Treasure of the Creation God

According to the legends recorded on the Falan Continent, the Falan Continent had an extremely long history. It had only been around ten thousand years since humans first had nations, and before that, there had been hundreds of thousands of years of history, known by people now as the primordial era.

In the primordial era ten thousand years ago, for reasons unknown, humans had no cultivation methods that could let them gain strength through training. As a result, human strength was extremely weak. Though their numbers still ranked first on the Falan Continent, their status was exceedingly low.

And at that time, the Falan Continent was precisely in an era when Magic Beasts ran rampant. Among the Magic Beasts were several called kings of divine beasts, whose strength had all reached a realm equivalent to divine-level experts. Beneath them existed even more transcendent Magic Beasts equivalent to Saint-rank existences. This group of Magic Beasts was not only terrifyingly powerful, their intelligence was in no way inferior to humans', and they became the true rulers of the Falan Continent at the time.

As old tales had it, the primordial divine beasts were so powerful they could shake heaven and earth; with a lift of the hand, seas turned to mulberry fields, and heaven and earth were overturned!

More importantly, this group of primordial divine beasts was not only terrifyingly strong, their intelligence was also in no way inferior to humans'. Led by these fellows, when facing a group of humans with no power whatsoever, the result was easy to imagine.

There was one very simple outcome: either they were all killed by Magic Beasts, or they were reduced to slaves.

Fortunately, humanity was chosen for the latter, and only thus avoided the fate of their entire race being annihilated.

Such days continued for tens of thousands of years, until one day ten thousand years ago, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and created a miraculous cultivation method that could allow ordinary people to rapidly gain strength, then taught it to the humans on the continent at the time.

After a period of time, human strength swiftly began to grow. Then, under the leadership of the Creation God, they forcefully killed the five divine-beast kings who had been the Magic Beasts' leaders at the time. From then on, they drove the Magic Beasts back to the dangerous regions where they ought to live, and humans began to truly become the masters of the Falan Continent.

This war of far-reaching significance was called the "War of Creation" by later generations, while the greatest contributor among humanity was respectfully honored by humans as the "Creation God."

After the great war ended, humans began to have their own nations, while the Creation God suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only countless legends. After another period of time, many cultivation methods such as magic and battle aura began to appear on the Falan Continent, and human strength began to step into its peak era.

These legends were recorded in many ancient texts on the continent, so Liu Feng was not unfamiliar with them. He simply had not connected them to this at first. After all, these were events from ten thousand years ago. People today merely treated them as a story; how many would think they were true?

So Liu Feng had never imagined that this so-called Treasure of the Creation God had actually been left behind by the Creation God from back then, whose strength was said to have already reached the very peak. But what exactly was this treasure? That invincible cultivation method? A divine artifact? At this thought, Liu Feng temporarily forgot that he was still in the midst of enormous trouble, and his little heart began to pound wildly against its own will.

"Nicholas, this thing is nothing but something illusory and intangible. Whether this treasure truly exists is still uncertain. You should think about how you're going to survive when you go to the Western Continent. Although the Zodiac Twelve Palaces don't have much influence there, The Church, which has a very good relationship with the Twelve Palaces, is there. It might not necessarily be easy for you!" Master Faraday sighed softly, also pulling Liu Feng back to reality from his fantasies about the Treasure of the Creation God.

That was right! Even if this treasure was real, what did it have to do with him? What damn use was there for a person who was about to go on the run to think about these things? Liu Feng shook his head with a helpless bitter smile and said, "When the time comes, I'll take it one step at a time. Thinking about anything now is useless!"

The Western Continent and the Eastern Continent were two places with very different customs and habits. There, The Church's influence could be described as terrifying. Just thinking about the relationship between that Knight of Light, Colin, and that noble young master, even without Master Faraday saying it, Liu Feng could guess that The Church and the Twelve Palaces were very close. However, the Western Continent's territory was much larger than the Eastern Continent's, and human nations did not occupy almost every place there like they did on the Eastern Continent. A large portion of the land belonged to humanoid races, such as the Elf Race, the Dwarf Race, the Giant Race, and so on.

So although the Western Continent was not exactly safe either, because its races were very complicated, it was actually a good place to hide. The reason Count Derek had decided back then to let Liu Feng go to the Western Continent for refuge was precisely this.

"That's true. Plans can never keep up with changes. Once you get there, take good care of yourself. Oh, right, your father asked me to ask you whether you need more attendants assigned to go with you?" Master Faraday asked with a sigh.

Liu Feng shook his head slightly. With this sort of matter, more people might not necessarily be a good thing; instead, it would make it easier to expose his whereabouts. Moreover, although the Palister Family's attendants were fairly strong, compared to the people of the Twelve Palaces, they were still far too lacking. Otherwise, why would Liu Feng need to go to the Western Continent for refuge?

This time, Liu Feng only planned to go alone. He did not even want to bring Turner. After all, there were still too many things he had to do in the manor: the children's cultivation, the auction of the Gold-Quenching Stone. Other than Turner, Liu Feng truly did not know who else he could genuinely trust.

"Right, Master, when can I come back?" After talking for so long, Liu Feng finally thought of this important question.

Hearing Liu Feng's words, Master Faraday could not help choking up. A bleak look once again flashed across his face. He slowly shook his head and said, "Your father didn't say anything about that. But I think you can come back whenever you believe you can."

Fuck! Liu Feng finally could not help cursing. From Master Faraday's meaning, it was obvious that Liu Feng could only return after he had sufficient strength, or after the Twelve Palaces no longer pursued this matter. That time might not be long, or it might be an entire lifetime. This made Liu Feng feel depressed again, so much so that he wished he could find the people of the Twelve Palaces right now and fight them head-on.

"Right, take this!" Master Faraday sighed again, slowly took two items out from his clothes, and placed them on the table in front of Liu Feng. One was a purple crystal card Liu Feng was relatively familiar with, while the other was a ring-shaped item that carried faint energy fluctuations.

"This card contains some money your father gave you. Don't let yourself suffer after you get over there. As for this Space Ring, it's a gift from me. It won't be convenient for you to store things while you're alone outside; with this, things will be much easier!" Master Faraday said softly.

This was a Space Ring? Liu Feng ignored the purple crystal card. Instead, he snatched up the ring and turned it over and over in his hands, examining it.

For some reason, although there were many magic systems on the Falan Continent, space magic was extremely rare. And storage rings like this, which had to be made with space magic, were even pitifully scarce. It was said that no one had made one in the past several thousand years; they had all been passed down from the primordial era. Therefore, they were extremely precious, and ordinary people, even common nobles, could not obtain one.

In his memories, Liu Feng only remembered Count Derek having one; he had never seen anyone else with one. He had not expected Master Faraday to give such a precious gift. This could not help moving Liu Feng. Over so many years, this old man really did seem to have treated Nicholas quite well.

At this moment, words of gratitude were already somewhat unnecessary, and Liu Feng was too lazy to be polite. After learning how to use the Space Ring, he directly slipped it onto his hand, then tossed the purple crystal card inside without even looking at it.

Seeing that everything he had come to do had been accomplished, Master Faraday was about to set off and take his leave. At this moment, Liu Feng could not help asking, "Master, I still don't quite understand. What connection does that Treasure of the Creation God have with York County?"

How could a tiny county town possibly be linked to the Creation God from ten thousand years ago? No matter how Liu Feng thought about it, he could not understand.

"Sigh! Why are you still concerned about this legendary thing? Forget it. Since you want to know so badly, there's no harm in telling you. This Treasure of the Creation God is said to be hidden on the little island where the Creation God lived back then. And York County is by the sea. Now do you understand?" Master Faraday said helplessly.

A little island? Liu Feng's heart suddenly trembled, and he blurted out, "What's the island called?"

"Lost Island! A strange little island said to be able to move!" Master Faraday said softly.

An island that could move? And it was called Lost? Liu Feng was first stunned, then his expression changed drastically in an instant. His body could not help swaying, and in the end, as though unable to stand steady, he plopped down onto the floor.

With both hands trembling nonstop as if he were having an epileptic fit, Liu Feng yanked down the strange necklace on his neck that the old ancestor had called the Divine Punishment Order. An incomparably shocked look appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, in Liu Feng's mind, the first words that had surged into his head before that cultivation method, brought at the same time as the change in the Divine Punishment Order when he had undone the seal on his body, suddenly echoed again.

"Eight Realms of Divine Soul, Lost Island!"

Fuck! Could the cultivation method of the Eight Realms of Divine Soul be that so-called Treasure of the Creation God? Liu Feng was completely dumbfounded...
