Emerald Star

Ordered divine power creates the extraordinary, while disordered divine power turns into disaster.

"So this is what they call the apocalypse."

In that once glorious era, orderly and stable divine power constructed everything. But after their disappearance, this abnormally chaotic divine power became a disaster, constantly eroding the world... This is the origin of the apocalypse.

Unfortunately, Jie Sheng wasn't interested in these things; he wasn't a historian.

Not many people truly care about the truth of the wasteland. Just as Jie Sheng only wants to conduct research now, Wang Yu and the others only want to live peacefully.

This is why both sides can get what they need and achieve a short-term cooperation.

Stop daydreaming and get to the mission.

As he spoke, Jie Sheng forcibly decomposed the abnormal divine power within a five-meter radius. Wang Yu was no longer affected by the abnormal divine power, and her body stopped changing.

"Looks like I'm still pretty strong. Knowledge really is power." Jie Sheng realized that with his current ability to decompose, ordinary divine power couldn't possibly affect him. This was a difference in their levels of power. Perhaps only gods who truly mastered the rules could contend with him.

"But who said we can't learn? Maybe those gods won't be as good at it as I am in the future."

The future is too far away; what's more important right now is to retrieve what the Gale Vine is protecting.

……

"Hehehe! Miss Mia, it seems you're about to give up."

"Gulp, I will not give in."

Under the influence of abnormal divine power, Mia struggled to maintain the stability of her body, preventing herself from transforming into a monster.

As for Wang Yu, who was undergoing painful changes, no one paid any attention to him... That's how it should have been.

It wasn't until she struggled to stand up again that she attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, Wang Yu's appearance had returned to normal, and there was no trace of the abnormality. This was obviously not normal.

Don't be fooled by his constant teasing of Mia; it's because he's certain she has no way to turn the tables. And his teasing isn't for his own amusement, but to record a video and provoke the administrator's anger. Otherwise, do you really think he's just bored?

"Kill that scavenger!"

They initially thought he was just an ordinary, unlucky scavenger. After all, the panic on Wang Yu's face didn't seem fake, and there was no trace of divine power in his body. He was definitely an ordinary person. But who would have thought that such a change would happen now?

The leader of the Blood Moon cultists' expressions changed, and he immediately ordered his men to launch an attack.

At his command, several attacks, flashing with ferocious blood light, shot swiftly toward Wang Yu.

But the blood-red light couldn't get close to the opponent; it was as if it had hit an invisible barrier and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"How is that possible!"

The Blood Moon cultists scanned Wang Yu from head to toe, quickly noticing something unusual: the box Wang Yu was clutching tightly in her arms. "That box she's holding must be a divine relic!"

The truth is what you eliminate the impossible. Since Wang Yu was able to withstand the attack just now, he must have used extraordinary power to resist it, or he must have used a divine relic.

If it were the former, the Blood Moon believers didn't detect any external divine power fluctuations, which means it could only be the latter. It couldn't be that a powerful expert, so strong that no one noticed, was protecting her closely.

Ignoring the attacks from behind, Wang Yu ran headlong towards the Gale Vine. With the protection of the black box, she now had a short-term "invincible" experience card.

Although she doesn't have the same strength as the Blood Lion, her petite size is an advantage.

Surrounded by numerous mutated animals, the Gale Vine swung its vines with all its might, unable to sense the slight disturbance beneath its feet. The earth trembled continuously, and a completely different, powerful divine force surged forth from the center where the Gale Vine was coiled.

To Jie Sheng's surprise, this peculiar divine power actually passed through his decomposition net, so it definitely didn't belong to either the Bloodthirsty Lion or the Gale Vine. Therefore, there was only one possibility...

Under the influence of this immense divine power, Wang Yu's body not only did not mutate into a monster, but instead changed in a positive direction. Her body became more active, and her mind became clearer.

gudu~

As her body underwent changes, an intense longing inexplicably arose within her, as if something was attracting her. Every organ involuntarily began to operate at high speed, absorbing the divine power permeating the air.

The Wild Wind Vine is extremely large, with each vine at least a meter thick, but correspondingly, the gaps between them are also extremely large.

Wang Yu dodged and weaved among the wildly twitching vines, reaching towards the interior of the Gale Vine.

Fortunately, her disguise worked, or rather, her ordinariness was the best disguise. Even though she fell several times due to the ground shaking and accidentally bumped into vines, the other party only regarded her as a stone thrown up by the vibration.

After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived at the heart of the Galevine and saw what the crows were fighting over.

At the center, surrounded by layers of vines, are numerous fine roots. Inside the roots is a huge, translucent, emerald-green stem, distinctly different from the rest of the plant, which pulsates like a heart with each breath.

At the center of the heart was a gem that shimmered with emerald light. Wang Yu couldn't make out its exact shape. It looked round, but the next second it revealed countless sharp angles, as if it were ever-changing.

The light was so dazzling, yet it seemed so illusory and untouchable.

The moment Wang Yu saw the gem, his mind went blank, his thoughts seemed to freeze, and only the instinctive desire remained.

A deep murmur sounded in her ear, as if coming from the void, enticing her soul.

Get it…swallow it…become…He…

"Gurgle!"

A dark figure suddenly appeared in Wang Yu's field of vision, blocking the brilliance of the jade gemstone and pulling her back to reality.

The flock of crows actually managed to break through!

Driven by their reckless breakthrough and the allure of the special divine power emanating from the gem, the various animals hidden around them seemed to have completely lost their minds and joined the charge. Even the Blood-Rotting Lion returned to the battlefield and launched another attack on the Gale Vine.

Under the siege of all the animals, the Wind Vine was ultimately unable to defend itself and released many crows.

The moment these crows entered the core, they began pecking at the emerald gem without hesitation, attempting to peel it off the heart of the Gale Vine.

However, this was obviously impossible; the toughness of the Gale Vine was not something that a mere crow could break through.

Having witnessed all of this, Jie Sheng was immediately captivated by the shimmering, star-like color of the jadeite gemstone the moment he saw it.

The fact that its color doesn't belong to any particular tier speaks volumes about its quality.

That's a color unique to mythology.
