I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 600 - 437 "Heavenly Court Myth"!
Chapter 600 -437 “Heavenly Court Myth”!
Lu Yuan’s heart ached with pain, for the garbage they had laboriously collected over 155 years had been exchanged for just a single Grotto Heaven!
Profitable?
After calming down and thinking it over carefully, it actually seemed quite profitable.
Because technologies related to Spirit Word, the Green Grass Paradise of the Opium poppy tree, and the idealist knowledge related to Ghosts couldn’t be sold.
Ideal Technology has a very peculiar characteristic: you need the corresponding experimental materials to delve into research.
Since the other party doesn’t have Opium poppy trees, selling them the knowledge of Green Grass Paradise would be useless.
“So, the only things we can sell are the knowledge of the relics of Meida Civilization, Source Fire Civilization, and Nanyu Civilization.”
“Plus, they should be interested in the experiences and sights we’ve encountered along the way.”
Is the knowledge of these three civilizations valuable?
It’s passable; among them, the Source Fire Civilization is the most powerful, being a Third-level Civilization with some substance. The current Mecha Puppets used by humans originate from the Source Fire Civilization.
The Underground Alliance has been coveting them for a long time. Mechas are not only for warfare, but their functions are also numerous: medical, logistics, carrying supplies, and even resting and sleeping inside them; they also possess significant deterrence capabilities.
Compared to the human diplomatic teams, the People of the Underworld coming empty-handed is really unprofessional…
But on the other hand, these three civilizations… are too mediocre and only sell for a good price in the current era.
Many pieces of knowledge were directly given for free to his hometown, Yunhai City.
In three to five hundred years, they would barely have market value.
“So be it, let them take everything with them… all the common knowledge should be sold to them.”
“Is that still not enough?” mused Lu Yuan. “That Ancient Insect is quite concerned with face; it may not be satisfied with just intellectual property.”
He was somewhat embarrassed to say it, but the Ancient Insect didn’t seem very intelligent.
Regardless of how much knowledge you trade, it doesn’t understand it all.
“Then how about we sell them the Pandora Crystal Stones? They should also be constructing Sky City, right?”
“Right, why don’t we just help them build a small city? How does that sound?”
“Seems feasible, given that our construction team has some free capacity now… Building a small city wouldn’t take much effort.”
“If all else fails, we can trade back that item…” Lu Tiantian turned her head and glanced at that Legendary axe.
Okay, that axe is like a medical bill.
And now it might have to be given back, what a pitfall…
And so, after a brief discussion, a contract filled with sincerity was presented.
The People of the Underworld gasped in astonishment upon seeing it, their eyebrows dancing with joy, cheeks flushed with excitement.

Holy moly, nearly all the intellectual properties of three civilizations’ relics!
Three?! Including a Third-level Civilization and even the Mecha Puppets they had been longing for.
And… Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology?!
“Ah? Can it really be realized…”
Whether it can be implemented is one issue; having that knowledge is another matter!
And that offer to help construct a small city… It actually made for a pretty good bargaining chip.
Because they had no experience in designing such flying cities, and their cement and steel facilities were all located within the Grotto Heaven, impossible to move to the surface.
Therefore, it would be better to outsource everything to humans.
As for the traded small cave, they didn’t care much about it anymore.
Such a thing requires Civilization Points to devour, one is enough.
A second one… really can’t be sustained!
Thus, both parties reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. The negotiations on the scale of the flying city and the like might involve some haggling for a while, but this has greatly improved the relationship between the two sides, now hardly any different from allies.
The exchanges among various scientists, the inheritance among craftsmen, and various cooperation agreements all began to be negotiated swiftly…
And humans also prepared to stay here for a while longer.
At least until the next batch of mushrooms had grown to maturity and been harvested, before considering leaving, it wouldn’t be wise to abandon such an affluent place.
“New Myth, follow me. Bring the substance of your myth as well.”
Watching them reach a cooperation agreement, the Ancient Insect couldn’t be bothered to meddle anymore.
It wasn’t particularly good at these troublesome matters, beckoning Lu Yuan to enter the small cave.
“Senior, may I ask what guidance you have?”
Lu Yuan wasn’t timid, and carried the “Greedy Demon God” with him as he entered.
The exterior of this Grotto Heaven was a black walnut, with a large entrance allowing passage.
Inside, it resembled a cavern with irregular and uneven walls, pitch black and dusky.
The ground was filled with bizarre rocks, with a few natural mushrooms slowly growing.
The internal space of the Grotto Heaven was also quite spacious, covering an area of approximately 3.1 square kilometers, just enough to accommodate the Ancient Insect’s huge body.
It spit out a White Jade “Immortal Palace” that radiated light from its mouth.
On the walls of the palace, there were inscriptions of complex text.
“Junior, look at these walls; can you recognize the text within?”
“You need at least 30 points of Godhood to understand… You surely can’t be unable to read it, right?”
Lu Yuan’s pupils dilated suddenly; he… he actually saw numerous Innate Engravings!
These intricate characters, just like living tadpoles, kept wriggling, seemingly murmuring sounds that traveled from the void, buzzing in one’s head.
Only the creation of “Myth” gives birth to “Innate Engravings.”
They are equivalent to existence conjured from nothingness in an idealist world, the most primordial of beings.
And after these engravings were created, corresponding Ideal Rules emerged in the world, which successors could also utilize.
It’s akin to predecessors having struggled to forge a path, making it much easier for successors to follow—yet the successors often merely imitate without comprehending the true essence, after all, the difference between innate and acquired is just a single word, but the expertise gap is immeasurable.
Successors often don’t understand why they should follow such paths; they know the what but not the why.
Lu Yuan held his breath, his expression full of concentration, carefully discerning the text.
That mottled wall of white jade was inscribed with line after line of Innate Engravings, robust and majestic, loose and tight in just the right measure, free and easy.
There were a total of more than ten thousand Innate Engravings, vigorously penned, their forms lean and sinewy, as if alive.
He could recognize only about one-third of them.
The other two-thirds were beyond his understanding.
This was normal, as each individual’s created Myth has different functionalities, resulting in different Innate Engravings.
“Immortal Palace… Heavenly Court Myth!”
His heart trembled, as if he had glimpsed a huge secret from the Ancient Era, muttering to himself: “It is said that long, long ago, there was a great civilization that created the Heavenly Court Myth.”
“With the intention to rule the entire world!”
Heavenly Court!
Just the term itself is enough to inspire reverie.
“New Myth, have you recognized it? What do these characters say?” the Primordial Worm asked eagerly, even scratching at the ground with its claws.
Lu Yuan said excitedly, “I can understand only a small part of it, concerning the Heavenly Court Myth… It once shone gloriously, dazzling an entire Epoch.”
“The vast Pangu Continent, where the ends of the world seemed close at hand, the Heavenly Court controlled everything under heaven.”
“But as time passed and circumstances changed, the Myth shattered, the Creator disappeared, and the civilization fell into complete decline…”
“The Mythical level Immortal Palace, too, utterly collapsed.”
“This extravagantly luxurious piece of equipment, once sacrificed, created a Divine Skill called ‘Space Shuttle’ left behind in the world.”
“All beings in the world have an extremely small chance of awakening the corresponding Divine Skill.”
His heart raced, it was simply inconceivable: “The shattering of a Divine Artifact turning into the pitiable ability of Space Shuttle? This is… unimaginable… Has it weakened too much?”
That is to say, the “Instant Teleportation” ability he possessed was actually a remnant product of the Heavenly Court Myth shattering?
Compared to its original version, it is embarrassingly weak.
In the past, transfers over hundreds of millions of kilometers were low-cost, but now… within a mortal’s body, it’s just a teleportation of a hundred or two hundred meters.
Although the Greedy Demon God could teleport without limit, the consumption was too great, simply unsustainable.
Even using the precious “Luck” for a single transfer might extend it to a few hundred or few thousand kilometers, that would be the limit.
As for this small palace before his eyes, it was just a small part of the original Myth—an Immortal Level Extraordinary Item, indeed quite amazing, but compared to the original, it’s truly the difference between a glow-worm and the bright moon.
The Primordial Worm murmured: “Heavenly Court Myth… never heard of it, are you bamboozling me?”
“It’s too ancient, might be a story from a few generations ago.” Lu Yuan replied disapprovingly: “Which Epoch’s Myth are you?”
“I am the Primordial Worm, the Primordial Insect! Which Epoch? I’m not too good with numbers.” It tried to maintain its dignity, but in fact, it had forgotten.
Moreover, it should also forget what it had heard today.
Lu Yuan’s forehead veins throbbed: “What about those insects outside? Can you control them?”
The Primordial Worm indignantly stated: “Those are not of my faction!”
“I am the Primordial Worm, born from the spirit of the Ancient Giant Demon, a natural Myth.”
“Those outside are mere Anomalies naturally birthed from a corpse!”
“Are they Myths? Not at all! Don’t lump me together with them.”
Lu Yuan understood that the Primordial Worm was born from the spirit of a Demon, hence was relatively intelligent with a higher Racial Value, seemingly the only one in the world.
Whereas those outside, born from the physical remnants of a dead Demon, were numerous. Any Demon’s corpse could potentially give birth to Insects.
Although they were all insects, the differences between them were significant.
As for the Greedy Demon God, compared to the ancient Myths, Lu Yuan suddenly lost confidence in its strength.
The creation concept of the “Heavenly Court Myth” was extraordinary.
As a Master Craftsman, Lu Yuan deeply knew what “concept and vision” would bring to a work…
However, compared to this insect, he felt that his “Greedy Demon God” could probably win easily.
There are indeed strengths and weaknesses amongst Myths.
