Chapter 1606 The Nine Great Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm

From a rational perspective, it was entirely predictable that one or more of the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm" would be in the hands of "Ka".

After all, the "Nine Treasures" are probably the most precious items in the "Pure Ruins Realm," and Ka is probably the most powerful and influential person in the Pure Ruins Realm.

It is a highly probable and reasonable event that the most precious collectibles are collected by the most influential people.

and so……

Lin Yu had already considered the possibility that he might have the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm" in his possession.

However, the fact that there were actually three of these items displayed in the "museum" was quite unexpected for Lin Yu.

So he looked at Chen Le.

"Are you sure?"

“Of course, I’m very certain that these are the ‘Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm’,” Chen Le said confidently, “and… they must be genuine.”

Hearing Chen Le's confident assessment, Lin Yu naturally believed him.

However, he was actually quite curious.

What is the principle behind your statement?

after all……

Regarding the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins," although it is a well-known title, almost all "players" have heard of these nine items in the Pure Ruins, and if you ask any of the natives of the Pure Ruins, they can usually tell you the legends about these nine treasures.

In the "Pure Ruins Realm," the status of the Nine Treasures is like Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang in "Journey to the West," known to almost everyone.

but……

What's even more similar to the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" is that, in reality, no one has ever actually seen these treasures.

This is why the item "Siren's Blessing" in Kress's possession is so highly valued.

Because it is truly the only one of the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm" whose existence has been confirmed by "players".

The rest... to most 'players,' still seem like an unattainable legend.

Therefore, identifying the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm" is itself a very challenging task.

But clearly, the "fisherman" has his own methods.

Faced with Lin Yu's question, Chen Le naturally had nothing to hide from this fellow member of the "Freedom Alliance."

He looked at Lin Yu and asked directly, "You must have seen information about the 'Nine Treasures' before, right?"

Lin Yu nodded: "I have read it, but apart from the information on [Siren's Blessing], which is more detailed, the rest, including [Naga's Guidance], don't have any particularly specific descriptions."

"Some of them are just vague...unverifiable, untrue or false legends."

On the forum, I did find a lot of legends about the "Ten Realms", and the "Nine Treasures" of the "Pure Ruins Realm" also have many legends that serve as supplementary background information for the world.

First of all, these nine treasures were definitely from before the sinking of the "Mu Continent" and before the destruction of that lost kingdom where all races lived in harmony.

At that time, although everyone was a fellow citizen living together, there was no detailed racial division; they were simply divided into the human race, the tailed race, and the sea race.

However, differences between populations still exist objectively. Although there is no hatred or war between different populations, and they even get along well, their different requirements for objective living conditions have led to the formation of different settlements.

These nine treasures... are said to have been bestowed upon various settlements by the king of the lost kingdom.

Although the Lost Kingdom was united, harmonious, and prosperous at that time, the absence of "man-made disasters" did not mean the absence of "natural disasters"—especially since even before the sinking of the Mu Continent, the Pure Ruins Realm was actually a world with a huge "ocean area".

Even the humans and tailed races living on the continent of Mu primarily rely on fishing for their livelihood.

And the ocean... no matter what, as a living environment, it is extremely unpredictable and prone to various disasters.

Storms, tsunamis, undercurrents, cold currents... and a huge, raging, and irrational sea race.

To protect the kingdom's people from these effects, the king of the lost kingdom prayed to the gods. After receiving divine revelation, he gathered the power of the continent of Mu to build nine large-scale facilities that could be adapted to local conditions and help various settlements solve the natural disasters that posed the greatest threat to them.

Just like those remaining teleportation arrays and the Azure Sky Dome, these facilities are also located in various parts of the ocean and continue to operate and play their role.

And the core of these nine large facilities...

These are the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm"!

Each one is a gift of divine wisdom and grace, and each possesses the profound weight of the entire lost kingdom's power.

And after the continent of Mu sank...

These nine cores were affected by the dramatic changes in the Pure Ruins Realm, and the power they contained, which pointed directly to the origin of the world, was also affected and underwent a transformation.

The facilities that were built were completely destroyed, and these cores were swept away by ocean currents to some unknown place, quietly sleeping and waiting to be discovered again.

These most basic "legendary materials" are compiled from legends passed down by the natives of various races in the Pure Ruins Realm.

Because Kress's acquisition of the "Siren's Blessing" was almost accidental, and he was not the first owner, his experience of obtaining this "item" cannot be used to verify or refute these legends.

The debate on the forum about whether these legends are credible and which ones are credible has never stopped.

And now...

Lin Yu listened to Chen Le's words and seemed to understand something: "So... are those legends true?"

“I can’t judge all of them as true or false, but some of them are indeed true, and that’s how I identify them,” Chen Le said after careful consideration. “And that method of identification is hidden in the legends.”

Lin Yu took a moment to process it, then immediately realized which part of the legend Chen Le was referring to.

"These things... must indeed have been created by the gods, or they must indeed be related to the most fundamental rules and forces of the world, or even the will of the world, right?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

Chen Le nodded: "Yes—and the two points you mentioned are not actually an either/or choice, but both are correct."

"The creation of the 'Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm' definitely involved a god or a being of near-god status, and contains a power that is directly in harmony with the world will of the 'Pure Ruins Realm'."

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu looked at the three exhibits again and silently unleashed his spiritual power.

Although the card is of high status and these three items are very valuable, it seems to be somewhat confident that no one would dare to act recklessly on its territory. Therefore, the card did not set up any security measures in this museum, so that it would not directly trigger any alarm mechanisms because Lin Yu used his mental power to spy on it.

and so……

Lin Yu could use his mental power to perceive the three exhibits in great detail.

After using his mental energy as a medium of perception and changing his perspective, he was naturally able to sense more information than he could perceive with his naked eyes.

such as……

The three exhibits exuded a subtle, yet palpable, aura of "high status."

It was an aura similar to authority, but mixed with other auras, even higher than ordinary authority. And the moment Lin Yu sensed this aura, he immediately had a feeling similar to "intuition," telling him that these three items were very important in the "Pure Ruins Realm."

It was as if the world's will of the Pure Ruins Realm was using this method to declare to him.

Items that meet these conditions...

It seems that there can only be the "Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm".

but……

Although Lin Yu could analyze it this way, he was still curious about Chen Le's reaction just now.

"Even so... we can't rule out the possibility that these three items are not actually the divine artifacts of the 'Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm'?"

“After all… the ‘card’ that built this museum is a genuine ‘chosen one’. It’s not impossible that he created similar objects himself, or even that his god bestowed similar objects upon him,” Lin Yu analyzed. “So… these three items are likely to be of the same standard and rank as the ‘Nine Treasures’, but they are not other new artifacts of the Nine Treasures, are they?”

"Furthermore... because the Pure Ruins Realm once possessed 'Nine Great Treasures' and these nine treasures have very famous legends, the possibility that the gods and chosen ones of this realm would create similar [items], whether for the purpose of being inspired or imitating, is higher than that of the other ten realms."

Lin Yu analyzed the situation methodically.

Although he himself did not think that such a complicated and coincidental event was closer to the truth.

Logically speaking, if these three items that resemble the nine rare treasures appear, it wouldn't be a problem to treat them as rare treasures.

But Lin Yu still asked that question.

Also because...

He was actually testing Chen Le, the "fisherman".

This was not because Chen Le was untrustworthy or deliberately concealed something from her, nor was it because Chen Le still had reservations and was wary of her identity as "Zhu Ming".

Even in a relationship of complete trust, it's perfectly normal for both parties to have things they don't know about each other and find difficult to ask directly.

And just as Lin Yu had predicted...

As expected, Chen Le revealed some information that I didn't know before.

"Well, that's a possibility, but... I'm not certain they're among the 'Nine Treasures' just because these three things feel high-class."

"I say this because...they and the 'Nine Treasures' that I already have give me almost the exact same feeling."

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu showed a surprised expression.

“You… possess the ‘Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm’.”

Seeing Lin Yu's surprised look, Chen Le said helplessly, "What? Although I do tend to procrastinate... it's impossible that I haven't made any progress at all and haven't tried to collect anything for so long!"

“I even have 'two' of them right now!”
