A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

The last time he entered here, he didn’t understand these situations, but when he came in again this time, Lin Yang felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, this area of ​​space-time turbulence should have accumulated a lot of special resources over the years.

But now there is only the one that just appeared in front of me.

"Host, the special resources that appear in the space-time turbulence zone will be re-drawn into the space-time turbulence if they are not collected for a certain period of time. They may reappear in other turbulence zones, or they may be consumed in the endless space and time. They will not accumulate forever." The system explained.

Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "Is it so strange? Can it dissipate on its own?"

After a pause, he asked again:
“How long is this ‘certain period of time’?”

"Answer the host. The time is not fixed. Sometimes it takes several years, sometimes it takes decades. It is also possible that it will disappear in an instant if it is not collected immediately after it appears."

"Well, then, I'm pretty lucky. I've only been here for over a decade and I've already found one."

While Lin Yang was speaking, he used the power of "realm" to successfully take the transparent leaf into his hand, and then immediately retreated back into the passage of Biyuan Grottoes.

After he used the power of "realm" to collect the transparent leaves, the storm became even more violent.

"Unfortunately, we were just a little bit away from a successful breakthrough."

After retreating to the passage, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh.

A trace.

Just a little bit!

"Host, failing to break through in one fell swoop this time may not be a bad thing." The system suddenly said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lin Yang frowned.

"Host, the power you need for this breakthrough is much greater than expected. Even if you just stepped on the threshold and broke through, the remaining power and time are not enough for you to directly complete the first level of power accumulation and reach the second level."

"If I fail to break through now, I may be able to reach the second level of the Universe Breaking Realm in one fell swoop next time."

The system comforts.

Lin Yang curled his lips: "Even if I can't reach the second level in one fell swoop, I can still continue to absorb the power of heaven and earth here to break through to the second level."

"Host, it's different. According to the data from this system's comparison database, in most cases, at the moment of breakthrough, there will be some temporary special changes. The power that can be absorbed at this moment will be much greater than usual."

The system explains again:

“So it’s possible to complete successive leaps of smaller levels at the moment of breakthrough.”

“And if you fail to complete the continuous leap of small levels at the time of breakthrough, then you will need a lot of time to complete the accumulation from the first level to the second level.”

"That is to say, if you make the leap at the time of this breakthrough, it will save you a lot of time."

"So what this system just said is that your failure to achieve a breakthrough this time may not be a bad thing."

"..."

Lin Yang was silent for a moment.

This broken system now knows more about cultivation and improvement than he does.

Then, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you unlocked any new database recently?"

Previously, the system said it didn’t know anything about these things and didn’t mention any database.

Both times, the conclusions were drawn by comparing relevant data in the database. He suspected that the system should have unlocked a new information module.

It is also an information database module related to one’s own practice.

"Host, as your strength improves and some hidden conditions are met, this system will unlock some new information library modules."

The system spoke ambiguously.

"So, you did unlock the new information module?"

Lin Yang became interested and asked:
"Is it an information module about realm level cultivation? Is there any information above the ancestor?"

"Host, unfortunately, this system has not yet unlocked the relevant information module. It's just that the original database has been unlocked and some new big data has been added as you meet the conditions."

"I'm sorry that I can't provide you with information about other realms at the moment."

The system replied apologetically.

"……All right."

Lin Yang sighed, feeling that his happiness was in vain.

Just now I really thought the system had unlocked more databases.

"Host, although this system has not yet unlocked the relevant database, an option to unlock the database in advance has appeared. You can spend national treasure points to unlock it in advance."

The system followed up with this sentence.

Lin Yang rolled his eyes immediately: "I knew it!"

Now he is too lazy to complain about this damn system's obsession with charging fees!

"You saw that I killed many people from the Mingye and Lingyou tribes and had a lot of national treasures, so you wanted to find a way to make me spend it, right?"

Lin Yang looked like he saw through everything:

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it! No way!"

Yes, that's right.

His current national treasure value balance has reached an astonishing 260 billion!
More than 50 billion of these were obtained by killing people from the two tribes in the Universe of All Worlds.

The remaining 210 billion or so were all obtained by killing the people of the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan in the Wanqian Universe this time!

The number of people of the two tribes on the side of the Ten Thousand Universes is several times more than that on the side of the Ten Thousand Worlds Universe.

But after more than a hundred years of war, too many people have died.

Therefore, after destroying the two tribes except those who escaped into the ruins, he obtained national treasures worth about 210 billion.

This is the national treasure value that does not include the final settlement reward for completing the task.

It’s just the value of a national treasure for simply killing people from two tribes.

After completing the task completely, there will be a task settlement reward, but that requires killing those guys in the ruins.

More than 200 billion!

This is a huge sum of money.

An absolutely huge sum of money!
He had never been richer than he was now.

All the national treasure values ​​obtained before added together are not as much as this time.

Therefore, naturally, Lin Yang had long known that this dog system would definitely set its sights on his national treasures.

Now, as expected, this dog system began to use new information modules to lure him into consumption.

It's just...

If it were another information module, perhaps he really wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.

But let’s forget about the realm cultivation.

Although the records within the Human Alliance are incomplete and have been interrupted, we can still understand a bit by piecing them together.

Besides, when he reaches a certain level of strength, he will naturally know more.

There is no need to spend extra national treasure points to unlock this information module in advance.

Therefore, he didn't even ask how much national treasure value it would cost to unlock the module, and simply ignored this dog system.

The system, seeing that Lin Yang was not interested at all, suddenly switched to another database to lure him in:
"Host, you can also unlock the relevant information database of the special resources in the space-time turbulence zone in advance. The special resources that appear in the space-time turbulence zone are graded according to their categories, and have different functions and effects."

"If you can clearly know the detailed information of each special resource, you can maximize its utilization and avoid waste. This system believes that you need this information at present."

In response, Lin Yang just chuckled: "Heh..."

need?
He needs a fart!
These special resources do come in different categories.

But still the same sentence.

After so many years of accumulation, the effects and functions of these special resources are naturally recorded within the Human Alliance.

It may not be so comprehensive, but it is completely sufficient for him.

There is no need to waste national treasure points to unlock special resource databases.

The system went silent.

Lin Yang laughed:

"System, I wonder if you have ever heard a saying from my hometown?"

"What?" the system responded.

"As for this money, if it's less, then spend it. It's not much anyway."

Lin Yang spoke slowly:
“But when the amount reaches a certain level, looking at the long list of balances, there will be a special sense of accomplishment, and you will just want the amount to continue to increase, and will not spend it easily.”

"Do you understand it?"

"..." The system was silent.

Obviously, it doesn't understand.

"You can understand it slowly."

Lin Yang stopped talking to the system and began to study the transparent leaves in his hand.

The leaves are as thin as cicada wings, silvery white all over and almost transparent.

There is no special feeling when holding it in your hand, but when you touch it with spiritual power, you can feel a very special power hidden inside the leaves.

"This power doesn't seem to be much different from spiritual power."

Lin Yang sensed it carefully and became confused again.

The power contained in the transparent leaves was essentially not much different from the feeling that spiritual power brought him, except that there was an extra, very faint something that was difficult for him to describe.

Or rather, it's breath.

"Although this aura is unique and hard to describe, it is not a substantial power and should not be able to improve oneself."

Lin Yang whispered.

Before this, he always thought that the special resources in the space-time turbulence zone contained some power different from spiritual power, which was why the third-level ancestor could continue to improve.

But now, after personally feeling the power contained within this transparent leaf, Lin Yang became completely confused.

What can really make the ancestor's power continue to increase must be the power that is essentially the same as spiritual power, not the special aura. So...

"The power in the leaves is no different from spiritual power. The key to breaking the restrictions should be this special aura..."

Lin Yang repeatedly sensed the breath, but it was really difficult to tell what that breath was.

This is not mentioned in the records of the Human Alliance.

"It seems that I have to ask Ziyun and the others after I get out."

Lin Yang muttered something, then put away the transparent leaf.

Of course, he can also absorb the power contained in this transparent leaf at this time.

These special resources are not restricted to the third-level ancestors.

But it would be a waste to absorb it now.

After all, before reaching the third level, one can still improve naturally in the universe, and naturally no one would be so extravagant as to use these special resources to improve themselves in advance.

Then, Lin Yang estimated the time it would take for the storm in the space-time turbulence zone to subside, and then he started to wander around the Biyuan Grottoes again.

It will take at least several years for the storm in the turbulent zone to subside.

Lin Yang began to observe the murals in the caves one by one.

This cave will give a resource to those who enter it, which is also quite magical.

But even with his current strength, he still cannot discover the magical secrets of the cave.

All we can say is that everything in this cave was at least the work of a stronger being than the ancestor.

Last time he saw some images on the last sword mural in the cave passage.

The scene of a sharp sword pointing to the sky and golden blood dripping.

But this time, he didn't see anything different from the sword mural.

"Is this a one-time scene? Or does it mean that each person can only see it once?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself, examining each painting carefully.

suddenly.

When observing the third-to-last mural, the mural in front of me began to shake again.

A distorted water curtain appeared in front of Lin Yang's eyes, and ripples spread out, transforming into another scene.

In the dark space, there was a heart-pounding weird roar.

The voice was not human.

Even though it was just a scene and it didn't really happen around him, Lin Tian felt that his ears were hurt by the vibration for a moment and even bled.

But he didn't have time to wipe it off.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in the dark void.

The long sword pierced through the darkness with a dazzling light and accurately stabbed the source of the sound.

With a "buzz", the roar disappeared instantly.

The long sword soared into the sky again.

This time, Lin Yang saw a corpse on the sword.

The long sword pierced through a monster covered in black hair.

And carrying the monster's corpse, he pierced through the void again and disappeared into the sky.

The reason why it is called a monster is that although it cannot be seen clearly, Lin Yang can feel that it is something different from normal creatures.

Not some species other than humans, but something completely different from normal organisms.

The word "monster" was the concept that naturally came to his mind the moment he saw the creature covered with black hair.

Then, the water curtain broke and the space in front of him returned to normal.

"Long sword, monster..."

Lin Yang looked thoughtfully at the last scene of the sword mural:
“Is there any connection between the two?”

"Is it the same sword?"

"Are these murals a record of the same person beheading those horrible monsters?"

His eyes swept across the other murals in front of him and once again stopped on the last mural of the sharp sword.

There were still many things in the murals in front that he couldn't understand, but thinking of the scene where the sharp sword was trapped last time, Lin Yang couldn't help but speculate:
"Could it be that the powerful person recorded in this mural ultimately failed?"

"Did he record these as a warning or to convey some message?"

"But whether it is a warning or a message, how can future generations accurately grasp what he wants to express if it is so incoherent?"

Lin Yang was a little puzzled. He looked at the mural again from beginning to end, but did not see any scenes from the previous murals appear.

There is only the picture on the third-to-last mural and the picture seen on the last mural, but the information conveyed by the pictures on these two murals is not coherent at all.

"I saw the scene once when I came in last time, and I saw it again this time. Could it be that I can only see the information on one of the murals once each time I come in?"

Then, Lin Yang speculated again.

He also looked towards the space-time turbulence area a thousand meters away and decided to withdraw and try again.

The storm in the turbulence zone is still violent.

Lin Yang exited and immediately returned to the cave passage.

Then he immediately began to observe the murals.

However, this time he viewed the murals several times in succession, and spent a long time looking at each mural, but he did not see different scenes in any of them.

I even exited and re-entered several times, but still got nothing.

"It's really strange..."

In the end, Lin Yang had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​trying to see coherent information through the murals.

This thing is a bit too random.

Or maybe it's a bit too much about fate.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged a thousand meters away and began to adjust his state, waiting for the storm to end.

At the same time, I am also reviewing and organizing some of my recent gains.

Suddenly, Lin Yang thought of something:

"System, the last time I was here, I received many tasks requiring me to repair and protect the source fire."

"There are many tasks that I cannot complete for the time being, but one of them requires me to replenish the energy of the source fire once every five hundred years."

"Now, may I add something?"

The last time was his first time stepping into the space-time turbulence zone a thousand meters away, and he accidentally ignited the source fire.

This resulted in a series of tasks that were difficult for him to complete.

He still cannot complete many of these tasks.

But replenishing the source fire energy is possible.

With more than 200 billion worth of national treasures, it can be replenished no matter what.

Upon hearing this, the system immediately said:

"Yes, host, you can now fully recharge the source fire. How much national treasure value do you want to use to recharge it?"

"...When you heard that you had to spend national treasure points, why did you sound so much more excited?"

Lin Yang grinned and said:
"Let's charge 10 billion first. That should be enough, right?"

"Okay, host, the corresponding national treasure value has been deducted to recharge the source fire once."

The system was very decisive. It deducted the national treasure value directly without even giving Lin Yang time to reply.

"...You are so...I am too lazy to say anything to you..."

Lin Yang was really too lazy to talk.

This damn system, when deducting national treasure points, moves as fast as a hungry strong man seeing a sexy beauty lying on the bed waiting for him.

It only takes one second.

After a pause, Lin Yang thought of several other tasks and was about to ask again.

But suddenly the system issued a shrill alarm.

"warn!"

"Host, please be advised that while this system was charging the source fire, it detected that an abnormal creature was attacking the barrier!"

"This system has detected that the boundary barrier of this universe is under attack. The alert level has been raised to "critical" level!"

"drop!"

"drop!"

"drop!"

Along with the system's urgent words, three extremely harsh warning broadcasts almost pierced Lin Yang's eardrums.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang noticed that the voice of the intelligent system module disappeared, and the task was taken over by the underlying task system module. A mechanical and emotionless voice sounded indifferently:
"This system has detected an extreme danger warning: the barrier is under attack by unknown creatures. Please take emergency measures in time. If the barrier is destroyed, this universe will be at risk of destruction."

"..."

Lin Yang was stunned for a moment.

What does the system say?
The barrier is under attack, is there a possibility that the universe will be destroyed? ?

What's the situation?
"System, what are you..."

Lin Yang couldn't help but ask.

However, the emotionless voice of the underlying task module continued to broadcast on its own.

Lin Yang's eyes became more serious.
