150: Chapter 15 Heading to the Beacon!

That majestic phantom was condensed from pure holy light.

Suspended high above the shattered void, its specific features were unclear, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

Its voice was calm, yet contained an indescribable power, resonating directly within the depths of everyone's soul.

The surging golden holy light around Asura paused slightly, and the energy of the Seventh Cosmos, which was about to erupt,

as if smoothed by an invisible hand, slowly receded.

His gaze towards the phantom held deep reverence as he gave a slight bow. "Your Holiness."

The phantom nodded slightly, then lightly raised a hand.

Xiao Wanguo's howling dragon-like offensive immediately dissipated in the void.

"General Xiao, it has been many years. Your spear techniques have grown even more formidable."

The phantom's voice remained calm, yet it made Xiao Wanguo's expression turn grave.

He retracted his martial god spear, silvery-white light flowing around him, and said solemnly, "Your Holiness personally gracing us with your presence is quite a surprise for this Xiao."

The Pope's phantom let out a light laugh, its voice echoing like a sacred bell.

"Let today's matter end here."

"Since the divine inheritance has been obtained by another, it is the will of heaven. The Golden Cult will not pursue it further."

Hearing this, Asura's expression changed slightly, but he dared not utter a word.

Then, the Pope's phantom's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, landing on Lu Yin.

After pausing for a few seconds, it said nothing more.

Immediately after, the Pope's phantom began to slowly dissipate, and the world returned to silence.

Asura also turned silently and departed without leaving a single word.

The demonic aura around Lin Xiao gradually receded, his shattered wings dissolving into black mist, and the demonic patterns on his face slowly faded.

His body swayed as he slowly descended from the void, dark red blood continuously trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Old Lin, are you alright?"

Lu Yin came before Lin Xiao,

He used Attribute Conversion to increase his Spirit stat.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a dense stream of Death Force poured into Lin Xiao's body.

+16,235,655!

Under the powerful attribute bonuses Lu Yin currently possessed, Death Coil restored over ten million HP.

This couldn't return Lin Xiao to his peak condition, but he was clearly in much better shape than before.

"Lu Yin, how are you?"

Xiao Wanguo approached at this moment, asking Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled slightly and turned to look at Xiao Wanguo. "Officer Xiao, it's a good thing you arrived in time."

Xiao Wanguo waved his hand, his expression serious as he surveyed the surroundings.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's leave here first."

"Alright."

Lu Yin recalled all of his Death Legion, and the Three Legion Commanders also returned to their own spaces.

Afterwards, they boarded the aircraft Xiao Wanguo had arrived in and flew directly out of the Western Alliance's border.

During the journey, Xiao Wanguo looked at Lu Yin and couldn't help but ask,

"The Golden Cult dispatched a Golden Fighter this time, and even the Pope's phantom personally descended. What exactly did you obtain within the Rift of Time?"

Lu Yin briefly recounted his experiences within the Rift of Time.

After hearing it, Xiao Wanguo frowned.

"A shattered divine spark..."

"This is indeed a matter of great significance."

Lu Yin, however, was somewhat puzzled. "Can a Professional truly become a deity?"

Xiao Wanguo pondered for a moment, his fingers lightly tapping on the aircraft's control panel.

"That matter... is a rather long story."

"Although no one can confirm it for sure, some ancient texts do record"

"that there were human Professionals who obtained complete divine sparks and stepped into the divine domain."

Lu Yin's pupils contracted slightly. "And now...?"

"Now..." Xiao Wanguo sighed.

"No one has seen a true divine spark now. The shattered divine spark you obtained, if you could gather it completely, perhaps..."

"Perhaps there really is a chance to become a deity."

The aircraft flew steadily through the clouds, and the cabin fell into a brief silence.

Xiao Wanguo's words seemed to drop a massive stone into Lu Yin's heart, stirring up ripples.

A chance to become a deity.

These five words weighed heavily, causing Lu Yin to unconsciously clench his fist.

If he could become a deity, could he take back Blue Star? Could he find his parents?

But for now, this thought could only remain a thought.

Divine sparks were exceedingly rare, almost impossible to find in the entire world.

Otherwise, how could there only be these fragmented words of unknown authenticity left behind?

"However..." Xiao Wanguo's tone shifted, his expression turning grave.

"The news of you obtaining a divine inheritance has likely already spread."

"Although the Golden Cult has conceded on the surface, they will not give up easily. Other forces will also catch wind and act."

Lu Yin looked up, his gaze sharp. "What do you mean, Officer Xiao?"

"You are now the target of all."

Xiao Wanguo was direct. "Although the Celestial Dynasty is safe for you, that safety is limited to the Holy Hall Academy."

"After you return, focus on deepening your studies within the academy. At the very least..."

"At the very least, wait until you undergo your second turn before venturing out again."

"By then, this commotion will likely have gradually faded from memory, and you will also possess sufficient strength to protect yourself."

Lu Yin fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Officer Xiao, can staying at the Holy Hall Academy really guarantee my safety?"

Xiao Wanguo paused, a flash of complexity in his eyes.

"The Holy Hall Academy, as the Celestial Dynasty's highest institution of learning, possesses a heritage spanning thousands of years."

"The Headmaster is a Seven-Awakening Professional, no weaker than the Golden Pope."

"With him here, on this planet, no one can touch a single hair on your head."

Lu Yin thought about it and realized it made sense.

Moreover, if he focused wholeheartedly on leveling up within the academy, the speed of his level progression would undoubtedly be terrifying compared to now.

It's just that such days might be rather monotonous.

Suddenly, Lu Yin remembered Qin Chuan deciphering the Mechanical Race's beacon. He casually spoke to Xiao Wanguo,

"Officer Xiao, could you first take me to these coordinates: 31°14' N, 121°29' E?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanguo input the coordinates into the control panel and raised an eyebrow.

"The Eastern Wasteland Sand Domain? That's a level 7 leveling zone. What are you going there for?"

Lu Yin briefly explained the matter of the Mechanical Race deciphering the beacon. Xiao Wanguo's expression showed understanding.

After all, when he first made contact with Lu Yin, aside from Lu Yin killing two wanted criminals, this was also one of the reasons.

"In that case, let's go take a look."

"But we must be quick. The situation in the Eastern Wasteland Sand Domain is complex, and outsiders are often seen there."

The aircraft changed direction and sped towards the Eastern Wasteland Sand Domain.

Approximately twelve hours later, the aircraft hovered above a stretch ofcontinuous sand dunes.

"The coordinates are right here."

Xiao Wanguo looked at the instrument panel, a puzzled expression on his face. "But below, aside from sand, there seems to be nothing."

"Let's go down and check first."

The aircraft slowly descended onto the scorching sand, the engine's hum gradually ceasing.

The hatch opened, and a scorching wind carrying sand particles rushed towards them.

Lu Yin was the first to jump down from the aircraft, his feet sinking into the soft sand.

He took out the beacon that the Mechanical Race had already deciphered. The surface of the metal disc suddenly lit up withDark blue patterns.

The pointer spun wildly, finally pointing in a direction deep within the sand dunes.

"There's a reaction." Lu Yin's gaze sharpened. "The location indicated by the beacon is straight ahead."
