Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 60

Han Xing noticed that some sketches were covered by the ruins at the corner of the deep pit.

“Hmm? There’s more?”

He quickly jumped down and tried to clear away the rubble, eager to see what the sketches were.

After equipping the Barbarian Bracers, Han Xing’s strength had reached 45 points. With an additional 30% boost from the Savage Bear Strength Potion, it amounted to nearly 60 points of strength!

His current strength attribute was enough to move these heavy boulders.

One by one, the giant rocks were moved aside, and after gritting his teeth to push away a stone pillar, a larger golem sketch appeared beneath Han Xing’s feet.

A system notification appeared.

[You have discovered Kalon’s crafting sketches for the Enhanced Energy Golem (Elite). The crafting blueprint has been recorded.]

“WTF!!!”

A shout that echoed throughout the entire palace sounded.

Just then, the time in the secret realm came to an end.

Han Xing suddenly felt a fleeting sensation in his body, and in the next moment, he was transported back to his own territory.

…

Above him, the clear blue sky reappeared.

Even so, Han Xing still hadn’t recovered from the shock for a long time.

This trip to the secret realm had completely exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he acquire the method to craft the common-level Energy Golem, but he also discovered how to craft the elite-level Energy Golem in the end!

It was an unbelievable surprise!

Suppressing his excitement, Han Xing began to examine the crafting blueprint for the elite-level Energy Golem.

[Enhanced Energy Golem Blueprint]: According to this blueprint, different levels of Enhanced Energy Golems can be crafted. The level of the Energy Golem is determined by the number of Spirit Cores added during crafting: 5,000 Spirit Cores are needed for a Level 1 Energy Golem, 10,000 for Level 2, and so on. (Please note, the crafted Enhanced Energy Golem’s level cannot exceed the survivor’s level.)

[Crafting Materials Required]: Enhanced Energy Core x1, Special Clay x20,000 (can be replaced with Refined Iron), Mithril x5,000, Rare Earth x50,000, Ether x40,000.

[Crafting Success Rate: 5% (Affected by the ‘God-level Craftsman’ talent, the success rate has reached 100%).]

The materials required for the elite-level Energy Golem increase exponentially, but considering its formidable abilities, it’s all worth it.

He only had one Enhanced Energy Core in his possession, which meant he could only craft one elite-level golem.

After using some materials to repair the Damaged Energy Core, Han Xing eagerly clicked on the crafting option.

[Do You Want to Craft the Enhanced Energy Golem (Elite) x1, Crafting Time Required: 4 Hours]

“Yes.”

[Crafting Enhanced Energy Golem in Progress. Time Remaining: 3 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds…]

Han Xing glanced at the construction time for his Basic Lord’s Castle. Less than 9 hours remained before it would be fully completed.

At this time, the construction of the castle was more than halfway done. The first two floors were already taking shape, leaving only the main tower to be completed.

“Nice. By the time I’ve created a few golems, the castle will be nearly finished. Then, my territory will finally have some defensive capabilities.”

Han Xing imagined with eager anticipation how the completed castle would look.

Just then, Han Xing received a message from Cheng Jianyong in the group chat. He opened it to check.

As soon as he entered the group chat, he heard Cheng Jianyong speaking with a hint of anger: “F*ck, what sh1t luck!”

Both Han Xing and Shen Yun noticed the unusual tone in his voice and quickly asked: “What’s wrong?”

Cheng Jianyong angrily explained: “I just ran into two little bastards on the way. They came up to me, saying their territory was invaded by monsters, and they were seriously injured. They hoped I could save them.”

“I thought that since we’re all from Blue Star, we’re kind of in the same boat, so I felt some sympathy for them. But who would have thought, once those two patched themselves up in my territory, they had their eyes on my gear!”

“Those two suddenly attacked me and nearly killed me!”

Han Xing realized the seriousness of the situation and promptly asked: “How are you doing now? Do you need us to come over?”

Shen Yun also hurriedly said: “Quick, send us your coordinates. I’ll take care of those two bastards right away!”

Cheng Jianyong replied in the group chat with a slightly heavy tone: “No need to come over. I’ve already taken care of it.”

Upon hearing that, both men understood what Cheng Jianyong meant by “taken care of.”

In such a situation, it was likely the conflict had escalated to the point where it couldn’t be resolved peacefully.

In other words, Cheng Jianyong had probably dealt with those two ill-intentioned individuals.

Unlike his previous battles with monsters, this time, Cheng Jianyong had actually killed someone.

However, neither Han Xing nor Shen Yun said much about it. In this kind of world, without the constraints of law, one must do everything possible to protect oneself.

Moreover, when someone is trying to kill you, what’s the point in hesitating to take them down first?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the group chat was somewhat heavy.

Cheng Jianyong then let out a sigh and said, “Thankfully, I had Brother Xing’s help this time with all those blue items and skills you gave me. That’s how I managed to turn the tables on those two bastards, otherwise…”

He spoke sincerely: “Brother Xing, Brother Yun, I’ve realized that in this world, we must protect ourselves!”

“If they’re strangers, we absolutely shouldn’t let them set foot in our territory!”

Both Han Xing and Shen Yun understood that Cheng Jianyong’s advice was very reasonable.

After confirming Cheng Jianyong was okay, Han Xing closed the group chat.

A moment later, he thoughtfully said to himself: “Just as I expected, even though human survivors now share common survival challenges, there’s bound to be a small number with ill intentions.”

“I need to quickly strengthen myself, at the very least, to build up the defenses of my territory. That way, if someone tries to harm me, they’ll have to think twice if they’re up to the challenge!”

With this in mind, Han Xing, accompanied by Coal, continued to level up.

With his current strength and the transformed Coal, the usual sky island monsters posed no threat to him.

As long as he didn’t rashly approach those sky islands that were 1,000 m² large, he basically wouldn’t encounter enemies stronger than himself.

The afternoon had reached sunset.

Han Xing had just taken down a group of goblins, raising his level to 80% of level 7.

His territory area, after a day of exploration, expanded from over 1,200 m² to more than 2,000 m², nearly doubling in size.

However, Han Xing didn’t continue to increase the usable area of his territory.

Instead, he folded more than 1,000 m² of it and placed it beneath the sky island, creating an overlapping state.

His sky island territory area shrank back to 1,000 m². If he acquired new building blueprints later on, he could always expand them back to a single layer whenever needed.

But for now, since he didn’t have any buildings that needed to be constructed, expanding the territory area too much wasn’t beneficial.

Meanwhile, a system notification appeared.

[Enhanced Energy Golem (Elite) Crafting Completed.]

The system notification ended.

Han Xing saw that in the center of his territory, a steel giant, towering at 5 m tall, had suddenly appeared.

This was the elite-level Energy Golem that had just been crafted.

It seemed that because the main material, ‘Special Magical Clay,’ had been replaced with Refined Iron, the appearance of this Energy Golem resembled that of a steel giant.

In front of him, the attributes of the golem also appeared.

[Enhanced Energy Golem (1-Star Elite)]

[Level: LV7]

[Strength: 68, Dexterity: 37, Wisdom: 49, Constitution: 71]

[Energy Core’s Remaining Energy Value: 0]

[Energy Core’s Remaining Defense Value: 300]

[Skills: Charged Cannon, Steel Body (Passive Skill, reduces 40% of damage when receiving physical attacks), Earthquake Impact (The Energy Golem leaps high and crashes heavily onto the ground, causing a massive ground shock that deals significant damage to enemies in the area).]

Compared to the elite golem he challenged in the secret realm, this golem has a slightly lower dexterity attribute, but the other attributes have seen some slight improvements.

Han Xing estimated that this was due to the primary material used in making the Energy Golem being replaced with Refined Iron.

However, its 2nd skill, Rock Body, has transformed into Steel Body, with an increased damage reduction effect.

For defense purposes, this Energy Golem’s attributes are satisfactory.

At this moment, the Energy Golem remained motionless as if it had stalled.

Han Xing knew the reason: the Energy Core had no energy left.

So he approached the Energy Golem to start replenishing its energy, and a system prompt appeared.

[Would you like to use Spirit Cores to replenish the energy value of the Enhanced Energy Golem?]

[Note: 100 Spirit Cores can replenish 1 point of energy value, and each point of energy value allows the Enhanced Energy Golem to enter Combat Mode for 1 hour.]

“Oh? So, 10,000 Spirit Cores can only let this Energy Golem fight for 100 hours?”

“This consumption is a bit high…”

Han Xing realized that the Energy Golem really lives up to its name. It requires Spirit Cores for everything it does.

He was considering creating a puppet army in the future, and if each one consumed this much, he would need tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Cores for a single battle.

Even with his current reserves, it was quite burdensome.

However, the consumption of just a few golems was something he could manage for now.

With a wave of his hand, Han Xing directly used 5,000 Spirit Cores, replenishing its energy value to 50 points.

In the next moment, the Energy Core on the golem’s chest emitted a brilliant green light, restoring its ability to move.

Feeling inspired, Han Xing suddenly wanted to test how well this Energy Golem could follow his commands, so he said: “Move forward.”

The Energy Golem started to take heavy, deliberate steps forward.

Thud! Thud!

The ground continually trembled, causing the furniture and sofas to shift a few centimeters.

“Stop!”

The Energy Golem instantly halted its movement.

“Attack mode.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a terrifying energy began to form in the golem’s hands.

1 second, 2 seconds.

The energy sphere in the Energy Golem’s hands grew increasingly intense.

Han Xing also noticed that its Energy had decreased by one point in just a few seconds.

Han Xing quickly commanded the Energy Golem to stop charging.

In the next moment, a powerful green energy sphere, radiating a destructive aura, shot into the air.

Boom!

A deep explosion resounded.

…
