Chapter 146: Indulgent and Wanton, Hot-Blooded and Reckless

This is a strange feeling.

It is completely different from when he killed Enrike, Harold, and Lifusi.

Especially Lifusi Fulansi.

Both were unprepared to resist, both hoped to actively die at Lin Ke's hands, but their motives and emotional cores were not on the same level as the God Slayers.

One was to add a chip to his own "revenge";

One was to exchange everything he had for his daughter's redemption.

One selfish, one selfless.

Gazing at the God Slayers who kept their heads bowed, awaiting "grace" and "mercy," Lin Ke let out a faint sigh and chose to "respond."

He intended to fulfill the God Slayers' earnest plea.

A mysterious connection was established between him and the "seed".

Upon sensing it, Lin Ke discovered he could control everything about the "seed," omniscient and omnipotent.

As long as Lin Ke had a need, and the "seed" was capable of fulfilling it, a corresponding change would occur.

At the core, Lin Ke's will was carried out.

The coffin lid was lifted, revealing a tiny skeleton.

Source power, shimmering with precious light, gathered and flowed into the coffin, wrapping the tiny skeleton, gradually permeating it.

The pallid withered bones slowly gleamed with the luster of life.

Flesh and blood grew bit by bit.

Gradually forming a complete body.

A soul answered the call, awakening and merging into the body.

Reborn into a lovely, innocent little girl like an elf.

A dress mainly green, adorned with white lotus flowers, automatically clothed the little girl.

Making her appear even more pure and innocent.

The little girl's long eyelashes fluttered a few times.

Then her eyelids slowly opened.

Her big eyes stared at the ceiling of the tomb chamber, showing a puzzled expression.

Her speaking eyes seemed to ask, "Where am I?"

"Dad?"

The little girl looked left and right, realizing she was alone in a cramped space, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Her voice trembled as she called out to her last remaining kin, her sole reliance.

"Thank You, Almighty and Merciful Lord"

"May Your light forever shine upon Your realm"

The God Slayer, hearing his daughter's voice, prayed full of gratitude.

Then he stood up, lifting the resurrected daughter from the coffin.

Looking at the pale bony frame before her, the little girl was not afraid; instead, she wrapped her arms tightly around the skeleton, unwilling to let go.

"Dad, where did you go? I miss you so much!"

The little girl lay on the God Slayer's shoulder, tear after tear continuously falling.

Somehow, she seemed to have a premonition of what was about to happen.

She began to speak, and wouldn't stop speaking.

Her sweet voice echoed in the round tomb chamber.

She spoke of her longing, her love, and her pleas.

"Dad, I slept for a very long time this time."

"But I'm not afraid."

"I feel that Dad has always been with me."

"With Dad around, I'm not afraid."

"Dad, you'll continue to stay with me, right?"

"You won't leave me, right?"

"You said you would always stay with me."

"Dad, please don't leave me, okay?"

"Okay?"

"Please."

The God Slayer supported his daughter's back with his left hand, lightly stroked her head with his right, kissed her cheek, and said tenderly: "Live well, take care of yourself, my daughter."

As his words faded, the God Slayer's entire bony body, from feet to head, gradually turned to dust and completely dissipated.

The little girl automatically hovered in midair, eyes red, lips pursed, holding back her voice, not crying out loud.

Only tears kept falling.

Once the last speck of dust had vanished, the final trace of the God Slayer's existence in the world disappeared.

She finally could no longer hold back and burst into loud wailing.

"Dad~"

The greatest joy in the mortal world can be a long-awaited reunion.

The deepest pain may be never being able to see loved ones again.

Lin Ke looked away, unable to bear watching further.

He couldn't help but recall the words he had said to Mo Li earlier.

"Are you able to disregard countless lives for your own benefit?"

On the wizard's path, the questioning of humanity is constantly taking place.

Morality? Conscience?

Heh…

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Ke's expression turned indifferent as he asked, "This 'seed' should be extremely precious; why would it be given to me as an extra reward?"

After establishing a connection with the 'seed', Lin Ke already knew how the 'seed' was born.

Naturally, he also knew the value of the 'seed'.

A world-origin seed with the potential to grow into a small world would arouse covetousness even in a Paro wizard.

Even if it requires investing a large amount of resources to cultivate it.

This doubt, Lin Ke hopes to resolve; otherwise, holding it would make him uneasy.

The voice sounded, which could be considered an answer to Lin Ke's question.

"First-year Two Districts Grand Comparison, the first place receives an extra reward, which is customary."

This world is relatively special; it can relatively completely preserve its fragmented origin, which then develops into an origin seed, considered an unexpected delight, and is highly related to your actions.

"It was not given to you; rather, the origin seed chose you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ke's doubts were largely resolved, but he still wanted to understand a couple of details.

It's a pity there was no opportunity.

The rewards had been distributed, and he was kicked out of the light-wall space.

Waiting to step into the interworld transmission gate, to return to the wizard world.

Gazing at the 'seed' floating before him, Lin Ke's thought moved, and he incorporated it into his sea of consciousness.

After some manipulation, the true 'seed' sank into the lake, while only an illusion hovered above the lake surface.

As for the little girl at the core of the 'seed', she had long ceased her wailing and returned to a state of eternal slumber.

She is already a 'spirit', deeply bound to the origin seed, with authority second only to Lin Ke.

The origin seed requires a large amount of resources to cultivate, and she likewise needs them.

Sleep can aid development.

It can also alleviate sorrow (?).

Lin Ke stepped forward and entered the light gate.

Moments later, Lin Ke's figure appeared in the square.

Several dozen hover trains were neatly parked outside the square.

People had already begun boarding the hover trains, waiting to return to the academy.

Lin Ke, carrying a large pack, walked toward the hover train he had ridden on earlier.

Mo Li, Ba Ke, Aegio, Dijie, Lin En, and Dalton were all on the train.

The Social Anxiety Trio—Betty McGee, Mide Brent, and Terry Nollem—deliberately swapped seats to sit beside the Benevolent Brother Group.

Among the 30 first-year Newbloods from the South District participating in the competition, only Lin Ke was missing.

"Boss, you finally came out."

Ba Ke waved his hand and deliberately shouted, "Isn't it that you got first place, and the academy gave you too many rewards to count?"

Upon hearing that tone, Lin Ke knew for sure that someone had made sarcastic remarks while he was absent.

Ba Ke couldn't help but get into an argument with the other party.

Now more than ever, he wanted to press the advantage and mock them thoroughly.

Lin Ke chuckled and said, "Indeed I got first place, but the rewards aren't that many."

There is currently someone who genuinely acknowledges you as boss; occasionally satisfying his little brother's desire to show off is not unacceptable.

Moreover, Lin Ke's victory in the Two Districts Grand Comparison is not something that needs to be hidden.

It won't be long before everyone knows.

The academy cannot possibly not announce it.

"I said it, it's definitely my boss who got first place."

Ba Ke raised his head, displaying an air of immense pride, as if he shared in the honor.

His eyes would occasionally glance askance at certain people.

Lin Ke followed Ba Ke's gaze and saw that the object of the sidelong glance was none other than Isco Alex.

Turns out it's this jerk, disdainfully looking down—no problem.

Several brothers of the Benevolent Brother Group immediately began celebrating.

Isco Alex's complexion was awful, like that of a corpse.

The Social Anxiety Group was eager to give it a try, seeming to want to join in, which is somewhat inconsistent with their social anxiety persona.

Lin Ke ignored the complex looks from others, walked to the seat deliberately left for Mo Li beside the Benevolent Brother Group amid their clamor, and sat down.

The hover train started up and drove toward the academy.

Mo Li remained silent for a long time, then seemingly offhandedly said, "I don't even know what the final outcome of that 'world' is."

"Annihilation-style Salvation," they only saw destruction on the giant screen, with no trace of salvation.

The completion of the positive side's mission is actually just the academy's judgment.

Whether there will be salvation afterward, Mo Li doesn't know; Mo Li wants to know.

Lin Ke pondered and said, "Destruction precedes construction; without destruction there can be no establishment. Destruction is always easier than construction, requiring time to slowly recover."

"Hmm."

Mo Li nodded, not asking further.

She also knew this reasoning, she just wanted to get some definite information from Lin Ke.

Or maybe a hint.

"Rest first."

The car was crowded and noisy, Lin Ke didn't want to talk too much.

Moreover, digging the tunnel was still tiring.

After crossing the interworld teleportation gate and switching to the human realm, in fact not much time had passed.

His body was still fatigued.

The Benevolent Brother Group caused a disturbance for a while, then also felt it had calmed down.

The hovercraft drove into the academy in a relatively quiet atmosphere.

Paro Wizard actually brought Selin Wizard and Kodi Wizard to wait at the station!

His face glowed red, full of vigor.

Everyone in the car knew about the bet between Paro Wizard and Peter Leonnel Wizard; seeing this scene, who wouldn't know who they were waiting for?

Thus, under the Benevolent Brother Group's undisguised "threats," they chose to let Lin Ke be the first to get off the car.

Lan Ni. Tai Le bit her lower lip, turned her head away, not looking at Lin Ke nor outside the window.

Today's sunlight was a bit too glaring.

"Come, come over, hurry over."

As soon as Lin Ke got off the car, Paro Wizard immediately waved, appearing very enthusiastic.

"Hello, Paro Wizard, I've met Selin Wizard, I've met Kodi Wizard."

Lin Ke walked a few steps quickly, not making the several wait.

He also had a clear idea in his mind, not relying on his current status as a "meritorious one" to lose etiquette.

As before, respectful, he politely greeted each of the three wizards in turn.

"Good, good, you're great."

Paro Wizard laughed heartily, very satisfied with Lin Ke's performance in the Two Districts Grand Comparison, and even more satisfied with his performance after getting off the car.

Selin Wizard curled the corner of her mouth into a faint smile, nodding at Lin Ke.

Kodi Wizard still had that stern face, saying nothing.

"Come, let's go to a place."

Paro Wizard called out, took the lead, and boarded a low-key luxurious hovercraft.

Lin Ke naturally followed behind Selin Wizard and Kodi Wizard.

The hovercraft's speed was extremely fast.

Just like Paro Wizard's urgent mood at the moment.

Not long after, Ruowosuosi City came into view.

After entering the city, the hovercraft went straight from Ring City Boulevard to the North District, stopping in front of a villa.

Paro Wizard got off first, then Selin Wizard, then Kodi Wizard in turn.

Lin Ke, as a small fry, walked last, following the three big shots into the villa.

This was Lin Ke's first time setting foot on North District land.

His previous visit was merely sitting on the orbital transit train, hastily glancing over.

Not to mention entering the interiors of these villas.

Following the attendant's guidance, the group arrived at a private room on the third floor.

"Peter, long time no see!"

Paro Wizard, upon entering the private room, opened his arms in an embrace, drew out his tone, and loudly and warmly greeted Peter Leonnel Wizard.

Lin Ke felt this scene was familiar.

After thinking carefully, he realized that last time at the West District black market arena, Peter Leonnel had greeted Paro Wizard in exactly this way.

This is using their own method against them.

"Paro, we only saw each other a few days ago."

Peter Leonnel's face was grim, his tone also unpleasant.

It seemed like seeing an annoying fly, yet no matter how they tried, they couldn't drive it away.

"Haha, Peter, not seeing you for a day makes me feel like several years have passed."

Paro Wizard laughed heartily, smug, the very picture of a petty person getting his way: "After all, Perry Sage's Diamond is indeed mine. And you personally delivered it, hahahaha……"

Touching the sore spot.

Amomum also wants pig heart!

Simply a model of a "true man."

Lin Ke inwardly exclaimed, learned it, learned it.

"Hmph!"

Peter Leonnel's face grew even darker, almost dripping water.

He let out a muffled grunt, pulled a box from his pocket, and threw it out.

Without seeing Paro Wizard make any move, the box automatically turned and flew into his hand.

Opening it, a flawless colored diamond revealed its true appearance.

It came with a captivating effect, making one unable to resist becoming engrossed at first sight.

Lin Ke quickly averted his gaze, daring not to look longer.

Good, good.

Paro Wizard held the colored diamond, placed it under the light, and freely admired it, repeatedly uttering praise.

However, this still wasn't enough to satisfy him.

After thinking, Paro Wizard pulled a metal staff from his clothing pocket and set the colored diamond into the reserved notch at the staff's tip.

The Percy Sage Diamond Staff Set was now complete.

"Good, really good!"

Paro Wizard raised the staff and again admired the beauty of the colored diamond under the light.

Peter Lionel saw this scene and was so angry his eyes almost shot fire.

He's really bullying people too much!

"Oh dear, Peter, look, how beautiful."

Paro Wizard, still not satisfied, stabbed another knife into Peter Lionel's wound.

"Enough!"

Peter Lionel shoved aside Soren Lucia's hand that had been pressing on him, sprang to his feet, and shouted, "Don't go too far, Paro. Know when to stop; you don't want me to really lose my temper, do you?"

"Haha, good, good, I'll stop now, I'll stop now."

Paro Wizard laughed while agreeing, and at the same time pulled out a handkerchief.

In front of Peter Lionel, he carefully wiped the Percy Sage Diamond Staff clean before putting it back in his pocket.

This is more than just perfunctory; it's outright perfunctory!

Peter Lionel became even more furious.

"Come, Lin Ke, over here; let Lionel Wizard, and... uh... Soren Wizard take a good look at you, to help me win the bet and achieve great merit in obtaining the Percy Sage's Diamond."

Paro Wizard had held it in for over two months; today he could finally vent it all, and he wouldn't let it end lightly.

After taking his revenge, he also wanted Lin Ke to step forward and kick him a couple of times.

"Yes, Paro Wizard."

Lin Ke fully activated the Brain Seal Technique, withstanding the powerful aura emitted by Peter Lionel and Soren Lucia.

With a calm expression and steady steps, he walked forward to a position half a body length behind Paro Wizard.

"What are you standing there for? Say hello."

Paro Wizard seemed to urge him impatiently, but was actually very pleased with Lin Ke's performance.

Not every first-year wizard apprentice can withstand the aura of two third-rank wizards, one of whom is about to advance to sage, and remain so composed.

At least, no second such person can be found in the Pureblood Will.

"I have greeted the two wizards; I wish them a good mood."

Lin Ke organized his words, suddenly clenched his molars, and, uncharacteristically bold, spoke recklessly:

"I feel that killing members of the Pureblood Will wouldn't be difficult, especially that Cui... whatever... Lucia."

"Tsk, she'd fall with just a push."

"I haven't even exerted force, and she already lay down crying out."

"We haven't had enough fun yet."

"Not enough excitement!"
