Accepting the Sixteen Holy Wings’ favor, Yu Zi Yu smiled, raised his hand, and gestured towards the Well of Elements.

*Booooom…* With a terrifying roar, an immense suction surged.

In moments, under the stunned gaze of countless beings, the Well of Elements, firmly rooted on Elementara, began to lift and fly towards the Realm of Life, pulled by the irresistible force of Yu Zi Yu’s beckoning.

*Drip… drip…* One drop after another, brilliant droplets of nine-colored light fell from the sky.

These were the droplets that had overflowed from the Well of Elements, the purest of the Spiritual Energy.

Just a single drop could rival the Spiritual Energy of an entire large-scale Spirit Stone Mine.

Moreover, it was far purer, far more potent…

“With a treasure like this, I’ll have no worries about cultivation in the future.” Smiling faintly, Yu Zi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the approaching spring.

Such a Supreme Treasure was not something ordinary beings could ever hope to acquire.

In other words, had the Elemental Clan been allowed to flourish for another 1,000 or 10,000 years—until a Tier-7 was born among them, conquering them would have been nigh impossible. Unless someone reached the Realm of Eternity, there would be no hope of breaching their defenses.

A Hegemon, paired with an Imperial Artifact, and supported by the heritage of a great race, that wasn’t something even multiple Hegemons could overcome.

Even if each wielded an Imperial Artifact, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Thus, one could imagine how infinitesimal the chances were that the Well of Elements would ever be lost to the outside world.

In fact, throughout all the epochs in which the Elemental Clan had existed, the Well of Elements had only ever left their possession twice.

The first time was during the Era of the Gods, when the Gods appeared in the world, terrifying all races.In order to avoid annihilation, the Elemental Clan willingly offered up the Well of Elements.

The second time was in the last era, when the Heavenly Court emerged and suppressed all the races for millions of years. In their quest to gather the world’s rarest treasures, they dispatched troops to forcibly seize the Well of Elements from the Elemental Clan.

And now, this was the third time—and also the most humiliating.

Because this time, there was no Eternal powerhouse involved.

Just a single being at the Seventh Order had clashed head-on with an Imperial Artifact, and conquered the entire Elemental Clan.

Yu Zi Yu’s rise had been too fast and far too overwhelming, so much so that there was a vast power gap between his strength and the average strength of the universe.

Most powerhouses were merely at Tier-5, with the strongest among them reaching no higher than Tier-6 Overlords.

Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu had already reached the Seventh Order in Physical Evolution, elevating his combat prowess to that of a Hegemon, perhaps even surpassing most ordinary Hegemons.

At this point, who could even hope to challenge him?

Because of this, despite having achieved Seventh Order, Yu Zi Yu now possessed the invincibility and dominance almost akin to an Eternal.

“Regrettably, and sadly…” Sighing in disappointment, Yu Zi Yu gently placed the Well of Elements in the very depths of the Realm of Life.

The Realm of Life was already brimming with boundless vitality. And now, with the addition of the Well of Elements capable of producing boundless Spiritual Energy…

In a few centuries or millennia, this world would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative transformation.

The mere thought of this brought a faint smile on Yu Zi Yu’s lips, as he gazed at the spring nestled quietly on the ground in the distance.

Though no bigger than a millstone, the spring was quite astonishing. It shimmered with colorful hues.

Now and then, nine-colored Spirit Essence would bubble forth and overflow. Each droplet possessed such potency that it dyed the very air it touched, causing the entire atmosphere to pulse with luminous hues.

But the visual spectacle was only part of its allure.

Even individuals of unremarkable talent could instantly detect the palpable surge of Spiritual Energy that now saturated the surroundings. So dense was this energy that it felt almost liquefied, making the simple act of breathing feel thick and heavy.

This, then, was the power of the Well of Elements, the ability to transform even the most barren land into a sanctuary overflowing with potent Spiritual Energy.

For instance, it was already clear that high-grade Spirit Stone Mines would soon proliferate across the entire land.

These would not be ordinary mines; the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Stones would possess such exceptional purity that it could be absorbed directly for cultivation, eliminating the need for refinement.

*Hoooo…* As Yu Zi Yu exhaled slowly, the sheer scale of the Elemental Clan’s wealth finally clicked into place.

With such a Well of Elements at their disposal, the question of ever running out of Spirit Stones seemed almost absurd.

And indeed, what were Spirit Stones but the most vital cultivation resource beneath the boundless stars, a strategic commodity of the highest order?

“This is practically a bottomless treasure trove…” breathed Yu Zi Yu, his admiration evident in the fervent gaze as he looked upon the Well of Elements.

This was truly a supreme treasure.

Sensing the intense heat in Yu Zi Yu’s gaze fixed on the Well of Elements, Anzuiel chuckled teasingly. “The Well of Elements is a treasure indeed, but the Angel Clan’s Well of Light and the Elves’ Well of Life are no less extraordinary.”

He leaned in slightly. “Should you ever claim the Elves’ Well of Life, this realm might actually have a chance to ascend into a Great World.”

Yu Zi Yu was momentarily stunned. “Is that true?”

“Undeniably,” Anzuiel replied with a knowing smile, nodding slightly. “The Well of Elements is the source of Spiritual Energy, the foundation. The Angel Race’s Well of Light, however, produces Holy Essence, each drop a condensation of the lifelong faith of 129,600 of the purest believers. This essence can cleanse all impurities and elevate the Soul. And then there’s the Elves’ Well of Life, the very cradle of all vitality, producing the Spring of Life.”

Anzuiel trailed off, then shook his head. “This is not something you can grasp at your current level. I’ll tell you more in the future.”

“En,” Yu Zi Yu acknowledged, understanding dawning in his eyes. Despite his considerable power, he recognized that there were still things beyond his reach.

Anzuiel’s mention of the Well of Life, however, resonated deeply within Yu Zi Yu, and he made a mental note.

A decision formed within him: he would seek out the Elves’ main stronghold sometime in the future.

However, initial observations suggested they did not reside within the Western Sector.

Moreover, Yu Zi Yu was also well aware of the implications of his burgeoning interest in the Well of Life.

A treasure of such immense value could not be obtained with mere negotiations.

In fact, even harboring a desire for it was tantamount to declaring a war against the Elves.
