Three types of materials were quickly processed, and Su Xiao began creating the Sun God·Apollo.
White light flickered in Su Xiao’s hands, and a huge reaction occurred when the three materials rged.
Whoosh!
A wave of heat rushed toward him, and a fireball appeared between Su Xiao’s hands, like a miniature sun. So crystal-clear shards floated beside the fireball; these were soul crystal fragnts, stabilizing the reaction. Without them, the other two materials would explode upon contact.
The fireball floated between Su Xiao’s hands, sotis expanding, sotis contracting. The compressed energy was quite berserk. Bu Bu Wang was so frightened it hid behind Su Xiao.
However, this didn’t help at all. Creating Apollo in the Reincarnation Paradise wasn’t dangerous, but in this world, a single mistake could cause Apollo to explode, potentially killing Su Xiao.
Apollo is strong, no doubt, but creating it is too dangerous. If the energy inside the fireball exploded now, it could vaporize Su Xiao in an instant.
Su Xiao stayed highly concentrated. In the night, the fireball in his hands lit up half of the One-Line Sky Valley, while the Eye of the Apostle above closely monitored the surroundings.
About ten minutes later, an apple-sized orb appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. The surface of the orb was a blazing red, like a small sun.
After putting away the completed Apollo, Su Xiao began working on the second one.
Gulu Gulu～
The soup bubbled, filling the air with the aroma of at. By the ti the venison stew was ready, Su Xiao had created a second Apollo. If he found himself in a dire situation during the upcoming Contractor’s lee, all the enemies around him would face death.
Sure, Apollo was indeed powerful, but it had a fatal flaw; it required a full 30 seconds to detonate.
Once activated, any Contractor with even moderate perception would imdiately sense the chilling threat and quickly flee. Not in specific environnts, Apollo could hardly unleash its power—chances were, by the ti Apollo was activated, the enemies within its blast radius would have escaped, and it would end up blowing up nothing.
But there’s a benefit as well. If Su Xiao were in a pinch, and he activated Apollo, the enemies sensing its terrifying intimidation might choose to ignore the severely injured Su Xiao and flee the blast area, giving Su Xiao so breathing room.
Additionally, Apollo can be stopped within 10 seconds of activation. But beyond that, it would explode unchecked.
Having safely stored Apollo, Su Xiao gave it the nickna Big Pineapple. If the enemies tried to kill him, he’d send them a Big Pineapple first.
It’s no longer just about a last stand; Su Xiao was willing to blow up the entire ship.
In the valley, Su Xiao and Bu Bu Wang both held bowls of soup, sipping noisily. In this cold weather, a hot bowl of at soup was very comforting.
After filling their bellies, Su Xiao leaned against a rock wall, playing with a crystal bottle in his hand—an item gifted by Night Elf Princess Anna.

...
Su Xiao previously thought this crystal bottle was of gold-quality potion; now it seems it is between light gold and gold quality.
If secondary preparation can be completed, the quality of this item will very likely elevate to gold quality. Even so, drinking it directly already has a strong effect.
After putting away the crystal bottle, Su Xiao, who had the ability for secondary preparation, noted that he could substitute the materials with Paradise coins upon returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.
However, this also depends on whether the upcoming Contractor’s lee turns intense. If things looked grim, Su Xiao will have to use it as a healing item.
After a short rest against the rock wall, Su Xiao continued on his way.
...
The following morning, Su Xiao, admiring the scenery along the way, found himself in front of a pile of ruins: the ’Alterac’ Ancient Ruins had been reached.
There were no enemies encountered along the way, which explained the lack of rewards for the task.
Su Xiao approached the ruins. Upon entering the ’Alterac’ Relics, he discovered it was a massive site.
The ruins had existed for thousands of years, so so standing stone tablets had begun to weather, crumbling like tofu when touched.
The ruins were overgrown with wild grass; a large number of vine-like plants climbed the remnants of the structures. Monkeys swung from the vines; this had beco their habitat.
[Tip: Hunter has entered the Alterac Ancient Ruins. You have 2 hours to delve into the ruins and enter the Palace of the Dusk Dynasty.]
A virtual map appeared before Su Xiao. It covered the entire ancient ruins.
The ruins covered a vast area, spanning 30 kiloters horizontally and 28 kiloters vertically, roughly forming a square.
Through the virtual map, Su Xiao discovered a circle in the center of the ruins marked ’Palace of the Dusk Dynasty.’ This was his target.
Su Xiao mapped out the shortest route to penetrate the depths of the ruins.
As he ventured deeper into the ruins, Su Xiao realized this was once the site of a kingdom, the capital of a long-lost civilization.
Most residential buildings had vanished, leaving only weathered stones. Only a few large stone sculptures or stone buildings remained intact.
Decay perated this ancient place; the forr glory reduced to re stones.
The ruins could be divided into four areas. The outermost zone was the Wild Grass Area, where Su Xiao currently stood, known as Zone 4.
Moving forward led to the Tree Area, where many trees ford a circular forest encircling the ruins’ center, known as Zone 3.
Beyond the Tree Area was a dense field of ruins and semi-weathered pillars. This maze-like terrain made it difficult to find soone hiding inside, known as Zone 2.
Su Xiao carried a notebook, recording brief notes of the journey’s sights.
After passing through Zone 2, Su Xiao paused. Ahead was a stone slab plaza with a bottomless pit at its center, at least two kiloters in diater. The pit was pitch black, its depths unfathomable.
Standing at the edge of the circle, Su Xiao felt a hint of malice emanating from the darkness, along with a chilling aura. It seed sothing deadly lay hidden below.
In the center of this massive pit was an extrely well-preserved palace, the ’Palace of the Dusk Dynasty,’ suspended above the pit.
