Soon, less than a week after the last divine flower bloomed, news spread that more divine flowers, and more than one, were about to bloom.
"Really? It hasn't even been two weeks yet!"
"Could it be a rumor? The divine flower has never had a problem blooming for so long."
"I've never heard of several divine flowers blooming at the same time."
"What's going on? Can any expert tell us if this news is true or false? If it's really that several divine flowers are blooming at the same time, wouldn't our chances of getting the divine flowers be higher?"
In any case, the simultaneous blooming of several divine flowers is good news for everyone.
Especially after learning that the Divine Flower could be exchanged for points.
Jiang Zifan sent a message to Yun Jian: "Our guild leader Zhao detected that four divine flowers will bloom simultaneously in three days. Are you interested? If so, let's cooperate."
That's considered a gesture of goodwill.
After all, given the capabilities of the Dark Gang, there was really no need for them to cooperate with her.
Yun thought about it for a moment and readily agreed, but...
"I have something to attend to for the time being and cannot leave. When the time comes, I would like to ask Chief Jiang to make sure that you can get your hands on all four divine flowers. Even if you cannot, you must not let the divine flowers fall into the hands of the charred corpse. I beg you."
Jiang Zifan noticed something was wrong with her tone and asked, "What happened?"
Yun Jian then told him about how the charred corpse could transform after eating the divine flower.
"Is that even possible? No wonder that guy surnamed Luo seemed so strange; he probably ate the divine flower too, right? Is there really no way to deal with the mutated, charred corpses right now?"
"It hasn't been found yet."
"Okay, I understand."
After closing the dialog box, Yun Jian looked at the crystal outside, feeling extremely annoyed.
How can I prevent this thing from producing the "divine flower"?
After thinking for a moment, she took out a small pebble.
On a whim, she tried to put the crystal into the pebble, but the pebble, which had always worked, didn't work this time. The pebble remained in her hand, and the crystal remained suspended in the air.
A notification message also popped up on her system panel—
[Target level is too high; this operation cannot be performed.]
Yunjian put away the pebbles, becoming even more curious about the origin of the crystal.
"Boss, look at the chat! Sheng Tian's charred corpse is just too overpowered!" the fourth brother shouted as he ran in.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jian opened the public chat and saw a new announcement prominently displayed above—
The newly discovered red crystal belongs to Sheng Tian. Anyone who dares to steal it will be killed without mercy!
Yun Jian: "..."
So cringey.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among others.
"Why should it be? This thing just appeared, so it should naturally belong to the capable. Why should Sheng Tian decide its ownership with just a word?"
"That's unfair! Who do the people from Shengtian think they are?"
"I just laughed. Nothing so domineering has ever happened on the grasslands in all these years. It's really ridiculous that Shengtian issued this announcement."
"What about the Investiture of the Gods? Sheng Tian is already so arrogant, and you're still not doing anything?"
"That thing is obviously unusual. Are the people who conferred the titles of gods just going to watch Sheng Tian take ownership of it? And what about those people who went to confer the titles of gods before? Come out and say something!"
The fourth brother watched for a while and then found it boring.
Although these people seemed excited, they were all instigating others to deal with Sheng Tian, either verbally condemning him or engaging in any real fighting.
Yun Jianze looked at the crystal with a troubled expression.
This thing must not fall into Sheng Tian's hands.
Judging by the time, Sheng Tian's people should arrive soon.
She doesn't have much time left.
On the other hand, the moment Mr. Luo saw the red crystal appear, he decided to keep it for himself.
With such dazzling light, it's clearly no ordinary object.
He left a few trusted confidants to guard Shengtian, while he personally led a team to the place where the red crystal had appeared.
"This grassland is truly a delightful surprise. First, there were the divine flowers, then this red crystal. I wonder how many more amazing things will appear in the future..."
He was really looking forward to it.
Of course, it would be even better if Tengyun Pavilion and those few people surnamed Yun weren't there to cause trouble.
The charred corpse moved quickly, arriving at the ominous place by the next morning.
Mr. Luo first sent a few charred corpses forward to check the situation, while he waited on the side. He squinted at the red crystal a few times, and whether it was his imagination or not, the crystal looked bigger than he had imagined.
Soon, the charred corpse that went up to investigate returned and reported back.
"Sir, we haven't found anything unusual. The crystal doesn't seem to be aggressive."
"Not aggressive? What about in other aspects?"
The charred corpse shook its head: "No, it just looks like a pretty, ordinary stone."
Mr. Luo frowned, somewhat disbelieving, and opened his palm, a wisp of black silk swimming towards the red crystal.
The black silk first circled around the crystal, then tentatively attacked it, carefully drilling one end into the crystal.
To Mr. Luo's surprise, the entry went very smoothly, without him encountering the slightest obstacle.
He let out a soft "Eh," and prepared to pull back his black stockings.
but……
No matter how hard he tried, the black stockings seemed to be trapped inside and couldn't get out.
Mr. Luo: "!"
He realized that this was the unusual thing about the crystal.
It has no offensive capabilities, but it can absorb objects into itself and cannot summon them out.
He felt a pang of regret. He had just lost a black silk thread to Bai Yu not long ago, and now this strange stone had swallowed another one. He only had three silk threads left, and now he only had one.
He was somewhat unwilling to give up and continued to summon the black silk. The black silk also sensed his summons and tried to break free from the stone, but it could not break through the crystal's barrier.
After trying for a long time, Mr. Luo gave up.
"Let's move this broken stone back to Shengtian. Once we get back, I'll figure out how to get my black silk out properly."
In a fit of anger, he issued the order.
The charred corpses below immediately complied.
Sheng Tian's charred corpse even posted the video of them moving the crystal on the public screen, arrogantly announcing—
The crystal is already in Sheng Tian's hands. Want to take it? We'll take it if you want.
That statement had a slightly threatening tone to it.
"Damn, how come you guys are so fast? How much time has passed?"
"I was still hoping that the item would end up in my hands. Ever since the crystal appeared, I've been traveling non-stop. Now, I'm less than halfway there, and the item is already in Sheng Tian's hands. I'm completely numb."
"You even posted the video of you moving the crystal, weren't you just trying to show off?"
"This is infuriating! They're completely disregarding us! Investiture of the Gods, don't you feel anything at all?"
No matter how many times people tried to confer titles on him in the public chat, he didn't respond at all.
In fact, on his way back, Mr. Luo had already run into the people from Tengyun Pavilion.
"You're really quick. That's good, it saves us from having to run so far."
Cheng Cheng held a bottle of medicine in his hand and deliberately waved it in front of Mr. Luo, "Guess what this is?"
Mr. Luo glanced at him, feeling extremely annoyed with Cheng Cheng.
She didn't answer, and instead glanced at him with disdain the whole time.
Cheng Cheng didn't mind and said to himself, "A new product, designed for mutated, charred corpses like yours."
