Chapter 627: [Wild Fangs] Legendary, Rare Item [The Devourer's Stomach]

The scene before him dissipated, and Yu Yuan once again found himself back in the Place of Divine Rest.

But his heart still couldn’t calm down.

He had seen a different Mortarian and, for the first time, the real Morphis.

Suddenly, he understood a little why Morphis, driven by Mortarian’s obsession, had birthed a twisted consciousness after the planet’s destruction.

And then created an organization like the Cult.

To be honest, after watching that memory fragment just now, Yu Yuan felt an urge to take over the Cult, expand it, strengthen it, and lead it to new glory.

He couldn’t help it!

The aftertaste was too strong!

As a result, Yu Yuan’s perception of Mortarian had undergone some subtle changes.

But quickly, Yu Yuan sensed the shift in his own emotions and immediately became alert.

“These memories don’t prove anything. As a big shot of biological civilization, the technique to tamper with or forge memories can’t be that hard for him...”

“Still, these memories do match the intel I’ve gathered before... they don’t seem fake...”

“Hmm—” Yu Yuan took a deep breath.

In the end, he reminded himself.

Even if all these memories were real, he couldn’t let his guard down or slack off in vigilance.

Especially when facing these big shots—it was better to be overly cautious than a single moment of carelessness.

As a result, Yu Yuan’s perception of Mortarian had undergone some peculiar changes.

The Frost Demon was probably dead. The Molten Demon was likely the one the Orthodox Church worshipped.

As for the other two of the four demons, Yu Yuan had seen them before in Wendigo’s memories.

Then there was that ‘Sister Red’ and Ade.

And the leader Sister Red mentioned—all of these were new identities awaiting confirmation.

From that brief conversation, Yu Yuan keenly sensed that Mortarian’s fall was no single event.

It was a chain reaction of a series of events.

These events frequently mentioned one place—the New World.

The term “New World” wasn’t the first time Yu Yuan had seen it.

The last time was when he obtained Ether from the Blood Clan.

Yu Yuan looked at the Virtual Light Screen.

—【Ether】

Quality: Hyperdimensional

Description: It is the most mysterious substance in this world and the foundation for reaching the pinnacle.

Function:

① Obtain qualification for advancement to Gold Rank (1/3)

② Gain permission to access the 【New World】.

————————

Additionally, the reward for achieving the 【Hyperdimensional Candidate】 achievement back then was also a ticket to the New World.

“The New World... What’s actually there?”

One thing Yu Yuan was absolutely certain of—the danger level of the New World was beyond imagination.

Entities above Gold Rank had fallen there one after another. This couldn’t be coincidence.

It could only mean that so-called New World could only be accessed and entered by those with strength above Gold.

Finally, there was the ‘Civilization’s Flame’ that Mortarian mentioned, hidden in the New World.

Yu Yuan had no idea what that was, but for Mortarian to be fixated on it at the brink of life and death...

It either had to do with his own survival or with the resurrection of Absinthe.

Only that made sense.

That explained why he hadn’t revealed this information to that so-called Sister Red and instead chose to send his successor to find it.

Or perhaps, he didn’t fully trust that Sister Red either.

Yu Yuan quickly organized his thoughts and the intel he had gathered.

He recorded these pieces of information and the inspirations sparked in his mind, one by one, on the Shelter Memo.

He had to admit, the sheer volume of information here was no joke.

Yu Yuan’s gaze shifted to the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

But just then, Zhi Zhi’s voice suddenly rang out.

“M... Master, could you please wait a bit before going to the next floor...”

At that moment, Yu Yuan could actually detect a hint of pitiful pleading in its tone.

Yu Yuan paused.

He immediately canceled the Fusion with Zhi Zhi.

What appeared before him was a big black ball with a belly so round it was stuffed.

Zhi Zhi itself was made of shadow, and at first glance, it looked like a black leather ball.

It was obviously stuffed again.

Luckily, it was an energy being, so there was no risk of exploding from overeating.

Yu Yuan found it both amusing and exasperating.

He had been too absorbed in watching just now and had completely forgotten about Zhi Zhi’s condition.

No wonder it had ended up like this—the explosion of Morphis was clearly a major event affecting the entire Civilization Star Track.

It might even be an epic-level secret event sealed away in history, likely carrying heavy weight in historical hidden information.

Not to mention that a Frost Demon, whose life level was above Gold, had fallen here.

For now, he had to wait for Zhi Zhi to digest the hidden information it had absorbed.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Yuan examined the equipment and items he had obtained earlier.

First was the fang pendant sent by Shadow Wolf.

【Wild Fang】

Quality: Legendary

Description: This is a tooth lost by the Wolf Clan Ancestor in battle long ago. With the help of a friend, the tooth grew back, and this fang was made into a keepsake.

Equipping Requirements: ① Possess Wolf Clan bloodline ② Recognized by the Wolf Clan Ancestor

Feature: It contains a sliver of the Wolf Clan Ancestor’s will. When equipped, the speed of purifying the Wolf Clan bloodline will continuously accelerate, with a chance to comprehend the bloodline power mastered by the Wolf Clan Ancestor.

Function:

① Increase Wolf Clan reputation to 【Respect】.

② The wearer can sense Wolf Clan kindred within a ten-kilometer radius, can issue a call request to these kindred, and can mobilize all Wolves to enter a 【Rage】 state (attack power increased, attack speed increased, pain perception weakened) until the battle ends.

③ Upon entering battle, the wearer borrows the scattered power of the Ancestor’s will to fight, with reaction speed, energy intensity, attack strength, and danger intuition fully enhanced, lasting 10 minutes, cooldown 12 hours.

④ When the wearer receives a fatal attack, a wolf howl is emitted, summoning the Ancestor’s will to descend, nullifying damage. All enemies are afflicted with 【Fear】 and 【Terror】 states, with duration depending on the enemy’s resistance.

“This is Old Dog’s tooth!”

Yu Yuan really hadn’t expected that.

But soon, a smile spread across his face.

This item was practically tailor-made for Hogg.

Next, Yu Yuan examined the items he had obtained from Artus.

That guy really was something.

The staff was a Legendary-tier item, a Necromancer-exclusive weapon.

Although the wizard’s robe was also an Epic★★★★★ piece of equipment, it was severely damaged, drastically reducing its value.

However, the remaining two items were quite interesting.

First was the black bone club Artus had used at the altar.

It turned out to be a Legendary-tier biological material—the bone club of a Decaying Plague Dragon.

It was filled with dense death aura and plague energy, capable of polluting and defiling holy energy.

It could also imbue death aura with plague power.

As for the last item, it brought Yu Yuan a pleasant surprise.

Because it was actually a Rare Artifact, specifically ranked No. 683—the Devourer’s Stomach.
