”Do your era still have the technology to create underground mazes?”

Yang Yu didn’t dwell on how Clochi had managed to stand here again and simply struck up a conversation with him naturally.

Clochi seemed to appreciate Yang Yu’s approach and answered,

”Underground mazes have always been an extremely mysterious existence.

As far as I know, the technology to create underground mazes should have been lost thousands of years ago.

Lux must have also gone through a magnificent adventure to be able to build such a grand underground maze.”

Was it already lost thousands of years ago?

Yang Yu raised his hand and pinched his forehead,

”I remember you mentioned before that the Demon Clan would occasionally friction over the underground mazes owned by their families.

Then, on the side of the Demon Clan, did the technology for building underground mazes disappear?”

”This, I do not know, I haven’t particularly looked into it.

During the time I lived in the Demon World, I mostly skimmed the surface.

Speaking of which, I saw other humans there...

He was writing and drawing with pen and paper, very interested in everything around him, and was followed by a particularly distinctive member of the Demon Clan...

Although I heard it inadvertently, he seemed to want to publish a book to tell humans what the Demon World looks like.

If we could find his work...”

At this point, Clochi stopped abruptly, crossed his arms, and gave a wry, helpless smile,

”It won’t be that smooth... If it really got written, it probably wouldn’t get published.

Ah, I always feel like once we start talking, it never ends.

I almost forgot what we were originally doing.”

Clochi faced the Demon God Statue, now reduced to rubble, interlocked his fingers, and stretched them forward.

The Demon God Statue, turned to rubble, emitted a dazzling red light and then the rubble started to collapse into white sand.

Hidden among this sand were four consistently-sized blue spheres, which, encircled by the sand, soared into the sky.

A sandstorm spun around them as the spheres greedily absorbed the red magic power from the surrounding sand, turning the magic power into the same blue as the spheres.

Clochi separated his fist and palm, and the four spheres merged into one, flying into the palm of his hand and transformed into a cyan-blue crystal stone.

”For you.”

Taking the crystal stone from Clochi’s hand, Yang Yu’s panel immediately popped up the information about this stone.

[Qi Li Ore

Legendary Quality

This is a strange stone with mysterious power that can subtly change a person’s constitution and stimulate their potential.

When carried, Strength increases by 1 point every 30 hours, (regardless of how many stones one owns, the maximum attribute growth is capped at Level X10)

When crafted into equipment, it retains its original growth effect while additionally giving +100 Strength and +10% Strength.]

Yang Yu found it hard to evaluate this strange crystal stone

Even though it was just a material, it could subtly change a person’s attributes.

Unfortunately, it only increases Strength by 1 point every 30 hours, adding up to only about 24~25 points per month.

Yang Yu’s current level is 106, allowing for a maximum of 1060 strength attribute points.

It would take three to four years to maximize.

This thing perfectly fits the theme of the Ninth Floor—if you’re seeking strength, you must take it slowly.

For those who ventured the ”Hall of Power” solely for strength, this was devastating news.

After all the hard work, to receive this thing, they would definitely faint in despair in the bathroom.

So much for ultimate strength, it all seemed deceptive.

And who knows if there are stones that could increase other attributes...

If there were stones that could boost various attributes, just a few would help both himself and his companions grow stronger while afk.

Of course, that’s just a nice thought.

A whole Lux maze only produced this tiny piece of Qi Li Ore;n it’s probable that even stripping the Lux maze bare wouldn’t yield much.

”Take good care of this thing.

”Just by having it with you, you would continually be inspired to unlock your potential and become stronger.

The only drawback is that the speed at which you become stronger is somewhat slow.

The good news, however, is that if it has no effect on you anymore, you can pass it on to your other companions and make them stronger as well.

This thing wasn’t made into equipment, so you can shape it however you like.”

”You could turn it into armor or a necklace or something?”

”Of course.

But keep in mind, if you want to break it into smaller pieces, their individual effects will also diminish, just like potions.

Sometimes, if there’s a bit less of a potion, the corresponding healing effect is slightly reduced.

It might not save your life.”

After thinking for a moment, Clochi continued:

”Proper maintenance is also crucial.

I’ve heard that these stones will eventually lose their effectiveness one day.

However, if you regularly infuse it with magic power, it seems that the time until they lose their effect can be delayed.

I’m talking about after it is made into equipment.

If kept in its original form, even without magic maintenance, this stone should still last for tens of thousands of years.

In your hands, this object might even be passed down to your next generation.

If it keeps its activity and doesn’t decay, it will certainly bless your descendants.”

Hearing Clochi say this, Yang Yu took another careful look at the blue crystal stone in his hand.

”Will the effects of this stone also disappear?”

”Of course, just like the magic in this world.

For some unknown reason, in the absence of external interference, the magic power of this world is always decaying, and no one can change that...

The only method in this world to replenish magic power...”

Clochi hesitated, and Yang Yu finished his sentence for him.

”Is it by opening the Gate of Demon World?

After the Gate of Demon World opens, there are numerous records of native demons rioting.

Is it because they were influenced by the sudden influx of magic power that they began to riot on a large scale?”

Clochi nodded,

”Remember, I’m talking about the decay of magic power, not the decay of magic.

To use boiling water as an analogy, magic power is the fuel, and magic is the method of boiling the water.

People always find ways to boil water.

But without fuel, even a skillful cook cannot prepare a meal.

When the day comes that the fuel has burned out, this magic world will also collapse by itself.”

”From this perspective, the invasion of the Demon King has, ironically, helped sustain this magic world.”

”Perhaps so.”

Clochi spread his hands, indicating it was time to wrap up,

”We’ve started chatting again. These aren’t secrets; you’re smart enough not to need me to spell things out.

When the Gate of Demon World opens again, you’ll experience it firsthand.

Since you’ve already taken the treasure box from defeating me, it’s about time you left.”

Faced with such a knowledgeable Maze Guardian, Yang Yu was naturally unwilling to let the chance slip away.

”Come on, brother.

Look, aren’t we having a great conversation?

After the duel, I feel a sense of kinship with you.

Let’s just sit down casually and chat.

You must also want to know what kind of companion Lux has found, right?”

Clochi narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin, unmoved,

”If you don’t leave now, I’ll have to resort to some harsh measures and forcibly eject you from the labyrinth.”
