Although Wang Zhen followed a cheat-like path, his starting point and core profession was Alchemy. He gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision, using himself as a sacrifice to repeatedly use the " Human Transmutation circle" to communicate with the " Gate of Truth," extracting a massive amount of knowledge from it. He also made the projection of the " Gate of Truth " reside permanently in his sea of consciousness and integrated the " Eye of True Knowledge " into himself. This transformed his Alchemy, eliminating the need to draw and arrange Transmutation Circle in advance. He could simply draw the Transmutation Circle out of thin air with his own mental will to activate Alchemy.

He later obtained other extraordinary powers from the Golden Blind Box, and at the same time, he acquired systematic knowledge from the Main God. After such integration, Wang Zhen had a very clear and definite vision for the future, which was to ignite the divine fire, raise the divine throne, ascend to the sky, and become a god in the Pantheon in the endless void.

Because of this clear vision of the future, he paid special attention to those divine predecessors!

He wanted to uncover the truth behind the Aztec cursed coins, or more accurately, to verify his conjecture. Therefore, when he actually saw the extremely faint shadow of Quetzalcoatl on the cursed coins through the " Eye of True Knowledge," he knew he had guessed correctly!

Or rather, you've won the lottery!

In this storyline world, although the rewards from the four legendary pirate ships are generous, these rewards are not the most valuable. This is because, not counting the hidden relics of the gods, the value of the Aztec Gold, the Fountain of Youth of Youth that can extend lifespan, the Trident of Poseidon that can break all curses, and the divine artifacts related to the sea goddess Calypso and the Kraken are already greater than the rewards from the four legendary pirate ships.

Since the Aztec Gold bear the image of Quetzalcoatl, the other items are most likely relics of the gods as well!

Wang Zhen originally intended to take the Aztec Gold and their box with him and use them as a material, since this cursed material was also extraordinary.

But now he doesn't want to take it with him!

He wants to do something big here!

" Tifa, Huaiyuan, you two take all the ' Led Mirage Knight ' and set up defenses around the area. Anything that tries to enter this cave, whether human or object, kill... no... mercy!"

Wang Zhen said with a serious expression.

At the same time, he gave instructions to the Hela Finkel " through his consciousness, causing the Yamata no Orochi to dive down and hide on the seabed, sealing off both the surface and the underwater side.

Wang Zhen's meticulous arrangements were naturally due to the great importance of what he was about to do.

Standing in the empty, damp cave, Wang Zhen took a few deep breaths to concentrate his mind. He clapped his hands together and used Alchemy to transform the uneven cave floor into a huge, flat stone slab. Then, he took out the Philosopher's Stone and began to set up Transmutation Circle on the stone slab!

In this way, Wang Zhen arranged Transmutation Circle, large and small, in a nested combination on the ground of the cave, forming an extremely large, dense, complex, and exquisite super-giant Transmutation Circle. And in the very center of this Transmutation Circle was the box of Aztec Gold.

When Wang Zhen finished drawing the last stroke and completed the entire Transmutation Circle, the basketball-sized Philosopher's Stone in his hand also disappeared without a trace. It was clear that the materials required for this Transmutation Circle were not only numerous but also extremely precious, causing even the top-grade, all-purpose material, the Philosopher's Stone, to be used up.

"Finally finished! It seems the relationship between magic-based professions and deities is truly subtle. Although this is my first time doing something like this, I should have stumbled and struggled, perhaps even been clueless. But unexpectedly, after this idea popped into my head, inspiration struck, and the knowledge of the ' Gate of Truth ' sealed in my memory jumped out on its own, providing various ideas, and finally I was able to complete this Transmutation Circle."

Looking at the colossal Transmutation Circle beneath his feet, Wang Zhen was filled with emotion. He knew there must be some significance to it, but for him at his current level, his strength was too weak and his level too low to even begin to guess or imagine what kind of being could trigger such a burst of inspiration, a continuous explosion, allowing this nobody who aspired to godhood to instantly comprehend the Transmutation Circle that extracts divine power!

That's right!

Wang Zhen's grand ambition is to use his Alchemy abilities of decomposition, purification, and recombination to extract the divine power of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, from the Aztec Gold and integrate it into himself!

Next, activating and getting this colossal Transmutation Circle, which incorporates hundreds of Transmutation Circle, into operation requires a massive amount of mental and physical energy. Wang Zhen naturally suppressed his excitement and began to sit on the ground, devouring five or six cans of Grox meat before stopping.

Wang Zhen stood up, straightened his clothes, and then stared at the Aztec Gold in the center of the Transmutation Circle. He slammed his hands onto the Transmutation Circle Transmutation Circle, and the red light indicating its activation shone again. These red flashes, like serpents, raced across the Transmutation Circle under his mental power. As each Transmutation Circle was activated, these red flashes eventually returned to their origin, forming the outermost circle. This also meant that the entire colossal Transmutation Circle was activated and in operation!

However, this colossal Transmutation Circle is composed of hundreds of Transmutation Circle of varying sizes. Even though they are all activated and running, it will still take a while for them to perfectly integrate and operate as a whole. This is Wang Zhen's regret, but there's nothing he can do about it. As he himself said, he is still just a small fry, and this is his limit. He was only able to complete this plan thanks to a sudden burst of inspiration. Otherwise, even if he wanted to draw divine power, he would only be able to look on in vain!

"You seeker of truth, do you desire my divine power?"

Just as Wang Zhen was struggling to keep the colossal Transmutation Circle from slowly coming together, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

The voice was gentle, peaceful, free, and expansive, yet it sent a chill down Wang Zhen's spine.

"I existed here in the past, I exist here now, and I will exist here in the future. I am Quetzal Koyatell."

"You who seek the truth, do you desire my divine power?"

Only then did Wang Zhen notice that above the box of Aztec Gold, a faint, almost transparent phantom image of the feathered serpent god had quietly appeared!

"Your Majesty Quetzal Koyatell, what do you need me to do for you?"

Although Wang Zhen was agitated, he managed to remain calm and thoughtful. He knew that Quetzal Coyatter, while a deity of South America, was also a creator god, possessing not only a high rank but also formidable strength. His current gentle demeanor was likely a sign of something more.

"Having received my divine power, you must build a temple for me and melt down these gold coins to cast a feathered serpent statue, which you shall place atop the pyramid!"
