A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

Continuing deeper into the volcano, a magma giant then appears.

However, the newly appeared magma giant is inferior to the previous magma giant in terms of both the light and heat emanating from its body and its attribute list.

Nie Wan initially tried to tame or tear them apart with the help of the flame patterns.

The further they went, the more unrestrained they became. Without the golden light binding them, they relied solely on their doubled attribute values ​​to roam freely across the giant's vast body, delivering critical hits with every punch or thrust of their sword.

As Nie Wan stabbed the giant with the Green Serpent Sword, she gradually sensed the indomitable spirit that Yi Yuehan had cultivated.

Although she didn't have the minimalist sword skills of Yi Yuehan and Xun Ying, her proficiency in the two sword skills, Wanli Xifeng Yijian Han and Jian Hui Xingdou, skyrocketed under her practice, showing signs of transformation.

The only drawback is that these giants are quite intelligent. When their health drops below 20%, they don't go berserk. Instead, they turn around and jump into the sea of ​​lava, disappearing in a flash.

This prevented Nie Wan from experiencing the thrill of chasing down and killing the enemy, making it somewhat less satisfying.

However, this is actually a good thing.

She said to He Chang, "You can use a teleportation stone to mark this place. When another player under your command inherits Hephaestus's legacy, you can bring him here to level up and collect pets."

As long as the magma is exhausted, the magma giant will not completely dissipate.

What Nie Wan needed were fragments of Hephaestus' old hammer, but after collecting four fragments, there was still a large amount of molten iron from the hammer flowing in the lava.

The remaining magma giants are still powerful and exquisite monsters. They will regenerate after being captured, making it an inexhaustible pet-collecting paradise.

Before Lan Xiangyuan can master carpentry to the Spirit Treasure level and fully realize the dream of one person per wooden sheep mount in the Cold Moon Immortal Palace, the Xiluo District will first realize the dream of one person per lava giant pet.

Nie Wan could already imagine what kind of trouble Lan Xiangyuan would cause after she told him about it.

He Chang was not as optimistic as Nie Wan.

"Let's wait until they appear. These pets aren't so easy to take in. Players below the 'excellent' level shouldn't even think about it."

As the words were spoken, an enormous giant emerged from the bubbling lava and staggered toward the volcanic rock wall.

"This one is about the same size as the previous one, and it probably has fragments too!"

He Chang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said.

Nie Wan didn't need her reminder at all; she had already taken the initiative to fly towards the giant while stepping on the Green Serpent Sword.

He quickly subdued the giant, retrieved the hammer fragment from its heart, and flew back to the narrow path on the rock wall, as fast as a firefly whose form was indistinct.

The giant hadn't even reacted yet, his thick arm still maintaining the momentum of his punch.

After Nie Wan finished her routine, the giant blinked its two black, hollow eyes in a daze, looked around, then looked down with difficulty at the hole in its chest. Belatedly, it raised its hand to cover the hole and slowly sank into the lava.

"She's quite adorable," He Chang commented, then looked at the fragment in Nie Wan's hand.

After the two fragments merged, the basic shape of a hammer handle was already formed.

All the information remains unchanged, except that the success rate has been changed to 50%.

It is conceivable that once the four fragments are combined, the success rate will become 100%.

He Chang crossed his arms: "Won't you be so happy then? You can easily advance to the next level with just a little practice?"

"That's what I deserve."

Nie Wan put away the hammer handle and continued along the sheepfold path into the depths of the volcano.

The second giant with a hammer fragment appeared three hours after the first, but the remaining two giants appeared less than half an hour apart.

From around noon until dusk, Nie Wan finally collected all four fragments and pieced them together into a palm-sized golden hammer.

The four fragments merged, and the spiritual treasure was upgraded to a sacred treasure. As the two had expected, the success rate became 100%.

The hammer's shape is very similar to the old hammer of Hephaestus found deep in Oceanus, only much smaller and with much clearer patterns.

In addition, it also bears an oracle—the Shadow of the Cave.

This divine decree left Nie Wan somewhat bewildered.

On the contrary, He Chang, with his ten years of experience living in the Hiro district, immediately understood its meaning.

"Plato's philosophical idea is that people who are confined to a cave from birth can only see the shadows cast by fire on the wall, so they will think that the shadows on the wall are the only reality in the world. If someone can turn around and find that everything on the wall is just a shadow, he may be considered crazy and killed."

"I see." Nie Wan nodded gently, gazing thoughtfully at the golden hammer in her hand.

"But what role can this divine decree play?" He Chang stroked his chin, very curious.

"Who knows? Let's figure it out slowly."

Although Nie Wan said this, she knew very well in her heart that this divine oracle was similar to greed and ignorance.

Both are about the difference between truth and illusion, and both are about the price of seeking truth. However, greed and ignorance focus more on emotions, while this divine oracle is free from any emotional interference and only cares about the choice of one's own heart.

After learning the truth, should you choose to walk out, or continue facing the wall, looking at your shadow on it, just getting by and letting things continue like this?

No other factors influence this person's choice; they simply need to make their own judgment.

But is it really not true?

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Nie Wan's heart.

A strong urge to refute.

To refute the oracle in the Golden Hammer.

This divine oracle was so cold, as if to say that the truth of this world is perfectly clear, and that a wise and rational person, upon knowing the truth, should unconditionally make the right choice, follow the truth, and never regret it, even at the cost of death.

However, Nie Wan always felt that the correctness of this divine oracle was one-sided.

Following the truth is certainly the right thing to do, but is following other things wrong?

This strong rebuttal and questioning shocked even Nie Wan herself.

But it arose so firmly from the depths of my heart, and exists so indestructibly.

It's as if she really did it, as if she really succeeded by relying on a different idea, a different force that pursued "mistakes".

Maybe it's not just a "seem" thing.

Nie Wan unconsciously tossed the golden hammer in her hand into the air, watching it spin once in the air before falling back into her hand.

After carefully analyzing her feelings, Nie Wan was certain that she must have had that kind of experience.

There must have been an oracle that was completely opposite to the "Shadow of the Cave" oracle.

That oracle held immense significance for her.

That divine oracle resonated with her even more than the reflection of all mirrors, the carefree wandering, or the turbulent flow of the source; the passing of time is inevitable, and it must also be superior to greed and ignorance.
