Black Star looked like he was struggling. "Yes, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request. I have to go back to the organization first..."

Hearing this, Rhett's expression did not change at all, instead a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Judging from his judgment of Black Star's character, rejection was to be expected. How could he betray his trust for such a small benefit?

If he agreed decisively right then, Leiter would doubt his own judgment and even wonder if the soul demon had possessed Black Star through some other strange means...

He shook his head regretfully, "My door is always open to you..."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Hei Xing's eyes, and he nodded heavily, "I will remember this kindness in my heart!"

…

After sending Black Star safely out of the strange rock volcano, Rhett began to head back alone.

"See? Manu, what do you think happened to Black Star?"

As early as Rhett arrived at the area of ​​the strange rock volcano, he had opened Manu's visual and auditory rights, so everything that had just happened was naturally seen by Manu.

Not only Manu, but Minge also received the same treatment.

At this moment, in the simulation space, the two of them were thinking hard, and finally Manu spoke first: "Rhett, I think such a major change cannot happen out of thin air. The change in the power system cannot be separated from the support of the world's origin... and the only thing that has recently affected the world's origin is probably the return of the God of Love's origin..."

Rhett was flying in the air, his eyes narrowed, his clothes rustling.

He whispered to himself, "You mean... Black Star obtained the power influenced by the origin of the God of Love? Hmm, it seems possible that Jinsha's death caused Black Star's emotions to become extreme, resulting in a mutation..."

Suddenly, his brows and eyes looked a little strange, "Why does this sound so much like the Sharingan... Without losing a loved one and experiencing grief, you can't gain powerful power... It's a bit weird..."

Manu didn't care about the joke, and after hearing the second half of the sentence, he analyzed:

"I'm afraid it's not death that leads to the acquisition of powerful strength. The problem lies in the word 'love'."

"I originally thought that only love could trigger the power of the God of Love, but based on the relationship between Black Star and Gold Sand, I'm afraid that's not the case. I guess as long as the emotion is extremely strong, it will be enough to trigger the power of the God of Love."

"And death is just the condition that is most likely to cause fluctuations..."

It has to be said that this explanation is quite convincing, and Rhett couldn't think of any other possibilities for a moment.

"Extreme emotions..." Lei Te muttered silently, and said slowly: "I guess not all extreme emotions can trigger the power of the god of love. Every day, many people in the world face death due to various accidents. Many people must have violent emotions at the moment of death. Even if they are not facing death, excessive shock will have a similar effect. But my people have not found any abnormal phenomenon..."

"Hmm... that makes sense. Could it be that pure negative emotions are not what the God of Love likes? It must be positive emotions? Or... from positive to negative?" Manu seemed to have thought of something and said, "Could it be that extreme emotions alone are not enough? There must be a drastic turn, extreme changes, etc."

Rhett touched his forehead. The more he thought about emotions and feelings, the more elusive they became.

The most elusive thing in the world is probably the word "love"...

Two days later.

Green King City, Eagle City.

In a private room of the Rattlesnake Tavern, in front of Rhett sat the cautious tavern owner, Lilith.

"Abnormal phenomenon? What abnormal phenomenon can there be in our tavern? If drunk and talking nonsense counts, then here every day..."

Lilith, wearing fishnet black stockings, a tight leather top and shorts, sat on a metal chair and said with a bitter face.

Thanks to its relationship with Rhett and as one of the first shops to move into Green Royal City, the Rattlesnake Tavern now occupies a core location in the city, which is equivalent to the top-notch shop on Rainbow Street, which was closest to the palace in Jinlun Royal City.

Those who come and go in the Rattlesnake Tavern every day are either rich or noble, and their daily turnover can reach thousands of gold coins.

This also made Lilith grateful to Lei Te. When she heard Lei Te asked her to find out about the "abnormal phenomenon", she did it almost immediately.

Unfortunately, this description was too vague, and she didn't know what was considered an "abnormal phenomenon".

"Well, what I mean is that there is an abnormal phenomenon that is unique to the past three months. Being drunk doesn't count, but are there drunk people who are hurt by love, or have strong emotional fluctuations such as anger, and suddenly their fighting power doubles..."

Leiter looked at Lilith with a serious expression. Ever since he learned about what happened to Black Star and discussed it with Manu, he began to investigate any place where "extreme emotions" might be born.

The tavern naturally meets the most requirements.

After all, when people are drunk, they are more likely to have all kinds of emotions.

It can be said that alcohol is a magnifying glass for emotions.

Even if a man is a bootlicker, if the person he secretly loves suddenly ignores him, he may get drunk, cry and try to commit suicide.

Naturally, there is a greater possibility of drastic fluctuations in the aspect of "emotion".

In addition to this, there are many other situations that I will not list here one by one.

Lilith folded her arms, holding up the tall snow-capped peaks. After a moment, she sighed helplessly and spread her hands, causing the peaks to collapse. "I'll send someone to take a closer look. I really don't understand what you mean..."

Lei Te nodded and waved his hand, and the latter tactfully left the quiet private room.

Riley, who had been sitting silently beside Leiter, lowered his voice and said, "Father, since Black Star's mutation occurred because of the death of his partner who was also his friend and lover, we can focus our investigation on this group of people, and focus on friends and lovers. If Black Star's power really comes from the origin of the God of Love, then our persistence will sooner or later pay off."

"Well... this is the only way. I will hand this matter over to someone else. You already have a heavy burden on your shoulders, so there's no need to divide your attention any further." Rhett pondered for a moment and patted Riley on the back.

Ruilai smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't take much effort. We have extraordinary ranches all over the country, and our personnel are scattered all over the place, which makes it easier to investigate. In the future, when the Hunter Guild bases are established one by one, the tasks can be sent out, and I don't need to monitor them personally."

Lei Te thought about it and thought that what Rui Lai said made sense, so he instructed:

"Okay, then let's do as you say, but remember, the focus should still be on supervising the construction of kingdoms in various places, and don't spend too much energy on such an elusive thing."

"For now, I think the Origin of Evolution is very different from the Origin of the God of Love. The former is like a rain or dew, spreading to every living being. Although the force is not strong, it is more sustainable and can be combined with alchemy to create greater potential."

"The latter seems to require harsh conditions to be triggered, but once triggered, it will undergo a qualitative change, possessing terrifying potential and powerful strength..."

Ruilai nodded: "Understood, Father!"

The Kingdom of Rim.

There are countless alchemical lines flowing on the surface of the palace, which is not only extremely solid, but also perfectly hides the aura of this place.

Boom

The sound of a huge rock moving was heard.

A passage from top to bottom opened, and a short figure slowly descended, walked out of the gate, and immediately headed towards the black gold palace.

However, this time it was not as smooth as usual.

At the entrance of the Black Gold Palace, a short figure placed his palm on the door. Not only did the door not open, but red lines lit up instead. The next moment, three nimble figures jumped out of the palace.

And there were loud shouts one after another.

"Intruder, die..."

"The intruder...Huh? Black Star!"

I thought that the formation could not possibly go wrong since it was prompting a stranger to touch it, but who would have thought that after seeing the person coming, he turned out to be a familiar companion.

The three masked figures in black clothes slowed down their movements a little, but the next moment, they asked in doubt, "Who are you? Why is your aura so strange..."

Black Star smiled bitterly and waved his hands, "I am Black Star. If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't have come back to ask for help. Where's the boss? I want to see him..."

The three men did not relax their vigilance. One of them said in a tight voice, "He hasn't come back yet. Answer me first, where is Jinsha? Didn't you go to the East Blue Coast? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Black Star's expression suddenly became deathly calm.

"Don't lie to me. We are going to the strange rock volcano, not the East Blue Coast. Jinsha... is dead..."

The three black-clad figures were shocked when they heard this, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

"Well, then you come in first, I'll go contact the boss..."

A dark, quiet room.

A figure covered in mist stood at the door of the room.

"Tell me, how did Jinsha die, and how did you escape by luck..."

An old and hoarse voice came over and reached Black Star's ears.

It was as if all the pressure in my heart was lifted off in an instant, and the sadness burst out completely like a valve opened.

Tears welled up in Heixing's eyes, and his throat choked with sobs, "Wuwu, Boss, I'm sorry for you, and even more sorry for Jinsha..."

Listen quietly to the tearful complaints.

The old man stroked Black Star's hair and slowed down his tone, "Child, speak slowly, don't be anxious... Tell me who killed Jinsha..."

As he said the last sentence, a faint murderous intent rose in the room.

Black Star suddenly felt creepy and wiped the tears from his eyes. "It was... someone from the underworld... er, it was a monster from the underworld. It killed Jinsha and almost killed me too. Luckily, King Leiter happened to pass by and not only saved my life, but also helped me kill the monster from the underworld..."

The old man's brows were deeply knitted together, he didn't expect there would be such a turn of events.

"The underworld? I thought it was just a rumor... It seems that this rumor is also groundless, it is true... But how does Leiter know so much... It's interesting..."

Black Star asked cautiously, "Boss, do you know Lei Te?"

The old man glanced at Black Star and said calmly, "I know him, but not very well. I will think of a way to deal with this matter."

"For now, let's talk about the situation in your body - what exactly is going on? The sea of ​​​​spirituality is gray, and I'm afraid that even meditation cannot continue..."

Black Star sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? I tried it, but not only could I not meditate, but even the breathing method I had specially found on the way here couldn't work smoothly. It seems that I can't follow the path of a magician or a knight at all..."

The old man pondered for a moment, and a blood-red stone appeared out of thin air in his hand. He slapped it into Black Star's hand and said, "Swallow this thing."

"What is this? Could it be... Blood Essence Stone?" Black Star blinked. "Rhett also told me at the time that in today's world, only Blood Essence Stone can help me."

"Hmm... He's right. This is the only way I can think of that can help you improve your strength. Take it and see the effect."

Upon hearing this, Black Star didn't act pretentiously and put the Blood Essence Stone into his mouth.

I thought I would have to chew very hard, even at the risk of breaking my teeth.

But who would have known that after entering the mouth and coming into contact with the body, it would quickly transform into pure blood power and merge into every part of the body.

Unlike other people who swallowed blood essence stones, the blood source power swallowed by Black Star did not rush to the sea of ​​​​spirit, but was more closely transmitted to each cell of the body, wandering through various meridians, constantly nourishing and strengthening this mutated body.

The old man kept one hand on Black Star's body at all times, and his mind sensed the specific changes in the other's body, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

But gradually, a trace of curiosity and confusion emerged in my heart.

A few minutes later, Black Star had completely digested this extremely pure blood essence stone that was refined by the Sanctuary Alchemist.

After burping, Black Star opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and said in surprise: "Wow, what on earth is this? The effect is surprisingly good. I feel that my body is in great condition now. I can clearly feel that my overall strength has increased by a small section, as if this thing is tailor-made for me... If I can eat it as a meal, my training speed will definitely be much faster than before!"

The old man took his hand away from Black Star, took a half step back, and looked Black Star up and down:

"Hmm... The effect of the Blood Essence Stone on you is much better than I expected, and it is more suitable for you than on others."

"From now on, you will rely on this blood essence stone for cultivation, but remember, the number you can swallow every day is quite limited. For you at the moment, swallowing ten pieces a day is the limit! I will find someone to supervise you, and absolutely no chaos is allowed."

“Ah? Only ten dollars. If only I could swallow a hundred dollars…” Black Star looked regretful and sighed in confusion.

The old man's mouth twitched, and he scolded like an elder: "Humph, too naive, you don't even know that the blood essence stone actually contains impurities. For other extraordinary people, even if they are at the same level as you, their body's metabolic purification power can only support others to take three or four pills a day. It is precisely because of the special situation in your body that you can take multiple times the amount of others. You should be content..."
