    Major General Keri didn’t say much, but his appearance here was actually a very clear signal.


    “Kid, you’ve won.”


    Major General Keri said this as soon as they met. Lin Xiao chuckled sheepishly; this was within his expectations.


    He had been worried that Major General Keri might have felt unbnced and added something to the situation, but now it seemed that he wouldn’t. His actions were indeed within the permitted scope of the rules.


    Major General Keri stretched out his hand and a cup of steaming hot coffee appeared in front of him. He took a small sip and said,


    “Within the scope allowed by the rules, you’ve already won. However, the second and third ces have not yet been determined. We’ll have to wait a bit longer.”


    He paused for a moment before continuing,


    “Before that, I have a story to tell you. Would you be interested in hearing it kid?” ⁸ ’


    “It would be an honor!”


    It was a no-brainer. He was very interested in the secrets imparted by a being with great divine power.


    “A long time ago, when humanity just discovered the Divine Territory game, the emergence of the game led to the birth of one demigod after another, even True Gods, and the countries of Earth united like never before, forming the true Earth United Nations and beginning the exploration and plundering of the Exotic Crystal Wall.”


    “Back then, the strongest military force of the Earth United Nations was called the Ound Expeditionary Army,posed of the strongest former political bodies. It was responsible for entering the Ounds to attack various Foreign Dimensions, plundering resources and rules to strengthen the Main World.” “At first, it was very smooth sailing, conquering dozens of dimensions of various sizes, a massive amount of resources from the Foreign Dimensions, filling the Main World, making it stronger and stronger.”


    “But the good times didn’tst. Our rampant plundering finally rmed an origin of the Exotic Crystal Wall, and deities from the Other World discovered us, from small-scale skirmishes at first, torge-scale divine wars, until a super divine war involving beings with powerful divine power ensued, and the Expeditionary Army was defeated.”


    Following the paths we opened, the enemy discovered the Main World, and with three powerful divine powers at the forefront, a powerful god system from the Other World began to invade the Main World. The Expeditionary Army fell back step by step, and the enemy even advanced deep into the Subspace.”


    “At this moment of crisis, the Earth UN government initiated two important ns. One was the Hope Project, which sent elites to form an expeditionary vanguard to enter different Exotic Crystal Walls. One intention was to find potentially friendly deities from the Other World. If we couldn’t find friendly deities, then we would lead a wolf into our home, using one enemy to fight another.”


    “The other n was called the Starfire Project, which allowed a group of Divine Territory yers who had achieved divinity to take arge number of humans, technology, and resources, and leave the Main World, heading toward other unknown Crystal Walls to escape the war.”


    Lm Xiao listened attentively, not daring to utter a word. This ancient secret was not something he’d normally have the chance to hear.


    “As for me, I was a member of the vanguard, leading my team into the vast Chaotic Void Sea, searching for a Crystal Wall System that might harbor powerful entities, until ”


    At this point, Lin Xiao looked even more serious. He could feel that this was the essence of the story.


    “In the fourth Crystal Wall System we discovered, it was being invaded by other powerful Crystal Wall Systems and was on the verge of destruction. When we arrived, what we saw was thest great being of this Crystal Wall System being besieged and falling to three other great beings. But while those three great beings were plundering the essence of this Crystal Wall System’s origin, its core suddenly exploded and vanished, causing the Crystal Wall System to begin copsing.”


    “Next, we were hunted by this huge Divine System, and all of my teammates perished one by one. In a desperate situation, 1 plunged into a Chaos Vortex and was tossed into this Crystal Wall System.”


    “After that, in a remote dimension of this Crystal Wall System, I turned a Divine Territory into a God Country, began spreading my faith, and quickly grew in power. Within a mere millennium, I ascended to be a powerful divine power and also established a powerful Divine System, ruling over amunity of dimensions.”


    “My rapid ascendance attracted the attention and covetousness of other powerful Divine Systems nearby, and a war involving four powerful Divine Systems, with nine mighty divine powers, began.”


    “My Divine System was up against the attack of three powerful Divine Systems. The divine warsted an entire forty thousand years, and my own power also rapidly grew from a newly ascended powerful divine power to a Level 19 of the God Level by the end of the war, just one step away from ascending to that great divine power.”


    “Hiss!”


    Lm Xiao couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. This seemingly world-weary elder before his death was actually a Level 19 powerful divine power. That was incredibly impressive.


    I he God Level of a powerful divine power ranges from Level 15 to Level 19, with the next Level 20 being the legendary great divine power, a terrifying existence that even the current Main World only had a very few of, the pirs of a civilization.


    Apart from the few great divine powers, there aren’t many Level 19 powerful divine powers in the current Main World.


    However, the increasinglyrge-scale divine wars finally drew the attention of one great being….”


    At this point, Major General Keri’s face showed a wistful expression, one filled with extreme reluctance and fear, as he continued,


    “In that battle, my main faith dimension was shattered by our divine power, countless deities perished, and the great being eventually withdrew, and I too fell!”


    Major General Keri didn’t seem keen on delving into the details of that battle, briefly mentioning the massive divine war that involved a great divine power, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao and said,


    “Do you want to know what my precious artifact is?”


    Lin Xiao nodded vigorously.


    He had some guesses, but he still needed Major General Keri to say it out loud to know if it was true.


    You’re a smart kid, you probably have some guesses, yes, this treasure in my hand is indeed a Crystal Wall System’s Core that was destroyed, and it identally fell into my hands,” said Keri.


    Lin Xiao’s pupils dted uncontrobly, and tion surged in his heart.


    “But it’s damaged!” Keri added.


    The turn of events nearly took his breath away, and he asked involuntarily, “Was it from that great war?”


    “Correct, to save my life, I exhausted the remaining origin from the Origin Core to repel that great being, and I fell with it. But before falling, I separated a wisp of my remnant soul along with a fragment of Divine Kingdom and the treasure and concealed them. Over these countless years, I’ve opened the God’s Tomb every ten thousand years or so until today, when I finally saw my kin arrive in this Crystal Wall System,” exined Keri.


    Suddenly, Major General Keri extended his right hand, and in his palm, a familiar sphere of light emerged, with a piece of information unstintingly appearing in Lin Xiao’s mind:


    A shattered Crystal Wall System’s Core exterior: the Core of a once-thriving Crystal Wall System left behind after destruction, subjected to unimaginable external forces, with the core’s origin drained, leaving only its shell.


    Lin Xiao….


    The information appeared out of nowhere, and anyone who saw the sphere of light would have the details of this objecte to mind automatically, as if it were a rule set in the depths of the universe.


    This object…. Lm Xiao scratched his head and asked, “Major General, this thing is damaged, does it still have any use?”


    Suddenly, Major General Keri tossed the sphere of light, which startled Lin Xiao into a fluster as he clumsily caught it. In the next second, the light sphere vanished into thin air and reappeared in the center of his Sea of Gods, colliding with the Creation Rubik’s Cube upying the central space.


    “Boom!”


    Lin Xiao felt as if a supernova had exploded within his mind, as an unimaginable power erupted, sweeping across his entire Sea of Gods with waves of light. He was plunged into a deep drowsiness and lost consciousness.


    He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when he regained his senses, his consciousness plunged into the Sea of Gods. There, he saw the Magic Cube towering at the center, around which a crystalline sphere, transparent but fractured with numerous fine cracks, orbited.


    Clearly, in the sh between the two, the Creation Rubik’s Cube had the absolute upper hand, relegating the shattered sphere to a subordinate position. “This treasure came into my possession just like that?” Lin Xiao had a feeling of child’s y, but that was indeed the case, as Major General Keri had bequeathed the valuable item to him in advance.


    At that moment, Keri’s voice re-emerged in his mind, and Lin Xiao quicklyposed himself to listen as Keri continued, “Although it is damaged, it is still a part of a Crystal Wall System’s Origin Core and possesses various miraculous effects that are beyond your imagination. You will understand when you experience itter. Additionally….”


    Keri fell silent for a moment, seemingly hesitating before continuing this time not with spoken words, but with a direct message to Lin Xiao’s Sea of Gods:


    “If you have the heaven-defying opportunity to repair its core, you could follow the path I once walked and have the chance to ascend to Powerful Divine Power.”


    “Promoting Powerful Divine Power….” Lin Xiao didn’t dare utter these words, but the immense shock in his expression reflected his current feelings.


    “Don’t tell anyone about what I’ve told you afterward. Not until you’ve ascended to Powerful Divine Power, and that includes your parents and your wife!” Keri warned.


    Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly.


    If it were true, indeed, this was something that couldn’t be shared with anyone and had to rot in his heart.


    In the eyes of others, he had only obtained a broken treasure that couldn’t be repaired. No one could mention anything else.


    Most people couldn’t imagine the temptation that a treasure capable of stepping into Powerful Divine Power presented to those with Powerful Divine Power. Even if the difficulty of repair was incredibly high and the probability was low, the mere chance was enough to draw swarms of Powerful Divine Power to fight over it, even the two formidable beings outside the God’s Tomb would not resist this lure.


    Therefore, this would be his second great secret besides the Creation Rubik’s Cube.


    For Lin Xiao, what came afterward was actually superfluous; he wasn’t even a Demigod yet, and Powerful Divine Power was beyond his reach. He didn’t know when he might ascend to Powerful Divine Power -those functionalities could take years to discover, and he could ignore them for now. Instead, the immediate functionalities of the object were extremely useful to him as they were.


    Even in its current unrepaired, initial state, this shell of a Crystal Wall System’s Origin Core came with a powerful effect –


    Town Barrier: Strengthen Divine Realm, improving the Divine Domain Space’s strength +1, energy concentration ₊i, stabilizing the Divine Territory, and allowing the fusion of an additional card per month..
