This isn't a sun at all, it's clearly an... eye? ! !

Chapter 446 [Eyes of Dusk]

Huge eyes like the sun are staring straight at you, and I just want to ask you, are you afraid?!

Mellen's answer was that he was a little panicked.

Although the huge pupils did not move at all except staring, the silent pressure was growing and spreading madly, like a brewing flood that was about to submerge everything!

They stared at each other like this, Mellen had a blank expression on his face. It was not that he didn't want to move, but he was afraid that any rash movement he made would cause a reaction in those big eyes.

One minute……

Two minutes...

……

five minutes……

A hint of doubt flashed across Mellen's eyes, because the big eyes seemed to have no other movements except staring at him, which made him more suspicious.

With thoughts racing through his mind, Mellen suddenly flew towards the clouds below. His speed was so fast that he not only left a series of phantoms behind him, but also heard a huge sonic boom.

However, when he was about to approach the clouds, Melen suddenly stopped. He looked up at the big eyes in the sky again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Melen suddenly realized that he might have been wrong before, perhaps...

After a little thought, Melen began to check himself, and then he found that after losing the cover of the clouds, the effectiveness of the power of dusk suddenly increased.

Strictly speaking, the power of dusk is not simply the power of time, but rather has a concept similar to 'aging'. What appears after being illuminated by the power of dusk is not the acceleration of time, but the aging of life.

Obviously, the big eyeball in the sky is the source of all this.

Even a saint or even a demigod would quickly die once directly exposed to the big eyeball.

However, the mythical strong ones will not do that, because the mythical strong ones are eternal in nature, and the power of dusk can only cause them to lose some energy.

And in the low-dimensional world, the strength of the high-maintenance shield is at the mythical level!

Thinking of this, Melen no longer hesitated and flew directly towards the sun in the sky. Of course, during this process, Melen was always paying attention to Big Eyeball. Once the latter made any unusual movements, he would turn around and run without hesitation.

After all, the size of the big eyeballs has far exceeded the level of a saint. Melen even feels that it has exceeded the range of a demigod, but he does not know whether it has really reached the mythical level.

As it got closer, the big eyeball still did not move, just staring at Mellen. This made Mellen feel at ease. It seemed that his guess was correct. Although this big eyeball was terrifying, it had no self-awareness and only had some simple instinctive reactions.

Melen's heart became hot, and his speed increased by three points. At the same time, he was also distracted to check the remaining energy of the high-maintenance shield.

As the distance between Meren and the large eyeball closed, the power of dusk rapidly increased, as evidenced by the noticeable increase in the consumption of the high-maintenance shield.

However, so far, the consumption is still within the controllable range, so Mellen is not panicked at all.

The big eyeball seemed extremely far away, but it was only within the range of the twilight realm. It was impossible for it to have the same distance between stars as in the previous life.

As Melen continued to move forward, his big eyeballs seemed to become bigger, and the power of dusk was also increasing. Melen even felt that the time around him was affected and was flowing abnormally, but now was not the time to think about these things.

More than an hour later, just like he had penetrated the clouds before, Melen once again crossed an invisible membrane, and the concentration of dusk power suddenly increased to a higher level, which caused the consumption rate of the high-maintenance shield to directly reach a dangerous threshold.

But correspondingly, the sun, which had always seemed so far away in the horizon and unreachable, now seemed to have shed its hazy veil and become within reach.

Mellen didn't hesitate at all and continued to move forward.

The fluctuations of time became more intense, even to the point where Mellen's perception became confused. In a trance, he seemed to have been flying for months or even years, which made his spirit begin to weaken.

As he approached the big eyeball, Melen had the illusion that he was about to be frozen in time.

This wasn't a mental attack, but a distortion caused by the changes in time itself. Even the Wolf Tamer's passive anchoring ability wasn't immune to it.

However, Melen soon roughly determined the actual time difference based on the consumption of the high-maintenance shield.

Correct cognition directly dispelled most of the confusion based on time perception. Melen's eyes lit up slightly, and he caught the truth hidden under the distortion.

"Boo!~"

It was like bursting a bubble of illusion, and Melen once again entered a whole new dimension. The huge sun that was right in front of him had disappeared. It was now an empty space with nothing around it. Only a light golden pupil was quietly floating in the center of the space.

Melen looked behind him and saw a clear boundary wall, behind which was a dim yellow color.

A ray of enlightenment arose in Melen's heart, and he entered the sun.

In other words, whether it was the sun that Mellen saw before or the big eyeball, they were all created by the light golden pupil in front of him.

Since entering this space, Mellen's high-maintenance shield has not been consumed. He came to the light golden pupil, thought for a moment, and then stretched out a finger to touch it.

The moment his fingertips touched the pale golden pupils, a large amount of information flooded into Mellen's mind.

After a moment, Melen rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the light golden pupils quietly floating on his palm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but start to rise wildly.

An unknown amount of time ago, the Twilight Realm was not yet called the Twilight Realm, and there was no special power like the Power of Twilight. It was just an ordinary one among many low-dimensional worlds.

Until one day, the pale golden eyes accidentally appeared here, and the change began.

The power of dusk slowly filled the entire world. In the slow fusion, the light golden pupil gradually became a part of the world. At the same time, because of the mass of the light golden pupil itself, the center of the world began to shift towards it.

That’s right, the pale golden pupils are now the core of the Twilight Realm.

The pale golden pupil, or should we call it the [Eyes of Dusk], is a treasure that embodies the concept of "dusk", and this "dusk" is the "dusk" of Ragnarok!

Well, the latter explanation was actually added by Mellen himself.

However, the dusk power of [Eyes of Dusk] can indeed affect the mythical strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an innate embryo of a divine artifact.

[Eyes of Dusk]: Able to release the power of dusk. Any existence illuminated by the power of dusk will age rapidly until its life is completely exhausted.

The process of Mellen obtaining the [Eyes of Dusk] seems simple, but it is actually full of unimaginable dangers.

The Saint Twilight monsters that were born in the clouds due to the distortion of rules and order are enough to stop most saints.

Even if a saint were to break through the clouds and enter the open area above the clouds, they would be immediately exposed to the direct light of the [Eyes of Dusk]. If they did not escape quickly, they would soon be reduced to a pile of bones due to the exhaustion of their lifespan. Even those immortal species with long lifespans would not be able to cross one-tenth of the open area.

Demigods can indeed cross open areas, but when they enter the time-distorted area, they can only grope around blindly.

In other words, only when Meren possesses a high-maintenance shield with mythical-level protection can he truly approach the true form of the [Eyes of Dusk].

In fact, if the news of [Eyes of Dusk] were to be exposed, it would surely attract the attention of demigods who possessed mythical powers, or even true mythical beings.

Fortunately, the Twilight Realm was discovered not long ago. Now, apart from some free adventurers, the strongest forces that have entered the Twilight Realm are only at the saint level.

Their exploration of the twilight realm is still in its early stages, and they roughly call the area below the clouds the twilight realm, and the area above, including the clouds, the inner twilight realm.

Suppressing the thought of joy, Melen's top priority now is to eliminate all existence in the Twilight Realm and bring it completely under his control, so as to prevent the information about the [Eyes of Twilight] from being leaked and attracting the covetousness of powerful beings above the demigod level.

The [Eye of Dusk] in his hand turned into a golden light and disappeared. Instead, a light golden eye slowly opened between Melen's eyebrows. An inexplicable pressure emanated from it, making Melen look sacred and majestic.

Soon, Melen closed the [Eyes of Dusk]. He could only initially control the [Eyes of Dusk]. It was okay to use the power that was naturally emitted from it, but if he wanted to achieve more effects, it would consume too much energy for him.

However, after the initial control, Melen has already mastered the core of the Twilight Realm and possessed supreme authority. Although this authority needs to abide by certain rules, it is enough for Melen.

For example, all the twilight monsters in the Twilight Realm are controlled by Melen.

For example, Melen can adjust the distortion rules of the Twilight Realm and the concentration of Twilight Power between different layers, so that those Saint Twilight Monsters that can only live on the top of the clouds can also go to the ground without worrying about the degradation of their strength.

Although demigods have an absolute crushing advantage over saints, saints of tens of millions can be easily killed even by demigods!

Unfortunately, this power can only be used in a place like the Twilight Realm where rules and order are distorted.

Retracting his thoughts one by one, Melen no longer hesitated and directly sent a wide-area message to the entire Twilight Realm through the core of the Twilight Realm. The content was very simple, to the effect that the Twilight Realm now had a master, and he, as the master, did not welcome others to mess around in his territory. He required everyone to leave the Twilight Realm within three days, after which he would launch a major purge, and those who had not left by then would bear the consequences themselves.

As soon as this news spread, all the adventurers and forces in the Twilight Realm were in an uproar.

The adventurers were fine. Although they came to the Twilight Realm to pan for gold, the cost they paid was nothing more than that small round concave mirror. This kind of extraordinary prop could basically pay back the money quickly.

The ones who are really suffering are those powerful forces. You know, the resources required to establish a fixed camp in a low-dimensional world are unimaginable, not to mention a low-dimensional world like the Twilight Realm with special outputs.

This means that the related equipment and props created around the special output of the Power of Dusk will immediately become a pile of useless garbage after leaving the Dusk Realm, and its impact will even affect the entire related industrial chain.

The upstream concave mirror manufacturers will be completely unemployed, and the downstream buyers who acquire the power of dusk and use it for research or manufacturing will also lose their supply.

This is devastating for those forces that have already invested heavily.

Think about it, Team Yu Mu alone can earn 30000 magic gold coins a month with the small circular concave mirror, which is 360000 magic gold coins a year!

Of course, even the craziest adventurer cannot stay in the low-dimensional world all year round.

However, the camps established by powerful forces can, as long as they use a rotation system, the camps can continue to function. After deducting the salaries of the legends and the share of the saints, the net income that a camp can obtain each year is at least tens of millions of magic gold coins. If it is a large camp, it is possible to get hundreds of millions.

With such lucrative returns, the cost of setting up the camp can basically be fully covered in just one year, and then the camp in the Dusk Realm will be an inexhaustible 'gold mine'!

As a result, Melen cut off these people's financial resources with just one sentence. Some forces had just established their camps and had not yet started to make a profit.

In order to recover this loss, all the major forces began to search frantically for the 'lucky person' who had obtained the core of the Twilight Realm.

That's right, because of the complexity of the low-dimensional world core, even a novice adventurer who has just entered the industry may be able to obtain it, and such deeds are the easiest to spread, so over time, adventurers have become accustomed to calling those who obtain the low-dimensional world core "lucky ones."

Just when all forces were moving like headless flies, Melen leisurely found the Yumu team who were about to leave.

After a brief exchange, Melen was suddenly surprised to find that more than two months had passed since he left the team.

Melen immediately thought of the time chaos area outside the [Eye of Dusk]. It seemed that what was affected there was not only the perception of time, but even the real time.

Youmu smiled and said, "Meren, we thought you had left a long time ago, but now is the perfect time. The Twilight Realm suddenly has a master, and it seems that his temper... doesn't seem very friendly to us. He's already preparing to kick us out. It's a good time for us to leave together."

Manlio muttered indignantly, "What a stingy person this new master of the Twilight Realm is! He got such a great benefit, and now..."

Yumu interrupted Manlio and nervously looked around. After a moment's wait, seeing no change in his surroundings, he said seriously, "Manlio! A powerful being like the Master of the Dusk Realm is not someone we can discuss. Besides, we've already gained a lot during this period of time, so we should be content!"

Sisters Emma and Irene also nodded in agreement.

Manlio knew that he had spoken out of turn, but his stubborn temper prevented him from saying an apology, so he could only sit down on the ground.

Yumu shook his head slightly, understanding his teammate's character, so he changed the subject and said, "Meren, come with us."

Mellen smiled and shook his head, saying jokingly, "This bad-tempered and stingy guy like me has some things to do in the Twilight Realm. You guys should leave first."

"A mean-spirited person with a bad temper?!"

Yumu and the others blinked at the same time, their expressions gradually changed from puzzled to dull, and then they opened their mouths wide, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.

Melen chuckled and pointed his finger in the air. A large amount of dusk power gathered and instantly became a fist-sized crystal.

"It should appreciate in value in the near future, but don't wait too long if you want to sell it, because the appreciation won't last long."

Chapter 447 Cooperation

After watching Team Yumu leave, Melen also restrained the smile on his face. If the former could seize the opportunity, it should not be a problem to sell the dusk power he gave away for hundreds of thousands of magic gold coins.

This is because Mellen's next action will cut off all production of the Power of Dusk, which will disrupt the current stable supply and demand relationship and cause a substantial premium on the Power of Dusk for a period of time.

Of course, Mellen did not intend to leave this "gold mine" idle. He did this to let others figure out who is the owner here, so that he could naturally take most of the benefits in his hands.

That’s why there’s a reminder that “if you want to sell, don’t wait too long, because the appreciation won’t last long.”

There are now more than ten large forces in the entire Twilight Realm. After their in-depth digging, the market demand for the power of Twilight in reality has been opened up, and it is a good time to reap the fruits.

The total output value of these forces mining the power of dusk in the dusk realm is about 3 to 4 million magic gold coins each year. This is just a drizzle for Mellen. He masters the [Eyes of Dusk] and the core of the dusk realm. If he really wants to use the power of dusk, he can easily increase the output value to more than billion magic gold coins each year.

However, considering market saturation and sales conditions, Melen felt that at least in the next few years, a stable figure of 10 billion magic gold coins should be a reasonable number. If it is higher, it may cause a large-scale depreciation of the power of dusk, which is not worth the loss.

(I need to explain a bit here. Although the income brought by the Twilight Realm is large, it is reasonable. Even in ordinary low-dimensional worlds with specific output, a few million or tens of millions per year should be the limit. However, as a byproduct of the artifact item [Eye of Twilight], the value of Twilight Power far exceeds this. It is logical.)

As for who to cooperate with and how to cooperate, it is naturally up to Mellen to decide.

Three days passed in a flash. Unable to contact Mellen, most forces had no choice but to dismantle some valuable equipment in the camp and evacuate collectively.

Those who were unwilling to give up because they had not yet recovered their investment simply sent some legends to stay behind, just in case, to see how things would develop.

There were also some independent adventurers who, perhaps because they were confident in their own abilities or perhaps because they had other plans, did not leave either.

Of course, Mellen did not tolerate these people and launched a purge as promised.

The rules in the twilight world began to blur, the concentration of twilight power increased, and twilight monsters emerged from the clouds like a tide, including saint-level twilight monsters. The whole world was swallowed by terror.

A day later, the dusk monsters returned to the clouds, and the world became peaceful.

Mellen looked at the Twilight Realm, which was empty except for him, and nodded with satisfaction. He had completely sealed off this low-dimensional world before launching the Great Purge, and no one could enter or leave.

The next step is to find partners to jointly develop the Twilight Realm.

As the saying goes, old is worse than new. Although the Low-Dimensional World Adventurer's Association seemed to be a good partner, Mellen finally chose his old friend.

Come to think of it, they haven't been in touch for a while.

The Dream Ring Realm, as a medium-sized world, is far more prosperous than other worlds because its geographical location in the spatial sense is adjacent to multiple large worlds and is an important intersection.

As the development focus of Baisha Chamber of Commerce at the current stage, it is natural that it has shown enough attention to this place. The person who is now in charge of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce branch of Menghuanjie is none other than Melen’s old friend... The Collector.
