At the moment Chu Xiu returned to the Awakening Space, a row of prompt panels flashed before his eyes.

Although Chu Xiu knew that by killing seven gods in a row this time, almost exterminating all the bosses, the rewards would be extremely generous, the final result still far exceeded his expectations.
Just the Cause and Effect Points alone amounted to a total of 1.41 million points!!!
1.41 million!!!
"Damn, that’s probably enough for me to fully upgrade the entire General Tier inheritance," Chu Xiu secretly marveled, thinking that such a reward truly warranted the title of the highest difficulty Ancient Trials.
And, the Cause and Effect Points are just one part of the rewards.
Following this, there are still a large number of artifacts!
"A total of five Upgrade Sparks! Three Hand of Deprivation at Legendary Tier! Plus blueprints for both Legendary and Mythical equipment and an Independent Anchor Point!"
Back then, the Upgrade Spark that he entrusted Qin Xiang to auction had each valued at billions of Huaxia Coins! There are a total of five here!
And, the value of the other artifacts is just as high, if not higher!
Be it the Hand of Deprivation or the equipment blueprints, all are priceless treasures.
What caught Chu Xiu’s attention the most was the last item.
[Independent Anchor Point: Generates an anchor point for traversal in any Abyss World.]
He had heard of this artifact before. It is used for exploring unfamiliar Abyss Worlds.
The worlds provided by Awakening Trials, even if they complete the world tasks and retain them, usually have relatively low levels. The Corpse Demon World that Chu Xiu came across was already extremely rare; most world levels are at Level 5, meaning the strongest creature in those worlds is only King Tier.
This is also why the state places so much importance on the Corpse Demon World.
Therefore, for high-tier existences wanting to explore higher-tier worlds, the most common approach is to use world fragments obtained during the Ascension Trials and gradually expand using artifacts.
However, the downside of this method is that the value of expansion artifacts is quite high (Directed Deep Dive Scrolls), making it difficult to expand a world fragment into a complete world, especially given the large size of high-tier worlds.
Usually, this method is only suitable for personal short-term exploration, considered small personal opportunities.
To acquire a complete high-tier world, in most cases, one needs to undertake Free Deep Diving, which means exploring the Abyss freely without relying on anchor points.
Upon finding a suitable Abyss world using this method, one can use the Independent Anchor Point to mark it. In fact, it doesn’t only mark worlds; the Independent Anchor Point can mark any location within the Abyss, even an empty void.
"The initial value of this thing is extremely high. However, as the Awakened realized the dangers of the Abyss and collectively increased their levels, the price dropped quite a bit."
The uncertainty of Free Deep Diving is too great. There are all sorts of strange things in the Abyss. Some people find lost secret treasures, while others encounter soul-devouring beasts. Some even reportedly encounter Abyssal Giant Beasts that have existed for countless years, wandering the Abyss.
Even powerful beings like the Heroic Spirits or Demigods dare not venture too deep into the layers for exploration.
Nowadays, high-tier awakened ones on Blue Star can earn Cause and Effect Points effortlessly through their power and influence. Who would risk their lives in the Abyss?
Chu Xiu certainly wouldn’t take such risks.
"Never mind. Although its value has dropped considerably, selling it for two or three hundred billion is still a breeze," Chu Xiu said, flipping his wrist to store it away.
He continued to look further down.
An S-Class profession brings in another few hundred billion.
And then it was time for Chu Xiu to gleefully anticipate the Mythical equipment!
"Finally obtained a Myth!"
Even the effects of Myth artifacts are outrageously strong, making Chu Xiu very curious about how strong Myth equipment could possibly be!
He looked down, and a line of data appeared before his eyes.
