Please be my partner.

And being extraordinary is itself the greatest inequality.

Of course, having a piece of loincloth is always better than running around naked.

At this point, the adventure in the Broken Land is completely over.

But for Mellen, there are still some things to deal with.

Mellen waited quietly in the room. Soon, there was a knock on his door. It was Lucas.

After the two sat down, Lucas asked straight to the point: "Merlen, what do you think about our deal?"

After the adventure in the Broken Land, Melen was basically certain that Lucas was indeed a member of the Sas Saint Clan, but he still had many concerns about whether to get involved in the dispute between the Sas Saint Clan and the Temple of Divine Machinery.

Seeing Mellen fall silent, Lucas guessed what he was thinking and resorted to the old method: "Mellen, I know you may have some concerns, but those are unnecessary. Among our enemies, the Mechanical Prophet is powerful, but it is impossible for him to calculate every transaction we have with the outside world. Your transaction with us will not directly involve you in our disputes."

"Besides, don't you want to hear my offer?"

Mellen's brows twitched, vaguely remembering that Lucas had used this method in the last transaction. He couldn't resist the temptation and traded the design drawings of the Titan Colossus, which also allowed the Sas Saints to confirm some information.

Without waiting for Mellen's reply, Lucas spoke to himself, "Remember the power I used to break the Nether Spider's Void Web? That power actually originated from a dimension. However, it's different from the normally perceived low-dimensional power. It was the application of the power of a higher dimension."

"Although the lower dimensions are also full of fantasy and strangeness, even ordinary people without extraordinary powers can enter them. As long as they clearly understand the rules of the lower dimensions, they can easily avoid many dangers."

"Higher dimensions are different. Only those at least at the demigod level can enter and explore them. Moreover, the power of higher dimensions is more... 'real'!"

"Don't ask me what 'real' means. I don't understand it either. Demigods can degrade and reduce the high-dimensional knowledge they explore, converting it into knowledge we can use. Although this knowledge is still obscure and difficult for us to understand, by following their example, we can still use the power of higher dimensions."

Lucas looked at Mellen and said solemnly, "We, the Sas Saint Clan, are willing to exchange a high-dimensional knowledge application for the inheritance of the [Source Energy Envoy] in your hand."

Mellen: ...

My heart is beating! My heart is beating so hard!!

Mellen knew that once he heard the other party's price, it would probably be difficult for him to refuse.

This also indirectly confirms how much importance the Sas Saints attach to the inheritance of the [Source Energy User].

After a long silence, Mellen asked, "What is the application of this high-dimensional knowledge about, and what are the specific effects?"

Lucas smiled and said, "This is an application for high-dimensional space. It can construct an infinite four-dimensional space. Once trapped in this space, one will face an endless spatial corridor. Even with the power of a demigod, it would be difficult to break through it by brute force. So, theoretically, even a powerful being like the Invincible Saint, if they can't see through the mystery of the four-dimensional space and are trapped in it, can only escape after the power maintaining the four-dimensional space is exhausted."

"Also, although this is just a practical application of knowledge, it also contains a lot of understanding and cognition about higher dimensions. With sufficient computing and research capabilities, it is not impossible to extend it to more applications of higher-dimensional power."

After a moment's thought, Melen asked, "It shouldn't be easy to use this knowledge, right?"

Lucas said as a matter of course: "That's natural. We can't touch the power of higher dimensions at all. So if we want to use it, we must build extremely complex mechanical creations. It also requires a lot of time and energy to collect higher-dimensional energy. This is the prerequisite for using it."

"Furthermore, due to the corrosive nature of higher dimensions on lower dimensions, which includes both matter and energy, mechanical artifacts created are easily damaged and require maintenance every time they are used to prevent them from collapsing."

Lucas naturally pointed out the drawbacks of this knowledge, but even so, the value of this applied knowledge of four-dimensional space is still immeasurable.

After mastering this knowledge, Mellen had an extra powerful trump card, so powerful that even when facing the pursuit of a saint-level person, he could retreat calmly.

Melen has not forgotten his identity. Once his identity as the inheritor of the Myriad Beasts Universe myth is exposed, he dare not imagine what kind of crisis he will face.

There is even no need to reveal this identity. The treasures he possesses and the semi-divine artifact of the full moon, once discovered by others, will probably attract the attention of saints and even demigods.

Chapter 284 [The Destined One], [The Star Binder], [The World Devourer]

"Would you like to think about it again? If you think it's not enough, we can still..."

Mellen firmly stopped Lucas from making any further offers. He was also afraid that if he heard of some treasure that would make him more excited, he would be unable to resist selling himself.

He said: "This is not a question of compensation. I have no intention of joining a high-level war at the moment, so forget it."

Upon hearing this, Lucas could only shake his head regretfully seeing Mellen's firm attitude.

At this time, they had completed the exchange of the [Source Energy User] inheritance and high-dimensional knowledge. Then Lucas brought up the old matter again, hoping that Mellen and Garuru could join their Sas Saint Clan camp. Naturally, Mellen verbally refused.

In the battle between the Sas Saints and the Divine Machine Temple, the legends were just larger cannon fodder, saints would meet their end, and sometimes even demigods could be seen, which was not something a small shrimp like him could participate in.

Now that he had received his admission letter from the Golden Academy, wouldn't it be better for him to use this platform to enrich himself? Why would he have to become a dispensable cog in a larger battlefield, at the mercy of others?

If Mellen really wanted to gain benefits from the Sas Saint Clan, he should wait until he achieved Sainthood or even Demigodhood, possessing the power to protect himself and even rewrite his possessions. Wouldn't he be able to choose from a variety of benefits?!

Watching Lucas leave, Melen was thoughtful. In his opinion, the Sass Saints' desire to obtain the [Source Energy User] inheritance was most likely related to the 'Mechanical God Gaia'.

Shaking his head, clearing his mind of things that had nothing to do with him, Mellen began to think about his next plan of action.

He raised his hand and looked at the [Dog of Corruption] ring on his finger. The ring was now shining with colorful luster, and there was a faint gray-black background. This was what the Green Mist Dog had obtained when it was digesting the Broken Land.

Although according to the Corrupted Dog, the Netherworld Energy it has obtained so far is far from enough for it to complete its transformation, but in the short term, at least before it possesses the true combat power of a saint, Mellen has no intention of offending the Netherworld Spider.

He had learned the location of the Nether Spider's lair from Vic. There was more than one Saint Nether Spider in charge there, and it also contained the accumulation of countless years of the Nether Spider clan. It was so dangerous that it was not even worth describing it as a den of dragons and tigers.

Withdrawing his gaze, Melen took a step forward and his figure gradually became illusory, and the next moment he had arrived in the fairy tale kingdom.

Mellen looked at Spike, who was surrounded by a light power and feeling relaxed.

Spike seemed to sense Mellen's arrival, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he was about to wake up.

Mellen hurried forward, gently stroked Spike's head, and said, "Go to sleep and have a good rest. Only after a good rest can you have enough energy to face greater challenges."

As Mellen stroked him, Spike's dog face relaxed even more.

Mellen smiled as he sat down next to Spike and began to talk about his experiences after he separated from Spike in the Broken Land. He spoke in great detail, even to the point of being long-winded. Sometimes he would add to what he remembered, so it sounded a bit disorganized.

However, one could vaguely sense that as Mellen spoke, the murderous intent that had penetrated Spike's mind showed signs of fading slightly.

This conversation lasted for most of the day, until Melen's eyelids started to droop, and he fell asleep leaning against Spike.

When Melen woke up again, it was already the next day.

He stretched comfortably, patted Spike's head, and said, "You take a rest. I'll come see you again after I finish what I'm doing."

Back to reality, Melen took out the incubator containing the Void Behemoth Egg. At this time, he could clearly feel that the Void Behemoth Egg was extremely active and would hatch in a few days.

By then, he will have an extra giant void beast dog. If he trains it well, it may be of great help to him in exploring the endless void in the future.

Then, Mellen took out the Shadow Stone he got from Vic.

Although this treasure is strange, its effect is quite powerful.

Mellen certainly won't be able to use it himself, but he can use it to train a dog.

However, Melen currently has no concrete idea about this, and can think about it slowly later.

After calculating the time, Melen found Vic and the others and said goodbye.

Vic didn't try to persuade him to stay. He just said, "I'll help you exchange the resources on your list as soon as possible. Just come to me when you're free."

Xin Ke also said: "When you arrive at the Golden Academy, remember to contact me."

Melen nodded slightly, said goodbye to a few friends, and turned to leave Blue Crystal City.

In the wild, Mellen found a desolate place, set up the fairy tale cottage, and waited.

Soon, he felt the call of the Council of Beasts and projected a ray of consciousness over.

Because they returned from the Broken Land early, there were still two or three days before the tide of rules came again and brought the Broken Land back to the endless void.

Originally, Melen had planned to split his attention and participate in the Council of Beasts if the adventure in the Broken Land continued to the end, but now there is no need for that.

It’s still the same people, and the same process.

The information shared comes from all walks of life from all over the world. For Melen, it is just for listening and broadening his horizons. It does not have much other use for the time being.

However, what surprised Melen was that the information shared by Snake actually included the arrival of the Broken Land, and many parts of the description were very accurate.

This made Melen suspect that the snake might be a witness to the coming of the Broken Land.

As for why not a participant?

This actually stems from a guess by Mellen that has little basis.

Among the current members of the Council of Beasts, except for the demigod Long and him, the legendary weakling, perhaps the others are all saints!

"Huh? There's something so fun!" The cat widened his eyes, looking very interested. "It's a pity it's almost over now. If I had known about this earlier, I would have rushed over to join in the fun."

Eagle shook his head and said, "I've also heard of the Broken Land. That secret place in the spiritual world cannot accommodate beings above the level of legend."

Niu Wenhe smiled gently and said, "Actually, that's not entirely true. The Broken Land will follow the tides of the rules and be swept into the Endless Void, but it is ultimately part of the Spirit World and will be pulled by the instincts of the Spirit World. Therefore, even in the Endless Void where the rules are distorted and space is chaotic, there are ways to determine its location and coordinates. If Legendary players really want to enter the Broken Land, they can wait until it reaches the Endless Void and then look for it separately."

Mellen looked at Niu with some surprise. He really didn't expect that he could circumvent the restrictions of the Broken Land in this way.

Cat curled his lips and said, "What?! Is there really a saint who would risk entering the endless void just to explore a secret place in the spiritual world that even legends can enter?"

Niu spread his hands, smiled and said nothing more.

When it came to the exchange stage, Melen hesitated. He had originally planned to use the Council of Beasts as a platform to digest part of what he had harvested from the Broken Land, but now he suddenly realized that doing so would most likely expose himself, so it would be better to slow down for the time being.

Just when Melen thought that this Council of Beasts would end the same as before.

The bear stood up and said to the dragon, "Dragon, this is something I got recently. Do you think it can be of use?"

As he spoke, a fist-sized, blood-red crystal that sparkled with a radiant light was thrown out by the bear and landed lightly into the dragon's palm.

Long took it and observed it for a moment, then said in surprise, "It's actually the bloodline of an ancient wild dragon! Not bad, not bad, this thing is just what I need. What do you want?"

The bear's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Long Weiwei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The dragon took out a ball of something wrapped in mist and handed it to the bear. After the bear took it, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly put it away.

Seeing this scene, Melen's mind moved. He had long had the idea of using the [Dragon Herder] inheritance to make a deal with the dragon, and today seemed to be a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Melen no longer hesitated and conveyed his spiritual thoughts to Long.

After hearing Mellen's words, Long showed interest. He waved his hand and created a mist that enveloped the two of them. Then he said, "Do you have a legendary class inheritance that can lead to demigodhood? Or is it related to dragons?"

Melen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this profession is called [Dragon Herder]. I wonder if it will be useful to you."

Melen handed the pre-copied copy of the [Dragon Herder] inheritance to Long, who took it and briefly flipped through the first few pages. His smile widened as he said, "Wolf, I didn't expect you to surprise me so soon. This professional inheritance is very useful to me. What do you want from me? An extraordinary inheritance of equal value, or some other treasure?"

Mellen fell into deep thought. To be honest, he hadn't thought it through.

Seeing this, Long chuckled, and the fog around him became thicker. It then dispersed slightly, revealing two rows of shelves, one of which was filled with books that shimmered with various colors of light, and the other was filled with various precious treasures.

The dragon said, "This is a treasure of equal value to the Dragon Herder you traded. You can choose one from them."

Mellen looked at the resource treasures, each of which released a strong and extraordinary aura. However, he knew only a few of them, so he just took a look and then looked away, turning to the bookshelf.

Melen flipped through a few of them and discovered that these books not only contained professional heritage, but also some rare and precious knowledge, such as those about low-dimensional worlds, lost secret realms, and ancient ruins...

Even if Melen prioritized eliminating those high-level knowledge that was temporarily useless to him, he still felt dazzled.

Melen's heart moved, thinking of his power of premonition which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

At his main body, Melen took out the [Pointer of Destiny] and played with it in his hand. He certainly didn't plan to use this extraordinary artifact, but he could use it to try to activate his own talents.

In the Council of Beasts, a trace of Melen's consciousness seemed to be reading the book in front of him, but in fact his consciousness had been emptied, and he was trying hard to find that empty and dark state.

Long looked at Mellen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to see something vaguely.

Maybe it happened quickly, or maybe it was a long time later. Melen's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked in a certain direction unconsciously.

Melen's perspective was a little strange at this time. He seemed to be able to see countless intertwined lines, like a... big web woven by fate!

This idea seemed to appear out of nowhere in Mellen's mind, and even he was startled.

In the web of fate, many books on the bookshelf have some attraction to him, but the one that his eyes are fixed on is undoubtedly the most attractive one. It seems that if he gets it, he will get the greatest benefit.

Melen took it in his hand without hesitation. It was a thick metal book with a three-color halo on it. However, like other books, it was shrouded in a layer of mist, and Melen could only see the introduction at the beginning.

Long took a look and said, "This is a special inheritance. It seems to have originated from the period when the old gods and new gods of the Starry Universe were replaced. Therefore, it has slight traces of both systems."

"It will have different professions and characteristics in the three stages of Legend, Sage, and Demigod. The Legend and Sage stages are somewhat interesting, but not particularly outstanding, and even have quite a few restrictions and constraints. Only when you reach the true Demigod stage can you fully unleash the accumulation of the previous stages. It is a profession that requires a lot of accumulation before it can be fully unleashed."

As Long spoke, Melen also roughly read the introduction of this profession.

[The Chosen One], [The Star Binder], [The World Devourer].

These are the names of the professions corresponding to the inheritance in one's hands at the level of Legend, Saint, and Demigod respectively.

Melen nodded to the dragon and said, "Let's take it."

Long pointed casually, and the mist covering the metal book dissipated. Melen knew that he could now see all the contents, but he had no intention of checking it immediately. Instead, he put it away.

Seeing this, Long also retracted the mist.

Next, the Council of Beasts came to a successful conclusion.

Melen's consciousness returned to the spiritual world. He picked up the metal book and read it carefully. Gradually, he gained a better understanding of these three professions that came from the same origin.

[The Chosen One]: The one chosen by destiny, the darling of the world. Living in a world recognized by destiny, everything you do will be successful.
