Illusion Realm Bead

"Could it be that Slaying Wu Wings?" Lin Yan wondered to himself.

The Slaying Wu Wings are Supreme Treasure of wings for escaping. This Supreme Treasure has never appeared in the world and has always been in the hands of the Chaos City Lord. No other cosmic life forms know of its existence. It appears to be just Ordinary Supreme Treasure, and its use to the Chaos City Lord is negligible.

In reality, this was probably the most valuable treasure on the Chaos City Lord's possession. Even famous Supreme Treasure like the "Thousand Treasures River" were not worth mentioning. It was just that no one knew about it. Later, he bestowed it upon Luo Feng, and it eventually regained its former glory in Luo Feng's hands.

This is one of the missing parts of the mechanical treasure "Chaotic Golden Wings", representing the highest achievement of the Wu Kingdom of the Origin Continent in single mechanical treasures, which can be described as extremely terrifying.

Since the Chaos City Lord wants to bestow an important treasure upon Lin Yan to give him a stronger means of survival, frankly speaking, the possibility of bestowing the "Slaying Wu Wings" is not small.

He was thinking about it.

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his hand, the Chaos City Lord sent out a streak of light that hovered in mid-air.

Lin Yan looked up and saw a dazzling crystal bead with a colorful surface. The colors on the bead seemed to flow like mercury, and the entire bead had a strange and bewitching power.

"This is a Soul Supreme Treasure, its original name is 'Illusion Realm Bead'," said the Chaos City Lord.

"The Illusion Realm Bead?" Lin Yan was slightly taken aback.

Since it wasn't the Slaying Wu Wings he had initially thought, Lin Yan wasn't exactly disappointed. He felt fortunate to have gained it and destined to lose it.

In any case, King Zhenyu's treasure contains a supreme wing Supreme Treasure "Void Wings," which is sufficient for World Lord level user. He won't be afraid of not finding other opportunities in the future.

But... Soul Supreme Treasure?

In battles between powerful beings, Material Attack generally only Annihilation Split Spirit body, while soul-penetrating attacks can destroy an entire being with just a tiny bit of their soul. Therefore, Soul-type attacks are extremely terrifying.

Armor like the Black Phoenix Armor only weakens Soul Attack.

Soul Supreme Treasure, however, are purely for protection! If Supreme Treasure like "flying palaces" are heaven-defying Supreme Treasure that resist Material Attack, then Soul Supreme Treasure are heaven-defying Supreme Treasure that protect the soul.

Although Soul-type, Palace-type, and Domain-type are considered the top Supreme Treasure of their respective levels, when it comes to saving lives... Soul Supreme Treasure still rank first!

A single Soul Supreme Treasure is more coveted by powerful individuals than ten or a hundred Ordinary Supreme Treasure; many Universe Overlord do not possess Soul Supreme Treasure.

"Didn't the City Lord just say that my Origin Core is comparable to an ordinary Soul Supreme Treasure? Why did you still bestow this 'Illusion Realm Bead' upon me?" Lin Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It was not I who bestowed it upon you, but your race," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "Since your race desires a portion of ownership of your home planet Earth, it must compensate you accordingly."

"You previously said you wanted to postpone it for 100,000 epochs, and that you wouldn't offer enough compensation from your race then, and you even said you wouldn't give up the Supreme Treasure you're talking about now. But... Lin Yan, our human race has its own rules. If that's really the case, how can we convince the people?"

"This Soul Supreme Treasure, the 'Illusion Realm Bead,' is a top-grade treasure even among ordinary Soul Supreme Treasure, worth several high-grade Supreme Treasure Weapon! It is the bargaining chip that the race used to exchange for partial ownership of Earth with you, and it is also a special consideration for you."

The Chaos City Lord said, "If you fail to stand shoulder to shoulder with us after 100,000 epochs, this will be considered compensation delivered in advance. If you can truly become the Lord of the Universe in such a short time as you wish, accomplishing something almost impossible, it will be an even greater blessing for our human race!"

A glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

To put it bluntly, the Chaos City Lord may believe that Lin Yan can become the Lord of the Universe in the future, but he has never had such thoughts about this bet that lasts for 100,000 epochs.

It's fair to say that both sides present felt confident of winning.

After all... even if the Chaos City Lord felt there was only a slight possibility, it would be disrespectful to himself and to all the Lords of the Universe.

At most, it's just a matter of admiring Lin Yan's sharp spirit and promising future.

In this situation, he directly handed over the compensation to Lin Yan in advance, both to ensure that the matter would not change later and to appease Lin Yan.

Because of the existence of other universe masters, Lin Yan had to compromise on this matter, but Earth was ultimately Lin Yan's home, so it was inevitable that he would feel unwilling.

Now that he has agreed to the condition of 100,000 epochs as a buffer, and then directly bestowed this incomparably precious Supreme Treasure, he has taken care of everything. As the supreme ruler of the universe, he still did this much. How could he not be afraid of gaining Lin Yan's gratitude and loyalty?

Lin Yan has immense potential. Even without the Earth incident, he originally planned to bestow upon him another treasure of Supreme Treasure value, which could be used to save his life at this stage, and would be able to unleash even greater power when he breaks through to the Universe Venerable.

In the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, this solution was the most perfect one.

But... why is it Soul Supreme Treasure?

The Chaos City Lord did not directly answer Lin Yan's previous question, but instead turned his head to look around at the countless corpses on the vast land. "Look at these corpses."

"Hmm?" Lin Yan responded and looked over.

Countless Alien Race corpses, some were enormous, thousands of kilometers tall, others were small, less than half a meter tall, some were Metal Lifeform, others were Energy Lifeform, and so on... The aura emanating from these corpses varied in strength, and some were even no weaker than that of the living Golden Axe Venerable.

"I killed all of these myself," the Chaos City Lord said softly. "These are just the countless Alien Race powerhouses I killed, and that's only less than ten percent of all the Alien Race powerhouses I killed. The vast majority were blasted into dust and nothingness by the aftershocks of energy in the war."

"Similarly, many of our human beings have also had their powerful members killed by Alien Race."

His voice suddenly became more spirited.

"War!"

"This is an eternal theme since the birth of the vast universe. For every group and every life in it, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong."

"If you want dignity and power, there is no room for compromise!" The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan. "And for the human race, every Universe Lord is a pillar of the race. As long as they are there, the race will not collapse."

"And you, Lin Yan, are the one most likely to become another pillar of the human race in the past countless years. But you are still too young... Your talent must be forged in fire and tempered in blood before it can be forged into a world-shaking sword!"

The Chaos City Lord's evaluation of Lin Yan was undeniably high.

Lin Yan pursed his lips and solemnly said, "I will do my utmost!"

How could he not want to become a legendary sword?

The Chaos City Lord nodded and said softly, "Humans and Alien Race wage endless wars, killing and hatred. It is inevitable that this hatred will be inflicted on you."

"Your Origin Core is comparable to Supreme Treasure. Even if Universe Venerable could hardly damage its core, you are ultimately just World Master. Let alone a Venerable, even a powerful Feng Wang Immortal God could suppress you directly. What if he were to return directly to the Alien Race's base camp?"

The Chaos City Lord said, "At that time, those universe lords can still easily Soul Invasion and control you. If that happens, no one can save you."

Lin Yan was startled.

Soul Enslavement is a ruthless method that has no reversibility; if you become someone else's Soul Slave, you are completely finished.

However, the probability of this situation is relatively small. After all, if the "Light Web Crystal" is not destroyed in this case, others will not think of it as the "Origin Core," leaving some room for maneuver.

"And the environment of some Cosmic Secret Realm is even more unpredictable. Some dangerous places may even destroy your Origin Core," said the Chaos City Lord. "Therefore, the clan bestowed upon you the 'Illusion Realm Bead.' This Supreme Treasure is most suitable for casting illusionary attacks and also has the function of guarding the soul. It is an extremely powerful treasure in terms of the soul."

"Your Green Line Devouring Worm is naturally suited for casting illusions, and its attack power is greatly enhanced. It can be your biggest trump card in Life and Death Hone. Even if you encounter danger, once it appears, it will be enough to deliver the final blow!"

The Chaos City Lord said, "In some dangerous situations, you can put the Origin Core in a safe place. The Black Phoenix Armor itself has the effect of weakening Soul Attack, and when combined with the 'Illusion Realm Bead'... it will not be penetrated by the soul, nor will it be Soul Control. You can calmly Self-destruct."

"Our human race can afford to lose such a Soul Supreme Treasure."

Lin Yan nodded.

The Chaos City Lord said he hoped he would become another world-shaking sword for the human race, which would require forging in blood and fire, and naturally could not be handled in the same way as when he was Domain Lord level.

However, Lin Yan is of great importance. It would be terrible if he were to perish before he could grow up. Therefore, we must pay special attention to ways to protect him.

The combination of Black Phoenix Armor, Illusion Realm Bead, and Green Line Devouring Worm is an extremely crucial trump card, but the most critical core lies in the Origin Core.

With only the "Light Web Crystal," one must carry the Origin Core with them in order to protect their soul, especially in dangerous situations. However, when encountering a powerful opponent, escape is still impossible, leaving only the option of Self-destruct.

Such Self-destruct is certain death.

With the "Illusion Realm Bead," in some dangerous situations, the Origin Core can be sent to a safe place, relying on the Illusion Realm Bead to guard the soul. In this case, if the Origin Core is unharmed, the clone can be resurrected even if it Self-destruct; the only loss is that precious Soul Supreme Treasure.

Moreover... he has the ability to create clones, and the Origin Core alone cannot meet the needs of various situations. When Lin Yan breaks through to the Universe Venerable, the Origin Core will be shattered, and he will also need Soul Supreme Treasure.

Perhaps it was precisely because of these considerations that the clan was willing to bestow upon Lin Yan, the World Master, a Soul Supreme Treasure. It should be noted that even the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord, "Venerable Guiyi," a Universe Overlord with the strength to follow the Chaos City Lord for many years, did not possess such a Soul Supreme Treasure.

The Chaos City Lord cautioned, "However, this matter must be kept secret. Soul Supreme Treasure are difficult for even Universe Overlord to possess. You are merely World Master, yet your clan has bestowed upon you such a treasure. If word gets out, it will surely provoke dissatisfaction from other Universe Venerable."

"Lin Yan understands," Lin Yan replied respectfully.

"Of course, what the race should do is not for others to interfere with," said the Chaos City Lord. "Even without the events on Earth, I would still bestow upon you a top-tier Soul-type treasure, so you don't need to think too much about it."

A top-tier Soul-type treasure is absolutely comparable to several Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapons.

"Lord City Lord, is this because you cannot be resurrected?" Lin Yan asked.

Although he said these things, he appeared very calm.

The Chaos City Lord remained silent for a moment.

"You have also seen the Ancestor Tree resurrect the Imperial Capital Star the Mengyou Empire. As the master of the universe, Control of Space-Time, it can naturally Reverse Space-Time."

"Even if you die, you can return to the timeline where you were alive and revive yourself in that timeline." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and sighed, "But reviving someone whose soul has been scattered is against the Laws of Cosmic Operation those Universe Law."

"I have been resurrected and granted the King-level Immortal Marquis and King level Immortal, and I can easily resist the backlash."

"Even if I were to be resurrected by Universe Venerable, I would be severely injured. Someone like the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace would suffer a backlash that would cause me to perish. And once I perish, no one can resurrect me."

The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan: "Although you are World Master, your Origin Core with a top-tier Origin-type Treasure Core, which is irreplaceable. Bringing you back from the past, you are now probably comparable to Universe Overlord, and in the future, you will be comparable to resurrecting top-tier Universe Overlord. Even I do not have such an ability. Only the strongest human race, the 'Great Axe Founder,' can resurrect you."

"Of course, what we hope for is... that you can become a top expert through your own strength, so that even Alien Race cannot shake you." The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan, "Remember, always have awe for the universe and always remain humble. No one wants to see you reach that point."

The implication is that resurrection is possible, but just think about it and you'll know how staggering the price would be to resurrect a top-tier Universe Overlord.

Lin Yan is ultimately just World Master. Even if the clan is willing to spend such a price on him, who knows when it will happen.

It's difficult.

However, Lin Yan himself didn't care.

Death is absolutely the last resort. He still doesn't understand the existence of the system, and he doesn't know what will happen after he dies or whether he can be resurrected. It's something Lin Yan absolutely doesn't want to try.

If things really come to that, relying on Luo Feng is better than relying on the Great Axe Founder!

The most practical thing to do now is to seize the opportunity to grow.

To be honest, if the clan bestows a Palace Supreme Treasure or Palace-type major treasure, and it is paired with the Origin Core, it is safer and less risky. However, this relies too much on external forces, and if besieged, it is easy to ask the clan for help, causing chaos.

Ultimately, their consideration was not how safe Lin Yan was, but rather, to rely more on and develop his own abilities in other aspects, without him falling.

Ultimately, Palace Supreme Treasure are inappropriate.

"Lin Yan will keep that in mind," Lin Yan said respectfully.

"This is my token." The Chaos City Lord flipped his hand, and a golden token appeared in his hand. The token had a faint carving on it, which vaguely depicted a city.

"This token is made of C9 Grade Alloy, which you can easily crush. It has my Spiritual Imprint on it, and I believe your teacher gave you a similar token," said the Chaos City Lord. "If you really encounter a danger that you can't withstand, crush it. I will know immediately and arrive in a very short time. Even if I don't make it in time, I can still retrieve your lost Supreme Treasure."

Lin Yan suddenly understood.

So that's how it works... I 'Self-destruct and then you can recycle me!

Of course, it's best to avoid this situation altogether, as the Chaos City Lord wouldn't want him to be forced to use the token.

Lin Yan respectfully accepted it. "Lin Yan understands."

The Chaos City Lord nodded, then sat down cross-legged. "Go, once you have fully absorbed the Heart of Purgatory, you can ask me for the remaining materials. As for Earth, you don't need to worry anymore, I will make the arrangements. In these 100,000 epochs, your Earth Human Lineage can develop on its own."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Lin Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "I am very happy that Luo Feng was accepted as a disciple by you, Lord City Lord. Also... Hong and Thunder God are not as ordinary as they seem on the surface. They also possess amazing talents, especially Hong."

The Chaos City Lord gave him a deep look, then nodded and said, "I understand."

He hadn't initially thought much of Hong and Thunder God, but judging from Lin Yan's attitude, they were clearly exceptional. The fact that Lin Yan was being mentioned so prominently in this setting suggested that Lin Yan was no ordinary person.

Lin Yan respectfully took his leave.

Whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan was teleported out of the Chaos Ruins by the Chaos City Lord.
