Chapter 315 -315-Harsh Conditions, Prolonged Torture
Harris was a descendant of the Starlight Folk.
The Starbeast race was known as the greatest race in the Endless Starsea. In their youth, they would already reach supreme-grade. Once they became adults and awakened a portion of their bloodline, they could step into Divine-grade!
If they could awaken their entire bloodline and receive the complete inheritance, they would directly step into Oracle-grade as supreme-grade existences.
The innate gifts of this race could be described as unparalleled.
And in Daniel’s hands, there was currently a Starbeast egg!
"A puppet avatar has an upper limit of Divine-grade."
Daniel pondered. "Therefore, I need a top-grade avatar."
"With the racial Fortune Points and supreme talent of the starry sky beastfolk, even a great Oracle-grade existence would be unable to erase this avatar from the world out of thin air. This trait is even rarer than the Starbeast inheritance itself."
He was no longer the ignorant rookie who had first stepped into the starry sky.
He knew very well that since a great Oracle-grade could revive a living being from the Time River, they could also completely erase the existence of a living being from the Time River.
But with a Starbeast avatar, he would no longer need to fear a great Oracle-grade erasing the traces of his existence.
Although his style of doing things was unrestrained, deep in his bones, he valued his own safety greatly.
Perhaps because of the desperate struggles he had gone through in his previous lives, a trace of caution had always remained hidden deep in his heart.
He lowered his head and stared at the giant egg before him.
[Starbeast (Special)]
Grade: Divine-grade
Effect: A Starbeast egg that has yet to nurture a "spirit." Its nurturing can be accelerated through various heavenly treasures, or it can be nurtured through divine will and energy.
Special: One may brand it with Divine Blood and Divine Soul, forcefully giving birth to a "divine spirit." Once the divine spirit is born, it may possess the body of the Starbeast.
Explanation:
If this Starbeast egg is refined into an avatar, it will inherit all the racial traits of the Starbeast race—Fortune Points, bloodline power, inheritance, and so on.At the same time, this avatar will also bear the racial karma carried by the Starbeast race.This avatar and the main body will become two completely different individuals. Their thoughts, ways of doing things, and personalities will all be independent of each other, but the main body can exert an enormous influence over it.
Description: For a Starbeast egg to grow into a complete form, it must undergo nurturing, hatching, breaking out of the shell, infancy at the peak of legendary-grade, childhood at the peak of supreme-grade, youth at the peak of demi-sage rank, adulthood at the peak of Divine-grade after awakening part of its bloodline, and maturity at Oracle-grade after awakening its entire bloodline...
Each breakthrough between these stages requires an extremely long period of time. However, with the nourishment of heavenly treasures, or with treasures that alter the flow of time, its growth can be accelerated.
Daniel’s gaze lingered for a long time on the description that said "adulthood means peak Divine-grade, maturity means Oracle-grade."
The value of this beast egg was immeasurable!
He stored the giant egg away, then turned his gaze once again toward the distant depths of the star sea.
Visca Galaxy, the Myriad Races Alliance, Golden Holy Mountain, great Oracle-grade existences...
All the pieces had already been laid out. All that remained was for him to make the decisive move that would determine fate.
Daniel carefully read through all the information about the Starbeast egg and noticed one particular line.
The avatar would inherit the karma of its race!
He did not take this point to heart.
Compared to the endless benefits that obtaining a Starbeast avatar could bring, what did a little karma count for?
He immediately forced out his own Divine Blood, using his divine will as a guide, and slowly injected the crimson drop of blood into the Starbeast egg.
This process seemed to make ancient decrees echo beside his ears, as though they were coming from the far shore of distant space-time...
[Ding! You are infusing the Starbeast egg with Divine Blood.]
[Ding! You must split off a portion of your Divine Soul and brand it within to complete the low-grade ritual.]
Daniel listened to the system notification and attempted to split his Divine Soul.
Divine Soul was the highest form of the soul.
With his current Rank, he could already clearly sense those illusory yet truly existing soul veins. He could even control the flow speed of blood in every capillary within his body.
Splitting his Divine Soul was not particularly difficult for him.
"Hmph—"
He could not help but let out a muffled groan.
The pain of cutting the soul was a hundred times more excruciating than physical injury.
When a mortal body suffered heavy damage, the body would activate its protection mechanism, causing the person to fall unconscious to escape the pain.
But the tearing of the soul had no such protection.
That agony was like having one’s heart carved out and bones scraped clean. It made one wish for death.
[Ding! Soul brand complete.]
[You must continue branding it every day with Divine Blood and Divine Soul power until this Starbeast egg nurtures a complete "spirit."]
[Note: The birth of this "spirit" requires a total of 90 days.]
...
When Daniel heard this, he could not help but bare his teeth in pain.
This meant that he would have to endure this cruel agony day after day, for a full 90 days, until that "spirit" was born.
"Looks like I’ll have to feed this Starbeast egg some Sacred Materials."
If even the first step required such a long period of time, then if the later hatching and shell-breaking stages also followed the normal process, would he have to wait tens of thousands of years?
Daniel had never once thought of taking the ordinary path.
"I hold such a heaven-defying Millionfold Boost ability in my hands. How could I stupidly wait for so long?!"
Thinking of this, he activated the Ivahpin Scroll and stepped into the virtual world.
He immediately exchanged all of his remaining four million points for various ordinary Sacred Materials and fed them all to the Starbeast egg in one go.
[Ding! The Starbeast egg is accelerating its nurturing. The nurturing period for the "spirit" is expected to be shortened to 50 days!]
"As expected, it works, though it really burns through money."
Daniel shook his head. This cost was truly not low.
"But it doesn’t matter. As the territory I conquer grows wider and wider, and the resources I plunder become more and more abundant, Golden Holy Mountain’s points won’t amount to much in the future. Even emptying Golden Holy Mountain’s treasury might not be impossible!"
...
Aerial Realm.
[Ding! Aerial Realm has evolved into a middle living world.]
[Ding! The World Tree sapling has grown into a small World Tree.]
Daniel’s puppet avatar had long since watered the World Tree sapling with the Spring of Life.
At this moment, Aerial Realm had completely finished its transformation!
It had advanced from a small living world into a middle living world.
At the same time, army after army of players was assembling.
Aerial Realm’s starry sky teleportation passages were slowly opening.
Leading them were Daniel’s puppet avatar, Camille, Conrad, and a group of quasi-Divine-grade powerhouses.
Behind them were hundreds of elite players who had already reached the threshold of supreme-grade, tens of millions of legendary-grade players, and hundreds of millions of ordinary warriors clad in legendary-grade battle armor forged with magic-energy technology.
The players stared at the deep plane passages before them with surging excitement.
"The guild leader brought back so many rare treasures from the Endless Starsea. I want every single one of them."
"Who doesn’t? Those top-grade Divine Domain templates and the top-tier Sacred Materials for constructing Divine Domains... but all of them have to be exchanged with points."
"You get points by fighting wars. For the sake of becoming stronger, I wish we could go on campaigns every day."
"Do you think attacking several planes at the same time is a little too arrogant? Could something go wrong?"
"What’s there to be afraid of? Believe in the guild leader."
"Exactly. You can always trust the boss."
The other ends of the spatial passages connected to several small world planes.
They were territories under the command of primordial races such as the Godkin, shadowkin, and sirenfolk.
The curtain was about to rise on a plane invasion!
And this time, the ones launching the invasion were the players!
Daniel turned around and gazed at the vast, boundless army of players behind him. His eyes were filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.
In his previous lives, humanity could only passively endure endless invasions like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
But now, the players had risen up and become the initiators of invasions against other planes.
Although the youth who slays the dragon may one day become the dragon himself, it was still far better than being bullied forever!
If one did not want to be bullied, one had to become strong.
If one wanted to become strong, one had to fight for it.
If one did not fight, there was only a dead end!
