Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 786 Mechanical Weapons

'He's left.'

Looking at the raging Eye of the Tide behind him, the entrance and exit to this primordial star, Gunn knew he would never return to the primordial star.

On the primordial star of the first thousand epochs, Gunn completed his transformation from a high-ranking venerable to a cosmic overlord, and even a higher-ranking cosmic overlord. In the end, even the Zerg's cosmic lord harbored murderous intent towards him.

Ten million years of progress has frightened them.

The harvest of treasures was even more abundant. In cooperation with Venerable Yuyu and the others, they shared a total of five high-grade treasures and several ordinary treasures. Among them were two high-grade treasure armors and one ordinary treasure of the domain type. As for the treasures of the high-grade soul and palace types, as soon as they appeared, the fluctuations emitted by the primordial star were the strongest level, which would even alarm the Lord of the Universe.

When it comes to high-level treasures involving souls, palaces, and domains, the participation of cosmic venerables is not as high as that of top-level treasures. Top-level treasures are often divided into many components or many tokens, and ordinary venerables can also participate. However, many of the three types of high-level treasures appear as a whole, and the time it takes for them to appear is long, so a cosmic lord will usually arrive.

Therefore, the efficiency of the four of them was already very high. Each person received five treasures equivalent to high-grade supreme treasures. Although the four of them did not have as many as Herodo in the early stages, they still received nearly twenty treasures throughout the process. If you include ordinary supreme treasures, the number is even more uncountable.

In the two times that Gu En successfully acted as the master of the Ancient Dark Palace, he obtained a high-grade sealed treasure, the "Coffin Demon Star," and a high-grade special treasure weapon, the "Gluttonous Star Crossbow." The Gluttonous Star Crossbow was very special. After he infused it with divine power, its power naturally increased simply by passing through the central part. Gu En even felt that it was far from reaching its limit. However, at the same time, its consumption of divine power exceeded that of ordinary treasures, far exceeding the speed at which divine power burned. Gu En thought that if he could use this characteristic on himself and suddenly unleash even higher energy, how terrifying that would be.

'Let the headless one take a look first. He's a disciple of the Divine Lord, so he should be quite knowledgeable about treasures.'

Guen placed the treasure into the divine realm, waiting for Danchan's clone to retrieve it and show it to the headless energy entity.

……

The headless energy entity examined the somewhat dark black crossbow before it, which bore only intermittent orange-yellow spots and an extremely peculiar and ancient character: "food".

"This is a mechanical flow treasure, and it's a part of a single mechanical flow. It doesn't have a 'source.' The core of a mechanical flow treasure is the source. Using the source as the central hub, it transforms and enhances divine power or energy to display greater power. This is the characteristic of mechanical flow. It means that even an immortal being, with a complete mechanical flow weapon, can easily obtain the power of a cosmic venerable or even a cosmic master. Of course, there are no mechanical flow treasures this low-end."

The headless energy entity said calmly, "Fighting beyond one's level and converting energy requires only activation rather than understanding. This is a characteristic of mechanical treasures. However, your crossbow has neither a storage source nor a central source, indicating that it is merely a component. The energy conversion and supply are all composed of other parts. If it didn't have a certain conversion hub of its own, it wouldn't even be able to exert its enhanced power. This kind of structure is common in low-level mechanical weapons. Without the ability to construct a high-level source, the source is split into multiple functions such as storage, central hub, and conversion. There may be multiple parent and child sources operating at the same time, but it is enough for you."

The headless energy entity paused for a moment: "If you can refine an ordinary supreme treasure within ten thousand epochs, I will complete its transformation structure; if you can refine it within one thousand epochs, I will refine a complete source for it. You only need to store energy, and during battle, you can directly consume the energy, and it will automatically unleash an attack similar to that of a cosmic lord. How about that?"

Danchan's clone knew that this was a radish hanging in front of its headless energy body, but this radish was really delicious.

"Once things are settled on the main body, we'll begin refining the weapon," Dan Chan's clone said.

"Not paying attention." The headless energy entity sighed and shrank back into the Jiehai Tower.

...'Mechanical flow weapon...'

Guen had never heard of this weapon before, but he foresaw its uniqueness. It only required activation, not understanding, which was different from other treasures. Other treasures, even the most precious ones, usually had corresponding secret methods for activation, which were actually requirements of the fundamental laws.

Therefore, among the many treasures, those that can be activated with just power are extremely rare, and all of them are precious items. Now that the headless energy body has told him that there is such a type of treasure, he naturally cares a lot about it.

Gunn arrived in the Initial Universe, entered the Vault, and tested whether the Vault contained mechanical weapons. He placed the Gluttonous Star Crossbow inside and received a reward of 27 Treasure Points, which is an extremely high price among high-level treasure weapons.

'It seems the treasure vault also recognizes its low requirements but high effectiveness.'

The Gluttonous Star Crossbow and the Coffin Demon Star were naturally left behind. As for the other treasures, Gunn left behind a set of high-grade treasure armor, a common treasure domain, and a common treasure weapon. These were prepared for Dan Chan's clone. Treasures are the most effective way to accelerate combat power. He also left behind a small number of treasures and heavy treasures, and gave the rest to the treasury. In addition, he also gave away the Golden Pelican Venerable's weapon. In total, he obtained 117 treasure points, of which 54 points came from high-grade treasures. Adding the previous 118 treasure points, he now has 235 treasure points.

Although the battle with Venerable Golden Pelican made him famous, in terms of wealth, the previous battle was far more lucrative. He captured twenty-two Universe Venerables alive, and even though he only sold fifteen of them, he still created a fortune that he couldn't match even after a thousand epochs on the Primordial Star.

Even without the covetous eyes of the alien cosmic lords, Gunn couldn't have inflicted such damage. There's no reason why any cosmic venerable would not run away upon seeing Gunn. In fact, if Gunn pursued them too frequently, other alien races would tacitly begin targeting humans. Humans, and even the Hong Alliance, are only a small part in the entire universe, not insignificant, but they are still no match for the difference in numbers where one out of ten alien venerables targets them.

Therefore, most cosmic venerables acquired wealth during their primordial star period that far exceeded ordinary levels, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration; they used it to exchange for treasures, repair their divine bodies, and purchase intelligence...

If you die, there is a very high probability that you will be directly burdened with debt.

According to statistics from the virtual universe, the highest success rate in the entire Hong Alliance for competing for treasures belongs to the universe overlords, with a success rate of 7.1%. Of this 7.1%, only one-fifth of the treasures are those that match their own level. The success rate of mid-level universe venerables in competing for treasures on the original star is only 0.25%, while the mortality rate is as high as 87%. However, if they do not participate in the battle, mid-level venerables can usually survive for 1.7 epochs and obtain more than three great treasures.

Know when to stop. Even a moderately virtuous person can find wealth and status through risky means. But if you become too greedy, you're just asking for death.

Humans, on the other hand, have increased their success rate by at least a quarter in every aspect, giving them a significant lead over other Hongmeng groups.

Gunn's success rate is already unmatched. After all, the frequency of high-level treasures appearing is too small when spread across 10081 primordial stars, and ordinary treasures are of little help and no one would deliberately try to snatch them.

At this point, Gunn slowly began to process the backlog of emails in the virtual universe.

There are emails from Virtual Universe Company confirming the approval of the application to postpone hosting the Cosmic Genius Battle and the application to resume hosting; Xuan Yi Venerable's inquiry that his friend Hei Xi Venerable's disciple wants to assist Gu En in managing a cosmic nation; and emails inviting Gu En to a certain cosmic secret realm hundreds of epochs ago, but which were later canceled.

'It's time to sort out what's on my plate.'
