Vera didn't hesitate for too long and soon presented some requirements, asking Lin Qianxuan and Peiya to create miracle artifacts for the Kingdom.
Or rather, they should be called "Holy Artifacts."
Unlike miracle artifacts, they can be used almost without cost.
After proposing the requirements, Lin Qianxuan and Peiya began the creation process.
The appearance of the artifact itself is not important; the key is the conceptual power that grants it the corresponding function.
This time, as Lin Qianxuan and Peiya endowed the artifacts with attributes, they introduced new changes.
It was no longer about directly bestowing based on demand as before.
Rather, they made some restrictions in certain aspects, or changes more aligned with the world's rules.
For example, the attribute function for recovering the user's injuries.
They could add an extra requirement to absorb light energy, store and transform it into healing energy, and then proceed with the recovery.
In this way, this attribute was significantly downgraded from being a purely ex nihilo concept attribute.
But there are benefits to downgrading.
Namely, the healing effect would increase by at least ten times.
Originally, it could at most heal a simple wound, but now it could bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bone.
Even a person on their last breath could be revived.
Through researching those miracle artifacts, Lin Qianxuan's understanding of Dao Fruit became increasingly profound.
While it is indeed boundless, with endless possibilities,
it ultimately remains grounded in the reality of this chaos.
It is merely the embodiment of the Dao in reality and cannot truly be omnipotent.
Before achieving omnipotence, it ultimately requires a fulcrum to leverage this possibility.
Just like his fishing rod, and the game "String of Destiny" itself.
While fishing can indeed draw out myriad possibilities, it requires the act of fishing as the fulcrum, rather than achieving omnipotence out of nothing.
Dao Fruit is merely a key to unlocking infinite possibilities.
When using this key, if one finds a better fulcrum, that is, avoids excessively defying the rules of reality, it can exert even better effects.
The costs of those miracle artifacts are precisely due to this principle.
From a certain perspective, miracle artifacts actually follow the most core conservation law in chaos.
That is, where there is gain, there must be loss.
Hence, their functions are so powerful.
While pondering this, Lin Qianxuan also manipulated the metal bottle in his hand.
[Healing Bottle: A bottle that can continuously pour out universal medicine liquid for healing diseases. [Endless Water][Healing Energy][Transformation] (Note: It can already heal most diseases of the human body.)]
[Endless Water: This bottle can continuously pour out a stream of water.]
[Healing Energy: The water flow inside this bottle will be infused with healing energy, capable of healing injuries and ailments.]
[Transformation: This bottle can convert Abyssal Pearl Energy, light energy, wind energy, human body spiritual power, and Qi and blood into strengthened healing energy.]
The combination of these three attributes significantly enhances the healing capacity of this Holy Artifact, enough to cure all diseases.
Lin Qianxuan took the Healing Bottle to the slaughterhouse and saved a White Dolphin Beast whose head had been chopped off.
Under the nurturing of the Healing Liquid, flesh buds grew rapidly on its neck, and before long, a second head emerged.
However, the new head seemed to lack the original's memories and accumulated experiences from growth, and could only control the body awkwardly as if it were just learning to walk.
From this point of view, it's possible that using a single cell and the Healing Liquid, one could replicate another identical self.
It's slightly subversive to ethics, but that's not Lin Qianxuan's concern.
Among the eight Holy Artifacts, only this one was created through Lin Qianxuan's enchantment, the rest were handed over to Peiya to craft.
Currently, his abilities still fall short compared to Peiya's, so it's better to let Peiya do it.
Moreover, Peiya also needs some practice to learn how to better use her Dao Fruit.
In fact, she did very well, and the delivery of all eight Holy Artifacts went smoothly.
Vera didn't offer any more opinions.
Of course, it might also be because she didn't dare to give more opinions.
Lin Qianxuan and Peiya are not the kind of partners who can be repeatedly tormented.
If they were truly asked to make additional revisions, who knows if they would plant a few pitfalls in them.
The day after the transaction concluded, Lin Qianxuan and Peiya left the Box Kingdom.
Outside the Box Kingdom, Lin Qianxuan once again sensed the information about the box.
[Box Realm: A special box that stores a world. [Box World] (Note: Although the life span of this box is long, it is not immune to decay.)]
[Box World: A small world is stored inside the box, and it continues to operate according to its original rules. (Cost: After the creatures inside the box die, their souls will be consumed by this box.)]
The Box Kingdom isn't an eternal haven either.
It too has its life-span limit.
That's the limit of time the metallic box can exist.
Moreover, after the creatures inside die, their souls will be devoured by the box.
This is the cost of maintaining the operation of that world.
"Mr. Lin..." Peiya looked at Lin Qianxuan and asked, "Where are we going next?"
"The Tower of Truth," Lin Qianxuan replied.
The Tower of Truth is a special organization in the Abyss Ruins.
Its purpose is to research miracle artifacts and the Abyss Ruins.
Among it are beings of Dao Realm and even stronger.
And within it are many miracle artifacts.
In Peiya's Dark Diary, after her long struggles, she was ultimately taken in by the Tower of Truth.
Then the Tower of Truth was destroyed in a disaster caused by miracle artifacts.
```
However, she also made significant progress in the Tower of Truth.
She gained a deeper understanding of her own power, and had preliminary means to counter strange artifacts.
Since Lin Qianxuan had already gone through the strategy guide, he was planning to take Peiya to that place in advance.
He took out a compass from his waist, with a needle precisely pointing in a certain direction.
Yes, this compass has a function that allows it to point towards the place one most desires to go within their heart.
Of course, it has a certain range and is not truly limitless.
It only functions effectively within a range of a hundred thousand kilometers.
In Peiya's chaotic life, it was evident she hadn't traveled as far as a hundred thousand kilometers.
After all, according to the diary description, she probably hadn't reached the Celestial Rank at that time, at most reaching from the Peak at Profound Rank to the Status Level.
With such strength, traveling a hundred thousand kilometers in the Abyss Ruins might not be impossible, but was undoubtedly quite challenging.
"Let's go!"
Lin Qianxuan took Peiya's hand and began to move forward.
"Mm."
Peiya nodded, stepping forward with him.
After walking a distance, she looked back in the direction of the Box Kingdom, with a semblance of nostalgia in her eyes.
She felt a bit reluctant, but the reluctance was for the memories shared with the people beside her, not for that nation's land.
As long as those beside her remained, she had nothing she could not part with.
Turning back, her gaze was filled with determination.
....
They journeyed forward, occasionally battling strange Abyss Beasts they encountered.
Lin Qianxuan had previously created two Iron Beads with flight functions, which allowed them to fly rapidly while holding them.
They flew far without knowing how far they had gone.
This land seemed boundless, and along the way, they witnessed various dangerous and peculiar sceneries.
Mountains, plains, deserts, oceans, seas of lava, thunder pools...
But Lin Qianxuan understood that they were not far from their destination.
About half a month later, they saw a vast city ruin.
The entire city was dominated by skyscrapers, stretching across an estimated range of hundreds of kilometers with a modern architectural style.
Having just experienced the Box Kingdom, both felt a strong sense of discord.
However, nearly all the equipment within was idle.
The roads were filled with dust and dirt, overgrown with various plants, with some Abyss Beasts living among them.
Yet, there was no sign of any humans.
In a place resembling a department store, Lin Qianxuan and Peiya entered, finding some goods inside that were still in fairly good condition.
Lin Qianxuan casually picked up an item resembling a palm-sized mobile phone and obtained its information.
[Peco Underwater Exploration Instrument: An underwater exploration device equipped with a micro-nuclear battery. (Note: It can still be used now.)]
From this item, they could tell that the technological level here was quite advanced.
At that moment, Peiya also picked up a few items, using her Dao Fruit to obtain and comprehend their information.
She looked surprised, seemingly shocked by the functionality of these things.
These tools were not strange artifacts but a pure summary and use of the Heaven and Earth Rules.
Yet, the effects achieved were not necessarily inferior to those of strange artifacts.
Lin Qianxuan conducted further exploration and then found some clues.
It appeared that the people here did not disappear all of a sudden.
They seemed to have vanished collectively only forty-seven years ago.
And the reason for their disappearance was....
Lin Qianxuan's gaze fell upon a still-lit screen.
There, it depicted a world where countless people wore smiles, resembling a Utopian world, with three large words beside it.
Through the enhancement bestowed by the Dao Fruit, Lin Qianxuan easily comprehended the information, understanding that the three words were "Dream Project."
"Dream?"
Lin Qianxuan pondered thoughtfully.
"Peiya, over here."
"Coming!"
The two leapt into the air, swiftly flying towards a certain direction.
It was the very center of the city, and the highest point.
Above the tallest skyscrapers, resting amidst the clouds.
Surrounding it were tracks resembling elevators, with halted vehicles still stuck on them, faint traces of animals and time's marking visible on top.
Following the tracks, Lin Qianxuan and Peiya reached their destination.
A massive metal cube-shaped structure measuring hundreds of kilometers in length and width.
One corner stood at the city's center, as if suspended in mid-air.
Lin Qianxuan could faintly sense the tremendous energy contained within.
"So magnificent!" Peiya exclaimed in awe.
Her small ears perked up, eyes filled with surprise and amazement.
Lin Qianxuan observed briefly, then with a thought, the concise information regarding this structure unfolded before his eyes.
[Dream Stele: A Dream Stele built by the Silo Civilization, embodying the soul of the entire civilization. [Illusion Dream World] (Note: The boundary between false and real may not be distinguishable.)]
[Illusion Dream World: Inside the Dream Stele exists an Illusion Dream World capable of fulfilling all one's fantasies. Upon contact, one can enter this world to live. (Cost: Losing the vessel of reality.)]
