The crystal was irregularly shaped, appearing as if it were a fragment of something. Its surface was uneven and overall, it looked gray and unappealing. If not for the occasional glimmer and slight transparency, Wen Yu might have thought it was just a piece of broken stone.
However, the more ordinary it seemed, the more Wen Yu anticipated it. The Heavenly Dao could not possibly fool him with a mere broken stone, which was why Wen Yu decided to examine this object last.
With a thought, the crystal inside the Spatial Ring instantly appeared in Wen Yu's hand.
A cold sensation transmitted to his fingertips, and at the same time, an inexplicable emotion suddenly swept through Wen Yu's heart.
It was hard to define that feeling—
Sadness? A bit.
Excitement? Also, a little.
And more than that...
It should be a sense of attachment and an inexplicable hatred.
...
Quickly smoothing out the strange emotions in his heart, Wen Yu focused on the crystal in his hand.
It was as if a computer had overloaded, running sluggishly; after a moment, the prompt finally flashed through Wen Yu's mind.
“Shard of the Heart of the World (race foundation level artifact) (Rated this way due to the lack of higher levels) (Mutation): As the name suggests, the Heart of the World is the core of a world. Generally, the Heart of the World is hidden deep within the Earth's Core, containing more than half of the origin power of the entire world. Using certain methods, one can extract the origin power from within the Heart of the World. Once the origin power is completely exhausted, the Heart of the World will perish and shatter, turning into the most ordinary stone.”
“Upon identification, the shard of the Heart of the World in the host's possession is from the Heart of the World of the Immortal Heroic World, having been artificially shattered while its origin power had not been entirely depleted. This shard has been processed and refined into an artifact.”
“Usage Instructions: Integrate the shard of the Heart of the World into your body. Note: This action can only be performed by divine beast species of the Immortal Heroic World. If a non-divine beast species attempts forced integration, they will face a backlash from the shard, posing a significant risk to life!”
“When the shard of the Heart of the World is integrated into a divine beast species of the Immortal Heroic World, it will double the race's innate talents and grant the foundation level skill: Gaze of the World!”
“Gaze of the World (race foundation level, passive skill): Upon acquiring this skill, the host will be under the gaze of the world, possessing great fortune and opportunities within this world, gaining the powers close to that of the world’s son!”
“Note: Because the Immortal Heroic World has perished, and the world will has collapsed, the Gaze of the World is ineffective. Additionally, due to the unknown refining method, the solidification skill has mutated, transforming into the World Avenger!”
“World Avenger (race foundation level, passive skill): Carrying the last hope of a world, you do not need to restore the former glory of the Immortal Heroic World. You only need to make the enemies of the Immortal Heroic World feel its anger, making them pay the price with blood and tears!”
“Once the host acquires this skill, for each demonic creature (or...) killed, depending on the strength of the killed unit, the shard of the Heart of the World will release a trace of the world’s origin power, enhancing the host's innate talents as a divine beast species of the Immortal Heroic World. At the same time, the host will gain a World Avenger Mark!”
“World Avenger Mark: Condensing the despair and anger of dead beings, transforming into a blade that retaliates against all. When facing the target of revenge, each World Avenger Mark will slightly increase the host's attack strength (Note: Attack strength does not equate to physical attributes).”
...
After reading about the shard of the Heart of the World, Wen Yu's eyes immediately lit up.
