Chen Mo exchanged his temporary survival time for growth value, significantly boosting his attributes to a level comparable to a Saint King-grade Source Beast. He then used the remaining survival time to acquire Empowerment Stones, planning to use his unique Composing Ability to enhance secret treasures. After Sun Wu advised him to focus on breakthroughs and enhancing his initial growth value, Chen Mo decided to recruit an assistant before leaving.

The Master of the Secret Realm commanded a combat strength akin to a Saint Master-grade Source Beast.

Previously, after dispatching numerous weaklings, Chen Mo had not bothered to employ his unique cosmic secret technique, [Death Summoning].

However, this particular Master of the Secret Realm was undoubtedly worthy of Chen Mo's focused attention.

Upon activating the Death Summoning secret technique, the recently deceased Master of the Secret Realm began to reform its very being, startlingly rising to its feet once more. It then presented itself before Chen Mo and Sun Wu.

Witnessing this development left Sun Wu utterly astonished.

"You're not suggesting you've permanently restored him as your subordinate, are you?"

Sun Wu promptly proceeded to examine the Master of the Secret Realm's attributes.

Should this entity retain the augmented stats from the Time Secret Region, it would serve as an invaluable asset.

Nevertheless, Sun Wu's inspection revealed that the Master of the Secret Realm's attributes had reverted to their initial state.

Even so, the Master of the Secret Realm remained a formidable presence, comparable to a Saint Master-grade Source Beast, boasting a growth potential of an impressive 1000 points.

Even in its unenhanced condition, its attributes would tally to at least ten thousand points.

[Monster Name]: Master of the Secret Realm

[Monster Rank]: First-tier Source Beast

[Monster Grade]: Saint Master-grade

[Monster Level]: 10

[Attribute]:

'Origin Life Force': 100000 points

'Origin Cosmic Power': 10000 points

'Attack Amplification': 10000 points

'Defense Amplification': 10000 points

'Origin Cosmic Energy': 1000000 points

[Talent]:

'Season Control': The Master of the Secret Realm possesses the ability to instantaneously alter the current area's season, bestowing distinct advantages with each transition. It can manipulate the power of the seasons to influence skill effects, with a mandatory 1-minute cooldown between each seasonal shift.

[Active Skills]:

'Season Gale': Conjures the gale of the prevailing season, inflicting diverse wind-elemental damage upon enemies within its radius and pushing them back. During spring, the damage bypasses 20% of the target's defense amplification; in summer, the damage amplifies the attack amplification effect by 20%; in autumn, the skill's area of effect expands by 20%; in winter, the damage reduces the attack and movement speeds of all units within range by 20%.

'Time Migration': Executes an instantaneous temporal displacement, rendering the user temporarily invulnerable to damage while rapidly regenerating Origin Life Force.

'Seasonal Rage': Unleashes the fury of the current season, inflicting widespread damage on adversaries and applying seasonal debuffs. Spring induces a binding effect, summer applies a burning effect, autumn triggers a stun effect, and winter imposes a freezing effect.

'Cosmic Echo': Generates a cosmic reverberation within the Secret Realm, bestowing short-term enhancements and augmenting all attributes of the user.

'Seasonal Judgment': Channels the potent energy of the season, delivering devastating single-target damage with effects that vary based on the current season. In spring, it executes an additional strike against the target; in summer, it elevates the target's critical hit rate and critical damage by 50%; in autumn, the single target damage is fragmented into four hits, each dealing 75% of the base damage; in winter, following the initial damage, an additional 5% of the target's maximum Origin Life Force is inflicted.

[Passive Skills]:

'Protection of the Seasons': Every 60 seconds, automatically adapts to the prevailing season, bolstering corresponding resistances and attributes. In spring, it increases resistance to binding effects and accelerates the recovery of Origin Life Force and Cosmic Origin Energy by 100%. In summer, it enhances resistance to burning and boosts attack amplification by 50%. In autumn, it improves resistance to stuns and amplifies defense amplification by 50%. In winter, it strengthens resistance to freezing and increases Origin Cosmic Power by 50%.

'Eye of the Universe': When launching an assault on an enemy, there exists a probability of uncovering a vulnerability, ensuring the subsequent attack lands as a critical hit.

'Space-time Distortion': At 90-second intervals, imposes a time-slowing effect on surrounding foes, diminishing their attack and movement speeds for a duration of 15 seconds.

'Gift of the Universe': Upon sustaining fatal damage, there is a chance to enter a void state (guaranteed upon the first instance of death), achieving complete immunity to all damage and restoring Origin Life Force. This ability has a cooldown period of 180 seconds.

'Cosmic Resonance': With every seasonal alteration, grants the user and nearby allies a protective shield capable of absorbing a set amount of damage, persisting for 30 seconds.

It became evident that, aside from minor attribute adjustments, the Master of the Secret Realm had preserved all of its original skill functionalities.

This de facto equipped Chen Mo with a potent, top-tier BOSS-level combatant for his battles.

Chen Mo himself was already impressive enough, and unexpectedly, he possessed an even more abnormal card up his sleeve.

Merely by leveraging the attributes of this resurrected rebellious Master of the Secret Realm, Chen Mo vastly surpassed what Sun Wu could possibly compare to.

Not to mention Sun Wu, even Chen Mo's own stats paled in comparison to those of the Master of the Secret Realm.

Furthermore, the cost for Chen Mo to summon this Master of the Secret Realm was remarkably low.

The skill, '{Death Summoning · Exclusive Cosmic Secret Method}', required the consumption of '100 × target level points' of Cosmic Origin Energy. This ability, when used on already deceased units, resurrects them permanently as undead loyal to the controller, retaining all their abilities from before death. These undead creatures subsist on chaos source energy, with the consumption rate per second equaling their level.

Although the Master of the Secret Realm held a high rank, achieving Saint Master-grade, its level was still only 10.

Consequently, Chen Mo needed to expend just 1000 points of Cosmic Origin Energy to bring it back as a controllable undead.

However, the initial resurrection cost was quite trivial; the true challenge lay in the ongoing energy drain after revival.

Post-revival, the Master of the Secret Realm's continued existence necessitated the deduction of Cosmic Origin Energy based on its level each second. This meant Chen Mo had to pay 10 points of Cosmic Origin Energy every second just to sustain the Master of the Secret Realm in its resurrected form.

Yet, this particular expense wasn't excessively burdensome, as a standard Lord of the Cosmos at level 10 typically possessed a Cosmic Origin Energy recovery rate of 10 points per second.

As Chen Mo was an exceptionally potent Lord of the Cosmos, his Cosmic Origin Energy recovery speed per second had been amplified to a substantial 250 points.

Therefore, he paid little mind to the modest demand of 10 points of Cosmic Origin Energy consumption.

"You truly are a monster among monsters," Sun Wu managed a bitter smile, shaking his head, his sole desire now being a swift departure.

Direct comparison to others was a truly infuriating experience; remaining in Chen Mo's proximity any longer made him feel utterly demoralized—a profoundly frustrating sensation! How could the disparity between individuals be so immense?

As the pair exited the Time Secret Region, Chen Mo temporarily concealed the Master of the Secret Realm within his personal universe. After all, deploying a being equivalent to a Saint Master-grade Source Beast openly would undoubtedly incite significant alarm and attention.

Being new to this environment, it was prudent to maintain a low profile.

Upon activation of the teleportation treasure, Chen Mo and Sun Wu were transported back to Nile City.

The two then entered the Source Tower and proceeded to review available tasks, cross-referencing them with the items they had procured. Their objective was to identify missions that required their collected items, which they could then submit directly to earn rewards in Cosmic Source Crystals and Explorer Experience. This would allow them to level up their Explorer's proof and subsequently accept more challenging assignments.

Throughout their journey, Sun Wu had conceded a considerable portion of their profits to Chen Mo, prompting him to quickly conclude his own transaction processes.

Conversely, Chen Mo's dealings took a significantly longer duration to finalize.

He dedicated a substantial amount of time to meticulously organizing and cataloging his accumulated spoils.

As a result, he amassed approximately 500,000 Cosmic Source Crystals, and his Explorer's proof was directly elevated to the rank of first-tier five-stars.

Since a first-tier Lord of the Cosmos could only advance to this specific rank, any further enhancement of the Explorer's proof would necessitate Chen Mo breaking through to a higher cultivation realm.

This limitation prevented him from claiming higher-tier tasks that required certain prized materials, leaving him with no alternative but to sell them or offer them to the guild at a reasonable price in exchange for guild points. These points could later be redeemed for needed items from the guild's extensive warehouse.

Sun Wu provided advice to Chen Mo, suggesting that donating surplus items to the guild represented the most advantageous course of action.

Chen Mo contemplated this suggestion and concurred that it was a viable strategy; parting with items to unknown individuals likely wouldn't yield significantly more Cosmic Source Crystals.

He had already accumulated a sufficient quantity of Cosmic Source Crystals to adequately meet his current requirements.

Once all his acquired items were taken back and processed, the total Cosmic Source Crystals harvested from this expedition was projected to exceed sixty thousand.

The yield from this venture was, without a doubt, exceptionally fruitful.
