I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 189 - 171. Life Trace Path and 146 Life Points
"According to reliable sources, the man that the Eternal Day Goddess is looking for seems to be the Goddess’s brother, the man who is to become the future Eternal Day Saint Child!"
The chance to summon the Eternal Day Goddess is indeed precious, but compared to this opportunity, the credit for finding the Eternal Day Saint Child is obviously much more significant.
With this thought, he raised his hand, and both the Zhi Zi flowers and the Star Bone Glass box levitated from the ground, being collected into his bag.
Xia Feng waved away the dust, and seeing that the masked man had finally taken the two items, the anxiety in his heart finally settled. It had been incredibly tough, indeed, to ensure that the Archbishop successfully gained 100 Life Points was truly a labor of love.
After securing his items, Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in the distance,
According to the Eternal Day Goddess, it’s best not to reveal one’s intentions if one encounters the Saint Child, otherwise, the Saint Child might run away.
No sooner had Xia Feng let his guard down than he noticed that the Fifth Rank Spirit Master hadn’t left, but was still staring at him intensely. His expression changed, and he couldn’t help but recall the masked man’s peculiar remarks from earlier.
Damn, I need to get out of here fast! He had no intention of being approached by a creep with such aberrant inclinations.
"Indeed, a Fifth Rank Spirit Master! Well, forget it, let’s go!" Xia Feng fiercely dropped a line, and Cha Naixue, understanding his intention, changed her pupils into a spiral pattern and murmured softly, "Nai Luo Space!"
A purple vortex spiraled out from behind them, instantly engulfing the trio and leaving no trace behind.

"..." Jiang Li’s eyelids twitched slightly, wait, I haven’t even spoken yet, why has the Saint Child run away already...
This posed some difficulty.
He frowned as he looked around. That vortex seemed to be some kind of Space Ability, and it was of a high level, beyond even his ability to track.
But it didn’t matter too much, as long as the Saint Child was still in the Garden, the Eternal Day Goddess would be able to locate him upon her arrival.
Moreover, he now knew the identity of the Saint Child.
"Xia Feng, huh..." The masked man smiled slightly, his black-robed figure dissolving into fog, vanishing without a trace.

Nai Luo Space.
In this Different Space, the upper layer flowed with a bright white light that was not blinding, while the lower layer was pitch black, deep as ink. The middle layer swirled with countless tiny points of light, like a sea of stars adrift in the cosmos, with three shadows suspended in between.
The scenery from the Present Realm formed a virtual screen of light, hovering above the trio.

When Jiang Li returned to the castle, Archbishop Aus seemed surprised, "That was quick?"
"Tch~ Naturally, as I said, Your Excellency the Archbishop can be completely at ease when I am on the job." Jiang Li smiled lightly.
"Here, this is what you wanted." He tossed the Zhi Zi flower and the box onto the table.
The old man quickly picked up the box, and upon seeing the starry light emanating from the flower inside, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It really is Star Bone Glass!"
"However, those three did have some tricks up their sleeves, allowing them to escape." Jiang Li shook his head.
"It’s of no consequence, these are just trivial matters," Archbishop Aus wasn’t bothered, it was enough that he got his hands on the items; as for the Holy Daughter, there would be plenty of time to capture her later.
Suppressing his excitement, the old man picked up the Zhi Zi flower, puzzled, "This seems to be a Spiritual Artifact?"
After a careful sensing, his expression shifted subtly, "This..."
"What is it?" Jiang Li asked in confusion, "Could it be a fake?"
"No, it is genuine." The Archbishop’s murky eyes grew grave, "But these are not the three hundred Lost Persons that I cultivated, but rather the nobles who participated in the ceremony... Heh~ this is quite interesting."
Jiang Li was also stunned, how could this be? He knew how difficult it was to cultivate a Lost Person; each one had to be tormented for at least a month or two to start, and these nobles had achieved it so quickly?
Incredible.
But, this was no longer important. He was now full of energy, eager to work through the night if need be to help the Archbishop complete the ceremony to summon the Goddess!
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I don’t think we need to bother with these nobles anymore, since they’ve become Lost Persons, it’s their fate as decreed by the heavens." Jiang Li spoke earnestly, "They have indulged themselves in the Garden for so long, it’s time they made some contribution."
The old man glanced at the masked man and nodded with a faint smile, "You make a good point."
Without hesitation, the Archbishop pressed the ring on his thumb onto the gardenia, and suddenly, countless tiny pitch-black spiritual bodies burst out of the flower like wailing resentful souls.
Their shrieks lacked any hint of emotion, like homeless wandering spirits.
Once consumed by the ring, they fell into utter silence.
[Sacrifice ranking—
3: 9929 participants (target 9900)
34: 3999 participants (target 3300)
14: 1 participant
17: 0
...]
The sacrifice ranking was swiftly updated, and the Archbishop squinted at the ranks before him as new information continuously flooded into his mind.
[Current Life Points: 41]
[Respected Player No. 3, it has been detected that you have met the sacrifice standard of 9900. Would you like to complete this stage of the task?]
"Complete."
[Mission completed—100 Life Points awarded!]
[Current Life Points: 141]
[Extra reward triggered: First to accumulate 100 Life Points, awarded the ’Fastest Man’ achievement reward: 5 Life Points]
[Current Life Points: 146]
[Additional Information Displayed: The highest Life Points in the field!]
[Additional Information Displayed: First to meet the 9900 sacrifice standard out of 100 Life Roulette participants]
[Extra reward triggered: First to meet the 9900 standard, awarded the ’Life Believer’ achievement reward: Life Trace Path!]
As he looked at the series of reward messages, Archbishop Aus’s lips curled into a faint smile, and even his murky eyes brightened slightly.
"How is it?" Viper, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"Life Points 146, the highest in the field."
"I’m asking about the Life Trace Path," Viper said gravely.
"Of course," the Archbishop nodded slightly, shifting his gaze. "The information we received was indeed correct. The first to complete the ritual will get this Holy Dissolution Material."
"What I don’t understand is, why did the Life Roulette choose to hide this information?"
The Archbishop pondered deeply and spoke with confusion, "After all, if this information were disclosed to all participants, the number of sacrifices received by the Life Roulette could have significantly increased."
Viper’s gaze remained calm: "Your Excellency, this is not something for us to worry about."
"Indeed," the Archbishop’s murky eyes narrowed, "But I’m curious, your Spiritual Artifact surely can’t undergo Holy Release, so why do you need the Life Trace Path?"
According to the deal, he received Life Points while the Life Trace Path would belong entirely to Burning Heaven.
The Archbishop could be said to have suffered a slight loss in this trade, as the 146 Life Points, albeit substantial, were still incomparable to one of the three Holy Dissolution Material pieces, the Life Trace Path.
To know that in the outside world, each appearance of a Life Trace Path would provoke a whirlwind of carnage.
"The Life Trace Path is naturally not for me to use. But who it’s for is not a question Your Excellency should ask," said Viper in an indifferent voice.
"Enough, enough, can we stop the chit-chat?" Jiang Li slapped the table impatiently, speaking in a displeased and cold tone, "Archbishop, if you’re not ready to summon the Goddess, then I’ll be taking my leave."
"Come with me," the robed elder slowly rose, walking towards the nearing completion Array in the center of the hall.
The Eternal Day Goddess was vital to ensuring his safety from the Peach Organization until he could return to the Life Roulette Space, and naturally, she had to be summoned.
