Demon Lord 3

After traversing the gold-paved path, we arrived at a flat dirt road. Finally, the restlessness we felt earlier subsided. That stretch of road had been designed to arouse restlessness and fuel desire. If desire overcame reason, one would pick up gold, only to find oneself unable to carry it all, ultimately dying forever in this cave. Therefore, this place was meant to test one's character; the greedy would never find a way back. Seeing that there was no light ahead, our spirits darkened. Suddenly, Lin Zhenfei spotted a cluster of tombs: "My God! This must be man-made, not natural. Look over there, there are tombs. Who is buried in them?" Everyone rushed over, their spirits high. They all gathered there, hesitant to move, fearing traps nearby. Wu Luanshen told us not to move and to retreat quickly, and everyone obeyed. Lin Zhenfei, however, was skeptical and stepped forward: "That's not necessarily true. There might be..." "Danger. Our greedy desires have already been tested. Three strikes and you're out. We've encountered too many dangers; it's time for a reward. This is where we'll be rewarded. When I was with my master, he taught me that in this kind of situation, there shouldn't be anything inside the tomb. Let's learn about the lives of the people inside, and who they were. Paying respects and taking a few things is fine; their burial goods are on their person. These things outside might be treasures for us." There was no gold or silver treasure outside, just a few strange ornaments. Hearing him say it was my father who taught him, I didn't question it. I walked a few steps over and looked around for any records. Zhou Chuyuan took a yellowed book and handed it to Zhou Chuxing. Zhou Chuxing had learned these strange characters from her grandfather since childhood and was also familiar with other types of writing. She understood it at a glance: "Let me explain the meaning of this to everyone. It's roughly about..." "In ancient times, several true gods lived here, and their burial goods are all in their coffins. This tomb wasn't their first one; it was placed here by later generations. It's like a new tomb chosen at a specific time and place. The previous tombs might have been robbed, or some other accident might have occurred, and a new tomb appeared later. The things outside are props for us; we can take them all for future use." At this point, we all encountered a problem. Carrying all those things would be difficult—they were numerous and heavy, and there were many irregularly shaped blocks. Wu Luansen pointed to one and said, "It looks like a seven-star alignment. Does anyone have a good idea?" I thought of Doraemon's pocket. If only we had a big pocket, we could put anything we wanted into it! Zhou Chuyuan had a sudden inspiration: "Do you all remember our adventure before going to the small world?" "Huh? Didn't we have a dimensional space back then? It was like a place to store our weapons. If we work together to summon that dimensional space, we can take all these things with us." Lin Zhenfei stood up and voiced his objection: "Our previous exploration was designed in advance. That kind of space can be used normally in the designed world, which is the world of consciousness. But we are in the real world now, and it's very difficult to use it. We can't summon it together; we can only create one." We also defined that kind of thing as a storage space. Through our unremitting efforts, we created a simple storage space, which we created ourselves. It's barely enough to put these things in. There's no infinite space; we just created a storage space within a limited space without much effort. It's like sewing ourselves a backpack, but this backpack doesn't take up much space, and we don't have to carry it. Suddenly, I realized that I was not capable at all, and that I was far inferior to my parents' generation. They could easily create a storage space to put all our things in, and they could also create a world. But we humans can only create simple storage spaces, which are far from enough to meet our current needs. We are working hard enough, but we still can't keep up with the monsters we encounter. We always thought that by leveling up and fighting monsters, we could overpower our opponents. But what we didn't get was that we were the weaker party. We couldn't protect the people we should protect, and in the end, we were attacked from all sides.
