I need your help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his exchanges with Aerin and Caesar, Orion also needed support from someone stronger than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just tell me what’s up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to help me purify the Lord’s Stone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further explanation, Arthas immediately initiated a trade with Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn’t hesitate and traded over the four remaining Lord’s Stones in his possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like the continent you’re on isn’t very peaceful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all right. The war has ended for now, and I don’t think there will be any large-scale battles anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after Orion sent that message, Arthas initiated another trade with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the trade interface, four attribute-free Lord’s Stones appeared, which greatly surprised Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though puzzled, Orion still accepted the trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are ones I purified before. You’re in a hurry, so take them first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was it. Orion’s doubts were cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly that it had taken Arthas several months to purify a Lord’s Stone before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that back then Arthas didn’t just purify one stone—he must have purified quite a few Lord’s Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After expressing his gratitude, Orion received no further reply from Arthas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Necro Realm, Bone Throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthas felt both excited and a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, after completing the trade with Orion, he noticed that a ring on his finger bone was scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the ring, which grew hotter by the second, Arthas saw it suddenly ignite and turn to ash in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that small pile of ash, a sudden flash of destiny’s light appeared, falling into Arthas’s other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that hand lay the four Lord’s Stones Orion had just traded over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthas suppressed the surge of emotion in his heart and carefully studied the four Lord’s Stones in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his feelings kept fluctuating—excitement, doubt, confusion, delight, then more puzzlement…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after a long while did Arthas cautiously put the four Lord’s Stones away, afraid he might lose them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been sitting on this Bone Throne for half a month now. The Destiny Ring shattering definitely has nothing to do with me personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after I completed a trade with Hulk, the Destiny Ring suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity for me to become a demigod has emerged. Could it be related to Hulk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day was of utmost importance for Arthas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that his chance to become a demigod had appeared and was contained within those four Lord’s Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t sure which one of them held the key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the unknown void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thresh suddenly opened one eye and gazed toward the Necro Realm, seeing the Lord’s Stones in Arthas’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent. The opportunity has surfaced. It won’t be long before Arthas becomes a demigod!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew where that voice came from, and soon it vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thresh closed the eye he had opened, and everything returned to nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the woods, at a makeshift camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion also opened his eyes, feeling quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With four attribute-free Lord’s Stones, his power could advance even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eagerly anticipating whether he could push his own strength to a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, Torba arrived outside the tent, carrying a piece of cooked beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, the food is ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion gave a small nod and stepped out of the tent. Taking the food Torba offered, Orion took a big bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Otho returned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord. Otho is back. They dragged in seven black bull beasts and are currently teaching the younglings how to handle them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded. After quickly finishing his meal, he gave an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go fetch Rolan and Steelblade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torba nodded and headed into another part of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, Rolan and Steelblade arrived at Orion’s makeshift tent, one behind the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rolan greets Mentor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steelblade greets the esteemed Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at them, Orion noted that Steelblade was even younger than Rolan. Being sent out for a trial at such a young age, as Rendall demanded, had to be quite a challenge for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was the journey tiring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolan shook his head without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelblade was about to speak but suddenly recalled his father’s instructions: Whatever Rolan did, he should do as well. So Steelblade also shook his head, tightly shutting his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Orion found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelblade’s personality resembled Ursa’s—honest and straightforward, yet upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like that devote themselves wholeheartedly to what they believe is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you’ve seen, throughout the giants’ territory, everyone we passed treated us with the utmost respect—there wasn’t a hint of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from here on, it’ll be different. Once we cross that mountain, most inhabitants on the other side are Orcs or Beastfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m asking you to defeat the peers in each Orc tribe you encounter on the road ahead. Do you think you can do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving this personal task from Orion, Rolan and Steelblade were brimming with fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor, as your disciple, I’ll beat them all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, I will, too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded, then took two large chunks of roasted meat from Torba and handed them to Rolan and Steelblade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, eat up—you’ll need your strength if you plan on beating anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolan and Steelblade accepted the meat and left, full of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, Rolan’s progress is remarkable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he waits until adulthood to complete his bloodline trial, he might even advance to Alpha-level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dace passed Orion a waterskin, speaking in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion took it and had a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The younger generation is destined to surpass ours. The Horde’s accumulated resources and heavy investment are simply on another level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dace nodded, thoroughly agreeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ursa’s younger brother is impressive, too—he’s not far behind Rolan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelblade’s path had been different from Rolan’s. Steelblade had guidance and care from Rendall and Ursa from an early age, and his strength now came from both talent and hard work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Rolan, his gifts only began to show after Orion started teaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, overall, Rolan’s talent was a bit superior.\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c26bc9e9506560934738169efffb280414876546a33a62821113368081b2104","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-419","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-417",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
