Chapter 104: Wealth from the Dead

While Daxian and the others frantically searched the surrounding waters for the opportunist, Chen Xiao had already arrived in the Thousand Souls Realm. It was still that island—lush and green, though devoid of any living creatures, which didn’t matter much. The island had experienced a terrible battle before, with nearly half of its area destroyed, but green plants were already beginning to grow back in those ruined areas.
“A zone evolving into a sunny area… If it truly becomes one, there might not just be plants; various other creatures will likely gather as well.”
Apart from the lack of sunlight, this world of supernatural abilities was not much different from Earth. Besides fierce beasts and evil spirits, there were other creatures as well. Yet, their habitats were all occupied by those beasts and spirits.
Chen Xiao looked up and saw, on the other side of the island, two giant Ye Dragon beasts—one green and one blue—lazily lying on the beach, dozing off. Suddenly, they both raised their massive heads and stared in Chen Xiao’s direction. When they saw him, they nodded simultaneously, then opened their huge mouths, revealing an eerily human-like expression… smiling.
Chen Xiao felt dizzy. Did these beasts also possess intelligence? Subconsciously, he too forced a stiff smile. The two Ye Dragons nodded at him again before lowering their heads back to the sand.
“It seems these two giants really consider me one of their own.” Chen Xiao let out a long sigh. Though beasts were extremely dangerous in the eyes of supernatural beings, once they accepted someone, it was a genuine acceptance. After all, in the world of beasts, things weren’t as complicated as in the human world—friendship meant friendship, enmity meant enmity, and everything else was either food or prey.
Seeing the two Ye Dragons lie down again, Chen Xiao instantly connected his mental energy to the Main God’s Space. The next moment, he entered it.
“Chen Xiao, I must say, you’ve made a fortune this time.” As soon as he entered the Main God’s Space, Shui Miao came to his side. She extended her hand and handed him a three-zhang-long blue crystal card—the ability cards of those three super-powered supernatural beings from the United States. Their bodies had long been stripped of their life essence by Shui Miao, which had been used to nourish the Xuanwu Egg.
Ability cards served not only as keys for supernatural beings to enter the world of supernatural abilities but also as storage spaces for their important belongings. Usually, anything crucial to a supernatural being would be kept in such cards.
However, ability cards were closely tied to their owners. Once a supernatural being died, the card would turn into a dead card, and its contents would be difficult to retrieve unless special methods were used, such as catalysis by a supernatural crystal.
Thus, in the world of supernatural abilities, it was rare for someone to kill a supernatural being and steal their ability card. Even if an ordinary supernatural being obtained a dead card, it was useless—they wouldn’t dare use it, as retaliation from the deceased’s relatives and friends could be severe.

Those who have the ability to use supernatural crystals are all regional rulers; they surely look down on such trivial wealth. As for those with supernatural cards containing ample wealth, they are all powerful figures. No major faction would want to engage in such actions that would bring them shame and offend others.

For Shui Miao, the space within the supernatural cards of these three super-tier supernatural users posed no problem at all.

“These three space crystal cards have already been activated by me. As long as you infuse your mental energy into them and leave an imprint, you can claim them as your own,” Shui Miao said calmly as he handed the cards to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took them and examined them carefully. The original owners of these cards were dead, and aside from their original colors remaining unchanged, the cards had returned to their original state, showing no distinctive features.

Chen Xiao picked one out and slowly infused his mental energy into it. The next moment, his heart seemed to slow down.

It was an incredibly vast space, about the size of three or four football fields, filled with countless purple star coins—too many to count. If star coins the size of one-yuan coins filled three or four football fields, just how many would there be?

Chen Xiao didn’t know, but he knew one thing: he had become wealthy. Just this one card contained so many star coins—how much more could there be in the three cards?

Moreover, besides the star coins, there were also various other treasures whose names Chen Xiao couldn’t even identify.

Chen Xiao slowly exhaled and directed his mental energy toward the area where the supernatural transmission arrays were engraved. He found that this card had eighteen such arrays, none of which he knew led to any particular place.

Then, Chen Xiao’s mental energy moved toward the core of the supernatural card. There, at the core of the entire card, was a miniature supernatural crystal that provided energy for the transmission arrays and also communicated with the original crystal to draw energy.

Chen Xiao’s mental energy surged into that tiny crystal instantly. In an instant, the crystal was conquered by his formidable mental power. The entire card emitted a hazy glow before turning black.

Now, all the wealth within those cards belonged to Chen Xiao. Without hesitation, he made the other two cards his as well.

The wealth in these three cards—just counting the countless star coins—was likely worth hundreds of millions. Add in the other priceless treasures, and Chen Xiao felt as if he were a nouveau riche.

Although the Main God’s Space also contained countless treasures, they were all under Shui Miao’s control. Without sufficient strength, Chen Xiao couldn’t even see them.

But now, Chen Xiao truly saw countless treasures. His soul had already begun to merge with the Main God’s essence, making him calm and composed. Though filled with enthusiasm, he hadn’t lost himself.

These star coins might not be of much use to Chen Xiao personally, but they were crucial for the development of his Black Tiger Gate faction. With these coins, he could accelerate the growth of his forces.

From Chen Jianzhou’s few words, Chen Xiao had already realized that the enemies of his grandfather, as well as information about his parents, were all closely related to one or several powerful forces. Moreover, the Thousand Souls Domain he currently possessed would eventually evolve into a Sunshine Zone, at which point all supernatural forces would covet it. Having witnessed the strength of the Soul of China, he understood that relying solely on the two Ye Dragons would not be enough to defend this place. With all this in mind, Chen Xiao could only strive to develop his own forces and increase his strength so that he could gain an advantage in the future.
