"Go back and recover from your injuries. I'll handle the rest."
As the Lord of the Divine Court spoke, he took out a glass bottle.
A flicker of heartache crossed his eyes.
Then he handed it to Chiling: "There is a drop of the Nine Heavens Spirit Spring bestowed by the God in this. Taking it will greatly benefit your injuries."
Chi Ling was overjoyed upon hearing this and accepted the gift with both hands reverently, saying, "Thank you, my lord."
This is the Heavenly Spring!
Only a very few advanced worlds out of the three thousand worlds possess this!
Moreover, it takes three thousand years to produce just one drop!
Extremely precious!
Although she was the master of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, she was not qualified to obtain it.
I never expected to have such an opportunity today.
This injury wasn't for nothing!
The Lord of the Divine Court tried his best not to look at the glass bottle, fearing that he might not be able to resist taking it back.
That's the Heavenly Spring!
After saving up for so many years, I only have six drops left.
He wouldn't have been willing to take out such a precious spiritual treasure if he wasn't worried that Chi Ling might accidentally leak information about the seed while she was out and about.
"Refining the Nine Heavens Spirit Spring requires several days of seclusion; we must not be careless."
"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Celestial Court. I will temporarily assign someone else to handle them. You just need to focus on recovering from your injuries."
"Yes," Chi Ling replied obediently, clutching the glass bottle tightly.
"Alright, you may leave now." The Divine Court Master simply closed his eyes and waved his hand.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Yes, ma'am," Chi Ling said respectfully, before getting up and leaving.
The Lord of the Divine Court leaned back on his large throne, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Is it one of the spirit pets under that person's command?"
A woman in red with a graceful figure slowly emerged from the void.
Curved and alluring, it is incredibly tempting.
Her appearance was absolutely stunning; every smile and frown of hers was captivating.
When he opened his mouth, he was the originator of the consonant phrase: "A pitch-black seed, and endless vitality... This description is indeed very similar."
The Divine Court Master, looking constipated, said, "Tiemu, can you please stop talking like that?"
Ironwood's supple body coiled around the Divine Court Master like a snake, his breath sweet as orchids: "What? Don't you like it?"
The Divine Court Master pushed Tie Mu aside and asked, "What do we do next?"
"Of course, we need to find that seed as soon as possible and then refine it." Tie Mu's red lips parted slightly, his eyes narrowed, revealing a sense of determination.
"It's easy to say, but that's the spirit pet under His Majesty's command." A rough female voice echoed in the hall.
The next second, another woman appeared from the void.
Completely different from Tiemu.
This woman was large and burly, with arms so thick they were rounder than Tie Mu's thighs.
Although her appearance was not as beautiful as Tie Muyan, it was still quite exquisite.
She's definitely a supermodel Barbie.
The "Golden Barbie" has an extremely ladylike name: Yu Wan.
"So what?" Temu sneered. "Don't forget, that person is already... on the battlefield."
That ancient war shattered even the chaos.
Moreover, she has not appeared again in all these years, allowing these gods to share her power.
They must have perished.
Even so, she dared not utter the words "fallen".
“Even if it’s just her spirit pet, it’s not something we can handle.” Yu Wan frowned, looking coldly at Tie Mu.
"Looks like you've been in seclusion for too long these past few years and you've gone mad." Tie Mu glanced at Yu Wan, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"What did you say!" Yu Wan's gaze turned even colder.
"Why do you two always have to argue whenever you meet?" The Divine Court Master stood between the two, somewhat annoyed. "Don't forget what our ultimate goal is."
Become a god!
Each of them rules over a realm!
They are already at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step Celestial God realm, just a little bit of luck away from achieving it!
If they could perfectly refine that person's pet, they would definitely be able to cross that insurmountable barrier!
Then, become an unparalleled god!
They have been working towards this goal, and have even done many things against their conscience.
But in the face of absolute power, nothing else matters.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of us.
You still have time to argue?
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged a glance and then each took a step back.
Tie Mu said slowly, "All of that person's spirit pets were seriously injured in the battle. Most of them have perished, and the few that survived are also seriously injured."
The Lord of the Divine Court nodded: "Temu is right. Otherwise, the majestic Tree of Life would not have been reduced to a mere seed."
He had the good fortune to witness the power of the Tree of Life many years ago.
Those seemingly delicate branches, like chains of order, swept across lightly and instantly shattered the demons.
At that time, he tried his best, but could only barely escape from the pursuit of a monster.
Worlds apart!
But so what?
Standing here now, I am the one who has become the second-in-command in this world.
What was once an unparalleled power could only serve as nourishment to help him become a god.
Thinking of this, a hint of fanaticism appeared in the eyes of the Divine Court Master.
"But..." Yu Wan was still conflicted.
"Stop being so fussy!" Tie Mu glanced at Yu Wan and said, "If you're scared, just retreat into your shell and be the second-in-command for the rest of your life."
"Who's afraid?" Yu Wan retorted angrily, her neck stiff.
"If you're not afraid, then shut up," Temu snorted.
"Stop arguing." The Divine Court Master once again stepped between the two: "The most urgent matter is finding that seed."
"Didn't Chiling say that the seed was presented by the Lord of the Second Court?" Temu said, "Why don't we just ask him directly?"
"Then what is this stone hand she mentioned? It can snatch things from her hands silently and even injure her instantly. Even a god could not do that." Yu Wan shook her head.
Not only could the God-Emperor not do it, but even they, though they could crush the God-Emperor, could not do it silently.
Only the gods can do it silently.
If the gods take that seed away, wouldn't they have no chance?
Yu Wan's words silenced both the Divine Court Master and Tie Mu.
If it really was taken away by the gods, then they...
There is absolutely no chance of winning.
“Perhaps we should inquire where the Lord of the Second Court obtained the seed of the Tree of Life.” Temu pursed his lips, and Jia Ziyin broke the silence.
“Temu is right,” Yu Wan rarely agreed, “Perhaps there are other opportunities.”
“Then let’s take a two-pronged approach,” the Divine Court Master said, taking a deep breath.
"A two-pronged approach?" Both Tie Mu and Yu Wan looked at the Divine Court Master, somewhat puzzled.
"I want to go to the gods to test them out and see if it was him who stole the seeds," said the Lord of the Divine Court.
"Are you crazy?" Both Tie Mu and Yu Wan frowned, expressing their disapproval.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," the Divine Court Master said firmly.
