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

Lu Yuan blinked his eyes, looking at the blurred cityscape.

He didn’t possess dream abilities, and the occurrence of Qingming Dreams was actually quite rare for him.

But he knew that dreams also carried risks, and messing around here was pointless, so he could only suppress his curiosity and quietly backed out.

As he exited, the dream grew darker and darker.

The sunlight in the sky, as if blocked by something, turned the dream into a nightmare.

The thick darkness made it hard to breathe, as if one could get lost in it at any moment. Read new chapters at empire

"Can’t be encountering an anomaly," Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, feeling increasingly terrified as he walked.

He began to call out for the Extraordinary Spark in his dream...The power of the Spark was faint, barely noticeable.

He quickly retreated, trying to leave the safe zone.

Something in the darkness was vaguely watching him; the gaze grew colder and colder, as if it intended to devour him.

One lap.

Two laps.

Three laps.

No matter where he walked, he always ended up back at the city square.

Lu Yuan grew nervous, his heartbeat quickening. This sudden nightmare seemed quite formidable.

And dreams, they are unpredictable; his martial prowess meant nothing here.

He walked directly under the statue.

Here, a drawing of an alien with inscrutable text was displayed. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Was it written with chalk?

The face in the drawing had its eyes closed, even covered with both hands, unclear what it was trying to express.

"Damn, just going in circles and something is eyeing me."

"I’ll just wake up directly from Qingming Dreams in the future."

Luckily, Lu Yuan had many tricks. He thought for a moment and mimicked the alien by covering his eyes with his hands...The cold gaze grew increasingly intense.

One, two, three; it seemed like a multitude of eyes were sternly watching him.

He called for the Tree of Life from the bottom of his heart, continuously.

This time, there was finally a response.

A green branch stretched out from somewhere, grabbing his conscious form and yanked it sharply!

"Whoosh!"

This pull broke through the boundary between dreams and reality.

Lu Yuan woke up from the dream.

He touched his forehead, drenched in cold sweat.

"Phew... damn, what was that."

He looked at the time; the sun was setting, and he had slept for over four hours, which was unusually long.

"Did you sense anything... You seemed to be having a nightmare, sweating profusely," Old Cat asked.

Lu Yuan stepped out of the tent, washed his face with cold water, and looked towards the river’s opposite bank, "It’s unclear... But it seems like there really is a safe zone here."

"In the Qingming Dream, I passed through the safe zone and arrived in a city of an alien civilization, seeing various tower-like buildings."

"But the city lacked any life forms, which was very unnerving."

Old Cat shook his head and said, "No life forms are quite normal. You don’t have dream abilities; your Qingming Dream is pretty much a single-player game. Could anyone else come in?"

Only dream abilities can turn a single-player game into a multiplayer game.

Unfortunately, despite possessing many Divine Skills, Lu Yuan had none related to dreams.

Lu Yuan recounted the scene where his dream turned into a nightmare again.

Old Cat paused, "From what you’re saying, there’s a high possibility that the safe zone exists. But there might be a monster here... of course, it might not be an anomaly."

"If it were an anomaly, it wouldn’t let you escape so easily,"

"That’s what I thought too, it feels too much like a false alarm," Lu Yuan said, but he began to consider various combat possibilities.

He wasn’t short of combat methods.

Level Three Extraordinary Spark gave him enough confidence.

And Divine Skills, as his trump card in battle, should preferably not be recklessly exposed.

Therefore, he took some possibly useful items out of his Storage Space in the tent, including the Black Iron Set, enough food and water for half a month, flint, fuel, and more.

And this tent—serving both as a backpack and a tent, was one of Lu Yuan’s proud sewing creations.

The tent’s surface was even lined with a thin layer of Black Iron scales.

Because Black Iron possesses the ability to "Hold Fast" and can block many idealism powers, using the "Storage Space" under the protection of Black Iron affords more privacy.

"35 kilograms of supplies... from now on, I shouldn’t use Storage Space lightly."

With his physical ability, carrying a bit more wasn’t too much for him.

He rearranged the items in the Storage Space.

Including that worn-out Crossbow Cannon!

A gentle pull of the trigger would launch poisoned arrows from the Storage Space, dealing a fierce blow to the enemy!

These items, along with courage and combat skills, provided him with ample confidence.

"I’ve thought of another possibility," Old Cat suddenly said, "It indeed might be an anomaly, but the dream ability of this anomaly might actually be weak."

"But just to be safe, you better not play with Qingming Dreams anymore. No dreams, no harm."

Dream abilities can be very strong, but also very weak.

Weak in that, as long as the opponent doesn’t dream, they are utterly helpless... The Extraordinary Spark can easily burn away a dream.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "Then let’s stay here for 10 days. This arid land is just too vast; I can’t possibly just bypass it. I was supposed to conserve my strength to initiate the next phase of the journey anyway."

"So after 10 days, if this civilization doesn’t contact me, I’ll just leave!"

"You really are a contradictory person," Old Cat said disbelievingly, "After 10 days, you’ll probably give it another 10 days. I’d bet on it."
