The Message

“Mhm, mhm. You're saying you found something inside this sea urchin's body, but you don't know what it is because it's too massive?”

As he watched the black line of a shadow wriggle in the air before him, Xia De nodded from time to time with an expression of sudden realization. Then, he clapped his hands together with a clap and said:

“Don't worry. Once we're done eating this big guy, I'll go check out what it is.”

Just like that, in the dim space, a handsome youth sat atop a dragon corpse covered in spikes, playing a game with a black line in front of him.

Looking closely, they were actually playing rock-paper-scissors. Every time the black line lost, it would twist itself into a fist with its thumb and index finger sticking out, prompting Xia De to complain:

“You're cheating again!”

His voice echoed in the cavernous space.

Meanwhile, the dragon corpse beneath them gradually shriveled up like a deflated ball.

Sensing that the devouring was almost complete, Xia De stood up and leaped down to the ground.

He glanced at his status panel, and a smile instantly broke across his face, impossible to suppress.

【Name: Xia De (A human reincarnated from another world)

Combat Power: 158,634

Skills: All-Attribute Elemental Magic, Stealth Magic, Perception Magic, Spatial Storage Magic, Surveillance Magic, Mastery of All Weapons, Mirror Image...】

This had directly boosted his Combat Power by nearly 130,000. The number brought him immense satisfaction, akin to the feeling of finding his bank account balance had surged after a satisfying meal.

“Now, let's see what other surprises are waiting for me.”

Xia De stared at the massive dragon corpse, a faint glint flashing in the pupils of his excited face.

Perception Domain, expand!

Then, his body stiffened, his eyes widening involuntarily, and his entire frame began to tremble slightly.

The smile he had barely been holding back curled up even higher.

Within the vision of his Perception Domain, countless jewels and gold were piled together, forming a small mountain. If exposed to light, it would surely radiate a dazzling golden glow.

Even a pair of 24K titanium alloy eyes wouldn't have been enough to withstand the glare!

Among them, there were also hundreds, if not thousands, of magic tools radiating mana fluctuations. The weakest was Tier Three, while the strongest even reached Tier Seven!

“This time, I've truly struck it rich!”

Dragons loving treasure was a concept he brought over from his previous life. However, when he first saw Plutosas, only the gargantuan beast itself had been lying there, with no sign of any treasure in sight, so Xia De had stopped thinking about it.

He just hadn't expected Plutosas to actually hide its treasures inside its own body.

He pressed his hands together in a brief moment of silence for the deceased Plutosas.

Xia De snapped his fingers, and several incredibly massive light orbs suddenly appeared in the dim space, their radiance filling the entire cavern.

He slowly directed the shadows to begin the extraction surgery, preparing to dig the treasure out of the dragon corpse. The shadows systematically devoured the dragon's remains.

Before long, the mountain-like corpse vanished, leaving another small mountain in its place.

It was a mountain of treasure, glittering with golden light and radiating intense mana fluctuations!

Wiping away the drool that had escaped from sheer excitement, Xia De extended his hand toward the mountain of gold, and a light-blue magic circle materialized.

In the next second, the treasure vanished without a trace, leaving the sealed space completely empty.

Xia De patted the satchel at his waist with satisfaction.

“Fortunately, I researched spatial manipulation before and made a storage bag. Otherwise, if I couldn't take all this with me, my heart would have literally broken.”

Only after finishing all of this did he turn his gaze to the sword lying solitary on the ground. The fiftyfold gravity still pressed down on him, exerting some pressure on his physical body.

“As for you, I can feel that fiftyfold gravity is far from your limit. You also deserve some credit for the 120,000 Combat Power I just gained. Otherwise, devouring him whole would have only given me around 100,000.

Since you can rapidly boost my Combat Power and you have that ability to obstruct mana circulation, there's no way I'm letting you go.

But if you keep emitting this gravity, I won't even be able to go outside normally. Everything within a hundred-meter radius would turn to ruins. It's really a headache.”

Xia De squatted beside the black greatsword and reached out to tap its blade twice. The sword emitted a dull, heavy thud.

Perception magic, expand.

【Item: Black Greatsword

Combat Power: 1,000,000 (Cannot actively attack. Requires the host to inject mana to release its abilities. The power it can unleash cannot exceed the host's own Tier.)

Description: Said to be forged from meteoric iron that fell from the sky. It possesses the ability to obstruct mana circulation and control gravity within a certain range.

Evaluation: A tool well-suited for tempering the physical body and mana.】

After pondering for a long while, Xia De couldn't come up with a good solution. He finally gave up in resignation and sighed:

“Whatever. Worst-case scenario, I'll just go back and buy an estate to cultivate in by myself. When I go out, I'll just put you in my storage space.

For now, I still need to figure out how to get out. After all, this place seems to be tens of thousands of meters underground.”

Xia De squatted on the ground, tilting his head up to look at the ceiling of the sealed space.

Only pitch-black met his eyes. The dark stone walls were covered in crooked, jagged fissures, with only scattered pieces of ore casting a faint glow around the area.

After devouring Plutosas, he felt his comprehension of space deepen slightly. He was now able to use the spatial teleportation he had previously conceptualized.

However, the distance was a bit awkward. If he wanted to perform a long-distance teleportation, he would need a coordinate.

This coordinate wasn't anything overly complex; it could simply be a person or an object that resided in that location.

At this thought, Xia De slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering how he had been teleported here in the first place. Fearing that something might go wrong, he had put away the two canes just a second before the teleportation.

He pulled the two canes out of his storage bag. The moment they appeared in his hands, both the canes and the black greatsword simultaneously glowed with a white light.

Immediately after, the weight on his body vanished. A strong sensation of weightlessness made him feel as though he were floating in midair.

The abnormal gravity had completely dissipated.

Then, symbols began to float out from the black greatsword, drifting before Xia De's eyes and forming a paragraph of text in midair.

“O brave and fearless junior, I presume that by the time you see this message, you have already teleported to the side of Starfall.

To avoid drawing Plutosas's attention, I shall keep this brief.

Starfall has two main abilities. One is to obstruct the flow of mana, weakening spells or even preventing opponents from casting them altogether. The second ability is to control gravity within a targeted range.

It was by relying on this ability that I was able to suppress Plutosas.

To prevent it from escaping, I left Starfall here and actively triggered its gravity to suppress Plutosas.

This gravity was specifically targeted at Plutosas; other targets shouldn't feel it. However, fearing that evil lackeys might come to rescue it, I set a command for Starfall to increase gravity progressively within a hundred-meter radius.

For ordinary extraordinaries, simply adapting to fivefold gravity is already extremely impressive, yet the gravity within ten meters of Starfall reaches fifty times the normal rate.

Even I, the strongest expert of the dwarf race in thousands of years, could barely take a step. I imagine those evil lackeys wouldn't even be able to get close; they would be squashed into pancakes dipped in tomato sauce just by standing outside!

Hahahaha! Saying that actually makes me a bit hungry!

Cough, cough. Back to the point. You might be wondering why you didn't feel anything. That is because I left a restriction: as long as the two teleportation keys appear within ten meters of Starfall, the gravity will dissipate.

Furthermore, the spatial coordinates I set allow direct teleportation right next to Starfall. As long as you hold the two keys firmly, you will absolutely not teleport off course!

Speaking of this spatial teleportation magic, I must mention my human friend again. He was the one who taught me this spatial magic, which can achieve Tier Nine effects even at Tier Eight.

Let me tell you, he was an absolute genius!

Cough, cough. My apologies, off-topic again. Returning to the main point, whether you specifically collected the two keys after hearing my story or gathered them and teleported here by chance...

If I am not mistaken, with the passage of time, Plutosas must have become extremely weak.

For the safety of this continent, please use Starfall to kill Plutosas and complete what I left unfinished.

I entrust this to you, hero of the future!

P.S. Do not worry about being unable to return. As long as you hold Starfall and chant the incantation: ‘Loso is the strongest, most handsome, and most awesome dwarf,’ you will activate the spatial teleportation magic to return.”
