Lu Yuan's Generous Harvest

The historical illusion shattered once again at this point, everything becoming blurry and indistinct, like looking at flowers through a fog.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe: "Summit Civilization... truly lives up to its reputation..."

"Alas, it's a pity they weren't willing to act."

"If they had acted, spending ten years to directly blast the Yin World into cosmic dust, there wouldn't be so many problems..."

Lu Yuan was a bit annoyed. A civilization of the Summit's level, even if only four individuals remained, could absolutely destroy the Yin World in ten years.

However, he couldn't complain about anything...

After all, civilizations of this level were completely different from normal civilizations.

By the end of the Fifth Era, the individuals of the Summit Civilization no longer existed. After the Yin and Yang worlds intersected, the Pangu Continent still suffered a disaster.

But no matter what, the experiences of the Fifth Era left a Generous Legacy for the Sixth Era.

"Sixth Era, Hou Tu Civilization... what happened then?"

Lu Yuan was originally waiting for the next illusion to appear, but after waiting for a long time, nothing came.

What appeared before him was only a small, light blue orb of light.

He gently touched it, and a vague sensation arose in his heart.

Through this light cluster, he could leave the illusion and also record some information to leave for later generations.

"Why is the subsequent content missing? Theoretically, every successive Jade should have left some information..." Lu Yuan frowned, deep in thought.

In the end, he could only attribute it to the Sixth Era's war being too tragic, with a large amount of information being erased.

"What happened in the Sixth Era?"

"The Summit Civilization's moon had already been completed, and theoretically it could guide the Pangu Continent out of the danger zone. Why did the plan still fail?"

"In other words, during the war of the Sixth Era, those Fallen Ones actually occupied the moon?"

His pupils dilated, and his body temperature rose.

The best outcome was that the Hou Tu Civilization and the Fallen Ones both suffered heavy losses, and the worst outcome was that the Hou Tu Civilization was directly crushed...

"My trouble is big. I've taken on a hot potato that I can't even throw away..."

Lu Yuan clenched his fist, not knowing what the current situation was like, and could only make wild guesses based on the existing information.

The Era Disaster, according to the current clues, was already very clear.

It was a mix of Calamity and man-made disaster.

Just the Calamity alone was terribly troublesome. The more people who knew about it, the greater the Idealistic gravity.

Lu Yuan vaguely realized that the "Borderless" might have also been designed to counter the Idealistic gravity.

And the man-made disaster, the information on this aspect was quite scarce, but it was even more terrifying than the Calamity.

"The demise of most eras was actually caused by man-made disasters. The Fallen Ones must maintain their self-awareness through Blood Sacrifice. As long as they don't perform Blood Sacrifice, they will immediately become muddled."

"In the past few eras, the Fallen Ones have continuously won, like a snowball rolling down, their combat power growing larger and larger. Their current strength is already immeasurable."

Lu Yuan's heart felt as heavy as Mount Tai.

"No, don't rush. There should still be hope."

"In the First Era, those who possessed the Infinite Qi were massacred by the Guai. In the wars of the Third and Sixth Eras, the Fallen Ones should have also suffered huge casualties. These eras bought a lot of time."

"But these eras are still too far from me. The enemy has harvested at least the Seventh and Eighth Eras. If we consider the worst-case scenario, the pressure on the Ninth Era is indeed very great."

"Once I expose the Jade inherited from the Ink Sect, I will definitely be besieged by those lingering scourges..."

"Their combat power is definitely no less than the Guai. I have to be careful, hide in plain sight, and show myself as little as possible. Human Civilization can develop normally, but my identity must never be exposed."

"Oh, right, what was my task again... to retrieve the Hero Remains..."

"After completing the task, I should go back as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan pondered for a while and found that the historical Illusion had indeed ended, and he touched the ball of light.

Immediately, a feeling of confusion struck him, and he entered that subconscious state once again.

The Greedy Demon God in a subconscious state was blindly fumbling in the Borderless, like a glutton who only entered but never exited, frantically searching for treasures.

From time to time, the sound of the Bronze Door shattering came from the depths of the Borderless, as well as... ecstatic Guai screams!

The Greedy Demon God was like a fish in water, almost going crazy!

For the Turtle People guarding every corner of the Borderless, it was a different scene.

Every day they were on tenterhooks. Once no one inherited the Jade, they had to keep it on their behalf. This responsibility was too heavy. The philosophy that their Turtle Civilization had followed to survive until now was to cling to a strong backer. Becoming the main pillar themselves was absolutely impossible!

"Is he willing to become the Jade?"

"Was it a bit early for us to hand over this legacy?" The Turtle People couldn't help but doubt and hesitate.

But later, they were no longer on tenterhooks. Instead, they were filled with deep anger and occasional outbursts of curses.

"Reporting to the Elder, a door imprisoning a Guai has been opened! Please give instructions!"

"The suspect is the Greedy Demon God! Elder, your conscious Seal has released a big problem!"

"Did that Guai escape?" Number 12 Turtle Person, Turtle Gu Zi, was anxious.

They still had some combat power now. The Spaceship under their feet was a creation of a Level Six Civilization!

Coupled with a few Guai who had been possessed by Demons around them, their combat power was actually not low.

But damn it, if you release all the Guai, who the hell can handle it!

"No, not yet... Perhaps his subconscious is wary of the Guai. After opening the door, he immediately closed it again." These Turtle People reported the information nervously.

On several large screens in some Spaceships, the red dots displayed were the imprisoned Guai.

The Turtle People stayed in the Borderless and had to maintain various equipment, which was a heavy responsibility.

"Then... that's good!" Turtle Gu Zi patted his chest. "He still knows what he's doing."

Before he finished speaking, another urgent report came: "Reporting to the Elder, the Greedy Demon God rushed into the Turtle Grave and killed all the corpse-transformed monsters inside!!"

In the core area of the Borderless, bursts of light like nuclear explosions erupted, and massive airwaves continuously spread in all directions.

Faintly, the excited roars of the Greedy Demon God could still be heard, like a hyena that had been hungry for three days and three nights smelling rotten intestines!

Turtle Gu Zi's eyes widened instantly, and he wailed, "Damn Greedy Demon God, those were my good brothers, and you dug them all out of their graves!"

In the Turtle Grave, a large number of contaminated monsters were imprisoned.

Many of these monsters were their relatives and friends, who had lost their self-awareness and undergone significant Aberrations due to the contamination of the Chaos Wind.

The Turtle People were long-lived individuals who were very nostalgic and unwilling to kill even the Aberrations.

So they found a way to imprison these monsters together so they could remember them. They even buried the monsters' treasures from their lives together, as if they were burial objects.

This was a bargain for the Greedy Demon God. The frantic roars grew louder and louder, as he frantically plundered the Turtle Grave, completely unable to stop.

A large group of Turtle People were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces, rolling on the ground non-stop, "Turtle Gu Zi, this is all your doing!"

"That was my own brother, and he was slaughtered just like that! He died a terrible death!"

"Enough!" Turtle Gu Zi slammed the table heavily. Seeing that the anger was directed at him, he quickly maintained his Majesty, "Although the newly appointed Jade is a bit greedy, look on the bright side, his combat power is high. All those monsters in the Turtle Grave were slaughtered by him. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Well, high combat power means he's not easily assassinated. You should understand that there are many abilities in this world, and things like curses are impossible to guard against... A certain Jade suddenly died midway."

"Good thing, good thing!"

The turtles were all unconvinced. Are you celebrating a funeral?

Turtle Gu Zi said again, "Alright, the people in the Turtle Grave have been dead for a long time. They are no longer the ones we knew."

"Tell me yourselves, how long has it been since you thought of them?"

"As for the wealth inside, it's useless to us. We should focus on the living. Just remember the dead in your hearts. Don't wail here. The Greedy Demon God even gave us a Vegetable Garden!"

His voice sounded quite majestic, after all, he was the highest-ranked Turtle Person here.

But there were also some who were unconvinced, "A Vegetable Garden, is it worth more than our past brothers?"

Number 12 Turtle Person, Turtle Gu Zi sighed, "You're eating the vegetables grown by others with relish, and you're still complaining here. How much effort does it take to build a Vegetable Garden in the Borderless? How many kind people would come to the Borderless to give you vegetables..."

This was also the truth.

Turtle Gu Zi said again, "His talent is also good, and he's a kind person. What else can you ask for? The subconscious and the conscious are two different things. The subconscious is animality, genetic instinct, and the conscious is humanity... The strength of intelligent life compared to ordinary animals lies in the conscious."

"If he can become the Jade, this wealth itself must support him... This is the last Era, what's the use of wealth..."

Since he said so, everyone could only suppress their emotions and sigh inwardly, 'For the sake of the Vegetable Garden.'

Time passed day by day.

Eighteen months passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yuan still hadn't returned from the core area of the Borderless. The Turtle People couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Is it a bit too long? Has he become the Jade?"

"He didn't get contaminated and die while trying to get rich, did he?"

Everyone was a little worried, but there was nothing they could do.

"Want a big cabbage? Just picked, it's dripping wet."

"Yes, yes, give me one!"

Fresh big cabbage, eaten raw, is quite refreshing. If boiled in water with a little salt, it's an unparalleled delicacy.

Everyone ate and drank, enjoying their wonderful turtle lives.

"What if he refuses to become the Jade?"

"Hey, that's nothing. We'll just find someone else. If he refuses, he'll forget most of the information. As long as we retrieve the Hero Remains, it'll be a great achievement."

"What if we can't even retrieve the remains?"

"Then... let him perform the mission again... He's already gained so much wealth, no matter what, this must be completed!" Turtle Gu Zi looked into the distance and thought to himself, He's a relatively top-tier Mythical being, he shouldn't be that useless, right?

As they spoke, a red light appeared in the distance.

Turtle Gu Zi's face immediately lit up with joy, feeling a familiar bloodline power. This was the bloodline resonance brought by the Jade, meaning Lu Yuan had accepted the inheritance from the First Era.

Of course, this bloodline power could only be sensed by high-level Turtle People. Low-level Turtle People didn't even know what the Jade was, so they naturally couldn't sense it.

The Greedy Demon God, the size of a small hill, returned near the spaceship with a blank look in its eyes.

Because of its excessive size, it couldn't enter. Its subconscious didn't force its way through the door but chose to squat to the side.

The Greedy Demon God seemed to realize it had returned to a safe place, closed its eyes, and fell into a dream.

"He's back. I'm performing a safety check on him. Some parts of his body are contaminated... but overall, the problem isn't big. His soul is full, and his heart of greed is strong enough, which is also good." Turtle Gu Zi took a small mirror and shone it on Lu Yuan's soul.

"Next, he will be a qualified successor of the Ink Sect. Everyone, please be careful with your words and don't lose your manners."

"He's going to be our leader now?!" Everyone felt a bit constrained.

"Yes, most likely. This matter needs to be kept secret, so we can just communicate normally."

Turtle Gu Zi said, "Even if he comes to the outside world, high-level Turtle People can still feel the bloodline resonance. They will know what to do."

"The Ink Sect has risen again... This... this is truly wonderful!" Several elderly Turtle People couldn't help but shed tears. "Even if our graves were dug up, it would be worth it."

The contributions the Ink Sect made to the world are hard to describe in words.

But there truly was no one left. If their Turtle Civilization hadn't been good at preserving their lives, even the inheritance might have been completely lost.

And the reason their Turtle Civilization has been passed down for so long is by clinging to the Ink Sect's leg.

They are a mutually beneficial relationship.

"How much power does the Ink Sect still have?"

"Alas, it's hard to say..." Number 12 shook his head. "But no matter what, the Jade itself is the greatest legacy. Being able to protect his cognition, such a spiritual treasure is rare in the world..."

"That's true."

"Send some people over, I'm a bit too busy by myself... It's best to move him to the Egg World. Mental power recovery is too slow in the Borderless."

Lu Yuan slept for a full month. His conscious mind gradually recovered before he woke up.

Looking at the large group of Turtle People around and the spaceship, a sense of familiarity arose without reason.

He thought to himself, I, Old Lu, have been resurrected and even become a Jade. No one would believe it if I told them!

A Turtle Person who looked like a doctor said, "Lord Greedy Demon God, please check your memory. If there are any deficiencies, please copy a backup from the previous one."

Lu Yuan nodded, but as he checked, the hairs on his entire body stood up, and he looked terrified.

The Turtle People thought he had encountered a major problem and were anxiously waiting beside him.

The next second, Lu Yuan's hair stood on end, and he let out an earth-shattering howl: "My money!! My hard-earned fortune!!!"

Lu Yuan truly felt that the world had shattered at this moment, and his heart began to ache—even though he didn't have a heart at all.

"Damn subconscious, it spends money without any heartache. I really want to kill myself!"

Lu Yuan did a rough calculation. Just the Spirit Essence alone cost 19,500!

He only spent 5,000 Spirit Essence fighting the Snake Person Guai!

Fortunately, not much Civilization Points were spent, around a hundred.

It took Lu Yuan half an hour to accept reality. He let out a sigh of relief: "What kind of monster did I fight that cost me so much Spirit Essence? The Borderless is really too dangerous!"

Turtle People: ...

Seeing their displeased expressions, Lu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the Qiankun World, and a strong sense of joy immediately surged in his heart.

His Qiankun World had changed again. The planet had expanded significantly!

More than half of the active volcanoes all over the mountains had quieted down, and small grasses like Jade were growing in the Breathing Soil.

Although they were just tender sprouts, they exuded vibrant vitality. These were the initial producers.

Closing his eyes and sensing carefully, the Innate Spiritual Treasure also grew a tiny bit... Yes, this bit of growth was smaller than a sesame seed, but it was extremely precious!

Originally, Lu Yuan estimated that it would take at least thousands of years for life to be born, but he didn't expect it to appear so quickly. He was truly overjoyed.

"Is it because of that Jade... No, no, it's because I invested a massive amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Qiankun World."

With a thought, a strong wind suddenly rose, and a tattered treasure sword was turned up from the soil.

"Where did this sword come from?" He grinned, completely not remembering that he had ever put this thing in.

The divine charm on the blade had been absorbed by the Qiankun World, and it was decaying quickly.

Immediately after, he turned up something that looked like a gourd and was greatly surprised.

Immortal-level Natural Oddity!!

It seemed to be a spatial item, but unfortunately, it was also damaged.

Its Idealistic Essence had been sucked dry by the Qiankun World.

Upon further searching, the number of various broken items actually reached over a thousand!

"My goodness, where did I pick up so many broken things! I, the Greedy Demon God, didn't go to salvage the Hero Remains... No, the Hero Remains?" Cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead. Lu Yuan thought of a terrifying possibility, "Could it be that I've been greedy, fighting monsters? Is that why I spent so much Spirit Essence?"

"I didn't fail to salvage the Hero Remains, did I?"

He quickly searched frantically in the Qiankun World, practically digging three feet deep!

Finally, in a certain patch of soil, he found a skeleton like White Jade, with fine material, emitting a faint white light, weighing over a ton. Its appearance was exactly the same as the remains faked by the Wild Boar Demon.

Rich Luck surrounded the skeleton. This was clearly an Immortal-level Natural Oddity!
