Once the undead creature saw Yusuf Zuck open the bottle, he imdiately beca tense. One must know that it contained the spiritual energy of four ancient beings, along with the souls of these great beings.
Although these ancient beings had lost their physical bodies, in terms of spiritual prowess, they could still easily slaughter with a single thought.
Fearing that Yusuf Zuck might make a mistake, the undead sprang up, tried to release his realm, and then created a halo, enveloping them both and the bottle.
Yusuf Zuck did not stop him. The saying "better safe than sorry" rang true. In this world, if one wasn’t careful, they might be devoured unknowingly.
As the bottle was opened, Yusuf flicked his finger and inhaled deeply, drawing out a ray of light, which he then wrapped tightly within a small circle of fire at his fingertip.
"Ah, bring the other two bottles over as well. This person, with three souls in one body, is quite extraordinary." Yusuf couldn’t help but praise the strength of that ten-year-old child, likely a top-tier ancient being.
Imdiately, the undead handed the other two bottles to Yusuf, who then, using the sa thod, concentrated the light from all three bottles into the fire circle.
The fire circle was fueled by the Eternal Fire. Yusuf had mastered the control of the Eternal Fire to perfection, shaping it however he wished.
"Zzzt zzzt~" As the three rays ca together, they imdiately triggered a chain reaction, and the face of a grimacing entity appeared within the fire circle. This face was illusory, rely an image, and it belonged to that ten-year-old child.
"Gabriel Freeman, I admit defeat. It’s up to you whether you wish to fight or kill," said the child with a tenacious spirit, showing no sign of pleading.
Yusuf smiled and responded, "If I wanted to kill you, you’d already be dead. Answer a few questions, and maybe you won’t die."
"You won’t kill ?" The child hesitated. "Really won’t kill?"
"If I wanted to kill you, why would I be sitting here talking to you? I’d simply finish you off."
"Ask away, I’ll tell you what I know, and what I don’t know is simply unknown to ."
"Alright, what’s your na?" Yusuf asked lightly.
"I am Forrest Christensen."
"Forrest Christensen?" Yusuf nodded. "Are you the president of the Salvation Association?"
"Yes, I am the president of the Salvation Association. Today’s defeat at the hands of Gabriel Freeman is truly acknowledged. Gabriel Freeman’s reputation precedes him; it was my carelessness."
Yusuf chuckled and shook his head. "Then let ask, what has happened to my Empire’s Prince, Sun Star?"
"The owner of the Divine Stone?" Forrest took a deep breath and said, "That person stealthily visited my Salvation Association, was defeated in one move, left the Divine Stone, and then used a Divine Shuttle to break through space and escape. That shuttle was extraordinary, incredibly fast."
"Is he not dead?" Yusuf took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, but he has lost his physical body. I acknowledge that. It was unwise of him to trespass my Salvation Association without notice."
"As long as he’s not dead." Yusuf also let out a breath and thought for a mont before asking, "Do you have any other experts in the Salvation Association?"
"No, the Salvation Association is newly founded by , with financial sources mainly from its mbers."
"Then why do you use spiritual power?" the undead creature interjected.
Forrest pondered for a while, then said, "To be honest, the thod I practice is a divine soul technique called Soul Refining Art. I currently have three souls, but to practice a fourth, I need an endless supply of spiritual power, which led to this auction."
"And what about the Son of Creation being auctioned?" the undead creature questioned.
"Naturally, I have him. If you both wish, I shall offer him up." Forrest, knowing he could no longer escape, was straightforward, fearing that hiding would provoke anger from the other party.
"What is the Son of Creation?" Yusuf inquired curiously.
"You don’t know?" Forrest was greatly surprised.
"I’ve recently returned and truly have no idea," Yusuf shook his head.
"The Son of Creation is a remarkable treasure unearthed when heaven and earth trembled recently. Those who obtained these treasures could be ordinary people or beings, or powerful forces—chosen by fate. These lucky ones gain the protection of the heavens during the transition of eras and are spared from the devouring power of an era, allowing them to enter the next era—a concept known as ’chosen ones’."
"Heaven never cuts off all hope; Heavenly Dao always leaves a lifeline for the living beings. This lifeline refers to these Sons of Creation. The Son of Creation I obtained is a child with no cultivation or understanding, still in a state of ignorance."
"Release him and let take a look." Yusuf said with curiosity.
"With the Eternal Fire present here, I fear I can’t release him," Forrest said oddly.
"No worries, you can release him. My Eternal Fire will burn only who I intend, and not harm others."
"You can control it at will?" Forrest was greatly amazed.
"Release him; I want to see the Son of Creation," Yusuf smiled and said.
"Alright, catch." Suddenly, Forrest wriggled, and a little girl was expelled.
Just as the girl was about to touch the fire circle, it divided into two—one wrap around Forrest, the other the girl. The girl remained unhard, landed safely, and then the fire circle disappeared.
Indeed, she was a seven or eight-year-old girl, terrified to her core, trembling all over, with no cultivation. But Yusuf could see that her body contained a strange energy and traces of era power!
"She discovered a pearl, and this pearl carries a unique energy, capable of absorbing traces of era power from the unseen forces of the universe. Though it’s little, she doesn’t need to practice or extract it; the era power naturally flows to her, akin to having a Spirit Gathering Array within her absorbing all era power, gradually strengthening," Forrest explained.
"Oh," Yusuf nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Such a young child, being bought and sold like this, ultimately to be killed and deprived of her life—this is wicked. Guards, take the girl down and provide good care. Place her in the palace." Yusuf called out towards the outside of the hall.
"Yes, sir." The palace steward ran in imdiately, picked the girl up, and left.
Yusuf then asked, "You are an expert from four eras. Do you know if there are other era experts in Transient City?"
"There should be, but for now, no strong ones have been found. There might be a few from four eras, but none from five eras."
"Understood, and you..." Yusuf was about to ask more when suddenly soone outside the hall announced loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort have arrived."
"Uh... Crown Prince? Crown Princess Consort?" Yusuf was a bit puzzled. What Crown Prince? He hadn’t established any Crown Prince.
"Oh gosh, it’s that silly boy Big Bull and Rene Brennan. They’ve returned, previously seen in the city," the undead creature slapped his thigh.
"Ah? My silly son and daughter-in-law have co looking for ? Oh! Quickly let them in..." Yusuf excitedly leapt several ters high, darting outside the hall like the wind.
"Gabriel Freeman, Gabriel Freeman, how will you deal with ? What will happen to ?" Forrest shouted anxiously, as Gabriel Freeman left him unattended.
