Chapter 917: Miracle

“I can feel Divine Power fluctuating nearby, but…”
“I’m very sure that Divine Power is fluctuating nearby!”
“Believe me…”
Li Yi fully believed in Aersith for the entire ten days, but he felt incredibly helpless from the result of the search.
He had been moving west the entire time without stop. Ten days had pa.s.sed, and they had yet to find the place where the Divine Power resided.
Aersith’s senses did not seem to be that accurate.
On the tenth day, Aersith finally told Li Yi the truth as she looked at his skeptical gaze.
“I’ve been using the Demonic Tribe’s Divine Equipment to guide me all this while. I… I don’t actually know the exact location…”
Li Yi was utterly speechless.
He had wasted ten full days just like that.
Freya, who was underneath his crotch, looked extremely tired. She had gone out to search for treasure five times every day for the past ten days. Although she had found a lot of amazing goods, the Death G.o.d’s lost item which the Death G.o.d hinted at had yet to be found.
He looked at the time and there were only five hours left before the quest expired.
Li Yi’s level would drop by ten if he could not finish the quest in time!
“Freya, search for some treasure one last time!”
Li Yi patted Freya’s hip as he ordered her for the very last time.
Freya then slowly swam deep down into the abyss…
Aersith then screamed out loud, “I can feel it… The Divine Power is increasing!”
Li Yi waved at Aersith. “Go look for it yourself.”
“I really felt a strong fluctuation of Divine Power. Listen to it for yourself. Beep beep. Beep beep. Isn’t this it?”
Li Yi rolled his eyes and yawned as he stretched all four of his limbs.
For the past ten days, he had heard countless times of Aersith’s senses. Now, all he could put his faith in was his little mermaid that would actually produce something. As for Aersith, he had completely lost faith in her.
Aersith had no choice but swim to the west alone since Li Yi did not believe her.
Ding!
“I’ve found the secret to the fluctuation of Divine Power. Come quickly!”
Li Yi received Aersith’s message as he was yawning.
Li Yi was stunned as he immediately determined the direction and swam there.
Since he could not summon two mounts simultaneously and Freya was still hunting for treasure, he had no choice but to swim forward himself.
Li Yi found Aersith after some ten minutes. She was currently engaged in battle with a Vagabond player.
The Vagabond player was not tall, and he did not mask himself, revealing an innocent face. He had a crew cut and his name was above his head.
He was Ghostly Walker!
What could the Emperor of the Continent in his past life be doing here?
Li Yi was incredibly curious.
“The Demonic Tribe’s Divine Equipment tells me that he’s the source of the Divine Power!”
“Nihilistic Territory!”
Aersith huffed as she released a light purple territory, attempting to engulf Ghostly Walker.
“Thud thud…”
Two vortices appeared underneath Ghostly Walker’s feet as he pushed himself upward, successfully evading Aersith’s territory.
Li Yi squinted as he watched everything closely.
He did not expect Ghostly Walker to appear in this area.
To top it off, he did not expect Ghostly Walker was the source of the Divine Power too.
Although Li Yi was not sure what Demonic Tribe’s Divine Equipment Aersith was using, he could tell based on her performance that it was an incredibly powerful Divine Equipment.
She was able to resurrect after death, protect against, and sense Divine Power. Aren’t those abilities amazing?
Ghostly Walker was slightly shocked when he saw Li Yi. He scoffed as he clapped his hands and poof. A cloud of black smoke exploded and there was not a trace of him by the time it dissipated.
He ran away!
Aersith sounded confused. “The Divine Power has disappeared…” After a while, she shook her head again. “No, it’s still here. It’s… just not as strong as before.”
There were two sources of Divine Power with different strengths?
Li Yi questioned, “Aersith, where is the weaker Divine Power fluctuating?”
Aersith pointed. “It’s from the west!”
Li Yi’s expression delayed when he heard her.
If the stronger Divine Power originated from Ghostly Walker, then there was a high possibility that the weaker Divine Power was actually a remnant of the Evil G.o.d’s power.
He was probably right to keep swimming west and the search for the past ten days was not a big deal. As for encountering Ghostly Walker, it was probably just a coincidence…
Although the Endless Sea was filled with valuable treasure, the journey was far and the requirement to enter this map was very strict. Hence, very little players actually were willing to scout around here.
This map had always been cold and deserted. It was a rare occasion for players to even appear here.
The reason Ghostly Walker was here was probably because of a quest.
Since he had Divine Equipment on him, he would have probably become a demiG.o.d by now if he were lucky.
A demiG.o.d!
That was it!
Li Yi was excited as he said, “Aersith, try sensing if I have any Divine Power on me.”
“You?”
Aersith nodded and closed her eyes as she started sensing him.
“A weak and close to non-existent Divine Power comes from the west… I don’t sense any Divine Power, but your Territory Power is rather good. In fact, it’s incredibly overwhelming…”
Aersith’s words had caught Li Yi’s attention.
Since the Death G.o.d had said that he was already a demiG.o.d, but he had yet to find a way to use Divine Power. Now, he was able to determine from Aersith that there was no Divine Power emitting from him. How could this not frustrate him?
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Master! Master!”
Freya swam back and tried to locate Li Yi through her call.
Li Yi responded, and Freya found him briefly.
She had a black scroll in her mouth and Li Yi was ecstatic when he took it.
It was the Dark King Summoning Scroll!
A G.o.d-tiered Summoning Scroll. Furthermore, it was the dark series which was rarer than of the light. Li Yi had never seen one of these before, even in his past life.
“That’s a good item. Good job~”
Freya was so happy that she swam above Li Yi a few rounds after receiving the praise.
Aersith was shocked. “The Dark G.o.d Summoning Scroll1. Wasn’t this thing destroyed thousands of years ago by the G.o.ds?”
“Destroyed by the G.o.ds? Where did this come from then…”
The lightbulb in Li Yi’s brain popped as he held onto Freya who was circling around on her own and asked, “Where did you find this scroll?”
Freya pointed to a direction. It was the east instead of the west.
Li Yi threw an Engineered Cable at Aersith as he pressed onto Freya and mounted her. “Go. Bring us there.”
Freya rushed as fast as she could, and it took her half an hour to arrive at the digging site of the scroll.
Hundreds of small fishes gathered together and below them was a hole.
When Freya was searching for treasure, she would summon little fish to a.s.sist her. The hole at the bottom of the sea was the work of these little fishes.
“Try and sense what’s over there, Aersith.” Li Yi’s tone was starting to fill with excitement.
There were only three hours left before the quest ended. How could he not be anxious?
“The Divine Power has increased but the direction is still in the west.”
Aersith pointed to the west once more.
Li Yi took out an Engineered Shovel and started digging at the bottom of the sea as quickly as possible.
The sea became muddy as the little fishes surrounding Freya dispersed out of shock.
Li Yi could not care less as he started digging at the bottom of the sea with all the strength he had.
The Dark G.o.d Summoning Scroll had been wiped off the planet thousands of years ago. This was a good hint as it suggested that players were not able to obtain the scroll through normal means.
There was a very low chance that one could find such a scroll that was buried deep down the sea.
The Endless Sea was where the Ruler of G.o.ds fought his final battle against the Evil G.o.d. Everything checked out since the Dark G.o.d Summoning Scroll could be found here. Naturally, there was a possibility that where the Evil G.o.d rested would have scrolls laying around.
“The Divine Power is obviously coming from the west, why are you…” Aersith could not understand Li Yi’s behavior at all.
“You guys, go help him. He won’t harm you.”
Freya summoned the little fishes that had run away to help Li Yi.
While the strength of a little fish was limited, what about having thousands of them? The digging speed of tens of thousands of fishes was dozens of times faster than Li Yi’s digging speed.
The area of the muddy water expanded greatly as Aersith and Freya were forced to back away. Li Yi was the only one inside it as he kept spamming the Engineered Shovel.
The punishment of decreasing ten levels was simply too harsh. Now that the G.o.d Wars were going on, it would definitely affect his final ranking if his level was unfortunately reduced.
“Click!”
Li Yi’s Engineered Shovel hit onto something hard. He could not see it clearly as the seawater was simply too muddy. Hence, he played by ear as he subconsciously grabbed hold of it.
The item was cold, thick, and long…
Li Yi swam out of the muddy water and inspected it closer.
What was in his hand was a pitch-black staff with two moon-like shapes at the end. The handle was at the center and a chain of black-lighted stars could be seen when it was gently shaken…
[h.e.l.l G.o.d’s Staff. Divine Weapon. Quest Item. Attributes could not be seen.]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on fulfilling the Death G.o.d’s request!]
‘Is this what Death G.o.d wants me to find?’
Li Yi was shocked and happy at the same time.
“So, this is what master likes. I… I’ve seen it a lot of times, but I didn’t take it back to you.”
Freya at the side bit her lips as she looked embarra.s.sed.
Li Yi was speechless…
He was the one who had ordered Freya to stop searching for a weapon. Although the h.e.l.l G.o.d’s Staff was a quest item, it was still technically a weapon.
Aersith came over as well. “Is this the h.e.l.l G.o.d’s weapon? Why can’t I feel any Divine Power flowing through it?”
“It’s been sealed, you idiot.”
“Sealed?”
Li Yi nodded as he put the h.e.l.l G.o.d’s Staff into his inventory.
Li Yi was no longer stressed out as he finished the quest in time. As for the Evil G.o.d’s clue, he did not really care if he was able to find it.
Li Yi stopped digging as he looked at Freya ordering tens of thousands of little fishes to dig in.
The little fishes digging speed was not slow and it was much faster than him doing it himself.
Tens of thousands of little fishes took turns to bring the dirt away. The muddy water soon became clear away and a heptagram could be vaguely seen at the bottom of the sea.
“That’s… that’s the clue left behind by the Evil G.o.d!”
…
