Chapter 209: Spear of Celestial Purity
“Wow, there’s determinism too,” Yonglan chuckled, clicking his tongue. “Does that mean my arrival was due to your wish?”
“At first, I didn’t know how this wish would be fulfilled, or if it would even work. But after you, as a mortal, actually killed a celestial god, and I formed a contract with you, seeing through your eyes, I finally knew that the miracle of the wish had arrived,” Shariel said, clasping her hands over her chest with immense relief and gratitude.
It seemed that the long wait of hundreds of years had considerably worn down her expectations, with Yonglan’s appearance being the last straw she could grasp.
“Was there a need to hide something like this? You could have just told me earlier,” Yonglan grumbled.
Shariel pursed her lips. “Because it was difficult for me to admit to you. The reason you are here, everything you’ve experienced, are all wishes I imposed without your consent. It’s so detestable, so… lacking freedom. I never asked for your will. This should have been my own responsibility. They were right; I only know how to escape.”
“There’s no need to apologize. I’m not blaming you,” White-Haired Hram said, tilting her head. “Don’t you feel bound by fate? Such actions… are too despicable.”
“Really? But I don’t mind,” Yonglan replied, surprisingly relaxed and without a sense of his worldview shattering. Rather, he felt rather at ease. He said to Shariel, “At least I am acting of my own will now. Everything I do is something I willingly do. That’s enough. If anything, I should thank you.”
“Besides, even taking a step back, I agreed to this entirely of my own volition. Although it’s slightly different from what I imagined, it’s truly from the bottom of my heart.”
“I see. It seems my guilt can be lessened somewhat,” Shariel said with a soft smile that Yonglan rarely saw.
“Yes, so you don’t need to apologize at all. I’m very satisfied with this game. If possible, let me continue,” Yonglan stated.
“Of course… My King, if you enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of this journey, then I will assist you on this path, through life and death.” Shariel bowed with her hand over her chest, then raised her head after a moment. “But there is one thing you need to know: time is running out.”
“Time for what?”
“The time for this world to meet its end.”
After opening up to Yonglan, Shariel no longer intended to hide anything. She said worriedly, “After I left, no one was able to continue the work of refining the Seed of Fire. The reason they are killing each other is to fully merge the remaining Authority of the Seed of Fire and finally achieve godhood. The dragons and the gods of Hram have all joined this struggle. It has gone on for centuries, and now most of the celestial gods have fallen. The remaining celestial gods are about to be decided.”
“By then, even with my Authority, I will no longer be able to contend with them.”
Yonglan finally looked serious upon hearing this, tilting his head slightly. “Oh? What can be done?”
“The only way is to strike first, seize the Authority of the celestial gods, and then, using the techniques I taught you, reshape this world.”
“Reshape the world… That sounds quite difficult,” Yonglan scratched his head, clicking his tongue.
The “Soul Devouring Technique” was incredibly powerful, but in contrast, the thinking and calculations required to use the techniques Shariel imparted were extremely convoluted, completely unlike the forging techniques he was adept at, which he could perform without a second thought.
“Of course, it will be difficult. This is an unprecedented feat, but through your eyes, have you not already seen the future of success? So, it will be fine,” Shariel said optimistically.
“Alright, then we can’t dawdle anymore. Let’s go straight into a decisive battle with the gods of Hram to avoid any further complications,” Yonglan decided. Although the legend of the future Primal King seemed to have revealed the ending, Yonglan was not so arrogant as to believe he was completely safe. Sams was not a simple game; it had to be taken seriously.
A decisive battle with the gods of Hram required thorough preparation. First, Shariel suggested that Yonglan merge the Authority of the Dragon God he had stripped with the Soul Devouring Blade to upgrade it into an even more powerful weapon.
“The Sanctuary where the gods of Hram reside is on Earth. They are also aware of your presence and have undoubtedly made corresponding preparations to protect themselves. Steel of the Eternal World might not be enough.”
Yonglan followed her advice. After returning from the Dragon’s domain to their base camp, he threw himself into the work of forging a new weapon. Having played with the Soul Forging Technique for so long, Yonglan was practically a veteran. His proficiency was a given. He had also learned the art of forging equipment intuitively. Just like when he forged the Soul Devouring Blade, Yonglan began a long forging process. Divine Essence was limited, and the finished product was subject to various unforeseen conditions, making it difficult to achieve the desired results. Even Shariel said it was a matter of luck and not to force it, but Yonglan still managed to create what he considered the most satisfactory divine weapon through repeated attempts.
“How does this compare to the Soul Devouring Blade?” Yonglan proudly presented the finished product to the King of Hram.
It was pure white, as if forged from sacred stones and precious gems, emitting a pure and gentle radiance. On the true silver blade, there were faint golden patterns serving as runes to carry Spirit Matter and Divinity. It was handsome, elegant, and brilliant.
[Spear of Celestial Purity]
[A god-slaying weapon forged by the Godslayer from the divine artifact Soul Devouring Blade and the remnants of celestial gods.]
[The purest and most clear product, its birth stems from rebellion against arrogant celestial gods and the desire to break free from chains; its spearhead will point to the highest heavens, and the more arrogant and noble the existence, the more they will be baptized by this sword-spear.]
[You are all the source of filth and chaos, O heavens, cleanse the mortal world with the blood of celestial gods!]
[He who wields this sword-spear bears the mission to purge the heavens and the starry sky.]
Aside from its exquisite appearance and incredibly smooth handling, this newly forged sword-spear was also explosively powerful. As a “god-slaying weapon,” the Spear of Celestial Purity had specialized its anti-celestial god properties to the extreme, as if it had a signpost attached saying, “I am specifically here to kill celestial gods.”
“No celestial god can withstand this god-slaying weapon!” Shariel was initially stunned, her true red eyes widening slightly, before she smiled. “Yes, I can guarantee with my past experience and identity that this weapon will be a worthy ‘god-slaying weapon,’ drinking more celestial god blood than any weapon before.”
