind.

Especially since he was currently exploring and pursuing secrets.

Involving ancient gods!

Whether in the Present World or the boundless Spirit Realm, this was considered an extremely rare and precious mystery.

Li Yu's series of actions could be counted as top-level transcendent archaeology.

Although he had just started!

The Mount Mount Fumu's three questions could be counted as the first puzzle piece.

In front of him was the second puzzle piece.

The prerequisite for reading and absorbing the soul crystal fragment was to resist the pollution within it first.

This was naturally something Li Yu could bear.

Possessing the Truth Soul Body, his "resistance" in this regard was much stronger than many powerhouses at the Sequence 3 and Sequence 2 levels.

Especially since he didn't want to absorb the divine Qi within it, but only wanted to check the memories.

The next moment, after paying the price of heart and soul fear and body slightly rotting.

He began to read the residual fragment pictures in the soul crystal from the first perspective, as well as the obsessions and some last words left by the soul crystal owner before dying.

"The soul crystal owner was a divine entity called 【Mijialuo】."

"He was an ancient god, or a powerful living being, existing in the ancient era; after all, according to the current standards for divinity, gods were everywhere in that era."

"His authority was rot, but only aimed at living bodies, and he was also the protector of a native insect race."

"In the ancient era, he was not a powerhouse, so he naturally died on the battlefield of the gods."

"Before dying, because he was thinking about his favored descendants, he burst out with strong obsession and desperately left the soul crystal inheritance."

Accompanied by this information, what Li Yu saw.

Was the scene of the ancient era that was incomparably blurred and fragmented, but still made him shocked:

That seemed to be a boundless world, completely shrouded by Eternal Fog.

Inside it, there were shockingly a large number of unimaginable divine Qi, billions of rainbows representing opportunities, and streams of countless, incomparably magnificent spiritual tides, chaos eggs flying everywhere in the space... as if no matter how ordinary a living body was, as long as it was in it, there was a chance to become a divine entity.

"The world of the ancient era?"

"The original form of the boundless Spirit Realm?"

"The birthplace of the gods?"

"The birthplace of all things?"

In Li Yu's mind, a large number of questions surged out uncontrollably, followed by an uncontrollable palpitation.

At this moment, he even had the impulse to use up a Truth Bubble again.

But reason was stopping him; if it was just a small soul crystal fragment, even if he spent a bubble, he might not be able to peek at more secrets, so it was better to watch directly.

Fortunately, immediately, the last words of this ancient god who didn't have much presence in the ancient era revealed more unimaginable secrets to Li Yu:

"My children, I was born in the 【Well of Eternity】, and my initial form was a chaos egg."

"Born with me were other gods."

"Most of them were also chaos eggs."

"But a portion of more ancient entities seemed to be survivors of the 'previous era', surviving in the Well of Eternity by some method, waiting for the Well of Eternity to carry out the next round of eruption, and reshape a primordial universe."

"This seems to be an eternal rule; after the primordial universe is brewed, it will be erupted by the Well of Eternity, and carry out round after round of origin release, thereby shaping one material universe after another."

"At the time of the last great eruption of the Well of Eternity, I descended into the primordial world, and after one hundred million years, I was hatched."

"I hatched too late."

"Most of the benefits were taken by other gods, and I only grabbed a portion of the rot origin."

"If my children have the opportunity to find the location of the Well of Eternity, even if it is just the ruins after the eruption, perhaps there is an opportunity to become a god."
