Chapter 351: Relic of the Old Days, Triggering the Ultimate Hidden Quest
Lufas really wanted to rush in front of Gui Ji and confront him face to face.
But the entire Ethereal Dinsion was in complete chaos at the mont, and he didn’t dare run around recklessly.
If he were to be blocked midway by the Original Pact or so other aggressive Void Lords, he could very well end up dead.
His strength was indeed formidable, but not to the extent of being able to act with impunity.
Still, if he didn’t clear things up now, trying to explain later would likely be aningless.
What a disaster!
All his scheming led to nothing: he failed to kill the leader of the Original Pact, failed to kill Bai Fu, and among the three Void Lords who were on good terms with him, two had died. In the end, he even got labeled a "Void Traitor."
So miserable—who could he even reason with now?
No one.
Lufas only knew one thing: he could no longer stay in the Void.
Ever since he first ca into contact with a Void Lord Core decades ago, a fiery ambition had been ignited within him, along with an unshakable belief that he was the one destined by fate.
He had always believed he would achieve greatness—sothing greater than even the founders of the Three Universal Civilizations. Like becoming the brightest star in the universe, worshipped by countless people.
Even though he had repeatedly encountered setbacks on his path to greatness, his confidence never wavered.
It was just so hardship—who among the greats hadn’t faced adversity?
But—
“Is the hardship I’ve endured a bit too much?”
First, he provoked the Three Universal Civilizations, then he fell out with the Apostolic Holy City. After that, his hotown was inexplicably raided by the Supernova Warband, and now he had simultaneously fallen out with Bai Fu, the Original Pact, and the entire Void.
Lufas was numb.
The whole world was his enemy—damn it, this was literally his life now!
Even he had to admit: he was terrifying.
But this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.
Thinking back carefully, Lufas realized that aside from provoking the Three Universal Civilizations—his own decision—the rest of the incidents had all been accidents.
One accident was tolerable, but so many in a row—it was hard not to despair.
“To seek and not obtain, to lose battle after battle, to stop at the level of Void Lord—was this my fate?”
Lufas really wanted to shout that he didn’t believe in fate.
But he couldn’t.
Even if he shouted it aloud, he wouldn’t believe himself.
He was truly crushed, and crushed badly.
Now, he didn’t even know where he should go next.
Find Bai Fu?
Ha, as if reconciliation were possible.
What a joke.
Even soone as honest as Bai Fu wouldn’t reconcile with him.
As for the Original Pact, they were hell-bent on wiping out all Void Lords.
"The Apostolic Holy City most likely won’t bother with either. My only options are the Saint and Corona."
Having fled the Void at top speed, Lufas imdiately contacted Corona.
Corona, upon receiving the ssage, froze.
“You escaped the Void and want to join us?”
Oh, what a coincidence—we just escaped from the Apostolic Holy City ourselves. Right now, the Supre God’s disciples are probably already calling for a manhunt on us.
Lufas: “......”
Holy shit, this universe!
Lufas ntally collapsed.
How was one supposed to play this universe OL (online life)?
I don’t believe in fate. I seriously don’t believe in it at all!
He decided not to seek anyone anymore. Since the Ethereal Dinsion had already branded him a traitor, he’d go all in. With the Original Pact launching a full-scale invasion, he’d seize the chance to strike back—success or death!
……
While Lufas was busy playing mind gas with other Void Lords, Bai Fu was slowly absorbing the newly acquired Void Lord Core in the Ethereal Realm.
The Void Lord Core was different from the True Spirit Marrow.
It wasn’t just the nucleus of a Void Lord’s power—it was a "micro-universe" forged from their lifeti of strength.
Thus, after killing Gui Ji, Bai Fu obtained not only Gui Ji’s power but also most of his treasured possessions.
However, since she hadn’t fully absorbed Gui Ji’s Void Lord Core yet, she wasn’t sure what exactly he had been hiding.
"Assimilation progress: 2.23%. At this rate, it’ll take a few days to fully absorb this Void Lord Core. Well, can’t be helped. I don’t have enough Void gene fragnts. As long as it can be fused, that’s enough."
What made Bai Fu happy was that after beginning the fusion with the Void Lord Core, her racial potential rating had started to rise—albeit very slowly—and the corruption from the Old Day’s Rot had also been partially suppressed. That ant she was on the right path.
“Now it just depends on what kind of ss the Original Pact and the Void will stir up.”
Bai Fu was full of anticipation.
But what ca first was a ssage from the Apostolic Holy City.
“Bai Fu Apostle, the Supre God’s disciple has suddenly returned!”
The ssage ca from Sui Xi, who relayed the situation unfolding on the Holy Land Star.
……
After returning to the Holy Land Star, the Supre God’s disciple imdiately assessed the damages, then flew into a rage and ordered a manhunt for the Saint and Corona.
As for the other mbers of the Ten Saints Council, including the First Seat Kaide, they were all forcefully dragged to the Holy Land Star and subjected to extrely cruel torture.
Whether it was due to extre stubbornness or so other reason, no matter how much the Supre God’s disciple tortured them, none of the Ten Saints Council mbers revealed any helpful information to recapture the Saint and Corona.
In a fit of rage, the Supre God’s disciple executed them all with extre penalties. No amount of pleading softened his heart.
“You’ll die a horrible death!”
Kaide cursed in fury.
Now, he only had regret.
If he had known things would co to this, why did he do bad things back then?
If he had just gotten along with Bai Fu, even if not her close friend, even becoming her loyal dog would have left him in a far better situation than now!
Children, if there’s a next life, never go against Bai Fu!
After disposing of the Ten Saints Council, the Supre God’s disciple still hadn’t cooled down.
The real issue wasn’t their lives—it was the fate of the Fourth Apostle.
If the Fourth Apostle was truly dead, when would his plans be able to proceed?
“Search. Find it. I don’t believe it died like that—it’s an Apostle, after all. It fused with part of the True Spirit Marrow of the God of the Ethereal Realm!”
Under his orders, the entire Holy Land Star mobilized to search for the Fourth Apostle.
This went on for hours, and just as the Supre God’s disciple was falling into despair, the Fourth Apostle suddenly appeared on its own.
Overjoyed, the Supre God’s disciple even hugged it in excitent.
But what he didn’t know was that, deep inside, the Fourth Apostle already saw him as a mortal enemy.
Go ahead and act.
The Fourth Apostle sneered inwardly.
Don’t think I don’t know the Saint and Corona were sent by you to kill .
You failed this ti—but what will you try next?
Since you want to kill , don’t bla for not playing nice.
Before eting with the Supre God’s disciple, the Fourth Apostle secretly visited several followers known for their animosity toward him.
It was fully confident that it could win them over, turning them into key pieces for taking down the Supre God’s disciple.
“I’ll take care of things here. You go back and rest.”
After sending the Fourth Apostle away, the Supre God’s disciple furrowed his brows.
He felt he could no longer leave the Apostle who had been stirring up trouble near the Raya Civilization unchecked.
If this continued, one day it would surely cause a true catastrophe. A way must be found to eliminate it.
The Supre God’s disciple was deep in thought when suddenly soone ca to report that a secret related to the Undying Ones had been discovered.
“What secret?”
The ssenger explained nervously, saying that not long ago, when the Holy Land Star was attacked, he had accidentally discovered that the Undying Ones’ representative, Wind-Rising Stars, had been whispering with that attacker.
“They only exchanged a few words before the attacker left quickly. But after that attacker left, Wind-Rising Stars suddenly beca extrely agitated, as if he had won a grand prize. I didn’t hear clearly everything he muttered to himself, but I did hear sothing like ‘all must beco inferior before ’.”
“？”
The Supre God’s disciple’s expression gradually darkened.
All beco inferior?
That line clearly wasn’t said to the attacker. Otherwise, there was no need to add the word “all.”
So...
“Is he planning to turn all of us into inferiors?”
Good, very good!
The Supre God’s disciple laughed from fury.
Of course. These Undying Ones were brought by the Saints and Corona—how could there not be any problems with them?
“Put them under strict surveillance. Don’t rush to arrest them yet. I still have great use for them.”
Murderous intent surged in the Supre God’s disciple’s heart, but Wind-Rising Stars remained oblivious. He was still imrsed in the joy of triggering a hidden storyline, smiling at everyone he t, hardly even insulting others in the Community anymore.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—don’t underestimate a poor youth, my friends!
After so much suffering, at last, it was ti for Wind-Rising Stars to soar.
“Go on and laugh, you fool!”
The Supre God’s disciple’s foul mood finally eased.
But within just over ten minutes, he received another wave of bad news.
——The Three Universal Civilizations had deployed a massive number of Dinsional Bombs. The collapse of dinsions had cut off many routes leading to them. Now, it would take the Apostolic Holy City several tis, or even dozens of tis longer than before, to reach the Three Universal Civilizations’ outposts.
Not only had the travel ti been stretched, but the risks faced by advancing fleets would also increase sharply.
Bang!
In his rage, the Supre God’s disciple smashed his own statue to ashes with a single punch.
……
“It seems we don’t have to worry about attacks from the Apostolic Holy City for the ti being.”
Hearing Sui Xi’s words, Bai Fu let her tense heart relax slightly.
But she still dared not lower her guard.
Whether it was the Apostolic Holy City, the Void Lifeforms, the Apostles, or the Original Pact, all bore hostility toward her.
Even though, after this recent breakthrough, she had officially stepped into the ranks of the Star Sea’s apex, she still had to continue finding ways to strengthen herself. Only by doing so could she survive in this chaotic world of rampaging demons.
And the most direct path to further power was nothing other than completing her fourth Divine tamorphosis and unlocking a new evolutionary path.
Bai Fu opened her Quest Panel.
The requirents for her fourth tamorphosis quest were——
【Synthesize Ethereal Realm Particle-0/1
Psionic Attribute-6/9
Racial Potential Rating-96.1/98
Kingslayer (kill a target of total level 260 or higher)-1/1
Omniscient One (Beyond the Stars storyline exploration)-6.9%/8%】
Compared to her third tamorphosis, the difficulty of her fourth quest had skyrocketed several tis.
The hardest condition to achieve was, naturally, synthesizing the Ethereal Realm Particle.
“Again this one… how in the world am I supposed to make Élisée tell the thod without arousing suspicion?”
Bai Fu sighed.
Fortunately, the other conditions weren’t too difficult for her to complete.
“Let’s go back. It’s only a matter of digesting the Void Sovereign’s core. No need to stay here any longer.”
Using Hei Fu’s summoning, Bai Fu swiftly returned to the Esper Garden.
For the next two days, she went nowhere, devoting herself wholly to digesting the Void Sovereign’s core.
When her digestion reached 60%, she successfully opened the “Micro-Universe” left behind after Gui Ji’s death.
As she expected, as an old veteran who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, Gui Ji’s “Micro-Universe” contained vast treasures. Even the 【Old Corruption Toxin】 Rufas had once used to attack her was among them.
The only problem was that many resources within were too low-level for her now that she had reached level 260.
Bai Fu separated these resources. The majority went to Fei Ye and Jin Lu, while the rest she distributed among Yulia, Cecia, Anya, and even Oathmaster received a share.
In such turbulent tis, she had to cultivate every battle strength around her.
“Hm, what’s this?”
While checking the “Micro-Universe,” Bai Fu suddenly discovered a purple “antique.”
【Relic of the Old Days 003】
【Quality】: Radiant
【Item Description】: A relic from the Old Days, carefully hidden by the Void Sovereign Gui Ji within the Void Realm. Though it appears ordinary, it seems to be of great importance.
【Note】: This item is a special quest item. Once deeply explored, it will trigger a special quest. That special quest is extrely dangerous and may cause major deviations in the ga’s storyline. Please consider carefully before choosing to proceed.
Staring at the item description window before her, Bai Fu’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
She had long encountered countless items, but never one as strange as Relic of the Old Days 003.
As her fingers brushed over a missing corner of the relic, for so reason, a strong sense of unease welled up inside her heart—as though if she went any further, she would plunge into an endless abyss from which there was no escape.
【Ahead lies the path. Cease your exploration!】
Such a voice seed to flash in her ears.
Bai Fu remained silent.
Explore… or not?
She thought for a full minute before finally making up her mind.
Explore!
Would avoiding exploration an avoiding danger?
Surely not.
Whether she knew of it or not, danger was already there. Since that was the case, it was better to face it head-on.
Bai Fu began her deep exploration of Relic of the Old Days 003.
The process was short. Once she successfully unlocked the relic’s seal, a new ga notification echoed in her mind.
Ding!
