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

```

This surge of pleasure came so suddenly, as if it originated from deep within the soul, making every cell in the body begin to cheer and leap, a feeling of serenity, peace, happiness, and tranquility emerged all together.

[We invite you, to the Ascension Ceremony.]

[We will eventually go into the embrace of the gods... In a carefree realm, we will establish an eternal Heaven.]

[Don't you want to join us?]

The illusion appeared again, growing denser, blurring the line between falsehood and reality.

That pleasant voice was a strong temptation.

"I..."

In a blur, Lu Yuan once again saw the densely packed crowd.

Glasses clinked, flowers shone brilliantly, and the wonderful music was like a spring breeze caressing the face.

He gritted his teeth and bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, straining every nerve to dispel this snippet of blissful illusion.

The red light on his body flared as he struck down with his sword at the base below the flower bud.

The entire bud wriggled for a few moments, and the petals slowly opened, revealing the Undying Giant Turtle inside.

"It's working!"

But the turtle was already purple, its pupils unfocused, looking like a zombie turtle.

That pleasant voice rang out again: [Even our Cherry Blossom Tree will become part of the god.]

[Do you truly not wish it?]

The Undying Giant Turtle charged at Lu Yuan furiously, "Waga waga!"

The Black Iron Longsword in his hand whistled as it flipped, speedily parrying those sharp teeth.

Lu Yuan's eyes bulged, and his muscles tensed.

The turtle's strength was not small; in fact, it was even greater than Lu Yuan's own.

Finding its mouth thwarted, the Undying Giant Turtle quickly retracted its head, its hind legs pushing off forcefully while its front claws were raised high like a headless tiger pouncing forward!

"What the hell kind of move is that!" Lu Yuan let go of the Black Iron Sword in his hand, dodged to the side, and lifted the shield to smash the turtle's head.

But after lifting for a long time, he couldn't find the turtle's head, so he could only slam the shield heavily on the turtle's leg.

This turtle's way of fighting was too cunning, with its head retracted into the shell, relying only on its claws to slap at people.

"Old Cat, send over the net..."

"Alright! Old Lu, you had a really strange smile just then, I almost opened fire,"

Did I smile?

A chill ran down Lu Yuan's spine, and he held his breath.

"You draw it over!" Old Cat had set up the net shooter, which had a range of only about ten meters — too far, and it would not hit its target.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had his own unspeakable difficulties.

He had to multitask.

On one hand, he had to hold his breath and resist that damn tempting power.

A continuous flow of happiness surged from the bottom of his heart, giving him a lazy feel all over his body.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not crisis, but comfort and laziness.

On the other hand, he had to put in all his effort to capture this zombie turtle alive.

This contradiction made him extremely uncomfortable.

The purple mist in the air grew denser, contaminating Lu Yuan's skin to a certain extent, and the pleasant feeling combined with that pleasant voice made it difficult for him to distinguish between illusion and reality.

[Our sixteen Elders will also become part of the god...]

[Our will won't be lost.]

[Only in the form of spirits will we exist eternally in the world... In the embrace of the gods, we will gain true eternal life.]

This mysterious dialogue had not appeared in the dream before, and it seemed like completely new information.

```

While dazed, the turtle rammed into another bud with him on top, striking it fiercely.

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth, grabbed onto the turtle shell with both hands, and exerted all his strength, flipping himself onto its back.

The next second, man and turtle collided with the flower bud.

Immediately after, he saw the bud they hit slowly open up.

Surprisingly, it wasn't empty inside—a creature was hiding within!

It resembled an elf, a humanoid life form with purple skin, and there wasn't much difference in appearance or attire from those in dreams.

The creature was slowly opening its eyes, but its vacant gaze was identical to that of the Undying Giant Turtle.

"Damn it, one turtle was already tough enough to deal with, and now there's another one."

Lu Yuan became ruthless, slashing his own arm with a knife, the intense pain briefly dispelling the illusion.

He began to unleash his full power!

Miss Conch, standing far away, was torn between wanting to watch the intense scene and being too scared to do so, with the little grass cowering continuously.

She saw Old Cat continuously pressing the cannon's firing button.

"Meow my god, this battle scene is so bizarre," Old Cat muttered to himself.

[I feel the same...]

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan's forehead veins bulged as he took advantage of the attacking turtle, kicking its heavy shell and sending the creature spinning high into the air like a top.

Facing another monster that was still awakening, he was far from courteous, opting for a lightning strike tactic.

He pulled out the dagger from his waist, his wrist powering the throw.

"Die for me!"

A flying knife, glowing red, whistled through the air.

With a loud "snap," the knife instantly hit the monster's head.

Before it could jump out of the flower, its head soared into the air, and a mass of purple-red blood plasma burst from its neck.

The next second, the crazed Undying Giant Turtle charged forward again, slamming into him fiercely.

Lu Yuan, annoyed by the half-ton creature's bump, pulled out a rope midair and shoved it into the turtle's mouth.

The Undying Giant Turtle bit down instinctively.

The vine rope was incredibly tough, getting stuck between its teeth.

Lu Yuan grabbed the rope with both hands, steadying himself back from midair.

The Undying Giant Turtle charged again, trying to bite him.

Its teeth, with Innate Engravings, were exceedingly sharp; Lu Yuan didn't dare to take the blow head-on.

He kicked a corpse of a Green Grass person nearby, sending it into the turtle's mouth.

With its mouth stuffed, the turtle seemed a bit confused, not sure whether to eat or fight first.

Lu Yuan leaped high, landing directly on the turtle's back.

This spot was the turtle's weak point, as its neck, no matter how long, could not reach anything on its back.

So, the Undying Giant Turtle struggled, rolled, and spun in circles instinctively, trying to shake off Lu Yuan.

But this played right into Lu Yuan's trap, and soon the rope tightly bound the frenzied turtle, tying it up.

"Waga!" it roared in anger from its mouth.

Just then, that mysterious voice appeared once again: [Wow, look, there's the Holy Child!]

[...Our Green Grass Civilization's most talented individual for so many years.]

[We were able to create a god, all thanks to the existence of the Holy Child... This is the opportunity granted to us by the Pangu Continent.]

[She was just born a day ago, and already...]

[We don't need to harm other races to create a great god.]

[Do you really not want to join us?]
