CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 341: CAUSALITY SWAP, ASCEND TO RADIANT MOON!

The seven materials all contained a rich power of causality, each with different forms.

The Peach Child who deduced divinations, a well reflecting the lives of countless people, a mysterious shadow weaving an invisible web...

Chu Yi glanced over them, slightly disappointed.

The path of the Divine Hand had been set, but for the next stage, there was no corresponding main material, which also meant the resulting feast would not be perfect.

However, the promotion of the Divine Hand was crucial for Chu Yi.

The hidden power behind the Enchanting Demon Royal Court was laying out causal plans, countering causality with causality.

"Is this all the causal materials here?"

Chu Yi asked inadvertently.

Waves of time rippled through the void, and an echo responded from within the flow of time:

"Lord Chu Yi, there are a total of seven causal materials with no risk, and a few others still in the risk assessment phase have not been presented to you for safety considerations."

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Alright, bring out all the materials related to causality for me to see!"

"But, Lord Chu Yi, touching unidentified treasures could lead to unknown troubles."

"I said, bring them all out."

"But..."

"Insolent!"

Chu Yi shouted angrily, berating the withered and thriving who guarded this place with a torrent of insults:

"I am the husband of the Princess, the son of the Sun Gods, the future ruler of the Royal Court, who will reign supreme over the world!"

"You are nothing but a mere gatekeeping servant, a half-dead mutt, daring to defy my orders time and again!"

"Go quickly, or I’ll report you and have you killed."

The withered and thriving: "..."

The branches twitched.

The true form of the withered and thriving, rooted in the depths of the River of Time, was about to explode with anger.

Despite being the Master of the World, an ancient mythical creature, having slain numerous Evil God’s Favored, was now inexplicably scolded by a fledgling.

Preposterous!

I even gave you a meeting gift, and you turn your back on me?

I only kindly reminded you and lost face, utterly arrogant!

And you think you can have me killed by complaining?

If not for the Princess waiting outside, I’d be the first to kill you, youngling!

The River of Time churned a few times, spitting out over a hundred materials, all causal-related, at least of Dawn Star grade!

"Good dog."

Chu Yi praised, giving no face to the withered and thriving.

He vaguely sensed that the earlier assassination in this River of Time could only be orchestrated by someone here, difficult to guess indeed.

The withered and thriving couldn’t have bound such a strong fate to him, it should be a pawn of the hidden mastermind.

In this treasure vault unobserved by the Princess, the withered and thriving would surely make a move.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner granted him the stature of a Radiant Moon, giving him the means to resist, necessitating the swift enhancement of the Divine Hand.

"Causality, causality."

Chu Yi murmured, the Clock Eye reflecting the twilight sky, and keen insight analyzed the essence of the treasures, a time-consuming task.

But with the augmentation of the Clock Eye, he could linger longer in the vault, meticulously selecting.

For a long time.

Chu Yi’s gaze locked onto one, selected from among hundreds, a material of only Dawn Star quality.

A sprouting tender shoot, lush green and small, merely a finger’s length, with a root that was a tangled mess of threads, so fragile that a slight pull would rip it out.

"Even my Deceit Beast can’t discern its essence, it’s related to destiny and divinity."

"Though only Dawn Star quality, it is nearing Radiant Moon level, with immense potential."

"More crucially, it pertains to a fallen deity, a fateful connection to me, it’s decided, it will be you."

The second rune flew out, unraveling the seal of this treasure.

Chu Yi wandered among them, allowing the time waves to wash over him, his body becoming ethereal.

The next moment.

A dashing figure emerged from a corner of time, identical to Chu Yi.

He gazed towards Chu Yi, eyes vacant, with a murmur from the withered and thriving:

"The three great causal links are two-thirds complete, once he selects the third to complete, with causal exchange, you’ll become Chu Yi."

"Chu Yi" nodded, intangible threads of causality entwined around his limbs, shouting and cursing:

"Insolent..."

"I am the husband of the Princess..."

"You are merely a gatekeeping servant..."

"Go quickly, or I’ll report you and have you killed."

"Good dog!"

The withered and thriving: "..."

With zero frame’s first move, catching all off guard.

After speaking, "Chu Yi" stepped into time and vanished in a flash.

...

The dawn sky shattered, a mad will permeating through.

The undulating mountains, a barren expanse, laid bare a massive crater a thousand miles in diameter, encircled by layers of rock, resembling a giant mouth filled with sharp teeth from a bird’s-eye view.

The rocks spawned insect limbs, ores birthed tumors, blood vessels drifted and spread like ribbons, preying on tiny flying insects in the air.

Like this vast Abyss, when Chu Yi arrived, it filled his entire field of vision, countless in number.

"Could this place be the bizarre form left by a fallen deity?"

Chu Yi pondered, grabbing a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, dragging out a veil of gray mist to obscure his causality as he delved into the massive chasm.

Thanks to the concealment of the gray mist, the special demons asleep and hunting in the abyss didn’t notice the presence of a living being, allowing Chu Yi to proceed deeper step by step.

Along the way, he encountered countless indescribable peculiarities, broadening his horizons.

Unknowing how deep he descended, beyond the reach of light, where even shadows were living entities, with some peculiar beings gnawing at the gray mist mimicked by Chu Yi.

It’s truly...

Colorful indeed!

"Chaos, corruption, grotesque... So plentiful, a treasure trove for Abyssal Beast Tamers."

Chu Yi swiftly traversed over a thousand miles, finally reaching the deepest part of the abyss, where golden light shimmered.

Unlike the oddities above, this was a fengshui treasure land, with clear streams and exotic blooms, akin to the Water Curtain Cave.

In the center was a lake, formed by a heap of limbs, yet lacking the crimson hue, instead blazing like gold.

Chu Yi keenly noticed a thin strand of spirituality in the golden lake.

Only Extraordinary Life possessed spirituality!

He extracted it, and that sliver of spirituality in the lake transformed into a glowing butterfly, landing in his palm and turning into a tender sprout.

[Quantum Sprout*1]

"Intriguing, it wasn’t born from spirituality, but separated from a great existence, is it part of a god’s body?"

Chu Yi had a slew of conjectures.

However, a Dawn Star grade can’t serve as the main ingredient for a 4-star banquet; a little trick is needed.

He took out a crimson-gold treasure, though only palm-sized, and tossed the Quantum Sprout into it!

Furnace of Life!

Bestowing the potential for evolution to all things!

Although incomplete Life Sequence prevented the Furnace of Life from exerting its full Mighty Power, enhancing a material’s quality was straightforward.

As Chu Yi had a Deceit Beast, the Furnace of Life couldn’t evolve the Deceit Beast, so he tossed it into Ten Thousand Souls Ridge, letting Jiu Ying and others tinker, bestowing the potential for evolution.

"Quantum Sprout, upgraded to Radiant Moon quality in the Furnace of Life, successfully on first attempt."

Chu Yi directly used [Creation Out of Nothing], imprinting the occurring future onto the world, then investing a sliver of Moon God Divinity.

Perhaps the future Furnace of Life elevating a past material might trigger a peculiar reaction.

Let the figures of fate worry about that.
