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

A few seconds later, Lu Yuan finally rushed into the square paved with white jade.

Here, exquisitely beautiful patterns were carved, from the graceful figures of young girls to the opium poppies, and then to the hunters bending down to shoot their arrows... Outstanding art, just like her elegant figure, was frozen in the historical landscape.

Some machines that used to play music were now covered with rust, lying askew on the ground.

Perhaps because this place was too sacred, and it was the final stage of the Ascension Ceremony, the monsters had left it empty; they were eager to try but dared not delve too deeply into this area.

On the square stood a Green Grass Person very familiar to Lu Yuan.

He was thin and his muscles were stiff, his eyes empty, like those of a mummy.

He was dead.

Dead for many, many years, to the point where even his clothes were in tatters.

But Lu Yuan still recognized this hero.

It was Di, the father of Miss Conch.

"Damn, another obstacle," he cursed.

...

At this moment, Di seemed possessed by something.

A pair of hollow eyes coldly stared at Lu Yuan.

The obsession of the Ascension Ceremony, stemming from the traces of history, coupled with the power of the opium poppies, affected everything around, so much so that even the corpses of the powerful could stir to life.

This was sacrilege.

Lu Yuan, filled with anger, pulled out the Superior dagger at his waist and poised for battle.

[Why did you come... Leave quickly! Once the Ascension Ceremony starts, they will all calm down!]

[They just want to complete the last ritual...]

[They have been waiting for many, many years.]

At last, the voice of Miss Conch reached his ears, carrying a faint worry and soft sobbing.

A golden little flower swayed within the roots of the opium poppy tree amidst the sandstorm.

"Who asked you to be the Savior!" said Lu Yuan coldly, "Do you need to be so meddlesome in these matters?"

[Eh?] Miss Conch was a bit stunned.

Lu Yuan continued, "Are you trying to be the Savior out of your own will, or just looking for an excuse to avoid the cruel reality?"

"Your parents protected you at great lengths, giving you a free life."

"And you choose to come back here, to satisfy these damned, garbage-like evil thoughts?"

[I... If I don't come back, the Sha Li Clan, Chicken Lady, Mr. Lang, they will all die.]

Lu Yuan roared in fury, his face red with anger: "Who the hell needs you to save them!"

"I'm telling you, you should live a good life, not die here senselessly."

"Your parents have sacrificed so much, and if you choose this way, I can't stand it!"

Miss Conch was scolded into a daze.

Who is Miss Conch?

She's just a...

Very, very ordinary person.

Among the many companions in the group, she was the most ordinary of them all!

Her experiences were few.

Even Old Wolf had been through more than she had.

So what about her "Mind Control" ability?

She was the least mind-controlling member of the team!

She was born without a physical body, only able to hide within the Soul Gem, and managed to gain a bit of mobility relying on a few blades of grass.

Can't eat food, can't smell scents, has no sense of touch, and can't even move!

She spent her life hiding in a Shell, even more miserable than Old Cat.

Didn't want to take up too much space, just squatting at the edge of a tricycle, occupying a small corner.

Well, surviving was enough.

People like her, timid in nature, never thought about harming others nor vying for benefits.

Lu Yuan teasing her was like picking on a tuft of cotton.

The Undying Giant Turtle bullying her could only get bland responses.

Was she not angry?

She lacked self-confidence in her heart.

Too kind-hearted, she didn't know how to bully others.

Subconsciously, she felt her existence lacked meaning.

Just a burden.

Only by helping others did she feel somewhat significant.

When Chicken Snake was about to be eaten by Lu Yuan,

she would come forward to say a few good words, persuading Lu Yuan not to eat it but to keep it alive.

If Old Wolf was scolded, she would also come to offer some kind words, comforting "Mr. Lang."

Even if an ant was about to be stepped on, she had to murmur a few words to console "Mr. Ant."

Honestly, having someone with a kind heart in the team was good.

The mental illness level in the team dropped several notches.

If the "Raise a Mouse Plan" were done again, Miss Conch could surely raise the mice to be plump and healthy, while the others... might be able to keep them alive for a day or two.

But now, the one with a kind heart, the one with the saddest story, wanted to sacrifice herself.

"Wa-ga-ga!" the Undying Giant Turtle roared from behind, infuriated at this moment.

"Mr. Turtle will eat you all!" it bellowed.

Old Cat was also enraged, constantly firing and even throwing gasoline to set fire.

Its Small high gun was quickly dismantled by the monsters.

But it continued to run and struggle.

Dark smoke spread through the air...

Indeed.

The world shouldn't be like this.

We, who are evil, chaotic, struggling in the mortal world, having lost the innocence of childhood, isn't it for... a bit of simple goodness?

You, with your kind heart, should hide well, stay hidden, keep quiet, and not make a sound!

"Your dad said, be yourself!"

"You don't owe this world; you are the daughter of heroes, you don't owe anyone!"

"I don't want to owe you my life; no one wants your salvation!"

"Look at your father, he will definitely lose to me... and let me save you from this damned place!"

"Come on, let me show you how your dad lost to me!"

On the surface, Lu Yuan was like a tiger gone mad, but beneath the surface, he was cool-headed.

He didn't want to chop Miss Conch's father to mincemeat; instead, he threw away the Dagger and with his fingers turned into claws, he ferociously reached for Di's chest.
