Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Whether it could compare in value to a Red Mythical ability ball, Shen Hao wasn't sure, but at the very least, it should be worthy of being one of the rewards.

Shen Hao then looked at the second piece of equipment.

As expected, it was also capped at level fifty.

[Name: Refining Spirit Pot]

[Quality: Red Myth]

[Level: 22 (50)]

[An innate treasure from some powerful world that can refine all things between heaven and earth into innate primordial spirit power and can also turn waste into treasure.]

The description of this piece of equipment was just as ordinary, yet those simple words still made Shen Hao's eyes light up.

Just the four words "turn waste into treasure" could already explain a lot.

Shen Hao didn't hesitate and immediately tried it out.

Among the level twenty-six goods were many things, not only various items but also a variety of creatures without memories, and even existences like "Ghost Emissaries". Now that he had tried them all, Shen Hao was certain of the effect of this Mythical-grade equipment.

As expected, indeed, it could refine everything, turning waste into treasure!

Even undead creatures full of yin energy could be refined into pure primordial spirit power, which was very useful for increasing cultivation, enhancing talent, healing injuries, casting spells...

It could be called omnipotent!

The higher the quality of the refined object, the higher the quality of the primordial spirit power obtained.

It was still a pity, of course; if he had gotten this item during the last trial, just think of the primordial spirit power that could've been provided by the vast number of undead creatures!

Even if it was only applicable to the cultivation system, it could still cultivate a great number of warriors.

The growth of the Extraordinary Path was about talent and resources!

"Mythical strength, I've truly experienced that now," Shen Hao stowed away the two Mythical-grade equipment pieces.

The Heaven Refining Pot naturally was for his own use, while the Five Elements Spirit Pearl could be used to train other cultivators.

This object wasn't of much use to Shen Hao himself.

After all, Shen Hao wasn't exactly a conventional cultivator.

"It can be used to create a Five Elements cultivation holy land, selecting cultivators with similar talents," Shen Hao already had an idea in his mind.

He then looked at the other rewards.

Aside from the Chosen One's talent promotion reward, it seemed that only Mythical-grade treasure chests were left.

Five Mythical-grade treasure chests, not actual objects but virtual ones, just like a lottery draw.

But as long as the treasures given are genuine, that's fine.

Shen Hao directly opened the first one.

A treasure emitting red light appeared.

[Name: Heaven Breaking Hammer]

[Quality: Red Myth]

[Level: 23]

[The personal magic treasure of a certain immortal, possessing the power to tear through the void and easily break through most defenses.]

"A level twenty-three Mythical-grade piece of equipment," Shen Hao noticed at a glance the huge difference between this piece of equipment and the two Mythical-grade pieces he had obtained before.

Even though the current levels of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl and the Refining Spirit Pot were only twenty-two, their power was still incomparable to this level twenty-three Red Mythical-grade equipment.

Clearly, even with the same grade of Mythical equipment, the potential and the level bring about huge differences.

Of course, this isn't to say that the Heaven Breaking Hammer isn't impressive; just the boost to attributes alone is very strong. Even a Second Stage Chosen One possessing it would truly have the capital to threaten a Third Stage Transcendent.

A level twenty-three Mythical-grade piece of equipment has the foundation to fight across levels, truly living up to the Mythical name.

It's a pity that the main attribute it enhances is constitution.

For Shen Hao, that's not very useful. His constitution is also high, but having this piece of equipment won't make a decisive difference if he truly needs to engage in close combat.

Moreover, with five and a half years of rest time, Shen Hao was confident enough to break through to the high levels of the Third Stage.

For him, this piece of equipment offered limited potential.

"I'll put it in the warehouse; high contribution points can be obtained," Shen Hao put the equipment aside casually.

Then, he opened the remaining four treasure chests all at once.

Suddenly, four Mythical-grade items appeared in front of him.

Shen Hao looked at them one by one, his expression turning solemn when he saw a particular one.

[Name: Five Elements Ascension Method]

[Quality: Red Myth]

[Level: 26]

[Originating from a powerful cultivation world, created by an immortal, it is an excellent Foundation Establishment Technique that can be applied to most talents. It can evolve according to the focused talent and lay the foundation for ascension.]

[Note 1: Only a very few rare talents are not applicable]

[Note 2: Current version, only up to Golden Core Late Stage]

[Note 3: Can switch to other cultivation techniques without loss]

"A Red Mythical-level Foundation Building Technique?" Shen Hao saw the contents clearly, and surprise surged within his gaze.

He had originally thought that even if these items were Mythical-grade, their levels weren't high, and so they wouldn't be all that impressive.

But just this one item alone makes choosing this reward worthwhile!

In Shen Hao's view, the importance of this cultivation technique was even greater than so-called Mythical-level buildings or followers!

This is the very foundation of the path of cultivation!

"Suitable for the vast majority of Mythical-level foundation building techniques, and it can be converted without damage," Shen Hao quickly flipped through the technique.

It must be said, even with just a cursory glance, one could see its profoundness.

The cycle of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other is endless. Both cultivation speed and the foundational depth of building the foundation are clearly a cut above the current techniques.

After all, right now there is not even a Golden Legendary-level foundation building technique available, let alone a Mythical one!

Moreover, Shen Hao saw at a glance that this technique was the perfect match for the Five Elements Spirit Pearl he had obtained earlier.

Luck like this was rare.

Combining the two Mythical-level foundations, Shen Hao was already looking forward to what kind of genius he could nurture!

Shen Hao carefully put away the technique book, then turned his attention to the remaining three Mythical-level items.

Actually, with this technique alone, even if the remaining three items were average, this unboxing would be a huge gain; but these three items weren't that bad either.

One of the items was a level 24 Mythical equipment, the "Demon King's Crown". Once worn, it would allow the bearer to wield the power of the Demon King and have the strength of a twenty-fourth level.

This equipment was equivalent to gaining a Third-Stage powerhouse and it seemed far from ordinary - it wasn't just a typical twenty-fourth level.

The specific abilities still needed to be tested.

But, it was still of no use to Shen Hao.

Into the warehouse it went, to slowly find a suitable user.

Next, there was a level 22 technological Mythical technology called[Leap Transition Instant Communication].

This technology could also bring significant help.

Especially in the interstellar era.

Previous interstellar communications always had a certain delay unless Shen Hao used his abilities to communicate directly. Otherwise, the communication delay could reach up to three and a half minutes at its worst.

It seemed nominal now but with further distances, it would undoubtedly cause some impact.

This technology was worthy of the Mythical level. It could even extend human civilization's network directly to affiliated civilizations.

As for the last item, it made Shen Hao's eyes light up, as it was a biological entity, a special extraordinary creature known as the "Phoenix Chicken".

Lacking intelligence and containing a strand of Phoenix bloodline, although impure, it was not as difficult to breed as true Phoenixes, but could instead be bred on a large scale!

Its flesh, feathers, and even the eggs it laid were supreme resources possessing certain Phoenix attributes!

That's right, this was a Mythical-level breeding creature!

"This thing could help the Empress of Great Yan far more than others," Shen Hao was clear in his memory that Great Yan Empress Xi Qing's Golden Legendary Talent was[Phoenix Power].

Such high-quality and sustainable extraordinary resources would undoubtedly enhance the foundation of human civilization.

With this, all the rewards from the last trial were in hand!

"Looking at this, five and a half years are far from enough," Shen Hao checked the rewards again and could only say that there was too much that needed time to develop.

Not just the techniques, resources, and technologies obtained this time but also many foundations obtained earlier needed time as well.

Such as Sword Casting Mountain Domain, such as Illusion Secret Realm.

Even though they were already set up, they needed enough time to accumulate powerful effects.

After sorting through everything, the five and a half years were indeed extremely tight.

"Dong Gong." Shen Hao contacted Dong Gong again, "Call for a top-level meeting, the sooner the better. I'll attend in person."

"Yes!" Dong Gong's heart tightened slightly.

In person?

For most humans currently, Shen Hao's status was more and more lofty, even beginning to seem detached from the "mortal world", and many had grown accustomed to having a Guardian God of civilization high in Lingxiao Palace.

Anyway, Shen Hao hardly ever interfered with the normal functioning of the social order.

But now, he was going to preside over a top-level meeting himself?

When the news spread, everyone became a bit nervous, even though it had only been a few months since Shen Hao last chaired such a meeting. But after two trials, everything was completely different.

However, when the meeting started and Shen Hao appeared in the conference room, the tension among the participants slightly eased.

Because at this moment, Shen Hao just looked like an ordinary young man, maybe with a more extraordinary demeanour.
Experience new stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Clearly, he had reined in all his power.

However, just the first sentence at the beginning of the meeting startled everyone.

"I've gotten relatively accurate intelligence about the length of this rest period."

That single sentence brought a barely controllable sense of turbulence in the room, even Dong Gong sharply looked towards Shen Hao.

No other reason but that this information was too critical.

Everyone knew the value of the rest period. The Global United Front had held countless meetings and pushed forward many projects and agendas in the last few days, but the "duration" was a hurdle in front of everyone.

They had to consider the possibility of entering the next trial in just a few months.

Many important yet time-consuming projects were uncertain about meeting the deadline.

And now, they could know the exact time?

For a moment, many grew anxious.

The length of the rest period was too important for the current state of human civilization!
