Chapter 1537

"Since everyone agrees, then let's settle it like this!"

Glancing at the pattern on the table before the Capricorn Director, and confirming he raised no objection either, the Taurus Director spoke up to finalize it:

"The location will be set at the 【Sage's Cemetery】, personnel limited to us six plus seven Yellow Path Bureau Chiefs; as for the specific time... tentatively ten days from now would be most suitable."

"Ten days?"

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but frown:

"Can't it be sooner?"

"It really can't be earlier; ten days is already the shortest time."

After stroking the "True God Slayer Grand Sniper" Li Ang handed over, the Taurus Director spoke with no small regret:

"This batch of... 'materials' you brought is a bit too good, while my current condition is honestly not too good — soul and body not fully in sync.

If it were just processing these True Gods' physical bodies there'd be no problem, but there are still twenty-four True Gods' souls remaining, plus one complete Pillar God; with my current state it's hard to control them, so I have to ask the Third Generation my lord to help.

And the Initial Phase processing of this batch of materials will take about seven to eight days; counting the time to reach the 【Sage's Cemetery】, the Third Generation my lord presiding over the forging, plus a little margin, ten days really cannot be reduced further."

I see...

After hearing the Taurus Director's explanation, Li Ang nodded and said no more; the other Directors also raised no objection to this time, and seeing everyone had reached a consensus, the Taurus Director spoke:

"If there's nothing else, this Board meeting will end here for now; I'll be in the Taurus Palace processing materials this week, if anything changes we'll assemble there... then that's it for now, meeting dismissed!"

With the Taurus Director's announcement, the corresponding Star Palace patterns on the round table faded one after another, and this Board meeting convened in the Capricorn Palace was formally declared concluded.

After nodding at Li Ang, the Sagittarius Director vanished first, probably going to the Dead Realm to set a time; the Taurus Director, after smiling at Li Ang, collected all the materials covering the table and floor and left the Capricorn Palace's inner hall in quick strides; the Cancer and Pisces Directors also left one after another after nodding at Li Ang.

When Li Ang rose from his chair and followed behind the Pisces Director out of the Capricorn Palace inner hall, he discovered the surrounding world was a bit too quiet — he couldn't even hear his own footsteps — only then remembering his ears were still plugged with the beans the Taurus Director gave him.

And when Li Ang reached out and took out the two 【Silence Beans】, restoring his normal senses, he discovered a lean male face right in front of him, less than a foot away, staring at him with shining eyes.

"Holy shit!!! What are you doing?"

"Easy, easy, I'm not doing anything, just looking at you."

Watching Li Ang startle and abruptly retreat several steps, the tall, thin Capricorn Director couldn't help but grin, then spoke with burning eagerness:

"Aquarius, I heard during the Selection you simultaneously gained the recognition of five Star Palaces? And also simultaneously learned all the secret arts?"

"There is that matter..."

Hearing this, Li Ang's expression couldn't help but shift, as if he understood why he sought him out, so he nodded in acknowledgment, then tentatively asked back:

"Lord Capricorn, so you came to find me, wanting to..."

"Wanting to use the Capricorn Palace's secret art to purify you."

As expected, he wants to teach me the Capricorn Palace's purification secret... huh?

Blinking in astonishment, Li Ang asked with a blank face:

"What did you say?"

"I'm saying, you've got too much 'filth' contaminated on you; I want to use the Capricorn Palace's 【Anomaly Purification】 secret art on you."

Raising a hand to point toward the Taurus Palace, the Capricorn Director explained with a laugh:

"You've been a Cleaner and in contact with Anomalies for too short a time, but you've killed a few too many True Gods, and you haven't even reached the True God level yourself, so you're not sensitive to various Authorities; thus I worry those True Gods you killed might have left some hidden curses and marks on you. Aquarius, although your single-instance True God kill count nearly broke the Bureau's record, you can't truly think True Gods are just that; almost every True God has their own unique methods.

Although you may feel nothing now, that's because your condition is stable enough and you haven't yet entered their Authority range; if you enter their Authority range while relatively weak, those True Gods' curses and marks could erupt.

Additionally, before your own strength reached True God level, you prematurely contacted too many negative True God Authorities; these could also affect you, causing deviations in your personality and abilities, so I hope to help purify you."

Scared me... so it's this kind of purification.

Although the badge system gave no prompt of being cursed, Li Ang, understanding the system might not cover everything, still humbly accepted the Capricorn Director's good intentions and stood in place waiting for the Capricorn Director's purification secret art.

And after Li Ang put away all his Anomalous Items that could be affected and stood firm in the Capricorn Palace's outer hall, the Capricorn Director extended a palm glowing with faint Bai Mang, at a distance of about a fist, and gently waved it before Li Ang's face.

"Sizzle!"

A sound like butter frying in an iron pan rang out; in Li Ang's somewhat surprised gaze, several wisps of dark gold smoke seeped from his temples and dissipated into nothing under the 【Anomaly Purification】 secret art's Bai Mang.

"Hmm... this seems to be the Wealth Goddess's mark."

Looking at Li Ang's forehead, identifying the golden coin pattern only he could see, the Capricorn Director stroked his chin:

Looking at one by one/p>

"But it's not a curse, just pure positioning; if you get close to her, she can detect your location in advance... feels like my earlier guess was right, you've got quite a lot of this stuff on you... let me take a look."

Rising and walking toward the main hall, retrieving a huge mirror, the Capricorn Director ran his hand around the mirror's edge, then propped the meter-tall mirror before Li Ang, raised his hand and slapped the mirror surface hard!

"Hum!"

Amid a strange resonance, the faint halo belonging to the 【Anomaly Purification】 secret art rapidly spread from the Capricorn Director's palm, enveloping the entire mirror.

And when the halo faded, Li Ang's reflection in the mirror trembled slightly, then as if someone had splashed a basin of paint, his whole body rippled with large patches of patterns and spots of various colors.

"Holy shit! How can there be so many?!!"

Looking at himself in the mirror "painted" into a little colorful person, Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, then he looked at the Capricorn Director:

"Are these all marks those True Gods left on me?"

"Uh... not entirely..."

Looking at the riotously colorful Li Ang in the mirror, the Capricorn Director's smile stiffened slightly, then he spoke with a somewhat strange expression:

"Strictly speaking... although these also have a certain positioning effect, they're actually all Primordial God Language."

"Primordial God Language?"

"It's a unique communication method between True Gods; generally only True Gods who've entered the Primordial God Dais and possess Authority can see it, though I've researched some."

After explaining what Primordial God Language is, the Capricorn Director pointed at the pink bubbles on Li Ang's arm and translated:

"For instance this line, should be from the Dream Realm True God, meaning 'What the fuck is this thing, how did it climb back up from the Fallen Soul Black Abyss's toilet and gnaw my palace'."

"..."

"And this line, should be from the Forge God; it says... hmm... I won't recite the specific content, but the core idea is hoping to have some intimate relations beyond friendship with your female elders."

"..."

"This sentence should be the mark left by the Hound of the Death Guard, literally translated as 'Wang Wang Wang!' But I happen to know a bit of dog language, and what it probably said was 'Damn! Next time this brat comes to the Dead Realm, I'll eat him!'"
