CHAPTER 734: 174, OPPORTUNITY

Under the endless starry sky,

The aura of the Nightmare Demon God had already perished, completely returned to nothingness.

Lin Yue held the Divine Artifact Battle Saber, yet he felt a bit puzzled, "The Nightmare Demon God never took out a Semi-Divine Artifact?"

Seeing the Daoist Ancestor slightly frowning, standing in place without any intention of acting immediately, he also stopped the operation of the Ultimate Heaven and Earth within his body, which greatly slowed the speed of his collapsing Divine Soul.

At this moment, the Star God Temple was isolated from the outside world, and would not open until after seven days.

Therefore, saving some time was indeed beneficial.

Moreover, a Six-legged Bronze Cauldron inside his body was slowly rotating, quietly operating.

"Is this the Ultimate Path?"

The Daoist Ancestor looked at him and spoke slowly, "Merely by forcibly harmonizing, your realm can rival the path I have proven..."

Lin Yue said indifferently, "Why don’t you use Semi-Divine Artifacts?"

In terms of realm height, he was indeed comparable to the Daoist Ancestor, and he was skilled in more methods.

However, the level of the Daoist Ancestor in refining Divine Power was obviously deeper than his; perhaps he had already forged a Divine Body, much stronger than his initial refinement of Divine Power.

But the Daoist Ancestor was barehanded, while he had Divine Artifacts and several Semi-Divine Artifacts at his side, which gave him an advantage.

Therefore, in comparison, he was not at a disadvantage.

As for the Nightmare Demon God, he was much weaker than the Daoist Ancestor, likely having only initiated the refinement of Divine Power, at most forging a small portion of the Divine Body.

"Semi-Divine Artifact..."

The Daoist Ancestor looked at Lin Yue silently and sighed, "Indeed... only the Ancient Human Clan could use weapons within the Star God Temple."

Lin Yue slightly narrowed his eyes.

As a Proving Realm expert, with sufficient materials and willingness to spend effort, one could forge Semi-Divine Artifacts.

Semi-Divine Artifacts were equivalent to extremely strong Lifebound Divine Weapons, even at the Proving Realm level they could significantly enhance one’s power. The stronger one’s inherent strength, the more powerful the Semi-Divine Artifact’s capability.

The Daoist Ancestor and the Nightmare Demon God could not use Semi-Divine Artifacts, but he could. That was a significant difference.

Initially, he thought it was disdain from the Nightmare Demon God and the Daoist Ancestor, but until the Nightmare Demon God’s demise, they did not use a Semi-Divine Artifact. Only then did he understand that perhaps it was not unwillingness, but incapability.

Looking at it now, was it the restriction of the Star God Temple?

However, the Lord of the Old Days indeed showed favoritism towards the Ancient Human Clan, evident from the True Dream and the Old Day’s Wish.

The Daoist Ancestor spoke softly again, "It seems after Your Highness obtained the Old Day’s Wish, a grand wish was made?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did you guess it?"

If he did not use Inner Heaven and Earth, the speed of his collapsing Divine Soul would slow significantly, allowing him to hold out for several years at least. So since the Daoist Ancestor did not act, he could afford to delay.

"The Demon Clan sought Yuan Ling for the Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method, only a grand wish could fulfill it."

The Daoist Ancestor slowly said, "And after Your Highness forcibly harmonized and lasted so long, the Divine Soul has not collapsed; perhaps this is the reason."

Lin Yue looked at him and spoke, "So, does the Daoist Ancestor intend to give up?"

"This old Taoist can no longer handle Your Highness..."

The Daoist Ancestor shook his head and sighed, "Had I known Your Highness truly had a chance to succeed in harmonization, and even potentially change the situation for the Human Clan, this old Taoist perhaps would not have chosen this way... Unfortunately..."

"Oh?" Lin Yue narrowed his eyes, "At this point, the Daoist Ancestor has turned back in remorse?"

"I know Your Highness’ heart is filled with bitterness." The Daoist Ancestor sighed and said, "But now is not the time to be entangled in these matters. Since Your Highness’ Divine Soul is verging on collapse, the most important thing should be to find a way to reverse this outcome."

"How to reverse it?" Lin Yue said indifferently.

At this moment, he had already obtained the memories of Xiahou Shou’s Harmonization Stage, but he had been too busy fighting at the brink of life and death to examine them.

Once immersed in the memories, his mind would be greatly affected, so it must wait until safety was ensured.

"Divine Soul collapse... Only a True God intervention, or the legendary Superior Grade Dao Heart Treasure ’Reincarnation Fruit,’ can restore the Divine Soul."

The Daoist Ancestor said, "Does Your Highness know this Star God Temple is a treasure land set by the Old Lord of Ancient Times? Inside the Divine Palace hides endless opportunities, and as long as there is strength and potential, one can obtain the opportunities hidden within."

Lin Yue pondered for a while and said, "Are there Reincarnation Fruits among these opportunities?"

"Unknown."

The Daoist Ancestor lightly shook his head, looked up at the endless starry sky, and said, "Does Your Highness see these stars in the sky? Those bright and prominent stars are actually opportunities, and as long as one touches them, they can undertake trials. Upon passing a trial, the opportunity within can be obtained."

Lin Yue looked up, studying the starry sky, which resembled the Ten Thousand Gods Temple of the Imperial Palace in Di Hong City.

But the stars of the Ten Thousand Gods Temple required merely an aura’s attraction to make the stars fall and transform into treasures.

In the starry sky of the Star God Temple, three stars were obviously more dazzling than the others.

There were also thirty-six stars of the secondary brilliance.

And three thousand more moderately bright stars.

As for other stars, they were merely distant points in the sky.

"There are three levels of opportunity in the Star God Temple."

The Daoist Ancestor said, "Three thousand primary opportunities, thirty-six secondary opportunities, and three superior opportunities. Inferior opportunities are less valuable than Divine Artifacts, but secondary opportunities generally exceed Divine Artifact value, while superior opportunities are even more precious than a grand wish."

He looked at Lin Yue and said, "However, each person in the Star God Temple may only attempt a superior opportunity’s trial every hundred years. A secondary opportunity trial requires a year’s interval, and primary opportunities can be attempted once each day. One can take away at most one superior opportunity, three secondary opportunities, and ten inferior opportunities."
