Chapter 557: Chapter 21 Heading Towards the Pioneer Relics
In the Secret Realm, Richard looked at the marvelous Crystal Armor in front of him and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“What a marvelous thing, I never expected you to still have such good stuff.”
Beside him, the two Nobles he had captured, now nad by Richard as Earth Goblins, were controlled by the filants of the World Mushroom, appearing like puppets on strings.
Richard was a very gentle Wizard; he always tried to minimize unnecessary slaughter.
“Do you have many of these things?”
Richard’s voice was very gentle, sounding like a patient and encouraging teacher. However, in the eyes of the two Earth Goblins, his smile seed like the smile of a devil.
As Nobles, they considered themselves well-traveled and knowledgeable.
Whether it was the fierce Sea Beasts from the Far East, the terrifying Sand Monsters from the Southern Desert, or the Ice sprites from the Extre North, they had seen them all and even captured so to display in the Royal Court’s zoo for public viewing.
But they had never seen such a grand and huge creature like the World Mushroom.
Its body, as large as a small hill, instinctively struck fear into them. And the ans of the World Mushroom were even more chilling.
They were elite among the Nobles, but in front of the World Mushroom’s seemingly fragile filants and tendrils, they were like toys, easily manipulated and molded.
What terrified them even more was that this horrifying creature actually called that albinism-like Noble its master.
Who exactly was this Noble? Or rather, what was he?
“We have many,” said an Earth Goblin who had attacked Richard, forcing composure, “in the Royal Court, there are countless armors like this.”
Hearing this, the Earth Goblin beside him also echoed, “This armor is just the lowest grade; otherwise, it wouldn’t be used against these lowly species. In the Royal Court, such armors… ah!”
Before the Earth Goblin could finish speaking, an indescribable pain spread throughout his body, feeling as if soone was brushing back and forth on his nerves with a wire brush.
Richard calmly said, “I do not like lies, so you better not lie. If you cooperate, you might even be able to go back soday. If you do not cooperate, then your only fate will be to hang on the wall as specins.
Now, tell , how many of these armors do you have?”
After speaking, Richard raised his hand, and the World Mushroom stopped its tornt.
With the pain gone, the two Earth Goblins’ bodies still trembled incessantly, and they looked at Richard with fear deep in their bones.
Fear of pain is the instinct of every being, and when they encounter pain that surpasses those instincts, creatures tend to escape through fainting.
But under the manipulation of the World Mushroom, these two Earth Goblins could not faint. They had to endure that indescribable pain completely.
Without faith that transcended life and death, no creature could endure such pain.
Clearly, these two “Nobles” who referred to Earth Goblins as lowly species did not possess such faith.
“There are probably over five hundred sets of such armor, but only ninety-four, no, ninety-three are usable!” one Earth Goblin hastily replied.
Richard nodded slightly and asked, “How many of these Crystal Creations do you have? Are they considered precious?”
“Precious, certainly precious!” the other Earth Goblin hastened to answer, “All these things are ancient legacies, the creations that erged in this world before the Complete Lord suppressed the Abyss.
Neither we nor those corrupt fools have many of such creations.”
“Corrupt fools?” Richard raised an eyebrow, he had noticed this term before.
“It’s the Nobles of the Blood and Flesh Court,” explained the Earth Goblin. “These guys have abandoned their noble bloodline and are playing with body modification with those lowly species. The Divine Gifted Bodies they had are twisted beyond recognition.”
“Divine Gifted Bodies?” Richard was shocked, “Your bodies are modified afterward?”
The Earth Goblin straightened up, his face brimming with imnse pride.
“Our Divine Gifted Bodies are from the Complete Lord. In ancient tis, our ancestors fought side by side with the Complete Lord against the Abyss Demons. As a reward, and also to enhance our fighting power, the Complete Lord gifted our ancestors with the Divine Gifted Bodies.”
The Earth Goblin’s answer left Richard sowhat puzzled.
“Divine Gifted Bodies from the Complete Lord? Not from the Supre?”
“Supre?”
Faced with this title, the Earth Goblin was utterly confused.
“I have never heard of the Supre.”
The Earth Goblin’s answer sent a shock through Richard’s heart. He waved his hand, and the World Mushroom put the two Earth Goblins to sleep. Then, Richard conducted a thorough examination of their bodies.
After the inspection, Richard drew up a chart. Looking at the chart and the symtrically beautiful body structure on it, Richard murmured to himself:
“Strange, this body is indeed the work of the Supre, that cannot be faked. Could it be that the Complete Lord was a remnant of the Supre? Or, did the Complete Lord inherit the Supre’s life essence transformation technology?”
Richard woke the two Earth Goblins and asked them many more questions about the Divine Gifted Bodies. However, the answers the Earth Goblins gave were very vague and unclear; the ancient events after thousands of years of transmission had beco re mythological tales.
In the myths, these Earth Goblin ancestors fought shoulder to shoulder with the Complete Lord against the Abyss Demons when they invaded. In battle after battle, the Complete Lord realized that relying on Goblins alone could not defeat the Abyss Demons. Hence, he bestowed blessings in the Divine Palace, gifting these Earth Goblin ancestors with Divine Gifted Bodies, as well as nurous ancient relics.
Later, the Complete Lord suppressed the Evil Demons but died himself, and his power was inherited by two Sons of God.
Under the leadership of the Sons of God, they purified the already corrupted land with flas and subsequently established the two great kingdoms of today, naly the chanical Court where Richard currently resided, and the Blood and Flesh Court next door.
“Divine Palace…”
Richard pondered for a mont, a thought flashing through his mind. Could this so-called Divine Palace be a Pioneer biological laboratory, containing a complete set of equipnt for transforming the origin of life? And the so-called bestowal of blessings was actually the use of this equipnt to transform the origin?
Otherwise, there was no need for the Divine Palace to be a location in the myth.
The more Richard thought about it, the more probable the idea seed. Otherwise, how could a native World Master transform Goblins into powerful Earth Goblins?
Although he hadn’t studied these Earth Goblins in detail, rely dissecting one allowed him to see that their strength and agility far exceeded that of ordinary goblins by more than tenfold.
This data even surpassed that of the general Dragon Blood Species.
Moreover, the regenerative abilities of these Earth Goblins had not been weakened but had been enhanced instead. This clearly exceeded the capabilities that a native should possess, even for a Wizard; such transformation would require the involvent of a Physique Crown.
“Do you have any records of this Divine Palace?” asked Richard.
One of the Earth Goblins shook its head, “No, there are very few records about the Divine Palace. The myth says that the Divine Palace is at the World’s Summit. If we go by that statent, then perhaps the Divine Palace is at the Golden Summit.”
“Golden Summit?”
“That’s the highest mountain we’ve surveyed, with a height of twelve thousand kiloters.”
“Where is it?”
“It’s to the north of the Blood and Flesh Court.”
“Blood and Flesh Court…” Richard’s eyes narrowed slightly; it seed he had no choice but to visit the Blood and Flesh Court.
He opened a Secret Realm Rift and while walking through, said: “World Mushroom, put these two Earth Goblins into hibernation.”
“As you wish, my lord.”
…
In Dunling City, Ulysses stood on the spire of the church, overlooking the whole city.
A rift opened beside him, and Richard, robed in black and holding the Balance Hand Wand, stepped out.
“The church was built so quickly?” Richard said with so surprise, looking at the imnse structure beneath his feet.
“It’s fake, take a closer look.”
Richard donned the Dinsion Eye and under the scrutiny of the energy waves, the true appearance of the entire church instantly revealed itself.
The huge structure below his feet was nothing but an old building, and the spire was just a hastily constructed scaffold.
“Is this a miracle?” Richard asked.
Ulysses glanced sideways slightly: “Not bad, you can already see the intent, my Main God lord.”
“Knock it off,” Richard retorted with a laugh and a curse.
Following last night’s attack, Richard and Ulysses decided to bring the Miracle Sect out into the open directly.
The Miracle Sect was now branded with Tai’er’s force, and its hidden location had been nearly exposed. Continuing to hide was pointless. Better to openly reveal themselves so that the Believers would know the Miracle Sect was not a Cult and thereby attract a wider following.
As for the attitude of the Eternal God King… frankly, Richard no longer cared about his attitude.
Attacking a base of the Miracle Sect was akin to attacking a Temple in the Main God’s world, a signal of waging war against the corresponding Divine.
After displaying the miracle last night, Ulysses was ready to confront the Eternal God King.
To boast a little, if their combat power wasn’t constrained within a world, no two Fourth Level World Masters could beat Richard and Ulysses.
Even within a world, if they could lure one of the World Masters into a Secret Realm, they could win the fight. However, this plan was extrely difficult to implent, almost impossible to succeed.
Yet strangely, the Eternal God King showed no reaction last night, as if he was completely unaware of the attack.
“I’m planning a trip to the Blood and Flesh Court,” Richard said, looking down at the city below, sowhat distractedly.
“Oh ho, my Main God lord, are you planning to proselytize in the Blood and Flesh Court?” Ulysses replied with an exaggerated tone of satisfaction, “My Main God lord is finally taking up preaching himself, congratulations indeed.”
Richard glanced at him and nonchalantly pulled out a bunch of blueprints from his pocket.
“Hand this over to Tai’er’s people, and make sure they cover the whole chanical Court with these things.”
“What’s this?”
Ulysses took the blueprints, glanced at them briefly, and saw a huge tower drawn on the paper.
Richard looked down at the city below and replied,
“This is a signal tower, which is used in conjunction with sothing I call a Crystal Stone Projector. As long as this tower is spread throughout the whole world, I can then make sure that achievents spread across the entire world within ten minutes!”
