After putting away the origin substance and the Winged Serpent God's corpse, Grimm's gaze fell on the divine force crystals.
Divine force crystals sounded no different from magic crystals. They were just the condensation of some kind of element or energy!
However, the magical crystals only gathered magical energy that could be sensed everywhere in the world. Divine force crystals, on the other hand, gathered divine force that was extremely rare and precious.
Just like how water was a liquid and ice was a solid, divine force crystals were actually strange crystals formed from the condensation of highly concentrated faith power.
In a natural state, it was impossible for faith power to condense naturally.
Only those gods who used divine power to gather the power of faith could change their physical form and form such a strange crystal.
This also meant that every divine power crystal contained a trace of the god's divinity.
These things were quite valuable to Magi!
Unable to figure out the use of these divine force crystals for the time being, Grimm casually put them away.
Just like that, the only thing left in front of him was the rather exaggeratedly shaped … giant egg.
Just as he approached it, before Grimm could even probe it with his spiritual force, the giant egg shook, and a shrill and ear-piercing mental language came from within.
Logically speaking, with the characteristics of the mental language, even creatures from different planes and races could communicate smoothly. However, this Mental Language couldn't express the slightest bit of complete consciousness. It only transmitted a feeling of anger and hatred.
At the same time, a thin bolt of lightning struck down, striking Grimm's head.
The lightning was golden in colour, and its power was not shocking. It seemed to only have a radius of one or two hundred degrees.
Although this bolt of lightning did not harm Grimm in the slightest, it caused his long hair to flutter and his entire body to feel numb. It was a very strange feeling.
The power of laws …
Grimm could not help but feel astonished.
A little fellow that had yet to fully develop its own consciousness and was still in the embryonic stage had already grasped a portion of the power of the laws of lightning … It was obvious that the Winged Serpent God had spent a lot on nurturing this little fellow.
In that case, the divine force crystals and the origin substance were also prepared for this little fellow.
The offspring of divine creatures would probably possess a portion of divinity the moment they were born!
Even if it was just an embryo inside the egg that had yet to take human form, it already possessed a terrifying might that was not weaker than a Tier 1 Magus. At the very least, a Tier 1 Wizard's Chain Lightning would not be able to harm Grimm at all, yet this little fellow could make him feel a trace of numbness.
What should they do with this huge egg?
Hatch it?
As soon as this idea appeared in Grim's mind, he rejected it.
The consumption of resources to cultivate divine creatures was not something he could bear now.
Grim wasn't willing to use the Divine Power Crystals and Origin Substance on this egg. Without the Feathered Serpent God's nourishment and care, it would be extremely difficult for the egg to continue incubating.
Break the eggshell and devour the flesh and blood inside?
To be honest, this idea had always been tempting Grim.
Ever since he converted to the Star Beast Bloodline, Grimm had been drooling over the flesh and blood of high-level creatures. Their flesh and blood, their souls, everything about them was a kind of nourishment to the Star Beast bloodline.
In order to affect Grimm's Star Beast Bloodline, the high-level creature had to be at least rank 4.
This meant that the flesh and blood of magic beasts below rank 4 had almost no effect on Grimm!
Grimm's daily meals could only satisfy his cravings. If he wanted to eat to replenish his energy and stamina, only those rank 4 magic energy meals could do so.
However, rank 4 magic beasts were extremely rare even in the Magus World.
Unless it was a powerful Magus family, who would eat the flesh and blood of a rank 4 magic beast so easily?
Of course, there were still a few rank 4 dragons in the Lance Plane.
However, none of them were easy to deal with. Even if Grimm was at his peak, he would not have complete confidence in dealing with even one of them. Not to mention that these fellows all had groups of subordinates, and their own battle prowess was outstanding. They were not as easy to deal with as lone rank 4 magic beasts.
At this thought, Grimm could not help but narrow his eyes as he began to ponder.
Perhaps he could spread some news within the scattered towers and purchase information on the locations of the rank 4 magic beasts in the Dark Forest. Then, he could gather his family's manpower to encircle them. This would become a daily routine that he would have to do for a long time to come.
As for devouring this giant egg, it would definitely benefit Grimm's bloodline.
However, it felt like a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure!
Perhaps there was a better and more complete method …
At this thought, Grimm could not help but order, "A.I. Chip, search for the method to use this giant egg."
[Beep. Mission accepted … Searching for data …]
As expected, the information that the A.I. Chip found covered hatching, devouring, blood sacrifice, breeding and many other aspects. The most cost-effective method was to hatch this little feathered serpent and nurture it into a terrifying divine creature.
However, this process would take up to a thousand years, and it would require the consumption of all sorts of precious resources. In truth, Grimm did not have the confidence to wait until this little feathered serpent matured.
The other method was to use the blood sacrifice method, using the strange bloodline of the little feathered serpent to nourish Grimm's body. According to the A.I. Chip's calculations, if everything went smoothly, not only would Grimm be able to repair the damage to his soul, he would also be able to increase the potential of his vitality and bloodline.
Hence, Grimm did not hesitate at all and chose the blood sacrifice method.
Following Grimm's choice, the A.I. Chip immediately projected a list of items in his mind.
These were all necessary resources for the blood sacrifice ceremony.
Grimm took out a blank spell scroll and placed it on his forehead, etching the list of items into it. He then drew a line with his finger, and a dense red light tore a small hole in the space. Only then did Grimm stuff the spell scroll into it.
While he was doing all this, Gargamel, who was in the Crimson Wings' Wizard's Pagoda far away in the Elovis region, was crouched in front of a desk and writing furiously. Emelia and Ai Wa accompanied him by his side, helping him deal with many family affairs.
Suddenly, a cluster of red light appeared above his head and tore a small hole in the space. Then, a magic scroll with flashing red runes fell on his desk.
"These are the items I need recently. Collect them and send them to the Blazing Flame Monarch as soon as possible. If you find anything difficult to find, remember to report it to me … "
As soon as the Gargamel touched the flame rune on the scroll, Grim's deep and dignified voice came out. Following which, the Witchcraft Scroll unfurled and a dense array of words was projected out.
"One Tier 4 Soul Altar …"
"30 grams of hops …"
"A set of high-rank Spirit Shifting Tools …"
"One Soul Fixation Crystal …"
…
…
Row after row, row after row, almost all of them were top-notch Magus resources that were extremely hard to find.
Even with Gargamel's vast experience over the years, he had only heard of many resources and had never seen them before. Thus, the moment he received the list of items, he frowned, his face full of hesitation and awkwardness.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Emelia maintained a calm expression, "It's not like the family master doesn't know where our family's resources are. If there are any, send them over first. If there aren't, borrow them from the other families. "
Hearing his daughter's explanation, Gargamel felt slightly more at ease.
"Give Meryl a copy of this list as well, and we'll try our best to gather the resources. Since the family master has said so, he must be in urgent need of them. I'll pay a visit to those few rank 4 organisations. "
"No, father. Don't be in such a hurry." Emelia's eyes turned, and she could not help but smile sweetly, "Lady Mary has just advanced to rank 4, so our family will definitely hold a celebration. Let this news spread first, and pay them a visit on the eve of the celebration. The prosperity of our Crimson Family is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. When the time comes, do you still have to worry about not being able to borrow these resources? "
Gargamel pondered for a moment, and then nodded in approval.
As the news of Mary's advancement spread, the Magus world in the Taryn region was once again thrown into turmoil.
This time, let alone the small and mid-ranked Magus families, even the dozen or so rank 4 organisations could not sit still. Among them, no one was more excited than the vampire families.
In the central continent, there had not been a rank 4 Vampire for thousands of years!
Thus, be it the slightly famous Vampire families or the Vampire Magi who lived in seclusion, they could not control their restless blood and rushed to the Crimson Family.
In less than a month, there were already four Vampire families that submitted to Mary, and the Crimson Family now had six rank 3 Vampires!
Of course, before they submitted to Mary, these Vampire families all had their own territories in the Taryn region. Thus, with the emergence of small enclaves, the Crimson Family's influence quickly spread to five regions.
The Vampires also quickly rose to become the most tyrannical group within the Crimson Family, and they had the most potential to develop!
An ordinary Magus family actually had two rank 4 Magi at the same time, and the relationship between these two rank 4 Magi was not ordinary, and it was very likely that they were a couple.
In truth, after hearing this news, all the rank 4 organisations in the central continent felt an oppressive aura.
