Chapter 1762 Backlash of Luck!
After Ye Chuyun was reborn, she remembered this place very early on, but she never came here.
The reason is simple: activating the rebate mechanism of the Golden Lake requires an initial investment of at least 100 million Divine Demon Coins, and experience from the previous life shows that the more money invested in the first time, the higher the initial return multiple will be.
He hadn't originally considered this place his primary objective, since there were many ways to earn God and Demon Coins there.
There's no need to come here to take advantage of deals.
But now the situation has changed. For the Primal Rune Crystal, and also for the treasure hidden in the Golden Lake, he had no choice but to come.
Ye Chuyun's eyes flickered: "I'm not afraid of the backlash from my luck."
He brought a precious prop with him, called the "Sky-Deceiving Mirror". As long as he shines it on himself, he can temporarily isolate his own fortune from the outside world and create a false projection of fortune to withstand the backlash.
Although the duration was limited, it was enough to sustain him in completing the operation.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuyun took out a Divine Demon Crystal Card from her storage ring, worth 100 million Divine Demon Coins.
He gently tossed the crystal card onto the lake.
The crystal card traced an arc in the air, and upon landing in the golden lake, it sank silently without creating a ripple.
The lake remained calm.
Ye Chuyun waited quietly.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Just when he thought he might have remembered the method wrong, the lake surface finally changed.
The once calm, mirror-like golden lake began to ripple with subtle waves.
The ripples spread outwards from where the crystal card sank, becoming denser and faster.
Immediately afterwards, a small whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake. The whirlpool slowly rotated, causing the surrounding lake water to form a eddy about three zhang in diameter.
At the center of the vortex, a faint golden light emanated.
Ye Chuyun held her breath and continued to take out the Divine Demon Crystal Cards from the ring, throwing them into the lake one after another.
The second one, the third one, the fourth one...
With each crystal card inserted, the whirlpool in the lake expands and the golden light shines brighter.
When the hundredth crystal card was inserted, which was equivalent to 10 billion God and Demon Coins, the entire lake had transformed into a massive golden vortex. The golden light at the center of the vortex was as intense as the sun, almost blinding to the naked eye.
"Not enough." Ye Chuyun gritted her teeth and increased the speed of her throw.
He used both hands simultaneously, and the divine and demonic crystal cards fell into the lake like raindrops.
Two hundred billion, three hundred billion, five hundred billion...
When the 500th crystal card was inserted, the change finally began.
The golden light at the center of the vortex suddenly burst forth, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.
Even with the barrier in place, the afterglow of the beam of light still penetrated the barrier, turning the sky for dozens of miles around golden.
Ye Chuyun was startled and quickly reinforced the barrier, while throwing the remaining five hundred crystal cards into the lake all at once.
One hundred billion God and Demon Coins were all lost.
The moment the last crystal card sank, the entire lake erupted in chaos.
The golden lake water churned and roared, as if some enormous creature was about to awaken from the bottom of the lake.
The vortex reached its maximum rotation speed, forming a bottomless black hole at its center. Countless golden runes swirled around the black hole, twisting and changing, constantly radiating pressure.
Ye Chuyun took a few steps back, fully alert.
He knew that the secret of Liujin Lake was about to be revealed to him.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar came from the bottom of the lake, and a huge golden sphere of light slowly rose from the black hole.
The sphere of light was over ten feet long, with liquid golden light flowing across its surface, while inside, countless phantom images of divine and demonic coins could be vaguely seen rolling and constantly multiplying.
The ball of light rose to a point three zhang above the lake and stopped.
The next second, countless dense cracks appeared on the surface of the light sphere, and dazzling golden light burst out from the cracks.
Then, the sphere of light bloomed layer by layer like a lotus flower, revealing its interior.
Those were divine and demonic coins solidified into reality.
However, Ye Chuyun's eyes narrowed, and she immediately rejected her subconscious thought.
This is not God and Demon Coins; it should be said that it is no longer an ordinary God and Demon Coin.
Each of those coins was about the size of a palm, dark gold in color, with intricate star patterns engraved on the surface and countless runes surrounding it.
They exude a rich spiritual energy, and the energy contained in each one is astonishing.
"This is the advanced form of the God and Demon Coin, the Star Coin?" Ye Chuyun's eyes widened.
In the world of gods and demons, God and Demon Coins are the universal currency, but there are even higher-level currencies such as Star Coins and Cosmic Crystals.
However, the latter two are too rare to be used as common currencies.
Therefore, in the world of gods and demons, only the God and Demon Coins are recognized as the main universal currency.
One Star Coin can theoretically be exchanged for 100 million God and Demon Coins, but because Star Coins contain pure star power that can be directly absorbed for cultivation, the actual exchange rate is often higher, and they are in high demand but not readily available.
If Star Coins are already so rare, then Cosmic Crystals, which are on the next level, are even rarer.
Ye Chuyun roughly estimated that the number of star coins condensed in the light sphere was at least ten thousand.
In other words, an investment of 100 billion God and Demon Coins was exchanged for Star Coins worth 1 trillion God and Demon Coins.
A tenfold return, consistent with the rumors from my previous life.
But Ye Chuyun was not in a hurry to collect these Star Coins.
He knew that the gift of Liujin Lake would not end so easily.
Sure enough, after all the Star Coins appeared, the sphere of light did not dissipate, but continued to change.
The golden runes peeled off the surface of the sphere of light, intertwined and combined in the air, eventually forming an ancient scripture.
The scripture was written in ancient divine script. Ye Chuyun had studied related knowledge in her previous life and could barely recognize some of the content.
"In the beginning of chaos, creation gave birth to spirits, and the golden spirit gathered treasures, which were exchanged for wealth through fortune... However, the way of heaven is balanced; gain and loss go hand in hand. The more one takes, the more one loses in fortune. Only those with great merit and great fortune can break through this calamity..."
Ye Chuyun was shocked.
This passage has never been mentioned by anyone in previous lives.
He stared intently at the screen, forcing himself to memorize it.
The text is short, about five hundred words, but every word is precious, containing the ultimate truths of the universe.
It details the origin of Liujin Lake.
It is an innate spiritual object formed by the fusion of the laws of gold and wealth. Because it was tainted by worldly greed, it developed the characteristic of exchanging fortune for wealth.
The latter half of the text describes a method to counteract the backlash of one's fortune.
By purifying the essence of Jinhu with the power of merit, its malevolent energy can be transformed into a treasure.
"The power of merit..." Ye Chuyun seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that this power of merit is the way to resolve the backlash from bad luck.
But where could he obtain something as ethereal as the power of merit?
"Never mind that, let's first resist the backlash of fate."
Ye Chuyun quickly took out a silver mirror and looked at herself.
