[Second Update]
The souls of the two Oracles were a hundred times more miserable than Salin had imagined. Gao Fei and Gesika had also forcefully increased their rank when danger approached. However, they had relied more on the equipment left behind by the Goddess.
The equipment itself was a set. Although it was also level-15, the materials were far inferior to the Spear of Order.
The Spear of Order was refined from the body of a God, and contained a miniature God Kingdom. A miniature God Kingdom could accommodate hundreds of millions of believers to survive and reproduce. The power it could contain was enormous.
The two semi-circular belts left behind by the Goddess Myers had to be combined to exert their power. In the end, they were destroyed by the Black Satan, and the equipment was destroyed by Salin's lightning. Their divine spells only left behind a pair of Soul Stones. Within the Soul Stones, Gao Fei and Gesika's souls had already been shattered. They were still working hard to repair themselves with the little power left behind by the Goddess. They had not lost their consciousness.
Salin observed the two Soul Stones and finally saw some of the mysteries of the soul.
"Which one of you wants to lure me into fighting that monster?" The souls of the Oracles looked the same. Salin's Elemental Eye could not distinguish the subtle differences between the souls, nor could he visualize the original form of the soul. If he advanced to level-10, he might be able to see the original appearance of the soul.
"Blasphemer, do you know who we are!" Gao Fei's voice came from the Soul Stone. Salin immediately grabbed it and laughed.
"I don't care who you are. If you want to harm me, you have to accept punishment."
"I am the Goddess's Oracle. You have her power in you. Do you know the consequences of killing me?" Gao Fei's voice did not sound like she was seriously injured at all.
Salin was not afraid of her at all. The Black Satan's soul was strong and could still threaten him. As for this Oracle, he could just use a skill like Soul Shock to completely destroy him. The power of life and death was in his hands. No matter how extravagant the Oracle's words were, Salin would not be shaken.
His current mentality was more and more in line with Jason's requirements. There was no turning back on the path of a Mage. One could only move forward and not leave any path of retreat for himself.
Salin thought, I've already used my family badge to shoot you two. Do you think I can go back and resurrect you? Since you've done it, don't regret it. Just like you lured me down there. If he went down, he would definitely be killed by that monster. Of course, his counterattack before death would be enough to affect the situation. When a 9th Rank High Mage had powerful equipment, their fighting strength would be quite frightening. In ancient times, Salin could also join the huge Planar Battlefield as an elite soldier.
"The consequences of killing you are indeed severe." Although Gao Fei couldn't see his expression, she could feel the danger from his tone.
"I carry the mission of the Goddess of Nature …"
"I know." Salin interrupted Gao Fei and said, "Me too."
"What?!"
"Surprised?"
"Ha, ha ha ha ha ha! It doesn't surprise me that every century or two, someone tries to do it. You're just the latest unlucky one. "Gao Fei laughed maniacally. He sensed the deep hostility in Salin's voice and did not try to persuade Salin.
"Unlucky? I think so too, so since you are her Oracle, I won't stand on ceremony. "
Hearing Gao Fei's words, Salin was not surprised, but comforted. It seemed that he wasn't the only one chosen. On the continent, every few years, someone would try to find the Shrine of Goddess Myers, and every century or two, someone would sign a contract with the Goddess.
He wasn't the only one chosen, but one of the countless unlucky ones. How could Goddess Myers pin the hope of resurrection on a low-level Mage? Salin now completely understood the cause and effect.
Before the Goddess fell, she created a batch of Blessing Rings. Anyone who could help her resurrect could only reach the Shrine after obtaining the rings. If he hadn't signed the contract, he would probably have died there. Otherwise, the news about the Goddess would have spread throughout the continent.
This Oracle, Gao Fei, knew that it would only be a matter of three to five days before his soul dissipated. No one would be able to save him, so he began to act recklessly. In his battle with the Black Heavens Demon God, he was unknowingly affected by the Black Heavens Demon God's power. If he still had his body, he could naturally use a divine spell to eliminate this terrible power, but now he only had his soul left. There were countless cracks on his soul, and the hidden dangers left behind by the battle with the Black Satan were breaking out one by one.
Between people of the same level, there was a huge gap in power. Salin was a level-nine Magic Shooter, but a Mage of the same level was definitely no match for Salin. This didn't include Salin's special equipment.
Eye of Lightning, Crystal Finger, these two skills, and the Cloud Walking Spell, which allowed him to double the speed of a Mage of the same level, made it so that Salin didn't have many opponents among the level-nine Mages.
Those who could fight against Salin were all at the peak of level-nine, and would step into level-ten at any time.
Gao Fei was about to die, so he spoke without any scruples. Salin sneered, grabbed the other Soul Stone, and said, "You're about to die too, speak your mind."
Gesica was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "I should have died long ago. Living until now is boring. Do it."
Salin could, of course, crush the Soul Stone and make the two Oracles disappear from this plane. But these two guys still had value, and Salin certainly wouldn't let the Oracles die so easily.
The Grandmaster and Cain both believed that the appearance of the Gods weakened the power of the Myers Continent. Salin basically believed in this point of view. He saw with his own eyes how the Infant God treated his believers.
The Gods treated their believers as lambs, and the lambs had to be protected very well, but what would happen after the lambs grew up? They would be used for shearing, or killed for meat.
Humans herded lambs, and the Gods herded believers. It was the same principle.
"You can't die. My subordinates just happen to lack souls like you. Bing, get ready to absorb the two of them," Salin said and took out the Blessing Ring. Now, the Blessing Ring was filled with the Power of Faith collected by the Infant God. Salin condensed the Power of Faith into liquid and poured a little on the two Soul Stones.
The pure Power of Faith surged in, and the souls of the two Oracles recovered rapidly.
Of course, Salin wasn't going to resurrect these two guys. If they really survived, it wouldn't do him any good. Especially since the other party already knew about the relationship between him and the Goddess. If they really resurrected, they would supervise all of his actions from now on. Everything had to be done with one goal — to help the Goddess resurrect.
Feeling that the souls of the two Oracles had mostly recovered, and the cracks on them had disappeared, Salin crushed the Soul Stones coldly, and the two souls were absorbed into the Winged Skeleton's eye sockets.
In the Winged Skeleton's eye sockets, the Soul Fire condensed into the form of an eye again, and it wouldn't jump like the other departed souls. In each of the Winged Skeleton's eyes, there was a Crimson Soul Tower. Gao Fei and Geosyka's souls flew into each eye, and they were absorbed by the Winged Skeleton's Crimson Soul Tower.
Gao Fei and Geosyka were still in shock. When they saw the Power of Faith condensed into liquid, they thought that Salin had robbed a God. However, they soon realized that the Power of Faith belonged to the Goddess of Nature! The souls of the Oracles fell into a panic, and they were absorbed by the Winged Skeleton without any resistance.
After entering the Crimson Soul Tower, the Winged Skeleton erased their memories without hesitation. Two powerful souls sat on the thirteenth floor of the Crimson Soul Tower.
Geosyka and Gao Fei's souls looked up, and they saw an endless sky above the Soul Tower. In the sky, a huge figure looked down from above.
Was that their God? Why did it feel so unfamiliar?
A God shouldn't look like this. It was a pale golden skeleton, and there was a pair of bone wings on its back. In the chest cavity of the skeleton, a golden heart was beating, and strange energy was transmitted to every bone. Then, the energy circulated and flowed back into the golden heart.
After staring at each other for a long time, the two Oracles knelt down and worshipped the Winged Skeleton's soul projection. The Winged Skeleton didn't absorb their Power of Faith. Instead, it converted the Power of Faith into pure Soul Energy to strengthen its Crimson Soul Tower. The Power of Faith of the two Oracles was too strong. Even if it wasted more than half of it after conversion, the Winged Skeleton could still feel that its Crimson Soul Tower was becoming stronger.
This was the real use of the Crimson Soul Tower. The souls in the tower used their own power to strengthen the cage. When the cage was strong enough, the Winged Skeleton would then extract the power to fight for itself.
Seeing that the Winged Skeleton was fine, Salin took out the next item from the Dimension Stone.
It was half a piece of broken stone. Its original shape should be that of a shield. Salin's Elemental Eye scanned it, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the mottled marks on the half stone badge.
This was a piece of Rule Equipment. It was a pity that it had been destroyed by that monster.
Salin's judgment was right. The Black Satan had only recovered its power after devouring this half of the badge. In fact, if this badge had been complete, the Black Satan would have broken through the Realm Restraints and advanced to level-13, or even higher. However, there were still countless natural mageweaths in this badge, and Salin couldn't bear to discard them.
Rule Power was what Salin yearned for. The Rule Power in this half of the badge was obviously much stronger than that of the Rule Sword. Salin hadn't thought about the use of this badge, so he kept it in his Godfiend ring.
The last item in the Dimension Stone was taken out by Salin. It was a jade ring, and there were 24 Divine Runes carved on the inside of the ring. Salin's lightning attack hadn't damaged the ring at all.
Salin held the ring in a daze. How was this jade? In terms of material, this ring was the sturdiest thing Salin had ever seen, apart from his family badge and level-19 Star Condensation Needle.
The strange material piqued Salin's interest. If he hadn't been in a hurry to go to the Golden Plains, Salin would have immediately studied this ring to find out what it was.
