Presto hadn't joined the Domain for long, but he'd already heard all kinds of rumors about that Goddess of the Domain.
It wasn't that he didn't know such a Goddess existed; he also believed she was strong to the point of shaking heaven and earth, making ghosts and gods weep. After all, he himself bore several blessings personally bestowed by the Goddess.
But that didn't an this Goddess wasn't shrouded behind a veil of mystery.
On the contrary, the closer he ca into contact with her, the thicker that air of mystery beca.
Because the rumors about her just got more and more outrageous.
So said she could reverse the long river of ti, that her attacks could trace back tens of thousands of years, strike at taboos at the source of history, or pierce tens of thousands of years forward to erase any potential future threat that might harm her.
So said she could alter the very laws of the world, that in her presence everything was illusion, and her gaze could cross countless Planes to stab straight into your true point of weakness.
Others said a single word from her could create a whole batch of Legendary-level Super-Tier Soldiers, and that every word she spoke could sway the fate of the entire world.
Anyway, the more Presto listened, the more terrified he felt, and the more unfathomable this Goddess beca in his heart.
He couldn't see through her, simply couldn't see through her strength at all.
The key thing was, this big shot wasn't even the hiding type. Presto had once secretly spied her from afar, watching as she strolled through the Domain's garden in a gorgeous vermilion palace dress.
Those Knights practically worshiped her as a true deity, fanatical to the extre. And they swore up and down that every legend about her was true.
So if she really did have sothing as illusory as a Glory Crystal, Presto wouldn't even be surprised.
Lin Rui of course wasn't going to answer their questions. Forces collecting Origin Treasure Chests were countless; at best he'd just started collecting earlier than most. No way could the others conclude from that alone that he'd obtained a Glory Crystal.
So Lin Rui said calmly, "Origin Treasure Chests have lots of uses. Do you really think everyone is only after that so‑called 'illusory' Glory Crystal?"
Hearing Lin Rui say this, the others secretly let out a breath of relief. Indeed, even without aiming for a Glory Crystal, many forces would still stash away Origin Treasure Chests just to gamble on their luck.
They might blast fall Semi-Divine Artifacts, Sacred Treasures, and all kinds of other things; the value was still extrely considerable.
To convince the others, Lin Rui directly took out the Semi-Divine Artifact: Netherworld Balancer, the very first treasure he had ever opened from an Origin Treasure Chest.
It was a supre treasure for a Lone Ranger. For a Lone Ranger, once he had this Semi-Divine Artifact, he wouldn't even bother to trade it for two or three Divine Artifacts from anyone else.
With this thing, a Lone Ranger would basically never again have to fear encirclent by armies.
Back then, Emperor Setra, a Tier Thirteen existence, would rather put away all his other Divine Artifacts and still keep this scale clutched in his hand.
And the next instant, sure enough, the Savage Blood Throne's breathing grew heavy. He stared fixedly at the treasure in Lin Rui's hand and spoke in an urgent tone: "Kid, I don't have any Origin Treasure Chests. How about I trade you two Divine Core Fragnts for that little treasure of yours?"
Two Divine Core Fragnts?
Lin Rui pondered for a mont. It seed that at this Divine Throne Banquet, basically every Divine Throne had two Divine Core Fragnts.
No wonder the Lusen Chamber of Comrce said they all had the potential to beco gods.
That "potential" was literally just that—they actually had the potential!
Sure enough, the Golden Treasure Hall had been right: as long as your strength was great enough, then with early investnts, your later speed in collecting Divine Core Fragnts would only get faster.
If Lin Rui were strong enough right now, he could visit them one by one, snatch all their Divine Core Fragnts, and he'd be able to beco a god in no ti.
So at the mont, what mattered more was still accumulating his own power. Otherwise, after becoming a god, if his foundation wasn't deep enough, he might not even be able to gain a foothold in the Divine Realm.
After all, Wutong had clearly warned him that plenty of trouble would co knocking in the future.
As for becoming a god, Lin Rui planned to push it back a bit, accumulate for a while, and consider it around the Plane Ranking Trials.
Therefore, regarding the Savage Blood Throne's request, Lin Rui directly refused, saying, "Not having an Origin Treasure Chest is your problem. I only want Origin Treasure Chests."
As soon as the words fell, the Savage Blood Throne erupted on the spot. His roar almost blew the roof off, as he bellowed in fury, "What! You dare refuse ? You haven't even seen what happens to those who offend ! I'll ravage your Domain into a Ghostly Realm, tear every woman in your Domain to pieces, and use their wails to play you a funeral dirge!"
Before Lin Rui could even reply, his loyal lackey, the Dragon Fla Throne Presto, roared back, "Trash, who gave you the courage to provoke my great Lord? If you dare show your face, I'll roast you into cinders!"
Everyone at the Divine Throne Banquet narrowed their eyes at once and turned their gaze toward the Dragon Fla Throne.
Although the Dragon Fla Throne's attitude earlier had already made people suspect he'd joined the Golden Pansy Domain, re speculation was nothing compared to the shock of hearing it confird from his own mouth!
Presto was one of the participants at the Divine Throne Banquet. Being able to enter this Banquet ant he already had the potential to beco a god. Divine Core Fragnts might be nurous in theory, but they were still Mythical Level materials! Every ti a Divine Core Fragnt slid down from the night sky, it set off a storm of blood and slaughter.
To snatch a Divine Core Fragnt in such brutal carnage and then keep it safe—only a truly extraordinary force could pull that off.
Yet such a force, fully capable of becoming a god on its own, had actually joined another power.
This was simply unimaginable. Just what kind of attraction did the Golden Pansy Domain possess, that it could make Presto abandon even his faith in the Dragon God and join them instead?
