Chapter 216: A Glimpse into Ancient Secrets
Chapter 216: A Glimpse into Ancient Secrets
"It can be consumed, but it seems to be incompatible."
Qin Muye watched as the dwarf god's divine realm was pulled in and disintegrated, the entire divine realm already shattered and dissipating into points of light to be devoured.
This made the original Alien Labyrinth even more robust.
However, the cost was significant. The dwarf god died, and even the favored races within the divine realm perished.
This indicated that the divine realm and the deity were life-bound; the death of one would lead to the destruction of the other.
"There are no additional benefits, and the conversion rate is too low, probably only a one percent growth rate."
Qin Muye estimated the gains from the divine realm being converted into his Alien Labyrinth and felt somewhat disappointed.
The Alien Labyrinth was transformed from hell, and while it looked similar to a divine realm, they were fundamentally different things. Therefore, he shouldn't expect much gain, as it didn't align with Qin Muye's system.
"Low conversion, minimal growth, it's too much of a nuisance."
After complaining, Qin Muye decided to capture other racial deities without killing them, keeping them alive.
As for the anger this behavior might cause, he didn't care at all. He noticed that other lords seemed to be following suit, not only targeting other races and deities but also being ruthless toward other factions.
Previously, they hadn't been so blatant, but it seemed that after Qin Muye launched two consecutive attacks on the elves and dwarves, they started to act.
They suspected that Qin Muye was planning to harvest resources and then leave, especially since most of the information about the Ancient God Revival event was disclosed by him.
Therefore, all the lords were closely observing Qin Muye's actions, and his unusual behavior naturally drew attention. First, he killed the Wisdom Tree, then destroyed the Elven Court and captured the Elven God, and now he had attacked the dwarves' Steel City and killed the Dwarf God.
These three major actions seemed too hasty.
Moreover, with Ancient God relics scattered everywhere, the original Ancient God corruption level had risen to 36%, and it continued to rise, increasing by one percent every day.
It looked like this event was going to be a disaster, even the True Dragon Emperor was struggling. The event points were also rising rapidly, which was not a good sign, as it indicated a surge in corruption, Ancient God relics, and Ancient God minions.
Qin Muye's points were also accumulating. During his plundering, he would also destroy Ancient God relics or minions with a single shot.
Raiding dungeons was no longer worth it; it was faster to earn points directly. Going through a dungeon could take several hours, while destroying an Ancient God relic took only a second and provided substantial point rewards, which was much better than getting a small amount of resources and an uncertain treasure chest.
The treasure chests mostly contained special materials, which Qin Muye didn't find particularly useful.
These so-called special materials were actually parts from Ancient God minions, which had little practical use.
"Master, the next target should be the centaur race. They are relatively close, and other lords won't be interested in them, making it a good opportunity for us to handle them," Black Hand said.
Qin Muye had no objections and nodded, letting Black Hand proceed.
Currently, he had two Golden Treasure Chests, one from the Elven Moonstone Queen and the other from the Dwarven Golden King.
He didn't plan to open them immediately and decided to save them until he could research the Elven God and Garden Fairies to see if he could enhance the luck of the faeries before opening them.
He might be able to obtain random dungeon scrolls from all of them.
As for other items, he wasn't particularly interested, as he didn't know what they might contain.
While he was thinking, the floating city began to jump again.
Qin Muye didn't pay much attention and instructed Tianqi to bring out the Elven God. After using physical anesthesia and some strange methods, he finally managed to knock out the Elven God.
After all, it was a 6th-rank entity, and while it couldn't match a lord, it still had considerable strength.
Qin Muye's research began immediately. "An interesting structure, but the Elven God doesn't seem to be a typical magical creature. It's more like an energy aggregate, which is why it has a significant resistance to Ancient God power."
"Moreover, there are clear signs of degeneration, giving me the impression that it has been artificially castrated."
Qin Muye's mention of castration was not about a specific organ, but rather the removal of the ability to resist the power of the Ancient Gods.
"Little wonder they are called Ancient Gods. Perhaps the initial decline of the Race Mother was closely tied to these deities."
"Race deities? Is it because they gained the authority of the Race Mother?"
Originally, he wanted to investigate the connection between the Elven God's luck and his body, but he never expected to find something even more absurd.
This also explained why the deities were so eager to combat the Ancient Gods and were not affected by their power. They were essentially weapons against the Ancient Gods, but their blades had been removed, leaving only the handles.
Thus, they were capable in spirit but powerless in action.
Qin Muye vaguely sensed that he had uncovered some ancient secrets. These details were naturally absent from the Wisdom Tree's memories, as the Wisdom Tree would never reveal such true secrets to him. The Wisdom Tree was not a fool.
"Just from this, it seems that the current deities might not even know their true situation?" Qin Muye was somewhat puzzled.
If the Ancient Gods were indeed overthrown by these deities, it seemed unlikely that they would have no defenses in place, acting like innocent novices who knew nothing.
It couldn't be that their memories and minds were also erased.
Well, that was a real possibility. After all, the saying "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbits are dead, the dogs are cooked" was not uncommon.
However, there was a significant question: who created the deities, and who removed their primary functions after the Ancient Gods were defeated?
"Am I caught in some terrifying ancient plot?" Qin Muye muttered. "It shouldn't be, this is a magical continent, and such things are more likely to occur in fantasy or xianxia worlds."
"The categories don't fit, and besides, who can live for tens of thousands of years except for the descendants of the Ancient Gods who have been hiding, and a few Immortal Races who don't have such long lifespans."
Qin Muye was unsure about the lifespans of deities, but the Immortal Races generally lived between one to two thousand years, not much longer.
"Thinking about it, with the elves' lifespans, they can't really be the ancestral RBQ (Rotten Bloodline) either, given they only live up to two thousand years, which is the maximum. Most elves don't even reach that age."
Qin Muye felt that the elves on this magical continent were not suitable to bear the title of ancestral RBQ. Most elves probably only lived around a thousand years, and many died due to illness, accidents, and other factors. Those who lived to two thousand years were extremely rare.
"Finally, I found it. If I hadn't, I might have discovered something truly significant from the Elven God."
Qin Muye quickly found the element related to luck within the Elven God. The Elven God's predecessor was a Garden Fairy, and luck was not just a blessing he bestowed upon the Garden Fairies but also a racial ability.
Otherwise, if it were just a deity's blessing, it would not have been inherited by the transformed fairies. This was likely a special ability formed by combining the racial ability with the deity's blessing.
The fairies inherited the garden luck before they received the deity's blessing.
"This combination method is quite interesting."
As he delved deeper into his research, Qin Muye recorded a large amount of data about the Garden Luck skill. In the Elven God, it should not be called Garden Luck but rather Divine Luck.
Unfortunately, the Elven God's luck was not strong enough. If he had truly exceptional luck, he would not have been captured by Qin Muye and put on the operating table.
If he had truly unparalleled luck, Qin Muye would have been the one to suffer. Therefore, it was clear that the luck-related ability was not a core skill but rather a secondary benefit that came with becoming a deity.
"Non-core ability is good. This means there won't be too many restrictions and secrets." Qin Muye was not interested in the Elven God's core abilities but wanted to optimize the Garden Fairies' luck.
From what he observed, neither the Elven God nor the Garden Fairies placed much emphasis on this ability, but this did not stop Qin Muye from valuing it. After all, he had relied on the fairies' luck to gather many resources at the beginning, and he believed it had great potential.
