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

Utilizing his regeneration ability, a hundred days later, he was a new man again.

This change in mentality gave him a significant increase in momentum.

The feeling of having a logistics team was truly great!

It was also on this day that suddenly, from the outside came a "boom" like a high explosive bomb detonating right next to one's ear, the whole world shaking slightly.

Lu Yuan hurriedly ran to the door and saw smoke swirling around, the mother bear lying on its back on the ground.

A strange black light appeared at the stove.

Even though he prided himself as a seasoned warrior, his sixth sense became abruptly pronounced, as if an earth-shattering event was about to happen.

"What happened?"

The gender-neutral electronic voice of Cat Garbage seemed somewhat crazed, "Today... it's today!! The gemstone has cracked! Comrade, we are about to succeed!"

"Hurry, hurry, kill this cunning demon! It's fighting back at the last moment! Use your Extraordinary Spark!"

The robot shaped like Old Cat, in its excitement, began to lose parts crazily once again.

Nothing lasts forever and nothing is eternal.

Through continuous "Ice and Fire", coupled with the crazy hammering by a powerfully strong bear, the black gem naturally showed wear and tear, and finally today, a tiny crack appeared on the gemstone!

This battle robot, Old Cat, really had it tough.

Having possessed the "demon" for countless years, having witnessed who knows how much, and almost all memories lost, it finally saw the first light of dawn...

From this angle, it indeed had a much harder time than Old Lu.

It kept rolling on the ground, screaming, as if it had gone mad.

Lu Yuan's heart also thumped heavily a few times, and he leaped from the doorway with a roar.

"Die!!"

He charged toward the black gemstone with the speed of flight.

Indeed, the demon was putting up its last resistance, but the black light kept spilling out.

"Light Screen"!

This time, the gap between friend and foe was reversed.

Lu Yuan's Extraordinary Fire kept invading unceasingly, and the peculiar black light retreated bit by bit.

The cracks on the gemstone grew more and more.

Then, Lu Yuan picked up a hammer, and with a heavy strike!

"Zila!"

That strike elicited a shower of electric sparks!

He heard a clear sound like glass shattering!

It was somewhat pleasant to the ear and filled him with exhilaration.

In that instant, the black gem was smashed into powder.

The rich black light vanished.

This signified the nearly a hundred days and nights of hard work by the mother bear and also meant that the journey of Cat Comrade, which lasted for countless years, came to a temporary close...

The old machine Cat suddenly emitted a bitter "meow!!"

The sharpness of that sound, the complexity of the emotions, a mix of all flavors—bitter, sour, spicy, salty—finally turned into a hint of sweetness.

"We won..."

Only the core little round ball remained, ticking away rhythmically.

It might have wanted to lament over its difficult life.

But then it remembered it was just a robot and seemed to think there was no need for such emotions...

It also felt like its purpose of existence had been fulfilled?

It was created simply to kill this "demon", after all.

Does its civilization... still exist?

It didn't know.

Where should it go now?

Its mission was accomplished, and it could now follow along.

It might be the last remnant of its civilization.

"Is it dead? Hey, is it dead? My goodness, we can't let the powder scatter!" Lu Yuan held his hammer, the recoil numbing his arm.

Old Cat's core metal ball hopped around before connecting to the horn again, and the parts were absorbed back in: "Confirmed dead... My adsorption ability, can't find a target. It's dead, it's finally dead!"

"Comrade, we've really killed it... This is one of the Catastrophes."

"It's dead! My highest task has been achieved, it's dead, meow!!"

Lu Yuan was deeply moved as well, seeing the machine cat rolling around on the ground, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He brightened his eyes, searching for the black gemstone powder that had escaped from the box.

[Remains of the Shadow Illuminating Demon identified, possessing abilities: Field·Attribute Absorption, Dark Instantaneous Movement, Shadow Hand, Possession Rebirth, Spirit Tremor.]

[Consuming these remains will grant you these 5 Divine Skills directly.]

[However, your ideology will be influenced by it, and you will have to struggle against it for life, until the day you are devoured by the Demon.]

[Note: Once a "Shadow Illumination" is born, all other remains will become invalid, there can only be one "Shadow Illumination" in the world.]

Well, the value of this thing...

Eating it will grant me 5 Divine Skills!

5 of them!

That's a lot indeed.

But the side effects are unbearable... at least for the current Lu Yuan, he isn't tempted yet, he himself has 6 Divine Skills!

He pushed his eyes to their limits and searched the surrounding ground thoroughly... okay, it was actually fine, his preparation work was not bad, not much powder had escaped.

But he said arrogantly, "Comrade, don't look so surprised."

"In my life, it's just a bit of hardship!"

In excitement, he picked up the machine cat and ruthlessly stroked it twice, the rusty iron scraping painfully against his palm.

"Lu Yuan, I acknowledge that you are a powerful warrior," the cat began to twist and unusually praised him a few sentences.

"I acknowledge that the civilization that created you is a great civilization!" Lu Yuan followed with some polite remarks.

Commercial flattery.

Mutual credit boosting.

Just in the next instant, the sky changed color, and a huge black vortex appeared above the dome!

"Boom!"

The sound of the wind, rain, and lightning suddenly poured down.

The falling rain brought thousands of ripples, and also stirred various sounds: trees, gravel, insects, animals, birds, bushes, countless forms of life responded to this sudden downpour.

Lu Yuan quickly took shelter under the eaves to avoid the rain.

He blinked and felt a bit of a scare, fortunately, he had collected the black gemstone fragments in time, otherwise, if blown away by the wind and rain, who knows where they would have ended up.

"Old Cat, do you know what a 'God' is?"

"God is a religious term. Many civilizations have this term, to place their fragile souls in. Isn't that right?" Old Cat replied seriously, "The more backward the civilization, the more they worship non-existent gods."

"Okay, I'll show you what a god is."

At that instant, a bolt of lightning landed before Lu Yuan; the intense high voltage stood his hair on end like the spikes of a hedgehog.

A faint murmur appeared in his mind.

[You have completed a Unique Milestone: (*...*%??)]

[Your civilization has received a Unique Milestone Points reward: 5000 points. (This feature is not yet activated)]

This voice was so soft, barely audible.

There were no fancy judgment statements, it went straigh to the last line.

Lu Yuan blinked, feeling a heat on his forehead.

He quietly lamented, life's loneliness is truly unmatched.

"Could it be that this extremely difficult Milestone was completed too soon..."

"Causing the judgment statements to be unfinished by the time the Milestone was completed?"

Killing a Demon is an extremely difficult task, likely to be a Milestone that could only be triggered in the late stages of the Ninth Epoch.

First, the number of these Demons should not be too many, otherwise, the ecology of this world would have already been destroyed.

The one Lu Yuan encountered was an example of extreme misfortune.

These Catastrophe Level monsters should mostly still be asleep... The one near the Meida Civilization probably woke up due to sensing the presence of the Lu Yuan civilization (Human 18th Civilization).

Lastly, the fact that he actually managed to kill it!

The combination of these three factors led to a mid-to-late stage Milestone being inexplicably completed in the early stages.
