It took Jiang Ming three full days to successfully refine the heart and eyeballs into three Sacred Objects.
[Rank 7 Sacred Object: Fla Giant’s Heart – When equipped to the Core, it imbues a core race’s Fire Energy to 100 of their baseline attribute and grants the Skill: Fla Cloak. The durability of Fla Cloak depends on their fire attribute.]
[Rank 6 Sacred Object: Fla Giant’s Eye (Left) – When equipped to the Core, it multiplies a core race’s Fire Energy by ten and grants the Skill: Fla Giant Fist.]
[Rank 6 Sacred Object: Fla Giant’s Eye (Right) – When equipped to the Core, it multiplies a core race’s Fire Energy by ten and grants the Skill: Fla Giant Stomp.]
Equipping both of the Fla Giant’s Eyes also activated a hidden chanic. It would grant them the hidden Skill: Fla Giant’s Revenge, which consud Fire Energy to summon a visage of the Fla Giant to aid them in battle. The Skill’s duration was proportional to the user’s Fire Energy.
Han Wu’s heart pounded as he studied the three powerful Sacred Objects. Anyone with a fire-attribute core race would receive an overwhelming increase in combat strength after equipping them.
Unfortunately, Han Wu’s locusts were insects and weren’t compatible with the three Sacred Objects. As such, he stored them in his vault temporarily until they returned to the Divine Civilization.
Jing Jing had also succeeded in her endeavors. She used the Fla Giant’s skeleton and a vast supply of bone fragnts to form a towering behemoth of bone and fla.
The Ignis Colossus stood 10,000 ters tall. Its fra was ford from bone fragnts imbued with Fire Energy. Even without lifting a hand, the intense heat pouring off its body could vaporize Heroic life forms on the spot. It relied on close-quarters combat, and every blow would cause an explosive surge of fire.
Han Wu could already imagine how the landscape would change after the Ignis Colossus entered a battle. He wouldn’t mind if it fought in soone else’s divine realm, even if that ant fewer spoils for him. Naturally, he was unwilling to let it fight in his own divine realm. The last thing he wanted to see was his divine realm reduced to ruins.
Thankfully, Jing Jing’s divine realm was a barren wasteland filled with nothing but death. She wouldn’t mind having it fight in her divine realm.
The Origin of Mutation also used the Fla Giant’s blood as a catalyst and uncovered a new result. It created a reagent that altered a life form’s genes and awakened a fire-attribute mutation.
This reagent worked like a miracle drug for people like Han Wu with a weak core race. It could raise a core race’s potential by awakening an attribute affinity.
At present, however, it wasn’t useful to Han Wu. He had too many locusts and would’ve needed several tric tons of the reagent. The cost made that impossible for Han Wu, even with all of his riches. Thus, he temporarily stored the reagent and three Sacred Objects safely for later.
After dealing with the Fla Giant, they didn’t run into any other beasts that had evolved thirty tis or more, so Han Wu got bored. He wasn’t sure how long their journey through the vast Desolate Civilization would take. With nothing to occupy him, he felt as if he were trapped in a kind of purgatory.
His boredom faded when Jiang Ming pulled out a map and cried out, “Boss, guess what I’ve found?”
Since swearing allegiance to Han Wu, Jiang Ming had always addressed him as Boss. anwhile, Han Wu showed respect to him by calling him Uncle Jiang.
Han Wu perked up. “Uncle Jiang, did you find a treasure regarding the Desolate Civilization?”
After spending so much ti together, Han Wu knew that Jiang Ming would never bother him unless it concerned sothing urgent or significant.
Jiang Ming shook his head and pointed at the map. “We finally entered a region where this map works. I can tell where we are now.”
They had charted the Desolate Civilization as they traveled. Jiang Ming had checked the map as he usually did and noticed they had entered a region that had been explored in the past. They finally had a point of reference.
“Really? That’s great news!” Han Wu exclaid.
They had entered the Desolate Civilization through the spatial crack to escape the White Mane God King. They had been searching for a way out ever since. Jiang Ming’s discovery counted as real progress.
“The nearest exit to this place is only three months away, but...” He hesitated as he broke the news.
“But what? Uncle Jiang, please explain,” Han Wu urged.
“As far as I know, a tyrant here in the Desolate Civilization controls that exit. It has evolved more than forty tis, and a thin strand of the Desolate Civilization’s Will inhabits its body,” Jiang Ming explained.
Han Wu frowned. They had spent almost all their trump cards just to defeat the Fla Giant, which had evolved thirty-five tis. The tyrant that had evolved forty tis had Life Energy thirty-two tis higher than the Fla Giant.
Even without considering its Skills, Life Energy still offered a reliable way to approximate a life form’s overall strength, even though it wasn’t a direct asure of combat ability.
Han Wu took his ti to consider his options. “Are there any safer exits?”
“There are, but the closest one to us is twenty-three years away,” Jiang Ming replied.
Han Wu let the information sink in and dropped the idea of searching for another exit. He couldn’t travel for another twenty-three years.
“Uncle Jiang, it seems that we have to find more powerful life forms to hunt before we face it,” Han Wu said.
They needed to hunt down powerful Desolate Beasts to obtain rare resources. They could then use the ti to nurture powerful units to defeat the tyrant occupying the exit.
That was the basic plan, but Jiang Ming had his doubts. “There are plenty of Desolate Beasts nearby but most are weak. Few have evolved more than ten tis. We have already hunted the stronger ones. If we want to hunt more powerful targets, we will have to travel farther and that will cost us ti.”
Han Wu was stuck until a better idea ca to him. “Since there are no powerful life forms here, we can create them ourselves. We can feed or rge them. That should trigger Random Evolution’s condition.”
His proposal stunned Jiang Ming because he had never considered such a possibility. He carefully thought it through and realized that it was feasible. Still, no one had ever tried it.
Still, the fact that no one had tried it before didn’t an it couldn’t be done. He was looking forward to it now. “Then we will follow your lead, Boss. I will command the units to surround any Desolate Beasts they find.”
