Chapter 844: Chapter 401: The Wet Nurse of the Omniscient World, Star Chantor_2

[It had fought its way in but hadn’t seen that insider, and must have concluded that chances were slim for any good outcome...]

[Without much talk, it raised the short wand in its hand; the ’Twilight of the Stars’ quickly expanded around it, enveloping you as well.]

[Specks of starlight converged under your feet, making you feel light as if you were floating off the ground...]

[Starlight carried you swiftly, with the ’Star Chanter’ flying beside you. Whenever a guard came to block your path, it would lift its magic wand and swiftly kill them with astral magic.]

[...]

[Finally, you broke through the encirclement and saw the open prison gate not far away...]

[Near dawn, the light of breaking day should have clarified everything, but the persistent fog blocked your view, preventing you from seeing anything outside.]

[Compared to Sofia’s ’Knowledge Barrier,’ the fog in Imperial Capital Saint Etienne was even denser!]

[Just as you reached the prison gate, a Refined Copper carriage burst through the thick fog and approached.]

[The ’Star Chanter,’ without a word, pulled you quickly onto the enclosed carriage...]

[As the carriage door shut, steam burst forth from the Refined Copper horses’ nostrils, and the carriage surged forward into a direction within the fog...]

[The shock absorption inside the carriage was excellent, leaving you barely able to feel the bumps.]

[The ’Star Chanter’ next to you though, did not relax; it raised its wand toward you, starlight gathering at the tip, ready to unleash...]

[A sense of danger instantly overwhelmed you, and you were painfully aware that the ’Star Priest’s’ shell could not withstand a magical attack.]

[Will you switch shells immediately?]

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow and immediately pressed ’No’.]

This ’Star Chanter’ had gone through great pains to rescue him; it surely wouldn’t have saved him from the prison because it disfavored its feng shui just to kill him outside.

If it had truly wanted to kill him, it could have done so back in the prison.

[The astral magic at the tip of the wand gathered, yet it didn’t release its formidable power. The ’Star Chanter’ spoke indifferently, its threat apparent in its tone...]

[Tell me the locations of the Stars maps you know, without resistance. Even if you weren’t bound by the ’Anti-magic Character,’ you still couldn’t match it.]

[If you’re smart, speak quickly and spare it the effort of tormenting you...]

Stars maps... Lin Xun still had two incomplete Stars maps in his pocket, which when pieced together could reveal the hidden coordinates of a particular Star God.]

At the end of Chapter four, reminded by the ’Hermit Progenitor,’ he learned that the ’Knowledge god servant’ was a despicable servant trying to usurp the authority of the Main God.]

If he had assembled the Stars maps then, he would have been summoned by the god servant and entered the Temple of Knowledge...

Lin Xun, having prioritized survival back then, had decisively ended the Chapter.]

Now... well, now was not yet the time to meet with the Knowledge god servant.]

This ’Star Chanter’ bringing up the Stars maps hinted that it was convinced the ’Star Priest’ knew the location of a certain Stars map.]

Through the memories of the prisoner in the neighboring cell, one could infer that the Star Chanter was likely acting on orders from that ’Executor’.

Unfortunately, the real ’Star Priest’ had gone mad before his death; Lin Xun did not know where that Stars map was hidden.]

[Empty-headed Apostle, how will you respond?]

[1. Kneel and beg for mercy, fabricating a set of coordinates to tell the ’Star Chanter’ where it desires to look.]

[2. Firm in defiance, tell the ’Star Chanter’ that if it kneels and calls you ’Father’ respectfully, you might be in a good enough mood to reveal the location.]

[3. Take out the half Stars map from your inventory and offer it to the ’Star Chanter’ for free, as a token of gratitude for helping you escape.]

Lin Xun grinned. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Indulging in the perverse pleasure of the Underworld Game, he selected the second option.]

[With arms crossed, you ignored the destructive starlight gathering at the front of the wand and disdainfully told the ’Star Chanter’ to call out ’respected Father’ twice with true sincerity, or else forget about learning the whereabouts of the Stars map.]

[Enraged, the ’Star Chanter’ raised the wand in its hand...]

Having just made a fierce declaration, Lin Xun swiftly switched shells with rapid hand movements.]

[You have inhabited the shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[The ’Sword of the Bloody King’ sliced through the defensive ’Twilight of the Stars’ before the starlight could concentrate, breaking that protective layer!]

[As the ’Twilight of the Stars’ shattered, sprinkling twinkling starlight...]

[The blade did not stop there, instead carrying forward to sever the wand and slashing towards the neck of the ’Star Chanter’!]

[Under the influence of the Flesh Authority, your control over the shell was nearly perfected; wielding the massive sword as easily as if it were your own limb, the bloody blade paused just a hair’s breadth from the skin of its neck—perfectly still.]

[The ’Star Chanter,’ face full of shock, couldn’t help but scream.]

[It only saw you suddenly change your appearance, crimson bloodlight erupted, and the ’Twilight of the Stars’ it prided itself on disintegrated, with the precious wand slashed in two as well.]

[The ruthless and cold murderous intent emanating from the sword at its throat left the ’Star Chanter’ no doubt that any slight movement would result in being cleaved in two, just like that wand.]

[Struggling with its fear, it clenched its teeth and spoke, what exactly is your purpose in impersonating the ’Star Priest’? Where did the original ’Star Priest’ go?]
