Chapter 386: Celestial Maiden Beast and the Undying Lizard

This information alone revealed the identity and background of this Child of the World.

It once again showed Li Yu just how vast the Boundless Spirit Realm truly is; it is indeed without end.

This information contained a universe, a divine entity suspected to be of Sovereign-level, a race numbering in the billions... yet none of them were in any of the three major multiverses, but rather another special plane.

The word "Boundless"!

It is truly precise.

Of course, this also once again highlights how heaven-defying the now-fully-upgraded Demon Star Order is; the tentacles of this artifact's authority have already reached deep into countless planes and universes of the Boundless Spirit Realm.

This makes Li Yu's four million merit points exceptionally useful.

Sure enough, the next moment, rows of exchange lists flickered and appeared before Li Yu's eyes.

Summoning this information naturally cost him quite a few merit points.

But with a balance of four million, deducting a few thousand or nearly ten thousand was not noticeable at all.

Li Yu browsed quickly and eliminated almost all of them.

The "big fish" he wanted to hook was not an ordinary member of the Golden Race, but a God-Chosen who could stand out and surpass all competition of the Golden Race on a planet.

Ordinary curiosities could not tempt such a one.

Fortunately, he soon saw suitable bait, and more than one kind:

"Light Worm!"

"This is a specialty curiosity of the multiverse and also a dimensional creature. They usually appear inexplicably in some dimensional rifts, feeding on various dead stars and light radiation. After reaching adulthood, they take on different forms; the most famous is a legendary lifeform called the [Celestial Maiden Beast]."

"The strength of a Light Worm is related to its food; those with good luck are comparable to divine entities upon adulthood, while those with bad luck are not even as good as the legendary level."

"They are one of the favorite foods and pets of some True Gods related to 'light'."

"For the Golden Race, they are an supreme delicacy. Eating one not only enhances strength but also increases lifespan by hundreds of years, and one will not feel hunger for thousands of years."

"In the two activities that God-Chosen of the Lord of All Lights must perform—Starry Sky Trials and proselytizing—there are tasks to capture Light Worms."

"Exchange price: 100,000 merit points for an egg, 200,000 for a sub-adult."

"Adult form currently unavailable."

"Star of Embers"

"This is a special curiosity. When some sentient solar stars or powerful lifeforms related to light die, their remains have a certain chance of turning into such a curiosity, which usually contains a high concentration of divine Qi."

"This kind of curiosity is an extremely precious opportunity and a heaven-sent treasure for members of the Golden Race and God-Chosen of the Lord of All Lights."

"As long as one can swallow it and reignite it within the body, one can greatly increase one's strength."

"One of the main purposes of the Starry Sky Trials for Golden Race prodigies is to find this item."

"It can also be used as a sacrifice to the [Lord of All Lights] in exchange for a True God's blessing."

"At the same time, this item is also one of the favorite sacrifices of gods like the [Lord of the Furnace], [Hao Tian], and [Lord of Judgment]; as long as it is sacrificed, there will be rewards."

"Exchange price: Varies depending on the concentration of divine Qi contained; 100,000 merit points for the lowest quality, and so on... the maximum limit requires ten million merit points."

"Wonderful."

Li Yu stared at these two pieces of information, his eyes shining.

Although there are more than just these two types of high-level curiosities or creatures that can tempt Golden Race prodigies.

But others are not as good as these two.

For example, there is a special race called the [Dark Maiden Beast], which is rare in number, reproduces parthenogenetically, and the entire group is proficient in charm; they are one of the kin of the [Daughter of All Darkness], a True God who is the sworn enemy of the Lord of All Lights.

Once the Golden Race and the God-Chosen of Light encounter other kin of that evil god, such as the Black Iron Race or Night Beasts, they will kill them all.

Only with these Dark Maiden Beasts do they often inexplicably engage in illicit affairs.

Logically speaking, if exchanged, it could also tempt that Morning Star.

The reason it won't work is, first, the method of temptation is wrong, and second, the price is too expensive; exchanging for one costs as much as 500,000 merit points.

Fortunately, those two items are already enough.

Li Yu felt like exclaiming again at how useful the Demon Star Order is.

"According to that old fellow Ancient Saint, that Golden Race prodigy called 'Morning Star' usually looks like a Golden shell, but when he reveals his true form, he is a giant of light, terrifying in battle, possessing the power of space combat, and his body is filled with light to the microscopic level, immune to all evil."

"If I want to hook him, let my bait thread invade, alter his cognition, and subtly control him... things like private kitchen spiritual food are impossible to achieve. And for existences like the Dark Maiden Beast, I would have to control it first after exchanging it, making it second-hand; it's too expensive, too troublesome, and the success rate is too low."

"It must be a curiosity that can be concealed, is not easy to digest, and that he would voluntarily swallow."

"Both the Light Worm and the Star of Embers will do."

"This big fish will likely be mine."

These certain thoughts arose in Li Yu's mind, but he did not exchange them immediately.

No rush!

Wait until he returns to Mancheng and has a chance to make contact before exchanging; otherwise, if there is no chance to meet, wouldn't it be a waste?

With a shift in his thoughts, information about another "Child of the World" appeared in his mind.

"Blade of Immortality."

"A prodigy from a nameless plane world in the Boundless Spirit Realm. Within that world exists a special race called the [Immortals]. All members of this race possess extremely powerful combat strength and an attribute called 'immortality,' making them almost impossible to kill."

"And the Blade of Immortality is the best of this race, possessing the ability to mimic the forms of all things and the power to extinguish all laws."

"That world and the Immortal race spend most of their time in slumber... only every once in a while will a prodigy be born, crossing the world barrier to go to other planes and worlds to slaughter wantonly or destroy worlds."

"The purpose is to collect enough 'vitality' to return to their homeland and use the collected vitality to maintain their world from perishing."

"This is the mission of the Immortal race!"

"And the Blade of Immortality is the prodigy of this generation."

"It's just that he had just broken through the world barrier and hadn't had time to slaughter before he encountered the Ancient Saint, and for some reason, he was persuaded by the Ancient Saint to come and participate in the Boundless Spirit Realm Grand Tournament."

"The truth behind it is: a divine entity called the [Red King] is sleeping within that world. The Immortal race is the only kin of this god, and their mission for being created is to maintain their own vitality so as not to slowly die in slumber."

"The Ancient Saint and the Red King reached a secret agreement, and with the other's cooperation, they refined the 'Blade of Immortality' into a Child of the World."

"The purpose of this move is to target the True God [Red God], who possesses supreme killing power."

"Because there is also a mysterious connection between the Red King and the Red God; they are gods of the same attribute."

"Although the states of the two are completely incomparable, if they were to truly fight, the Red God, who is in a peak, undamaged state, possesses Sovereign-level combat power and could easily tear the [Red King] apart and devour it."

"But the Ancient Saint laid out his entire plan and promised that once the world-collapse plan is successfully implemented, the Red God will definitely be severely injured."

"At that time, he will help the Red King devour the Red God."

After reading this, Li Yu couldn't help but gasp again.

Sure enough!

Any Child of the World that the Ancient Saint would actively mention is extraordinary in both background and combat power.

Li Yu didn't care much about the evil god "Red King" in this secret, as there wasn't much information.

But the Blade of Immortality, who was refined into a Child of the World! After reading the details, Li Yu couldn't help but click his tongue.

No other reason, it was just too terrifying.

According to the Ancient Saint's description: not only is this prodigy immortal, but he can also mimic all things and possesses the power to extinguish all laws.

What is extinguishing all laws?

Very simple; it is equivalent to the Ten Thousand Laws Destruction Sword Array, a major move Li Yu often uses after spending a great price to buff it, but it is something the other party is born with.

And in terms of intensity, it is even more powerful.

It can be said that it has almost completely transcended the level of the legendary tier.

When fighting, it is no different from a demigod.

Even some demigods who are not good at fighting might be killed if they face him.

Li Yu imagined the scene of fighting him in his mind.

The next second, he got the answer:

"Run!"

"Whether it's a sneak attack or a head-on fight, now, facing such a killing prodigy bred by an entire world, I have no second choice but to run."

"If I force a fight, although I won't die in the short term, I won't be able to outlast the opponent in the end."

"There are indeed countless freaks in the Boundless Spirit Realm."

"If such an existence could be hooked by my line, that would simply..."

While sighing at how freakish and terrifying the opponent was, Li Yu was also fearless, calculating how to hook the opponent.

And he immediately called out, wanting the Demon Star to display all exchangeable curiosities that could tempt the opponent.

Unlike the previous Child of the World!

The exchange list for this one was pitifully small, with only a few items.

But as Li Yu scanned through them, he realized they were all usable.

"Spring of Life!"

"This is a curiosity containing infinite vitality. Besides appearing in the divine kingdoms of True Gods with relevant authority like the [Mother of Eternity] or the [Goddess of Life], it occasionally appears in some special planes and universes, although the grade is mostly inferior to the spring eyes transformed from True God authority."

"Because a race like the [Blade of Immortality] has a near-perverted need for 'vitality,' they simply cannot refuse the temptation of the Spring of Life."

"Once obtained, they will choose to swallow it into their bodies first, carrying it home in their physical form."

"Exchange price: 500,000 merit points for the lowest-grade spring eye, and so on... the highest grade currently exchangeable requires ten million merit points."

"Spring eyes transformed from authority currently unavailable."

"Undying Sin-Beast!"

"This is a type of conceptual lifeform that appears randomly across different planes and universes. Each Sin-Beast has a different form—perhaps a puddle of gelatinous flesh, a human, a lizard, or even a mass of mist, and so on. The commonality is that they cannot be killed and possess unimaginable vitality, though most lack combat ability."

"This type of lifeform is, in essence, the manifestation of the authority of 'immortality and indestructibility'."

"One of the tasks of the Blade of Immortality after leaving home is to collect such authorities."

"As long as one is encountered, it will likewise choose to assimilate and ingest it first, swallowing it into its body."

"Exchange price: Varies according to the strength of the conceptual concentration. One hundred thousand merit points can exchange for the weakest conceptual body, and so on... The currently strongest conceptual body is the [Undying Sin-Lizard], which requires ten million merit points to exchange."

"Hmm, tricky, but there are ways for all of them."

After finishing the list of exchangeable bait, Li Yu’s brows immediately relaxed, and a smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

He, Li Yu, was never one to frequently engage in slaughter and combat with others.

Quiet calculation is the best way to achieve victory.

Although in a head-on fight, he is no match for "Morning Star" or "Blade of Immortality," those two Sons of the World who look terrifying.

But Li Yu estimated in his heart that he already had a fair amount of certainty in hooking these two terrifying prodigies onto his fishing line.

With this thought in mind, Li Yu simply couldn't be bothered to confirm the information and bait for the other "Sons of the World."

Having verified the authority and resources currently possessed by the Demon Star Order, it was enough to facilitate his actions!

Thinking according to the standards of these two Sons of the World.

For other Sons of the World, regardless of their power or background, the bait required would be about the same.

The bait needed to fish for one would be at most a few hundred thousand points.

Four million merit points are completely sufficient to use.

Li Yu pondered to himself:

"My requirements aren't high either; the Ancient Sage created about several dozen Sons of the World."

"One represents a world, or a massive planet."

"I only need to subtly control ten, or even seven or eight, and that will be enough to change some situations at critical moments."

"I don't necessarily have to do anything major in the end."

"But the initial preparations must be made, lest there be no opportunity to act when I want to stir up trouble."

"Besides, this is also my way of cultivation. Every Son of the World can bring me different authority and power. The Dao of Law-Stealing is indeed convenient."

"Speaking of which, when I was on that [Pioneer], I intercepted a ray of divine radiance from Haotian and ground it into a [Haotian Divine Needle]."

"Since the Lord of All Lights and Haotian are True Gods of the same attribute, could this thing also be used to lure 'Morning Star,' or to ambush him... and that Blade of Immortality, since it needs vitality, wouldn't I, as an alternative Son of the Vortex God, also have some allure..."

While letting his thoughts wander, Li Yu waved away the exchange list before him.

Immediately, he seemed to recall something.

With a shift of his mind, a familiar scene suddenly appeared before him.

The Prodigy Assembly Star Group!

That’s right, he was peeping at the screen again.

The Prodigy Assembly Star Group of the past had varying atmospheres, but generally, every member possessed an extraordinary bearing.

As for why?

It is very simple.

Regardless of whether they could win first place in contributions during the conquest missions.

It did not hinder the fact that every member in the Star Group was an absolute heaven-favored prodigy in the real world.

After all, ordinary people rarely receive the favor of the Demon Star Order, and even if there were lucky ones, they would die in the first mission.

But now, an atmosphere that was previously impossible had appeared:

Panic!

The first sentence Li Yu saw while peeping at the screen consisted of only four words:

"We are finished!"
