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

```

Separated by a layer of Different Space, Lu Yuan did not hesitate to curse the monsters, "Stop fucking dreaming about becoming a god, you've already failed! Don't wipe out the last bloodline of the Green Grass Civilization!"

"I'm doing a good deed here."

Countless monsters went mad and pounced towards the Different Space!

Unfortunately for them, Space Ability belongs to the realm of Divine Skills.

These fellas have no souls, no targeted Divine Skills, and naturally, it is impossible for them to find the Different Space.

He saw the Undying Giant Turtle with its skin dyed purple.

Its pupils lost focus, and it was also mixed among the monsters, roaring with them, "Wagaga!!"

It looked like the turtle had switched sides, joining the enemy...

As for Old Cat, who knows where it ran off to.

With its wisdom, it had probably made a run for it...

"I'm temporarily safe," Lu Yuan thought to himself—as for how to escape from this damned place, he could worry about that later.

In all honesty, that last scene was just too dangerous.

In his life, Lu Yuan had never done something so crazy: charging into a million monsters and rescuing people!

Now he was completely exhausted.

He felt paralyzed, like a puddle of mud, leaning against the Tree of Life nearby, resting quietly.

"You didn't have to save me..." Miss Conch said weakly.

"I've already told you, I respect your dead parents, seeing you acting foolishly pisses me off," Lu Yuan said, his forehead veins throbbing as he thought about it.

"Keep yapping and I'll give you two big slaps to make you sober up to what humanity is!"

Miss Conch felt a bit wronged and almost cried.

"What do we do now?"

"The Opium poppy is launching a large-scale Field, extracting souls from the surrounding area."

"Now, everyone will die, we're still surrounded by monsters, and there's no way to escape."

"Nothing has changed... you can't think my choice was wrong..."

"Don't worry."

"Let me think, think hard."

Sweat soaked through his clothes as Lu Yuan racked his brains.

"Is there anyone left alive in the Green Grass Paradise?"

"The Green Grass Paradise was destroyed in the battle with the 'Demon'... precisely because the destruction was so abrupt that everyone died before they could even react, which is why there's this obsession."

"It's been several thousand years, it's not very likely that there are any living consciousnesses left... Of course, I'm not too sure how things really are."

"How long would you last in that golden flower before dying?"

"The preparation process is about 1-2 hours, I guess..."

"After two hours, the Opium poppy will inject a large amount of 'Divine Skill' and 'Spirit' to make me a god."

"But actually, there is no corresponding reserve left, I don't know what it will inject into me, maybe it's the Spirit extracted from the surrounding life forms over the past few thousand years..."

"Those Spirits haven't been purified and could cause serious mutations in me..."

Miss Conch had no solution now.

In any case, she had been rescued by Lu Yuan, so she could only tell the truth and cooperate fully.

"Is this preparation process compulsory?" Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.

"I could send you back first, then retrieve you after 1-2 hours, and repeat the process over and over..."

This method was simply bullying the other party's lack of intelligence.

It was like restarting a computer program over and over again, continuously wasting time.

"I... I don't know, I'm not clear on how it's set up."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment.

He felt he could not take this risk.

If it didn't work out, wouldn't Miss Conch die?

So, he flipped through every possible strategy in his mind, like turning rivers and seas inside out.

The blazing sun was in the sky, its scorching light could burn everything, and the plaza's mad monsters kept roaring insanely.

They rioted for a whole day and night.

Exhausted, they returned one by one to their buds to recuperate—physical laws still applied; it was too hot, and even monsters risk dehydration.

Only the Opium poppy was in a very active state; it kept launching 'Field·Confusion,' extracting the souls of surrounding lives.

Escaping now was even harder than when entering.

Because the enemy had gone from a vast army of flower buds to a single, fully awakened Opium poppy.

A single tree!

It was a match for a million-strong army!

"Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this thing?" Lu Yuan considered for a while in his mind. No matter what method he thought of, the risk was too high.

"But if things continue like this, the Gravel tribe will be wiped out."

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he thought of a plan that seemed feasible.

"How long does the step of injecting 'Divine Skill' and 'Spirit' have to last?"

"That thing... there should be no time limit, I guess."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "I might have found a good solution."

"What is something that can resist the injection of a soul?"

He took out his treasured possessions one by one from the Storage Space.

He had many Extraordinary Items, but not many that were truly aimed at the soul.

The first was Refined gold.

This was an extremely precious Extraordinary Material from a Rize Civilization spaceship that could block superpowers, several orders of magnitude stronger than Black Iron.

"Items forged from Refined gold can block Soul Power to some extent."

Next, he turned his attention to the Sealing Resin.

This stuff could even block the power of 'Ghosts'!

Resisting the injection of a soul shouldn't be a big problem.

"Teach me how to open this Star Sea Snail first."

"There's a password lock here; the way to open it is like this..."

Lu Yuan took out the Soul Gem, allowing Miss Conch's small orb of light to transfer into the gemstone.
