Chapter 856: Chapter 406: Polar Star Association Branch, The Stars Demon’s Eyeball Heart_2

It is worth mentioning that several summoned creatures returned to their Poké Balls upon his death, yet the girls from the auction house dared not leave their cages after the illusion vanished, even though he had broken the locks...

[...]

[You enter the office of the "Star Favored," and the "Green Half-Dragon" stares at you in surprise. It points to the large painting and then at you, puzzled, asking why you’d come out when you had just gone in.]

[You reply expressionlessly, saying that it was your twin brother who went in just now...]

Lin Xun ignored the Half-Dragon Man, released a few summoned creatures, and then teleported back to the "Polar Star Association" branch.

[...]

[You return to the familiar room, searching carefully, but apart from that book, there appears to be no other items of value.]

[You open the door and walk outside...]

[The walls of the corridor outside the room are adorned with twinkling stars, very similar to the scenes you have seen in the "Chasing Star Corridor".]

[The corridor is empty, seemingly leading to a large hall at its end.]

[You walk forward, gradually approaching the hall...]

[From afar, you can see the giant statue standing in the center of the hall!]

[The statue is not humanoid, but a rotating elliptical galaxy adorned with countless tiny stars.]

[That is the "Bright Stars" idol, very familiar to you.]

[The hall is also connected to several other corridors and a staircase leading upwards; not far away, there is a reception desk.]

[Behind the desk stands a beautiful woman clad in a starry magic robe. She is about to greet you when she notices a figure hurriedly rushing down the stairs.]

[The person, seeing you here, is obviously startled and then immediately says, "You, yes, you, hurry up and follow her up, they are short-handed right now!"]

[The magic robe the person is wearing looks just like the standard issue for the "Star Favored". You, though of the same rank, obey instinctively without any discontent.]

[You know that she is an assistant to the "Star Realm Envoy," the highest-ranking leader you can currently meet in this branch.]

[Following the "assistant," you jog up the stairs until you reach the third floor.]

[The assistant, leading the way in front, tells you that once you enter the "Transplant Room" of the priest, do not look around or ask too many questions. Just do whatever you are told, understand?]

[You nod involuntarily...]

[The assistant leads you down the corridor to the innermost room...]

[She mutters an arcane incantation, and the doors swing open on their own.]

[A thick scent of blood assaults your senses, and you widen your eyes to see the vast room filled with many refined copper operating tables, upon which lie the bodies of various creatures.]

[Some of the bodies are large, some small, their surfaces covered with chitinous shells patterned like stars, bearing the distinct features of the "Stars" monsters.]

[Others have heads with curving horns, exuding a horrific and sinister presence even in death, belonging to a subterranean race known as "Abyss Demons".]

[You even spot several corpses of Half-Dragon Men of different skin colors...]

[Figures in starry magic robes bustle about the operating tables, dissecting the bodies for the needed tissues, and placing them on refined copper trays to the side...]

[At the highest platform in the deepest part of the room, there is a grotesquely twisted monster, resembling a Meat Mountain, its fat body covered with blotchy green scales. It waves its short, thick arms, directing everyone to dismember the bodies.]

[It barks viciously, "Operating table number 13, what are you trembling for? If you damage the Star Horn Rhinoceros Turtle’s eye, I will gouge out your eyes to use as synthesis material!"]

["Operating table number 21, you idiot, what it wants is the ’Abyss Magma Demon’s’ liver, not the kidney!"]

[Operating table number 5...]

[You catch sight of the "Up-Looking Starlight Priest of the Polar Star Association"!]

[It’s your first time seeing the "Up-Looking Starlight Priest of the Polar Star Association", and your knowledge increases by 7000! Current knowledge: 7000/40800]

"...So this monster is the Starlight Priest, seemingly an advanced version of the Star Priest."]

"Damn, could this creature be the high-level Wet Nurse I’ve been longing for?"]

Lin Xun tugged at the corner of his mouth, with a face full of black lines.

Although the Flesh Authority could change the appearance of the Shell, having such a disgusting Monster as his true form always left him feeling uncomfortable.

Wrong, growing into such a deformed figure, it’s still uncertain whether the possession will even be possible.

[The ’Starlight Priest’ suddenly saw you brought by the assistant and immediately asked with a hostile expression, "Why is it just you?"]

[The assistant beside him quickly replied, "Your Eminence, due to the urgency of time, we couldn’t find a more suitable person. This is the person in charge of the Second Capital ’Nottos’. His strength ranks among the best of the Star Favored, and he is the most suitable candidate at the moment..."]

[Upon hearing this, the ’Starlight Priest’s’ face didn’t get any better. It immediately turned to the ’assistant’ and lashed out with a mouthful of curses. The ’assistant’ seemed to have grown used to the vile language and didn’t argue.]

[After cursing a few times, the ’Starlight Priest’ finally cooled off and said to you, "What are you waiting for, hurry up over here..."]

[You quickly stepped forward, approaching the surgery table in front of the ’Starlight Priest’.]

[On the table lay a bloody heart, larger than that of a normal human, studded with several eyeballs that rotated.]

[You had just approached the table when all the eyes on the heart stared fixedly at you, making you feel extremely uncomfortable.]

[The entire heart was still pulsing, expanding and contracting, but its rhythm was slowing and its strength was weakening.]

[The eyes on the heart were visibly losing their light...]

[You’ve discovered ’Star Demons’ Eyeball Heart’ (special item)!]

[Star Demons’ Eyeball Heart’ (special item): After countless experiments, the Eyeball Heart, a perfect fusion of ’Spirits of Stars’ and ’Abyss Demon’ characteristics, was finally completed.]

[This tiny, fragile heart bears infinite possibilities and its emergence may signify a completely new pathway to godhood!]

[The effects of implanting this Eyeball Heart are unknown, please use with caution.]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

From the information in Chapter Four about the Multivision President’s plan, it was understood that creatures of the Stars and Abyss Demons likely originated from the same species.

It was only because the two species took different evolutionary paths, that they ended up so vastly different from each other.

"Judging by the description of the item, the Abyss Demon’s complement plan might be feasible. Perhaps by merging the two species, one could truly find another path to divinity."

"Tsch, although the Omniscient World is great at transplanting eyeballs to acquire Knowledge, their actual flesh alteration technology is severely lacking."

"In the area of biological fusion experiments, the Wet Nurse is the top expert... Having now inherited the Wet Nurse’s Flesh Authority, perhaps I could make some headway in this area?"

[The ’Starlight Priest’ asked if you had an unshakeable and devout faith in the ’Bright Stars’.]

[You nodded without hesitation.]

[It continued to ask if you would be willing to give your life for the ’Bright Stars’.]

[You responded loudly and without thought, "Willing"!]

[At last, the ’Star Priest’ showed a smile, loudly saying, "What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and take off your clothes, get on the table!"]

[Are you going to become an experimental subject for the ’Star Priest’ or will you immediately remove your disguise and kill everyone in the Transplant Room?]

Lin Xun decisively chose the former.

If the transplant failed, at worst it would be a waste of a little Soul Strength, but if it succeeded, there could be an unexpected gain.

[You quickly stripped off your clothes, lying naked on the surgery table...]

[The ’Star Realm Envoy’ glanced at your lower body and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. While picking up a syringe, it cursed, "Stupid fool, just taking off your shirt would have been fine, who told you to strip so cleanly."]

[It jabbed the needle into your arm, quickly injecting the liquid medication.]

[You felt a wave of drowsiness come over you, and in a haze, you seemed to catch snippets of the ’Star Priest’s’ words...]

[Your’s is quite large... but it will be his soon...]

[...]
