After walking past the golden trees, a huge cave appeared in front of him. In the cave, there was an old man with a withered face and hair that reached the back of his waist.
The old man was only wearing a tattered cloth robe. His limbs were all skin and bones, and he was also bound to a dark red rock in the cave by four thick dark red chains.
Although the old man was in dire straits now, his identity was quite impressive. In his previous life, based on the information that Lu Yang had gathered, the old man in front of him was one of the four demon gods of hell, Blazing Demon God, Caldas.
Caldas had an immortal body and was locked here by the gods after the defeat of the war between the gods and devils. The tree full of golden fruits at the door was the energy incarnation of Caldas. As long as someone plucked the fruit and gave it to Caldas to help him recover his energy, he would give the player a treasure that could grow into a piece of god-level equipment, the Demon God's Heart.
Just like in his previous life, Lu Yang walked up to the old man and said pitifully, "Old man, why are you trapped here? Do you need help?"
The old man didn't say anything. He just looked at the fruits on the fruit tree at the door in a daze.
"You want those fruits, right? I'll go get them for you."
Lu Yang walked to the side of the fruit tree and reached out to pluck all the golden fruits. He returned to the old man and said, "Old man, I plucked the fruits for you. Hurry up and eat some."
Looking at the tempting fruits in front of him, the old man could not remain calm. He opened his mouth and ate all the fruits Lu Yang had picked.
After eating all the fruits in one go, the old man revealed a satisfied expression. He looked up at Lu Yang and said, "Young man, who are you and why are you here?"
Lu Yang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm an adventurer. I accidentally fell off the cliff. Fortunately, I had the help of the branches on the cliff, so I didn't fall to my death."
The old man was stunned and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a lucky person. Since you're here, it means that you must have been sent by the gods. You helped me recover my energy and saved my life, so I'll give you a gift as a thank you. Take it."
A scarlet heart appeared in front of the old man, and Lu Yang held it with both hands.
Demon God's Heart (Level 0)

Strength: +1
Agility: +1
Intelligence: +10
Physique: +1
Magic Critical Hit increased by 1%.

Spell hit rate increased by 1%.
Equipment Level: 0
Looking at this heart, Lu Yang could not help but clench his fists in excitement. This was the treasure that made Lu Yang famous in his previous life. It was a special equipment that could grow into a god-level attribute, the Demon God's Heart.
In Second World, there were only a handful of divine weapons. Every player who had a divine weapon could dominate the scene.
The leader of the Loyalty Alliance, Xue Aotian, wielded a legend-level ax and was invincible. In a Guild War consisting of 100,000 people, he activated the equipment's special skill, Endless Hell. With a swing of his ax, he killed all the enemy guild leaders and hundreds of main forces within a 100 by-100-yard radius. He directly destroyed the other party's command system. Then, he led a team of 30,000 to defeat 70,000 people making himself a legend.
The same went for the Heavenly Empire's guild leader, Leng Ye. During the Battle of the Nine Gangs, thousands of enemies ambushed the Heavenly Empire's rear base. Leng Ye defended the front of the city with his bow alone. Relying on the legend-level Moon God Bow, none of the thousands of players could get within 100 yards of the city wall. Finally, Leng Ye activated the Moon God Bow's killing move, Meteor Shattering the Moon. With one shot, he instantly killed Tyranny's guild leader, Lei Yun, and the hundreds of players around him. It could be said that this one man alone could hold off ten thousand enemies.
In his previous life, after Lu Yang was lucky enough to obtain the Demon God's Heart, he did not know that it was a treasure that could grow into legend-level equipment. As he could not find the materials to upgrade the Demon God's Heart, it stayed at level 0 even after he reached level 200. It was only when Lu Yang reached a bottleneck that he was bored and tried to upgrade the Demon God's Heart.
After gathering all the materials, Lu Yang had just leveled up when he realized how powerful the Demon God's Heart was.
Every time he leveled up, his attributes would double, and he would gain several additional attributes. After upgrading his equipment to legend-level in one go, Lu Yang's life had completely changed.
The legend-level Demon God's Heart could allow Lu Yang to transform into one of the four demon gods of hell, the Blazing Demon God. He could release any high-level spells without any cooldown for 30 minutes. He would also automatically learn the three forbidden fire spells. There was also an additional 30% chance of 10 times critical strikes and a series of other endless benefits.
Relying on this equipment, Lu Yang had cleared countless high-difficulty dungeons and killed countless epic bosses. Only then did he have the ability to gather equipment for his team of 300 and build a fortress. Unfortunately, Lu Yang realized it too late.
Now that he had obtained a precious treasure, the first thing Lu Yang had to do was upgrade the Demon God's Heart. Moreover, upgrading the Demon God's Heart to the first level was the easiest.
After equipping the Demon God's Heart, Lu Yang's attributes immediately changed.

Spirit: 10
Agility: 4
Physique: 5

In the game, 1 point of Intelligence was equivalent to 1 magic damage and 10 mana points. 10 points worth of Intelligence from the Demon God's Heart doubled Lu Yang's intelligence and magic damage. At the same time, his mana points increased by 100.
"Old man, thank you for the treasure. I still don't know your name. Is there any way I can help you?" Lu Yang asked respectfully.
The old man looked at Lu Yang's level and said with a smile, "It's still too early for you to help me. Let's talk about it after you reach level 200. As for my name, you don't need to know for now."
System Notification: [Do you accept the old man's quest (legend-level)?]
Lu Yang was overjoyed. He had not expected the old man to assign him a legend-level quest. In his previous life, Lu Yang did not receive this quest. After obtaining the Demon God's Heart, he did not take it seriously. At that time, as an employee of Frost Studio's gold farming team, under the constant urging of the team leader, Lu Yang did not dare to stay any longer. Before he could talk to the old man, he begged the old man to send him back to the surface as soon as possible so that he could earn money. Unexpectedly, he ended up with a pleasant surprise this time.
"Accepted." Anyone who did not accept it would be a fool. The rewards from legend-level quests would definitely be legend-level. Even if it was not equipment, it would be something of the same level.
"Don't worry, old man. When I reach level 200, I will definitely come and save you," Lu Yang said.
The old man waved his hand expressionlessly and Lu Yang felt dizzy. Then, he realized that he had returned to the cliff on the north side of St. Gar City.
"Darn. I still have to run back." It was half an hour's journey. Lu Yang silently cursed the old man for not being enthusiastic enough to send him back to the safe zone in the square.
