Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 311 - 308: Hand Over the Holy Artifact, or... Die?

Chapter 311: Chapter 308: Hand Over the Holy Artifact, or... Die?

Holy Artifact Platform.

With a flash of light, Bai Pu’s figure appeared on the platform.

His luck wasn’t too bad; in the second room, he acquired a High Sequence Rune, precisely number 36, completing one of his Rune Languages: Doomsday!

Bai Pu drank an Alchemy Potion, rested for a while, and once he had mostly recovered, he collected the Rune and assembled the "Doomsday" Rune Language, which transported him to the Holy Artifact Platform.

The anticipated trap did not appear on the Holy Artifact Platform.

This platform was like an observation deck made purely of transparent glass, with soft faint light underfoot as if an invisible floor supported his feet.

Looking up, the soft faint light formed a large protective shield, allowing a faint glimpse of the countless stars in the Original Sin World.

At this moment on the Holy Artifact Platform, only the last of the seven light clusters remained, within which two long rod-like objects were faintly visible.

This twin-rod-shaped Holy Artifact should be the second highest-ranked in quality among the Seven Holy Artifacts.

The evidence was the "Doomsday" Rune Language needed to unseal it, which required the second-highest Rune number among the Seven Runes — number 36!

The only one higher than it was the final Rune Language "World," requiring the highest Rune number of 38.

Beside the Holy Artifact Platform, a light screen formed by faint light displayed in order the Spirit Realm codes of those who obtained the Holy Artifacts, along with the names of the Rune Languages.

First place, Rosen, Rune Language "World."

Second place, "Redeemer" Nur, Rune Language "Piety."

Third place, Yemang, Rune Language "Deception."

Fourth place, Metarica, Rune Language "Endless Power."

Fifth place, Maria Eleonora. (Qin’s real name), Rune Language "Glory."

Sixth place, Blood Spider, Rune Language "Steel."

Each Rune Language corresponds to a Holy Artifact, and High Sequence Runes will not appear again.

Xisha Divine Envoy appeared voluntarily: "See, there’s no danger on the Holy Artifact Platform, right?"

Bai Pu shook his head: "Indeed, the danger does not come from the Lost City itself. The Lost City should be a very legitimate trial ground! Obtaining a Rune Language allows you to get a Holy Artifact. The danger should occur after acquiring the Holy Artifact!"

Bai Pu strode forward, took out the "Doomsday" Rune Language, and pressed it against the light cluster of the Holy Artifact!

In an instant, the light cluster of the Holy Artifact was unsealed, revealing its true form. Bai Pu discovered it was two sections of a connectable spear shaft, with a dark red blood groove at the tip end.

After acquiring it, the item only displayed as:

[Holy Artifact: ???]

Obviously, it could not be utilized.

At the moment Bai Pu touched the Holy Artifact, the sigh of the Gilder suddenly resonated in his ears.

The gilded brand on Bai Pu’s forehead abruptly became scorching hot! As he closed his eyes and perceived it, he discovered the brand on his forehead had grown thorny strips, turning into a mark that seemed to be burned by flames.

A sensation of weightlessness quickly surged up, and Bai Pu found the surrounding space disconnected from him.

Originally, he could return to the real world at any time, but now he couldn’t; it was indicating he was being transported!

...

Bai Pu felt like he entered a stagnated space.

He opened his eyes and found the surroundings dim, like an abandoned and ruined plaza, with thick thorns coiling and growing, extending all the way to the dome of the plaza to weave into a massive thorn cage.

Bai Pu looked around, seeing figures suspended in the air.

Yemang, Metarica, Qin, Blood Spider, all were here.

Qin showed a slightly helpless but happy smile, softly saying, "You came anyway, Dior. Even if I die here, I have no regrets."

"Where is this place?" Bai Pu called for the Xisha Divine Envoy.

The Xisha Divine Envoy only transmitted three words: "Hold on!"

At that moment, an old, slightly aged voice rumbled from the other side:

"Finally, the last Holy Artifact has also arrived at this sacred sanctuary of suffering. Although a mouse sneaked in and stole one Holy Artifact, the other six have been entrusted to my lord, which finally accounts for some achievement."

Bai Pu looked up.

On the opposite side, an old man in a slightly small, withered, black robe also floated in mid-air, his figure in a state of suspension.

Gilder!

Bai Pu took a deep breath.

This was an Advanced Lord; even if Bai Pu had comprehended two Mystical Arts, he absolutely couldn’t be the opponent of an Advanced Lord, the difference in power was too vast, and Mystical Arts couldn’t bridge it. Moreover, an Advanced Lord likely also possessed Mystical Art abilities.

Gilder’s eyes slowly swept over everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have brought you here using the ’Thorn Holy Mark’ on your bodies, to the Thorn Suffering Sanctuary. This is the sacred ground where the great Our Lady of Thorns purges Original Sin, with Lady Holy Mother having already sealed the sanctuary space, you cannot escape using divine power.

"Now, please give me an answer: will you surrender the Holy Artifacts and join the Thorn Church, or... die?"

A distressing silence ensued.

Bai Pu looked at Qin: "I summoned you, you shouldn’t have the Thorn Holy Mark. Why were you also transported here?"

Blood Spider’s face showed an apology.

Originally, Qin didn’t need to be transported here, but after Blood Spider unsealed the Holy Artifact, the Thorn Holy Mark appeared, and she was very panicked when she was forcibly transported, pulling Qin along in the process.

Qin realized something was wrong, instinctively grabbing her, and as a result, they were both transported here together.

Upon hearing Blood Spider’s explanation, Bai Pu finally understood.

This Thorn Suffering Sanctuary is an independent space, under the control of Our Lady of Thorns.

Here, Spirit Realm transport is ineffective.

As a Source Blood Apostle, when Bai Pu summoned Qin, it had a higher priority than Spirit Realm transport, and also higher than the priority of Our Lady of Thorns’ control over space, allowing cross-dimensional summoning.

But once Bai Pu stopped supplying energy, Qin lost the energy maintaining her, and her automatic return transport to the [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutation] world belonged to normal Spirit Realm transport, no longer bearing the priority of Source Blood Apostle summoning.

This is why Qin was retained in this space.

Seeing no one responded, a trace of coldness flashed in Gilder’s eyes, and with a hoarse voice, he said:

"Very well, it seems you have chosen the second path. Please, great Holy Mother, lift the space restraint of the sanctuary, so I may present these traitors’ heads to my lord — and, of course, the precious Holy Artifacts!"

The thorn-entwined dome, with the thicket of thorns twisting autonomously, transformed into a humanoid face, a buzzing voice arose:

"Gilder, once the space restraint is lifted, these people will have the ability to leave our world! I will do my best to disrupt the surrounding space and create a turbulent flow, but this method is not lasting. You have only ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes is enough for me to kill them ten times!"

Gilder confidently said.
