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

Three years outside was just less than 10 days in here.

In these 10 days, Old Cat certainly hadn’t been idle. It had directed Old Wolf to climb from the Sky Pit to the very top, looking out toward the outside world.

They clearly witnessed the entire process of the dimensional fall.

It was like a smaller soap bubble slowly merging into a larger one.

Even from the perspective of the dimensional fall, they could see the hidden Safe Zone!

The buildings inside, the farms one by one, all were clearly visible; they could even see the Rize people gazing out at this mountain peak!

Well, the Rize people might have guessed something, their emotions a mix of joy and worry, still tirelessly sending out electromagnetic wave signals.

The astute Old Cat quickly thought of something, "Some of these caves will likely materialize inside the Safe Zone, becoming a part of it."

The [Monster] didn’t have the ability to create matter out of thin air. Instead, it had enveloped the mountain with Different Space, transforming it into its own territory.

Therefore, the position of this mountain peak hadn’t changed.

After rematerialization, it wouldn’t cause a massive ecological disaster, it simply returned the original mountain that was placed here.

This was a very magical spatial phenomenon.

"If Lu Yuan was here, he might be in such a quandary,"

"At the instant of the dimensional fall in Different Space, it might be his only chance to enter the Safe Zone..."

"Would he live together with this civilization in the Safe Zone, or continue wandering in the Pangu Continent?" The Cat with only a head left felt quite smug, subconsciously trying to scratch an itch, "What a pity he’s already dead, with no choice to make."

The next second, it realized it only had a head and couldn’t help but complain, "Can’t scratch an itch, AI malfunction’s getting serious."

"Awoo!" Old Wolf howled to the sky.

Old Cat suddenly thought of something and directed the wolf to carry the unconscious Rize people, one by one, into the cave that might fall into the Safe Zone.

Following the [Monster]’s death, these Rize people had been convulsing like they were in the throes of epilepsy.

"Will you ever wake up?"

In fact, the [Monster]’s servants weren’t that many, including a few warriors smeared with fluorescent powder—altogether just over two hundred.

Out of the more than ten thousand missing people, just over two hundred had become servants; the whereabouts of the rest were unknown.

They’re probably all dead...

The most likely to awaken were the telepath Tado and the healer Siter...

These two Rize people were the last to fall unconscious; perhaps a bit of their own will still lingered.

Old Wolf busily went back and forth for seven or eight days before it managed to drag these folks over.

After all, it was a medium-level mutated wolf, doing this bit of work was passable.

Finally, as time passed, the moment came when Different Space and reality fully coincided and the mountain returned to the real world.

This seemed to be a very peculiar spatial phenomenon—as if there was always a mountain peak here.

Just for an instant!

The mountain overlapped with its shadow!

Vast amounts of air were displaced, creating violent streams of wind.

Once these wind streams disappeared and you looked back, the cave filled with Rize people was gone.

Part of the mountain might have crossed the Light Screen and entered the Safe Zone.

Of course, it might also have been destroyed by the Safe Zone’s Light Screen.

Old Cat wouldn’t get hung up on these details, just as it had grown accustomed to life and death over its long lifespan... as long as you do the best you can, there’s nothing to regret!

"Let’s go, go see your master!"

The despicable Pangu Grey Wolf trotted out in a gust, emerging from the cave; it had caught the scent of its mate and seemed a bit restless.

So it scurried off, beginning the journey to find its master.

A day later, it found that Tree of Life.

True to its name as one of the rarities in the world, the orange fruits had grown even larger than the saplings! Yet the branches and leaves of the tree were lifeless, as if they had been sun-dried.

On a closer look, the fruits were nearly 1.1 meters in diameter, completely filling the tree hollow.

The fruit was like an artificial womb, filled with a viscous fluid, and at the very center, Lu Yuan was curled up like a baby, sleeping soundly.

"Aoo aoo aoo!" Old Wolf howled crazily at its master, a bit confused, wondering how you’ve become like this.

"Hey, aren’t you going to wake up? Old Lu? Stop lazing around in the fruit!"

"Your tree is about to be completely drained!"

"Dada dada!!" Old Cat used a spiritual attack.

Stimulated, Lu Yuan jolted awake amidst his slumber.

He felt as if he’d had a very long dream, so lengthy that reality and fantasy were blurred.

It wasn’t until Old Cat called out to him that his memories began to slowly resurface. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I am Lu Yuan, not a fruit..."

"Was I fighting? Did I die?" He couldn’t even remember how he died.

Poking a finger through the fruit’s protective layer, "whoosh," a large amount of waxen yellow fluid gushed out from the tree cavity.

Lu Yuan crawled out of the hole and looked up at the blazing sun, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Did we win?"

"We’ve won, [Monster] is dead," Old Cat spoke gravely, "but Lu Yuan Unit-01 is dead too, your name is now Lu Yuan Unit-02."

"I’m called Unit-02 now?" Lu Yuan questioned his life.

"Yes, comrade, your intestines were blown out."

Old Wolf suddenly shivered as if he made a mistake, then, wagging his tail and taking small steps, he rubbed against Lu Yuan’s feet.

[High-level Mutated Pangu Grey Wolf, due to an abundance of nutrients, substantial experiences, and certain unknown factors, underwent a high-level mutation.]

[Lifespan, physical strength, reproductive capability have significantly increased.]

"You underwent a high-level mutation? What did you eat?"

Old Wolf yawned, "Intestines, truly delicious."

Old Cat’s eyes shone like Cat’s Eye Stones, "It mutated into an anus-snatching hyena, as to whose anus it snatched, comrade, you wouldn’t want to know."

…

Memories trickled back bit by bit. Lu Yuan clutched his head and shook it.

With the Tree of Life, death seemed less fearsome.

Looking at his hands, aside from being a bit tender, they were identical to before, down to the distinct pattern of eight swirls on his fingerprints.

But the calluses and scars on his hands were not restored.

Those strange and marvelous eyes were not restored either.

The great philosopher is a great philosopher, after all. The first thing he did after resurrection was to ponder philosophy: "If a person’s cells are all replaced, am I still me? Who has become me? Who have I become?"

"And what is the boundary between life and death?"

[Qi:16.8]

[Spirit:15.5]

[Extraordinary Level: Level 3.]

[Innate Ability: Different Space, Pioneer’s Eye, Explorer’s Eye, Storage Space, Eternal Body, Craftsmanship, Instant Teleportation.]

[Soul Companion: Tree of Life.]

[Evaluation: This guy looks ordinary, but he has seven innate abilities and the power of resurrection. Is he an anomaly? Or the beloved son of a God?]

"My attributes seem to have increased just a tiny bit?"

Lu Yuan wasn’t entirely sure anymore.

Even if there was an improvement, it couldn’t be much.

"Wait, what is this Instant Teleportation thing? When did that show up?"

He closed his eyes and concentrated intently for a moment, his face revealing an expression of delight!

This ability was powerful!

[Spatial Teleportation: Leap to any destination you desire. The farther the distance, the more spiritual power is consumed. Without sufficient spiritual power, you cannot leap.]

[Teleportation that complies with safety rules: Use your eyes to directly view your destination, then leap.]

[Teleportation that doesn’t comply with safety rules: Use your mind to visualize the destination, then leap. This method can reach more locations, but comes with significant risks.]
