日日躁狠狠躁死你H

The quantity was not large; apart from the unknown energy, the Creation Energy was only about one percent of a unit, but it was indeed Creation Energy.

When Lin Xiao’s consciousness exited the Creation Rubik’s Cube’s space and he flipped his hand, seven more shadowy cores appeared in his palm. His gaze was incomparably passionate, gazing at the objects as if looking at a lover.

No, even more fervently than at a lover.

This was Creation Energy, after all.

Without any hesitation, he cast them into the Creation Rubik’s Cube. In the Sea of Gods, the phantom Magic Cube turned slightly, and the seven cores were reduced to nothingness.

The scarce Creation Energy accumulated there, while another part of the unknown energy… seemed to be of no use.

After some contemplation, he attempted to strengthen a Riflemen Card by inserting it into the Magic Cube, but it had no effect, indicating it couldn’t be used for enhancement.

If the Creation Rubik’s Cube couldn’t be used for enhancement, then it definitely wasn’t meant to be used that way.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then lightly touched it with his thoughts. The next second, his eyes widened in extreme surprise.

This unknown energy could actually be converted into experience. With a thought, all the unknown energy instantly transformed into energy, totaling eight thousand experience points.

“What a catch, a thousand points of experience for each, how bountiful!”

At this moment, those seemingly terrifying black liquid monsters became, in his eyes, experience and Creation Energy treasures.

Retracting his thoughts, he excitedly stretched out his hand towards the front. With a ‘crack,’ a burst of Magic Lightning struck down a monster that had just lunged onto the floating island, and his subordinates swarmed upon it.

Although these creatures, being spirit entities, were immune to most physical damage and difficult to deal with, the thought that each was worth a thousand experience points plus one percent Creation Energy invigorated him, giving him an abundance of energy.

Physical damage wasn’t very effective, but he still had Magic Lightning, didn’t he? He would crush his targets with spells and refine them with Creation Energy.

Perfect!

So much so that he lost interest in exploring the floating islands and had even less interest in leaving this unknown Void to return home.

What’s there to do back home? No matter how many treasures one finds, they’re all for Creation Energy. A regular bounty can, at most, contain ten or thirty points of Creation Energy, but here, these monsters are an endless source. If you’re diligent enough, it’s possible to amass thousands of points theoretically.

Furthermore, under the great fireball’s illumination, he and his subordinates experienced a significant increase in the recovery rate of their life, stamina, vigor, and mana. As long as he didn’t exhaust all his mana in one go, by resting a bit after killing each monster, he could maintain continuous Magic Lightning casting.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…”

The floating island echoed with the intermittent roars of thunder, pausing after every dozen or so to continue again.

At first, he lacked enough experience and had to strike his targets two or three times to find their cores. Later, as he became proficient, he could pinpoint the core on the first attempt. Lin Xiao and Wei Ya struck the monsters’ cores simultaneously, shattered their bodies, and then the next bolt of lightning would obliterate the core before swiftly grabbing and throwing it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube for conversion into experience and Creation Energy.

A stable one thousand experience points per monster meant that, to level up from Hero Level 2 to Level 3, which required half a million points of experience, and Lin Xiao already had three hundred fifty thousand points upon entering the floating islands. Thus, refining and killing one hundred fifty monsters would amass enough experience.

In just two days, he had accumulated enough experience to reach Level 3.

A Level 3 hero got three free points to allocate to strategic attributes; this time, he didn’t add to other attributes but invested all in Intelligence, which not only increased his mana limit but also strengthened the damage of his strategic spells.

He now had six points in Intelligence – – three free attribute points plus three points in all attributes from The Master of Truth.

Additionally, as a Level 3 hero, he could command Fifth Level soldiers, but unfortunately, he didn’t have any.

He also gained an extra barracks slot, which he also didn’t have.

However, Lin Xiao didn’t care at all about these things. Who would pay attention to these now? Leveling up was the first order of business.

In just two days, he had amassed nearly two units of Creation Energy. How exhilarating.

This was only because of his limited mana. The monsters that charged onto the floating islands each day weren’t just these few. With his mana constraints, he could only kill a part of them. With enough mana, he could kill hundreds or even a thousand in a day, possibly accumulating close to ten units of Creation Energy.

It was a pity he had found out too late. If only he had known sooner.

In the following days, Lin Xiao led a very fulfilling life. Despite the monotony of grinding, he didn’t feel bored at all; on the contrary, he was exceedingly excited, thrilled with each unit of Creation Energy harvested.

The more he killed, the richer the experience and the higher the efficiency, with his mana limit being the only constraint on progress.

At this point, Lin Xiao greatly regretted not having synthesized an advanced artifact that added to Intelligence. None of the three advanced or higher artifacts he currently possessed added Intelligence, and he couldn’t even synthesize one if he wanted to.

There’s an important rule in synthesizing artifacts: there must be a base artifact, and strengthening happens based on this base. The category of the resulting artifact will match the category of the base.

For instance, using an artifact that adds to Strength as the base, the synthesized artifact could never be an Intelligence-based one.

Leveling up from Level 3 to Level 4 required two million experience points, which was equivalent to two thousand kills.

As Lin Xiao became more and more proficient, the number of monsters he killed in a day gradually increased to around two hundred, and he could accumulate two units of Creation Energy and two hundred thousand experience points a day.

In just ten days, his Hero Level had risen from Level 3 to Level 4.

At this time, there were just over ten heroes who had reached Level 3 on the leaderboard.

The four strategy attribute points he gained from leveling up to Level 4 were all added to Intelligence. With the bonus from The Master of Truth, his Intelligence had now reached eleven points, surpassing his Agility attribute.

Similarly, he gained three more treasure slots and an additional barracks slot, and his command limit was increased by one level, which now allowed him to formally command Sixth Level advanced soldier types.

Still, there was nothing here, so he continued to command the highest level Swordsman available, which was Level 4.

It’s worth mentioning that his command population limit had tripled from the ten thousand at Level 3 Hero Level to a total of thirty thousand.

He recruited all his accumulated troops, including those from the Soldier Cards and the barracks, yet together they didn’t even reach ten thousand.

Moreover, he ran out of money.

Recruiting subordinates from the barracks also required money.

But Lin Xiao was indifferent to all these, single-mindedly staying here to grind for experience and Creation Energy, even uninterested in treasures outside.

Risking his life and running around outside wasn’t as good as happily farming here.

Worth mentioning is that as time passed, heroes who had emerged from the Ghost Ship, continuously fighting without a break, had numerous casualties. In less than half a month, most of them had died, and it seemed they wouldn’t last much longer before they all perished.

These heroes were Ghosts, and Lin Xiao occasionally observed them and had a guess.

He suspected that these Ghost heroes were likely heroes and their subordinates who had failed to conquer the Ghost Ship and became trapped in it.

He didn’t know what consequences would follow if all these Ghost heroes died, but for the sake of caution, he began consciously to support these non- communicative Ghost heroes, trying not to let them all die.

Meanwhile, he stole some monsters.

As the joyous days went by, one day while Lin Xiao was happily commanding his subordinates to besiege a newly born huge shadow, a message suddenly appeared in his mind. Startled, he stood still for several seconds before he involuntarily leaped into the air, reaching out towards the direction of the Floating Islands and letting out a deeply emotional cry:

“No!”

The Ghost battleship, which had been quietly moored at the edge of the Floating Islands, suddenly emitted an irresistible force of attraction, pulling him, his subordinates, and the other surviving Ghost heroes back into the Ghost battleship.

The once-decaying battleship miraculously reappeared and was re-embedded within the Ghost battleship. As the vessel slowly started moving away from the Floating Islands, the countless experience and Creation Energy also drifted away from him.

“Don’t, let me down, I don’t want to leave!”

Lin Xiao lay on the edge of the battleship’s deck, watching the Floating Islands, now enveloped in numerous writhing black liquids, grow farther and farther away, shedding tears of sorrow.

He didn’t want to leave at all. He had just started to get the hang of it after a month, and now he had to leave. At that moment, he felt an immense sense of loss.

But the Ghost battleship showed no response and carried him away from the Floating Islands. As the distance grew, the Islands shrank in his eyes, soon becoming just a speck of starlight, just like when he first saw them, until they disappeared.

With a dejected face, he lay against the ship’s railings, looking out at the evil wills that seemed poised to act, filled with a strong desire to jump off the ship and swim back.

But it was just a thought; he didn’t dare to jump for real.

“This is just… too speechless!”

He was utterly without words to express his frustration.

All that continuous streaming of Creation Energy was just slipping away from him.

When he recovered from his dejection the next day, his mood improved slightly upon seeing the fifty-six units of Creation Energy he had accumulated.

What followed was another aimless but purposeful drifting. A month ago, he thought it was aimless and purposeless drifting, but ever since he stepped foot on that Floating Island, he knew the Ghost battleship had a purpose; he just didn’t know where the next destination would be.

As time passed day by day, one day, Lin Xiao, who had been spacing out on the deck, suddenly caught a glimpse of light from the corner of his eye. He immediately turned his head towards the light, his facial muscles, stiff from a long time without expression, quickly twitched into a smile. His heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.

And the outcome did not disappoint him. As the light quickly grew larger, a Floating Island, not much different from the last, appeared before him. The island had a sun-like fireball that emitted milky-white flames, and it was surrounded by evil spirit entities that resembled black liquids. Evil spiritual aggregates occasionally surged onto the island.

Then, as Lin Xiao eagerly anticipated, the Ghost battleship slowly docked at the edge of the Floating Island.

A short while later, just as he had hoped, a pulling force emerged and threw him and many of the previously surviving Ghost heroes onto the Floating Island.

He let out an excited howl and commanded his troops to hot
