Chapter 425: Divine Thought Avatar
“Dragon God, guess how much Origin Water I obtained,” Xia Feng said, a triumphant grin on his face as he gently stroked the pale white dragon scale at the corner of Di Si’s left eye.
Di Si pursed her lips and softly replied, “Speak.”
Without further ado, Xia Feng summoned the Origin Water and the Withered Origin Flower from his Nascent Ten Space. “Including the drop I obtained in White Emperor City before, that’s a total of sixty-seven drops of Origin Water.”
Sixty-seven drops? Di Si was indeed surprised. She hadn’t expected her believer to not only find Origin Water but also to find so much, far exceeding expectations. Her dragon tail swayed to the left and right beneath her skirt. “That means I can travel to the Real World for an extended period? And personally protect my believer from being tempted by that Evil Witch? I also won’t have to deal with the annoying believer breaking his promises and sitting foolishly on the divine seat every day.”
In front of the divine seat, the withered giant flower drooped its rotten branches in the air. Beneath the dark brown soil, besides densely intertwined roots, golden droplets shimmered like stars.
“In addition to the Origin Water, there’s also this Withered Origin Flower. I thought that perhaps you, Dragon God, might have a way to revive it, so I dug it up along with the soil and brought it back.”
Di Si’s divine thought scanned the Origin Flower. While it wasn’t devoid of the aura of Origin-type divine objects, the presence was incredibly faint, even less than that of a single drop of Origin Water.
“How is it?” Xia Feng asked.
Di Si shook her head. “Origin-type divine objects are consumed upon use and cannot be repaired, unless… you find the Origin God Tree. It can be revitalized by nourishing it with the tree’s essence, much like Nirvana Rebirth, allowing the root system that has lost its vitality to undergo a complete transformation and bloom again. There is no other way.”
“It won’t work?” Seeing this, Xia Feng wasn’t too disappointed. After all, this Withered Origin Flower was an unexpected find, and he hadn’t held out much hope for it. For now, it seemed best to focus on finding the Origin Egg, or perhaps… finding a healthy Origin Flower that could breed an Origin Egg? Honestly, Xia Feng couldn’t comprehend why a flower would produce an egg; it seemed quite outrageous.
Di Si scanned the soil layer around the withered roots of the Origin Flower and nodded thoughtfully. “I haven’t encountered this divine object called ‘Origin Flower’ before, but from what I see now, it’s likely a remnant shed from the Origin God Tree’s leaves and flowers, a new way of birthing an Origin Egg.”
“The conditions for successful cultivation aren’t difficult, but the materials are hard to come by. Besides Origin Water, you also need Origin-type soil capable of nurturing the Origin Flower’s root system.” She pinched the dark gray soil with her slender fingers. “This soil is a good spirit material, but for the Origin Flower, it’s practically useless…”
Hearing the mention of soil, Xia Feng’s mind immediately recalled the rewards from the Life Roulette.
[Advanced Sacrifice Stage: Sacrifice 99,000 people who seek life to gain 1000 Life Points as a reward.]
[Note: The top player on the sacrifice leaderboard will receive the Origin Godly Object ‘Origin Soil’ as an additional reward.]
Three months had passed, and the Advanced Sacrifice Stage had long since ended. Ye Li Dongjun had become the top player, naturally obtaining the Origin Soil. Perhaps this was the reason Ye Li Dongjun participated in the Life Roulette. However, Ye Li Dongjun’s goals were likely not limited to this.
According to the game’s rules, there were a total of nine Life Roulettes, and each Life Roulette would consist of seven rounds of hunting. After the seven rounds, the winner with the highest life points could enter the [Place of Divine Fall · Sumeru Mountain] and qualify to compete for the Sumeru Throne.
Based on Xia Feng’s inferenc, the start and end times of these nine Life Roulettes were likely not the same. The winners of the earlier rounds had probably already been decided. Now, they were just waiting for the ninth round to conclude before commencing the competition for the Sumeru Throne.
Xia Feng wasn’t particularly interested in the so-called Sumeru Throne, but he was very interested in the Origin Soil in Ye Li Dongjun’s possession. The current Life Hunting game had entered its seventh and final round, with a time limit of seven months. Three months had already passed, and Xia Feng estimated that if he died again, he wouldn’t have much time left. It seemed he needed to find a way to return to the Real World quickly.
“That is to say, to cultivate an Origin Egg, I need to find a complete Origin Flower and Origin Soil.”
“Mhm, and additionally, divine power is needed to promote its growth.” The woman on the divine seat nodded. “However, I can provide the divine power directly.”
Xia Feng understood. Essentially, it was like growing a flower; divine power was the sunlight. For a flower, sunlight, water, and fertile soil were all indispensable. Currently, Xia Feng had gathered two of these four items, only lacking the flower and the soil.
Di Si beckoned, and ten of the golden droplets surrounding the withered roots floated out, converging in her fair palm to form a large droplet of water. Simultaneously, as a sacred radiance lit up the dark gold cross between Di Si’s eyebrows, countless ancient and solemn runes swarmed into the droplet like tadpoles, forming strands of double helix spiritual patterns resembling DNA.
About three seconds later, to Xia Feng’s astonishment, the droplet containing the double helix began to stretch rapidly, soaring into the air and forming a convex and concave feminine figure nearly two meters tall before him. Layers of golden dragon patterns revolved around the figure, abruptly constricting to form a starry skirt. Her bewitching little face opened its vertical pupils, and her pale, majestic gaze quietly looked down at the man straddling the woman on the divine seat.
“This is my Divine Thought Avatar.”
Di Si, embracing Xia Feng’s waist, also turned her head to look and said softly, “Under the protection of Origin Water, it can pass through seals and temporarily leave the Place of Seal, with a time limit of 100 years.”
“Holy cow, 100 years?” Xia Feng was shocked. Was this what she meant by temporary leave? He had originally thought that Miss Evil Dragon’s “temporary leave” would be a few months, perhaps a year at most. But now it seemed he had misunderstood. However, it made sense. For a Dragon God who took centuries for a nap, 100 years was indeed temporary.
“Because it is only a Divine Thought Avatar, and it is still under seal, its abilities are very limited,” the woman on the divine seat explained softly. “However, it still possesses my Dragon God’s might and divine status, just like my main body. It can indeed help you scare some people. Furthermore, it can achieve conceptual invisibility, making it impossible for even an Eighth-tier deity to see the avatar’s existence. Lastly, the Divine Thought Avatar possesses an ability similar to the crow’s feather, allowing it to instantly bring people into the Place of Seal. However, once returned to the Place of Seal, this Divine Thought Avatar cannot leave again a second time unless it consumes another 10 drops of Origin Water.”
Xia Feng listened, feeling quite pleased. The last crow’s feather had already been used at Dong Sheng Fortress, and he had been worried about how he would summon the divine dragon in the future. The Divine Thought Avatar perfectly solved his urgent need. Even though bringing someone back to the Place of Seal would cost 10 drops of Origin Water, it was still excellent.
Xia Feng was in good spirits and, with a smile, was about to ask something else when suddenly—
“Buzz——” The space vibrated.
The pale vertical pupils of the woman on the divine seat instantly turned cold, and she looked up towards the heavens. Xia Feng also sensed something and turned to look. In the distance, below the divine steps, the space seemed to shatter like glass, with dark cracks subtly spreading. Wisps of eerie light flowed out from within, quickly outlining two graceful humanoid figures, which then abruptly dissipated!
Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed. Although these two women failed to break through, he easily recognized their appearance.
It was… Mu Qingtong and Gong Changyi?!
“My god, how did these two find their way here?” Xia Feng’s scalp tingled. His thoughts raced, and he suddenly remembered how Mu Qingtong had deceived him and suddenly awakened in the Evil Dragon Space before. It was clear that this witch hadn’t been idle then. Miss Mu had likely left a spatial mark here through some mysterious means! That treacherous woman!
Xia Feng’s heart pounded. Although he didn’t know if the two women could see him, he quickly tried to get up. But in the next moment, his waist was forcefully embraced by a slender arm, and he was pulled directly into the woman on the divine seat’s embrace.
