Do Gods Bleed? Sparkle: Good Morn-ing

At a thought from Xu Yuan, the reward information surfaced.

[Shattered Half Godhood Fragment]

[Type: Consumable (Second-Level God)]

[Effect: Can be refined to extract a Divine Seat Inheritance, comprehend the power of laws, and reconstruct Godhood (low chance)]

[Note: Tell me, do gods bleed?]

Staring at those three effects, Xu Yuan gave them some thought and felt that they were all pretty good.

The second effect allowed him to comprehend the power of laws, while the other two involved the Emotion Divine Seat Inheritance and Godhood.

He just did not know whether the [Amber Hammer] could extract the Divine Seat Inheritance.

Hopefully, one swing would not wipe everything out.

In Xu Yuan's view, the gods of the Douluo Continent had only one advantage: their lifespan.

As for strength? They probably could not even withstand one enhanced basic attack from Jingliu before ending up in pieces...

Their strength was better than nothing, but the power of laws and lifespan were much more appealing.

As Xu Yuan pondered this, Jingliu, the white-haired, red-eyed big sister beside him, flickered and rapidly approached him.

Then Jingliu grabbed Xu Yuan by the shoulder and carefully examined his condition.

"Little brother, are you all right?"

Jingliu's face was full of concern. Only after confirming that both Xu Yuan's soul and body were completely unharmed did she let out a long breath.

This big sister's protective nature was just the best.

"I'm fine. Thank you, big sister."

"Look at this. It's loot I just 'Trailblazed' after you killed that enemy."

Xu Yuan shook his head, claimed the reward, and spread open his palm to reveal an item resting quietly there.

It was a crystal-clear, seven-colored fragment.

It shimmered with a faint halo as divine power flowed through it. One glance was enough to show that it was extraordinary.

"This is... a crystallized fragment of some divine law?"

Jingliu was quite knowledgeable, and she quietly speculated.

Among the stars, certain faith-based indigenous species followed this kind of cultivation system, and their combat power was not weak either.

Of course.

It was completely incomparable to the Divine Body Amber that fell from the Amber Lord while forging the Subspace Crystal Wall.

"It is rather similar to the Celestial Ambrosia dropped by the Abominations of Abundance after death. Its life energy is very abundant."

"And it also contains some emotional law energy..."

Jingliu pinched the seven-colored fragment between her fingers, closed her eyes to sense it, and analyzed it.

"Big sister, this is a Divine Spark Fragment. It suits an ability I obtained before, [Clock Trick]."

"Because both are emotion-related abilities."

Xu Yuan quietly activated Clock Trick and manifested an Emotion Gear.

Jingliu silently stared at the Emotion Gear. The four emotional spectrums of joy, anger, sorrow, and fear flowed within it, profoundly mysterious.

After hearing Xu Yuan's explanation of the ability, Jingliu fell into thought. "It can help people with psychological treatment?"

At that moment, Sparkle and March 7th came running over from the other side of the guest rooms.

Sparkle skipped all the way over, holding her Mask of Elation as she looked around the room.

"Little Gray Hair, who attacked you? Tell Lady Sparkle, and Lady Sparkle will help you get even."

Sparkle held up the Mask of Elation, speaking with righteous fervor while half-hiding her face behind it.

March 7th could not keep up with Sparkle's wild train of thought. She rubbed her forehead, widened her pink eyes, and pointed her left hand at the moon.

"This lady sensed it. The enemy was in the sky."

"No need. Thanks, Sparkle, March. Big sister already killed the enemy who attacked me."

"Look, this is the loot I got."

Xu Yuan held up the seven-colored Divine Spark Fragment and smiled.

March 7th wore a blankly adorable expression and could not see the mystery of the Divine Spark Fragment, but Sparkle's eyes lit up.

Little Gray Hair had gotten stronger again.

Xu Yuan glanced at the night outside the window, then said to Jingliu, Sparkle, and March 7th before him,

"Big sister, Sparkle, March, it's getting late. Everyone should rest first."

Looking at the shattered wall between the two guest rooms, Xu Yuan shook his head. It had turned into one shared large room again...

Jingliu, Sparkle, and March 7th had no objections and returned to their room.

Xu Yuan opened the door and tossed the restaurant owner a small pouch of Gold Soul Coins. The man acted as though nothing had happened.

After that little interruption, Xu Yuan got down to business.

He raised the Amber Hammer and began studying the shattered Divine Spark Fragment.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, eight in the morning.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes from sleep. With one sweep of his gaze, the entire world seemed different in his eyes.

Everyone's emotions were incomparably clear. Not only could he absorb emotions, he could even convert them into divine power!!

[The Shattered Half Godhood Fragment has been refined.]

[Ability obtained 1: "Emotion Divine Core": Can absorb the emotions of intelligent life and convert them into divine power/laws.]

[Ability obtained 2: "Emotion Divine Seat Inheritance": Obtained an incomplete law ability of the Emotion God.

Joy, anger, sorrow, fear.]

Although his Soul Power had not improved at all...

Xu Yuan had obtained even more powerful divine power!!!

The Emotion Divine Core was the most essential ability. It could cultivate divine power from the smallest beginnings and allow him to comprehend laws.

At the same time, the Emotion Divine Core could repair the remaining three Godhood abilities in the Emotion Divine Seat Inheritance.

Love, hatred, desire.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and fear were certainly powerful, but love, hatred, and desire were even stronger.

Because unless one had transcended all emotion, any intelligent life would be influenced by these emotions.

The Sea of Spirit had already become a sea of seven colors.

Suspended silently above the very center of the Sea of Spirit was a point of light the size of a grain of rice.

That was the Emotion Divine Core!

Within the Sea of Spirit.

The four colors of red, orange, yellow, and green were extremely bright, while cyan, blue, and violet were much dimmer. They corresponded to the missing love, hatred, and desire.

But the Divine Seat Inheritance Xu Yuan had extracted with the Amber Hammer had one advantage.

The four divine laws of joy, anger, sorrow, and fear would automatically absorb the surrounding emotions, endlessly strengthening the Divine Core.

Even if Xu Yuan lay around doing nothing, he could slowly grow stronger.

And...

Emotion Divine Power could strengthen [Clock Trick].

Xu Yuan no longer needed an object of obsession to enter the mental space of any target.

Of course, having an object of obsession would make it easier.

He would find a test subject later and see just how much these two abilities of the same origin had strengthened each other.

Emotion Divine Power + Clock Trick was definitely greater than 2!

"Whew~"

At that thought, Xu Yuan let out a deep breath and exited his cultivation state.

The instant he opened his eyes, a flash of red entered his vision.

Sparkle leaned close with a pair of alluring pink eyes. Her delicate white hands formed a megaphone as she seductively cooed,

"Gooood morn-ing~"

"Little Gray Hair, make sure you have a happy day today too, okay?"

Well, this was Sparkle's signature good-morning greeting.

It was certainly refreshing.

Before the smile on Xu Yuan's face could bloom, he keenly sensed that something was wrong. Would a fun-seeker really be this kind?

The next second.

Xu Yuan sprang upright like a carp and reached out to grab a firework with a white fuse.

"Bang~!"

Before the firework could explode, scarlet Emotion Divine Power lit up in Xu Yuan's hand—the power of joy.

Who made an instant-exploding firework?

"Sparkle, you're finished!"

Xu Yuan instantly dealt with Sparkle's good-morning prank and began his counterattack.
