God of Pets-Chapter 519: Savior
Chen Guan’s primordial energy was abundant, and he had previously grasped killing intent. During this period, he had already mastered the killing intent thoroughly, so seeking enlightenment wasn’t a difficult matter.
Chen Guan chose the time of noon, at the height of summer when the sunlight was most intense.
Ordinary people wouldn’t choose this time for the fourth awakening, because the connection between the Lifebound Star and a person is weakest during this period, making it much easier at night.
Chen Guan was worried that the resonance between him and his Lifebound Star would be too strong. If it triggered the Lifebound Star to flicker during the day, it would generally be difficult to notice even if the star did flicker.
Chen Guan sat on his bed, operating the Secret Technique of One, simultaneously inducing the killing intent.
...
Ji Mansion.
The old man was sitting in the stone pavilion sipping tea, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
Beside the brilliantly shining sun, at some unknown moment, a bright star appeared. Even with the sun high in the sky now, the star’s glow couldn’t be concealed and was growing brighter.
As the star’s glow became brighter, it gradually overshadowed the sun’s light.
Such a bright sun, under the star’s glow, seemed to gradually disappear from sight and became hard to see.
The star’s brilliance at this moment made it look larger than the sun, its dazzling white glow illuminating everything like a bright sun, light never before seen in the Divine Land.
Strangely, within that dazzling star, there was a mass of black continuously moving, causing the dazzling white star glow to flicker, appearing like a gigantic eye scanning across the void.
White eye and black pupil, watching over the Divine Land.
"The Celestial Demon Star... has truly manifested..." The old man’s eyes flashed with a peculiar color; emotions appeared on his face that were hard to describe.
At this time, the top echelons of each family were watching this bizarre celestial phenomenon.
That star seemed like a devil’s eye, overlooking the entire world.
"The appearance of the Celestial Demon Star... The prophecy of the Ghost Daoist from years ago... could it really be coming true...?" Some ancient beings, gazing at the devil’s eye-like Lifebound Star in the sky, showed expressions of extreme complexity.
Such sentiments were expressed by people all across the Divine Land.
Back then, the Ghost Daoist had prophesied: Blood of Kings stains the heavens, Demon Child descends to the human world. All ten families will be utterly extinguished, leaving one person alone as an immortal.
Someone had asked him then when the Demon Child will descend into the world, and the Ghost Daoist calculated only to say that when the Celestial Demon Star appears, it is the time of the Demon Child’s arrival.
However, when others asked the Ghost Daoist how to distinguish the Celestial Demon Star, he only said that looking with the eyes is sufficient to see the Celestial Demon Star.
At the time, many people were puzzled about how mere sight identified the Celestial Demon Star, but now it is understood: it wasn’t about them using their eyes to look, but rather that the Celestial Demon Star looks like an eye gazing back at them and overlooking all.
The appearance of the Celestial Demon Star caused a tremendous uproar in the Divine Land, and the Ten Great Families were secretly investigating to determine who had triggered its manifestation.
Despite ongoing investigations, there were no definitive results. There are so many people in the Divine Land, finding a newly ascending fourth awakening cultivator is truly a daunting task.
"What is meant to come, has come." In the Jiang Family’s Celestial King’s Mansion, the temporarily returned King of Jiang from the Great Cave Heaven watched the eerie Celestial Demon Star and sighed lightly.
There was no fear in his eyes, nor was there worry or apprehension. Instead, there was an indescribable feeling, with a hint of anticipation.
Seeing such emotions might cause others to find it quite bizarre.
According to the Ghost Daoist’s prophecy, after the Demon Child arrives, the Ten Celestial Kings might perish, and even the ten families might face extermination. Why would he anticipate such events?
The Celestial Demon Star phenomenon slowly faded into the void as night fell but still felt like a bizarre eye in the void watching the earth, an unsettling sensation lingering for a long time.
At this moment, Chen Guan’s face bore a mask.
The mask was pitch black in texture, neither jade nor gold, not transparent, with a dense matte finish and did not reflect light, as if absorbing all light that reached it.
The mask’s contours were sharply defined, with all facial features, resembling a divine face sculpted from some deity’s image as a model.
The eye slots had swirling black energy, plunging like an endless abyss, intimidating to behold.
Chen Guan, upon donning the mask, had the mask emit fine black particles that enveloped him like a black mist, enveloping his entire being.
Quickly, it transformed into a pitch-black armor, encasing him entirely, making him appear like a statue of a ghostly deity armed in armor.
"Finally completed the fourth awakening." Chen Guan felt delighted, moving his body to sense the unusual energy within, examining his Lifebound Star information.
Lifebound Star: Savior.
Primordial Base: 1.
Celestial Duty: Savior.
Chen Guan looked at his Lifebound Star’s attributes, feeling slightly numb.
"What’s going on? A Primordial Base of just 1 point, this is the most ordinary Lifebound Star!" Chen Guan couldn’t believe his Lifebound Star had a Primordial Base of only 1.
It is said that the highest Primordial Base for a Lifebound Star is 3 points: 1 point being the lowest, and 3 points being the highest.
Chen Guan suspected that 3 points might not be the highest since the Primordial Base of a Lifebound Star seemingly corresponds to the Primordial Base of a Secret God.
People generally believe 3 points is the maximum, but Chen Guan has seen Secret Gods with a Primordial Base of 4 points, like the paperman.
So, the maximum Primordial Base for a Lifebound Star might be 4, not 3.
With the strength of the Secret Technique of One and his own cultivation, how could he only trigger a 1-point Primordial Base resonance?
Even if not 4, having 2 or 3 points wouldn’t be unreasonable; yet, it came to be the lowest level of 1.
Don’t underestimate this one or two points; if the Lifebound Star’s Primordial Base were 4 points, combined with Chen Guan’s 1 point, he would have 5 points of Primordial Base after using the Lifebound Star Mask.
With 5 points of Primordial Base, surely all subsequent attributes would undergo respective changes, with all growth recalculated based on five as the base.
Level one would be 5 points, level two would be 10 points, level three would be 20 points, and the amount of primordial energy would explode.
Now it’s just 1 point of Primordial Base, including his own 1-point base, calculated starting from 2 points of Primordial Base, he only gained one additional tier.
Level one is 2 points, level two is 4 points, level three is 8 points, equivalent to just one tier added.
Now at level 31, he has 1,073,741,824 points of primordial energy in the ten-billion level, and after using the Lifebound Star Mask, he can reach the twenty-billion level.
Even though the primordial energy now seems inexhaustible, whether it’s 1 or 4 points, it doesn’t have much impact on Chen Guan, but it still leaves him speechless.
Then, understanding the abilities of the Savior’s duty made Chen Guan’s expression change even more.
Savior Celestial Duty: Possesses the power to save, able to receive varying degrees of augmentation during attempts to save.
The general idea is that this Celestial Duty is only effective when going to save others.
Chen Guan was speechless, as he wasn’t a saint, so what use was this Celestial Duty? He couldn’t just go around saving people for fun, could he?
However, upon reconsideration, Chen Guan suddenly thought that perhaps this ability wasn’t entirely useless.
Saving someone doesn’t necessarily mean saving humans; if a Secret Spirit wants to kill a human, then rescuing that human by killing the Secret Spirit shouldn’t be overdoing it, right? In such a case, the Savior’s Celestial Duty should grant augmentation, right?
With this thought, it seemed like his horizons broadened.
