Chapter 57: Witness
The area where Twilight City once stood had been leveled to the ground, both from the scorching of the Solar Flame and the crashing of Realm Lightning. All buildings and high walls had been reduced to powder. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune intertwine. Though this great city was utterly destroyed, the darkness that had accumulated in the soil of this region was completely evaporated by the Realm Lightning.
At this moment, as the newborn sun rose and illuminated the earth for the first time, its sunlight carried unparalleled life-nourishing vitality, causing this barren land to be reborn with vigor. Clear water gradually seeped from the crisscrossing cracks left by the battle, filling them. Under the nourishment of this life-giving water, flowers, grass, and shrubs began to grow.
Tree seeds originally buried deep underground sprouted and took root. Saplings suited to this environment pushed through the soil crust, growing rapidly as if embracing the sun. In just over an hour, the once majestic but oppressive Twilight City had vanished, replaced by a lush, tranquil natural environment.
Birds were the first to be attracted. Their arrival brought a touch of vitality to the serene natural setting. It would likely take a few days for rodents or herbivores to appear, which would then attract carnivores.
Witnessing this cycle of nature firsthand, Su Xiao, sitting beneath a metal door, gained a somewhat different understanding of nature, the elements, and the Star Realm.
[Tip: Your Heart Meditation ability has been upgraded to Lv.98.]
The Heart Meditation ability increased by one level. Starting from Lv.95, this ability could no longer be upgraded solely through persistent meditation; it required different insights. However, this didn't mean that insights alone were sufficient. Without the daily accumulation of consistent meditation, insights alone were useless. Talent and diligence were both indispensable.
[Due to the improvement of your Heart Meditation ability, the derived passive effect, Language of Nature, has undergone a qualitative upgrade. You can now communicate with sufficiently ancient and old plant-type beings through touch.]
This ability was quite good and could even play a decisive role in certain situations.
[You have completed the Main Mission · Final Stage · Witness.]
[You have received Primordial Source Matter x1 portion, Primordial Core x2.]
[Do you wish to end the remaining stay time and immediately return to Reincarnation Paradise?]
[You have chosen to temporarily remain in this world. Remaining stay time: 2 natural days.]
...
After stabilizing his injuries, Su Xiao supported himself on the metal giant door behind him and stood up. This was, after all, the last remnant of the Sun Faction's Royal City. Beside this metal giant door stood a Sun Tree with a pitch-black trunk and pale golden leaves.
This type of tree had been extinct for many years. During the peak of the Sun Faction, it was their iconic plant. Unfortunately, by the early Second Era, all Sun Trees had begun to wither. By the mid-Second Era, not a single Sun Tree could be found on Blazing Sun Star, only preserved seeds.
One of the energy nodes inside Lusiva's battle armor was a Sun Tree seed. Now, this seed had unexpectedly sprouted and taken root. Whether by coincidence or fate, the broken half of Lusiva's dark silver longspear was now enveloped by this Sun Tree.
However, don't expect Lusiva to be resurrected or anything like that. Ultimately, he didn't die from severe injuries but from excessive fate prediction.
Just then, Delona, with her long silver hair and wearing a black dress, walked over. Behind her floated a humanoid smoke-like Shadow Demon.
Delona stopped in front of the Sun Tree, her expression calm, without pain or sorrow. Although she seemed to have a lively personality, she had grown up in the Dark Moon Nightmare, possessing an inner strength that others couldn't imagine.
"Bai Ye, how interesting. The first one to die because of our fate prediction ability was actually my elder brother. 'Mother's' will was right; this ability will become our curse."
Delona looked up at the canopy of the Sun Tree. The information in her words was astonishing.
Previously, it was thought that Delona and Ayesha were avatars, substitutes, or clones of the Abyss · Dark Womb. Now it seemed they were children of the Abyss · Dark Womb.
Another key question was whether the Abyss · Dark Womb had reproduced on its own to give birth to the twin sisters Delona and Ayesha, or if it had done so with some other existence in the Abyss, one as father and one as mother, forming a causal bond that resulted in these twin sisters.
For powerful Abyssal beings, producing offspring is by no means for continuing a bloodline, nor is it the reproduction derived from lust. In fact, for powerful Abyssal beings, concepts like mating and childbirth are lowly notions they disdain to understand.
When a powerful Abyssal being gives birth to offspring, it is usually because one party is trying to devour the other, but the other escapes during the erosion process.
The escaping party, during the process of being devoured, becomes contaminated by the other powerful Abyssal being's causality, energy, fate, and even rules. Due to rejection, the severely injured Abyssal being must find a way to strip away these constantly eroding elements.
Direct stripping is too risky and not thorough enough. Gathering them first is a feasible method. In the eyes of some half-baked Abyss scholars, this is the Abyssal being 'gestating,' but it's not; it's gathering before stripping.
During this gathering process, the Abyssal being inevitably allows its own causality, energy, and fate to merge with those of the eroding party. It is precisely this merging process that leads to the birth of offspring.
When the stripping is successful, the stripped part, containing the causality, energy, and fate of both Abyssal beings, and with these elements fused together, has at least a 30% chance of becoming an independent entity.
This is why, despite Abyssal beings having no concept of reproduction, extremely long lifespans, no concept of love, and no desire for mating, they still give birth to offspring.
The current question is, given that Delona and Ayesha's 'mother' is the Abyss · Dark Womb, who is their 'father'? How powerful an Abyssal being must it be to attempt to devour one of the Tier-0 strongest anomalous existences, the Abyss Spawn? And faced with this situation, the Abyss · Dark Womb seems to have no intention of retaliating.
Otherwise, Delona and Ayesha would certainly have been consumed as coordinates. Not only were they not consumed, but they were also granted abilities by the Abyss · Dark Womb, and a signature ability like Fate Prediction at that.
If not for the Fate Prediction ability, Su Xiao wouldn't have mistaken Delona and Ayesha for avatars of the Abyss · Dark Womb.
A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves of the Sun Tree. Beneath the tree, the young girl's long hair had turned pitch black. Dressed in a white gown, tears uncontrollably streamed from her completely black eyes. Although Ayesha was usually indifferent to everyone, she had grown up under Lusiva's watch. Therefore, she would never refuse her elder brother Lusiva's requests or wishes, even if it meant death.
The twin sisters' personalities were full of contradictions. Delona seemed lively, gluttonous, cheerful, and never quiet for a moment, but when faced with immense pain, she could accept it with a blank expression. Ayesha was usually cold, indifferent, even aloof, but when faced with the grief of her brother's passing, she cried silently, yet the amount of tears streaming from her eyes was exaggerated, almost like an emoji.
The ground trembled slightly as a metal train came to a stop. The train was over 20 meters long. The front half was the engine, which looked like a monster with backward-curving horns. The rear half had four windows; the first three showed the interior, while the last was blurry, revealing a bedroom compartment inside.
This was Lusiva's [Lord's Train]. The lord had already gifted it to Su Xiao. Coincidentally, this Lord's Train was forged by the Sintris Dwarves, blood oath allies of the Law Destruction Faction.
Originally, a great lord from Eternal Light World had commissioned the Sintris Dwarves to build this train. The entire exterior was made of Sintris metal, showing how wealthy the great lords of Eternal Light World were during its peak.
Thinking about it, during the First Era, the three Transcendent Primordial Worlds — the Sun Faction and the Ancient Dragon Faction were locked in a deadly struggle. It would have been unreasonable for Eternal Light World not to engage in the weapons trade. Following this logic, it was only natural for the great lords of Eternal Light World to be wealthy.
After several transfers, this train arrived at Blazing Sun Star, was obtained by Lusiva, and now came to Su Xiao.
The Lord's Train door opened. As Su Xiao boarded the train, Baha, perched on his shoulder, said, "Ayesha..."
Baha stopped mid-sentence, noticing that Ayesha's hair had turned silver-white, meaning Delona had taken over the body. Baha corrected himself: "Delona, want a ride?"
"No, I'm leaving. I want to go... to the Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberath. I want to see what the world that fought the Sun Faction for two eras is really like."
Delona looked at the Sun Tree, her gaze gradually firming. Then she grinned a sunny smile, full of energy, and said, "I have an older brother who saved the world, so I can't be lacking either."
After saying this, Delona even stuck out her thumb. If she hadn't been holding back, tears would have already burst forth. Seeing that the girl was about to break down crying, Su Xiao had Amu close the compartment door. The metal card-like train key was inserted into the starting device at the very front of the compartment.
The train started. As soon as Su Xiao sat down, a notification appeared.
[You have officially obtained the Lord's Train. This item is a vehicle-type equipment.]
[Lord's Train]
Origin: Void · Mamun Mord · Fifth Production Workshop.
Batch Number: 001-ψ (0.7/Complete).
Quality 1: Overlord Rank.
Quality 2: Eternal Rank.
Tip: The Hunter must choose one of the two equipment quality systems; otherwise, Reincarnation Paradise will cease to authenticate this equipment.
...
The information presented was brief, but it contained a lot of data. For example, the batch number of this train. An ordinary person might not understand it, but Su Xiao had read the Sintris Dwarf · Creation Manual in the Soul Library.
The interpretation of 001-ψ (0.7/Complete) was: 001 represents that this series of vehicles, the Lord's Train, was the first. This at least doubled the value of the Lord's Train. Don't think this item has no market price; if you contacted the Goblin Merchant Guild, they would come to negotiate within half an hour.
In the collection circles of the Void and myriad realms, Sintris Dwarf creations, Second Era Alchemy creations, and the works of the Three Legendary Blacksmiths were definitely top-tier collectibles.
As the first Sintris metal train built by the Sintris Dwarves, even if the Lord's Train retained some performance, even if it couldn't run and was just a piece of scrap metal in the shape of a train, its price would still be several hundred thousand Soul Coins. At its current condition, selling it for 4.5 to 5 million Soul Coins was possible. If in a hurry, 3 million Soul Coins wouldn't be a problem.
Su Xiao wouldn't sell the Lord's Train. Having this train would make things more convenient and safer for him in mission worlds. The time originally spent traveling could be used for other tasks. While using the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array was fast, it required first scouting and setting coordinates. Blind teleportation without coordinates was extremely risky and could land you in some bizarre place.
In other words, with the Lord's Train, Su Xiao's income from a mission world would increase by at least 30%. Given his current income per mission world, selling the Lord's Train would definitely be a huge loss.
The translation of 001-ψ (0.7/Complete) was: This is the first Sintris metal train, authenticated by ψ (Void Tree), with an authentication level of 0.7 (Level 7 high-tier authentication), and it is fully authenticated.
Among the two equipment quality systems, Su Xiao pondered for a moment and chose Overlord Rank. The reason was that if he chose Eternal Rank, the traditional equipment system, the Lord's Train would only be a metal vehicle equipment. Conversely, if he chose Overlord Rank, the Lord's Train would retain its current semi-metal, semi-biological characteristics.
The train's front shell was thick metal, while the inside was metal flesh. Various cables and nerves wrapped around the power core, which, when running at high speed, would gradually glow red-hot like a beast's heart.
The advantage of this choice was that the Lord's Train's burst power was strong enough. To make a simple analogy: if he chose the Eternal Rank traditional system, the Lord's Train would be very stable, with both normal speed and top speed at 10.
If he chose Overlord Rank, as a metal lifeform, the Lord's Train's normal speed would be 8, but its burst speed could reach 30. The burst had a time limit, and after completing one burst run, the power core would overheat, requiring low-speed travel (speed 4-5) for a while to recover to the normal speed of 8.
[Lord's Train]
Origin: Void · Mamun Mord · Fifth Production Workshop.
Quality: Overlord Rank.
Category: Train/Vehicle/Large Weapon.
Durability: 359/7200 points.
Equipment Requirement: Possess the train key.
Equipment Effect 1: Travel Mode (Core · Passive). This train has two modes: Natural Travel Mode and Alternate Space Travel Mode. Due to its unique rail wheels and suspension system, this train can travel smoothly on 98.5% of terrains.
Natural Travel Mode: Travel speed 7.5.
Alternate Space Travel Mode: Travel speed 8.6.
Equipment Effect 2: Furious Beast Ignition (Core · Passive). This train enters an overload burst state. The power core pressure increases to 300%, and travel speed increases to 32, lasting 45 minutes.
Tip: If the train master is in a besieged state, when summoning the Lord's Train, this state can be activated simultaneously. The Lord's Train will smash through obstacles along the way, and the compartment door will open to the maximum extent to facilitate the train master's boarding. Once the train master boards, the train can enter a full lockdown state until the train master deactivates it.
Equipment Effect 3: Level 7 Authentication (Core · Passive). Because this equipment was successfully applied for Level 7 authentication from the Void Tree by the Sintris Dwarves during the First Era, after transforming into Overlord equipment, it lost its corresponding growth method. According to Reincarnation Paradise's authentication balance, this Overlord equipment can be enhanced using Overlord Soul (Large).
Enhancement Method: Reincarnation Paradise · Equipment Enhancement Hall. Hold the train key, place the train key and the corresponding Overlord Soul · Large into the equipment enhancement machine to complete the enhancement.
Tip: Due to the particularity of this enhancement, the enhancement limit is +18.
Equipment Detriment: Maw of Gluttony (Passive). While receiving the benefits of Abyss energy, this equipment has a corresponding detriment. You must provide the Lord's Train with sufficient blood food (flesh, hearts, etc., of powerful supernatural beings) every 10 natural days.
Rating: 5860 points (Overlord equipment rating is 1~6000 points).
Introduction: Due to being parked in an Abyss spread zone for an era, this train has been eroded. While its various performances are damaged, its metal properties have undergone wonderful changes. It possesses both the hardness and stability of metal and the regenerative characteristics of a living being. After being damaged, as long as it devours enough supernatural flesh, the damaged parts can recover.
Price: Cannot be sold.
...
Seeing the attributes of the Lord's Train, Su Xiao stopped it, got off, and walked to the front of the beast-like engine. He took out a dragon heart with a diameter of 2 meters. As soon as he took out the dragon heart, the beast-like engine opened, revealing the metal flesh tissue inside and saw-chain-like teeth.
Su Xiao threw the dragon heart. In just a few seconds, it was shredded by the saw-chain-like teeth. Seeing it devoured like this, he took out another dragon heart.
After Su Xiao fed a total of 150 dragon hearts, even when he took out another dragon heart and threw it at the beast-like engine, it didn't open anymore. Was it full? No, it was stuffed.
Returning to the train, before Su Xiao could control the door to close, it closed automatically, and the train started on its own, targeting the coordinates Su Xiao had set earlier. It seemed that when it came to recognizing the big boss, the Lord's Train was quite wise.
The scenery outside the window flew by. The two rows of seats inside the train were all against the inner walls or windows. Considering that hunting groups often ventured into lightless zones, this arrangement, which could accommodate more people, was reasonable. However, the train's purpose had changed now, and it needed to be modified. Additionally, the bedroom at the rear of the compartment also needed modification.
Although seeing the objects reminded him of the person, these were Lusiva's arrangements during his lifetime. But Su Xiao didn't intend to keep them. Lusiva died after fulfilling his beliefs. When he performed the fate prediction, he knew the outcome. For such an old friend who departed gracefully after completing his mission, rather than being reminded of him by objects, it was better to offer a glass of fine wine alone in the dead of night.
Su Xiao opened the equipment list and removed [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice] from the equipment slot. From the end of the battle, he had a very bad feeling. Now, holding [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice] in his hand, this bad feeling grew stronger.
"Don't break."
Crack~
As if possessed by a prophet, the already strained [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice], upon Su Xiao's words, immediately cracked into several pieces in his hand. Fortunately, he knew a blacksmith. That blacksmith could even repair a long leather coat. Repairing [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice], which had cracked into five pieces, should be within his capabilities...
As if sensing Su Xiao's thoughts, [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice] shattered a second time. This time, it shattered into rice-sized pieces. Seeing this, Su Xiao squinted slightly. He felt that... this might also be salvageable by Lide.
If Lide knew Su Xiao's thoughts, he would definitely reach for his forging hammer and roar with vigor: "I can't!"
As if pitying the blacksmith who was always doing needlework, [Inscription Base · Divine Sacrifice] shattered a third time. This time, it exploded into powder.
"..."
Su Xiao pondered for a moment. He felt that putting it in a bag and going back to ask Lide might not be impossible. Perhaps due to a rare bout of conscience, he decided to give up on this [Inscription Base]. After being overloaded for so long, it was already lucky to have held out until the Sun King was defeated.
He checked the notification list. The kill notifications that had appeared earlier were all there.
[You have killed the Last Blazing Sun Monarch · Ashlot.]
[You have received 80,000 Sun Gold Coins.]
[You have received 32.66% World Source.]
[You have received Golden Skill Points x3.]
[You have received Eternal Rank Chest · Last Monarch.]
[You have received Sun Source Stones x6.]
[You have received Blazing Sun Blood (Unique to this world).]
...
[You have killed the Sun King.]
[You have received 220,000 Sun Gold Coins.]
[You have received 53% World Source (Due to self-sealing for many years, the corresponding World Source has decreased).]
[You have received Golden Skill Points x15.]
[You have received Eternal Rank Chest · Supreme Blazing Sun.]
[You have received Source Matter Chest (Obtained with a certain probability from killing powerful enemies).]
[You have received Sun Source Stones x10.]
...
The harvest was substantial. Closing the notification list, Su Xiao looked at the sun outside the window. At this point, he finally understood why Bounty 5 was named Old Sun, and why the Sun Warriors in the Central District were called Old Sun Guardians.
Among the major forces of this world — the Old Nobles, the Great Library, the Divine Cults, the Soul Academy, and the Dark Cult — the Old Sun Guardians were undoubtedly the strongest. The true name of this strongest force should be Guardians of the Withered Old Sun.
More specifically, the sun of this world had never changed since the First Era. This was abnormal. Conceptually, today's sun is the Blazing Sun, while yesterday's sun is the Old Sun. The sun that had shone on Blazing Sun Star for two and a half eras was actually the same day's sun.
The so-called inheritance of the Blazing Sun Blood was to ensure that the Old Sun could rise as usual while suppressing the Blazing Sun that should have risen today. The reason for the Sun God Clan's stubbornness could be traced back to the Abyss Era of this world.
At that time, the entire world was shrouded in the darkness of the Abyss invasion. In this darkness, the Sun God Clan was still a small settlement. Using a pile of sacred tree bonfires, they temporarily resisted the surrounding darkness and the Abyssal creatures lurking within. But these sacred tree bonfires would go out in a few days.
Waiting for death was more terrifying than facing it. The young First Sun King sat by the sacred tree bonfire, considering how to give his mother and younger brother a chance to survive, and what kind of miracle would allow the carbonized wooden stick in his hand to fight against Abyssal creatures, when a faint light appeared in the pitch-black sky above.
The young Sun King looked up and saw the sun that had pierced through the darkness, giving them a glimmer of light. Even though it was just a pale golden circular outline, the Sun King knew it was the sun protecting them. For some reason, he raised his arms, trying to embrace the sun to praise this sun that had given them new life.
A miracle really happened. The sun in the sky bestowed power upon the Sun King and his people. From that moment, a race called the Sun God Clan rose.
However, after successfully resisting the Abyss and ascending to the throne, the Sun King had no smile. He knew that after the world's order returned to normal, the sun above would soon set, unlike during the Abyss invasion era when this sun had stood proudly in the sky for hundreds of years.
Basking in a day's sunlight, people wouldn't have any special feelings for yesterday's sun. But if they had basked in hundreds of years of sunlight and protection, been granted power, and received responses every time they praised the sun, even the hardest heart wouldn't bear to see this sun set.
The Sun King became the first inheritor of the Blazing Sun Blood. He watched the sun set, endured the night, and then watched it rise again. When he embraced the sun and praised it, receiving a response, the Sun King, who hadn't smiled even upon ascending the throne, finally showed a hint of a smile.
Everything ages, let alone the Old Sun that should have set long ago. Generations of Blazing Sun Blood inheritance had turned the Old Sun above into a withered old sun.
The Old Sun had given the Sun God Clan light in their darkest hour. Of course, they couldn't bear to part with it. Even if it meant becoming the Old Sun, they wanted this sun to radiate supreme brilliance again.
Unfortunately, excessive retention began to bring pain to Blazing Sun Star. The Old Sun finally dimmed and cracked.
Just as Lusiva had questioned the First Sun King: 'King of the Gods, our sun should have set long ago. We are merely the Old Sun. We cannot drag everyone down with us.'
[You have completed Bounty 5 · Old Sun: Witness the Old Sun.]
[The deposit for this bounty is 20 ounces of Space-Time Power. Due to the extremely high difficulty of this bounty, upon completion, you will receive 100 to 2500 times the additional bounty.]
[Judging...]
[You have obtained Moon Blood, Sun Fragment, World Core (this world), defeated the First Sun King, and completed the Main Mission · Witness.]
[You will receive 49,920 ounces of Space-Time Power.]
[You have applied for authentication in advance. This bounty reward will be more inclined towards Space-Time Stone Fragments.]
[Tip: As it complies with the income rules, this authentication application has been successfully approved.]
[You have received Space-Time Stone Fragments x4307 (These are equivalents and can be sold to Reincarnation Paradise at any time for 43,070 ounces of Space-Time Power).]
[You have received Revenge Soul (Using this item on the Awakening Stele can unlock the advanced Law Destruction abilities on the stele. This item is equivalent to 1,600 ounces of Space-Time Power in this judgment).]
[You have received Strong Soul x3 (Using this item on the Awakening Stele can unlock the Law Destruction general abilities on the stele. This item is equivalent to 5,250 ounces of Space-Time Power in this judgment).]
...
It seemed like a bountiful harvest, but considering he still owed Reincarnation Paradise 85,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, the newly acquired 43,920 ounces seemed insufficient.
He opened the Title Shop authenticated by the Void Tree. A [Title Chest (★★★★★)] cost 120 Sun Gold Coins. He exchanged for a total of 3,182 [Title Chests (★★★★★)].
[You have opened Title Chest (★★★★★) x3182.]
[You have received Nine-Star No-Attribute Title x3182.]
...
Su Xiao materialized the Title Refining Disc authenticated by Reincarnation Paradise and began refining the titles. Since they were all Nine-Star No-Attribute Titles, the refining was fast. It was essentially an accumulation of pure title energy.
When Su Xiao obtained 5 Limit Refined · 4 times Nine-Star No-Attribute Titles, he set [Abyssal Shadow (Limit Refined · 4 times)] in the main title slot, inserted 5 Limit Refined · 4 times Nine-Star No-Attribute Titles into the five surrounding slots, and began the title refinement.
[The success rate for this refinement is: 100%.]
[Do you wish to proceed with this refinement?]
[Refinement confirmed. Estimated time to complete: 36 hours and 50 minutes.]
...
Once this refinement was complete, [Abyssal Shadow] would reach the pinnacle of titles. This title reaching its peak proved one thing: if luck isn't enough, strength makes up for it.
He took out the 16 Sun Source Stones obtained this time, then materialized the Sun Lord Title. One by one, the Sun Source Stones melted into liquid and were absorbed by the Sun Lord. This metal title, which was a few sizes larger than a gold coin, now showed a dark gold texture. Previously, it was brilliant gold. After absorbing 18 special Sun Source Stones, it became dark gold.
He took out the Blazing Sun Blood and controlled the Sun Lord to absorb it. The Sun Lord began to undergo a qualitative change. All the previous accumulations now burst forth.
[Tip: You are about to obtain a Divine Clan Holy Emblem. However, because you have caused the Sun Lord Title to absorb a total of 50 Sun Source Stones, you can choose one of the following Divine Clan Holy Emblem tiers.]
[The following Divine Clan Holy Emblems share a common characteristic: If you face death, you will not die completely. After a false death of 30 minutes, you will regain vitality due to the Warm Sunlight effect. Damaged body parts will gradually regenerate until your health recovers to 30%.]
[Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Body (Paradise Rank · One-time Enhancement Item): When you use this Holy Emblem, over the next 10 natural days, your body will be greatly nourished. True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence, True Charm +85 points. Current health increased by 15%. Current mana increased by 10%.]
Tip: If the Sun Lord absorbs at least 16 Sun Source Stones, it can transform into the Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Body.
[Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Blood (Paradise Rank · One-time Enhancement Item): When you use this Holy Emblem, over the next 8 natural days, your body will be greatly nourished. True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina +70 points. Current health increased by 45%. Current mana increased by 5%.]
Tip: If the Sun Lord absorbs at least 32 Sun Source Stones, it can transform into the Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Blood.
[Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Soul (Paradise Rank · One-time Enhancement Item): When you use this Holy Emblem, over the next 5 natural days, your body will be greatly nourished. True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence +50 points. Current health increased by 25%. Current mana increased by 25%. Soul Strength increased by 200 points.]
Tip: If the Sun Lord absorbs 50 Sun Source Stones, it can transform into the Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Soul (Originally, there was no such characteristic Divine Clan Holy Emblem. However, because the Hunter exceeded the limit in obtaining Sun Source Stones, according to the income authentication mechanism, this characteristic Divine Clan Holy Emblem has been authenticated. This Holy Emblem is constructed based on your personal situation).
Tip: To use this Divine Clan Holy Emblem, you need over 90 points of Abyss Resistance.
...
It seemed that [Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Body] increased Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intelligence, and Charm. However, Su Xiao's current Strength, Agility, and Intelligence were all 732 points, and Stamina was 777 points. Under these circumstances, using [Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Body] would result in a significant overflow.
At this stage, his body attributes couldn't exceed 800 points. Moreover, since this was a permanent enhancement item, the remaining enhancement wouldn't be saved if it reached the 800-point cap, to be applied later after breaking through. Instead, once the cap was reached, the remaining enhancement would dissipate from his body.
Converted into attribute points, this would waste 198 points of True Attribute Point enhancement, a huge loss. Although [Divine Clan Holy Emblem · Soul] also slightly overflowed in True Stamina, the 200-point increase in Soul Strength was something he urgently needed.
Recently, the Demon Spirit had become more active, vaguely feeling like it could temporarily break free from his restraints. With this 200-point Soul Strength boost, the Demon Spirit would be completely suppressed by him for a long time.
Su Xiao looked out the window. From the changing scenery, they were almost at the God Exile Grounds. The Lord's Train was indeed fast. This time, he was going to collect the Dark Gold Ore. This was an exceptionally rare ore. Don't underestimate this Dark Gold Ore; it was the beginning of cooperation with the old immortals of the Void and myriad realms, all of whom were at the Supreme level.
...
Dawnlight City, evening. Southern District · Tasha Port, Pier 5 residential area, rail bus station. The rail bus stopped. Secretary Yuyuna, who had been busy all day, got off. The drastic changes in Twilight City and the sudden rejuvenation of this world had made Dawnlight City, which was neutral, kind, and striving for development, the top choice for homeless civilians from Twilight City.
Compared to the apocalypse descending, being devoured by the darkness that burst forth from the cracked Old Sun, and dying, being homeless now was truly a kind of luck. At least they were alive, and their world was stable and safe, no longer plagued by calamity nights, blood nights, moon beasts, or mad beasts.
The nights now were quiet and cool. Since it was late summer, the chirping of insects could be heard. Moreover, the land was no longer barren. Seeds could be sown and crops grown. The fresh water was clean, no longer requiring costly multiple filtrations before drinking. The water sources now were not only free of bitterness but also sweet and clear. Almost all Twilight City civilians were shocked by one thing: fresh water was such a delicious thing.
Compared to all this, temporary homelessness was nothing. At least nine out of ten Twilight City civilians thought so.
For a large city, especially Dawnlight City, population was of utmost importance. Dawnlight City's rise in this opportunity was inevitable, but it was unknown what legendary stories this neutral and kind faction would create.
Compared to these, Yuyuna, who was exhausted to the point of weak legs after a full day's work, just wanted to go home, have a good meal, take a shower, and throw herself onto the big bed in her bedroom, enjoying the bliss of total relaxation.
Suddenly, Yuyuna stopped. She was now facing a difficult choice. Taking the alley ahead would get her home faster, while taking the main street would take at least 5 minutes more. The temptation of going home for dinner made her decide to take the risk and step into the alley ahead.
The alley was as quiet as ever. Yuyuna couldn't help but laugh. She had been kidnapped twice in the previous three days, which had given her a bit of persecution paranoia. How could she possibly be kidnapped again...
Yuyuna's footsteps stopped because she saw, a few meters ahead, on the steps beside a house, sat one person, one dog, and one demon hawk. This immediately made her pupils constrict slightly. Her naive eyes were full of a profound understanding of the world's dangers.
As for why he came to kidnap Yuyuna again, Su Xiao's side mission · Investigate Intelligence was completed, so of course, he had to come to submit the mission.
"In my opinion... there's... no need to go through the formalities..."
Before Yuyuna could finish her sentence, her vision turned into her favorite orange color, as an orange sack was thrown over her head.
Several dozen meters behind, the few guards responsible for secretly protecting Yuyuna looked at each other. Logically, they should rush forward now. But having witnessed the Realm Lightning pillar, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, crashing down from the city wall earlier, and later learning whose ability this Realm Lightning was, coupled with the overnight cancellation of the Law Destroyer wanted posters, the few guards tacitly decided to immediately call the City Lord to report.
A few minutes later, in the City Lord's office, City Lord · Shalein sat behind her desk, holding a communicator with a dazed expression. At this moment, she could feel the complex feelings of the local faction leaders after the ancestral Law Destroyers of the Second Era had resisted the Abyss invasion. When the apocalyptic crisis was resolved by the Law Destruction Faction, congratulations, the Law Destroyers might become the source of a new danger.
To be honest, Shalein was deeply grateful to that Law Destroyer at this moment. The problem was, now he had kidnapped her most trusted confidant. Coupled with earlier incidents — being schemed against regarding her close friend, having the Soul Tree taken right in front of her, and having the supernatural material treasury looted — all these things combined created a contradictory feeling of gratitude and resentment, making Shalein almost want to put on a pain mask.
