Logo was certain that his current body was not his original one, yet the fusion of his soul and flesh was incredibly harmonious. It seemed as if he had been replaced on an existential level, or perhaps it was a second transmigration?
Perhaps that's why Logo didn't feel any rejection in his body, and even inherited the original owner's memories completely.
After drinking a bowl of warm honey water, his stiff, cold body finally regained a bit of vitality. Logo quickly used his superb physical control skills to cheer himself up and slowly regulate his body from the smallest details.
While treating him, Logo shook his head inwardly, "Fortunately, the original owner was an Transcendent being who still retained some reserves. Otherwise, with his entire body, limbs, bones, and internal organs almost on the verge of collapse, even True God might not be able to save him..."
With his life hanging in the balance and critically injured, this was the beginning of Logo's predicament. It has to be said, this was quite unlucky.
The only difference between this body and a corpse is that Logo's soul resides within it.
However, since things had come to this point, lamenting was useless; all negative emotions would only worsen the situation. Logo calmly eliminated all distracting thoughts, letting the old servant Duolong attend to him, and slowly increased his control over his body.
Time passed, Nightfall fell.
Since the body now completely belonged to Logo, despite its broken state, Logo had essentially regained control and could barely roll over. Although he couldn't walk yet, his arms could move slightly.
Raising his hand, looking at his yellowed palm and wrinkled skin, Logo couldn't help but sigh softly. In his mind, information about the original owner of this body flowed back.
The original owner's name was Lude Shiva, a Level Two Fate Master. According to the Astral Realm's ranking system, he was roughly between the Tier Four and Tier Five. However, he was only at the Life rank, and in terms of combat power, he was far inferior to the Astral Realm's Transcendent beings. Moreover, in terms of lifespan, the difference was like heaven and earth.
However, this is not because the profession of Fate Master is inherently flawed, but rather because this old man is not skilled in combat; he is a research-oriented Fate Master.
However, it is true that the profession of Fate Master has its flaws, especially regarding lifespan.
According to Lude's memory, even if one achieved the eighth level of ' Saint ' and possessed strength comparable to or even surpassing that of Peak Demigod, one would still not live past a thousand years.
Unless... ascending to heaven!
Or perhaps only by achieving the ' Saint King ' level of Fate Master, a feat attained by only thirteen people throughout history, can one become a Legend immortal being.
Yes, this world called the Star God Realm is a place where ascension is possible!
At least in Lude's original memory, there were scattered examples recorded in some ancient books, as well as many corroborating evidence.
That being said, the reason why the original Lude looked like he was about to die when Logo descended was not because his time was up.
In fact, Lude was a "Fate Potion Master." Although his abilities were only so-so, he had quite a bit of experience in maintaining his health, otherwise he wouldn't have lived to be 101 years old.
After all, under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a level one to four Fate Master is only slightly longer than that of an ordinary person. Living to ninety is considered a long life, let alone 101 years old.
Lude suffered this fate because he was poisoned by another Fate Master.
That Fate Master possessed abilities similar to the Gustavo Devourer, sweeping away all the magical power that Lude had painstakingly accumulated within his body.
The profession of Fate Master is very similar to that of ordinary spellcasters. Under normal circumstances, their physical strength is not high. After losing their magic power, Lude, who was already old, was greatly weakened and would have died without a doubt!
In other words, the murderer's goal was to seize Lude's magical power and kill him!
Who could it be?
Logo lowered his eyes in thought. Lude was a kind old man, not interested in women or money. He was just a simple old man who spent his days tending to flowers and plants and researching medicine. He didn't have many friends, and he certainly didn't have any enemies.
He was almost killed for no reason—no, he was already killed, since Logo's will now occupies Lude's body.
If the killer wasn't an enemy, then their motive is clear: they were most likely after Lude's magical power.
It's important to understand that although Lude was only a Level Two Fate Master with average combat strength, he had been cultivating since he was around twenty years old, and after eighty-one years, the magical power he had accumulated was quite profound and exceptionally pure. If the murderer truly intended to devour the magical power of other Fate Master, then choosing Lude would be quite reasonable.
An old man, a dying man, with only his old servant Duolong and a dog by his side. No one will avenge him, and his death won't cause much of a commotion. There's no better target than him!
Thinking of this, even Logo's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain. He knew that things hadn't been peaceful these past few years, and that the original Lude, didn't even know he lived in the city. At least there were "Star Soldier" stationed there, and neither the Aberrant Demon nor the evil Fate Master dared to act recklessly.
If you insist on living alone outside, who else will bad guys kill if not you?
"Sigh, blame yourself for being careless. But now that I've taken over your body, I'll avenge you. Don't worry!" Logo muttered to himself.
His words were not only due to his genuine belief in the idea, but also to the factor of a "Fate Battle Mission."
As my gaze shifted, a beam of information shot into my mind from the Eye of Fate.
[Trigger Quest]
[Karmic Inheritance]
[Fulfill the original owner's wishes as much as possible and act in accordance with the original owner's personality, thereby integrating more deeply into this world. The deeper the integration with the Star God Realm, the easier it is to absorb the world's essence, improve strength, trigger new Fate Mission, and avoid being rejected or hated by the World Will.]
[Integration Progress: 25%]
Just now, when Logo uttered the words of revenge for the original owner Lude, the fusion progress was only at the basic 10%, but now it has suddenly increased by 25%, which shows that revenge was indeed the original owner's wish.
It makes sense. An old man who never bothered anyone, just tending to his flowers and plants, and yet someone broke into his home, devoured all his magical power, and died. It would be strange if he didn't feel resentment.
The half-face that Lude saw before he died was etched into his memory.
He memorized half of the original owner's face from her last memories, while other information flowed through Logo's mind.
This world is called the Star God Realm.
Its dimensional structure is quite peculiar, falling somewhere between Starry Sky universe and a continent.
At the very center of the Star God Realm lies an exceptionally vast continent called the Continent of Stars, which is where Logo is currently located.
Beyond the Continent of Stars lie 3,300 inhabited planets, all of which are magical planets, with even the lowest elemental concentrations at the level of mid-magic planets.
The distances between the different planets are not as vast as in the Elven Plane; on the contrary, they are quite close, like more than three thousand satellites orbiting the Continent of Stars.
Beyond the 3,300 life-bearing stars, there is a super celestial body, the only sun in the Star God Realm.
In simple terms, the celestial structure of the Star God Realm, from the inside out, consists of the Continent of Stars, the life-bearing planets, and the outermost sun.
The sun revolves around the Continent of Stars and 3,300 inhabited planets, so strictly speaking, the sun in the Star God Realm is not a fixed star.
This type of celestial structure is generally found in the dark Void of the Astral Realm, and similar scenes are rarely seen in the Starry Sky.
Logo was only slightly surprised before accepting the fact. He has always been very adaptable and receptive, and even wanted to study this rare celestial structure.
Unlike the chaotic situation of multiple powers vying for supremacy in the Elven Plane, the Star God Realm has a unified force— the Dynasty of Stars —and an undisputed dominant race—the human race.
The Dynasty of Stars was established in the first year of the Eighth Era, and 3421 years have passed since then.
As for the human race that dominates the Dynasty of Stars, that's quite interesting.
According to Lude's memories, the term "human race" in the Star God Realm has a very broad meaning. As long as a race is humanoid and belongs to the category of intelligent beings, it can be included in this category.
In Lude's memory alone, Logo saw a variety of 'human races', including the Long-Eared Race, the Wood Tung Race (Elf Race Dwarves), and the Giant Race.
It's important to understand that even within the Astral Realm, while these races are classified as humanoid, they themselves do not acknowledge themselves as human.
However, in the Star God Realm's Dynasty of Stars, these races share a unified name—the Human Race.
The person who accomplished this feat was none other than the founder of the Dynasty of Stars, ' World King '.
In the original Lude's memories, Logo could sense the old man's fanatical worship of the World King. Even after thousands of years, he still possessed such powerful personal charisma, which showed the World King's status in the Star God Realm.
"It's a pity that such a person is already dead, otherwise I could have found a way to meet him..." Logo's eyes flickered; he was very interested in this Legendary World King.
Because no matter how you look at it, this World King ' path to rise is very similar to a certain type of person that Logo knows.
Because the Star God Realm had a unified and powerful force Dynasty of Stars, the situation remained basically stable for a considerable period of time.
However, this stable situation has been repeatedly disrupted in recent centuries, sometimes by Aberrant Demon, sometimes by Ancient Beast Race or Dark Demon Race, and sometimes by human Fate Master.
In fact, the latter number exceeds the former two.
More than two thousand years ago, World King and his eleven followers suddenly perished, shattering the once-powerful Dynasty of Stars and leaving it without its most powerful protective shield.
The Fate Master, who were once suppressed by the World King and the Star God System, began to stir and gradually eroded the vitality of the Dynasty of Stars, preparing to push the Star God Realm back to the turbulent years before the Seventh Era, a time of warring states and widespread suffering, a time when Fate Master were high above and ruled everything.
The following information was pieced together and deduced by Logo based on fragments of memory in Lude's mind, but he felt it was correct.
Although Lude was not very knowledgeable and had never even left Maple Leaf Province in his entire life, he was still a Level Two Fate Master, a member of the ruling class, with a relatively high social status and considerable knowledge.
The conflicts within the Star God Realm are quite acute, making it easy to predict future trends. In this regard, Logo considers himself to have some expertise.
Creak~
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and unusually bright starlight shone in. The old servant, Duolong, walked in carrying a bowl of medicine soup. The dog lying on the ground looked up at it, then climbed back down, its tail sweeping the floor like a broom.
"Master, why are you sitting up? Quickly lie down." The old servant, Duolong, was alarmed when he saw Logo sitting by the bed. He quickly went over, put down the medicine, and was about to help Logo lie down.
Logo waved his hand weakly Earth Dao, "I'm fine now, give me the medicine first."
The medicine that Duolong brought was a completely new formula created by Logo based on the types of medicinal herbs that Lude remembered from the manor's usual stock. It was made using his own pharmacological skills and its healing effect was definitely much better than the medicines that Lude had concocted himself.
At this moment, although Logo has temporarily escaped the shadow of death, his body is still very weak. In addition, he doesn't know if the guy who stole Lude's eighty-one years of magic power might come back to kill him. He must recover some strength as soon as possible.
You can't use your cultivation level for now. According to the "Fate Battle Rules," you need to use "Fate Gold Coin" to buy "Revival Badge" to restore your strength.
The problem is that Logo will have a hard time getting the Fate Gold Coin in a short time. So there is only one way to go: follow Lude's old path, temporarily practice the Fate Master System, and get back the lost magic power first. At least then he will have the ability to resist.
With Logo's combat skills, the same amount of magic in his hands would be at least ten times stronger than when it was in Lude's hands.
Faced with Logo's order, the old servant Duolong habitually chose to obey, quickly bringing over the medicine and helping Logo take it.
After taking the medicine, Logo lay down again, controlled his body, and entered a deep sleep to absorb the effects of the medicine.
When Logo became a centenarian, Lancelot and Gustavo's luck wasn't so good either.
The Blazing Soul Star System.
Light Arrow Star.
The Medici Family.
"The Spring of Life..."
As a deep chant was uttered, a soft green light flew from the Fate Master's hand and landed precisely on a handsome boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old lying on the sickbed.
The green light exuded a feeling akin to early spring, brimming with vitality, as if to guide the young man into the sea of life.
"Aquire, how's Luoni? Is he alright? Tell me, he'll definitely be alright!"
A beautiful young woman, dressed in a black floor-length gown, with stunning looks and a noble air, but a haggard expression, looked nervously at the middle-aged Fate Master before her.
The lady was surrounded by a large group of people, all of whom were high-ranking officials and nobles, judging from their attire. Even the servants serving inside and outside the room were shrewd, capable, and had an elegant demeanor, demonstrating that this family's wealth and status were far beyond what an ordinary family could possess.
"Please rest assured, Madam and Lord Star Lord, the backlash from the Ether Power has been suppressed, and the physical wounds Rapid Healing under the influence of the Spring of Life... Young Master Luoni will be alright." The Fate Master named Aquire comforted him wearily, though he himself was not entirely sure, but he couldn't say so openly because of the identity of the person in front of him.
"Really? Aquire, Mr. Aguirre. If my son does wake up, I will certainly present him with a generous gift," the man standing next to the lady said sincerely.
After the couple saw the Fate Master off, before Aide Medici could say anything, the previously anxious noblewoman Medusa Caroline suddenly turned around, her eyes fixed on her husband like an enraged tigress, and said, word by word, "Aide, I swear, if anything happens to Luoni, not only that bastard son, but your Medici Family will not be spared!"
Upon hearing this, Aide Medici, who had just been calm, instantly turned grim, his face clouded with anger. After a two-second silence, he assured him, "Don't worry, if Luoni really gets into trouble, I'll personally hand that idiot Saerfu over to you to get revenge."
"Hope..."
As soon as the noblewoman Medusa began to speak, a soft moan came from the sickbed. Although the sound was not loud, it immediately attracted Medusa's full attention. She rushed over and sat on the edge of the bed, nervously watching the boy's trembling eyelids. When she saw those eyes, which had been closed for a long time, gradually open, Medusa finally burst into tears of joy.
Lancelot opened his eyes, first glancing at the extremely excited noblewoman beside him, then quickly scanning the information in his mind.
"Luoni Medici? The offspring of a marriage between two great families, unfortunately born mentally challenged, but... here I come!"
