The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

While waiting for this opportunity, Han Xing looked at the others and said, "Let's all search together and see if there are any other treasures in this palace."

Although, the place they were in was a trap.

But common sense tells us that the more dangerous a place is, the more amazing opportunities it holds!
Moreover, if there really was nothing inside, it would be impossible to arrange for a powerful mid-level god to guard it.

Therefore... there is a high probability that there are some precious treasures inside this palace.

The others realized this as well and quickly scattered to search.

The group immediately dispersed and searched carefully throughout the palace.

Tu Gang strode forward with heavy, metallic steps, each step producing a clanging sound.

He went to the west side of the palace, tapping the wall lightly with his thick fingers and occasionally kicking a pillar.

The Great Beast Lord transformed into the form of a thunder beast and traversed back and forth across the palace dome.

Others also released their divine senses, searching carefully in all directions.

Just then, Little Coal Ball suddenly darted out of the shadows and appeared in front of Han Xing, its little paws excitedly scratching at the ground, its eyes gleaming.

Seeing its expression, Han Xing seemed to realize something and asked, "Oh? Little Coal Ball, did you find something?"

"Ouch~!"

Little Coal Ball nodded excitedly, then flashed away and arrived at a corner of the palace.

Seeing this, Han Xing hesitated for a moment before quickly following.

Meanwhile, in the corner, Little Coal Ball kept stretching out its claws and scratching at what looked like an ordinary wall.

Others were also drawn to Coal Ball's unusual behavior and cast curious glances at him.

When the Korean star came to its side, Coal Ball suddenly used its sharp teeth to bite a brick in the wall and pulled hard.

With a "click"!
Suddenly, the entire wall rippled like water, revealing a hidden compartment.

Inside lay a completely black metal box, its surface covered with mysterious patterns.

Upon seeing this, the Korean star's eyes lit up instantly!
"Huh? A box?"

With excitement in his heart, he subconsciously reached out to take the box out.

Just as he was about to touch the box, the patterns on it suddenly lit up with a scarlet light, and a terrifying power erupted!

However, the Korean star's expression remained unchanged in the face of this oppressive aura.

With a single press of one hand, he subdued him completely.

Then, he grabbed one corner of the box and pulled hard.

"Rumble..."

A violent tremor resounded, as if the metal treasure chest was connected to the entire hall, causing it to shake violently!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the treasure chest was forcibly pulled out by Han Xing using brute force.

With a loud "bang!"
The metal box then appeared in front of him.

At this moment, everyone gathered around, staring at the box with curiosity.

The Great Beast Lord crouched down and asked in confusion, "What a strange box. The material on it is one I've never seen before. It can actually block the detection of a God-level being."

"What's inside is probably something special!"

He paused, then looked at Qinghe and Yaolian beside him: "Do you recognize this kind of box?"

The two women exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

Qinghe said softly, "I don't recognize it, but there seems to be some kind of seal on it that requires a corresponding key to open."

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads to look.

Sure enough, there was a groove in the very center of the box that looked like a keyhole.

Seeing this, everyone frowned again.

"It really does require a specific key..."

Tu Gang scratched his metal head. "Where are we going to find this key?"

Just then, Miaoqing's voice came from afar: "My lord, over here."

"I found a key next to this chain!"

Everyone quickly turned to look, and immediately spotted a figure wearing a pink tulle dress.

She gently raised her hand, revealing an ancient bronze key.

Seeing this, Han Xing smiled and said, "Miao Qing, well done."

"Give me the key."

"Yes, my benefactor."

Miao Qing's figure flashed in the distance, and in just a moment, she arrived beside everyone.

He then handed the bronze key in his hand to Han Xing.

[Obtained: Key to the Bronze Hall]

...

Upon seeing the system notification, Han Xing's gaze remained unchanged.

Then, he stepped forward and used the key in his hand to poke into the keyhole of the box, and turned it gently!
With a soft "click," the lid of the box slowly opened.

The moment a crack opened, everyone felt an extremely rich aura of origin!

It seems to contain a vast amount of primordial treasures!
When the lid of the box was fully opened, they stared at what was inside and were all visibly shocked!

Because at the bottom of the treasure chest, there are stones that emit an earthy yellow light and contain endless primordial energy!
This stone looks similar to the [Earth God Stone], but it contains a much stronger primal power.

Based on what Qinghe had said earlier, everyone had already guessed the identity of this stone.

Clearly, this is an advanced version of the Earth God Stone: the Chaos God Stone!
Qinghe exclaimed, "Just as Brother Han Xing predicted, such a dangerous place contains astonishing opportunities!"

"There are roughly over a hundred Chaos God Stones here."

"If they were outside, their value would be at least equivalent to more than ten thousand [Earth God Stones]!"

Upon hearing the number announced by Qinghe, everyone on the field gasped in shock.

After all, the significance of ten thousand [Earth God Stones] is self-evident!

Even after winning first place in the Southern Region's Heavenly Pride Battle Tournament, Han Xing only received 300 [Earth God Stones]!
Their first reward upon arriving in this secret realm was equivalent to dozens of times the prize money awarded to the first-place winner.

Even with the composure of a Korean star, excitement shone in his eyes at this moment.

He exclaimed, "Indeed, secret realms like this are the places of opportunity for the Lord Continent."

"The resources contained within are enough to drive countless lords from the outside world mad."

"No wonder all the major powers keep these secret realms firmly under their control and do not allow outsiders to enter."

The others nodded in agreement.

However, Linghui, who was standing next to him, said coldly, "If you want to take the treasures from the secret realm, you need to have enough strength."

"If it weren't for you, any other mid-level God Lord would probably have perished here."

Qinghe chimed in, "Yes... to gain great profits, you have to bear great risks."

"In other parts of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, there are also some [Chaos Divine Stones] and [Primordial Breath Soil] that can be found."

"But it's rare for so many cases to occur at once like this."

Han Xing nodded slightly; he knew that treasure chests like these couldn't be found everywhere.

Their gaze remained fixed on the treasure chest.

Besides these Chaos Stones, three other items were piled up on top.

A jet-black crystal, an ancient book gleaming with blood, and a yellowed parchment scroll.

Filled with anticipation, he swept everything inside clean. [Obtained: Chaos God Stone * 105]

[Obtained: Dark Dragon Crystal]

[Obtained: Fragment of the Forbidden Dragon Spell]

[Obtained: Random Intermediate God-level Hero Recruitment Scroll]

...

At this moment, a look of shock reappeared in Han Xing's eyes!

"Holy crap, there's actually a recruitment scroll for a mid-level God Lord!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked on in astonishment, staring incredulously at the scroll in his hand.

After all, putting everything else aside, the mere mention of 'intermediate-level god lord' was enough to shock them.

The Great Beast Lord murmured, "Legend has it that in the ancient times of the Lord Continent, a group of supreme experts sealed away various powerful figures and then made them into scrolls that were distributed throughout the world."

"Those who obtain such scrolls can summon them through the scrolls to become the new heroes of the territory."

"I never expected... Brother Han Xing would actually obtain one here, and it's even at the level of a mid-level God Lord!"

His voice was filled with intense envy.

Even the others looked on with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or regret).

After all, it goes without saying how powerful a mid-level God Lord is.

This will greatly enhance the strength of any lord present!
Of course... the premise is that you are strong enough to suppress the summoned heroes.

Otherwise, if the other party sees that you are too weak, they will leave soon even if they join your territory.

At this moment, the iron-clad Tu Gang asked, "Benefactor, do you intend to use this scroll here?"

Upon hearing this question, Han Xing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after we get out. This scroll is random, and we don't know the character of the guy inside yet."

"If it's an unruly individual, not only will they be unable to provide combat power, but they might also become a problem."

After listening, everyone nodded in agreement.

Clearly, the Korean stars' concerns are quite valid.

So he put the scroll into his backpack and began to examine the other two items.

Dark Dragon Crystal

[Quality: Mid-tier God Lord Level]

[Item Description: A crystal that condenses the purest dark power within the Dark Dragon's body; it is the primary material used to forge mid-tier Origin Sacred Artifacts.]

...

...

[Dragon Language Forbidden Spell - Fragment]

[Quality: Unknown (All three volumes must be collected for evaluation)]

[Currently included forbidden spells:]
1. "Dragon's Fall - Sky Collapse" (Fragment): Summons a phantom of a meteor dragon, dealing devastating damage to enemies within range (requires Dragon Bloodline to activate).
2. "Dark Erosion: Eternal Night Prison" (Fragment): Creates an absolute dark domain, imprisoning the target's five senses and spiritual energy (requires the power of the dark source to activate).

[Missing section: Name and effect of the third forbidden spell (2/3)]

[Warning: Forcibly activating the incomplete forbidden spell will result in a backlash from the Dragon Soul]

...

...

After reviewing the attributes of these two props, a look of surprise flashed across the Korean star's eyes once again!

"Hmm? This dragon crystal is actually a material used to forge mid-level Origin Sacred Artifacts. What a treasure!"

After all, although his current equipment is a complete set of holy artifacts, its level is too low.

We need to find higher-level relic equipment and let them devour it.

In this way, the level of the relic can be increased while retaining the set effect!
However, while it sounds simple, finding a high-level sacred object is not an easy task.

So far, the only Korean star to have received a necklace was as a prize for first place after a competition.

With this dragon crystal, he could then find a way to forge another piece of equipment for his own sacred object to absorb.

Thinking of this, he nodded in satisfaction.

As for the later book, "Dragon Language Forbidden Spells"...

After thinking for a moment, Han Xing simply tossed it to Long Yu.

"Wow..."

The ancient-looking book arced through the air, and Long Yu caught it instinctively.

When she turned the page and saw the forbidden dragon incantation recorded on it, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"This...this is...this is!"

"A forbidden spell of the Dragon Clan?!"

Upon hearing the 'forbidden spell of the dragon race,' everyone turned their gazes toward it.

A look of delight appeared on the face of the large beast beside him: "A forbidden spell of the Dragon Clan! What a treasure, my dear daughter!"

"Forbidden spells of this level generally possess world-destroying power, even comparable to god-level combat techniques, but with a much wider range!"

"I have always wanted to find some forbidden spells of the dragon race for you, but I have never had the chance."

"I never expected it to appear here."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with realization, understanding the importance of this forbidden spell.

Long Yu, however, seemed hesitant, clearly because this forbidden spell book was too valuable and she was hesitant to accept it.

Han Xing could naturally see through her thoughts and chuckled, "Keep it. You're the only mage here, and you're of dragon blood."

"If you don't want it, no one else will need it."

Long Yu pondered for a moment, then bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.

After allocating these resources, the Korean star began to examine something else.

A flash of light appeared on his right hand, and an ancient, earthy-yellow stone appeared, emanating a rich aura of origin.

It was the Chaos Stone that Linghui had mentioned, a divine object equal to 100 Earth God Stones.

He quickly glanced at the attributes.

【Chaos Divine Stone】

【Quality: Special】

[Item Description: A divine stone containing the profound essence of chaos, found in small quantities in large 'Earth Divine Stone' mines. It can greatly increase the territory's resources and the defense of all members, and can also activate special abilities.]

【Item Effect 1: When integrated into your territory, it increases the territory's area by 1% and increases the probability of rare mineral vein production by 1% (maximum of 100 items can be added)】

【Item Effect 2: When integrated into the territory, it increases the armor of all creatures in the territory by 1% and their constitution by 2% (maximum of 100 items can be added)】

[Item Effect 3: After the territory absorbs 100 'Chaos Stones', all hero units, including the lord, will activate the special ability 'Chaos Armor'!]

(Note: The effects of this Chaos Stone can be stacked with those of the Earth Stone.)
...

After reading the properties of this divine stone, Han Xing was overjoyed.

"Good heavens, as expected of an advanced version of the Earth God Stone, the effects of this Chaos God Stone are indeed powerful!"

The effects of increasing territory area and increasing the probability of rare mineral vein production are self-evident; they are similar to the effects of the [Earth God Stone], except that the increase is higher.

The second effect is several times more powerful than the Earth God Stone!

It can not only increase armor by up to 100%, but also increase constitution by 200%!
