I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

There is a limit to human capability.

Only today did Han Zhan finally understand the meaning of these words.

Even with time reversal, even though Han Zhan’s state can always remain at its peak, the mental exhaustion continues to deepen.

To the extent that even retrospect couldn’t dispel it.

At this moment, Nuannuan gave up continuing the Flowing Light and Shadow, and the other Contracted Spirit Girls were each extremely fatigued.

”How many times in total?” Han Zhan asked Li Lingzhen.

Such matters, he had entirely forgotten to keep track of, leaving Li Lingzhen fully responsible.

Fortunately, Li Lingzhen hadn’t forgotten and immediately replied, ”I’m at thirty-five times; others are at thirty-four times.”

According to the effect of [Spring Night], one instance is equivalent to a hundred instances, meaning it’s equivalent to three thousand five hundred times and three thousand four hundred times.

Looking out the window, nearly two days have already passed.

This is after Han Zhan intentionally sped up the process.

”At this pace, in another three to five days, the authority should be refined,” Li Lingzhen said with certainty, touching her small abdomen.

Han Zhan said nothing.

He was already somewhat numb.

For the first time, he felt that contracting so many Contracted Spirits was truly not an easy task.

Luckily, [Spring Night] only consumed energy and stamina and didn’t torment the soul; Han Zhan wasn’t physiologically repulsed by repeatedly doing these things.

Not long after Han Zhan walked out of the room, Dawn Number Three, who had been missing for a day, came rushing in.

”Han Zhan, yesterday’s antique gold coins, are you willing to trade with me? Name your price, and we can...”

”Gone,” Han Zhan sighed, saying.

Interrupted by Han Zhan, Dawn Number Three paused.

He hadn’t caught on yet.

Gone? What was gone?

Oh, it’s the antique gold coins that are gone.

Isn’t it? Gone antique gold coins? So many antique gold coins, at least ten to twenty thousand, how could they be gone just like that?

No, wait, let me think it through... Dawn Number Three recalled yesterday’s message from Dawn Number Two sent back to the organization.

The message said Han Zhan scavenged on the banks of the River of Eternal Darkness and picked up an antique artifact.

If he remembered correctly, it was called [Spring Night], and activating it required a thousand antique gold coins, with the effect of improving life quality.

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Dawn Number Three’s gaze at Han Zhan completely changed.

Even the World Tree hadn’t moved him, yet his expression changed drastically upon facing Han Zhan.

After holding back for a while, Dawn Number Three heavily patted Han Zhan’s shoulder, his tone full of admiration:

”You are the true strong one.”

”Compared to you, we are all just weaklings.”

”Han Zhan, I admire you!”

Han Zhan’s mouth twitched as he pushed Dawn Number Three’s hand away, saying, ”Since you’re here, could you help me once more by fetching some River of Eternal Darkness water? I can pay you some antique gold coins as compensation, how about it?”

”Of course.” Dawn Number Three originally came for antique gold coins and couldn’t possibly refuse.

Thus, both sides reached an agreement.

After repeating the procedure from the day before yesterday, Dawn Number Three received the compensation in the form of antique gold coins he wished for.

And Han Zhan took a deep breath and walked back into the room again!

Three days passed again.

During this period, Dawn Number Three came once and traded again with Han Zhan.

Apart from Dawn Number Three, Dawn Number Four, Dawn Number Five, Dawn Number Six all came once.

Just as Han Zhan suspected, the allure of antique gold coins was immense for the Dawns.

As core members of the Dawn Organization, each of them possessed some antique artifacts, many of which required antique gold coins for activation and awakening.

Antique gold coins were even rarer than antique artifacts, leading them to be stingy and reluctant to use them when dealing with antique artifacts.

A significant reason is because of antique gold coins.

Now, with Dawn Number Three spreading the word, everyone knew Han Zhan had a large number of antique gold coins, and flocking to him for trades was understandable.

In exchange for antique gold coins, several Dawns paid quite a price.

Quite a few useful antique artifacts were traded to Han Zhan.

Although these antique artifacts had limited utility to Han Zhan, they might serve a miraculous effect sometimes.

Even if he didn’t use them himself, they could still benefit Great Xia as a trump card, which was quite good.

Besides, are the Contracted Spirit Girls.

With Han Zhan’s relentless efforts, he finally successfully refined authority.

According to incomplete statistics, the total count was around 110 times, meaning at least 11,000 times under normal circumstances.

But fortunately, it succeeded, and all hardships proved worthwhile.

As a result, Gongyang Jin was the first to transcend and became the first Contracted Spirit to truly enter the Divine Realm.

Divinity is a transcendence of realm, and Gongyang Jin still needs to constantly understand and consolidate the Divine Format.

The other Contracted Spirit Girls also possessed two authorities and completely fused them.

Only one last authority stood between them and breaking through into divinity.

Victory is in sight.

...

The next morning.

Han Zhan rarely slept well,

A voice sounded outside.

It was Dawn Number Two, Big Golden Fur’s voice.

Han Zhan opened the door and saw Big Golden Fur wagging their tail at him.

”You finally came out; staying in the room all day long isn’t good,” Big Golden Fur discreetly reminded.

Not good? Han Zhan glanced at him skeptically.

”That’s right, even my students know, and now you have a new nickname in Pot World,” Big Golden Fur said, adjusting his black-framed glasses.

”What nickname?”

”Nine-Life Duck King!”

”...”

However, seeing the mischievous smirk on Big Golden Fur’s face, Han Zhan confirmed this could never be a nickname widely spread in Pot World.

This must have been circulated by Dawn Number Three within the Dawn Organization.

Back to the topic.

Big Golden Fur’s demeanor turned serious.

”You should be about finished with your matters.”

”Now, we need to talk about a serious issue.”

”A serious issue?” Han Zhan raised his eyebrow, ”Dawn Number One finally wants to talk about serious matters with me?”

Both sides were smart individuals; faced with Han Zhan’s straightforward question, Big Golden Fur no longer concealed and nodded.

”Yes.”

”Dawn Number One asked me to convey a message to you.”

”They said: If you are willing to bet everything, go to the bottom of the Pot World to see them. If not, there’s no need to meet.”

After hearing Big Golden Fur’s words, Han Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Willing to gamble everything?

Dawn Number One’s words were clear,

If he’s willing to gamble everything, they could meet and talk.

If he’s unwilling, there’s nothing to discuss.

This also indicates that their request must be very risky.

But on second thought, wanting to propose demands and negotiate terms with a Creator God-level entity, betting everything doesn’t seem strange.

For Blue Star, no opportunity can be missed.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan’s gaze became resolute.

”Then let’s see.”

”I am willing to bet everything!”
