Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 481: Millions of Contribution Points, Instructions Before Departure (II)

Chapter 481: Millions of Contribution Points, Instructions Before Departure (II)

Lost in thought, Chen Chu passed through several security gates and quickly arrived at the base center’s office building.

Indeed, the center of Base One was a hundred-meter-tall office tower, with Xie Chen’s office located on the top, the thirty-third floor.

Strange, why does everyone like to build thirty-three floors?

Puzzled, Chen Chu passed through two more identity verifications before taking the elevator to the top floor. As soon as the doors opened, he found himself in a spacious office.

Xie Chen was seated behind a desk, reviewing some documents.

He looked up as Chen Chu entered and smiled. "You’re just in time, Little Chen[1]. Here, take a look. This is a list of the resources allocated for your next phase of cultivation."

As he spoke, Xie Chen handed over the document along with a spatial bracelet.

"Our human race has always placed great emphasis on nurturing the new generation, especially those with exceptional talent, who receive more resources. The reason is simple: only geniuses can quickly convert resources into strength, and maximize their potential in a short time.

"Even if those with average talent receive the same resources, they can only absorb them slowly, and will yield only twenty to thirty percent of the effect.

"As one of the most gifted individuals of the new generation, you naturally won’t be an exception. The resources here are enough to support your cultivation all the way to the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm."

Xie Chen knew that Chen Chu’s talents had been average at first, as it took him half a month to barely complete Foundation Building. Thus, his early cultivation involved low-level arts, and he hadn’t received as many resources as the other geniuses of his cohort.

Now, Xie Chen wanted to ensure Chen Chu no longer harbored any resentment or dissatisfaction over the past.

Chen Chu understood the message behind his words and smiled. "I understand. The Federation’s resources are limited and can’t be allocated to everyone."

Saying this, Chen Chu politely took the document and sat down opposite Xie Chen. As he glanced over the list, his eyes widened in surprise.

One hundred Ethereal Crystals to enhance and expand his storage space.

Fifteen Ninth-Grade Blood Lotus Seeds, each worth 2,000 merit points, to strengthen the vitality of level 8 powerhouses and accelerate their physical transformation.

Nine portions of colossal beast essence refined into Body-Refining Divine Liquid, each worth 2,000 merit points, and twenty Dragon Blood Crystals, each worth 1,600 merit points. These two god-level resources were to be used after the Blood Lotus Seeds became less effective.

According to the effects described in the document, Chen Chu would be able to bypass the flesh rebirth phase at the Eighth Heavenly Realm in just over a month, or even sooner.

Additionally, there was Star Crystal Powder, Pure Water of the Void, and Ethereal Realm Fruits to enhance his divine abilities after breaking through to the Ninth Heavenly Realm—resources that were ten times more valuable than those for the Eighth Realm.

Seeing all this, even Chen Chu couldn’t help but feel his breath quicken. The total value of these resources exceeded several million contribution points.

Noticing the subtle change in Chen Chu’s expression, Xie Chen slowly said, "These god-level resources will only help you accumulate faster. Once you reach the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, it’s up to you.

"The same goes for the Ninth Realm. These resources can help you reach the late stage, but breaking through to the peak is a hurdle no one can cross quickly.

"So, if you find yourself stuck at the peak of the Eighth or the late stage of the Ninth, remember not to get arrogant or impatient. Maintain a steady mindset."

Chen Chu gratefully replied, "Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency. I’ll remember it well."

Regardless of whether the advice would prove useful or suited him, Chen Chu was sincerely appreciative of Xie Chen’s kindness.

Xie Chen continued, handing over another spatial ring. "In addition to these, I’ve also temporarily requested some god-level resources to strengthen your world prototypes, including Heavenly Wood Branches and Earth-Breath Soil.

"These should be enough to solidify the foundations of your four worlds. And in this ring are Life Crystals I transferred from the Seventh Legion: thirty-two level 7, seven level 8, and one level 9.

"Currently, the Federation’s supply of crystals comes from three main sources. The largest quantity of low-level crystals comes from mutated beast farms around the world, and are provided to high schools and regular soldiers for early cultivation.

"However, after reaching level 5, the number of available crystals sharply declines, as most come from mutated beast battlefields in various countries. These are sold at low prices to geniuses and special forces for exchange.

"The Federation’s philosophy is not to hoard resources, but to distribute them as soon as they’re acquired, to boost our overall strength. In this situation, the high-level Life Crystals from the mythical world are extremely rare. One reason is the lack of stockpiles; the other is the difficulty of obtaining them.

"Over the years, most of the nearby high-level mutated and colossal beasts have been wiped out. So even I could only gather this many high-level Life Crystals on a short notice."

Xie Chen sighed with a hint of regret. "Unfortunately, you’ve already reached the Eighth Heavenly Realm, so anything below level 7 is useless to you, and those low-level crystals have been allocated as resources for the new term at the martial arts high schools and can’t be diverted."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Chen Chu accepted both the spatial bracelet and the ring.

With these resources, not only could he make rapid progress over the next two realms, but his colossal beast would also grow stronger in the process.

After finishing the discussion about resources, Xie Chen continued. "By the way, Little Chen, don’t rush into the mythical world just yet. The Councilor is preparing a forbidden weapon for you, and it’ll take a few more days.

"A forbidden weapon is a special secret treasure that contains the principle power of a supreme powerhouse. It shatters after a single use, but its power is immense.

"You’re already being targeted by the Purgatory Clan and the Demon Cult Alliance. If you’re exposed over there, it’s highly likely that a king-level enemy will launch an attack.

"In recent years, both our human race and the Purgatory Clan have been infiltrating each other during the War of Civilizations, so safety comes first. It’s best to wait for the forbidden weapon before heading out."

"No problem. I was planning to go into seclusion for a few days anyway."

Even if Xie Chen hadn’t mentioned it, Chen Chu had already intended to take some time to prepare before heading to the mythical world. He still had many things to sort out, such as refining his combat skills for higher levels.

After acquiring the seeds of five divine abilities and condensing the War God Body, both his strength attributes and combat style had undergone significant changes. Ordinary high-level combat skills, like the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd, could no longer bring out his full power.

In fact, when Chen Chu broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, he already noticed that his combat skills were insufficient. However, his rapid breakthroughs had left him no time to adjust before he reached the Eighth Realm.

Therefore, he needed to go into seclusion again, burn through his attribute points, and enter a state of epiphany to create a devastating combat skill that could fully utilize his advantages.

Additionally, now that he had enough Life Crystals, he needed to enhance his Space-Time Summoning Technique to perfection, or even push it to the max level.

When he finally entered the mythical world, summoning the Dragon Emperor would serve as one of his trump cards.

Although the Councilor was going to refine a forbidden weapon for him, top-tier life-saving tools like this had to be used sparingly, as each use meant one less.

While Chen Chu was conversing with Xie Chen, deep beneath the ocean, the Dragon Emperor was also busy.

The surrounding seawater spun in colossal whirlpools that reached up to the sky, rumbling as they churned. At the center, a waterless area spanning several hundred meters had air so hot it distorted the view.

Within the golden flames spewed by the Dragon Emperor, the bones of the Bladed Colossal Beast were continually being melted down. Most of the material had been incinerated to ashes, leaving only the most essential part behind.

After three days of continuous flames, the ground around the passage had already turned into molten lava, bubbling and rolling.

In the earlier battle, three level 9 colossal beast skeletons had been obtained—two at the beginning stage of level 9 and one at the quasi-mythical level.

However, the Blue Octopus Colossal Beast, a late-stage level 9 beast, had left no bones since it was a soft-bodied creature, with only its outer scales remaining.

Under the blazing golden flames, half of the Bladed Colossal Beast's skeleton gradually turned into a five-meter-long, three-meter-thick dark golden crystalline substance. Only then did the flames in the Dragon Emperor's mouth slowly die down.

Phew! Finally done.

Even with its immense power, continuously spewing flames for three days was exhausting. It felt like it had fired off dozens of rounds, and its legs were now feeling a bit weak.

The distant whirlpool erupted, and the Silver Colossal Dragon’s head cautiously poked through, letting out a low roar. Roar! Ao Tian, are you done burning?

The Dragon Emperor nodded and growled. Roar! Yes, I’m done. You can come in now.

Roar! Finally.

With that, the Silver Dragon excitedly opened its mouth, releasing an intense burst of cold air. Wherever the icy breath passed, the molten earth immediately froze and solidified.

Boom!

The 150-meter-long Silver Dragon burst out of the whirlpool, its heavy steps cracking the ground beneath it.

As it approached the Dragon Emperor, it curiously eyed the crystalline essence left behind from the burnt bones, unable to understand why the Dragon Emperor had bothered burning them.

The Dragon Emperor then growled slowly. Roar! Saixitia, have Big Horn and the others reached their peak yet?

The Silver Dragon shook its head. Roar! Horn Hime returned two days ago and said they’re still a bit short on accumulation. They've been guarding those resource points these past few days.

Just a little short, huh. The Dragon Emperor nodded slowly.

In the previous battle, aside from harvesting the flesh and blood of more than ten level 8 and 9 colossal beasts, they had also seized control of the high-level regeneration resources those beasts had occupied.

These resources were of an even higher level than the green Life Crystal shards and the Growth Crystals on the island where the ancient crocodile had resided, and had been distributed by the Dragon Emperor among its subordinates.

Zhulong took over the territory that had belonged to the Blue Octopus Colossal Beast, located just over ten kilometers from the passage.

The Nine-Headed Serpent claimed another, while the remaining resource points, rich in natural treasures, were temporarily allocated to the Single-Horned Kun and the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle.

After consuming part of the Bladed Colossal Beast’s flesh and blood, the quasi-mythical-level molecules triggered significant advancement in the late-stage level 8 Dragon Turtle and Kun.

With the abundance of energy and resources, they were now both nearing the peak of level 8.

However, the speed still felt a bit slow. The Dragon Emperor sighed slightly before letting out a low growl. Roar! Saixitia, I’m going to head over to the other side and take a look. I’ll leave things here in your care.

I’ve waited long enough. Since those guys on the other side haven’t made a move, I’ll just have to go find them myself.
