Chapter 747 - 430: Subspace Travels
When Xue Dili saw this item, he was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the [Flowing Light Sand] embedded in the center of his soul, as well as the [Cursed Blood] and [Golden Chalice] inherited from the Great Sage...
This [Twisted Chalice] alone is equivalent to the combination of Xue Dili’s three Treasures, and even stronger. Xue Dili felt that if Cursed Blood evolved to its ultimate form, it would be this Twisted Chalice.
The primary function of this chalice is similar to that of Cursed Blood, but it not only absorbs all pain and suffering, it can even absorb the pollution of the Void.
Xue Dili suddenly realized why Senior Hassan handed this thing over to him.
"You guessed it, didn’t you? I absorbed all of their Void pollution to the minimum. The curse of the Void cannot be eradicated, but as long as I absorb it, they can maintain this way of life and won’t be devoured by the Void before dying of old age," Senior Hassan calmly said.
"And for your peace of mind, there’s currently no Void pollution on this item, because it’s all in me," Hassan extended his hand, the tangible Void pollution roared on his hand, but he forcibly suppressed it back into his body.
Xue Dili said nothing more, for Hassan at this moment was more like a Void monster with wisdom than a human. He had been thoroughly permeated by the Void, and if he relaxed his mind even a bit, that Void monster would fully emerge.
A true, humanoid catastrophe...
A wise, humanoid Void monster...
In comparison, the Void monster within Xue Dili that just eats and sleeps appears so docile.
As for the remaining two Treasures, Xue Dili picked them up to take another look.
[Thousand Form Mask (EX Level): Can mimic any Treasure, weapon, or even item you desire, and possess the effects you want. The cost has been paid by another.]
[Dream Windmill (S Level): A soul defense item that can protect you against any soul attack and pollution from ordinary Apostle Levels.
Cost: Carrying it will always keep you in a good mood, and you will never forget your childhood dreams.]
Three Treasures, two of which are specifically to counter the influence of the Void, particularly the chalice and this windmill, they specifically stated their effect was against Void pollution.
Yet even so, Senior Hassan inevitably moved towards the Abyss of the Void.
This is the legacy he left to Xue Dili, every piece of this legacy is strength Xue Dili badly needed, but at the same time, it’s also a commitment of responsibility, inheriting this legacy also means inheriting the latter half of the lives of countless people polluted by the Void.
But as Hassan said, if he really wants to kill all the Apostles, then no power can be given up, and now, as long as he inherits this power, he could even fight the true Apostles head-on without consuming fruit, rather than relying solely on Void monsters and traps to gain advantage.
And the price is merely to help take care of those fellow sufferers of Void’s torment.
"Then, the contract is formed..." Xue Dili finally, slowly closed his eyes, accepting the legacy of this universe’s supreme being.
...
The next day, at the headquarters of the Fifth Squad of the Interstellar Corps, in the conference hall.
This day was a gathering in which only elites of the Interstellar Corps could participate, requiring Quasi-Tier Five and above to attend. Xue Dili didn’t even see the young general and Senior Olivia, two familiar faces, but rather a nun had come.
It’s said the young general transitioned to a desk job, now specializing in compiling and summarizing the work reports uploaded by the planet investigators, Senior Olivia is supposedly still on vacation and doesn’t need to attend this meeting either.
Today is the day Senior Hassan collaborates with the Mimic Venerable King to explore Subspace.
People have always harbored indescribable fantasies about Subspace.
Some think Subspace is colorful and dazzling, a term for "alternate space," perhaps home to magical creatures living in Subspace that don’t have to adhere to the laws of the Venerable King, possibly looking nothing like the aesthetics of the real cosmos, fantastical and gorgeous.
Some believe Subspace is a shattered cosmos, mirroring what another universe looks like once it’s broken.
Others believe Subspace holds unparalleled power, after all, frontier technology of the Interstellar Corps relies on subspaces layers to achieve breakthroughs, even now, the entire cosmos’s utilization of Subspace is merely scratching the surface, like merely licking the apple’s skin.
Now, Hassan and the Mimic Venerable King have joined forces to explore the depths and limits of Subspace.
A little black man exuding an ominous aura appeared center-stage, and at this moment, he spoke in a calm tone: "Can you receive the signal?"
"Yes," seemingly said the camera.
If Xue Dili were here, he would discover this camera is no other than the Evil Eye Tyrant of the former Tita Civilization, and now it serves actively as Mimic Venerable King’s eyes around the place.
Though not a complete Evil Eye, Mimic Venerable King went to great lengths, immensely valuing this exploration.
If something goes awry, this Evil Eye, so hard to recover, would be ruined, and Mimic Venerable King himself is enduring an incredibly costly sacrifice.
"Then let’s begin," Senior Hassan’s words were tranquil. He had long since lost all emotions and sensations, hardly even knowing how much memory he retained. The Void monster is an utter gluttonous demon, leaving nothing behind, even your memories and emotions.
