Chapter 467: 467
Chapter 467: The Final Piece: Part 3
Lin Sheng calculated the time he had spent in the dark spirit world . He had stayed there for over a month, yet it was less than a week on the outside world . The different time streams confused him about the date .
Walking in the streets of a safe zone in Henricqal, he looked at the buildings . They were used to being abandoned . But now, because of the influx of people, they were occupied .
The clean electric vehicles had replaced many cars that burned fossil fuel . Most electric vehicles were modified to become smaller and practical . Space was limited in the safe zone . To accommodate more people and improve the congested streets, the owners of the workshops in Baine University had created these new types of electric vehicles . They were half the size of regular vehicles and capable of low altitude flying, greatly alleviating the traffic overcrowding in the area .
Lin Sheng watched as cars ran on the streets and flew between buildings . This supposed to be the wonder of the future had appeared before his eyes .
“Henricqal is nearly complete . Because of the Hand of the Underworld, I’ve almost forgotten about the Sanctum of Dusk; it needs upgrading . It’s time to do so now . ”
He walked at a leisurely pace, leaving the research center and soon arriving at the Sanctum division .
The Sanctum of Dusk had accumulated a high amount of holy power . The great holy power font had been overflowing for a long time . The escaped holy power had filled the air with white spots that glowed in fluorescent light . These things were holy crystals . When the sanctum needed holy power, the holy crystals would automatically convert back into the pure, holy power .
Lin Sheng stepped in the sanctum, into the prayer hall, alerting no one . No one was here . The door was locked . Outside of prayer time, no one was allowed to come into this place . He came in front of the prayer altar and closed his eyes .
A massive map of Henricqal popped up in front of his eyes in the dark . The map rotated clockwise like a sand table at the will of Lin Sheng . Then came a faint sound from the map . The terrain started to sink and split in the middle . As the Henricqal map came apart in half, the black stone column rose again . He could clearly see a handprint on the black stone column .
“Please verify your handprint . The handprint of the Bonded is required before the next upgrade can proceed,” the soft female voice said .
Lin Sheng stepped forward and gingerly placed his right hand on the handprint on the column .
“Handprint verification complete . Welcome to the options page . ”
A new dendrogram popped up right before Lins Sheng’s eyes, starting from the Sanctum of Dusk, forking up into six different branches .

“5—The Light of Judgement (The combination of the Power of Dusk and Holy Power Font, using the voice of chant as the activation key . It could judgment-attack any beings within the area of the Sanctum . The strength of the Light of Judgement corresponds to the amount of holy power in the holy power font .

“Please remember only three persons could be authorized to use the Light of Judgement . Each release of the Light of Judgement will exhaust all reserves of holy power in the holy power font . Please use it with care .
“Holy power required: 1,000,000 . Non-upgradable .
“6—Holy Crystal Font (Capacity is raisable to 10 million . Within a certain period . The holy crystals, by exhausting themselves, will automatically select individuals with enough purity and strength and convert them into holy spirits . )
“(Holy spirit: A soul life-form combined with holy power . It has all the memories and personalities of its past . Identical to resurrection . )
“Holy power required: 1,000,000 . Non-upgradable . ”
At the end of the dendrogram, Lin Sheng had noticed a fine text label .
“These six divine spells are the final upgrades, after which the Sanctum of Dusk will be complete, and this guidance process will start self-destruction . ”
“These are the final upgrades?”
Lin Sheng felt a little disappointed . But then, this ritual circle of Sanctum construction was just something the masters from the Blackfeather City created . It was high-grade stuff . This was probably the best they could achieve .
He glanced at the capacity gauge of the great holy power font . It showed one million units of holy power . With no hesitation, he selected the holy crystal font option .
Something vibrated in the dark, and then the vibration quickly died down . The next thing he saw was the amount of holy power dropping to zero, then bounced back to around 200,000 .
“Is it converted from the holy crystals?” Lin Sheng conjured .

Two hundred thousand units of holy power was just nice . So it was just as well spent on the Protection Ring, upgrading it to Level 2 . After the steps were done, the upgrade would work itself and be complete in a few days .
Lin Sheng exited the menu .
After sorting out everything in the sanctums in Henricqal and Xylond, he returned to the research center . There, he left some instructions to Taozi before returning to the Dark Spirit Palace through the Darkspirit Gate .
Now was the critical moment where he was about to find the final piece of the fragment . He needed to be on the ball and present at the scene when necessary . The minute he stepped into the Dark Spirit Place, a dark spirit soldier came back with a report . Wasting no time, Djall Demonhand handed him the intelligence report .
Lin Sheng stood in front of the Darkspirit gate, taking the report and browsing through it quickly .
Powerful fighters appeared in the Black Desert . They defeated the vanguard and injured the Centaur Lord .
“Something powerful has appeared? That was quick!”
Lin Sheng felt a little surprised . The Centaur Lord was a middle-strength warrior in all his forces, more powerful than Djall Demonhand and the Fairy Empress . Even then, he was still defeated and injured .
“What is the situation now? Contact the Centaur Lord . ” While speaking, he threw the intelligence report back to Djall Demonhand .
“The Giant King brothers and Sin Dragon Matriarch have gone to back him up . They should return soon,” replied Djall Demonhand .
“Any intel about the enemy?”
“We’ve got some . ” Djall Demonhand handed him a second intel report .
Lin Sheng had a quick read and was wide-eyed, lips curling up in a smile . “Interesting! Interesting!” .
Djall Demonhand said, “The one who defeated the Centaur Lord was a tall man with a transparent round gemstone inlaid on his chest . He called himself the Moonstone messenger, who had received guidance from heaven to wipe out the invading enemy . After finding out and confirming the identity of the Centaur Lord and the dark spirit army, he unleashed his attack . ”
“How did he defeat the Centaur Lord?” Lin Sheng had half guessed who the person was .
“He was extremely powerful and good in fighting . What was more important was that he had terrific attack resistance . All soul attacks and spells of other nature were ineffective against him . Beheading him and gouging out his heart wouldn’t kill him . He could restore himself in the blink of an eye . It was under such circumstances that the Centaur Lord was caught off guard and wounded . ”
Lin Sheng nodded .
“Instruct the Fairy Empress, the Giant King brothers, and Sin Dragon Matriarch to bring all their forces . I want to capture that man alive . ”
If he had guessed it correctly, the final piece of fragment must have become self-conscious, directing the powerful fighter whom it had given the power to lie in wait for the invading forces .
When Lin Sheng detected him earlier, he had also detected Lin Sheng . It happened in a split second before it disappeared . Lin Sheng thought it was the natural energy reaction of the final piece . But little did he expect it was a crucial behavior of the final piece which had become self-conscious .
