Chapter 956: Chapter 447: The Authority of the Abyss and the Authority of the Stars, The Visit of the Polar Star Association_2

[Atop the altar, the grey-white withered colossal ovum-shaped flesh that originally lay there was the ’Abyssal Egg’ that nurtured your birth.]

[After giving ’birth’ to you, the ’Abyssal Egg’ exhausted its strength, turning into a lump of useless flesh, but at some unknown time, it regained its vigorous appearance.]

[You recall, when you returned to the Sacrificial Ground, the ’Abyssal Egg’ did not show such an anomaly...]

[It must have been when you were blessed with the power of the Abyss that it restored to this state...]

[A myriad of realizations rose in your heart, perhaps the benefits promised by the Abyss for seducing you are hidden within the ’Abyssal Egg’ at this very moment...]

[You immediately approached the altar and stood before the ’Abyssal Egg’...]

[On the surface of the massive ovum-shaped flesh lay a tightly shut fissure that was still writhing, reminiscent of an indescribable entity.]

[Would you like to enter the ’Abyssal Egg,’ returning to the place of your birth?]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, ignoring the terrible descriptions of the Underworld Game, and pressed the ’Yes’ option.

[You moved forward and struggled to pry open the fissure, ignoring the pungent, fishy smell as you wriggled inside...]

[Using hands and feet, you squirmed further into the ’Abyssal Egg,’ returning to the spot where you were originally teleported...]

[Darkness surrounded you; reaching out, you touched a sticky object, surrounded by countless blood-vessel-like tissues that connected to the inner walls of the ’Abyssal Egg,’ continuously drawing unknown nutrients...]

[With a fierce tug, you pulled the object, severing many blood-vessel-like tissues, and clutched it in your hand...]

[You have obtained the ’Demon Progenitor’ (special item)!]

[’Demon Progenitor’ (special item): The ’Abyssal Egg’ is formed by the sacrificial congregation of innumerable demons’ blood and flesh, amalgamating the vitality of millions of lives. Its original purpose was to nurture the ’Children of the Abyss.’]

[Yet, due to a series of accidents, the ’Abyssal Egg’ failed to fulfill its mission... Now, under the influence of the Abyss, it has once again nurtured something as momentous as a Child of the Abyss.]

[This item contains a small part of the ’Authority of the Abyss’; after using it, you will be able to temporarily wield this small part of the ’Authority of the Abyss’.]

[Once the item’s duration comes to an end, the temporary ’Authority of the Abyss’ you controlled, along with the item itself, will disappear.]

Lin Xun didn’t know whether to call the Abyss generous or stingy.

The Abyss freely bestowed upon him the ’Authority of the Abyss,’ yet this gift was a single-use consumable, and according to the item’s description, it contained only a fragment of the full ’Authority of the Abyss.’]

As for how small this portion was and the specific functions of the Abyssal Authority, that was entirely unknown.]

[As you obtained the ’Demon Progenitor,’ the Abyssal Egg that enshrouded you seemed to have fulfilled its duty, quickly withering and decaying once again.]

[And you were expelled from within the ’Abyssal Egg’...]

[Looking around, the Sacrificial Ground was silent, no different from when you had returned before.] 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Now that I have the Authority of the Abyss, where is the promised Authority of the Stars?"

Although the Abyssal Authority contained within this ’Demon Progenitor’ appeared to be in limited supply, it should still possess a certain significance; if used properly, it could potentially be a powerful weapon.]

[...]

[Just as you were about to use the Summoning Horn, you saw the ’Demon Shaman’ rush into the Sacrificial Ground in a flurry...]

[It immediately said to you, oh noble Child of the Abyss, it did not intend to disturb your contemplation of the Demon Clan’s revival plan, but a situation has arisen that requires your presence...]

[You couldn’t help but be surprised and gestured for the ’Demon Shaman’ to continue.]

[It quickly stated that a group of humans had arrived at the Abyss... Don’t misunderstand, they are not Scholars but humans who once worshipped the Omniscient Evil God and have now turned a new leaf and embraced the ’Stars’.]

[The leader self-identifies as an ’Executor’ from the Polar Star Association, seeking to negotiate a secret plan with the Demon Clan.]

[If you had not been born yet, it would naturally negotiate with the ’Executor’, but now... matters of the Demon Clan should be entirely presided over by you.]

Lin Xunxin was shocked; it was the Executor from the Polar Star Association who had come!

Calculating the time, some days had passed since the Polar Star Association’s exploration of the Abyss, where they discovered the live demon sacrificial event.

The various ’Star Realm Envoys’ and ’Star Spirit Envoys’ from the subdivision should’ve already arrived at the Polar Star Association headquarters to report the matter to the ’Executors.’

Now, with the Polar Star Association descending into the Abyss again, their timing was comparatively late.

"I’ve had to use an identity authentication item like the ’Abyssal Horn’ to be able to transfer to the Abyss, how did these Polar Star Association folks manage to get in?"

[...]

[Under the lead of the ’Demon Shaman,’ you left the ’Sacrificial Ground’ and headed towards the ’Demon Temple’...]

[You know that the Executors of the Polar Star Association already possess divine-level strength, and if you’re to meet with them, you must make thorough preparations.]

[While en route, you took the opportunity to probe the ’Demon Shaman,’ asking for details...]

[As the ’Abyssal Child,’ the great leader of the Demon Clan, it naturally wouldn’t hide anything from you...]

[The ’Abyss’ and the ’Stars’ are two sides of the same coin, and both ’demons’ and ’star spirits’ are lifeforms created by the Abyss, though there is quite a difference in their physical structure, strictly speaking, they can be considered sibling species.]

[During the Second Divine War, the ’Abyss’ newly took control of the Stars’ authority, creating a large number of star spirits and joining forces with the Demon Clan to resist the enemy.]

[The Divine War was the bloodiest of wars and also the fastest route for all species to ascend.]

[Having been baptized in the battlefield, many demons and star spirits have become even more powerful beings, ascending to godhood...]

[Unfortunately, the Second Divine War still ended in failure.]

[The surviving Demon Gods hid in every corner of the Abyss, and the demons naturally followed the Demon Gods into hiding within the Underworld Abyss, clinging to life.]

[The plight of the star spirits was similar to that of the demons; the terrestrial world had no place for them anymore, they could only hide with the Star Gods in the starry sky, waiting for the opportunity to rise again.]

[Since the failure of the Second Divine War, perhaps the Demon Gods and Star Gods still maintained their secret communication, but with demons underground and star spirits in the starry sky, both carefully concealed themselves and dared not to show themselves, naturally losing contact with each other.]

[The Polar Star Association is an organization created by those humans who abandoned the Omniscient Evil God, said to have the covert support of Star Gods.]

[The reason why the Polar Star Association can still operate in the human world on the surface is because they themselves are human and can effectively hide within human society...]

[The Polar Star Association should’ve always been manipulated by certain Star Gods, and the manner by which they visit the Abyss this time, as well as their purpose, are unknown, but it’s definitely related to the Star Gods behind them...]

[’Abyssal Child,’ rest assured, the people of the Polar Star Association should bear no malice towards you.]

[Even if they dared to turn hostile and make a move, you needn’t worry. The ’Demon Temple’ has the power left by the Demon Gods, enough to annihilate all invaders.]

[Amidst the conversation, you’ve arrived at the ’Demon Temple’...]

Lin Xun had come to understand the relationship between the ’Stars’ faction and the ’Abyss’ faction.

Both sides had the same boss but were not of the same species, and the gods within each faction were born from the strongest in their groups, ascending among their ranks.

During the Divine Wars, with both sides’ bosses in place, they could naturally unite against a common enemy.

But after the failure of the Divine Wars, with the Abyss fallen and the Stars extinguished, both races could be described as having scattered in the face of great disaster, each looking to save themselves, no longer daring to show their heads and make contact.

Perhaps the surviving gods of both sides still kept in touch, but the gathering of demons and star spirits likely hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Not to mention the relations between demons and star spirits, even between demons and the defectors of the Polar Star Association who were still in the human world, there was hardly any contact.

"Why has the Polar Star Association chosen this time to visit the Abyss..."

"Eh, I was just saying the Abyss hadn’t granted me the Stars’ authority, and then the people from the Polar Star Association show up... Could it be that they’ve come to deliver the authority to me?"

The timeline of the Polar Star Association’s discovery of the Abyss Demons’ live sacrifice was far before Lin Xun became the Abyssal Child; not long after he assumed the role, the people of the Polar Star Association happened to come calling.

"Hiss... This ’Desolate Abyss’ is truly divine, even more prophetic than a Prophet, can it calculate with such precision?"
