Chapter 580: Too Much Treasure, Can't Carry It All_2
"The second conclusion: triggering multiple alternative spaces comes with substantial consumption. However, this consumption decreases as the alternative space persists over time."
"For example, a large alternative space consumes 100 spirit essence in the first year, possibly only needing 50 spirit essence in the second year, decreasing to 1 spirit essence by the hundredth year, and merely 0.1 spirit essence by the thousandth year."
This is because the ability of multiple alternative spaces must counter the inherent physical laws. It's like a spring which slackens over time, eventually losing its tension completely.
This also explains why creatures of anomaly, such as [Monster], are reluctant to change locations.
Because moving costs them more spirit essence.
"How powerful is the myth of [Monster]? A multiple alternative space can encompass a diameter of 300,000 kilometers, capable of swallowing the entire Northern Territory."
"And with the space jump functionality of [Noah's Ark]... Tsk, this civilization is so powerful yet so adept at escape, truly a model for us to learn from."
The myth of [Monster] is now dead, its might significantly reduced. Lu Yuan estimated that a multiple alternative space that could swallow Sky City might consume about 120 spirit essence per year.
That's a rather low consumption.
"Using spirit essence can only support a multiple alternative space with a 1,000-kilometer diameter."
"To achieve a larger space, civilization points must be spent."
Of course, aside from the ability of "multiple alternative spaces," the myth of [Monster] possesses two powerful attack abilities, space cutting and spiritual spike!
Lu Yuan eagerly experimented for a while and frustratingly found that the ability of "space cutting" seems to be somewhat difficult.
After all, this giant eyeball has been dead for five epochs, and the power reserved in a corpse is quite limited.
Moreover, the current computational power is severely lacking, and [Monster] doesn't have servant human computers, relying entirely on Lu Yuan, the Great Spirit Rhythmer, which is quite strenuous.
"If I forcefully use space cutting, it would instantly drain all my spiritual power."
That would be the spiritual power of the Greedy Demon God, not Lu Yuan's own!
However, "spiritual spike" can be used passably, but this ability only deals with ordinary enemies.
Natural disasters at the [Ghost] level have no soul, making spiritual attacks ineffective.
Besides, the giant eyeball has some minor functionalities: dream energy collection, telepathy, instant movement, etc., all of which are supplementary abilities of the multiple alternative spaces.
After exploring this information, Lu Yuan slowly detached his consciousness from the giant eyeball, his perspective returned to normal, he exhaled gently, and rubbed his eyes vigorously: "I am ultimately not [Monster], this high-dimensional perspective is too uncomfortable."
Then, he picked up the "Time Relic," an item at the "Immortal Level+++", reaching the limit of natural materials, even more wondrous than the mythical eyeball!
This thing is very thin and completely transparent, covering an area of about 150 square meters, quite large.
However, regarding materials with the "time attribute," Lu Yuan truly could not grasp its essence, pondering for half a day only to discover the "long-term item preservation" function.
The real aspect of time law contained within, has yet to be fully activated.
He dared not recklessly experiment; this material is too precious. Even cutting off a piece at random might damage its original quality.
Falling from the Immortal Level to the Epic Level is not impossible!
Finally, he sighed deeply: "At least minor level inspiration is needed to begin understanding... Inspiration is truly lacking!"
Lu Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then placed the "Time Relic" back precisely on the "mythical eyeball."
He wandered around several times; the precious treasures were just these two items, the rest were at most legendary level, the building materials of the palace.
"Lu Yuan, oh Lu Yuan, when did you become so greedy that you can't even look at legendary items?!"
He secretly admonished himself: "Even if it's inferior grade ore slag, we must pick up the trash."
Yet the problem arose again, how to transport this palace?
His storage space volume is only a few hundred cubic meters, barely fitting half a tentacle of the mythical corpse.
Even if the Greedy Demon God went all out, expanding to the maximum, he couldn't move this one kilometer long, five hundred meter wide palace.
"Can't possibly dismantle it to transport piece by piece, right? No, the palace's forging skill differs from modern techniques. Perhaps some hidden mysteries remain; I... cannot bear it."
Furthermore, Lu Yuan genuinely loves this luxurious colossal palace.
In both scale and opulence, it matches him as the Greedy Emperor.
After a lifetime of striving, why not enjoy it well?
He currently lacks no money, mining yields endless spirit essence.
"Tearing down this palace would be a colossal waste."
"Calm down, calm down!" Lu Yuan admonished himself silently, not letting wealth corrupt his mind.
"Leave it here, retrieve it when capable?"
"But what if someone discovers it here, I'd be too late to cry. There's a possibility for small probability events to occur."
Having a mountain of treasure yet unable to transport it is an utterly terrible feeling!
Lu Yuan scratched his head, deeply pondering, leaning against the palace walls, stroking the patterns. He felt exactly like Grang Tai from the textbook, rubbing the patterns engraved on the gold coin repeatedly, feeling their cold touch, as if only this way could give him a sense of reassurance.
Suddenly, he thought of a brilliant idea.
