Beneath the sycamore tree, two Follower of the End lay unconscious on the cold ground. Ouljia and several other members of the Apocalypse Cult were playing a board game popular in the Dynasty of Stars around a stone table.
After making a move in chess, a short and thin Fate Master looked up at Logo's room and asked, "What kind of potion is Master Lude concocting? Why isn't there any smell wafting out?"
"It is said that the more skilled Fate Potion Master is in concocting medicines, the more properly they handle the properties of the herbs, the less likely the aroma will spread. Perhaps Master Lude's skills are already high enough?" another Fate Master speculated.
Ouljia lazily tapped the chessboard and said, "Play your game. From now on, discuss Master Lude's affairs less. When you return to the sect, if others ask you questions, say as little as possible and don't talk nonsense."
Upon hearing this, the group's expressions tightened, and they quickly agreed.
Inside the room, Logo was unaware of Ouljia and the others' conversation, nor did he care.
He was sitting on the bed, with bottles of prepared medicine on the table in front of him. If Ouljia and the others found these medicines, they would be amazed by his terrifying efficiency.
Taking out some refined metal, Logo summoned the Book of Runes. With a thought, the Eye of Omniscience on the cover transformed into a dark vortex. After throwing the metal into the vortex, the structure of the Book of Runes began to solidify further, evolving from a "Fate Art Template" towards a "Fate Artifact".
This step was no big deal for the alchemy master Logo. After the metal was completely absorbed, he had already completed his level advancement and become Level Four Fate Artifact Master.
"The next step is to become Level Five Truth Fate Master. According to information gathered from various sources, this breakthrough will bring unknown calamities. That's interesting. Advancing to a higher life level actually involves so-called tribulations. Is it man-made, or...?"
Flipping through the information gathered from various sources in his mind, with thoughts swirling in his head, Logo picked up a bottle of potion and drank it all in one gulp.
The Book of Runes glowed faintly, rapidly transforming the potion into magical power, which surged and roared like a mighty river.
The magical power of the Fate Master System is not Endless; it mainly depends on the number of Fate Art available, and the two are directly proportional.
The more Fate Art you accumulate, the higher your maximum mana will be.
However, for most Fate Master, mastering the Fate Art is an extremely difficult problem.
As for Logo, is there a limit to the number of Fate Art he can have? Isn't that something you can just have as many as you want?
"I still have one Fate Gold Coin, what should I do with it?"
After a moment's thought, Logo purchased the Tier One of the Revival Badge and activated it.
A familiar aura of bloodline surged into his heart. The Felix Family's "Web of Time" and the Kalenos Family's "Space-Devouring Ring" seemed to descend from nowhere, perfectly merging into Lude Shiva's body.
"Time..."
Minghu City.
Star God Temple.
This is a stone temple built in the center of the city, with a constant stream of believers coming and going. Through the Eye of Omniscience on the cover of the Book of Runes, Logo can see the rich human Fortune, like overlapping clouds floating above the temple.
At the very front of the main hall, a statue of a deity stands before ancient murals.
The mural depicts thirteen figures in different poses, their faces extremely blurry and their features indistinct, only their bodies are relatively clear.
Ouljia and several other Fate Master from the Apocalypse Cult gazed with great reverence at the "Thirteen Sacred Kings" depicted in the mural. Even though the figures in the mural were not friendly to Fate Master, from the perspective of cultivation alone, they were still worthy of respect Pioneer.
"Since the fall of the World King, for some unknown reason, the statues scattered throughout the Continent of Stars have become blurred, as if some force is deliberately trying to erase the existence of World King." Minghu Star Envoy suddenly appeared behind the group, looking like an old gentleman, full of refined and easygoing temperament.
"Erase existence? Who could it be? The Seven Demons of the End?"
"It's unlikely. As far as I know, the Seven Demons of the End are still sealed in the Underworld, suppressed by the only remaining Hades among the Thirteen Sacred Kings. While their power is formidable, it's improbable that they could erase the existence of the World King."
After saying this, the Minghu Star Envoy did not say anything more about the World King, but turned his gaze to Logo: "What price are you prepared to pay for my temporary protection?"
Will this work?
Logo raised his hand, took out a bottle of light blue potion, and handed it to Minghu Star Envoy.
The latter took the bottle, opened it a crack, sniffed it a few times, and his expression immediately changed. His gaze towards Logo became much more serious. "How many of these potions do you have left? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy them!"
Upon hearing this, Ouljia and the others couldn't help but look at Logo with curiosity in their eyes.
I knew in advance that the strength of the Star God Lineage depended solely on its position within the Star God System.
The higher one's status, the wider the territory one governs, the more abundant the human race's Fortune one receives, and the stronger one's power becomes, without relying much on independent cultivation.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, potions that satisfy Fate Master have little effect on the Star God Lineage, and their appeal is negligible.
The fact that Minghu Star Envoy reacted this way could only mean that the pale blue potion had an extraordinary effect on the Star God Lineage, naturally arousing the curiosity of Ouljia and the others.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Logo smiled slightly and explained, "Personally, I'm quite willing to trade with the Star God Lineage. The problem is, I've now joined the Apocalypse Cult. Small-scale potion transactions are fine, but for large-scale supplies, I'm afraid you'll need the cult's permission."
Having worked within a certain system, Logo was always experienced and knew exactly what to say and what roles to play.
As expected, after Logo finished speaking, Ouljia's eyes flashed with satisfaction. She had a better impression of Logo and felt that this old man was indeed worthy of living to be a hundred years old. His handling of various relationships and his grasp of the proper measure were truly admirable.
After giving Logo a deep look, Minghu Star Envoy turned his gaze to Ouljia, his meaning clear.
Ouljia and said, "I can't make a decision on this matter either. Let's talk about it after the mission is completed. In short, if you want a stable supply of this potion, you must pay close attention to Master Lude's safety. After all, this potion is his exclusive formula."
"Yes, don't worry. In my temple, even Level Five Truth Fate Master cannot harm Master Lude."
"With your words, I'm relieved. Master Lude, you stay here at the Minghu Temple and wait for our return. Until then, don't wander off. Those Follower of the End are irrational lunatics; we must be careful."
Logo nodded slightly, watching Ouljia and the others leave the Star God Temple, and then followed the Minghu Star Envoy into the depths of the main hall.
