My tamed beasts are truly not evil gods.

Chapter 424: Harvest in Progress! The Dragon of Reincarnation Transforms! A New Seed of Law!

Chapter 424: Harvest in Progress! The Dragon of Reincarnation Transforms! A New Seed of Law!

"Xiu Ren, do you think I can truly ascend to the heavens above the stars in my lifetime?"

The pitch-black night sky seemed to be covered by an invisible hand, crushing the Milky Way and scattering it across it.

Lu Yu found an excuse to come to the wilderness to relax, because it was located on the inner border and the safety factor was much higher.

The starlight sprinkled onto the round face of the mouse riding the soul cloud. The glittering starry sky was reflected in its big black eyes, but it was slightly dim. Its expression was lost and confused about the future.

Its weak, pitiful, and helpless appearance makes you want to pat its head!

"Eek!"

Seeing the mouse's dejected look, the little spider felt a pang of sympathy and was about to ask what had happened when it heard its owner say calmly:

"Above the stars... I'm not sure when we'll get there, but your bank collapse and ending up hanging from a streetlight will probably come much sooner!"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the mouse's expression stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure and feigned confusion, saying, "Master, I don't understand what you're saying?"

"Oh, really?" Lu Yu said with a half-smile, "I was actually thinking of increasing your weekly potato chip allowance..."

"Father, your wisdom is truly remarkable; please accept my bow!"

Upon hearing this, the mouse immediately knelt down and approached Xiuren with a fawning expression, stretching out its little paws to massage his back.

"Eek."

The little spider smiled indulgently, as long as the mouse was alright.

"roar!"

Egg couldn't help but slap Red Hare next to it, waking it up from its low-battery standby mode.

The dragon and the qilin looked at each other, then smiled knowingly.

The Paper Knight didn't get involved in these matters. He simply held his Bible of salvation, slowly studying his master's sacred words, and felt utterly at peace under the moonlight.

It secretly resolved that it could not always resort to violence; it needed to learn more principles and use knowledge to influence its enemies, allowing them to find redemption...

"Oh, little hamster!"

Lu Yu smiled dismissively. Who gave the rat the courage to dare to put on such an acting show in front of him, the movie star? Although he knew the reason, he also had new questions:

"Didn't I just increase your credit limit a while ago?"

Even though they are always blessed by the god of poverty, Lu Yu will increase their allowance based on their progress in strength.

Although it may not seem like much, this amount can be used to offset high-level resources within the team, with refunds for overpayments and additional payments for underpayments, and advance payments are supported.

The highest amount naturally went to Little Spider, who was the eldest sister, but apart from buying thirty watermelons every month, all the rest of the money was entrusted to him for safekeeping.

It's said to be stored for the owner, so he can use it whenever he wants!

If the void weren't unsuitable for growing watermelons, she probably wouldn't even be willing to spend this little bit of money. She truly is a perfect little angel.

The Paper Knight has very low material needs; he relies entirely on origami and the labor of his family in the Paper Kingdom for all his necessities, so he doesn't need them.

As for Red Hare, it was even more impressive. It frequently used the Silver Net to connect to the Alliance Network and sell some discarded mechanical weapon modules from its subordinates.

Even without the infinite energy of the molten oil, its near-perfect mechanical structure is nothing short of a game-changer for the low-to-mid-range market, allowing many ordinary mechanical pets to unleash combat power far exceeding that of their counterparts.

It's even more powerful than the non-sale models of the eight major factions, and most importantly, it's sturdy and durable. The only downside is that it consumes more energy.

But is that its problem?

It's clearly because I'm not rich enough. In this world, strength is king.

Because of its excellent cost-performance ratio, Chitu has also gained another nickname on some mechanics forums—Chishen (Red God).

However, for now, they're only rampaging through the Morning Star tier module market, not because they don't know how to craft Moonlight tier modules...

But where in the family would they find the spare money?

However, Chitu's account still receives several million every month, most of which is used to buy mechanical materials for himself, aiming for self-sufficiency.

At this point, Lu Yu had to specifically criticize Egg and Mouse, because they had consumed a large amount of soul resources, and even after receiving their advance payment for a hundred years, they were still in arrears.

Egg is full of cunning and shrewdness. When something happens, it pretends to be stupid or pushes Mouse to take the blame. It's very scheming.

While the mice are lazy and love to eat, they really need this amount of credit. If you don't feed the mouse clones with potato chips, they might be dragged away and hung on streetlights, hindering their skill progression.

So Lu Yu has always been very generous with his allowance, distributing it proportionally, enough to pay his monthly salary, and even keeping some for himself as snacks.

What has happened during this time?

"This...that..."

The little mouse hesitated for a long time, initially too embarrassed to speak, but seeing that Xiu was about to leave, it quickly grabbed his clothes and whispered:

"I didn't want this either, but the Rat Empire is now at a critical juncture, wait, because... because there's already inflation!"

"Huh?" Lu Yu looked puzzled.

Aren't all of the rat's clones just itself? You're just inflating your own ego.

Moreover, they operate on a barter system, with each mission involving a clear exchange of money and goods, allowing for a simple internal cycle.

How can there be inflation without intervention from other economies?

Is this "slutty hamster" just a random term you learn and start using?

However, Lu Yu quickly figured out the whole story.

It turns out that the rats had secretly created a group of capitalist rat clones and infiltrated the worker rat camp.

Because the clone and the main body are connected, in order not to expose them, it has erased all relevant information, leaving only the secret code for communication, which leads to...

It can't even tell which ones are the moles anymore.

"As expected of you!" Lu Yu complained. But even if all the capital rats are wiped out, we can still learn from the past and use more new rat clones to serve as slaves for a period of time to solve the economic problem, right?

"The main problem is that as their skill proficiency improves, these guys become more and more cunning... no, lazy. They used to be able to last a week, but now the new ones are too smart and can only last two or three days. They are quickly won over by the evil worker rats, which makes their power grow stronger and stronger."

The mouse said, with a mix of pride and grievance:

"Moreover, recently, it's unclear which rat clone established a rat clone foundation to protect the rights and interests of the rat clones."

"Does this overlap with the functions of Rat Bank? What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Yu knew without even thinking that it was most likely the work of Capital Rat.

"Yes, but they've launched a new investment program where you can deposit ten bags of potato chips and receive twelve bags a week later."

I initially thought it was just a Ponzi scheme, but they actually found a lot of external potato chip distribution channels and successfully cashed out multiple times, attracting more and more rat clones to voluntarily join them. They even said that everyone is one, so how could they possibly run away?

This means that I have to go through the Little Mouse Foundation to take a cut before I can assign tasks, but the price per task has increased, and the labor cost per mouse has increased significantly.

But my credit limit hasn't changed, the money in the bank is depreciating, the debts I owe are accruing interest, and potato chips are worthless. What is this if not inflation?!

Got it! Small countries with fragile economic sovereignty are facing the impact of off-exchange money printing on their domestic markets!

At this point, the mouse gritted its teeth. If it knew where these mouse clones of potato chips came from, it would definitely smash them.

The resentful mouse, unaware of the testicles on its back, secretly glanced at Red Hare through Hundred Eyes, and then discovered...

The other person seemed even more guilty than he was.

Ok?

understood!

Egg was delighted. It turned out that he wasn't the only mysterious fund outside the market; these capitalists were really something else.

They're all villains; everyone wants to see the mouse explode with rage!

"Xiu Ren, you have to help Shu Shu! Do you really want your adorable Shu Shu to be hung on a lamppost by those thugs?"

"Mouse said pitifully, her eyes sparkling with countless stars that fell upon Lu Yu."

This is a special effect that it created manually.

"This is a difficult matter..." Lu Yu stroked his chin. Although he also wanted to be a fun person, the rat's bombshell was indeed not a good thing.

Giving money directly, even if the amount is small, can easily break the rules.

But faced with the rat's tantrum, Lu Yu softened and asked, "Then what do you want to do? After all, you've already received your salary for the next hundred years in advance."

"Give me an interest-free... cough cough, low-interest loan, plus my Rat Bank inventory, and before the potato chips depreciate, I'll pay off the previous debts and then sit back and wait for his skyscraper to collapse." The rat's eyes darted around, sparkling with wisdom.

Since potato chips are worthless, let's discard them first and then introduce a new currency for conversion.

Lu Yu readily agreed and approved a potato chip allowance of 200,000 yuan for the mouse, but couldn't help but complain:

"You're so Jewish!"

"These are the corpses that must be crossed on the road to becoming a king. Just wait, I will let my rat clones experience what economic sanctions are all about!" The rat snorted coldly, its paws behind its back, ready to show the cultivator what it means to turn the world upside down and make things happen.

Then... Lu Yu saw that after collecting all the debts, the other side actually introduced a policy that these potato chips would be used for a retirement project, and the rat clones that paid for a hundred years could enjoy lifelong retirement.

Furthermore, the added mouse clones must use potato chips as legal tender, indicating that this is to protect the rights of each mouse and control the value of potato chips.

By distributing money, he quickly won over all the rat clones.

However, there is some bad news: the commission for assigning tasks will increase, but this money will not be paid by the task provider; instead, a service fee will be added when accepting tasks.

In other words, the entire burden will be borne by the mouse itself!

This series of combined attacks completely stunned the rats. Not only did they not gain any benefits, they also saddled themselves with a mountain of debt. In fact, it made their clones more united, and they spent even more money. The interest on their overdue payments would also increase in the future.

In short, it bankrupted the mouse!

"What a vicious business war!"

The mouse was very upset and looked at Xiu Ren, whereupon it received comfort:

"Practice makes perfect!"

The mouse froze instantly, lowering its head as if in utter despair. Lu Yu shook his head and turned to leave.

But he didn't notice that the mouse revealed a cunning look the moment he turned around.

Just kidding, it had already been secretly communicating with the capital rats and knew that during this period, the rat clones seemed to be preparing to do something big related to human cultivation, but they couldn't find any information.

Even the capitalists claim they don't know.

Therefore, the rats themselves felt a sense of crisis and chose to short-sell pension projects together, crushing the worker rats and leaving them heavily indebted, so that they could enslave them together with the capital rats. But... which ones are actually the capital rats?

The mouse was a little confused, but it quickly put it out of its mind. It probably wasn't an important matter, so it was better to think about the future.

Then we'll kick aside the capitalist rats and establish the first empire of rat will!

In fact, Lu Yu sensed that there might be a problem here, but since the rat clone would betray the rat but not him, he didn't bother to care.

Meanwhile, the little spider had already sorted out the spoils of its trip to the Sun Ruins, and the Chaos Egg in the ranch had successfully digested the divinity, spitting out a large number of orbs of light that caused the ranch to tremble.

The first one, naturally, was the spot sold on the Dark Sun Watcher. After the sale ended, the money was deposited into the account, and the Dark Witch paid with precious metals of equal value.

With the added reward paid by Luo Qingyue, the Lu family raked in nearly 600 million yuan, making them rich again!

The second is the Seat of the Fool. Although it's inconvenient for it to appear in the Sun Ruins, it has secretly collected quite a few souls, greatly increasing the power of its mind-degrading aura.

Lu Yu even felt that once the Great War of Ten Thousand Races began, he could sit on it for a long time!

The moment you meet them, your IQ drops.

The third is the five legendary traits left behind after killing Qingyuan, the two guards, and the two Divine Finger.

The attributes are respectively [Jade Pool Azure Feather] representing destruction, [Night Howler's Touch] representing darkness, [Painful Face Mask] representing suffering, [Lightning Heart] representing electricity, and [Deep Sea Wing Membrane] representing water.

The ninth and fourth fingers, due to their high degree of distortion, are estimated to be indistinguishable from the legendary characteristics and are themselves the source material.

However, only the first three can meet Lu Yu's requirements for a pet beast, and they all come from the top-level rules.

It's important to understand that rules have varying degrees of strength. Time is the supreme rule, transcending all things, and even the gods cannot escape it.

Below that are the top-level, advanced, intermediate, and basic rules.

Legendary traits, some originate from the ecology of secret realms and the nurturing of world rules, while others are products created by certain gods or ancient beings, but all possess the manifestation of rules.

Among them, Void and Destruction are top-level rules. They rarely give birth to legendary qualities, so after their birth, they will be superior to some ordinary rules.

However, the actual power it demonstrates depends on the core rules that are incorporated into the corresponding path.

However, this does not mean that elemental items are of low quality; it simply means that with a large base of production, defective products are more likely to appear.

For example, there is fire that burns corpses, and there is fire that burns the heavens and destroys time. The power of the latter is unmatched even by the legendary qualities born from ordinary top-level rules.

Ordinary legendary traits of light elements can increase speed by several times, while top-tier radiance such as the Golden Light of Battle can accelerate speed by ten times.

If I had to describe it, the former (top-tier rules) takes a premium approach, while the latter (regular rules) takes a high-volume, satisfying approach, but there are also quite a few high-quality products.

Moreover, even after incorporating legendary traits, one only masters a portion of the rules; the actual power depends on the user.

The only difference is the time. As long as a legendary quality is born, it is of the highest level, and even branches start with top quality.

"I used to have a headache about blending light and darkness, but now it's much easier."

Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction. As for the paper attribute... it could be completely controlled by suppressing pollution in the ranch and merging the pages of the original magic book to create the legendary qualities that perfectly match the Paper Knight.

However, the prerequisite is that Lu Yu must first be promoted!

"What are the legendary qualities of truth...?" Lu Yu murmured softly, seemingly asking a question, but he already had a vague answer in his heart.

As for the [Bitter Face Tool], besides giving it to the rat, you can also give it to Jiang Ji.

However, the Thorn Church is a large and powerful organization, and it must have a stockpile of legendary traits with the attributes of thorns and pain. Moreover, in Lu Yu's opinion, if possible, she should accommodate the [Eye of the Evil King].

This is the residual spiritual essence of a demigod!

The Jade Pool Azure Feather, symbolizing destruction, is suitable for the Three Calamities Peacock, and since they are both birds, it is also appropriate to accommodate them.

As the embodiment of a rat, it is an independent individual that can continuously grow stronger, and even the kings cannot see the problem.

The legendary traits of the other two attributes are not useful, but they can be traded at high-end trade fairs.

Elemental attributes are the most popular; you won't have trouble finding sellers!

The fourth gain is the daily transformation.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu glanced at the Sun Chaser deep in the ranch. As the lie of the "Sun-Eating Heavenly Dog" took shape, its appearance became more and more domineering and majestic, surrounded by countless ashes, like a beast of the apocalypse.

Their strength has stabilized at the pseudo-giant level!

Whoohoo!

With each breath, a great deal of light is exhaled, and from that light and shadow, a large number of hounds of light emerge, fiercely watching the divine beasts in the pasture, taking over the daily monitoring of whether these creatures are slacking off.

This scene plunged the black goats and other precious animals in the pasture into utter despair.

There are more and more dogs!

In addition, in this battle, Zhu Ri successfully mastered the natural counter effect of the sun's path and the power to turn the sun's divinity into ashes.

Meanwhile, the Sun-Eating Royal Court, having devoured part of the evil god's embryo and blood, had fully absorbed the nutrients needed for its gestation.

The current Royal Court of the Sun Eaters, compared to its initial illusory form, has become magnificent and spectacular, with an architectural style resembling a combination of the end and ashes, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

And in the center of the Sun-Eating King's Court, a black and red orb of light appeared, bound by countless chains of ash, resembling the sun, yet also some kind of eerie entity.

It caused the entire royal court to become uncertain in its light and shadow!

According to Zhu Ri, it seems to be related to the "Sun God" and it will probably take about a week to gestate.

"The Sun God? Could it be that by consuming divine blood, Zhu Ri has stolen the authority over the Sun's path?"

Lu Yu stroked his chin, his eyes filled with curiosity. But it would only be a few days before he knew the answer.

The fifth gain was the secondary core condensed from the Ash Skyship, as compensation for his use of Lu Yu to leave protective measures for the Tianzhou civilization.

Before the ashes inside are used up, it can block the vision of a True King-level being, but this is only a basic function. What is truly valuable is the inheritance of how to forge and strengthen the living Holy City.

Even just a glimpse of it allowed Lu Yu to experience the extraordinary forging techniques of the Tianzhou civilization.

It can turn the rotten into the miraculous!

If given to the Mechanical King Domain, the Alliance, or a top-tier power, this could serve as the basis for building a low-end holy city.

As for a 1:1 replica, it's almost impossible!

After all, the gift of the sun is an unavoidable hurdle!

"But I already have one!" Lu Yu smiled brightly, looking at Egg beside him.

Forged from fragments of Tianzhou City and later transformed through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the World-Devouring Hundred-Eyed Dragon is born with the burden of reincarnation and holds the power over life and death.

In some ways, its potential is far more terrifying than that of Tianzhou City!

"Roar!" Egg had already smelled the aroma and came running over happily, letting Lu Yu press the secondary core onto its head.

hum!

The moment they made contact, the Heart of Ash burst forth with light, a dazzling radiance emerging from it, gradually merging into Egg's dragon body.

boom!

"roar!"

Egg roared to the sky. Its body, which had been shrunk by the [Compression] skill, instantly expanded to a massive 300 meters in size and continued to grow. A pair of new wings even sprouted from its back.

Fortunately, the mouse had activated the dark curtain in advance to cover the scene, so it did not cause a commotion.

Although the appearance of the egg has not changed much, with the help of these radiant lights, subtle adjustments have begun to be made to the overall coordination, the overall skeletal structure, and so on. These seemingly small changes have allowed its potential to reach a new level.

It's the difference between a master and an apprentice.

But the whole process was more like a father teaching his son.

The remnant will of the Heavenly King is using his experience to help Egg become a perfect weapon for killing gods!

Compared to Lu Yu, that imposter, Egg is the true descendant of the Heavenly King!

boom!

From Lu Yu's perspective, the [City of Reincarnation], which had always belonged to the hungry Gold-Eating Beast, had now taken shape and become a huge, mysterious city where life and death intertwined.

However, it was soon swallowed up by the thick mist surrounding it, turning into a mysterious mist mirror that reflected behind the Egg Dragon's body, from which countless misty touches seemed to be taking it away from the mortal world.

As skills advance,

The Samsara Qi that originally allowed Lu Yu to "not die for a second" has changed from one wisp to two wisps, and the cooldown time, which was originally twelve hours, has been reduced to one wisp per hour.

Although it can only be condensed after it is used up and cannot be stacked, Lu Yu never thinks he has too many life-saving measures!

In addition, Egg's eyes also inherited abilities similar to the Eye of Radiance, and derived the [Eye of Reincarnation], which can instantly unleash thousands of beams of light.

After being struck by the radiance of reincarnation, one's vitality will burn off rapidly, leading to a state of aging and a significant reduction in lifespan.

Combined with Lu Yu's Staff of the Dust Walker, the killer of the elderly has received a version buff.

The limit of transformation before the City of Reincarnation was only the Kingdom of Reincarnation.

But now, with the improvement of the Holy City's infrastructure, the thick fog has begun to transform, like...

World barriers!

"Could there still be a chance to transform into the Cycle of Reincarnation?"

Lu Yu was overjoyed, having already understood the ultimate goal of the Living Holy City that the Tianzhou Civilization was pursuing.

To become a weapon for killing gods, one must never possess the power to pierce through a god's body, nor the strength to provide an indestructible defense.

After all, none of these can kill them!

A great being, occupying the source of rules, illuminating all realms!

Therefore, it is necessary to devour the ecological kingdom where the deity resides and seize its authority in order to strangle it at the source.

If they really succeed, then the other party has no right to be buried in the old days!

"What a madman's idea! No wonder Egg Egg has had an insatiable hunger since birth. After all, how could any mortal possibly satisfy its thirst for devouring divinity and the world?"

Lu Yu sighed, looking at Egg, who had returned, and then at the biggest gain of this time.

The divine hand severed from the Mother of Twilight, the divine realm, and the progenitor-level Twilight Worm.

It touches upon the fundamental power of a great being!

The Hand of God, having been digested by the Chaos Egg, had its original cracks, born from the Moon of Procreation, completely repaired during this great harvest, becoming even larger and spitting out five dark golden orbs of light.

Neither in number nor in size could they be compared to those of the previous herding leaders.

It was an unprecedented bumper harvest.

Even Lu Yu's breathing became heavier at this moment.

He reached out and tapped the first dark golden orb of light.

hum!

As the light faded, what appeared before Lu Yu's eyes caused his pupils to shrink abruptly—it was...

Three blank law seeds!
