I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The Cannibal Flower opened its mouth and ferociously devoured the Old Wolf.

"Aoaoao!"

The she-wolves were shocked, letting out tragic howls in unison.

They tore into the Cannibal Flower mercilessly.

Even though the Cannibal Flower was as strong as a demon,

they defended their husband fearlessly, without regard for their lives!

...

After teaching that damn Old Wolf a lesson,

Lu Yuan finally regained his emotional balance...

Cough cough, well, sort of.

"These harem members are quite loyal, damn it."

He decided to ignore them and attempted to use this tree as his body to activate abilities like Different Space and Instant Teleportation.

Alright, the abilities of this tree were exactly like his own, even stronger than his original body!

As a Tree of Life, he felt his recovery ability was incomparable; previously, a 100-meter Spatial Teleportation would deplete his spiritual power completely, requiring several hours of rest before he could recover.

Now, though it still depleted, he would recover after just a few minutes.

"The recovery speed has increased by more than 50 times..."

Using abilities like Different Space, which have smaller energy consumption, he might be able to maintain it indefinitely...

Spiritual power would never be exhausted!

As long as he was willing to hide in Different Space for life, he wouldn’t die.

"Looking at it this way, your new body is pretty impressive," Old Cat evaluated. "It’s just slow and not very agile, relying on a single Cannibal Flower for combat."

"However, the future is promising."

"Once it grows to a certain extent, it will definitely be much stronger than your human body."

"Oh, by the way, try biting yourself. It should come with its own healing ability,"

he said, pointing a furry paw at Lu Yuan’s human body.

The large Cannibal Flower immediately bit the human body several times, instantly covering it in wounds and exposing the bones beneath.

"Aoao!" At this moment, Old Wolf proved quite loyal, baring his teeth and growling from afar.

Lu Yuan paid no attention to it.

With a gentle swallow, the human body was devoured by the Cannibal Flower.

A faint green light flickered inside the Cannibal Flower... it was the Extraordinary Spark, combined with the Tree of Life’s native healing power.

The next minute, when the human body was spit out, the injuries had already healed.

Completing these tests, Lu Yuan transferred his soul back to the human body and checked his arm, fully restored: "Huh... indeed, not bad."

"In addition to his original abilities, he now had additional capabilities like Healing, Anti-Bleeding, Anti-Hit, Devour, and Spiritual Spike."

"I always thought this thing was only for resurrection purposes. I didn’t expect it to have so many uses... If it devours another ’Monster,’ it will probably be much stronger than me."

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly. What sort of virtue or capacity did he have to defeat another terrifying Anomaly again?

One must not be too greedy...

"Let’s go, to the First Branch of Civilizations and take a look," he said.

Each had their gains after the great battle.

Old Cat gained a nuclear-powered body; Lu Yuan obtained a new ability; the Tree of Life gained even more, devouring the ’Monster’ completely clean, transforming from a sapling to a towering 3.2-meter tree.

Even the Old Wolf, transformed into a high-level mutant creature, had also gained a harem.

Then, Lu Yuan took a speedboat from his Storage Space, gifted by the Rize Civilization.

The Tree of Life would be left here for now. Crossing over the Safe Zone was still risky, and should it perish, there was still a chance for resurrection.

Moreover, the remnants of the ’Demon’ and that drop of the ’Ghost’s blood needed to be buried under the Tree of Life.

Lu Yuan turned around, his face sullen, and his eyes sharply cursed, "You debauched creature. We are about to embark on our next journey, but it’s only a short trip; we’ll have to come back after a while."

"Will you stay here for a while longer with your harem, or will you come with us?" he asked.

Lu Yuan was compassionate, after all, allowing the wolf to choose instead of forcing an immediate split.

Old Wolf wagged his tail, his steps uncertain, with a pandering expression on his face.

The happiness and pain of trying to keep a dozen lovers afloat are indescribable to others.

The scoundrel Old Wolf thus happily boarded the boat, forsaking everything.

The wolves were going to establish another harem elsewhere. Farewell!

The harem on shore was utterly confused.

As the speedboat’s engine roared to life, the smartest she-wolf suddenly began to bark.

Then, all twelve wolves started to mournfully howl, each with a look of grief.

Even the pink wolf rolled on the ground, showing off a row of shiny teeth.

"Aoaoao!"

The soul-stirring scene was like a song of youth, with their young, hormone-filled bodies wildly expressing their passion.

Many she-wolves jumped into the river and rushed towards the speedboat, howling at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt like he was the villain breaking up lovebirds.

He felt utterly terrible.

"Aoaoao!" Another all-white she-wolf lay on her back, showing off her unremarkable belly.

"What’s the matter, you’re not pregnant... you want Old Wolf to take responsibility too?" Lu Yuan felt around, but there were no signs of a new life.

The all-white she-wolf howled even more intensely.

It knew Lu Yuan was stronger than it, and its tantrum was marked by a certain grace.

It was heartbroken precisely because it wasn’t pregnant!

I’m only lazy with you because I’m pregnant.

Lu Yuan was shocked. This line of thinking... seemed... a bit different from that of humans?

He turned to look at Old Wolf, who had a defeated look on his face, licking his big hoof, which had gotten considerably whiter over the past few days... He simply couldn’t fight anymore.

All the female wolves strongly condemned him.

Lu Yuan screamed and covered his face.

This human warrior, who had overcome terrifying anomalies and was revered by multiple civilizations, received personally by city leaders, was now experiencing unprecedented spiritual attacks and a barrage of condemnation, so much so that he didn’t dare start the speedboat’s engine.

Oh, the agony, my lord!

"Comrade, it’s pointless to reason with this lascivious thing. You should grant it full freedom, let it be happy, let it suffer."

"After enough fun, it will naturally be severely drained of essence, and then it will say goodbye because after all, it’s just a wolf scum."

That does make sense!

From his Storage Space, Lu Yuan took out a bottle of plants called "Primordial Yang Fruit," which greatly promotes male creatures’ reproductive desire.

Of course, consuming too much would deplete one’s essence.

This mysterious, mutated fruit, of which he had collected quite a bit, would surely fetch a high price on Earth, more precious than gold.

He fed a few to Old Wolf.

He also took out a horn from a Knocking Beast, scraped some powder off it, and gave it to the wolf to eat.

Old Wolf showed a blissful expression, feeling as though it was filled with all the energies of the wild!

This feeling was fantastic; life could once again be in great harmony.

With one kick, Lu Yuan sent the wolf scum off: "Scram! Enjoy your freedom a while longer!"

The harem immediately surrounded their beloved husband, thanking Lu Yuan profusely: "Ao ao ao!"

"Ladies, no need to thank me."

"Rumble rumble!"

The engine of the speedboat roared to life, speeding off into the distance...

Only Old Wolf was left behind, his one eye watching the horizon.

The harem, one after another, had eyes glowing with green envy.

Old Wolf suddenly felt a sense of danger, as if... something was off?

...

...

Traveling down the River, flowing with its current, was incredibly exhilarating!

Lu Yuan drove the speedboat across the turbulent waters, surfing with passion, the rising white mist spraying him, cool and refreshing.

It made one grip the steering wheel even tighter, urging Old Cat to hit the throttle, relishing the speed and excitement that technology provided! (The Rize Civilization’s throttle is operated with a tail.)

The speedboat could reach speeds of 60 kilometers per hour, theoretically meaning they could arrive at their destination in about 100 hours. Even with time for sleep and meals, it wouldn’t take too long.

The amount of fuel Lu Yuan brought was also more than enough to support this journey.

"The power of technology is truly exhilarating."

"If only the journey to Sky City were this smooth."

He said, full of passion. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Unfortunately, that was impossible.

Because the course of the river was completely opposite the direction of Sky City.

As for other forms of transportation, they too were impractical, for the roads were rugged, the mountains were steep, and cars obviously couldn’t travel fast; a bicycle or a tricycle would suffice, albeit barely.

Thus, in just six short days, Lu Yuan had crossed a distance of 6000 kilometers and arrived near the First Branch of the Rize Civilization.

...

Here was a huge stone, an obvious landmark.

And Old Cat’s electronic equipment started picking up some electromagnetic signals.

As for crossing into the Safe Zone, the first time is learning, the second is familiar.

First, they had Old Cat use the electromagnetic signals to get in touch with the civilization inside the Safe Zone.

Then they had them shine a strong light to create a visible point.

At last, Lu Yuan visualized a landing point and forced his way in with Spatial Teleportation.

"Whoosh!"

Locations that didn’t comply with the safety rules caused some disorder in his body, with many capillaries bursting.

The Extraordinary Spark in his mind released streaks of light, quickly healing that slight disorder.

Greeted by a wave of admiration and exclamations.

Well then, crossing into the Safe Zone truly was a thing of envy... it meant an infinite head start and a solid rear base, the ability to seek opportunities while managing risks.

Combined with the "Storage Space" ability, it was indeed something to envy.

"Welcome to the Rize Civilization’s First Branch, Mr. Lu!"

"I am the Governor here, Moxi."

The two shook hands.

"Greetings, Governor Moxi! I’ve come to acquire some medicine," Lu Yuan cut to the chase, handing over a box filled with trade goods from the Seventh Branch.

The most precious of these goods was naturally the Sealing Resin, two small pieces the size of a thumb.

The First Branch of the Rize Civilization also warmly received Lu Yuan and invited him to settle there.

However, Lu Yuan politely declined the invitation.

He sighed lightly, "I’m still needed back at the Seventh Branch. Lives are at stake there, so I won’t stay long here."

Then he took back another box.

The box came with its own cooling function, still emitting a chilly breeze.
