Chapter 238 -164: The Blind Box in the Book of Divine Favor, Dead Comet_2

“[Using this weapon, your shell’s strength will greatly increase during nights illuminated by starlight.]

“…”

Lin Xun’s face fell into a long silence, his expression incredulous.

Typically, a weapon of epic level already makes for pretty decent loot.

But this was a reward handed down by ‘Almighty True Knowledge’, scoring such a ‘plucked’ weapon felt like a letdown.

Those who often walk by the river may end up with wet shoes. Even the luckiest people can hit a snag from time to time.

Lin Xun sighed faintly, feeling like he had experienced the gaming perspective of an unfortunate player.

Then he furrowed his brow, realizing that things were not so simple.

‘Almighty True Knowledge’ was a god among gods, making the many gods of ‘Bright Stars’ seem as powerful as paper.

Surely such a powerful deity wouldn’t have recorded such a trivial piece of equipment in ‘The Book of the Favored’…it would seem so out of place.

[The ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’ also watches you with anticipation, as a witness to your receiving divine grace.]

[As it sees you flip to the fixed page of the book, that plain and unremarkable long sword on the paper seems particularly glaring…]

[It falls silent for a long time, its wrinkled face contorted into a complex expression.]

[The ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’ hesitated for a while before explaining to you that during the divine war, many devout and powerful followers fought against the Stars with the True God.]

[Some of them were once mortals who evolved into demi-gods, even great figures who grew to be gods.]

[You are not the first to flip through this book. In the distant past, those loyal and powerful followers also received divine grace and were favored within the book.]

[The page you flipped to originally documented the magic robe of ‘Extinct Comet’ from the Stars.]

[The power of this evil god may not compare to the ‘Master of the Stars,’ but it was formidable nonetheless. The magic robe of the evil god ‘Extinct Comet’ can be considered a decent piece of equipment.]

[Unfortunately, the favor in this page of the book has already been claimed by someone else…]

[Now, the long sword in the book is something the ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’ added when it saw the blank page, making use of some odds and ends to ensure the completeness of ‘The Book of the Favored’.]

The text in front of him seemed to silently mock Lin Xun.

So what he had drawn was — “Thank you for your patronage.”

“Damn it! Servant of God of Knowledge, why did you have to be so damn OCD? Did you really have to add these crap weapons to the book that’s supposed to be of ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ grade?!”

“No, wait. If the Servant of God of Knowledge hadn’t added something, wouldn’t I have flipped to a blank page, basically coming up empty-handed?”

“At least I have an epic level weapon now. Not bad, not bad at all.”

Using mental gymnastics, Lin Xun forcefully convinced himself that he came out on top.

[The wrinkles on the ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’s’ face deepened, it seemed to also feel that its private actions were inappropriate.]

[It fell silent for a long time, muttering to itself, possibly because its unauthorized operation deprived you, who are deeply favored by ‘Almighty True Knowledge’, of receiving further divine grace.]

[You listen and frequently nod, very much agreeing with the ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’s’ view.]

[After pacing back and forth and contemplating for quite a while, it finally spoke to you again.]

[The ‘Servant of God of Knowledge’ tells you that because of its operation, you missed out on divine grace. It needs to make up for this mistake, so it has decided to let you flip through ‘The Book of the Favored’ one more time.]

[Please forget about the ‘Starlight Cross Sword’ result you just got. But if you flip to the items it filled in again, it means this is truly the will of the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ and cannot be resisted.]

[Do you want to flip open ‘The Book of the Favored’ again and obtain the reward within?]

Lin Xun licked his lips. ‘Thanks for your patronage’ turned into ‘One more try’, which reignited his hope.

“The Lucky Coins are not reliable either. I’d better wash my hands to avoid drawing crappy equipment again.”

He got up to go to the bathroom, washing his hands carefully with hand wash.

After this mysterious operation, he felt that the ritual had reached its peak.

So he picked up his phone in a more formal manner and hit ‘Yes’.

“Please don’t let it be ‘Thanks for your patronage’ again. If I get ‘Thanks for your patronage’ again, there won’t be another chance!”

“[You open the ‘Book of the Favored’ again, with a heart full of devotion…]

“[The ‘Lucky Coin’ you carry flickers faintly…]

“[The pages rustle as they turn, quickly settling on a single sheet.]

“Hmm? Did the Lucky Coin take effect?”

Lin Xun didn’t have time to think, his eyes were riveted on the game text.

“[On the snowy white paper, a shimmering crystal is inscribed – within the crystal, a phantom-like soul meanders.]

[‘Crystal that Traps the Soul of the Gods'(Legend+ level item), the soul of a certain fallen Star God from the God War, is trapped and wanders within this mysterious crystal.]

[After use, the item will generate a unique item according to the Apostle’s spiritual talent.]

Lin Xun was overjoyed.

Although he didn’t get any artifact or godlike skill, an exclusive item was undoubtedly more suitable for him than any artifact.

Even powerful skills and equipment will eventually be phased out, while the exclusive item can bring out the potential of his Thousand Faces and Million Forms spiritual talent.

Thousand Faces and Million Forms was his foundation, the basis of his existence. Enhancing the potential of his spiritual talent would immensely boost his gameplay process.

The ‘Leader’s Face’ he got earlier significantly intensified his power, no longer having to fret over which shell should receive the experience points – all shells would be upgraded to the highest level immediately.

The soul crystal he had just obtained was half a level higher than the one he got from the giant ‘Dan’ in the Blood Sun world.

And the unique item it would produce should be just as good.

“In critical times, it’s all up to the ‘Lucky Coin’… “, Lin Xun couldn’t help muttering.

[The ‘Knowledge Servant’ looks at you expectantly as you flip to the page with the ‘Crystal that Traps the Soul of the Gods’, and smiles in relief.]

[It candidly tells you that as a believer favored by ‘Almighty True Knowledge’, it is only natural for you to receive such divine favors.]

[Seemingly, it was its reckless actions that disrupted the True God’s will.]

[With a wave of its hand, a myriad of pure white characters emerge from nowhere, swirling around a glowing crystal in its hand.]

[The ‘Knowledge Servant’ is about to hand you the crystal, but suddenly frowns.]

[It scrutinizes the crystal in its hand, as if confounded by something.]

[You have a bad feeling and quickly step forward to enquire…]

[The ‘Knowledge Servant’ holds the crystal close and carefully examines the wandering soul within. The soul itself seems to feel the gaze and opens a gaping maw filled with fangs, emitting a silent, shrill scream.]

[The ‘Knowledge Servant’ sighs deeply and explains to you that the evil god trapped in the crystal is none other than the ‘Comet of Death’. Although the evil god is not particularly strong, its Authority is unique.]

[The ‘Comet of Death’ commands a portion of the Authority of Death. Even after its death and loss of its body, leaving only a trapped soul, the Authority of Death can still take effect.]

[Unlike other soul crystals, the ‘Comet of Death’ can choose whether or not to annihilate its soul.]

[In other words, the evil god, which is now only a soul, can choose self-annihilation.]

[Evil gods are called so because of the deep-rooted malice in their divinities.]

[If you intend to use this crystal, the ‘Comet of Death’ would choose self-annihilation without hesitation. Once the evil god’s soul is gone, the crystal naturally loses its previous function.]

[The ‘Comet of Death’ won’t grant you any benefits, not even if it annihilates its own soul.]

[The ‘Comet of Death’ being trapped in the crystal and not choosing self-destruction is simply awaiting the return of the Stars to defeat the True God and rescue it.]

[Having said this, the ‘Knowledge Servant’ hands you the shimmering crystal…]

[You have acquired the ‘Crystal that Traps the Soul of the Gods’ (Legend+ level item)!]

The rollercoaster of emotions Lin Xun felt while opening a mystery box was… somewhat overwhelming.

Just when he thought he had won a big prize – a large-screen TV – he’s told that the TV can’t be switched on and can only be used as decoration.

[You ask the ‘Knowledge Servant’ if he might have grabbed the wrong crystal. According to what it told you earlier, there are many other soul crystals of evil gods in the Book of the Favored. Could you perhaps quietly exchange it for another crystal?]

“Since I am such a faithful and devoted believer, the Knowledge Servant should be able to turn a blind eye, right?”

Lin Xun prayed silently, hoping that he could replace this embarrassing crystal.
