Chapter 1 Something to be Excited About

Shifeng held the Soul Orb in his hand, his heart filled with unspeakable excitement.

The Seven Treasures were genuine divine artifacts.

They were not something that legendary items could compare with. Even among the ancient gods, very few possessed a single divine artifact, which showed just how rare they were, let alone for mortals.

In his previous life, Shifeng had never heard of a player possessing a divine artifact.

Of course, it was also possible that they were hiding it. If the news really got out, who knew what a great impact it would cause?

So in the eyes of those god-level experts, legendary items were already divine artifacts.

After all, legendary items already allowed players to challenge opponents above their level. A true divine artifact was simply unimaginable.

Although the Seven Treasures were not weapons or equipment, they also possessed the power to suppress the entire abyss, which showed how incredible divine artifacts were.

But now that Shifeng thought about it.

The Soul Water produced by the Soul Orb could give players unprecedented etherealness and active thinking. This was not something that could be achieved by simply increasing magic power density. How could an epic item possibly do that?

The only explanation was that only a divine artifact could accomplish such an incredible feat.

The Soul Orb, an epic item, was originally a fragment of the Illusory Treasure, but it was reforged by the demon god Bymon, sealing its original true power.

It possesses Skill One, Soul Water, which allows the player to actively sacrifice a portion of their soul to create Soul Water, without a cooldown period (one drop of Soul Water can be obtained for every one hundred players absorbed).

It possesses Skill Two, Divine Power Absorption, which can restore itself by absorbing divine power (there are a total of three seals. Unlocking the first seal requires ten Divine Crystals, currently absorbed: 0).

Although this item was sealed by the demon god Bymon, it was reawakened by the Golden Holy Mark, and the demon god's seal can be broken by absorbing divine power. If a player holds this item, it will definitely drop upon death, and those who do not possess the Holy Mark will be devoured by demonic power.

Just as Shifeng didn't have time to be happy for long, he heard a system notification in his ear.

System: The demon god Bymon has discovered that the Soul Orb has been awakened and has issued a warrant for its retrieval to all players of the dark forces. If the Soul Orb leaves the three-yard radius of the Holy Mark, the Soul Orb will be teleported back to Bymon by demonic power.

"Is it necessary to be so serious?" Shifeng was speechless when he heard the system notification.

This system notification was equivalent to saying that the Soul Orb could not leave him at all, and could only be carried in his backpack. But if he died, the Soul Orb would definitely drop, and then the Soul Orb would still return to the hands of the demon god Bymon. In addition, the warrant issued to all dark players was also a huge threat.

Since it was a warrant, there must be some special means for dark players to discover the location of the Soul Orb, just like the Golden Holy Mark. It was as if as long as he left the NPC city, there was a high probability that he would be attacked by dark players.

If that was the case, it would be too detrimental to him.

Originally, his actions were mainly covert, not wanting people to know. The Soul Orb was equivalent to a tracker, but without holding the Soul Orb, the treasure fragment that he had finally obtained would be gone.

"Could it be that I can only go to the War God Temple?" Shifeng said with a headache.

The War God Temple wanted him to collect the Seven Treasures. If he discovered the Seven Treasures and handed them over to the War God Temple, he could complete the task, but correspondingly, he would also lose the Seven Treasures.

The Seven Treasures!

Although they were not weapons or equipment, the abilities they possessed were unmatched by any epic or legendary items. It was really not worth it to hand them over after finally getting them.

Just as Shifeng was thinking about what to do, Water Rose suddenly contacted him.

"Guild Leader, Feng Qianyu has already brought people here, saying that she wants to use the Mystic Stone Tablet now." Water Rose said urgently, "But we haven't decided on the quota yet. Do we need to ask them to wait a while?"

"They came so fast!" Shifeng couldn't help but be surprised. It hadn't been long since the end of the Dark Auction, but Feng Qianyu had actually rushed over directly. "Tell Feng Qianyu that I have important matters to deal with here and need her to wait for three hours. By the way, notify Banxia Qingcheng, Ziyan Liuyun, Siyu Qingxuan, and Zhao Yueru, and then the five of you will enter the Mystic Space first."

Mystic spells were of great help to magic players. Although there were still many magic experts in the Zero Wing Guild, Water Rose and the others had the greatest potential, so they naturally had priority to enter.

But before they entered, he still needed to do something.

Now that the Soul Orb had become like this, before handing it over to the War God Temple, he should at least use it first to accumulate some Soul Water.

"I understand."

Water Rose nodded, feeling very happy, because she also had a share in the five places. Maybe after entering the Mystic Space, she could become another expert in the Zero Wing Guild to enter the Insight Realm.

Just after Water Rose hung up the communication, Shifeng was just thinking about notifying Melancholy Smile to let her organize a group of ordinary life players from the Candlelight Firm, especially the life players who were preparing in the Candlelight Firm. As long as they were willing to dedicate their souls, they could get the treatment of a formal member of the Candlelight Firm for five days.

Now the Candlelight Firm was the number one firm in Star-Moon Kingdom. The benefits and treatments enjoyed in the Candlelight Firm could not be compared with other firms. So many life players wanted to join the Candlelight Firm every day, but not everyone could become a formal member. Only life players who were deemed to have good potential could become reserve members. After becoming a reserve member, they could only become formal members after passing the Candlelight Firm's test.

Because they were reserve members, they didn't enjoy any treatment, only stronger than those free life players.

But even so, large numbers of life players still wanted to join the Candlelight Firm every day.

So now, offering the treatment of a formal member for five days should be considered a very good treatment for reserve members. After all, experience points were only a side effect for life players, and the weakened state only lasted for four or five days. Compared with the treatment of a formal member of the Candlelight Firm, many reserve members should agree.

"How could I forget about Xia Lian?" Shifeng suddenly thought of Xia Lian, the Tier 5 peak Red-Clad High Priest.

Whether it was her identity or strength, Xia Lian naturally didn't need to be said.

After all, even the mysterious youth who used super magic had to run away when he saw Xia Lian.

That mysterious youth dared to snatch the Golden Stone Tablet in Blackwing City. Even a Tier 5 peak player probably couldn't beat him, which showed how strong the Red-Clad High Priest Xia Lian was. Moreover, she knew a lot about God's Domain, so maybe she had a solution.

"Let's try it first. If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to accumulate some Soul Water and then hand it over to the War God Temple in exchange for rewards."

Thinking of this, Shifeng directly contacted Melancholy Smile, first letting Melancholy Smile prepare manpower, so that when he came back, the number of people Melancholy Smile had gathered would be about the same.

Although Shifeng wanted to get more players to contribute their souls, the fact that he had obtained the Soul Orb had already been known by the Seven Sin Flowers. If he went too far, it would definitely make the people of the Seven Sin Flowers associate him with it.

That was to say, the Ice Eye Killer was a member of the Zero Wing Guild.

If this news was accidentally spread to the ears of King's Return, the consequences would be disastrous.

At that time, King's Return would definitely fight to the death. After all, this was a major event concerning the guild's honor, and it was impossible to let it go easily.

So he couldn't collect souls too openly, and it had to be fast.

If he held the Soul Orb for too long, it was also likely to be known by the people of the Seven Sin Flowers. After all, the demon god Bymon had already issued a warrant. If the Soul Orb was discovered on a member of Zero Wing, the result would be the same.

Afterwards, Shifeng quietly left the Candlelight Firm and took a high-class carriage to the library.
