Chapter 398: Chapter 315: Julia’s Divine Artifact: Death Substitute

In short, Old Deng has already paved the way for the awakening; all I need to do is sneak into their bedroom. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Now there’s only one thing left: how do I escape from the Heroic Spirit Hall? Sure, sneaking in is indeed a way of escaping, but I need to give the First One a reasonable explanation. If he guards me for days and then discovers I’m not there, who’s the most suspicious? He could very well interrogate Eve’s soul, and that would be bad.

So, I need to make him think I’ve fled, easing his vigilance, but in reality, I haven’t run away. This will make it easier to sneak in and contact the City Beauty.

Chun asked, "I’ve infiltrated the Heroic Spirit Hall, but I’m also being watched by the First One and don’t dare to make any big moves. Is there a way to make him mistakenly think I’ve escaped?"

The Ugly Emperor said, "Just like me, annihilate yourself!"

Chun sweating, said, "I don’t have the power to annihilate myself."

The Ugly Emperor continued, "Perhaps I can make a big commotion outside the city, making the opponent suspect you’ve escaped?"

Chun thought this was reliable: "But wouldn’t that be risky for you?"

The Ugly Emperor said, "Absolutely. But we must act quickly; the sooner you ’escape,’ the less Eve will be implicated. I’ll go find an opportunity now."

After speaking, the Ugly Emperor removed his bulky clown suit and donned a gentleman’s tuxedo, carrying a heavy briefcase, exuding a totally different aura of kindness and gentleness.

Chun was truly taken aback: "Could you possibly wear this flower I have, so I can broaden my horizons and keep in touch at any time?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed, "Sure, just hang it on the bowtie as a decoration, but you need to remain invisible."

"No problem."

And so they went out, with the Ugly Emperor walking extremely slowly, like an elderly man on a leisurely stroll.

Chun recollected something: "It’s not dawn yet; isn’t it suspicious for an old man to go out for a walk now?"

The Ugly Emperor said, "Let’s avoid typing for now; you’ll understand later. If there’s an emergency, just vibrate once."

Alright, this is Space City after all; maybe their lifestyle is different.

Before long, the Ugly Emperor arrived at the street, rummaging through a trash can, pulling out discarded newspapers, before stuffing them contentedly into the briefcase.

Holy shit!

Although Chun already knew Old Deng wasn’t doing well at the Golden Divine Throne, he never expected this... never expected foraging in the Golden Divine Throne would still require such decorum!

Chun felt a bit uncomfortable watching. This is someone who has abandoned the divine position and human dignity, all for a century-old agreement with me. Even if he’s not a god, Chun felt he had transcended godhood!

Honestly, this was supposed to be my S-grade family trial. It shouldn’t have escalated to needing outside help. So who else can I rely on?

Chun suddenly thought of the Eye of Dibilon from the chief. He said that even if the energy is exhausted, it can still be used to contact the Earth Mother! Of course, find the Earth Mother!

But this is space; would the Earth Mother appear here? It’s not impossible! After all, gods are higher-dimensional beings existing simultaneously across past, present, and future. I’m going to the Golden Divine Throne for training, she should know and could possibly have been preparing for a hundred years like the Black Iron Guardian God!

Chun immediately switched back to his small character, which currently had only a bud slightly emerging at the mountainside. In such circumstances, can this state use a Divine Artifact?

Chun opened the inventory, attempted to use the Eye of Dibilon, and also saw the red box Julia gave him before departure. It was reworked from the withered heart of a Blood Demon but was noticeably different from the previous Cold Ice Dragon King’s horn, and the Storm Lord’s eye—did it have any special attributes?

In any case, first use the Eye of Dibilon.

—System Notification: You have activated the energy-depleted Eye of Dibilon.

Chun only felt a slight ripple spreading out, and then nothing happened.

Chun waited quietly, and after the Ugly Emperor walked across two streets and rummaged through several trash cans, he still received no feedback from the Eye of Dibilon.

Holy shit? Is this the legendary... unreliable?

Then let’s see the box Julia gave me, open the box!

—System Notification: You are about to activate the Flesh Substitute. The Flesh Substitute can copy or absorb your attributes, disguising as your name and appearance, and bear a death for you. The more attributes you devote, the higher the disguise completion. Once the substitute dies, it will simulate related effects of your real death. Do you wish to activate the substitute?

Holy shit! Julia this is...

Chun suddenly recalled when he handed the withered blood demon’s heart to Julia at the Black Dragon Inn, Julia’s attitude had changed, even asking if I had been to the purchase site...this clearly triggered her event! It’s possible that the blood demon who had its heart dug out on the spot was her ancestor or something?

And this substitute setting is obviously customized for me to complete this S-grade trial task! After all, the president sister said that the S-grade trial can only remain disguised and hidden for a short time. I’ve resolved the hiding issue, but this disguise issue...

So, is the effect of this substitute death the same as annihilation?

Anyway, let’s try using it!

—System Notification: You activated the Flesh Substitute, please copy your form. 1, Current transformed state. 2, Original state.

Of course, choose 2, copy the original form.

—System Notification: Flesh Substitute successfully copied original form, appearance similarity 90%, attribute similarity 0. Resources or attributes can be invested to increase attribute similarity.

Ah, what?

Is it really going to absorb my attributes? Although my attribute combat power is insignificant here—but resources to be invested?

Chun suddenly remembered his Earth Flame Crystal Core, weren’t my attributes supported by this Earth Flame Crystal Core? The Earth Flame Crystal Core was synthesized from several cores?

After all, the chief has a lot of these Earth Flame Crystal Cores, so just break off a piece as a resource investment to try.

—System Notification: You have decomposed an Earth Flame Crystal Core; your Earth Flame Barrier’s flame resistance decreases by 70%, Earth Series resistance decreases by 70%, absorbing flame damage decreases by 70 points... Your Earth Flame constitution weakens, Earth Flame mana -1000, defense -30, life value -100.

—System Notification: Do you wish to invest the Earth Flame Crystal Core as substitute resources? Once the substitute dies, the crystal core will be difficult to recover.

Holy shit! Chun gritted his teeth, invest it!

The Earth Flame Crystal Core entered the flesh box—System Prompt: Current attribute similarity 70%, would you like to continue investing attributes? Or complete the substitute’s creation?

Holy shit, a 90% plus a 70%, with the exploding crystal core upon death, isn’t this similarity enough in the pitch-black world where the exposure of Divine Artifacts is lethal?

Complete the substitute creation!

—System Notification: Substitute creation complete, you may carry the substitute or deploy it to experience the effects of death.

Who the hell wants to experience that? This is just no choice.

Then deploy the substitute in the sewer to try. If successful in the deception, Old Deng won’t have to take risks by exposing himself.
