Chapter 12: God Hunt
After closing the rankings, Su Xiao opened the world communication platform. Entering the world communication platform was naturally not to watch the excitement, but for an important matter. He and Kaiser had looted the Beast King's treasury and obtained a very interesting rare item: [Golden Statue Fragment ×2 Pieces (Small)].
[Golden Statue Fragment]
Origin: Eberas (Age of Gods)
Effect: ???
Introduction: One of the remnants of the gods, condensed from Source Matter power.
Selling Price: Can be sold to Reincarnation Paradise to obtain 6 Golden Skill Points.
……
If it were merely a curiosity that could be exchanged for "Golden Skill Points," Su Xiao would consider it valuable but wouldn't be so concerned. The key point was that the item's origin was this very world.
Su Xiao desperately needed Golden Skill Points because of his "Demon Spirit Awakening" ability. This ability was upgraded using Golden Skill Points. Generally, such X-type abilities would reach the absolute max level of X after 5 to 7 points.
However, "Demon Spirit Awakening" had already reached +19 without any sign of maxing out. The main purpose of upgrading this ability was to increase the Demon Spirit's strength.
This was because, by the time he reached the Supreme rank, the Abyss Descendants he would have to fight required an exaggerated level of Demon Spirit strength to slay. Also, Su Xiao had a plan: to make the Demon Spirit "overstuffed" in a short time. With the suppression of his current right arm, the "Abyss System Source Energy" devoured and consumed by the Demon Blade could then be enjoyed solely by Su Xiao himself.
Splitting the enhancement of a "Demon Spirit Source Matter" equally with the Demon Spirit would permanently increase Su Xiao's health by 50,000 points and Abyss Resistance by 1 point. If he monopolized it, it would be 100,000 health points and 2 points of Abyss Resistance.
As for what to do if the Demon Spirit refused to digest this "Abyss System Source Energy" at that time, there was no need to worry. Ultimately, the Demon Spirit was Su Xiao's ability; even if it was special, it would still be controlled by him.
The current problem was that the clues for the [Golden Statue Fragment] were practically nonexistent. He had the causality-type Xilin investigate, and the result was that this item, spanning two entire eras, had all its causality and origins turned to ashes of time over the long years of those two eras, vanishing without a trace.
Xilin's exact words were: if anyone could trace the origin of the [Golden Statue Fragment], she would twist her own head off and give it to Bubu to kick around as a ball.
Su Xiao didn't pay much attention to Xilin's words, because he was confident that someone could use the [Golden Statue Fragment] to know the general whereabouts of the entire "Golden Statue." This thing might be worth hundreds, or even thousands, of Golden Skill Points. Even if he split it fifty-fifty with that person, it would be enough to temporarily make the Blade Demon Spirit "overstuffed."
White Night (Reincarnation Paradise): “[Golden Statue Fragment], can you still see the remnants of fate? If so, fifty-fifty split after it's done.”
Shenfu (Dawn Paradise): “I'll give it a try.”
Siluo'er (Death Paradise): “Witnessing two big shots making a deal, I hereby present a butt-shaking dance.”
Mo'en (Death Paradise): “You're a Supreme now too, Siluo'er. You need to mind the face of our Death Paradise. This is the communication area, not the lawless zone.”
Siluo'er (Death Paradise): “Alright, alright, I know. Why are you acting like an old father? You're already a Super-Top-Tier Supreme, and you even have hope of reaching the 'Supreme Peak,' why are you still so naggy?”
Mo'en (Death Paradise): “This is for your own good. How about this, I'm near you. I'll teleport over and talk to you about this matter.”
Siluo'er (Death Paradise): “Don't come over here! I was wrong! Last time you caught me and lectured me for a whole day, I still have nightmares about it occasionally, with someone constantly lecturing me. I really was wrong! Don't come over!!”
Siluo'er (Death Paradise): “Hey! Did you teleport behind me?”
Fire Mage (Holy Light Paradise): “Hilarious. This little chatterbox won't be talking much for the next few days. She'll just have to follow Mo'en and listen to his lectures.”
Shenfu (Dawn Paradise): “Found the clue. Let's talk in person.”
White Night (Reincarnation Paradise): “Alright.”
……
Su Xiao sent his current coordinates to Shenfu. As for why he trusted Shenfu so much, it was still thanks to Xilin.
Although Xilin couldn't use causality to discern the origin of the [Golden Statue Fragment], she could, to a certain extent, divine the whereabouts of other powerhouses within this world, after all, she was a Supreme-level causality user.
Su Xiao only asked Xilin three questions.
