Please be my partner.

After all, the pressure from the outside world has reached the mythical level. Even though Melen has already transcended the realm of demigod with the mythical feature of 'wolf' and the blessing of the dogs, he cannot maintain it for long and is suffering from all-round destruction every moment.

Under such circumstances, Mellen only lasted three days before reaching his limit and had to withdraw from the 'Stairway to Heaven'.

However, what he gained in these three days was more than what he gained in the previous three months on the 99th floor.

It took Melen almost two days in the outside world to recover from his injuries and then step into the 'Stairway to Heaven' again.

When Mellen passed by Eagle and the other five again, they all looked very confused, not understanding what tricks he was playing.

This time, Melen did not go directly to the 101st floor, but released Spike, Garuru, Golden Retriever and Nasus on the 100th floor. This is the area suitable for them to practice.

Then, Melen took Xiao Honglian into the 101st floor.

In this way, Mellen maintained a frequency of once every five days to go back and forth to the "Stairway to Heaven". Eagle and the others were a little annoyed when they saw Mellen going back and forth so many times.

The more Mellen practiced, the more he felt that this treasure that assisted in his practice was really useful. Moreover, he was only on the 101st floor now, and there were still more steps to climb.

That is to say, at least in the mythological stage, 'Stairway to Heaven' can continue to play a role.

A new Council of Beasts.

In the past two years, because most members were in the ancient exile land, the topics of the Council of Beasts basically revolved around this point.

But today is different from the past. With the arrival of Meren, everyone's eyes are on him, including Long.

The entire Council of Beasts fell into a rare silence.

Mellen chuckled and broke the silence, "Why are you all looking at me?"

While the others were still pondering their own thoughts, the cat didn't think too much and asked directly, "Little Wolf, you seem to be a little different from before?!"

Mellen asked, "What's different? Am I still myself?"

The cat lay on the table, trying to lean towards Mellen, sniffing non-stop, and said in confusion: "Yes, it's very different!"

At this moment, Long suddenly said, "Wolf, you have indeed taken that step. It seems that when we return to the Myriad Beasts Universe, the original three superiors will become four superiors."

Long's tone was as gentle as usual, but what he said was extremely explosive.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other people all looked at each other sideways, and Eagle's expression became extremely complicated. The look he gave Wolf was filled with envy, jealousy, and even a hint of... hostility.

Mellen and Long looked at each other for a moment, then he lowered his head and said, "Thanks to the accumulation of our predecessors, I am just sitting back and reaping the benefits."

Long smiled and said, "Wolf, you are really outstanding. When we return to the Myriad Beasts Universe, I will fully support you on behalf of Tianlong."

Melen said, "Thank you very much for your support, Lord Long. I believe that under your leadership, we will all achieve our goals."

Mellen's statement made Long quite satisfied.

The meeting then returned to its usual state. Melen asked, "The Ancient Exile Land is about to collapse. Many treasures may be separated at that time. Are you interested?"

Niu shook his head and said, "For us, that's too chaotic and dangerous. I don't recommend anyone getting involved in this mess."

The Eagle, Bear, and Snake also successively stated that they would not participate, and at most they would wait and see from the periphery to see if there was any chance to pick up a bargain.

Cat slumped on the table, like a cat that had lost its dried fish, and said, "If only it were a little later. I feel like I'll be able to break through to demigod status soon, and maybe I could participate then."

Finally, everyone looked at the dragon. They still didn't know whether the dragon was in the ancient exile land. In response to their questions, the dragon just smiled and did not answer.

Seeing this, they had no choice but to suppress their thoughts.

After the meeting, Mellen came back to his senses from the 101st floor of the Stairway to Heaven. After a brief thought, he turned and left.

After waiting for a while outside the golden light, Spike and the others also walked out of the 'Stairway to Heaven' one by one.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the whole world, accompanied by violent vibrations, and large areas of cracks appeared in the sky and the earth.

Mellen just took a look and then looked away. This situation did not start today. It appeared a few months ago. However, at that time, there would only be slight vibrations every ten days or half a month. Now, not only are the movements getting louder, but the intervals are also getting more frequent.

Soon, Melen found the five people including Eagle who had come out earlier.

The cat said with some regret: "Little Wolf, we are going to leave early to avoid any accidents when the time comes."

Mellen nodded slightly and did not persuade them any further. Although they could all temporarily burst out with demigod-level strength, they were ultimately just saints.

When the ancient exile land collapses, the mythical strongmen will probably be attracted here. At that time, even ordinary demigods who participate in it will probably just go with the flow. The danger is too great for them, and it is a very sensible choice to withdraw.

After everyone said goodbye to each other, the cat said reluctantly: "Little Wolf, you must be careful!"

After watching them leave, Mellen contacted Lorraine and Roche.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them got together.

Lorraine asked, "Merlen, what are your thoughts? Do you want to form an alliance with us?"

Melen didn't answer, but instead asked, "I'd like to first understand what your goals are. And after forming an alliance, how will the treasures obtained be distributed?"

Luo Lin smiled bitterly and said, "There's no specific goal. After the Ancient Exile Land merged into the starry universe, the treasures that remained would be extremely valuable. Not to mention demigods, even mythical masters would be tempted. When the time comes, we will naturally adapt to the situation and grab whatever we can."

"As for the ownership of the treasure, it's simple. If it's a reusable treasure, then everyone will take turns owning it. If it's a one-time treasure, then the one who gets it will give the others sufficient compensation."

"We can sign a detailed contract later with the specific details. What do you think?"

Mellen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I need to add one more thing. The ultimate ownership of a treasure is also related to the contribution we made when we obtained it. In other words, if a treasure was obtained by me alone from beginning to end, then it will directly belong to me, and no one else has the same rights."

Lorraine and Roach looked at each other, and the former nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Seeing that Mellen agreed, Lorraine and Roche no longer concealed it and said, "In addition to you, we have invited two more people to this temporary team. Come on, I will introduce you to them."

The three of them changed locations and soon arrived at another hilltop. From a distance, they saw an old man and a young girl waiting.

After the three landed, Lorraine introduced them to each other: "This is the Mellen I mentioned before. From now on, he is also a member of our temporary team. This is Fontaine and Ellie."

After a few people got to know each other, they chatted for a while and had a general understanding of each other.

Fontaine and Ellie are both veteran demigods. Although their specific strengths are not stated explicitly, they are both able to reach the 90th floor or above of the 'Stairway to Heaven', and should both belong to the late stage of demigod.

Fontaine and Ellie were a little surprised when they heard that Mellen had climbed a higher level than Lorraine and Roche, but that was all. After all, the number of levels climbed cannot be completely linked to one's strength. It is also possible that there are shortcomings in some aspects, so one can only stop at a certain level.

Knowing that the ancient land of exile was about to collapse, the few of them no longer had the desire to continue to practice on the 'Stairway to Heaven', and instead focused on recuperating.

During this period, they also exchanged extraordinary knowledge or some interesting stories with each other, which was considered a small gain.

The calm did not last long. A few days later, the sky continued to crack amidst a violent tremor. This time, instead of gradually stopping as before, it became more and more intense until the entire sky was completely cracked.

In an instant, the bright sky turned dim, and countless spatial turbulences rushed in, breaking the crack into even smaller pieces, and the entire area was destroyed in an instant.

Mellen and the others watched this scene with a normal expression, not surprised at all.

Lorraine said, "The area we are in is one of the most stable areas in the entire Ancient Exile Land. Even this place has been destroyed. It seems that the real collapse is not far away."

"Let's go!"

Several people turned into streams of light and entered the turbulent space, quietly watching the earth below shatter and disappear under the erosion of the turbulent space.

Many people gathered at the golden entrance of the 'Stairway to Heaven'. They seemed to want to take advantage of the period of regional collapse to see if they could gain any benefits.

But unfortunately, the golden light slowly died down as the area collapsed, completely severing its connection with the 'Stairway to Heaven'.

Ellie grinned and said, "Those people are so stupid! The main body of the 'Stairway to Heaven' is deep within the Ancient Exile Land. This is just a connecting entrance. Once it's closed, there's naturally nothing left. Do they still expect the 'Stairway to Heaven' to just pop out after the area collapses?!"

Luo Lin shook his head and said, "They may not be unaware of this, but they are just taking the safest possible chance."

After watching for a while, Lorraine took a piece of land and several people landed on it. They tacitly released a little power to block the turbulence in space.

Lorraine said: "Next, let's just wait patiently and wait for the right time to take action."

Mellen and the others all nodded in agreement.

The collapse of anything grows in a parabolic manner. As one area after another shatters, the entire ancient exile land is like a domino that has been pushed down, forming a series of chain reactions, and the speed of collapse is getting faster and faster.

Until it is completely shattered.

Seen from the outside, the vortex where the ancient exile land was originally located slowly stagnated, and then collapsed to infinite depths with the center as the base point, forming a deep black void filled with endless chaos and destruction.

However, amidst the chaos and destruction, wisps of pure light would occasionally burst forth, and they were precious treasures that even the rules could not erase.

The people outside who were watching the fun sensed the aura of those treasures, and many of them showed signs of eagerness to make a move. A small number even couldn't resist the temptation and jumped directly into the cave, trying to seize the opportunity.

But more people restrained their desires and started to stay away from it.

The cave has become a lawless place without any order, and everyone is crazy about fighting for the treasures.

"Roar!~"

The aura of mythology pressed down like an overwhelming force, and the pitch-black dragon flames swept across the four directions, turning several powerful demigods into nothingness.

Feeling this kind of power, the contenders nearby turned around and ran without hesitation, fearing that if they ran too slowly they would become the next unlucky ones.

On the head of the ferocious black dragon, the dragon stood calmly, paying no attention to the fleeing crowd around it, and was playing with a crystal jade branch in its hand.

This branch emanated a rich vitality that had truly reached the level of being able to bring back to life, turn flesh into bones, and even heal the severe injuries of mythical powerhouses.

The corner of Long's mouth curled up slightly, and he muttered to himself: "The remains of the ancient golden life tree? Not bad, not bad!"

"When the Golden Universe was destroyed, the Golden Ancient Life Tree, which was most closely connected to the Golden Universe, suffered first. But precisely because of this, it also retained the most power."

"Unfortunately, it was ultimately a shattered body, unable to fully retain its dominance-level strength. It was ultimately downgraded to the mythical level, but it was enough for me to create an ancient dragon of life."

The dragon put away the branches, looked in a certain direction, and said, "I still need more power!"

"Roar!~"

The black dragon sensed its master's thoughts and immediately flew in that direction. Wherever it passed, blazing flames burned the sky, and even the ubiquitous spatial turbulence was torn apart.

Lorraine curiously followed Mellen's gaze, but saw nothing but a chaotic darkness. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Mellen, what are you looking at?"

Mellen retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing." Then he calmly changed the subject and asked, "Is this our goal?"

Not far in front of the group, a one-meter-square golden box was emitting a faint light.

However, Mellen and his team did not act rashly, because they were not the only ones eyeing the golden box, there were two other groups as well.

Chapter 550 Fighting for Treasures

More than ten spirits intertwined and collided in the void. They seemed unwilling to give in to each other, but in fact they also retained some restraint.

Melen and the others turned their attention to Lorraine. As the organizer and leader of the temporary team, the latter was naturally appointed as the captain.

After a brief silence, Lorraine said firmly, "Fight!"

Lorraine's idea is very simple. Now it is only the early stage of collapse, and the value of the treasures exposed is limited. This means that everyone's desire to fight for it will not be so strong, and the danger will naturally be lower.

If they can get a few more treasures during this period, their trip will be worthwhile.

Unfortunately, Lorraine thought so, and the other two groups probably had similar ideas. So when Mellen and the others showed a determination to win, not only did they fail to scare their opponents, but instead triggered a more intense conflict.

A chaotic battle broke out without warning around the golden box.

Energy is rampant, rules are crushing, and all kinds of secret techniques and magic are flying around...

After a brief trial, Melen had an idea in mind. He did not rush to show his strength, but quietly released his mental power to explore the golden box.

Although the golden box had a barrier formed by the entanglement of more than a dozen mental powers, with Nasus' attainments at the soul level, Melen easily bypassed this barrier and probed his mental power into the golden box.

Soon, Melen figured out what the golden box was. Strictly speaking, the golden box should be a cage. It has the ability to seal and trap. Before opening it, Melen had no idea what was imprisoned inside, but judging from the aura, there was undoubtedly at least a mythical life form inside.

To be honest, compared to the imprisoned mythical creature, Melen was more interested in the golden box.

After determining the function of the treasure, Melen prepared to show some of his strength.

The long-awaited second [Soul Synchronization] was activated, and the power of Nasus and Xiao Liuli flowed in Mellen's body and gradually merged into one.

Mellen chuckled and snapped his fingers, and the soul fluctuations with a powerful hallucinogenic effect spread instantly, pulling everyone present into the illusion, causing them to fall into a brief stagnation.

Mellen walked lightly to the golden box, waved his hand slightly, and the golden box turned into the size of a fist and fell into his hand.

When everyone came to their senses, their faces changed drastically. They immediately stopped fighting and kept some distance.

After seeing the situation clearly, everyone looked at Mellen with complicated expressions, including Lorraine and others.

The other two groups were silent for a moment, and left quickly without saying anything more.

Melen looked at his temporary teammates, holding up the golden box, and said with a smile: "I have explored it. This should be a special cage, sealed with a mythical life form."

Lorraine looked at the others calmly, then smiled and said, "Merlen, you got this treasure, so you should keep it."

A sealed mythical powerful being, plus a treasure that can seal the mythical powerful being, its value is naturally self-evident.

However, the strength displayed by Mellen really scared Lorraine and the others. Being able to pull more than a dozen demigods into the illusion at the same time in an instant, in their eyes, was no less powerful than the top demigods. They didn't even dare to mention dividing the spoils.

Melen didn't care about it. As he had thought before, he was only interested in the golden box, the sealed treasure, unless the sealed mythical powerful man was a dog.

However, even if the latter is just a dog, once the seal is broken and he comes into contact with the rules of the starry universe, his realm will probably drop immediately. At that time, it will be the best he can maintain at the demigod level.

Melen thought for a moment and said, "How about this? This treasure belongs to me. If you need it in the future, you can come to me and borrow it. In addition, I will compensate you with 10 million magic gold coins each. How about that?"
