The Era of Gods - Chapter 301
Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Escape

Since there were no further troubles, Lin Xiao felt relieved and began to inventory his gains.
As for the incarnation sent to the Sinister Abyss Crystalline Wall, consider it dead. Exchanging an incarnation for these invaluable resources was certainly a worthwhile trade for him at the moment.
Firstly, he put away the Crystal Token, which represented the second stage of eligibility for the Ruins of Myriad. He definitely couldn’t use that right now.
Next was the Star Realm Battleship. In his hands, it was only the size of a palm, but it could be freely enlarged or shrunken. At its largest, it was even bigger than the previous Ghost battleship incarnation, stretching over ten thousand meters, containing an independent demi-plane capable of accommodating a massive army within.
In fact, this item was a war fortress that could traverse the Crystal Wall, planes, and the divide between the material world and the Starworld.
Moreover, this item could freely change its form. Lin Xiao initially saw it as a dilapidated Ghost battleship, but in reality, it could also take the form of things like a Void Battleship from the Main World, a fortress, a Floating City, and so on, or even mimic creatures with colossal forms such as Dragons or Star Domain Giant Whales.
Most importantly, this item could grow and become stronger. The independent demi-plane it contained had its own Plane Origin and will. By strengthening this Plane Origin and will, the Star Realm Battleship could continuously grow.
This was a precious item. Lin Xiao’s first thought was that once he graduated from university and officially entered the other-Domain Crystalline Wall Plane to invade Natives’ Planes, it would come in handy. Then, there would be no need to rent or buy one.
The third treasure under inventory was the hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin.
This was easy to handle. He threw it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube to convert it into Creation Energy—hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin could be transformed into a thousand units of Creation Energy, making him instantly wealthy.
Together with his previous remaining amount and the continuous refining of the Evil Spirit Entities that challenged him, he now had a total of 1016 units of Creation Energy, a sudden wealth increase.
However, there were other treasures to inspect at the moment, so Lin Xiao didn’t deal with this one yet.
The fourth valuable item was the Eternal Fire. For normal Divine Territory Players who hadn’t reached Divine Enthronement, the best use of this item was naturally to place it in their own Divine Realm. Almost ten thousand people would choose this, but Lin Xiao was different.
Originally, this was his plan, but when he placed this item into the Creation Rubik’s Cube for transfer to the Divine Realm, the shell around his Divine Realm’s Origin of the Crystal Wall System began transmitting an intense longing for the Eternal Flame, continuously signaling its extreme desire for it. So…
Of course, he wouldn’t carelessly insert the Eternal Fire into the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core. Instead, he put both items into the Creation Rubik’s Cube and used it to assess what the combination of the two would yield.
The assessment’s result was indeed a great surprise to him.
According to the Creation Rubik’s Cube’s assessment, because the Eternal Fire was a part of a Crystal Wall Universe Origin Core, a manifestation of the Crystalline Universe’s Rules and Fundamental Laws, it essentially contained traces of the operation of various Rules and Laws of a Crystalline Universe.
If he integrated it into the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core he had on hand, using the awakened Crystal Wall will as the core, he could reweave the basic network of Fundamental Laws within the Core’s underlying structure.
It is commonly known that each Crystal Wall Universe’s Rules and Fundamental Laws are distinct and have unique characteristics; beyond their uniqueness, there is a basic set of lower-level Laws that all Crystalline Universes share.
For example, water can extinguish fire, fire can boil water, gravity, magnetism, vitality, decay, life and death, etc. These are the Basic Lower-Level Rule, applicable in any Crystalline Universe.
If the Rules in a particular Crystalline Universe deviate from these Fundamental Lower-Level Laws, it isn’t that the Fundamental Laws are different, rather, that Universe’s unique Rules are overshadowing the basic framework.
Just like living people can survive for a while in the Undead Plane engulfed by death energy, Holy Spells can still be used there, no matter how demanding the conditions or how weak the power may be. As long as living people can exist, Holy Spells can be executed, so the Fundamental Lower-Level Laws are the same.
Similarly, in a sea composed entirely of water, fire can still be ignited. Whether it’s flames brought by underwater volcanic eruptions or fire conjured by Transcendent Spells, this demonstrates that no matter the apparent absolute Rules of any Crystalline Universe, the underpinning foundation is the same.
What Lin Xiao was about to do was to fuse this sphere of Eternal Fire into the shell of his Crystal Wall System’s Core, with the touch of Crystal Wall Will he had previously reactivated at the center, to reconstruct the Basic Lower-Level Laws.
As for creating unique Laws, for the moment he had no way of doing that, nor did he know which specific unique Law would be good to implement.
Fortunately, this wasn’t urgent. Simply weaving the Basic Lower-Level Laws would take an unknown amount of time to complete.
In fact, this sphere of Eternal Fire could only start the process, shaping just a basic framework of the lower-level Laws network, which would need a massive amount of Creation Energy to slowly fill in.
Yes, a massive amount this time, not just a large one.
To reconstruct the network of Basic Lower-Level Laws for a Crystal Wall Universe Origin Core, one could imagine the required commitment. Even with a thousand units of Creation Energy at hand, it wouldn’t be enough.
This wasn’t a case of Creation Energy’s devaluation; rather, the task he was undertaking was too high-end.
This was something not even great divine powers dared to attempt, yet he, a newcomer who wasn’t even a Demigod, was daring to touch such matters. It was truly reckless.
But considering the benefits of accomplishing this feat, even a huge investment would be worthwhile.
However, just as he was about to begin the fusion, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and put the task aside. He grabbed the radiant orb of light—the Divine Treasure of Myriad.

He remembered that all treasures would contain Crystal Wall Origin, and as the highest-grade treasure, the Divine Treasure of Myriad should possess a substantial amount of Crystal Wall Origin.
The next steps were too crucial; even holding a thousand units of Creation Energy made him feel apprehensive. He decided to first unlock the Divine Treasure of Myriad to obtain more Creation Energy, just to be safer.
Unlocking the treasure was simple, he reached out and pressed into it, and a light screen popped out from the luminescent sphere that the treasure had transformed into, displaying a series of prompts before his eyes.
He initially ignored the series of items useful to heroes; no matter how good the treasures or barracks, they would be of no use to him since his True Body did not possess a Hero Level. His focus was on the part of the treasure that benefited Divine Territory Players.
First was the Crystal Wall Origin, a full hundred units, which equated to another thousand units of Creation Energy.
Two Five Star Ancient Cards with an exceptionally dense crystalline light.
Yes, only two cards, but he had only seen such denseness of the crystalline light before on the Flame Melt Sea Card.
Upon closer inspection, one card was called ‘Eternal Cloud Palace’ and the other ‘Eternal Cloud Sea,’ forming a set of complementary cards.
The Eternal Cloud Palace card could summon an altar like the one he saw in the Ruins of Myriad that worshipped the Eternal Fire. Every month, it could summon a Titan Giant of Rank 7 strength, each costing ten units of Divine Power to replace the summoning resources, and every ten years, it could use a hundred units of Divine Power to summon a Rank 8 Thunder God Lord.
It was indeed incredibly powerful, terrifyingly so, yet it had a limitation that was, for him, almost laughable. Neither the summoned Titan Giants nor the Thunder God Lords could leave the domain where the Cloud Palace resided, meaning they could not be brought into battle and could only protect the home.
This condition effectively halved the effectiveness of the card, leaving Lin Xiao greatly disappointed.
However, after calming down and thinking about it, it made sense. If these summoned creatures could be taken into battle, it wouldn’t just be a Five Star Card, it could probably surpass any ordinary Divine Card.
The Eternal Cloud Sea was a special environmental card that could form a sea of clouds enshrouded in mist, appearing like a celestial paradise, and was exceptionally beautiful.
Of course, beauty was just a side benefit. The actual effect was that any living creature within the Cloud Sea could greatly extend their lifespan, roughly doubling it. Furthermore, they would be immune to all diseases, and their strength would not diminish, among other special benefits.
It might seem a bit superfluous, and one could say it had no combat power, but in reality…
Let’s just say it’s a card meant for later-stage leverage. Before university, it was indeed quite superfluous for Divine Territory Players.
But since it only occupied a single card slot, there was no reason not to use it, so he loaded both the Eternal Cloud Palace and Eternal Cloud Sea into the Heaven Divine Realm Space.
The Cloud Sea surrounding this Divine Domain Space made Heaven seem even more like heaven.
The Cloud Palace could summon powerful Titan Giants, and once he accumulated enough of them, their collective combat power would be considerable.
Next, the third treasure within the Divine Treasure of Myriad was a palm-length sword inlaid with colored gemstones, surrounded by colorful starlight, and extremely beautiful.
Ancient Treasure: The Sword of the Prophet Zalank (Rank 3 Top-tier Heirloom)
Passive Effect One: When loaded into a Divine Realm, all Clan attributes +2.
Passive Effect Two: When loaded into a Divine Realm, all Clan members’ mental strength is enhanced by 200%.
Passive Effect Three: The Guidance of the Prophet Zalank; when making any decision, all Clan members will receive guidance from the Prophet Zalank, greatly increasing the chance of making a better choice than they could on their own.
Evaluation: Hailing from the All-Embracing Crystalline Universe during the Dusk Epoch, the great Prophet Zalank, “In my name, guide to victory.”
There was one Ancient Treasure in the Divine Treasure of Myriad, not to mention, this one alone was worthy of the name of a divine treasure.
The Ancient Treasure was very similar to the treasures found in the Ruins of Myriad, or rather, the treasures were likely modeled after the Ancient Treasure. However, the effect of the treasures only applied to subordinate heroes and was limited to the All-Embracing Crystalline Universe, losing all effect once leaving that world, making them much less valuable than the Ancient Treasure.
The attribute enhancements of the Ancient Treasure were far inferior compared to the treasures, with a Top-tier Ancient Treasure only providing all attributes +2. If it were a Top-tier treasure, the value would definitely be greater.
But this enhancement applied to all members of the God Realm Kin, and even if they left the Divine Realm to wage war in Foreign Dimensions, it would still be effective, which was very powerful.
Lin Xiao immediately loaded this Ancient Treasure into his Divine Realm, ranking it alongside the other two Ancient Treasures.
Finally, the last treasure inside the Divine Treasure of Myriad was a fist-sized, drop-shaped, colorless, transparent, and supremely pure rhombic crystal.
At first glance, it looked like a crystal, but when he took it into his hands, he realized it was a pure aggregation of rules; its function was simple. He had to refine it one by one
