Chapter 973 Departure and Fall: The Sacred Heart's Invitation (3K views, please vote!)

As for what happens next, Gao Yang does not intend to stay in the Realm of Oblivion any longer.

There are far more gods in this world than in ordinary planes, which also means that the waters of this world are unfathomable. Now that his goal has been achieved, there is no reason for him to wade into these muddy waters.

The journey was smooth, and Gao Yang found You Miao and Phil in that coastal city.

Then, Gao Yang took out the access token and activated it.

The pass token emitted a faint light that enveloped the group, and the next moment, a subtle repulsive force appeared on Gao Yang and the others.

The repulsive force gradually increased, and when it reached a limit, Gao Yang and the others instantly disappeared from their original spot, having been expelled by the Realm of Oblivion.

In the void of the astral plane, a floating city drifts quietly.

Suddenly, the waves dispersed, and several figures appeared not far from the floating city.

Gao Yang reached out and grabbed You Miao and Phil, then carried them towards the floating city without stopping.

As extraordinary beings, they do not yet possess the ability to move freely within the astral void.

A moment later, Gao Yang and the others landed on a floor made of magic crystals.

"Huh~ I'm finally back."

After Yu Miao's feet touched the ground of the floating city, he let out a long breath and sighed, "The pressure in the Forgotten Realm was too great. That feeling of losing my memories at any moment was really unbearable."

Phil glanced at him, said nothing, and simply flew towards the place where he was cultivating, not wanting to waste even a second.

Seeing this, You Miao scratched the back of his head, then said something to Gao Yang before leaving to continue his cultivation.

"Meow~ Gao Yang, I need to get some sleep."

Milofina yawned and flew toward the Chrogo tree.

After the three left, Gao Yang's body transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared in the villa in an instant.

Gao Yang returned to the bedroom, looked at the familiar scene and furnishings, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then walked towards the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Gao Yang emerged from the bathroom, his bare upper body still steaming.

After a quick wash, I felt much refreshed.

This is his little habit. Every time he returns, the feeling after washing up is as if the cause and effect and dust he has accumulated during his experiences have been washed away by the water.

Without making any unnecessary movements, Gao Yang simply threw himself onto the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The astral void has no clear concept of time, but intelligent beings each possess their own biological clock.

After sleeping for a full twelve hours, Gao Yang slowly opened his eyes, a subtle and restrained golden light flashing in them.

Clearly, he slept very well.

He let out a long sigh and got out of bed.

A moment later, in the restaurant on the first floor, Gao Yang sat at the table, quietly enjoying a simple meal of cold toad and a bottle of strong liquor.

After spending some time resolving the breakfast issue, Gao Yang's previously stalled brain finally started working again.

The biggest gain from this journey to the Forgotten Realm is already in hand: that unknown unique specialty. Although it still needs a little time to develop, that little bit of time is not a problem.

In contrast, he was more interested in knowing exactly what effect this unknown and unique specialty would have.

However, this cannot be rushed. Gao Yang glanced at the condensation time of this unique specialty and found that it would only take five and a half days to condense.

Gao Yang took out the Life Essence Crystals he had obtained from the legendary enemies he had killed in the Realm of Oblivion from his inventory.

Although Gao Yang didn't kill many legendary figures, he did collect a total of twenty-seven Life Essence Crystals, with some legendary figures contributing slightly more.

He divided the primordial crystals in front of him into two parts. Ten of them, the Life Primordial Crystals, were to be given to Milofina as spoils of war. This pure life primordial power was extremely beneficial and precious to any legendary professional.

The reason is simple: only legendary beings can produce this kind of thing, and it requires the life of a legendary powerhouse as raw material.

Furthermore, this method of production requires a god who has the authority to hunt gods to complete it.

A legendary expert can only produce at least one, and at most three to five.

A single Life Essence Crystal can increase the life force of an ordinary legendary professional by 8% to 10%, which is an extremely exaggerated increase.

Although this increase will decrease as the legendary professional's strength improves, it should be noted that there is no limit to the number of Life Essence Crystals that can be used.

It is important to know that primordial vitality is often equated with the life strength and lifespan of an organism. The stronger the primordial vitality, the longer the lifespan will be, and the higher the activity level of the physical body will be.

If the crystallized essence of life were to be revealed, many legendary powerhouses in the multiverse with little life left would absolutely go mad for it.

An 8% increase in one's original vitality is essentially equivalent to extending one's lifespan by 8%.

Legendary professionals have long lifespans; even a single-digit percentage is still hundreds or thousands of years longer than the base lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Needless to say, the crystallization of the life essence does not simply extend lifespan, but also enhances the strength of the life essence. This means that the aging life essence will regain its youth because of it.

In short, it's about rejuvenation. The production method is extremely scarce, the raw materials are extremely precious, and the product's functions are extremely exaggerated. It's impossible to get the crystallized essence of life cheap.

With this in mind, the value of the crystallization of the origin of life should be easy to understand.

In other words, Gao Yang has not yet considered selling the Life Essence Crystal. If he were to sell it, this alone would bring him immense wealth and resources.

Gao Yang placed the ten Life Essence Crystals into a wooden box, then casually picked up one and began refining it by wrapping it in his battle qi.

A moment later, Gao Yang opened his eyes. He had already refined the crystal of the origin of life.

Compared to the nearly 3% improvement brought by the first absorption of the Life Essence Crystal, the improvement brought by this absorption of the Life Essence Crystal is only a mere 1.1%, a significant decrease.

After all, he had already absorbed dozens of life essence crystals, and he was quite satisfied with the significant increase he could still achieve after absorbing dozens of them.

It absorbed another crystal of life essence, but this time the increase was only 1%.

Gao Yang looked at the remaining fifteen crystals of life essence, thought for a moment, and then decided not to absorb any more.

Firstly, the refinement of the two life essence crystals will increase his life force, which requires him to fully digest it, and this will take some time. Secondly, the improvement is already very slight, and the effort and the reward are not proportional.

Rather than doing that, it's better to keep it. If you encounter some urgently needed treasures in the future, you'll have the leverage to exchange for them.

As strength increases, the purchasing power of network currencies like the Disaster Coin and even Magic Crystals is constantly decreasing. On the contrary, the most primitive barter system is being used more and more.

Often, the value of the items he needs cannot be measured in Crossnet Coins or Magic Crystals. In such cases, the only option is to offer items that both parties need and are satisfied with in order to facilitate the transaction.

Gao Yang put the remaining life essence crystals into another black wooden box, and then took out the newly acquired divine spark.

Looking at the divine spark in his hand, Gao Yang took out Yongyao and slapped it onto the blade of Yongyao.

For him, the divine sparks are not very useful. Currently, only the otherworldly god Yongyao needs them.

After absorbing the divine spark, Yongyao's basic stats and abilities will be improved. For Gaoyang, this improvement means that his attack power will also increase exponentially.

Most importantly, His divine power will also be enhanced to a certain extent.

The most direct manifestation of this is that after the hunting of the gods is initiated, the amount of spoils plundered increases to a certain extent.

Therefore, feeding the Divine Spark to Yongyao is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way.

Divine sparks struck the Eternal Radiance sword, which emitted a slightly joyful sword cry before quickly absorbing the divine sparks into its blade.

In just a few seconds, the divine sparks were completely absorbed into the sword body by Yongyao and began to be fused and digested.

Seeing this, Gao Yang put away Yongyao, then turned to look at the training ground, intending to begin his daily training.

Just then, he paused slightly as a friend window appeared in front of his retina—a message from Meteor Saint Heart.

"Brother Gao Yang, do you have time? Let's meet on the multiverse player social platform."

Gao Yang's eyes flickered for a moment before he replied, "No problem, just a moment."

The message was sent, and Yun Shengxin quickly replied with an address on a social media platform, or rather, the location of a store.

Gao Yang glanced at it, then summoned the comprehensive network interface and selected to enter the player social platform.

As his consciousness faded, Gao Yang appeared at the entrance of a tavern the next moment.

Today, Gao Yang is no longer the newbie who first came to the player social platform and needed a guide to move around freely.

He effortlessly pushed open the door of the tavern and skillfully entered the address coordinates into a machine resembling an ATM by the roadside. After paying a transfer fee of one hundred Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins, his consciousness was instantly sucked into the machine.

The next second, the scenery in front of Gao Yang changed, and a three-story red brick building appeared in front of him.

He looked around. It was quiet. A straight asphalt road stretched to the end of his vision. In front of him was another teleportation machine.

This area should clearly be a private area.

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the building in front of him, which was constructed of red bricks.

The building is predominantly Gothic in style, with tall arches and columns serving as both support and decoration. Two large, silver-gray doors are half-open, revealing complete darkness behind them, making it impossible to see anything inside from the outside.

Just then, the hearty voice of Fallen Saint Heart came from the second-floor window:

"Haha, Brother Gao Yang, you've arrived! I've come to pick you up."

Gao Yang looked up and saw the upper body of Yun Shengxin leaning out of the second-floor window, a smile on his face.

Before he could finish speaking, he had already appeared at the building's entrance.

Meteor Saint Heart stepped out of the gate and strode up to Gao Yang. He punched Gao Yang's solid chest, producing a soft boom.

"Although contacting you this time was a bit abrupt, believe me, it's definitely a good thing."

“Of course, I still trust Brother Shengxin,” Gao Yang replied with a smile.

"Go inside and talk."

As Yun Shengxin spoke, she put her arm around Gao Yang's shoulder and walked towards the building's entrance.
