[Congratulations on completing the mission "Escape"]
[Your reward has been doubled because you exceeded the task requirements]
You have obtained 2 Fate Gold Coin, which can be exchanged for corresponding items in the Fate Shop.
[Your total number of Fate Gold Coin is: 3]
[If you die at the hands of another participant, your two existing Fate Gold Coin, plus the Fate Gold Coin you represent, will belong to the other participant.]
[You have entered the top 100 of the Fate War Rankings, keep up the good work!]
Leaning on Victor's shoulder, Gustavo flipped through a series of clues from the Eye of Fate.
These notifications had been popping up one after another ever since he killed Anim, the patriarch of the Shadow Serpent Clan, and he only had time to look at them now that he had some free time.
Gustavo doesn't care about rankings or anything like that.
According to the rules set by the Goddess of Fate, the Fate Supremacy War will last for three years. It has only just begun, and there is still a long way to go. Rankings are secondary; the key is to recover strength as soon as possible.
To regain their strength, they must either cultivate the Fate Master System or purchase Revival Badge.
The latter requires Fate Gold Coin.
There are only two ways to obtain Fate Gold Coin: killing other participants and completing Fate Battle Mission. Therefore, Gustavo is most concerned about missions.
Looking at the mission completion message, Gustavo's eyes brightened slightly, his expression subtle. "So, missions in the Fate Supremacy War can be exceeded?"
"Is it because I directly eliminated the source of the danger, so I didn't need to Escape, and the mission was thus over-fulfilled?"
In that case, when completing Fate Battle Mission, shouldn't we strive to be as thorough as possible?
Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Gustavo opened the Virtual Fate Shop and selected one item from the dazzling array of goods.
[Basic All-Region Map] - You have one chance per day to see the locations of other combatants on your planet or province for 30 seconds.
[Exchange Price: 1 Fate Gold Coin]
[This is a privilege-based item that can be upgraded. The higher the level, the larger the area it covers. The Advanced All-Region Map allows you to see the location of all participants in the Star God Realm.]
"Tsk, only one Fate Gold Coin? The Goddess of Fate is really ruthless. Is she trying to make the participants engage in the Supreme God brutal fighting?" Gustavo muttered to himself, then spent one of his two Fate Gold Coin to exchange for Basic All-Region Map.
The next second, an ancient painting shimmering with golden light appeared in his mind, with beautiful Golden Sparrow patterns along the edges.
On the surface of the scroll, a map of the Savage Star was laid out completely flat, with mountains, rivers, and everything else depicted with unparalleled precision.
Gustavo glanced at the All-Region Map and his eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light, like a ferocious beast about to pounce on its prey. "Let me see, where are the participants from the Savage Star?"
As his Divine Power flowed into the All-Region Map, the scroll unfurled like clouds in the sky, ripples spreading out, and red highlights appeared, distributed across various parts of the scroll, totaling 89, including Gustavo himself.
"Eighty-nine participants, that's a decent number. If I can kill them all, I'll likely be able to recover to the Demigod level. Even if I can kill most of them, with the help of the local Fate Master System, I still have a chance to reach the Demigod level."
"We need to hurry!"
"The Star God Lineage exists solely based on the stars themselves, possessing the most advanced intelligence networks. If we could harness their power..."
While Gustavo was leading Victor to the location of the Molten Star Grand Star Envoy Molten Fire Great Star Envoy on the Savage Star, Lancelot on the Light Arrow Star was also busy.
The Medici Family castle.
In a garden filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, Lancelot is receiving instruction from two teachers, officially embarking on his training Fate Master System.
The two teachers come from the Soul Well Council, the Fate Master Sect behind the Jialuolin Family, and the Radiant Echo, the Fate Master Sect behind the Medici Family, respectively.
As powerful noble families who once assisted King Sun in founding the World King and possessed fiefdoms, both the Medici Family and Jialuolin Family wielded extremely terrifying political influence within the Dynasty of Stars, with their connections reaching every level.
Because of the existence of the Star God Lineage, the Fate Master Sect could not simply take from this powerful noble family; they could only cooperate with each other, which over time formed a peculiar tripartite system of checks and balances.
Fate Master possess formidable martial prowess, but they require mortal geniuses to maintain the sect's legacy and, more importantly, cultivation resources to advance their ranks.
The Star God Lineage also possesses formidable military power, but their existence relies on the mountains, rivers, and the dynasty's Fortune, and is constrained by the most insignificant mortals.
However, the power of mortals is in the hands of nobles; in other words, nobles can control the Star God Lineage.
At the same time, the nobles had vast fiefdoms, and although they were the weakest in terms of power, they controlled extremely abundant resources.
Whether it's the ores used to forge Fate Artifact artifacts or the complex materials used to refine life-bound elixirs, most of them are controlled by the nobility.
In this way, the Fate Master, Star God, and the powerful nobles of the fiefdoms can check and balance each other; if any one of them is lost, the entire system will collapse.
As descendants of the founding Duke Medici, the Medici Family possessed most of the Light Arrow Star as their legal fiefdom, and the position of Star Lord only circulated within the Medici Family. They could certainly be considered a great noble family. The Fate Master Sect [Radiant Echo], which cooperated with them, was no ordinary organization either. It was a well-known name in the entire Star God Realm, belonging to a large Fate Master Sect with formidable strength.
Furthermore, Luoni's mother, Medusa, came from the Jialuolin Family, which held a higher status than the Medici Family. The Soul Well Council, the Fate Master Sect behind her, was also stronger than the Radiant Echo.
However, even though these were the two teachers from the two large Fate Master Sect, after teaching Lancelot cultivation, they both began to think that they were probably not fools.
The talent of this young Duke Luoni as Fate Master was so great that it made the two Truth Fate Master feel ashamed of themselves.
"Terrifying talent!"
"The Fate he has received must be extraordinary."
After the initial shock came an intense surge of excitement. Both Truth Fate Master thought simultaneously, wouldn't it be a great achievement to recruit such a super genius into their sect?
In light of this, the two began to compete openly and covertly.
Although... this was originally one of their tasks.
Otherwise, why would each of the parents' families send a teacher?
Normally, teachers should come from the father's side of the family.
It is evident that Lancelot's adoptive mother, Medusa, harbored extreme distrust towards her husband and even serious suspicion towards the entire Medici Family; otherwise, she would not have acted this way.
In the garden, the extremely rich natural elements rushed into Lancelot's body through his mouth, nose, and other orifices, transforming into his own magical power after he practiced meditation.
After a long while, Lancelot exhaled a long breath and opened his bright eyes. He looked at the one of his two teachers, the one from the [Soul Well Council], and said, "Teacher Weishande, I have something I'd like to discuss with Teacher Kuliya alone."
But what about your safety...?
"Hmph, Weishande, what do you mean? Can't I protect Luoni?" Kuliya from [Radiant Echo] retorted angrily.
Weishande, without any hesitation, sowed discord in front of Lancelot, saying, "Heh, whether you're here to protect him or have other motives, only you know."
"Alright, Mr. Weishande, you know that Mr. Kuliya would never harm me," Lancelot interjected at the right moment, interrupting the argument between the two.
Weishande said no more and turned to leave.
After confirming that Weishande had left, Lancelot looked at Kuliya with a cold gaze, as if he were a mirror that could see right through people's hearts.
Under this gaze, the burly-looking Kuliya felt a tightness in his chest. He could easily crush the little guy in front of him, yet he couldn't help but feel nervous, as if he were facing the leader of a sect—it just didn't make sense.
Could this be what they call the aura of a king?
"Teacher Kuliya, please tell the elders of the Radiant Echo Cult that if they agree to one condition, from now on, the Savage Star will become the exclusive resource zone of the Radiant Echo Cult."
"What do you mean?!" Kuliya exclaimed in surprise, somewhat confused.
"Hehe, just relay the message truthfully. There are some things I don't want to pursue anymore. Some opportunities, once missed, can never be regained!" Lancelot Earth Dao meaningfully.
Unaware of the inside story, Kuliya was startled. Although he didn't know the subtext of Lancelot's words, he keenly sensed that he had to report this to the sect's higher-ups as soon as possible.
Watching Kuliya leave in a hurry, Lancelot's expression was inscrutable. "All-Region Map? Perhaps, this thing is more useful to me!"
