Chapter 400. The Treasure Trove of the Supreme Treasure: The Philosopher's Stone

After the Silver Sea Pearl Shell fully opened, its hidden power, "contaminated" by the Treasure of Time, instantly revealed itself.

【Silver Sea Pearl Shell: An Incomplete Ending】

This magical beast was once blessed by the "Treasure of Time," giving birth to countless lives in the ocean dimension. It finds solace in its duty and desires an even longer life.

The "Treasure of Time" responded to its wish, creating an eternally unfinishable pearl within its body, imprinted with the Treasure's unique miracle magic, the "Complete Ceasefire." Only when the Ceasefire is completed will life continue to flow.

This blessing is extremely close to "eternity," even surpassing "a hymn to eternity."

Kroa gazed at the point where the Silver Sea Pearl Shell and the mermaid who had turned into a pearl connected, where an unfinished rest pattern, undetectable even by the most precious artifacts, was slowly radiating a black halo, transforming them into a form frozen in time.

"Is the full power of this treasure... close to greatness?" He observed for a while and then suddenly asked.

Miya and Qiya exchanged a glance, and it was the former who explained, "They will get infinitely close to greatness, but they will never be able to reach it. That is a completely different boundary. No one in the current Astral Plane has reached that level yet."

"Just like mortals and legends."

"But why do I feel that the power of the Time Treasure is already great?" He pointed to the "blessed" mermaid: "His eternity is even more advanced than mine."

This refers, of course, to eternal hymns.

"what?"

"what?"

Both treasures simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

Their life forms were fixed at the moment of their birth, and it was absolutely impossible for them to reach the level of greatness. Although there were some differences in the three attributes of spacetime illusion, it was absolutely impossible for them to be that great.

They are more like three sides of the same coin.

"It's probably His miracle magic. I remember there's something called 'God' in the core loop of the Treasure of Time, which allows you to temporarily become a god."

"The only thing that can make us call God is greatness."

Qi Ya's memories and database were relatively complete. After pondering for a while, she suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "You can sense her power, so we can intervene!"

"When He enters the state of the supreme being, He cannot refuse our demands, and we can take the opportunity to reclaim some authority."

"Hey!" Qi Ya became more and more excited as she spoke, reaching out to grab Mi Ya's hand: "The Holy Spring Merchant Guild took away Sage Mi Ya's Philosopher's Stone, don't you want to get it back?"

"Of course I want to."

"Nothing will happen between me and Chloe. Space can block everything, but your traces will definitely remain. Fantasy will fade in the face of time."

"Aren't you afraid of His revenge?"

"The songstress—that's the core loop that Star Entertainment has always wanted."

Qi Ya was very surprised: "You could actually see my wish?"

The fundamental law of the Ring of Radiance is "fulfilling wishes," so He can hear wishes. However, the problem is that Qi Ya is a phantom god, another supreme treasure, and should theoretically be unable to hear them.

Oh right, why am I suddenly able to hear the treasure's wish? I haven't had any desire for wishes lately.

Miya was slightly taken aback, and was about to answer.

"Teacher," Kroya suddenly spoke up, "what is the Philosopher's Stone?"

When he asked this question, Miya didn't answer Qiya, but instead explained, "The Philosopher's Stone is a stone made by the sage Miya who created me using a special substance. It has the same function as the Philosopher's Stone that often appears in mysticism."

Turning stone into gold, curing diseases, and granting immortality.

However, this Philosopher's Stone is the complete version, capable of turning stones into primordial gold, curing all diseases, and granting immortality.

"The reason why the Holy Spring Merchant Guild was able to firmly control almost the entire trade chain of the Star Realm is because the Treasure of Time obtained the Philosopher's Stone, which represents primordial gold, through some method."

"They probably don't need the Philosopher's Stone anymore, but it's the only relic of Sage Miya, and I hope to retrieve it."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Hui Zhihuan's face.

Upon hearing this, Kroya asked again, "Is the Philosopher's Stone the only one representing the primordial gold? Are there any others? If we're going to do it, we should make it big!"

"..."

How can they be even crazier than us?

"The rest no longer exist."

Miya thought of something less pleasant and looked at Qiya: "If I ask my apprentice to help, I need you to give me some compensation... Let's completely hand over the ocean to Dolphin."

"it is good."

The illusory god didn't think much of it, just remained silent, took out a dolphin pendant, and handed it to Kroya: "I originally planned to give you this plane as a gift..."

"Then give me one more," Miya said without any politeness.

The illusory god then fell silent.

After Kroya accepted the pendant, she said, "Although you gave it to me, I will still keep the doors open for the merfolk. You can take whatever you need."

Anyone can say polite words, and besides, Kroya didn't really want the pendant, but Miya gave him a wink, making him swallow his refusal.

Is there something you can't say?

……

Soon, Kroya finished imprinting the power of the two treasures, Miya and Qiya, inside the Star Spirit body of the Silver Sea Pearl Shell. This magical and powerful spell was able to penetrate the power of the "great" Treasure of Time.

This is strange, but it doesn't matter now.

The key was that the two treasures simultaneously unleashed their power, forcefully opening a portal—a pitch-black portal—from that almost solidified eternity.

Then the two treasures stood on either side of Kroya behind him, transforming into the platinum-gold ring behind his head and a suit of azure armor. Their voices rang out from his heart: "Once you have obtained the Philosopher's Stone and the Songstress's Path, retreat immediately."

"OK."

Just as Kroya was about to step inside, a snow-white dolphin suddenly rushed over, jumped between his legs, and lifted him up.

"Chirp chirp!" the snow dolphin made a sound, then carried him directly into the black portal in a flash.

Death is certainly related to time.

Frozen snowflakes surrounded Kroya's body, and with the power of the two treasures, he was able to move smoothly even after entering this rift in time.

And the first thing he saw...was a gushing spring—

Seven springs flowed around a pitch-black box, extending into the infinite depths. The seven springs clearly contained different powerful laws, like a flowing sea of ​​stars, containing countless rare treasures that shimmered with different colors of light.

That was the weight and glitter of "money".

With just one glance, Kroya felt his mental energy freeze. If it weren't for the timely rescue by the light of the Ring of Radiance, he would probably have suffered a great deal.

Miya's voice was unusually serious:

Don't look.

"Leave immediately after finding the item."

"This is the source of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild's springs. It is definitely not just the power of the Time Treasure. Who knows how many treasures and miracles they have accumulated over countless years?"

Kroya was obedient, but when her peripheral vision caught sight of one of the sacred springs, the Celestial Body Imprint suddenly activated:

The Sun's Lyre: Medicine

This magical beast once followed a radiant god, under whose hands it played songs that could heal diseases, especially "mental illnesses."

Over countless years, it received the blessing of the Protoss and acquired a fragment of the sun-scorched disease.

When it is performed again, the performer will receive a fragment of the "Protoss Immaculate Sun".

Great Apollo, God of Light, Medicine, Music, and Prophecy—how can I touch Your long fingers again and feel Your boundless glory?

"...There's something wrong with this harp!" he couldn't help but think to himself. If it weren't for that last line of explanation, it would still be considered a divine artifact, but with that, it suddenly had a strange feeling.

He had already looked away, but for some reason, he couldn't help but look back again, and saw a silver torch next to the harp.

Artemis's Silver Torch

This magical plant originates from Artemis's ability to illuminate the night. Holding this plant allows one to see all dangers in any dark place.

This demonic plant possesses the divine blood of Artemis before her death, and it yearns for revenge against its master, for revenge against Apollo.

Artemis, the pure goddess, you are the goddess of the moon, the forest and the hunt, you are the goddess of flawless purity, you are the goddess who was killed by the sun.

I will curse all beings that yearn for the warmth of the sunlight, and I will send them to your divine kingdom, to the depths of the ether.

"Huh? Artemis? Isn't that Apollo's twin sister? It seems like it's been so long, I really haven't heard anything about her."

"Was he killed by Apollo?"

This turn of events was truly unexpected for him, and the last sentence was particularly chilling upon closer examination, immediately reminding him of the Ether Rift Disease. If these things were controlled by the Holy Spring Merchant Guild…

Doesn't that mean the Ether Rift Disease was created by the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce?

A chamber of commerce creating a disease as incurable as Ether Rift Disease—it's easy to guess what they're up to.

But the question is, is that really the case?

he does not know.

The current situation did not give him time to think things through carefully.

The snow dolphin had leaped into an extremely secluded stream, inaccessible without the guidance of a precious treasure, where the water was pitch black.

Two beams of light shone brightly in the flowing water.

One was a bright red stone, and the other was a silver stone. They were frozen in time until Kroya reached out and grabbed them, at which point they regained their original luster.

"Oh, it's that simple?"

This made Chloe wonder if she was hallucinating.

He originally thought that he would have to cause a big scene when he came in, and even have to fight the Time Treasure, but he didn't expect to get it directly.

Qi Ya's voice was filled with a joyful laugh.

"With the two of us here, it would be normal for things to go smoothly."

"But it's time to leave."

A portal interwoven with platinum and silver appeared, and Kroya rode his dolphin straight in without any hesitation—taking this thing was fine, but if he stole other things, the Treasures of Time might riot, which would be troublesome.

I can always find a way to buy it when I get back.

Surely the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce can't just stop doing business?

……

As Kroya rode away on the dolphin with the spoils, the stream rippled for a moment, followed by the sound of the Time Treasure:

"Those two guys actually came."

"You could have just asked me for it, but you had to steal it."

"Sigh... I even bestowed a blessing upon that little seashell."

His voice carried a clear sense of grievance, and the surrounding water swayed gently, but no matter what he did, it could not create a ripple, just as time could neither stop nor flow backward.

After a long while, His voice continued: "Solon Spring, the deal with Kroya is entrusted to you. He should be coming to buy something soon."

Let's give him the harp through a lottery.

I just hope he can handle Apollo's... sycophancy.

A sacred spring shimmered slightly, as if in response.

Time continues to flow, as always.

……

the other side.

The dolphin crossed the door and returned to the snowy seabed.

The entire adventure lasted less than a minute, and they obtained a Philosopher's Stone representing "gold" and a core loop called "Songstress" from the Illusionary Radiance.

Incidentally, it also helped the seashell remove the mark of the Time Treasure. After the power of the two treasures created a gap, it directly dispelled the unfinished rest.

The Silver Sea Pearl Shell's vitality was rapidly disappearing. Without the "blessing," its life should have come to an end long ago, and even Qi Ya's attempts to keep it alive could not save it.

It quickly dissipated completely, turning into ashes.

The ash, translucent like round pearls, flowed in the seawater, drifting towards various locations on the ocean plane, and finally shone with a bright light.

As for the priestess of Qi Ya, she accepted Qi Ya's offer to stay and entered the Mermaid Clan's womb to reshape her body, intending to start a new life.

That makes perfect sense.

Fortunately, the mother-of-pearl left behind a pearl to comfort the life it had given birth to before it left, so no major changes occurred, and the world continued to develop steadily.

Kroya watched as Kia opened the portal and left. He had originally wanted to talk to his teacher about the Philosopher's Stone, but the snow dolphin suddenly nudged him with its mouth.

"What are you going to do?"

He didn't have any particular thoughts about the dolphin that had just been fighting to the death; he was just curious about what it was going to do.

"Take me to your ocean."

"I smell the scent of my kind on you; it's the sea dolphin."

He deftly nudged the dolphin pendant from Chloe's hand with his mouth: "I want to see my kind and return to the ocean where I was born."

"this……"

Kroa glanced at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and decided to deal with the stone's problem first.
