Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 304 - 301: Bonnie the Evolution Blade

"The characteristic of top-grade Mystical Arts lies in directly addressing the properties of all things, aligning with the trajectories of the laws. For example, annihilation, combustion, dissolution, freezing, etc., all belong to top-grade Mystical Arts. Judging by your recent change in aura, you must have comprehended the ’Mountain Shattering’ Mystical Arts, right? This is also a kind of top-grade Mystical Arts."

Bai Pu noticed that Xisha Divine Envoy’s attitude towards him had become much more patient and attentive.

The initial superior, almost charitable demeanor was completely gone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Pu asked: "I just received a prompt that my Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts is currently at the ’Beginner’ level. Are there different levels for Mystical Arts?"

"Of course, depending on your comprehension of the Mystical Arts, there are three levels: Beginner, Advanced, and Mastery.

"At the Beginner level, Mystical Arts enhance ordinary attacks, already with a strong power boost, and top-grade Mystical Arts come with some special effects!

"As your comprehension of Mystical Arts progresses to the Advanced level, the power boost will further increase! Moreover, you can combine it with your combat skills to realize even more powerful Mystical Arts skills!"

Bai Pu listened, filled with anticipation.

He recalled and confirmed that Border Town Wanderer and Chen Ge must have advanced their understanding of Mystical Arts to the Advanced level, thereby acquiring Mystical Arts skills.

"Now that you have comprehended Mystical Arts, your combat power has greatly increased. Hurry up and collect Rune Characters to seize the Holy Artifact?"

Prompted Xisha Divine Envoy, "Don’t forget, your main quest is not yet complete. To leave this world, you’ll still need the divine power I have stored!"

Bai Pu smiled and shook his head: "No, my main quest is already complete."

As he spoke, Bai Pu displayed several lines of notification from the Spirit Realm Will.

[Your slave ’Evolution Blade’ Bonnie has actively attacked the Thorn Church in Miulan City! Your reputation in the Thorn Church has decreased by 1000 points, currently at: Hostile. This reputation level will be officially effective once the upper echelons of the Thorn Church learn about the master-servant relationship between you and Bonnie.]

Subsequently, there was a series of changes in favorability, with Bishop Yajino, Father Arius, and others significantly dropping to hostile levels against Bai Pu, though it remains inactive until they receive the relevant intelligence confirming Bai Pu and Bonnie’s master-servant relationship.

Bai Pu wasn’t concerned about this, as he never planned to stay long in the twisted camp of the Thorn Church.

What truly caught his attention was the line of prompt information below.

[Your slave ’Evolution Blade’ Bonnie has already killed 1 Thorn Priest, 3 Thorn Saint Warriors, and 10 Thorn Fanatics. Main Quest Step 1: Cut Through Thorns has been completed.]

[You have received a reward: 10,000 Spiritual Points.]

[Within the remaining 2 days, 15 hours, and 37 minutes, you can freely explore the Original Sin World and return at any time.]

Bai Pu displayed these two lines of text, and Xisha Divine Envoy’s face instantly darkened.

Her means of manipulating Bai Pu was nothing more than the inability for Bai Pu to complete the main quest, thus needing her divine power to return to reality, giving her the chance to urge Bai Pu to do things properly.

But now that Bai Pu has completed the main quest and can return at any time, she realizes she has lost her leverage over him.

"Do you intend to renege?" Xisha Divine Envoy said.

"No, I fully respect the principle of exchange, but I don’t like being pushed around by you. I have my own pace."

Bai Pu calmly said, "This Lost City itself is a rare opportunity. I want to explore as many rooms as possible, immerse myself in the mysterious energy here, and strive to enhance my strength!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Xisha Divine Envoy fell silent. In fact, even following Bai Pu’s pace, there was a high probability of collecting the Rune Language and ultimately acquiring a Holy Artifact.

However, Divine Envoy had been accustomed to dominating voters. In their view, voters should prioritize the needs of the gods, even at the cost of their own interests.

This is the difference between "domination" and "cooperation."

Bai Pu is not a voter now, not even a preparatory voter; he only accepts mutual cooperation, prioritizing Bai Pu’s own interests in any situation, and will aid the Divine Envoy only when it does not affect his own interests.

"What if, due to your delay, the Holy Artifact is taken by others?" Xisha Divine Envoy asked.

"Firstly, by my prediction, High Sequence Rune Characters are not something easily accessible to many, and not everyone has the capability to obtain them. On this point, I believe the Divine Envoy is much clearer!" Bai Pu stated.

Xisha Divine Envoy fell silent; she indeed knows more about this Lost City. The Rune Characters around the 30 mark would at least require an Energy Level 4 room to potentially drop them!

And for an Energy Level 4 room, few preparatory voters could pass through safely.

Bai Pu continued, "Secondly, in my agreement with the Divine Envoy, there was no guarantee of obtaining a Holy Artifact. If I don’t obtain one this time, I will, within my capabilities, do one more thing for the Divine Envoy to compensate for that Golden Artifact! This was also part of the agreement, which I believe the Divine Envoy hasn’t forgotten about."

Xisha Divine Envoy had no means to deal with Bai Pu, so she could only huff and vanish into the air.

Bai Pu continued into the next room.

And so, from one room to another, Bai Pu moved incessantly, repeating the cycle of casting skills to kill monsters, obtaining mysterious energy immersion, enhancing Combat Specialization and Skills, and restoring stamina and energy.

Most rooms did not drop Rune Characters, which Bai Pu was not concerned about. For him, the Rune Characters were just a collateral gain while improving his specialization through cultivation.

Gradually, the mysterious energy in the second-layer rooms contributed less and less to Bai Pu’s strength enhancement.

After a brief rest, Bai Pu entered the Energy Level 3 third-layer area.

"Hmm?"

Upon entering this room, Bai Pu noticed a battle was underway.

A Thorn Recruit with a cross scar on his face was battling a two-headed ogre.

Evidently, the stone monument monster within this Energy Level 3.4 room was just this two-headed ogre.

The two-headed ogre’s strength had clearly reached Level 7 Warrior! The power of the massive club it wielded was terrifying, and the Thorn Recruit couldn’t dare to take it head-on, relying solely on agility to dodge.

Upon noticing Bai Pu’s arrival, the cross-scarred Thorn Recruit quickly shouted, "Come help me! Without killing it, you can’t leave either!"

In the rooms of the Lost City, the Teleportation Light Gate follows two rules.

Firstly, when the stone monument hasn’t been activated, the portals ahead, and to both sides are hidden, and one can only return the way they came.

Secondly, when the stone monument is activated and the mysterious energy manifests into a monster, all portals are rendered hidden and unusable, including the one for returning!

This cross-scarred recruit is likely harboring a hidden resentment towards Bai Pu, as Bai Pu has backstabbed the Thorn Church. However, the Thorn Recruit isn’t aware of this information yet, and his distaste for Bai Pu is an instinctive feeling, not yet expressed.

Moreover, the Thorn Recruit is in a critical situation, which is why he is inviting Bai Pu to cooperate.

If Bai Pu attempts to associate with him or cooperate, the Thorn Recruit certainly won’t provide Bai Pu any advantage, and won’t agree to team up with Bai Pu afterward.

This is the consequence of betraying a faction.
