Chapter 1798: Chapter 1716: Item Duplication

The King of Hell said noncommittally, "That’s indeed one way to put it."

"But like you, I am also a Quasi-Supreme God. If I acquire Destiny, I too can become a Supreme God. There’s only one Rules of Fate. How do we share it?" The Barbarian God shook his head.

"No, you and I are different. The God of Destiny has controlled Destiny for countless years, yet he has not ascended to become a Supreme God to this day. Even if you acquire Destiny, you’ll be the same as him because you’re lacking something."

"Oh? What are we lacking?"

"You’re lacking the experience of being the Master of a World, the feeling of having all things bow down before you, that aura of ’supremacy.’ Without experiencing ’supreme,’ how can you become ’supreme’? In the Heaven Realm, you’ll never experience this aspect with those Supreme Gods present, you’ll always be beneath them. But I have been the Master of the Mortal World for countless years, always an existence of supreme authority."

"But you know, I am the Son of God, an extraordinary lineage, not to be judged by common standards," the Barbarian God said indifferently.

"Your lineage indeed gives you an advantage. But if you want to ascend to Supreme, the best way is to absorb the Crystallization of the Divine King, first having the power of a Supreme God, and then understanding and controlling a Supreme Rule. That’s easier than directly acquiring a Supreme Rule for ascension. I’ve existed since the age of the Divine King, experienced all the eras, and you are just a junior in comparison. When it comes to the laws of heaven and earth, I understand them better than you." The King of Hell said, as his figure disappeared into the void, leaving behind his tempting voice—

"You and I will join forces to kill the God of Destiny. The Rules of Fate will belong to me, and the ’Book of Fate’ will belong to you. After that, we’ll join forces to conquer the Dead Star. I will help you defeat the God of Slaughter and unite the Demon Realm. Once you’ve thought it through, visit Heaven’s Ruins."

The Barbarian God stared at the spot where the King of Hell vanished, frowning and falling into deep thought.

Although he seemed indifferent, he actually understood very well that what the King of Hell said was true. He indeed was more suited to becoming a Supreme God through the Crystallization of the Divine King.

That’s why his clone in the First World wanted to send a trace of the Crystallization of the Divine King into the Heaven Realm, to assist his true body in ascending to Supreme.

However, his plan was thwarted by Huang Yi, and now it has become immensely difficult to obtain even a trace of the Crystallization of the Divine King.

But trying to acquire the Rules of Fate for ascension to Supreme is also very difficult. The God of Destiny has had the Rules of Fate for countless years and still hasn’t ascended to Supreme, which speaks volumes.

At the moment, the Barbarian God found it hard to decide on the King of Hell’s proposal.

...

Time passed day by day, and Huang Yi resumed his past life in the Rose Prison, even more routine than before.

Previously, he would often stay online for a long time, with meals brought in by the brothers of the Rose Prison.

But after the poisoning incident last time, he now takes precaution. Once it’s mealtime, he logs off and goes to the cafeteria himself.

He is now the Master of the Mortal World, the threat of the Demon Clan has been completely neutralized, and the situation is stable. There’s no need to be online for long periods; no one can threaten The Second World.

That day, after finishing dinner, he returned to his cell, lay on the bed, and entered the forum of the virtual world.

The forum was still filled with posts about him defeating the King of Hell to become the Master of the Mortal World.

In recent days, forums, TV news, online media... have been flooded with discussions about this event. It’s considered the biggest event since the virtual world opened in this generation.

Previously, although Sharp Sword became the Underworld King, the Underworld isn’t where most players primarily reside, and the process didn’t involve battling an ultimate boss like the King of Hell, so it lacked buzz.

However, the Mortal Realm is significant to almost every player worldwide, much more important than the Underworld.

Additionally, in the battle where Huang Yi drove away the King of Hell, nearly all players worldwide participated in person and could relate.

Huang Yi had no interest in these posts and looked at other news.

"The World Federation is forced to accept the consensus reached at the Geneva international meeting, as the International Court begins the judgment process."

"The Era of Corporation announced that data of several players will be retained for the next generation of the virtual world, including Super-First Class masters like God of Slaughter, Sharp Sword, Dream Against the Heavens, Dao Feng, Ice Queen, and others."

"Several well-known analysts speculate that the next generation of the virtual world’s plot will focus on Xuanhuang World, the Underworld, and the Land of Origin."

"In his first media interview following the fall of the Spirit Demon: Preparing actively for the next virtual world, will not join the God of Slaughter’s camp, does not wish to associate with the God of Slaughter again."

...

Seeing this, Huang Yi sighed inwardly.

He had already known upon returning to The Second World that the Xuanhuang Worm had signed a Master-Servant Contract with the Poison Master, and it was a Xuanhuang World’s Master-Servant Contract, different from the contract of the Western Universe.

Over the past few days, he tried finding the Spirit Demon, hoping for help in acquiring the Xuanhuang Worm, but the Spirit Demon refused.

Last time, the Spirit Demon’s Divine Embryo helped Huang Yi against the Poison Master purely for revenge against the King of Hell and did not represent a reconciliation with Huang Yi.

Now, Huang Yi has no choice but to think of another way.

The most direct method is to have Miyamoto Musashi brew a bottle of Pact of Water for him, but gathering materials will take a long time, and many of them can’t be bought even with money.

Huang Yi has already made up his mind to use his "Rule of Death" to get that Xuanhuang Worm. Recently, he has had people continue collecting Time Flower Fruits, and once enough are gathered, he can give it a try.

After browsing through the latest news briefly, he entered The Second World.

As soon as he logged in, he appeared at the top level of the Holy Temple of the Dragon Clan and saw two beauties, one tall and one short.

Qin Shiyu was leaning by the window, joking with Xiao Chunzi, with sunlight bathing their graceful figures, making them particularly captivating.

Huang Yi walked over directly, reached out with both hands, and embraced them left and right.

"Take your paws off! You want to hold both of us, you big pervert!" Qin Shiyu glared at Huang Yi and pushed his hands away, then took out a handful of golden fruits from her storage ring and said, "Here, these are what we’ve acquired these days."

Huang Yi reached out to take the Time Flower Fruits, held them in his palm, and counted them carefully—there were 12 in total.

"Brother, I can help you make more!" Suddenly, Xiao Chunzi extended her little hand, pointed at the Time Flower Fruits, and chanted a spell in a sweet voice: "Artifact Duplication!"

The next moment, seven more Time Flower Fruits appeared in her little hand.

"What’s this ability? You used to only be able to copy skills, but now you can duplicate items too?" Huang Yi was startled. He took one Time Flower Fruit from her and inspected it, confirming it was genuine and not a fake.

"Yes! This is the last Nefalem Skill I gained after reaching level 270 yesterday. I can duplicate items now, but these Time Flower Fruits are of such high quality. I used up all my Power of the Nefalem just to duplicate seven."

"Can you duplicate things like Pact of Water or Crystallization of the Divine King?" Huang Yi asked.

"Probably not! Duplicating those would consume too much Power of the Nefalem, way beyond my limit, even if I reach level 300." Xiao Chunzi shook her head.

"Alright!" Huang Yi took the seven Time Flower Fruits from Xiao Chunzi as well, and tossed them into his mouth one by one, like eating candy.

He had previously obtained one-quarter of the Crystallization of the Divine King, and he was refining it now, which would take a long time to complete. The Time Flower Fruits were the most efficient tools for speeding up the refinement.

Last time, when players worldwide fused with him, they condensed a part of the Crystallization of the Divine King, which only temporarily existed in his body, allowing only partial function.

To enable the Crystallization of the Divine King to function to its maximum, it needs to be completely refined and absorbed into his body, not stored in crystalline form.

He had been attempting to refine the Crystallization of the Divine King for days, but the progress was slow. Despite his formidable power, several days had passed, and the progress was still at 1%, with no telling when it would be complete.

Now, as the Time Flower Fruits entered his mouth one by one, the golden time energy surged into his body, accelerating the refinement of the Crystallization of the Divine King.

In an instant, the black-and-white Crystallization of the Divine King began to melt more rapidly, its volume shrinking like ice cream, turning into a black-and-white liquid and getting absorbed by his body.

His aura surged again, and his power began to increase dramatically once more.

He was already at the level of a Main God, and once he completely absorbed these Crystallization of the Divine King, he could absolutely contend with the Barbarian God, nearing Supreme God levels.

However, as part of the Creator Ancestral Spirits system, he couldn’t be called a Supreme God, and in recent days he hadn’t found a way for Divine Enthronement.

There wasn’t an attribute on the Slaughter Blade called [Divine Enthronement]—after fulfilling the conditions for Divine Enthronement, you could choose to enthrone directly without undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation. If you have a deep accumulation, after Divine Enthronement, you can directly reach the strength of the Tyrant when he was alive.

But it only applies to non-Ancestral Spirits; if it were Dao Feng, Thunder God, or others, then this attribute would be effective.

Now that Huang Yi had become an Ancestral Spirit, this attribute is no longer effective.

He has also inquired with Ancestral Dragon, Moon Father, and War Master, these Creator Ancestral Spirits, but none of them know how to achieve Divine Enthronement, nor have they ever tried to find a way.

Huang Yi has gradually lost interest in this matter; after all, not achieving Divine Enthronement has its benefits—he can travel between Heaven and the Mortal Realm via Heroes’ Prison at any time, ignoring the rules separating the two realms, and his power is also formidable in the Heaven Realm.

Finally, after consuming all 19 Time Flower Fruits, most of the Crystallization of the Divine King was absorbed.

Huang Yi could feel that he had gained a lot of power, but he lost the specific concept—after reaching the pinnacle of power, any further increase becomes negligible.

In the next moment, with a flick of his palm, he took out the Book of Heroes.

"Brother Yi, are you going to the Heaven Realm?" Qin Shiyu asked curiously.

Huang Yi shook his head, "No, I want to check out Cell No. 2."
