Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian watched with great interest, and even felt a little smug.

After a while, he closed the chat channel, thinking to himself: It seems that the identity of Saint Gamir can no longer be used.

It doesn't matter.

I just met so many level 999 guys, I'll just change my identity from now on.

With a heart full of deceit, he can become whoever he wants. Today an angel, tomorrow a demon, the day after a titan—who can catch him?

Now that we're back, let's not go back yet. We don't want to run into those guys if they haven't left yet.

He first stored the sorted items away, and then he took out a small octagonal box.

The Cup of Gluttony.

Liu Nian took a deep breath and began feeding the equipment.

When the first legendary item was thrown in, a low hum came from inside the box. The item melted like ice, turning into dark golden energy that flowed slowly within the box.

the second one.

The third piece.

Fourth piece.

……

With each piece of equipment thrown in, the energy inside the box increased in concentration and brightness. Dark golden light shone through the cracks in the box, illuminating the entire room in a golden glow.

Although Liu Nian threw it away decisively, he was actually quite reluctant. After all, those were legendary equipment! One piece could be auctioned off for at least tens of thousands of crystal coins! Now he was feeding them to this greedy little cup piece by piece.

But the thought of getting an Eternal Gem made him grit his teeth and endure it.

The fifteenth item.

The eighteenth item.

The twentieth item!

The moment the twentieth legendary item was swallowed, the Gluttony Cup abruptly shut itself!

With a "click," the lid closed, sealing the box perfectly.

Then, the entire box trembled violently, making a gurgling sound like a heartbeat. Dark golden energy burst forth from every crack in the box, forming ripples throughout the room.

The vibration lasted for about ten seconds.

Then the box fell silent.

Liu Nian held his breath and carefully opened the box lid.

Sure enough, a gem was found inside.

Seven-colored light shone from the gemstone, casting a dreamlike glow on the walls of the room.

Liu Nian immediately took out the gemstone and held it in his hands.

【Name: Ancestral Land Ascension】

【Quality: Eternal】

[Type: Gemstone (One-time Use)]

[Description: Raises the level cap of the region from 99 to 199. After use, all resources, monsters, and dungeons in the region will be upgraded to the corresponding level.]

Liu Nian stared at the description and remained silent for a full half minute.

Then he frowned.

I feel like I got ripped off!

This is likely fantastic news for all players in the Divine Dragon Guild—the increased level cap in the competition zone means they can now reach level 199 within the zone without having to compete with larger guilds for territory in the Abyss Realm. With resources, monsters, and dungeons all upgraded, the development potential of the competition zone has multiplied several times over.

But for him...

This has absolutely nothing to do with him!

For him, things that enhance individual attributes are good, but things that enhance the entire region are even better...

Forget it, this thing is a permanent item after all. Let Wu Zhan handle it from now on!

Liu Nian sighed and put the gemstone into his backpack.

He took a deep breath and composed himself.

Next, is the main event.

He took out the Eternal Weapon Forging Scroll from his backpack.

The scroll gleamed with a faint golden light, its runes flowing slowly, as if alive. Liu Nian took a deep breath, grasped one end of the scroll, and unfurled it—

"use!"

A burst of golden light!

The scroll transformed into a giant, seven-colored forging furnace in mid-air.

The forge was half a person's height, its entire body composed of translucent energy. The walls were covered with a dense array of runes, each flashing in a complex pattern. Inside, a seven-colored flame roared, a flame without temperature, yet seemingly capable of melting everything.

Liu Nian removed his boxing gloves—McCargon's precision hydraulic claws.

These boxing gloves have been with him for a long time. From the regional arena to the Abyss, from the promotion battles to the battlefields of the heavens, they've accompanied him in slaying countless enemies... It's time to upgrade them!

He placed the hydraulic claw into the forging furnace. The moment the gauntlet sank into the iridescent flames, the surface metal began to glow red, soften, and melt, but its shape remained unchanged—a contradictory state of both melting and solidification, as if time had stopped on the gauntlet.

Then he began adding materials into the furnace.

Astral gold, void crystals, titanium alloys, monster cores dropped by some bosses, and more than a dozen gems of various colors—red, blue, green, and purple—were all thrown into the forge, turning into a colorful liquid that painted intricate patterns on the surface of the gauntlets.

Then there are permanent materials.

Fragments of the Heart of Hyperion and the Ember Core!

Liu Nian hesitated for a second.

Both of these have the potential to be upgraded to eternal energy sources similar to the Heart of Terra and the Psionic Core in the future!

But after thinking about it, collecting them is too troublesome, so it's better to use them directly to improve combat power now!

He put both permanent materials into the furnace at the same time.

boom!

The seven-colored flames in the forge suddenly surged, like a ferocious beast awakened, letting out a deafening roar. The dark red energy of the Hyperion Heart fragment and the fiery red energy of the embers collided, fused, and exploded in the flames, producing a powerful and suffocating energy fluctuation.

Liu Hou took a step back, squinting at the wildly churning energy in the furnace.

almost.

But his gaze fell upon the Gluttonous Cup.

The small octagonal box, having just finished spitting out gems, now lay quietly on the table, its lid still retaining a trace of dark golden warmth.

This thing...

Liu Nian's eyes turned dangerous.

The Cup of Gluttony's function is to devour legendary equipment and spit out eternal gems. But its performance is truly...

A bold idea popped into Liu Nian's mind.

Damn it, might as well just melt it down!

With a heavy heart, he grabbed the Gluttonous Cup and threw it into the furnace!

The small box tumbled twice in the seven-colored flames, then bloomed like a flower, with all the metal plates folding outwards to reveal the still-pulsating, dazzling energy core inside.

The core throbbed like a heart, with each beat sending out a ring of dazzling ripples.

The runes on the surface of the furnace seemed to be injected with far more energy than it could handle. Each rune was flashing at an almost insane frequency, emitting a piercing buzzing sound that made the walls of the entire room 112 tremble slightly.

A system notification suddenly popped up—

The Eternal-class artifact "The Cup of Gluttony" has been thrown into the forging furnace! Energy overload!

The forging time will be significantly extended. Estimated completion time: 11 hours and 59 minutes.

[Should we continue?]
