"What are you doing!" Lin Yun was so scared that he almost dropped the gem. After grabbing it with great difficulty, he scolded with a dark expression, "You are a True Spirit Magic Tool, why are you making a fuss over nothing!"
"Throw that thing in your hand away!"
"Are you kidding me? That magic gem is worth at least a few million golds, yet you want to throw it away? Are you going to give me a few million golds?"
"I'm not joking, that thing in your hand, it … It's not a magic gem, it will only bring you disaster …"
"Oh?" Lin Yun laughed when he heard this. "Lord Shawn, it sounds like you know some inside information?"
"No!" It was originally just a probing sentence, but Shawn acted as if someone had seen through his guilty conscience and couldn't wait to deny it. But after denying it, as if he was afraid that Lin Yun wouldn't believe him, he stammered, "No … No inside information … In short, listen to me, throw that thing away, that thing will only bring you disaster."
"Forget it if you don't want to say it." Lin Yun understood when he heard this. Shawn definitely knew some inside information, but he just didn't want to tell him. "But, Lord Shawn, you should understand me. You should know that the Doom Staff in my hand is like a bottomless pit, it can easily suck in a few dozen spirit mana crystals. And you, Elder, you aren't easy to deal with. Have you finished digesting that spirit mana crystal?"
"There … There is still one more …" Shawn's voice was somewhat lacking in confidence. That spirit mana crystal had indeed been completely digested, and he had been thinking about how to get another one from Lin Yun in the past few days.
"A bit …" Lin Yun smiled and shook his head before pointing at Xiuban's neck. "And this glutton, you should know that Draconic Beastmen's casting abilities are completely made up of mana crystals …"
"But …"
"There are millions of golds here, and I'm already red, yet you want me to throw it away without any reason. How can I throw it away?"
"This thing will only bring you disaster …" In the end, Lord Shaun still said the same thing over and over again. He refused to say what kind of disaster it was.
At this time, Lin Yun couldn't do anything about it. He could only helplessly ask, "Alright, let's not talk about disaster for now. You said that it isn't a magic gem, so tell me what it is."
"This is a soul fragment …" After saying this, Lord Shaun was silent for a long time. Then, as if mustering up his courage, he said, "A soul fragment of an Ancient God …"
"Ascian Dynasty …" Lin Yun sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard Shaun's words.
In Noscent's ancient legends, the story of the Ancient Gods establishing the Ascian Dynasty had been passed down. That was a true golden era. The Ancient Gods walked the earth, and they had great abilities and boundless power. They could tear the sky with a raise of their hands and crush the earth with a raise of their feet. Under the rule of the Ancient Gods, all the major races lived in peace, and all of Noscent was filled with a flourishing aura.
But this golden age was ended by a disaster ….
Now, no one knew what kind of disaster it was. People could only find some vague records from the most ancient records. The Ancient Gods fought against the disaster and saved Noscent, but at the same time, they paid an incomparably heavy price. The surviving Ancient Gods forever left this land and exiled themselves in the cracks of time and space.
That period was known as the Golden Era, or the Mythical Era.
After the Golden Era was the Silver Era, where the Elves and Dragons jointly ruled the earth. Up until a few dozen millennia later, when Charles the Emperor shattered the Throne of Life and all the myths came to an end. Noscent entered an era ruled by mortals, and that was the Bronze Era.
As time passed, dynasties replaced each other. Now, even the 3rd Dynasty established by Charles the Emperor had already disappeared in the river of time. In contrast, the even more distant Ascian Dynasty could only be found in epics and myths.
In fact, even at the peak of the magic civilization, those powerful mages would often argue about the existence of the Ascian Dynasty.
Lin Yun hadn't expected to find an Ancient God's soul fragment under an ancient tree in the Four Seasons Canyon.
"Haha, Lord Shawn, this joke is very funny …" The first thought that appeared in Lin Yun's mind was that Lord Shawn was making up a story, just like in Prince Barov's tomb, pretending to be a Desolate Overlord to scare him. It was definitely the same this time. He wanted to make him throw away this gem, but he didn't know what excuse to use, so he made up some Ancient God's soul fragment.
But no matter how much Lin Yun found an excuse to boost his courage, his laughter couldn't help shaking.
"Don't tell me you don't know whether it's a joke or not? There is a master-slave contract between us." Lord Shawn sneered.
"No way …" Lin Yun suddenly felt that the gem in his hand was a bit hot.
"Hmph, do you know the seriousness of this matter now?" After Shawn coldly snorted, he started lecturing Lin Yun. "This is a soul fragment of an Ancient God. You've heard of Ancient Gods, right? Their divine abilities are boundless, and they can destroy the world with a wave of their hand. Even a breath from them can kill a hundred 9th Rank Great Mages like you. You're quite bold to play around with an Ancient God's soul fragment. Who do you think you are? If this soul fragment's power were to be released, even ten of you wouldn't be enough to kill you!"
"I say, Lord Shawn, how do you know this?" Lin Yun stared at the soul fragment in his hand for a long time before looking at Shawn suspiciously.
"Because there is a lunatic just like you, playing around with an Ancient God's soul fragment. But that lunatic is much stronger than you …"
"You mean Prince Barov?"
"Yes, that lunatic."
"You're saying that the two soul fragments in my and Prince Barov's hands were left behind by the same Ancient God?"
"Don't ask anymore!" Shawn's voice was filled with unconcealable fear. "Don't ask anymore, everything related to the Ancient Gods is taboo. Asking about this will only bring you disaster!"
"Yes." This time, Lin Yun nodded, agreeing with Shawn's point of view for once. That question was indeed very dangerous. According to the legends, everything related to the Ancient Gods was taboo. Even the fall of the 3rd Dynasty seemed to be related to this.
"Okay, okay, I've said what I need to say. Quickly throw this thing away …" Seeing Lin Yun nod, Shawn finally sighed in relief.
"No …" Who knew that Lin Yun would shake his head at this time and say something that almost made Shawn go crazy on the spot. "Since this is a soul fragment of an Ancient God, I can't throw it away …"
"You're crazy!"
"Don't worry, I have a way."
After saying that, Lin Yun once again opened the Book of Death and spat out the seven characters he had already engraved in his mind. In a flash, the surrounding space distorted and a Planar Path appeared out of nowhere.
"I can put it in a safer place." As Lin Yun said that, he stepped on the Planar Path and the surrounding space distorted once again. By the time everything calmed down, Lin Yun was already standing on the land of the Demiplane.
After two months, he once again returned to this Demiplane, and nothing seemed to have changed. It was quiet and desolate, looking just like Noscent on the verge of destruction. But Lin Yun knew that there was a huge difference between the two. Noscent was on the verge of destruction because its life had reached its end, while this Demiplane had just been born.
It was precisely because it had just been born that everything was still in its most primitive state.
However, this most primitive state could be changed, provided that one had sufficient resources and power in their hands. Just like the Astrologer Agalon, he redefined the earth, water, fire, and wind, opened up a world, evolved life, and turned the silent and desolate Secondary Plane into an independent world.
Naturally, this would be an extremely long path.
Just rearranging the four elements would be something that could only be done after the Archmage realm. As for establishing a world to evolve life, he might be able to try it after reaching the Heaven Rank.
But there was no rush.
Even if he immediately transformed the Demiplane into an independent world, he wouldn't be able to display the power of that independent world. That was a power that could only be grasped after reaching the Heaven Rank.
Before that, it would be better to treat this Demiplane as a warehouse.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun put down the Ancient God's soul fragment and once again walked on the Planar Path. After a spatial distortion, Lin Yun once again returned to the forest.
"Hell, you'll regret it. I'm telling you, you'll regret it sooner or later …" After leaving the Demiplane, Shawn was still chattering on.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll regret it …" Lin Yun shook his head and directly ignored Shawn's complaints.
In fact, Lin Yun also knew that the safest way to deal with this Ancient God's soul fragment was to put it back in the cave and act as if he had never been there.
The problem was that Lin Yun was reluctant.
