283: Get rich? There is no recovery!

"God, have you decided to help us?"

Hearing the elder's words, Lin Yang sighed and slowly said, "If the other party is stronger than me, then even if I want to help, I can't."

He asked that to see if he could infer the technological strength of that alien civilization.

If it wasn't too powerful, then helping them on the side wouldn't be impossible, but if it was too strong, even if the divine stone this elder was offering him was a cosmic treasure, it wouldn't be worth it.

The elder was stunned for a moment, then showed a bitter expression and said, "That is natural. If God is not confident in helping, then God's own safety should be prioritized."

Lin Yang nodded.

The elder then continued, "I still remember a little about the appearance of those Gods' flying objects. I can draw a rough sketch for you. As for the last time they collected sacrifices, several years have passed. Calculating the time, if nothing unexpected happens, they will probably come again to collect them in about two months."

Towards the end, the elder's tone became much heavier.

"Two months?" Lin Yang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but say, "That's quite a coincidence."

"Coincidence?" The elder looked puzzled.

"Nothing, just draw me what that spaceship looks like, and if possible, provide some other information," Lin Yang said nothing more.

The reason he said it was a coincidence was because it would also take more than a month, nearly two months, to repair the Apocalypse.

And the time for the other party to collect sacrifices was not much different. If he could help this tribe now, he wouldn't have to waste extra time waiting for the other party to arrive.

However, there was no need to say these words out loud.

Afterward, the elder began to recount the information he knew while trying to draw the appearance of those spaceships.

He drew for over an hour, and only managed to sketch a rough outline of a spaceship.

Lin Yang frowned. It was truly difficult to discern the technological level of the spaceship from its rough outline.

The elder, seeing Lin Yang's constant frowning, said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, God, every time those other Gods come, their flying objects are in the sky, and we can't see them very clearly. We can only remember a general idea."

"Alright, although it's not of much use, it's better than nothing," Lin Yang smacked his lips.

Although it was difficult to tell the exact level of the spaceship, based on its simple outline, the level of civilization should not be too high, so it was not entirely useless.

Then, he glanced in the direction where Gen had gone earlier and couldn't help but ask, "It's been so long, and Gen still hasn't returned. Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

"Don't worry, God. The path in the mountains is just a bit difficult to walk, but that area is quite safe."

The elder spoke, explaining that it was where they hid the supreme divine stone, very secluded but very safe, it just took a bit longer to go back and forth.

Lin Yang said no more, and after waiting for about another half an hour, Gen's figure reappeared in his sight.

"He's back," the elder's expression brightened when he saw Gen.

Gen quickly ran closer, then took out a black lacquered stone box from his embrace and handed it to the elder.

The elder took it and said to Lin Yang, "God, this is our tribe's supreme divine stone. Please examine it."

As he spoke, he turned his body to the side, with his back to the tribe members, placing the stone box in front of him, and only opened it after ensuring others couldn't see inside.

Inside the box, a crystal-clear, rhomboid crystal lay quietly.

It looked a bit like crystal, and also a bit like a diamond.

However, the difference was that this crystal was completely transparent, and there was no dazzling light on it like crystal or diamond.

It looked... very ordinary!

"This... this is the treasure you spoke of, the supreme divine stone?" Lin Yang blinked.

Such an ordinary crystal, given such a domineering name, was truly hard to bear.

The elder, however, was full of seriousness: "Yes, God, don't let the divine stone's ordinary appearance deceive you. In reality, its power is immeasurable. This stone box was specially made by our ancestors to store the divine stone and isolate its power. Otherwise, if it were left out, everyone would be affected by the divine stone."

"Is it that powerful?"

Lin Yang looked at it twice more, still unable to see how special this thing was, so he directly called out to System, preparing to have System scan what exactly this thing was.

Although System did not fall into a long period of dormancy like last time after this spatial barrier traversal, it still entered a brief dormancy after successfully crash-landing here.

However, the difference was that System's dormancy last time was completely passive and could not be awakened.

This time, the dormancy was autonomous, and he could awaken System at any time.

As System was awakened, Lin Yang briefly explained the situation and then prepared to have System scan this supreme divine stone.

However, the next moment, before he even spoke, he heard System emit an exaggerated burst of sound:

"Oh my God, Host, your luck is truly too good! To encounter such a great fortune by simply crash-landing on a planet! Host, what are you hesitating for? Just agree and get this divine stone!"

"..." Lin Yang was stunned.

Listening to System's exaggerated voice, he was truly stunned.

It was the first time he had heard so many emotions in System's words!

This made him a little shocked.

However, shocked as he was, Lin Yang immediately asked, "Judging by your tone, is this divine stone really a very powerful treasure?"

"It's more than just very powerful; it's indescribably powerful and precious!" System emphasized again.

"This... what exactly is this?" Lin Yang's curiosity reached its peak.

"Host, do you still remember the extraordinary characteristic material that System mentioned earlier when we were in the Tianji Federal Empire?" System suddenly asked.

"I remember! What about it? Could this thing be related to extraordinary characteristic material?" Lin Yang nodded and retorted.

He hadn't lost his memory. It hadn't been that long, how could he forget?!

"Answering Host, this object is not related to extraordinary characteristic material; rather, it is extraordinary characteristic material itself!"

"Wh-what?"

System's words were astonishing, startling Lin Yang into a rapid heartbeat. He said in disbelief, "System, you, what did you say? This seemingly ordinary crystal is actually... extraordinary characteristic material??"

He was truly stunned!

System's explanation of extraordinary characteristic material a while ago was still vivid in his memory.

That was a product of a domain that only unimaginably powerful super civilizations could touch!

But now, here, an extraordinary characteristic material had actually appeared?!

"System, you're not kidding, are you? Is this really extraordinary characteristic material? How could there be extraordinary characteristic material in a place like this?" Lin Yang was incredibly shocked.

"Host, System never jokes!"

System also answered very seriously.

"This crystal is, without a doubt, an extraordinary characteristic material!"

"You've hit the jackpot this time!!"

"extraordinary characteristic material is priceless!"

"Please note, the 'city' System is referring to here is a galaxy-city calculated in units of cosmic star regions!"

"Host, you're going to get rich! You're going to get very rich!!"

"This single crystal alone can be exchanged for hundreds or thousands of star regions without a problem!"

System's voice grew more and more excited as it spoke.

Lin Yang's heart pounded even harder.

This surprise was a bit too big.

Terrifyingly big!

Suddenly, Lin Yang seemed to think of something, and his expression instantly turned serious again: "System, are you overlooking something? Although extraordinary characteristic material is invaluable, in our hands, it should be a hot potato. If it's exposed, I'm afraid we'll be doomed, won't we?"

A treasure might be good, but if it's too good, it becomes a disaster.

Possessing a supreme treasure without sufficient strength is like a baby wandering in the wilderness with a hundred-dollar bill; it will only lead to plunder!

He was currently in the situation of not having the strength to possess an extraordinary characteristic material.

If the news of him possessing an extraordinary characteristic material were to be exposed, he almost didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"Uh..."

System's excited voice instantly cut off when it heard Lin Yang's worried words.
