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

```

Lu Yuan:...

It seems so.

Following that strange sensation, Lu Yuan asked in his mind, "Who are you?"

The voice became excited, with a slight tremble, "Someone really is here!! I... I’m a researcher from the Great Lai Empire!"

"Quickly save me, I have countless knowledge and inheritance, just rescue me, and I can answer all your questions."

Lu Yuan asked cautiously, "What the hell is the Great Lai Empire? Everyone’s dead, why are you still alive?"

The other’s voice seemed somewhat anxious, "I hid in a hibernation tank, escaped the disaster. Now the tank can’t be opened from the inside, it has to be done with outside help, I’ve been trapped inside for a long time."

"I’m not lying, the time ratio here is different from the outside."

"A hundred years outside, only one year here, that’s why I’m still alive!"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, could this be a "Time Cage"?

He carefully sensed the growth rate of the Tree of Life, which was much faster than he expected.

It really seemed to be...

Lu Yuan’s pupils slightly dilated.

A living researcher of the Great Lai Empire!

Although the knowledge one person commands is certainly limited, but it is still a civilization capable of sealing a "ghost," incomparably powerful beyond what lower civilizations could imagine.

It shook him, making him incredulous.

Could his luck really be this good?

"Where are you?"

"Right in the central room... you’ll see the hibernation tank as soon as you enter, then just open it."

Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, his faint, trembling sixth sense growing more intense.

He didn’t head directly for the central room.

Instead, he carefully pushed open a nearby room door.

The door was made of heavy stone, engraved with complex patterns.

"Seems like ’solidity’ type engravings."

The moss and fungi on the floor were distributed in human-like shapes.

As the liquid was far too old, it had completely dried up, the color had seeped into the ground.

"There may have been some unknown event here that caused a large number of individuals to die, blood splattered everywhere," Old Cat observed for a while and evaluated, "Only places splattered with blood would have these fungi and plants growing."

"Don’t know what Epoch they were from, why don’t you ask?"

"Which Epoch are you from?"

"The Seventh... Which Epoch is it now?"

Were the ancestors of the Rize people from the Seventh Epoch?

Lu Yuan didn’t reply to his question but asked instead, "Do you understand engraving knowledge? Can you teach me how to use it?"

"Of course, no problem, I just happened to be a researcher of Engravings."

"But you must have the corresponding engraving talent, or in other words, your Divine Attribute can’t be lower than 12, the higher, the better. Otherwise, even if I want to teach, I can’t."

The voice sounded somewhat exhausted, the throat raspy to the point of almost smoking.

But it did not seem to be a problem.

Ideal Technology, unlike material technology, has its own differences.

Material technology everyone can study, just some people are too slow to learn it.

Ideal technology has high requirements for talents and strength, most people don’t even qualify to research it — mind you, this is just qualification, doesn’t mean one will succeed. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just like the forging of Extraordinary Items, without some talents, one can’t really forge anything good.

"My Divine Attribute is up to the standard," said Lu Yuan, "Teach me now."

"You must physically see the most basic Engraving for me to be able to teach you, I can’t just teach with words alone. It’s like me asking you to imagine a ’Gaba,’ if you’ve never seen a ’Gaba,’ how can you imagine it?"

The voice spoke earnestly and helplessly, "In the central room, there is a [ghost]."

"What?" Lu Yuan was shocked, "Are you trying to kill me?"

The voice said, "Don’t rush, it’s still in a Sealed state, as long as you don’t get too close, there shouldn’t be a problem... be very careful, don’t disturb it!"

```

[If it really broke through the seal, I would have died long ago and certainly wouldn’t be here talking to you. So don’t be afraid!]

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, [Then why are you hiding in the ’Ghost’s room?]

The other party responded, [You really are cautious... Well, there’s nothing wrong with that...]

[Let me tell you, the spacecraft crashed for some unknown reason, and there was a collective rebellion in the Anomaly Laboratory.]

[As for why the spaceship crashed, I’m not sure... I was just on duty here, how could I know what’s happening outside.]

[In that instant, many anomalies broke free from their restraints and escaped. Their combat power is high, if I didn’t hide in the ’Ghost’s room, I would have died.]

[The most dangerous place is the safest, other anomalies don’t dare to enter this room.]

[But I’ve been hiding here, the force emanating from the ’Ghost’ unwittingly damaged the hibernation tank, and I can’t open it. It requires external force to be opened.]

The voice paused, emitting hurried static: [Damn... By communicating with you here, I’ve spoken too much and had some disturbance.]

[Its power is seeping through, please hurry and rescue me!] The last voices became frantic, [Be careful, its ability is related to blood. As long as you don’t have any wounds and aren’t bleeding, it’s not a big problem... after all, it hasn’t escaped its seal...]

[Don’t let yourself bleed...]

[I can’t hold on much longer!]

The other side fell silent.

Several minutes passed, and the odd voice did not rise again.

[Hello? Are you still alive?] Lu Yuan called out several times in succession, but there was no response.

He actually still had many questions.

This stranger, who was originally lying quietly in the hibernation tank, might have been able to hold on a bit longer.

But after speaking a few words with Lu Yuan, he was targeted by the ’Ghost’ in the room.

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of concern; the sealed ’Ghost’ and that drop of blood, the arm from the Seventh Branch, must be the same one.

So powerful it was unfathomable.

A single drop of blood possessed such might, one could only wonder how formidable the entity itself was.

Lu Yuan, as a Level Three life form, might be instantly killed when facing the Ghost.

Should he rescue that person?

He licked his dry lips, hesitating, and discussed it briefly with Old Cat.

"Don’t look at me, I can’t tell if it’s real or fake either," Old Cat’s eyes reflected the glow of fuel, "Risk and reward are always proportional, you decide for yourself."

Lu Yuan took a few deep breaths.

"I never expected the Rize Civilization’s spacecraft to be hiding such outrageous secrets."

"What to do, can I withstand a room with a ’Ghost’ in it?"

"Moreover, even if I manage to rescue the person, we can’t split the reward fifty-fifty... It would be a windfall for the Rize Civilization."

Of course, Lu Yuan was not the type to be overly stingy; he was merely grumbling internally.

He then pushed open several nearby room doors.

The rooms were empty, nothing inside.

Which seemed very strange; even a prison should have some equipment, right?

"Could it be that the rooms for confining anomalies are better off being empty? No need for electric shock devices? A single door is enough to hold them back?"

"Good thing I brought the law enforcement recorder; otherwise, the Rize people might suspect I hoarded the treasure for myself."

Lu Yuan took the Cat’s Eye Stone and shot a few close-ups of the rooms.

He could already imagine the bewildered looks on the faces of the Rize people.

Talk of treasures, where’s the evidence? Nothing at all!

You can’t blame me, Old Lu!

He then carefully inspected the walls around him. There seemed... to be some disorderly combat marks.

Because of the Engravings on the walls, these ochre stones were actually harder than steel.

The marks that were left had to be from an incredibly fierce battle.

"There was a significant commotion."

"Was what he said true..."
