"Hm?"
Su Ye stared, slightly taken aback, at the panel ssage that had suddenly appeared.
’Purify and decompose divinity?’
This new function on the panel was a bit of a surprise to Su Ye.
But on second thought, it made sense.
After all, among the four Divine Seeds he currently possessed, hadn’t the [Soul-Chasing Life-Reaping] one co from the panel itself?
That Divine Seed had been ford by combining the three major traits of his exclusive skill, the Whale-Hunting Spear!
Obviously, ’shaping’ a Divine Seed was far more difficult than ’purifying’ or ’decomposing’ divinity...
’An unexpected bonus...’
Su Ye quickly accepted this new developnt.
"List the experience point costs for each option."
In response to his command, the text on the panel before him changed.
[1. Purify (Cost: 2,573 Experience Points)]
[2. Decompose (Cost: 613 Experience Points)]
’Purification requires over twenty-five hundred experience points?’
Su Ye frowned slightly.
Not counting what he had gained upon first arrival,
the total number of experience points he had accumulated while exploring the Far South Continent was just under three thousand.
’In that case, decomposition is the more cost-effective option...’
After all, resources should be used where they matter most.
And according to his spiritual senses and the panel’s prompts,
his compatibility with the Fertility Divinity was very low!
Su Ye could even sense that if he chose to refine this divinity into his own Divine Seed, the Divine Technique he would obtain...
...would most likely be a support-type Divine Technique like Spring Rain or Bountiful Years.
After all, according to the doctrine, the Goddess of Fertility’s divine domain was ’agriculture’—a secondary field of the ’Life’ rule.
’If it were ’Life’ divinity, I might have been a little interested...’
’But agriculture...’
’Forget it... I have no interest in becoming a spirit farr!’
Spending a large amount of experience points to purify this Fertility Divinity, with which he had low compatibility, just to turn it into his own Divine Seed, was not a good choice.
Su Ye twirled a lock of hair around his finger, and after a mont of thought, he made his decision.
"Decompose."
Six hundred and thirteen experience points were instantly consud.
HUMMM.
The divinity crystal in Su Ye’s hand trembled lightly.
An unknown power from the void acted upon the divinity crystal.
This power wasn’t particularly strong.
To Su Ye’s senses,
the fluctuations it emitted were barely comparable to a full-power strike from a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
However,
the divinity crystal’s reaction was incredibly violent!
HUMMM.
Like a falling domino, the divinity crystal shattered and disintegrated into points of pure white light within a few breaths’ ti!
The pure white specks of light flowed into the panel like fireflies.
[Creation Points: 42]
Creation Points—a quantification of the Power of Rules.
According to the panel’s feedback, Su Ye knew that 50 Creation Points could raise a newly ford Divine Seed to the Mid-stage Crystal level.
To raise a Divine Seed to the late stage, however, required 100 points.
Of course, Su Ye could also distribute the points evenly. When he didn’t have enough Creation Points to reach a milestone, he could disperse them to nourish his four existing Divine Seeds.
However, the cost-effectiveness of doing so was a bit low.
’After all, my four Divine Seeds have all already reached the Mid-stage Crystal level.’
’Nourishing them separately won’t result in a significant improvent...’
Su Ye pondered for a mont and figured out the best way to use the Creation Points!
—To enhance a new Divine Seed!
This way, a new Divine Seed could easily catch up to the progress of his original ones, saving Su Ye from having to focus on nurturing it and slowing down his Magical Power cultivation!
The information he had gained from hunting the Fertile Divine Abomination was making his plans more and more complete.
A glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes as a blueprint began to form in his mind.
’Kill divine scions, obtain compatible Divine Seeds and Creation Points...’
’If everything goes smoothly... perhaps I can achieve Core Formation with nine techniques within thirty years?’
Su Ye couldn’t help but let his imagination wander.
...
「A mont later.」
Su Ye reined in his thoughts, his eyes returning to a state of calm.
He looked down and swept the area with his Divine Sense. He saw that the arena for the pre-divine martial contest was now filled with finely dressed, trembling natives.
The rulers of Aino City.
mbers of the royal family, the temple’s upper echelon... all had arrived. Among them was the heavily injured King of Aino, who was being supported by others.
"Heh..."
’Quite clever of them...’
Su Ye chuckled softly and thought for a mont.
’Since it’s co to this, I’ll give them a chance.’
Su Ye’s original plan was to loot and plunder Aino City after killing the divine abomination, then leave imdiately, steering the Ghostly Flood Dragon back to Yaoguang!
Make a quick buck and run!
After all, he had estimated that killing the Fertile Divine Abomination would likely cause his World Rejection Level to skyrocket!
Under such circumstances,
stationing himself in Aino City to fight the army of Tewa Kan City was not a wise move!
Besides, he had no responsibility for these natives in Aino City. He couldn’t care less if they died!
Making a couple of mory Stones to record the sights of Aino City, preserving so precious video data... taking so cultural relics to preserve their heritage... that would be more than enough to do right by these natives.
But now...
the increase in his World Rejection Level was minor...
Perhaps he could try to take control of this city?
With that in mind,
Su Ye put away his Moonfall Halberd and descended slowly, riding on his Spiritual Qi Clouds.
...
「The Arena.」
Bishop Dazan was kneeling on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Marina, you know ..."
"I never approved of the decision to exile you back then! It was that old fool, the King! He forced to agree..."
Before the King could respond,
a mber of the royal family stood up, filled with righteous indignation.
He retorted,
"Dazan!"
"What slander are you spewing?!"
"When Priestess Marina was exiled, you and Moluo were the most eager to see it happen!"
"Nonsense!" Dazan grew frantic.
"Nothing of the sort ever happened."
The two sides cursed at each other, shifting bla without a shred of decorum.
Watching the farcical performance of these so-called ’great figures’, Nais, who stood behind Marina and beside Muer, had a strange expression on his face, his heart filled with a storm of emotions.
Who could have imagined it?
That Marina, who had been exiled for twenty years, would make such a coback?
And from the looks of it... she had pledged allegiance to an incredibly noble Divine Son?!
Nais couldn’t help but glance at the sky, where the Ghostly Flood Dragon hung high above, looming over Aino City... Such a creation had to be the work of a god’s mighty power!
What’s more, that Divine Son had personally slain a divine abomination!
Aino City... the winds of change were blowing!
Nais had no doubt about it.
He was now incredibly thankful, thinking, ’Thankfully, I was quite friendly to Lord Muer... which has allowed the honor of serving His Highness the Divine Son...’
Thinking of this,
Nais felt a sense of superiority as he watched the disgraceful ’great figures’ before him.
And just then,
a figure cloaked in black robes, wreathed in glowing clouds, slowly descended.
A spiritual pressure as vast as the ocean tides swept out in all directions!
"My Lord!"
"Your Highness, the Divine Son!"
Everyone in the arena prostrated themselves, utterly reverent!
