"Would you like to take away the [Brilliant Gem]?"

[Confirm] [Cancel]

Lin Yi stood in the third-floor compartment of the Black Tortoise City [Library Pavilion]. Without much hesitation, he made his decision:

[Confirm]

Between the [Glorious Holy Robe] and the [Brilliant Gem], it's quite obvious that this is a special set of equipment targeted at the Demon Race.

If you could gather the two pieces as a set, it would give a great advantage in both offense and defense against the Demon Race.

Unfortunately, during this visit, Lin Yi could only take one item away, which forced him to make his choice and take the [Brilliant Gem].

The reason being that the 'Level +5' attribute on it had an irresistible allure for Lin Yi!

Ascending 5 levels out of thin air would save Lin Yi a lot of training time!

Moreover, as one's level increases, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult.

When you hit Lv80 and achieve the status of a demigod, this difference of 5 levels becomes a huge leap from demigod to True God!

Anyone with a sound mind would make the same choice as Lin Yi.

As Lin Yi pressed [Confirm], the next moment he found himself standing, bewildered, outside the [Library Pavilion].

At midnight, a cool breeze blew gently.

The plane trees rustled softly under the light touch of the breeze, sounding quite distinct under the night sky.

Lin Yi, coming to his senses, stood outside the closed door, looking longingly at it, regretful that he couldn't take the [Glorious Holy Robe] as well.

At this moment, a creaking sound from a rocking chair suddenly came through,

Lin Yi turned his head at the sound, only to find that there was no elderly figure in the rocking chair under the plane tree.

This scene sent chills down Lin Yi's spine.

"Where is everyone?"

Lin Yi tried calling out:

"Senior, are you there?"

But received no response.

Lin Yi looked around once more, and seeing that there was indeed no one, he bowed toward the rocking chair swaying in the moonlight and said:

"I've obtained the item I need."

Lin Yi looked across, still not receiving a response, and continued:

"I apologize for the prior disturbance and hope for your understanding, Senior."

"I shall take my leave now!"

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the rocking chair suddenly stopped.

But soon resumed rocking.

This somewhat confirmed to Lin Yi that there was indeed someone there.

However, why the person didn't reveal themselves puzzled Lin Yi greatly.

Seeing that the person had no intention of showing themselves, Lin Yi turned to leave.

What Lin Yi didn't see was.

As Lin Yi's figure disappeared into the night, an elderly figure gradually appeared on the rocking chair.

A trace of blood remained at the corner of his mouth, and he looked in the direction Lin Yi had left with clouded eyes.

On his wearied face, there appeared a relieved smile as he said: 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Saint Master, I believe you can do it."

At this time, not far from the [Library Pavilion], Aiborn stood with his hands behind his back on top of a building.

In Aiborn's view, the entire [Library Pavilion] along with the plane tree and the figure under it gradually disappeared as if snow and ice melting away.

Within moments.

The place where the [Library Pavilion] once stood had turned into an open space, empty.

Aiborn could only sigh softly, before turning around to vanish into the night.

...

Shortly thereafter, in the Elf Holy Hall, when Lin Yi presented the [Brilliant Gem], the Elf Great Elder Gamplov almost blurted out:

"You've already been to the 'Splendid Hall'?"

But realizing his slip of the tongue, he quickly corrected himself:

"Oh no, it's the 'Library Pavilion'..."

But Lin Yi wasn't foolish.

"So it's really called the 'Splendid Hall' then."

Seeing this, Gamplov decided not to argue further and directly stated:

"If I'm not mistaken, what you have in your hand should be the Brilliant Gem, right?"

Lin Yi looked at Gamplov in surprise:

"You know this?"

Gamplov nodded and said:

"This gem was acquired by the Elf King from [Paradise Island] back then."

"I was fortunate enough to witness it once."

"But later, it disappeared along with the [Elf Holy Ring] from our race."

"It was said to have been placed in the 'Library Pavilion' in Black Tortoise City by the previous Elf King."

"Now it seems, that indeed was the case."

Lin Yi, holding the gem, listened to Gamplov's words with a puzzled expression, murmuring:

"I never thought it would come from Paradise Island."

If that's the case.

Isn't it quite likely that this thing was left behind by the Celestial Race?

At the same time, Lin Yi recalled the [Elf Holy Ring] he saw on the third floor.

Unexpectedly, that ring was personally placed there by the Elf King, but... is that truly the case?

Why did the previous Elf King place the Elf Race's Holy Ring there?

Lin Yi shook his head in confusion:

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

Gamplov looked at Lin Yi and asked:

"What do you plan to fuse it with?"

Fusion?

Lin Yi thought that what the Great Elder meant was embedding.

At this moment, Lin Yi took off the Red Sky Divine Pearl from his body, shook it in front of Gamplov, and said:

"This."

Perhaps some would wonder why it's the Red Sky Divine Pearl and not the Dragon Scale Holy Sword?

Actually, the answer is already obvious.

With the divine tier of the Brilliant Gem, the Mythical Tier Dragon Scale Holy Sword is far inferior in level.

When better close combat weapons are found in the future, the Dragon Scale Holy Sword will be replaced.

But the Red Sky Divine Pearl is different.

Although it is currently at a demigod artifact tier, as long as the Divine King Essence Blood is found, it will continue to grow to divine artifact level.

Additionally, the special attributes of the Red Sky Divine Pearl give Lin Yi no reason to replace it.

Just as Lin Yi brought out the Red Sky Divine Pearl, Gamplov also nodded in agreement:

"This works."

Lin Yi didn't waste words and directly took the Red Sky Divine Pearl and the Brilliant Gem in his left and right hands, and suddenly a system interface popped up in front:

"Would you like to inlay the Brilliant Gem onto the weapon Red Sky Divine Pearl, please choose:"

[Confirm Inlay] [Cancel Inlay]

Lin Yi clicked to choose: [Confirm Inlay].

At the moment of choice, that magnificent gem levitated, slowly merging into the Red Sky Divine Pearl, without any other significant noise.

The inlaying process was very simple.

Once the Red Sky Divine Pearl was inlaid, Lin Yi looked at the weapon's attributes again:

...

...

In a dense forest, a three-person team cautiously advanced.

Among them, a girl dressed in a white robe and holding a delicate short staff looked timidly:

"This is the Demon Forest! Are you really planning to pass through here?"

A man in front of her, wearing a blue magic robe, faced the serene forest with determination:

"To reach the Imperial Capital in three days, crossing here is the only choice."

"But don't worry."

"This is just the outer area of the Demon Forest, no high-level demons will appear."

"With our strength, we can handle it."

Upon hearing this, the fear on the girl's face visibly lessened, and she then looked forward with anticipation:

"This is the first time the church publicly selects the Divine Son."

"Now, young talents from all major empires have already gathered."

"I hope we're on time to witness the historic moment of the Divine Son's birth."
