Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 632: The Weight of Acknowledgment

For the Origin Spirits, acknowledging someone as a Master means they are putting not only their lives but also all the lives of the entire tribe associated with them on the line.

It was true that the Eagle Spirit was grateful to Ethan for helping it with its full awakening, but it was not enough to pledge its life.

Thus, the Eagle Spirit said that it won’t acknowledge him.

"Instead of acknowledging you as my master, I can bestow my complete blessing, Human."

Seeing Ethan frown, the Eagle Spirit quickly added.

Bestowing a partial blessing means the Origin Spirit uses its Origin Energy to help someone awaken skills, bloodline, and even talents.

However, when it comes to a complete blessing, the grade of the skills, bloodlines, and talents will be very high.

According to the information that Ethan got from his Origin Spirits, there were even chances of awakening Heavenly Talents.

Of course, such powerful blessings will come at a cost, and the Origin Spirits need a very long time—supposedly hundreds or even thousands of years—to recover from it.

During the recovery period, the Origin Spirit could barely bestow partial blessings to others.

It was because of that that Ethan didn’t bother to ask his previous Origin Spirits to bestow him with the full awakening, because he hoped that the Origin Spirits would speed up the growth of their associated tribes.

’The Eagle Spirit is willing to bestow a Complete Blessing rather than acknowledge me as its master. I think I know the reason.’

Ethan’s gaze remained calm, but his thoughts moved quickly.

After thinking for a moment, realisation dawned on him.

The Eagle Spirit wasn’t trying to be ungrateful.

On the contrary, it was trying its best not to be ungrateful.

Bestowing a Complete Blessing was not something an Origin Spirit did lightly. It was something reserved for desperate situations... or final farewells.

’It must be worried about my intentions toward the Skyclaw Eagle Tribe.’

Ethan understood immediately.

By acknowledging him as its master, the Eagle Spirit wouldn’t just be placing its own fate in his hands—it would be handing over the fate of the entire Skyclaw Eagle Tribe.

Even if the tribe members were not loyal to the master, the master could force them to do something they didn’t want to do.

If Ethan had malicious intentions and if he forced the tribe into dangerous wars or suicidal missions... There would be nothing the Origin Spirit could do to stop him.

So instead of gambling everything on a stranger, the Eagle Spirit chose to repay Ethan’s favour in the safest way possible, which was a Complete Blessing, and then part ways with him.

A clean transaction.

’From the looks of it, my mission related to the Origin Spirit was much easier than I thought.’

Suddenly, Ethan realised that the two Origin Spirits had easily acknowledged him as their master.

’It’s cautious... but also responsible.’

"Sigh..."

Ethan let out a soft sigh.

Despite understanding the Eagle Spirit’s intentions, he had no plan to give up.

"If this was before, I would have accepted it gladly," Ethan said calmly.

"But now, I really need you to acknowledge me as your master."

The Eagle Spirit looked at him silently.

"To protect the Feral Mountain Realm."

Ethan’s voice carried no aggression, only certainty.

One of the main reasons he wanted to explore the Void Secret Realms was to obtain either acknowledgements or Complete Blessings from Origin Spirits.

Ten of either are needed for the Mystic Soil Domain to evolve into a Divine Secret Realm.

If that was all, Ethan would have happily taken the Complete Blessing and left.

But things were different now.

"There is an incoming Void Feral Demon General’s invasion," Ethan continued. "And the only way to stop it is for a ruler to appear in the Void Secret Realm."

"The moment a ruler is established, Void Protection will descend, protecting this realm for one thousand years. By then, the Feral Mountain Realm would have enough Soul Transformation Realm beings to protect it."

"Demon General’s... invasion?"

The Eagle Spirit’s eyes widened slightly, but it instinctively shook its head.

"That’s impossible," it said. "This realm isn’t valuable enough to draw the attention of such an existence. There are no supreme resources here."

Even Ethan agreed with the Eagle Spirit’s words, because there were really not many resources in the Feral Mountain Realm.

In fact, there were basically no resources in the realm, and the existing tribes were barely able to get some resources by risking their lives to kill the Void Feral Demons.

But Ethan knew that the system was not wrong, and since it issued a mission, the invasion was really happening.

If it were not stopped, then the Feral Mountain Realm would be destroyed.

"You really are a good Origin Spirit."

Ethan looked at it quietly.

Even after hearing about a Demon General, it was still thinking about the realm’s value rather than its own survival and making a decision based on that.

Unfortunately, seeing that the Eagle Spirit still refused to acknowledge him as its master, Ethan’s gaze slowly turned cold.

"You are leaving me with no choice."

The instant those words fell, he activated the Godly Demon Prison in his hand.

’Release.’

’Swiish—!’ 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Space tore open violently as five Rank 2 Elite Void Feral Demons were released at once.

’Rawrrr—!’

’Raaaaargh—!’

The five monstrous demons emerged, their bodies towering and grotesque.

Their flesh was wrapped in black void patterns, jagged horns protruding from their skulls, and countless crimson eyes opened and closed across their bodies.

Yet the moment they appeared, they instinctively halted.

All five Elite Void Feral Demons turned their gazes toward Ethan and immediately lowered their heads.

They didn’t dare attack him because they instinctively felt they would be imprisoned again.

Instead, under Ethan’s will, they turned as one and charged toward the protective barrier around Eagle Mountain.

BOOOOM—!

Void energy slammed into the barrier again and again, shaking the mountain violently.

The Eagle Spirit’s pupils constricted, but only for a moment.

Then, in the same calm tone Ethan had used earlier, it spoke.

"You are truly a good human," the Eagle Spirit said.

"But I cannot entrust my tribe’s fate to a stranger who threatens us."

’Screeeeech—!’

A powerful, piercing cry erupted from its throat, echoing through the skies.

’Screee—!’

’Screee—!’

’Screee—!’

Three more answering cries followed.

The clouds above Eagle Mountain parted violently as three massive figures descended from the heavens.

They were Skyclaw Eagles—but far larger than ordinary ones.

Each had a wingspan of over a hundred meters. Their feathers shimmered like forged steel, etched with natural wind runes.

Their talons were thick and serrated, capable of crushing mountains, and their eyes burned with savage intelligence.

Unlike the Eagle Spirit, these were physical existences—the protectors of the Skyclaw Eagle Tribe.

Their wings beat once, and the air exploded.

[Bestial Skill: Bestial Blast]

Three terrifying shockwaves of compressed wind and beastly aura erupted forward, colliding violently with the Void Feral Demons.

BOOOOOOM—!!!

Upon collision, there was a huge explosion that pushed the five Elite Void Feral Demons away from the protective barrier.

’T-this... they are able to push five Elite Void Feral Demons away just like that?’

Looking at the scene, Ethan was shocked as he heard the Eagle Spirit’s words,

"I know I might sound ungrateful, but even without the human’s help, my children were able to clear the Void Feral Demons in less than a decade."

"Supreme God, those three Skyclaw Eagles, they have the cultivation of the Quasi-Soul Transformation Realm."

"What?"

Following the Eagle Spirit’s words, Ethan heard Diamond Horn’s words and was shocked for a moment before realising something,

’So, that’s the reason.’
