Chapter 832: Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One: Inheriting the Last Wish_2
The sky was extraordinarily bright, almost too dazzling, giving it an unreal, dreamlike quality. An overpowering floral scent accompanied by drifting petals filled the view. Dressed in a white suit, Alec, with his ticulously combed blonde hair, was lazily sitting on the villa’s windowsill, using a rose to flirt with a noble young lady in a pink puffy dress.
The pretty girl with golden curls giggled as Alec frivolously pulled her hand over and kissed the back of it, making her cheeks instantly flush red.
Chen Lun watched the scene before him and silently thought to himself about how adept Alec was at this.
Then, with a calm expression, he said to Alec:
“Your Majesty Oscar.”
Alec heard the voice and turned his head to look down, slightly taken aback.
“Oh? Mr. Jack, what brings you here?”
The blonde girl in the room also noticed the black-hatted gentleman standing below, but unlike won in the real world, she showed an extrely disdainful expression toward Chen Lun and turned her head to look at Alec with only longing in her eyes.
It was as if, in this dream, she was wholeheartedly infatuated with the man before her.
Chen Lun did not answer Alec’s question, only waited silently.
After a while.
Alec’s eyes revealed silver rings, his expression gradually becoming indifferent, then he waved his hand.
The entire scene froze instantly.
The lovestruck girl, the swaying trees, the drifting petals, and the dog running by all seed to be paused in their tracks.
Dressed in a white suit, Alec descended before Chen Lun, smiling. He opened his mouth and asked:
“Jack, since you have co to find , you must have made a decision.”
Chen Lun removed his hat and respectfully saluted.
Then asked in a deep voice:
“Before that, I want to confirm sothing with you.”
“Please speak.”
“In the unfulfilled grand ambitions of the Ring Duke’s last wish… which Seven Gods are referred to?”
Chen Lun slightly lowered his head and stated his query.
“Perhaps I didn’t make it clear enough, my apologies…”
Oscar chuckled, then gradually beca serious.
“The Seven Gods the Ring Duke sought to hunt are ‘Sun God Blaze Father’ Kingsley Huzzworth, ‘Moon Goddess Granny Moonlight’ Margaret, ‘Star God Glorious Empress’ Jessica Filona, ‘Blood God Lady Rose’ Maria Liana, ‘Death God Elder Bone Buryer’ Bankroth, ‘Sea God Eternal Sleeper’ Sebastian Pado, and ‘God of History Mud Lord’ Montgory.”
As he spoke, his gaze seed to drift to a distant place, his voice lowering:
“Now, Elder Bone Buryer is dead, Lady Rose and Mud Lord are both severely injured and have gone into hiding, and Eternal Sleeper remains suppressed and sealed… If you are to inherit the Ring Duke’s last wish, this is a crucial era, and the ti when you have the greatest chance to beco a god. If missed, such an opportunity might never co again in the future.”
Oscar spoke with certainty, even shaking his head with a sigh.
Chen Lun morized the true nas of these gods in his mind, then pondered for a mont before asking again:
“Then… what if new gods erge from the seven paths during this process?”
Oscar smirked and waved his hand dismissively.
“Kill or spare, as you wish.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
Chen Lun answered respectfully.
But inwardly, he was silently grumbling, thinking how it sounded like buying live fish at the market, killing or sparing up to him… as if he could easily handle it.
Oscar raised an eyebrow, wanting to say sothing, but held back. After a brief pause, he asked:
“So, what is your decision?”
Chen Lun straightened up, staring into Oscar’s eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he solemnly said:
“I will inherit the Ring Duke’s last wish… to slay the Seven Gods!”
“Very well.”
Oscar smiled with satisfaction, even raising his hand to applaud.
It seed he admired Chen Lun’s determination and courage.
Then Oscar raised his hand, extending his forefinger, and with a speed far surpassing Chen Lun’s reaction, touched his forehead.
Imdiately, a torrent of complex mythological knowledge surged forth like a vast flood, flooding into Chen Lun’s mind.
He gained knowledge about the follow-up Sequence Three – Dramatist of the Path of Destiny, and even the mythological knowledge of the Angel Rank Sequence Two – Naless.
“Since you have chosen to inherit the Ring Duke’s last wish, all of this shall be yours… However, regarding higher-level knowledge, you cannot bear it yet. To you, it would be the most terrifying pollution and poison imaginable. Knowing even a little could make you lose control… Only when you have a higher sequence shall I give it to you.”
Oscar said lightly.
“I understand, Your Majesty, thank you.”
Using the Enlightening Skull, Chen Lun swiftly assimilated this knowledge, committing it to mory, then expressed his gratitude to Oscar.
But soon, he developed another question.
This stemd from the angel ritual of Sequence Two – Naless, which explicitly ntioned the need for a piece of Unique Divinity…
‘Howard once indicated that his ritual lacked as the final component, which included the Four Seasons Bookmark in my hand, as its essence was an incomplete Unique Divinity.’
Chen Lun thought to himself, voicing his question regarding Unique Divinity to Oscar.
Oscar pondered for a mont and then said:
“Unique Divinity represents unique authority, a great power that only angels and true gods possess… Since it is called ‘unique,’ it naturally remains unchanged throughout ti. Each path only has ten pieces, just like the ten divine paths.”
He paused for a few seconds to let Chen Lun digest this information, then continued:
“True gods and angels may fall, but Unique Divinity is eternal… Even though the world operates under the law of supernatural entropy, with mysterious substances increasing with pollution, no more Unique Divinities will appear… To beco an angel, you need at least one piece of Unique Divinity, and to ascend to Sequence One, you need two pieces.”
Oscar leaned slightly forward, coming closer to Chen Lun’s face.
He raised his palm slowly and opened it, word by word, telling him:
“As for becoming a god, you must possess five pieces of Unique Divinity.”
Chen Lun furrowed his brows.
He thought to himself, no wonder angels and sub-gods from each path are so rare, this is the reason…
‘Only ten pieces of Unique Divinity… So, with an existing true god, a path can have at most five angels, and that’s just Sequence Two angels. As for Sequence One, there can only be up to two at the sa ti.’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
However, Oscar, as always, seed to understand his thoughts and lightly smiled, saying:
“If the Unique Divinity of your path is insufficient, it can be substituted with that of an adjacent path… Of course, this unspoken rule only applies to Sequence One and above, and the Unique Divinity of an adjacent path must not exceed that of your own path, otherwise, it will lead to path conversion… though the likelihood of loss of control is higher.”
