Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 364 - 361: I Don’t Want to Be a Preparatory Voter
Just now at the Cloud Palace Border Area, there were no Voters or Preparatory Voters of the Lord of Death in sight, and now the Divine Envoy of the Lord of Death has appeared, suggesting that He has been watching this auction all along, seizing the moment when Bai Pu and his group stepped into the spatial passage from the Boundary Land to reality to reveal Himself.
The Blood Spider caught the attention of many Divine Envoys.
Metarica also received an olive branch from a Divine Envoy.
Both could be seen as working on loan, as the Divine Envoys don’t have to put in extra Divine Power to coalesce a Seed of Blessing.
Moreover, the Divine Envoys present are all highly intelligent beings, realizing that the relationship between the Blood Spider, Metarica, and Bai Pu is quite good.
They very much wanted to develop Bai Pu into a Preparatory Voter, but regardless of which Divine Envoy’s probing, Bai Pu always politely declined.
Thus, they settled for second best, developing Bai Pu’s friends into Preparatory Voters, bringing them under their command!
This is considered a strategic move, not knowing when it might come in handy.
The best part is that this move does not require them to pay any Divine Power as a cost.
Of course, the talents of Blood Spider and Metarica are also quite impressive, comprehending Mystical Arts at the Mid-level Awakened stage without guidance from any Divine Envoy.
Metarica ultimately chose the "Master of Primordial Magnetism," obtaining the "Seed of Magnetic Blessing."
After becoming a Preparatory Voter, he felt greatly relieved and thanked Bai Pu continuously.
It appears he paid 30% of the proceeds to Bai Pu, but in fact, he made a huge profit.
Without Bai Pu, he would have had to directly offer his Holy Artifact in exchange for a Preparatory Voter qualification—a Preparatory Voter of the Master of Light, which was not the most suitable for him.
With Bai Pu, he obtained the most ideal Preparatory Voter qualification for the "Master of Primordial Magnetism" and still has 18 Coulomb Divine Power left!
This 18 Coulomb Divine Power is a resource that even Divine Envoys value highly.
Although he will eventually have to offer it to please a Divine Envoy, he will definitely get many benefits in return.
As for why Metarica didn’t host his own Holy Artifact auction...
The reason is simple, he did not dare to.
On one hand, he lacked the courage for a fair face-to-face transaction with Divine Envoys, and on the other hand, he wanted to become a Voter, not wanting to leave a bad impression on the Divine Envoys.
Now to the Blood Spider.
Faced with the favor of various Divine Envoys, she was always hesitant, often glancing at her aunt, the Wushan Divine Lady, and sneaking a peek at Bai Pu.
The Wushan Divine Lady quietly suggested to her: "Why not choose the Master of Dreams, they say you can enter the Dream Forest to cultivate while dreaming, and it provides inclusive bonuses to various Mystical Arts..."
The Wushan Divine Lady thought this was akin to a pie falling from the sky.
Even a genius Awakened would find it impossible to receive the favor of a Divine Envoy, let alone be recruited by multiple Divine Envoys with the freedom to choose based on their Mystical Arts.
"I don’t want to be a Preparatory Voter," said the Blood Spider.
Wushan Divine Lady: "???"
Not only the Wushan Divine Lady, but the other Preparatory Voters also wore astonished expressions.
With such a great opportunity in front of you, are you serious?
"Qingyun, what are you thinking? Opportunities like this are extremely rare!" said the Wushan Divine Lady.
"Aunt, I’ve thought about it for a long time and have finally understood. I’m not suitable to be a Preparatory Voter," the Blood Spider said, sneaking a glance at Bai Pu.
The Wushan Divine Lady, following the Blood Spider’s gaze, could somewhat guess what she was thinking.
She sighed and said, "Don’t look at Gangxin, he’s different from you... or rather, he’s different from most genius Awakened!"
The Wushan Divine Lady had difficulty describing Bai Pu, and in her view, Bai Pu’s decision not to choose any Deity or become a Voter was unwise.
Yet Bai Pu’s potential was undeniable.
If anyone could navigate a new path without guidance, it would definitely be Bai Pu.
As for her foolish niece, she couldn’t believe she could forge a new path.
"Aunt, you said you would respect my choices," the Blood Spider insisted.
"...What I meant was, I would respect your choice of which Divine Camp to join... but given the context at the time, I didn’t find it necessary to say the full statement!"
The Wushan Divine Lady sighed in exasperation, "Alright then, if you won’t be a Voter, what would you choose?"
The Blood Spider smiled warmly: "I want to exchange for an Immortal King set component."
The Wushan Divine Lady: "..."
She finally understood.
The Blood Spider intended to give Bai Pu a grand gift.
Yet the Wushan Divine Lady dared not blame Bai Pu.
After all, the 12 Coulombs of Divine Power were also fought for by Bai Pu for the Blood Spider. Regardless of it being the Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberrant World or the Original Sin World, Bai Pu had helped the Blood Spider grow significantly.
No matter what, the Wushan Divine Lady couldn’t bring herself to voice any blame, she merely cast an exasperated glance at Bai Pu.
Meanwhile, her heart felt a bit clogged; her foolish girl had tethered herself to Gangxin.
Bai Pu couldn’t sit still and told the Blood Spider, "You don’t need to exchange a set component for me... even if you don’t want the Preparatory Voter qualification, at least exchange something beneficial for yourself."
The Blood Spider remained firm in her decision.
Though the various Divine Envoys regretted not being able to recruit the Blood Spider, a promising Preparatory Voter, they believed that exchanging actual items for Divine Power was a transaction worth making.
"Xilou, come out now."
Engulfed in a haze of bloody mist, the Divine Envoy of the Lord of Death spoke.
He dissolved the barrier of bloody mist, revealing a tall, thin silhouette.
It was the Advanced Awakened, a member of the Superstar Alliance’s Star-Picking Tower, Xilou, whom Bai Pu had met once and exchanged harsh words with.
Bai Pu was slightly surprised, not expecting that Xilou had been present all along.
But seeing the reaction of the other Divine Envoys who seemed calm, as if they had predicted it all along, he realized this was known to them, only they had chosen to ignore Xilou without exposing him.
"Lord Divine Envoy of Seven Kills."
Xilou greeted respectfully.
"Bring out the Immortal King set components you have," the Lord Divine Envoy of Seven Kills said flatly.
Xilou didn’t utter a single word of retort, nor did he dare push back, taking out two shining green Immortal King set components.
One was a helmet, the other a chest armor.
These two Immortal King set components were part of the expansive organization of the Superstar Alliance’s assets and should not have been privately carried by Xilou.
However, the Superstar Alliance had previously sent Xilou to recruit Bai Pu into the Star-Picking Tower, naturally bringing these two Immortal King set components as a show of sincerity.
But Bai Pu immediately refused, and Xilou left abruptly, without even a chance to present the set’s tempting appeal.
Thus, the set components remained in Xilou’s Storage Space.
"A piece from the Green Armor Set carries a normal transaction value of about 5 Coulombs of Divine Power."
"However, for collectors of the set, paying a double premium is quite typical. So, one piece, 10 Coulombs."
"Gangxin, which one would you choose?" The Blood Spider looked at Bai Pu with bright eyes, her heart filled with excitement.
Before Bai Pu could respond, the Divine Envoy of Seven Kills continued, "With the condition of choosing one piece at your discretion... it wouldn’t just cost 10 Coulombs of Divine Power then."
