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

Chapter 342: Lu Yuan's Unit 3 - Death!



The ground roared, magma churned, and the air grew increasingly hotter, leaving Lu Yuan with little time to think.

"I, the Greedy Demon God, even in death, shall be greedy!" Lu Yuan took off all his equipment and stuffed them into his Storage Space.

He then took out a Frost Jade Pendant, popped it into his mouth, and the cold sensation spread throughout his body.

This thing's function was "High Temperature Resistance," just an ordinary level of extraordinary equipment, which he wouldn't mind losing.

He had initially wanted to eat a fruit to gain a [Vitality] buff, but found he had already fed all the fruits to the Mirage Cloud Dragon.

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly, took a deep breath, shouted, and punched the white jade stone with a red glow emanating from his body!

Several gears were directly knocked away, and magma crazily gushed in!

"Damn! This temperature!"

Instantly, Lu Yuan felt as hot as ants in a frying pan, and his skin on the fist was scalded.

He quickly, with nimble hands and feet, frantically stuffed these messy gears and white jade walls into the Storage Space.

"Crash!" The White Jade Hall finally couldn't withstand the external pressure and fell.

Lu Yuan's pupils widened, and with a forceful kick of his legs, he leaped into the magma!

He was going to the depths of Earth's Core to get some treasures!

"I, the Greedy Demon God, even in death, shall be greedy!!!"

The temperature was too bloody high, and without ice powers like the Mirage Cloud Dragon, Lu Yuan could only rely on the jade pendant and the "Eternal Spark" to endure the extreme heat and pressure.

Sticky, scorching hot.

In that instant, he felt as if he was in a frying pan.

But strangely, once the pain reached a certain level, it seemed he didn't feel much.

Watching his skin boil, time seemed to slow down, his vision was completely red, and given the magma wasn't transparent, he couldn't find the so-called treasures.

"Spatial Teleportation!" Lu Yuan suddenly moved a hundred meters towards the hottest direction.

His face burst with blood.

"Spatial Teleportation!"

Miraculously, he actually found some shiny glowing stones in the magma, and recognized them as "Chaos Essence Stones," which grew on these glowing stones and radiated heat like the sun.

Burned to a crisp, Lu Yuan began to cough up blood, and in a frenzy, stuffed these stones along with the magma into his Storage Space!

He didn't even have time to see what they were.

"It seems like I'm about to die."

"My Storage Space is full... hahaha..." This was the last thought of the Greedy Demon God, he couldn't possibly take all the resources from the Earth Vein, at most just a small portion.

His eyes closed, and the red glow on his body faded away, turning to ash in mere seconds.

Lu Yuan ended his third life in the sun-hot magma!

...

And in the next second, Lu Yuan's consciousness appeared on the Tree of Life.

Severe pain originated deep from his soul, a side effect of resurrection, his mind hazy, his brain blank, as though it had crashed.

The terror between life and death, the fine line between survival and demise, is a vast philosophical question.

Every resurrection, although indeed bringing him back to life, did not make that subtle soul pain any more wonderful.

After a long while, the chaotic confusion gradually dissipated, and Lu Yuan slowly regained his thinking ability.

"Sigh... I survived, truly terrifying!"

At this moment, it was one o'clock in the morning in Pangu Continent; an extremely intense sulfur smell spread across Green Mountain.

Part of it was poisonous gas, exhausting most animals and plants, making them look as if they were about to die.

And the city lights were bright, obviously, all humans were working overtime, jointly fighting this severe disaster.

The most important thing was manufacturing gas masks, harvesting crops, and slaughtering livestock, all large projects.

"This gas, a Level Three master could resist, but for Level Two civilians, it's a bit difficult."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly inside, even Sky City far away was affected... this indeed counted as a world-class natural disaster.

However, in his current weakened state, he couldn't be of any help, he needed to create his own physical body first.

A branch of the Tree of Life, under Lu Yuan's influence, slowly transformed into the shape of a baby.

Lu Yuan was now a Level Six master, his Divine Attribute was at 27 points, much stronger than before; a new human body would take at least five years to mature.

He then called for Worm King · Lu Da to report on the city's situation.

"King, you're back!" Lu Da bowed slightly.

"Hmm, I'm alright, tell the Insect Soldiers not to be agitated. How is Green Grass City?"

"The city dwellers weren't harmed much. Children and the elderly were sheltered in Sanctuaries in time, it's just the ordinary livestock that died a lot, currently being urgently slaughtered..."

"The future produce capability is predicted to decrease by 70%, it depends on when we can get away from the volcano zone. If it's quick, not a big problem. Otherwise, we must start indoor cultivation, tough days ahead."

Lu Yuan was somewhat worried. Humans had quite a lot of food reserves, almost enough for two years.

Adding to that the large numbers of livestock that had died, freeing up food, humans could barely survive, even if the food was of lower quality.

Lu Da added, "There might be a volcanic winter in the future; I've already put most of the Insect Soldiers into defense hibernation, only a few participate in disaster relief work."
