"Once the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith is captured by the Status Panel, regardless of whether I can further influence the Spirit of the Vast Sun, my matters here will co to an end..."
Su Chen pondered to himself. For the trials on the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers, if one wasn't a Morning Star, they probably wouldn't even be granted the qualification to challenge them.
"Phew... Finally, I don't have to deal with those old guys anymore." Su Chen also felt a sense of relief in his heart. Trying to get things from those old guys was no ordinary hassle.
"All is Prepared, all we need now is an east wind." After mulling it over in his mind for a mont, Su Chen removed the shield blocking the Remnant Spirit. Right off the bat, he stated directly, "The Primal Source you left behind in the hands of that group of people is now in my hands. Next, what exactly should be done?"
"In your hands?" Suddenly hearing Su Chen's voice, the dense Spirit Shards that had condensed into a clump all trembled.
"What an impressive thod. Those several Radiant Moons were also toyed with in the palm of your hand," he praised. Although the Solar Remnants concealed its Primal Source, truly wanting to take it from the hands of that group of old guys wasn't sothing achieved with just a single sentence.
Su Chen felt nothing toward his flattery and said faintly, "The specific Deduction steps, how should it be done?"
This matter could practically be considered his ultimate goal, making it extrely important. To prevent this cunning fellow from realizing anything, Su Chen had almost only ntioned it to him once.
"Next, you need to let out for a bit so I can return to the Primal Source. Only then can..."
Before the Remnant Spirit could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted directly: "Then forget it. You should know perfectly well in your heart that I cannot possibly let you return to the Primal Source."
"If you had said earlier that there was this step, I wouldn't have expended so much effort to trick this Primal Source from the hands of those Ancient Kings. Deducing Profession Requirents isn't enough to make take the risk of letting you out."
"Wait..." the Remnant Spirit hurriedly shouted out loud. He was terrified that Su Chen would shield him again as soon as he finished speaking.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Su Chen feigned Displeasure.
The Remnant Spirit appeared sincere: "We have cooperated many tis. When have I ever tricked you?"
Although he said this, he was also gnashing his teeth internally. Whether it was the Faith Essence or his lost Primal Source, neither were that easy to acquire.
Previously, he thought that since Su Chen had expended a lot of effort to get these things and had already paid a sunk cost, when faced with his request, Su Chen would have to hesitate sowhat.
As a result, he refused so decisively.
In reality, even if he went out this ti, he wasn't planning on playing any tricks because he still harbored so apprehension towards Su Chen's thods.
Deducing the Profession Requirents wasn't important. This ti was rely a bargaining chip to increase trust. If he was let out this ti, he could do more things next ti.
It wouldn't be until Su Chen asked the most crucial question, "how to beco The Chosen as quickly as possible," that it would be his true ti to act.
"Although that may be true..." Su Chen seed sowhat hesitant, but still shook his head and said, "You are an entity ford from the Condensation of the Spirit Shards of a deceased Great Sun and a Final Ruin. You have far too many thods; I have to be on guard."
"Furthermore, this Deduction of Profession Requirents isn't that important to . If you have no other thods, then let's wait and talk about it later..."
Su Chen's eyes flickered. He still had a Trump Card on him. Whether this Remnant Spirit could pose a threat to him after coming out and possessing his incomplete Primal Source was still uncertain.
Moreover, he also believed that there was a high Probability the Remnant Spirit wouldn't use this unimportant "small matter" to cause trouble. It should just be a probe to gain his further trust and test his "Access Level."
But no matter what, he couldn't let this guy achieve his goal easily.
Even if this guy truly said there were no other thods this ti, at worst he could just wait a while and find a pretext to bring it up again.
Seeing this, the Remnant Spirit was helpless and could only say, "If you are unwilling to let out, we can only use another thod. That thod takes a bit longer and carries so risks."
He still compromised. After all, he was still in Su Chen's hands. As long as it didn't involve his ultimate goal, everything was just laying the groundwork.
"Then let's use the other thod," Su Chen nodded.
"Then let see the outside world first..." the Remnant Spirit said, and Su Chen further removed the shield.
The Remnant Spirit could clearly see the wisp of purple fla it had once inhabited. Unfortunately, it was close at hand, yet impossible to touch.
Sooner or later, you will let out. I don't believe you can resist the temptation of becoming the Radiant Sun Elect, the Remnant Spirit snorted coldly internally, but said, "First, place a portion of the Faith Essence into the fla to Drain a part of my Primal Source."
"Then, mobilize my Primal Source to carry out the Deduction. During the process, you must supply corrupted Faith Essence to suppress the instincts of the Spirit of the Vast Sun."
"But you are not . If you want to mobilize my Primal Source, you can only use a clumsy thod. You must first perform a Ritual Sacrifice to and use the Sacrificial Ritual to mobilize it..."
As Su Chen listened, his brows gradually furrowed. This step was much more tedious than he had imagined, and it also required expending so Divine Blood.
The target of the sacrifice was the Final Ruin that perished together with the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith, but the Divine Blood required wasn't much—five drops would suffice.
The Remnant Spirit gave further instructions: "Also, although this kind of Deduction won't cause damage to the Spirit of the Vast Sun, he will still resist. Even with Faith Essence to pacify him, it can only stabilize him slightly."
"So when the Deduction is on the right track, it's best if you find a way to attract the attention of the Spirit of the Vast Sun. This can increase the Probability of a successful Deduction."
"Attract his attention?" Su Chen's expression shifted slightly; this seed a bit troubleso.
After all, he couldn't go out now. He couldn't exactly face the Spirit of the Vast Sun directly and chat with him.
If that Stingy Dragon noticed sothing wrong and got angry halfway through, who knows if he might launch a sneak attack against him.
This... Suddenly, his expression softened again. He actually thought of a thod that could attract the Spirit of the Vast Sun's attention.
"Although I don't know if it will work, as long as the recording is successful, even if it fails, it's acceptable." Su Chen's Thoughts drifted past, and he nodded: "I understand."
He began the preparatory work. The first thing was to corrupt these portions of Faith Essence.
To ensure this matter succeeded, he took out all the remaining Faith Essence in his hands, which totaled nearly a hundred portions.
"This many should be enough to use."
He picked up a portion of Faith Essence and tried to rge it into this wisp of Remnant Embers.
At first, he was sowhat worried about whether it would lt or sothing, but he quickly found that this worry was superfluous.
This condensation of the Power of Faith was very unusual. It subrged itself into the fla, and soon a wisp of black mist faintly wrapped around its interior, flashed briefly, and disappeared.
"Is this considered successfully corrupted?" Su Chen pulled it out and looked closely, but didn't find any abnormalities. The Final Ruin that perished alongside the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith was probably also very adept at hiding.
Soon, he finished corrupting all the Faith Essence in his hands.
"Next is the Sacrificial Ritual..."
Su Chen slowly extended his palm. A fissure suddenly opened in his palm, and warm fresh blood dripped down drop by drop. Yet it didn't fall to the ground; guided by so invisible force, it splashed into fine dark red ripples In the Void before landing.
The fresh blood diffused and circulated In the Void at a speed Visible to the Naked Eye. Like ink-black silk threads intertwining and spiraling, it gradually condensed into a blood-red sacrificial altar suspended in mid-air.
It was about the size of a palm, with edges curled like sawteeth. Its surface glead with a dark luster, as if countless tiny runes were faintly visible within the dark red.
In an instant, Su Chen faintly slled a scent mixed with rust and decayed soil, cold and palpitating.
Imdiately after, he took out five drops of Divine Blood and placed them on the altar. Within a breath, the Blood Sacrificial Altar actually began to tremble slightly, pulsating like a beating pulse, and the surrounding Space subsequently rippled like water waves.
Following the thod the Remnant Spirit had described, he sacrificed to the long-fallen Final Ruin, chanting incantations in a low voice.
"......Devious God Nine Eyes..."
Accompanied by the low sound of the sacrificial prayer, the fla close at hand, which wrapped around the Remnant Spirit Origin, began to tremble slightly.
As the Remnant Spirit said, this step was not simple. Moreover, Su Chen felt that every sentence he chanted required a massive amount of Psionic Power. Fortunately, his Stamina-to-Spirit Conversion allowed him to continue without interruption.
The ti consud was not short. It was a full five or six days later before he saw a strand of substance resembling black oil flowing out from the fla.
Su Chen rely took one look, and a wave of resistance and unease from an unknown source surged in his heart.
Afterward, he saw this profound substance expand like a water wave. So scenes faintly surfaced within it. After it gradually cleared, Su Chen made a discovery.
What was presented inside was impressively the Flalet that hosted the Spirituality of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith.
It only surfaced for a mont before the scenes within were covered by a constantly churning sea of fire. Everything beca invisible. This was only the beginning, and he didn't need to expend Faith Essence yet.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes: "It will still take a certain amount of ti to get the Deduction on the right track. When that ti cos, it will be the mont I need to attract the Spirit of the Vast Sun's attention."
............
In the Nether Realm Space outside the Solar Fla, the Main Bodies of several Great Eldritch Gods were drifting about. There was a crimson giant with massive wings and four heads, as well as a nearly imperceptible little fox.
"The attack on the Royal Court achieved the elent of surprise, but the other Sects already have counterasures and have even directly activated their highest defenses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to corrupt any more."
The communication between the Devious Gods was like the buzzing of mosquitoes, yet also like roaring thunder. "Right now, we can only take the opportunity to expand our number of Believers and save them for future use."
"Crimson." The Faceless Ghost suddenly asked, "How did you know that the Advent Body of the Black Buddha personally went into hiding within the Bronze Sect?"
Many people saw the attack that took place in the Mount Tai Nexus. Even if their specific identities were unknown, the characteristics of the Crimson Cultists and the Black Buddha were truly too obvious.
"I still wanted to ask you about this matter." Crimson's voice was cold. "To assassinate the Black Buddha's Advent Body, did they also need to disguise themselves as my Believers?"
He himself found this matter very strange. After receiving the news, he personally investigated his subordinates. Among all the high-ranking Believers and Divine Sons, he simply couldn't find the guy who attacked the Black Buddha. This made him feel very strange, so he suspected whether the Faceless Ghost had disguised himself.
"How could I..." The Faceless Ghost denied it. Just as he was about to speak further, the several Great Eldritch Gods simultaneously felt a terrifying Aura gradually approaching.
"That's..." The Faceless Ghost felt horrified in his heart. His gaze had already pierced through the dense mist and saw that flesh and blood warship heading this way.
"The Final Ruin!?" The Sly Fox let out a sharp, shrill cry, trembling with fear.
Even if it was just a single wisp of Aura, they could clearly feel that it was a food chain level still above them.
"The Abyssal Domain, Great Heaven... They finally found this place after all." The Faceless Ghost's tone was gloomy and cold, faintly harboring a deeply hidden fear.
"Great Heaven?" Crimson seed puzzled but could only feel his entire body trembling. This was the first ti since he had transford into Crimson that he felt fear.
"Let's go, we can't stay here anymore." With almost zero hesitation, the Faceless Ghost had already disappeared into the Nether Mist.
The other Devious Gods did the sa. Soon, only Crimson remained. He hesitated slightly, took a deep look into the depths of the Nether Mist at the warship that was constantly approaching, and also vanished from there.
"To think there were four Great Eldritch Gods here..." On the warship, the Sallow-Faced Elder stood on the deck, looking at the Nether Mist before him that was gradually thinning and faintly revealing a Purple Light.
"They should be subordinates of that Final Ruin from back then. I didn't expect them to still be Clinging to Life." The elder licked his lips and said regretfully, "I have more important matters at hand; I don't have a way to hunt them down."
"Finally found it." The middle-aged man behind him contained his excitent as he watched the mist before them finally dissipate. What presented itself before their eyes was an incomparably magnificent, vast purple sun hanging in the Firmant.
"Solar Fla..." The elder's eyes beca vacant. The warship did not continue forward. The flesh-like substance covering its surface also seed to be affected by the light of the Starfire, emitting a hissing sound and constantly shrinking.
"The Nuo Vessel cannot continue forward. You stay here and perform a Sacrificial Ritual to Great Heaven. I'll go inside and see what the situation is, and what the origins of those recognized individuals exactly are."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man complied. Subsequently, he saw the elder reach his hand into the deck and actually pull out that Statue of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith directly.
Seemingly because it was close to the Starfire, this Statue beca even more dazzling.
The elder extended his palm. His fingers actually had four joints, looking unlike an ordinary person. He directly split the Statue open, and his entire body transford into a mass of black flesh and blood that subrged into it.
Following closely, the Statue turned into a Streaking Light, heading straight for the Solar Fla. It soon subrged into it, actually without suffering any effects from the Starfire.
............
"Being borne by the Galaxy Throne, there should be enough power of creation. We only need five hundred portions of Faith Essence. If ti is fast, we should be able to get out within three months."
The Xuantian Ancient King estimated. The reactions of the others were diocre. The Bronze Ancient King said in a deep voice, "Even if we get out, we can at most only disrupt his established plan. The exposure of the Dust Star Sea has already beco a fact."
"With the matter of the Mist-Fall Calamity, whether we go or stay, we must make plans early."
Go or stay?
The Ancient Kings couldn't help but fall silent for a ti. Each family had operated in the Dust Star Sea for tens of thousands of years. Their roots were intertwined, and their interests were complex. Saying 'leave' wasn't sothing settled with a single sentence.
"Go, but where can we go?" The Star-Firmant Ancient King asked in return. "Into the depths of the Nether Mist? We might be willing, but would the people under us be willing? The Starfire can't be moved."
Without Starfire to open up Space, entering the Nether Mist ant only withering away awaited the Sects.
"But if we stay, we have to face the Abyssal Domain directly." The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron sighed.
"It's not to the point of such pessimism." The Xuantian Ancient King said, however, "Although the matter of the Mist-Fall Calamity exists, that event passed tens of thousands of years ago. It might not necessarily affect us."
"At the very least, that Imasurable Buddha does not care about this matter."
