Chapter 3941: Source of the Spark

~10 min read 1,853 words

Audrey and Megan couldn't pick up the God's Gift Box, and Xia De didn't know how Luweiya picked it up.

In short, under the gaze of the three ladies and a cat, Xia De knelt on one knee and reached out to the gift box on the ground, taking out this week's gift.

It was not a parchment recording secrets or a stone tablet recording ancient knowledge. What appeared in Xia De's hand was a lump of mud, or rather, a lump of mud in the shape of an eye.

This mud itself was unremarkable, and Xia De was very sure that this was the product of ordinary soil mixed with water. As for the shape the mud was molded into, it looked like a child's handiwork, but even though it was very abstract, Xia De was still sure that it was an eye.

As for this week's task, it was to play with mud with friends... This task was very consistent with the task requirements for children.

"What does this mean?"

Luweiya frowned slightly, but Megan figured it out:

"When Winnie introduced the 【Life Spark】, did she say that although the 'Life Spark' mostly appears on mechanical creations, it can actually give life to equipment created by most intelligent lives, not limited to metal materials?"

Luweiya then also understood:

"Yes, it's just because intelligent lives use metal the most, so this abnormality appears more on metal.

But if Xia De molds an eye himself with mud and casts the Qishu 【Active Mud】, this theoretically also belongs to 'precision equipment created by intelligent life.'

In this way, could it be that this ancient god's hint to Xia De means to let Xia De find a way to transfer the 'Life Spark' to the eye he molded? Eyes have extremely special significance in the eyes of the believers of that ancient god of creation. Perhaps this method can completely imprison that kind of contagiousness."

This interpretation was indeed very reasonable, but Xia De was still worried that if he guessed wrong, or if everyone missed some important steps, there would be big trouble.

So Xia De said to Luweiya again:

"Let's be cautious... Megan, Audrey, you cast the sealing technique just now again to temporarily seal this nearly inactive 【Active Metal】, and then I will seal your seal into a wooden coffin.

We will go to Fatumunster Island. Luweiya, prepare to use the 【Fate Pedestal】 for a divination."

As he said this, he cast "Key of the Gate · Cinderella," patted the girls and himself on the shoulder, and changed them all into outerwear suitable for going out.

As for why they were going to Fatumunster Island, of course, it was because Xia De was not a lunatic and would not keep an unknowable-level relic in his basement for a long time. Not long after the Battle of Fate, after obtaining the consent of Luweiya and Bella, he placed that relic at the top of the 【Ten Thousand Phenomena Tower】, the highest point of the Fate Ruins on the top of the snowy mountain, instead of the "Fate Casino" originally planned.

The divinity in the "Fate Egg" that originally existed in the Ten Thousand Phenomena Tower was absorbed by Xia De. Although this tower no longer had the power to "exhibit all possibilities," it still had a very strong sealing ability.

And the "Fate Eggshell Fragments" that Xia De brought home were also made into a shell to contain the 【Fate Pedestal】 after being studied by the divination ladies, ensuring that it would absolutely not go out of control.

Xia De meant to let Luweiya use a special divination. Therefore, when the group left the basement and headed to the southern island, Xia De did not forget to bring the document-level relic coin 【Flesh Reward】.

Little Mia saw Xia De going out at night and followed along. The group appeared from the ruins under the Witch Tower and then rose directly to the highest peak of the snowy mountain, and soon entered the interior of the tower that the Church people dared not approach at all.

When Luweiya used the special coin for divination, Xia De and Megan and Audrey waited on the next floor of the tower for the time being. Luweiya's divination did not take too long. The hint given by the 【God's Gift Box】 was enough, and with the cooperation of the 【Fate Pedestal】, this divination was a great success.

"I will re-contain the 【Fate Pedestal】 with eggshells, and then we will go home. I know what to do."

The speculation of Luweiya and Megan just now was completely correct. The hint indeed meant to let Xia De mold an eye with 【Active Mud】. But after that, it was not to transfer the "Life Spark," but to let the 【Active Metal】 infect the eye and find a way to make the two completely fuse, so as to complete containment.

"Yes, use the 【Geocentric Furnace】 in the basement for forging, and fuse the eye and metal in this way."

And Luweiya's divination this time obtained more information beyond the hint of the artifact.

After returning home, she asked Xia De to take "Sun Fire" to strengthen the furnace firepower during the forging process, and to take "Moonlight Water" and inject red moon moonlight as a catalyst during the forging process.

She also asked the Edwards sisters to contribute the 【Breeding Mark】 that would shatter soon because it suffered heavy damage during the Battle of Fate as a material. Although this pink mark would definitely not give the witch the ability to breed and could only be used as a beautiful skin decoration to glow during certain activities, Megan and Audrey were still a bit reluctant:

"Princess Lei Qianya, Miss Jia Lin Na, and the others will also feel very sorry."

"If I remember correctly, it's just for the glowing effect. Xia De's 'Pink Book' has a production method for similar alchemy ink, and even a spell that can leave a mark."

"That's different. That kind of thing only glows, and at most has a catalytic effect. But every time this mark lights up, it represents another progress of the 'breeding' process. This is the affirmation of fate, which cannot be compared to simple glowing... Alright, we will contribute it."

After the four powers of sun, moon, earth, and fate were fully prepared, after Xia De molded the mud taken from the gift box into an eye that was gradually turning into a real eye, he added a small amount of his own blood to the mud that was gradually turning into a real eye according to Luweiya's reminder.

It was just because Xia De was not directly placing the mud in the eye socket where the eyeball was missing this time, so the speed of its transformation was very slow.

Finally, the breeding mark, the nearly inactive 【Active Metal】, the mud-flesh eye, the red moon moonlight water, and the 【Youthful Leaf】 of which Xia De only had the last piece left, were all added to the furnace.

The "breath of traversing the earth" consumed by this forging was quite a lot, but fortunately, Xia De always liked to run around, so he could pay for this consumption. But he had a feeling that what was being produced was probably something quite extraordinary.

And Luweiya was still explaining to Megan and Audrey, who were curious about this forging process:

"After seeing the results in a while, you will know why 【Active Metal】 was controlled by the 【Creation Church】. In my opinion, this relic going out of control this time is a good thing, otherwise, it would be difficult for us to get close to the truth."

The forging process went very smoothly. When Xia De opened the furnace from the top, what he saw was a silver metal eye.

The metal eye was smaller than a normal human eyeball. After waiting for the cooling to end, Xia De let it fly into his palm. The moment he touched it, Xia De showed an astonished expression. After injecting a slight spirit, red light spots consistent with the "Life Spark" gradually appeared on the surface of the metal eye, and then the entire "metal eye" transformed into a non-physical flame eye composed of red "Life Spark."

That red flame eye floated in Xia De's palm. The moment they saw it, whether it was the witch or Luweiya, they all took a deep breath.

Even if it was just staring, the girls could feel the power possessed by that strange and twisted vitality.

That "eye" also looked at them like a living thing, but before the power of the "eye" could have further influence, Xia De controlled the eye to transform back into silver metal material again and fell back into his palm. In the metal state, it looked unremarkable. Unless directly touched, even Xia De could not feel the power it possessed.

"Is this the Life Spark? Xia De's description is too accurate! I have never seen anything similar. This kind of entity flame after the concept of 'life' is twisted is simply too amazing! This crystal after vitality has deteriorated is simply a miracle!"

Megan exclaimed in a low voice, but Luweiya shook her head:

"Xia De's description of those scattered red light spots is the 'Life Spark.' This is something more advanced than the 'spark' forged by the spark, active metal, and many other powers. I think calling it 'Source of the Spark' is more appropriate."

She explained:

"I learned from divination that only special materials like 【Active Metal】 can produce 'Source of the Spark' when combined with specific means.

Its effect is very simple. First, any intelligent life creation watched by the Source of the Spark will possess a 'spark' after a certain period of time and undergo mutation due to the twisted spark; second, the Source of the Spark can absorb the 'Life Spark' directly exposed in front of it. Of course, if it doesn't absorb it, it's fine. The spark will disappear as Xia De described, but the possibility of the spark reappearing in this area will increase later."

The four left the 【Geocentric Furnace】 together, and Xia De held the thing in his hand:

"After being forged, my understanding of the essence of the 'spark' has become clearer. I am very sure that this is the materialized manifestation of the 'Calamity of Creation' in the material world. Its essence is no different from things like twisted tree holes and infinite snakes."

And under normal circumstances, Xia De would absolutely not use the power of this kind of thing.

Megan and Audrey also understood this point:

"But with this, when encountering out-of-control equipment in the future, although we still need to use the 【Black Moon Mark】 or use means like the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】, at least we can completely eliminate the subsequent risks by absorbing the spark.

Even, if we can find a way to extract the spark directly without destroying the equipment later, the value of this Source of the Spark will be even higher." ===== CHAPTER 3942 =====
