Chapter 366: Federal Army Treasury, Creative Arts
[The Sun Sage added 100+ new items to the Federal Army Treasury. All items have been scanned and verified personally by Mother Acala. Please peruse them at your leisure.]
This message was sent to all important personnel at the crack of dawn. This being the very first thing that they saw as soon as they woke up from sleep, or meditation, sent ripples to their moods right away. Everybody was unable to help themselves from hurriedly checking out the new items that have been added to the Treasury.
The Federal Army Treasury might sound like it's possessed by the Prime Earth Federal Government, and that's partly correct. However, even the High Marshals and other important personnel of the army couldn't just carelessly withdraw resources placed in here.
If they're eyeing something, they must apply for it first. This application will be circulated amongst other leaders, verified, and decided by votes. Above all else, Cedric himself will be informed of this, and his decision takes priority over everyone else's. This isn't something he arranged himself; it was them who made this decision, and Cedric just agreed to it.
In case he's not available, Acala will take his place.
The Federal Army Treasury is where the most extravagant and most important resources of humanity were kept. It's physical location is sealed, and nobody except Cedric or Acala knows where it is.
If anybody wants to withdraw items from the treasury, not only do they need the approval of at least more than half of the leaders, but they must also use the Acala System to do so. Of course, any transactions made using the system will be recorded and documented for the sake of security. It will definitely be useful in case there are some complications or disagreements in the future.
But none of that is important right now. What matters right now is that the Sun Sage somehow added more things to the Treasury. And given that it was placed here instead of literally anywhere else, that means that whatever he shoved in here were very precious resources.
"God damn!"
This seemed to be the general reaction of everybody who saw the new items that were added to the ever-growing list available in the Treasury.
Everybody who has access to this list couldn't help but feel dazzled with the amount of new stuff added to it. The descriptions labeled on each item made them even more dazzling to their eyes, making their breaths ragged and their hearts beating with fervor and excitement.
The list was automatically sorted via rarity. Of course, there is an option for everybody to filter the list to show only the new items added.
Even the most common items (according to the rarity tagging) were incredibly useful for people like them. In fact, some people were already applying for them.
For example, there is something called the 'Golden Thread Praying Mat'. It's an item of mysterious origins. It has only one function, unlike other items, but that single thing was incredibly useful. That is, when using this during meditation or cultivation, it enhances the perception of the user by 25% in all aspects.
A mere 25% added bonus to one's perception might seem weak and pathetic. And that would be the case when this item was placed on the thriving market of the cosmic alliance.
But this is Prime Earth. Even trash from the cosmic alliance is considered a heaven-defying treasure here. To the eyes of humans, this was simply a miraculous item, one that could help them increase their chances of having a breakthrough despite their lacking talents and foundations.
And this is just one item amongst the many that have been recently added here.
There are more useful things, like organic metals that could grow like plants or ancient blueprints of things that could either provide security to the world or cause mass destruction to their enemies. There were remains of mythical creatures here too.
Hell, some even saw vials containing the blood essence of said mythical creatures! According to the description, consuming this blood will most likely bestow the bloodline of the respective mythical creature this blood came from on its consumer. There were chances of failure, of course, but this was a worthy gamble.
As they continued perusing the list, eventually getting to the items that were considered to be no less than 'Legendary' or even straight up 'Mythical' in the rarity sorting, the more dazzling and greed-inducing the items got.
There's this one item called 'Dimensional Seed'. Which, once nurtured to germination, grants access to an 'Inner World' to its user. This inner world has no upper limit. It only depends on the luck and fate of those who receive it. This meant that if whoever gets this item had great luck, their inner world could potentially become even larger than Prime Earth or the very solar system that it's at. .net
Hell, it could even grow as large as an entire cosmic realm. But of course, that will take a mind-boggling amount of effort, resources, and luck to achieve. Still, the Dimensional Seed being placed as a Mythical Item in this list was something that nobody could refute.
Aside from the Dimensional Seed, there were items such as fragments of Grand Solar Laws, which anybody could consume to gain general comprehension about a random Grand Solar Law. There's also unique seeds that could produce heaven-defying resources upon reaching maturity. There were items that could act as life-preserving treasures, items that could bestow a unique lucky chance to their user, etc.
Hell, there's even blueprints for intergallactic spaceships available here, which made Charles' eyes nearly roll at the back of his head due to sheer stimulation.
Every single one of these recently added items could cause mass hysteria and panic if their existence were publicized, which is why they're placed here. Hell, even the most disciplined people who had access to this list were almost losing their composures due to the sheer need to get their hands on particular items that they oh-so-needed.
With how rare and valuable these resources were, one would think that at least one or two people would be curious where the Sun Sage got all these from. Because there's no way that he got these from Acala herself or that he just happened to have this in his inventory and figured that now would be the best time to unload them all for everybody to see.
So? Where did these all come from?
And yes, that would be correct. There were indeed a handful of people who were curious inwardly. Did they dare to ask the Sun Sage about it? Of course not. Why? Because how is that any of their business?
None of the people who were granted access to the Treasury were fools. They managed to live and survive this long, not because of stupidity or recklessness. They were more perceptive than their peers, and it served them well for the majority of their lives.
It doesn't matter where he got all of these from. What's important is that the Sun Sage was generous enough to share these resources with them instead of just hoarding them and letting them rot in his inventory.
Cedric doesn't really get any concrete benefits from unloading all of this here. He doesn't lack anything they could offer in exchange for these items, so this might as well be considered a donation.
His generosity is the very thing that kept the curious ones from overstepping their boundaries.
The Sun Sage is their ally. It would do them no good if they continued doubting his intentions because, since day one, he had made this clear to all of them.
He just wants to eliminate their oppressors and return freedom to his people. And if possible, usher them to a more prosperous future amongst the stars. That's it, plain and simple.
How can anybody hate that? How could they when he's obviously doing it and the results are there for everyone to see and experience?
That's why I don't care whether he got this through legal means or not. Anything he could offer, they will take. All for the sake of helping out the man who's making a difference.
Everybody who was still perusing the list and absorbed in their thoughts was shaken by another notice from the Acala System. Deep down, a trace of anticipation welled up in their hearts.
[The Sun Sage just recently updated the Life Evolution Library.]
[He added the following chapters for some of the old techniques in the library, making some complete and the rest nearing completion.]
[He also added new ones. Some were complete, and most were incomplete.]
[The 'Creative Arts' section has also been created. This list contains unorthodox paths to life evolution, like the paths of music, chess, formations, talismans, alchemy, smithing, beast taming, etc.]
[To this extent, the Enlightenment Hall also announced that they will be expanding the realm, providing more rooms available so that more people could gain enlightenment of planetary and grand solar laws.]
If the previous announcement caused waves to rise within them. This very recent one caused that to explode with even more fervor.
What happened next could, of course, be expected.
