Chapter 912 - 403: Failure (Part 3)

"Let me go back and consult my teacher first."

Chu Xiu responded with an "Hmm," not really holding out much hope.

Not to mention the time law that can even revert shattered Golden Cores, it would at least require the level of a Servant God; just finding Xie Xuanzhao itself is an uncertain endeavor.

Xie Xuanzhao scrutinized Chu Xiu for a moment with her beautiful eyes, hesitated slightly, and said, "I humbly ask Brother Chen to allow this young lady to offer protection."

With that, she extended her delicate hand, gently waved it in front of Chu Xiu, and said, "I hereby prophesy that in a hundred years, this young lady will meet the friend in the Celestial Derivation Divine Domain."

Chu Xiu was slightly taken aback, "Is this the protection?"

"Indeed," Xie Xuanzhao chuckled softly, "Prophesying that we will meet in a hundred years is essentially ensuring Brother Chen’s safety within this century?"

Chu Xiu chuckled silently, unexpected by the simplicity of the principle behind the protection.

"Thank you, Miss Xuanzhao."

"This young lady will await the friend at the center of the Divine Domain."

Xie Xuanzhao bowed slightly, and then her figure disappeared into the void.

For a moment, only Chu Xiu was left in place.

[Reward settlement complete!]

[Acquired item: Cause and Effect Points *70,000,000]

[Acquired item: Seed of Rules *7 (Destiny, Transformation, Destruction, Desire, Life, Cancer, Mimicry)]

[Tribulation degree has greatly increased! Additional reward settlement in progress...]

If Chu Xiu’s Golden Core hadn’t shattered and he saw this reward, he would probably be jumping for joy!

A reward of seventy million Cause and Effect Points!!!

This figure, even for a Celestial King, is a considerable wealth!

More importantly...

Seeds of Rules! A whole seven of them!

Seeds of Rules are an opportunity that only awakened beings from high-level civilizations can obtain, even Celestial Kings on Blue Star can only acquire the Ascension Sequence, not Seeds of Rules!

All their rule powers can only be understood from scratch by collecting rule fragments themselves!

If a Seed of Rules were to appear in the world, Celestial Kings would probably spend everything to pursue it!

Yet the Abyss granted seven of such divine items at once!

Moreover, each Seed of Rules is an extremely powerful High Tier Rule! The weakest is even at the [Main God] level! Additionally, there are supreme rules!

"Contained within the Seed of Rules are the corresponding Ascension Sequence."

"This means that as long as I refine a Seed of Rules, my Demonic Inheritor will immediately transform into the corresponding profession, embarking on a completely new path, and the predicament of the shattered Golden Core will be easily resolved."

"After using seventy million Cause and Effect Points, the cultivation I lost will be quickly replenished, even becoming stronger than it is now!"

The Rule of Destruction along with seventy million Cause and Effect Points... could instantly grant him combat strength on par with a Celestial King, which wouldn’t be surprising!

"This is really... like receiving a blow and then being given a jujube as a consolation."

Looking at the prompt before him, and sensing the shattered Golden Core within his Dantian, Chu Xiu’s lips curled with a hint of bitterness.

Even with the shattered Golden Core, Chu Xiu still possesses opportunities others covet; he can still stand tall relying on his Talent.

But he knows that once he refines a Seed of Rules, he will effectively return to the Abyss system, afterward losing any chance to resist the Abyss.

This is perhaps a form of arrogant persuasion to surrender.

Breaking your legs, then offering you a position as a gatekeeper.

In truth, this isn’t that significant; dignity? Who can maintain dignity before such a colossal entity as the Abyss?

In contrast, a mere Heroic Spirit attempting to rebel against the Abyss is the real arrogance and foolishness.

Yet, for some reason, Chu Xiu is just not reconciled!

Standing in place for a while, he suddenly twitches his facial muscles, revealing a never-before-seen ferocious expression!

In the next moment, Chu Xiu sits cross-legged, connecting his consciousness into the [Inheritance Hall], beginning to seek methods for Shattering Pill and Rebuilding.

He doesn’t know why, even after reaching this point, he still holds onto hope.

He only knows that there is a blazing fire in his heart!

The Abyss is pressing his head to make him kneel, but that fire prevents him from kneeling!

Chu Xiu accepts this failure, but he desires victory even more!

Perhaps everyone will eventually recognize reality, accept reality.

But before being utterly defeated, he still wishes to exhaust everything to stand up again, brandish his sword once more!
