This effect must be related to the Golden Gate in the sky. He witnessed the whole thing that night. The Golden Gate shot out countless meteors, and those meteors must have been something like the Holy Spirit Fortress.

To understand the essence of becoming stronger, contact with the Holy Spirit Fortress is essential, and this is his opportunity.

“It’s feasible, but what do we do?” Wang Hetai said awkwardly.

"If monsters come, I will fight them off with you. As for your daily life and where you should stay, I'm sorry, I can't take care of that!" Jiang Yuan said.

Jiang Yuan is determined to get his hands on this crystal core. People die for wealth, birds die for food, and this apocalyptic core is the most important wealth. Getting ahead of others is crucial.

After hearing this, Wang Hetai hesitated for a long time, but after glancing at the Holy Spirit in the Holy Spirit Fortress, he finally backed down.

"Then could you please send it back to me first? And also collect some food and essential supplies while you're at it!"

"Sure, take that diesel generator back with you too!"

The three of them went out together. There was a reason why Wang Hetai dared not go out: too many people and monsters had died here. Not to mention the Blood-bellied Eagles circling in the sky, there were also hidden monsters that were watching them closely. If he went out alone, he might accidentally die in the mouth of a monster.

The diesel generator was mounted on a cart. After sending Wang Hetai back to the house where the others were staying, Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan returned to their room at Holy Spirit Fortress.

"Jiang Yuan, why did you decide to stay here? You don't want to be alone with me, do you?" Ning Yanlan asked jokingly.

"I want to awaken my spirit on my own!" Jiang Yuan put down the mat and blanket, found a relatively quiet place, and laid them out. "Here, I have a different feeling!"

"Really? I can't feel it!" Ning Yanlan sat on the quilt he had just made. "But my spiritual energy seems to be recovering faster!"

“We can’t use our past life experiences to view the end times. I believe that many things follow certain patterns!” Jiang Yuan pointed to the Holy Spirit Fortress. “For example, this one. Perhaps the changes in the world are closely related to it!”

After hearing this, Ning Yanlan began rummaging through her pockets, and in no time she took out the Steel Heart she had obtained earlier. "You're right, coming here not only speeds up my spiritual energy recovery, but also makes the spiritual energy stored in this Steel Heart much faster!"

"Let's divide the cores first!" Jiang Yuan took out the two cores he had just obtained. "This mithril core is mine, and the black iron core is yours!"

"No objections, right?"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"What do you think!" Ning Yanlan picked up the black iron core and played with it, half-jokingly saying, "You're in charge here!"

Jiang Yuan was relieved. He was a little worried that Ning Yanlan would say he hadn't distributed the money equally, which could cause a conflict between them. But Ning Yanlan's reaction was calm, at least for now. "And the Holy Spirit Stones, you get two and I get two!"

Ning Yanlan took the two Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones. She looked at the Black Iron Core and pondered for a moment, then pushed the Black Iron Core in front of Jiang Yuan. "Why don't you open it for me?"

"Since Miss Yanlan has asked, I'll reluctantly lend a hand!" Jiang Yuan jokingly accepted the Black Iron Core. He glanced at the resources that could be extracted from it and then asked, "What's the thing you're most hoping for?"

"Um, can it bring world peace?" Ning Yanlan asked without hesitation, revealing what she wanted to achieve.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"Haha!" Ning Yanlan was amused by Jiang Yuan's expression.

"Actually, I'm currently lacking an attack method. If I could unlock it, I could fight alongside you!" Ning Yanlan wasn't joking this time; she was simply stating what she wanted.

Jiang Yuan glanced at it and said, "Then it's up to my luck!"

Actually, this Black Iron Core doesn't contain any attack methods. The four common Tier 1 items are chainmail, leather armor, Bull Charge, and Bull Bloodline, plus a one in ten thousand unknown item.

"Go ahead and drive, you're my lucky star anyway! I'll be happy no matter how you drive!" Ning Yanlan said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Can!"

Jiang Yuan placed a Holy Spirit Stone given to him by Ning Yanlan into the Black Iron Core. The Balance Messenger began to balance the probabilities within. The probability of an unknown item, which was one in ten thousand, was forcibly reduced to twenty percent by the Balance Messenger. The item inside the Black Iron Core began to pulsate.

With a thud, a black metal box appeared. Jiang Yuan didn't open it, but instead said to Ning Yanlan, "I only enjoy the fun of opening boxes. You can enjoy the surprise yourself!"

Ning Yanlan opened the box, looking at it from left to right, her strange expression growing stronger.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ning Yanlan's appearance.

"It looks like an empty box?"
