The Gift of Fate, Once More!

The Gift of Fate, Once More!

Manipulating the Metal Lifeform to change direction, they flew toward a small border town in the Putuoluo Empire. The Walun Plane was not particularly large, and given Lincoln's strength, they arrived in no time.

Teluzake jumped off the Metal Lifeform, dug three holes under a crooked tree, and after digging three feet deep, finally found the interspatial ring. Lincoln and Aier watched from above the Metal Lifeform, peering through the transparent metal. "Hmm, that is truly a very simple way to hide something."

After rinsing the interspatial ring clean in a nearby river, Teluzake immediately returned to the Metal Lifeform. He bowed his head slightly, held his hands out flat, and offered the interspatial ring in his palms.

Aier took the interspatial ring first, but just as she was about to examine it, she found it was locked; her Divine Sense could not scan it.

"Teluzake, if you don't remove the blood-bond, how are we supposed to look at it?" Aier said with a light laugh.

Teluzake felt embarrassed and hurriedly canceled the blood-bond. Aier probed her Divine Sense into it again. Only a moment later, her expression suddenly turned serious. When she looked up, she seemed dazed. After a few breaths, she looked at Lincoln and subconsciously handed the interspatial ring over to him.

Seeing Aier's strange reaction, Lincoln laughed. "Why are you so surprised? What kind of treasure haven't you seen before? Don't tell me there's a Sovereign Spark inside?!" While joking, he took the interspatial ring and probed it with his Divine Sense.

The first things to come into view were piles upon piles of dark gray stones, stone bars, and stone slabs—Nether Stones. Although there were many, Lincoln didn't care about them in the slightest. Next, there were some High-God Artifacts: offensive ones, material defense ones, and even a Soul Defense Artifact. Following that were dozens of Divine Sparks of various colors, ranging from low to high level, along with some strange items, books, food, and...

A gray, translucent, glazed crystal, similar to a Divine Spark, appeared within Linley's Divine Sense. It radiated a green light and a terrifying power that made one's soul tremble...

There really was a Sovereign Spark!

Unsurprisingly, this Sovereign Spark was the one the Nether Fruit Tree would have refined in the future. Thinking about it carefully, if things had gone as expected, whether it was Teluzake or Aofen, once they obtained this interspatial ring, they would likely have headed to the Underworld, ultimately acting as a stepping stone for someone else and helping the Nether Sovereign achieve his goals.

If possible, he might be able to use this Life Divine Spark in the future to trade for that Thunder Element Sovereign Spark, which was also missing. As for the idea of "looking down on the wealth of Deity-level experts," at this moment, that was all complete nonsense!

Mebis's words—"Why was the direction wrong? I was clearly just one step away from the peak, but unfortunately, the direction was wrong"—clearly referred to the path of cultivation. He lacked the talent for the Rules of Life; otherwise, he too would have been a Sovereign!

"Teluzake, before Mebis passed away, did he emphasize anything to you repeatedly?" Lincoln suddenly asked.

Seeing this, Teluzake quickly replied, "Teluzake has only one wish: to become your disciple, my lord!"

Lincoln raised his head, his expression somewhat dazed.

Lincoln nodded again. This kid, like Mebis, was lucky enough to obtain a Sovereign Spark, but unfortunately, he couldn't become a Sovereign. He then looked at himself and Aier. In truth, they were the same—a misfortune amidst good fortune. Neither of them had the talent for the Rules of Life, so neither could use this Sovereign Spark.

Out of the only seventy-seven Sovereign Sparks in the universe, one had stumbled into his field of vision without any warning, lying quietly in this tiny Material Plane!

Lincoln closed his eyes to collect himself. What kind of incredible luck was this?! He hadn't encountered a Sovereign Spark in over ten million years! Even that Darkness Divine Spark had been obtained only after he had exhausted his efforts, lived in constant fear, and spent one hundred thousand years completing a Supreme God mission. If a Sovereign Spark had appeared before him so directly back then, he wouldn't have had to suffer so much!

After calming down a moment later, he exchanged a glance with Aier and nodded to confirm. Only then did he re-examine the Sovereign Spark. Based on its aura, it should be a Sovereign Spark of the Rules of Life. It was a pity that neither he nor Aier could use it. But a Sovereign Spark was still a Sovereign Spark; even if it couldn't be used, it was a vital strategic resource.

He held Aier's hand, offering her comfort with his eyes. Discovering that the Sovereign Spark couldn't be used was indeed a huge blow, especially since Aier had become a Deity within her own body and would never have the possibility of cultivating the Rules of Life.

"Teluzake, we have to admit that Mebis's wealth is indeed more than a Deity-level expert could enjoy in a lifetime. It should be said that it isn't just wealth; it is a treasure. I cannot refuse it. Whatever request you have, you may bring it up, and I will satisfy you!" Lincoln said slowly, his expression serious.

Lincoln fell silent, observing Teluzake while deep in thought. "Since you insist, I will agree. I will first nurture you to the Saint-level, and then you will come with me to the Chainis Plane to cultivate. Once you have achieved success in your cultivation, you will follow my envoy to the Divine Plane or the Supreme Plane to gain experience, and strive to become a true powerhouse as soon as possible."

Teluzake was stunned. He had actually been unsure if Mebis's wealth could move Lincoln and Aier, but the reactions of these two Deity-level experts from the Life Divine Realm after seeing the interspatial ring had surprised, delighted, and encouraged him. "He did say something. He repeatedly warned me that after I became a Saint-level, I must cultivate Life Magic and treat the cultivation of Life Magic as the most important thing. Furthermore, I must absolutely not refine a Divine Spark; I must become a Deity independently. When I asked why, Grandpa Mebis only told me to do as he said, adding that I would understand why once I became a High-God."

Binding an artifact or a Main God Artifact required no specific strength, but since he was cultivating in a mere Material Plane, with Lincoln's guidance and protection, Lincoln felt there was no need to use artifacts. Instead, letting Teluzake rely on the sharpness and durability of artifacts would only hinder his progress. As for a Main God Artifact, it could only be bestowed upon a Sovereign Envoy or a relative. Teluzake was a disciple, not a relative, so it could not be bestowed unless he was taken in as a Sovereign Envoy.

Teluzake was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to Lincoln. "Teluzake pays respects to his teacher!"

Watching Teluzake kneeling below him, Lincoln was thinking about expanding his circle of Sovereign acquaintances. Previously, he hadn't dared to hope for that ownerless Thunder Element Sovereign Spark, but now that he held this Life-type Sovereign Spark, he had the bargaining chip for negotiations. If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain. By taking the initiative to visit those Sovereigns he wasn't familiar with or hadn't interacted with, he might just find some clues about the Thunder Element Sovereign Spark. If, just like his Darkness Divine Spark had been kept by Augusta before, this Thunder Element Sovereign Spark happened to be in the hands of some Sovereign, and they had mutual needs, then they could each get what they wanted, and everyone would be happy.
