Reacquiring a Great Treasure

Walking past the golden trees, a huge cave appeared before him. Inside the cave was an old man with a withered face and hair that reached his lower back but was streaked with gray.

The old man wore only a tattered cloth, and his limbs were skin and bones, yet he was bound by four huge dark red chains to a dark red rock in the cave.

Don't let the old man's current plight fool you, his identity was quite formidable. In his past life, based on Lu Yang's extensive research, the old man before him was Caldas, the Blazing Demon God, one of the four demon gods of hell.

After the defeat in the war between gods and demons, Caldas, who possessed an immortal body, was locked here by the gods. The tree at the entrance, full of golden fruit, was Caldas's energy avatar. As long as someone picked the fruit and gave it to Caldas to help him restore his energy, he would give the player a treasure that could grow into a god-level equipment—the Demon God's Heart.

As in his previous life, Lu Yang walked up to the old man and said with pity, "Old man, how did you get trapped here? Do you need help?"

The old man didn't speak, only stared longingly at the fruit on the tree at the entrance.

"You want those fruits, right? I'll get them for you."

Lu Yang walked to the fruit tree, picked all the golden fruits, and returned to the old man, saying, "Old man, I've picked the fruits for you. Eat some quickly."

Looking at the tempting fruits in front of him, the old man couldn't maintain his composure. He opened his mouth and sucked all the fruits Lu Yang had picked into his mouth, chewing them up.

After eating all the fruits in one breath, the old man showed a satisfied expression on his face, looked up at Lu Yang, and said, "Young man, who are you? Why did you come here?"

Lu Yang scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm an adventurer. I accidentally fell off a cliff. Fortunately, there were branches on the cliff to help me, so I didn't die."

The old man was taken aback and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a lucky person. Since you've come here, it means this is the Overgod's will. You helped me recover my energy and saved my life, so I'll give you a gift as thanks. Here, catch."

A crimson heart appeared in front of the old man, and Lu Yang held it with both hands.

Looking at this heart, Lu Yang's heart was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help clenching his fists again. This was the treasure that Lu Yang relied on to make a name for himself in his previous life, a special equipment that could grow into god-level attributes—the Demon God's Heart.

In Second World, artifacts were few and far between, and every player who obtained an artifact was a hegemon in their own right.

Shi Xue Aotian, the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, wielding the legendary giant axe Ten Directions Undefeated, activated the equipment special skill "Boundless Hell" in a guild war with 100,000 people. With one axe from mid-air, he killed the opposing guild leader and hundreds of main force members within a 100*100 range, directly collapsing the opponent's command system. Then, he led the team to charge and kill, creating a myth of 30,000 people defeating 70,000.

There was also Leng Ye, the president of the Heavenly Mark Empire. In the Nine Guilds War, thousands of enemies attacked the Heavenly Mark Empire's rear base. Leng Ye guarded the city head alone with a bow, and with the legendary equipment Moon God Bow, not a single one of the thousands of players could get within 100 yards of the city head. In the end, Leng Ye even launched the Moon God Bow's ultimate move—Falling Star Shattered Moon, instantly killing Lei Yun, the president of the Hegemony Guild, and hundreds of players around him, truly becoming a one-man army.

In his previous life, after Lu Yang luckily obtained the Demon God's Heart, he didn't know that it was a treasure that could grow into legendary equipment. Because he couldn't find the materials to upgrade the Demon God's Heart, Lu Yang was still at level 0 when he reached level 200. It wasn't until Lu Yang's development reached a bottleneck that he tried to upgrade the Demon God's Heart out of boredom one day.

After finding all the materials, Lu Yang realized just how powerful the Demon God's Heart was as soon as he upgraded it.

Every level doubled its attributes and added several additional attributes. After upgrading the equipment to legendary level in one go, Lu Yang's life completely changed. The legendary Demon God's Heart allowed Lu Yang to transform into Caldas, the Blazing Demon God, one of the four demon gods of hell, releasing any high-level spells without cooldown within 30 minutes, and automatically learning the three major fire-type forbidden spells, as well as adding a 30% chance of 10x critical hits and a series of countless benefits.

Relying on this equipment, Lu Yang cleared countless high-difficulty dungeons and killed countless epic-level bosses, which gave him the ability to equip his 300 elite subordinates and build fortresses. Unfortunately, Lu Yang woke up too late.

Now that he had regained this treasure, Lu Yang's first priority was to upgrade the Demon God's Heart, and upgrading the first level of the Demon God's Heart was the easiest.

Equipping the Demon God's Heart, Lu Yang's attributes immediately changed.

In the game, 1 point of Intelligence equals 1 point of spell damage and 10 points of mana. The Demon God's Heart's 10 points of Intelligence doubled Lu Yang's Intelligence and spell damage, while also granting him an additional 100 mana.

"Old man, thank you for gifting me this treasure. I still don't know your name. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Lu Yang asked respectfully.

The old man looked at Lu Yang's level and said with a chuckle, "Want to help me? You're still a long way off. Let's talk about it after you reach level 200. As for my name, it's better you don't know it for now."

System prompt: Accept the old man's quest (Legendary)?

Lu Yang was amused. He didn't expect his simple question to trigger a top-tier quest. In his previous life, Lu Yang didn't receive this quest. After obtaining the Demon God's Heart, he didn't take it seriously. As an employee of Frost Ice Studio's gold farming team, he didn't dare to linger under the constant urging of the team leader. He hastily begged the old man to send him back to the surface to earn money. He didn't expect this rebirth to bring such an unexpected reward.

"Accept." Only a fool would refuse. A legendary quest was bound to give legendary rewards, even if it wasn't equipment, it would be something of the same caliber.

"Old man, rest assured, when I reach level 200, I will definitely come and rescue you," Lu Yang said.

The old man waved his hand expressionlessly. Lu Yang only felt a dizzy spell, and then found himself back on the cliff north of St. Gall City.

"Great, now I have to run back." It's a half-hour journey, Lu Yang grumbled, wondering why the old man wasn't kind enough to send him back to the safe zone in the square.
