Chapter 278: A Great Harvest
“Haha…”
“He’s dead!”
“He finally died in my hands!”
“Mother, husband, did you see? I’ve avenged you!”
Amidst the rubble, Duke Ferdinand’s massive corpse fell to the ground, while Mevia laughed maniacally.
Oriana knelt beside her, weeping with tears streaming down her face.
Although Duke Ferdinand was killed, Mevia was also fatally wounded and had little time left.
Especially now, with Mevia’s heightened emotions, her wounds were constantly bleeding, and her life force was rapidly declining.
She might die soon.
“Karl.”
“I’m here.”
Karl, who was watching from the sidelines, looked up at the sound:
“What are your orders, Your Highness?”
“This time, thanks to your help, our agreement has been fulfilled.” Mevia took off the leather pouch from Ferdinand’s waist and took out a few items from her person and threw them over:
“As agreed, they are yours.”
Karl’s gaze shifted to the shuttle on the ground.
“The Shuttle of the Goddess of Fate is a sixth-order divine artifact; this one can’t be the real thing.” Mevia’s expression didn’t change:
“And the power on it has been completely exhausted. If you want it… you can take it directly.”
“However, the Shadow God’s Skin and Dark Night divine artifacts belong to Oriana.”
This was agreed upon before they acted.
The corpse belonged to Mevia, and the rest of the items would be split evenly between Karl and Oriana.
That leather pouch was also a divine artifact, and it definitely contained many items, so it was also valued as a divine artifact, which meant that each of them had obtained two divine artifacts.
In addition, there were some agreed-upon extras.
“Okay.” Karl nodded, reached out to pick up the Shuttle of Fate from the ground, and finally glanced at the two women.
Accompanied by a flash of lightning, his figure disappeared.
“Go!”
Watching Karl’s figure disappear, Mevia’s voice deepened:
“Take the corpse and leave this place. I won’t last long. If he comes back, you won’t be a match for him.”
“…Yes.” Oriana responded.
Although she trusted Karl’s character, this matter was a matter of life and death, so one could never be too careful.
Moreover, the two women possessed four divine artifacts, and one was severely injured while the other was dying. Who could guarantee that Karl wouldn’t become greedy?
“Hundreds of years ago, when the celestial spheres converged, beings from other worlds came to our world through the void passages.”
“Your father was one of the outsiders…”
Mevia leaned on Oriana’s back, her eyes dazed, and she murmured:
“He was handsome and powerful, attracting many women with demigod bloodlines, and I was one of them.”
“…”
“The Three Plates Technique was passed down to an existence called ‘Great Wizard’ in another world. I learned the first part from your father and refined his Blue-Eyed Spirit Fox bloodline, which allowed me to become a third-order being under the suppression of the laws of this world.”
“Ferdinand always wanted to obtain this technique. He even used me to get close to him. Later, when things were exposed, he captured your father and forced him to reveal the technique…”
“Your father and my mother both died at Ferdinand’s hands. If he knew that I had obtained the technique, I’m afraid I wouldn’t survive either.”
She whispered, her voice growing weaker and her body colder.
“Mother!” Oriana’s eyes were filled with tears:
“Don’t speak anymore. Let’s find a place to heal first.”
“There’s no need to waste your energy.” Mevia gently shook her head. She wasn’t afraid of death:
“I should go find your father now, and my mother. Remember to go to the place I told you about.”
“From there, you can go to the world where your father came from. Take our ashes there when the time comes.”
“He always wanted to go back and see it.”
“Remember, you must refine the bloodlines within me and Ferdinand, and then use the secret techniques recorded in the Three Plates Technique to ignite the Divine Fire of the God of Slumber. This is what Ferdinand always wanted to do but couldn’t.”
“With the Divine Fire, demigods have a chance to become deities…”
“Mother!” Oriana suddenly turned her head, raising her voice:
“Mother!”

“Swish!”
Karl’s figure appeared in the direction where the two women had left, shaking his head helplessly at the empty ground.
“Lack of trust…”
“But that’s normal.”
Those were four divine artifacts, as well as various top-tier secret technique inheritances. Anyone would be tempted.
He was no exception.
However, Karl didn’t intend to forcefully seize them. Instead, he wanted to ask Oriana if she was willing to trade.
He also had many good things on him.
Too bad.
โโโ
Mevia had been wary of him. The residual auras in the area were mixed and unclear, making it impossible to find them.
“Oh well!”
“I’ve also gained a lot this time, and…”
“There’s an unexpected surprise!”
Tossing the leather pouch in his hand, a hint of joy appeared in Karl’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but curve his lips into a slight smile.
…………
Divine Domain Fragment.
Karl took stock of his gains this time.
“A divine artifact Void Pouch, a Shuttle of Fate that has lost its divine power, and a lot of good things inside the Void Pouch.”
The Void Pouch was a divine artifact refined by the God of Craftsmanship, and its inner space was large enough to hold dozens of mountains.
It was said that.
The God of Craftsmanship’s own Void Leather Pouch could hold a world.
With such a thing, Duke Ferdinand definitely carried important items with him, which was why Karl said his gains were plentiful.
Five divine techniques!
Unfortunately, the divine techniques of this world required a divine bloodline to cultivate, making them useless to him.
Thirteen holy techniques.
These were somewhat useful, but the Holy Demon Transformation and Thousand Buddha Hands that Karl currently cultivated were already top-tier holy techniques. Although the holy techniques he had obtained now were good, they weren’t worth spending a lot of effort to cultivate.
However, they could be used as stepping stones to increase his martial arts foundation.
“Grains?”
Enough grains to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year, piled up like a sharp mountain in the Void Pouch, extremely eye-catching.
No!
It was a mountain of grains.
“This world previously lacked food. These things are valuable, but what use are they to me?”
Shaking his head, Karl searched again for useful items.
Great God’s Grace Coins: seventy-three.
Converted Source Essence: 7.3.
Various books, weapons, armor, artworks, gemstones, pearls, marvels…
Duke Ferdinand had ruled over a dukedom for hundreds of years, and he had also picked up many good things during the War of the Gods.
Besides the gold, silver, and jewelry used by mortals, there were also many second-order and even third-order marvels, as well as various magic plants.
“Huh?”
Something resembling a spearhead caught Karl’s attention.
This item was hidden by Ferdinand in an inconspicuous corner of the Void Leather Pouch, but it was stored on a specially constructed altar, as if he both respected and feared something.
“This is…”
“A spearhead?”
It was indeed a spearhead, but it wasn’t complete. It should be part of a complete spearhead.
The spearhead was covered in rust, and there was a trace of dark, dull blood on it.
“Hmm?”
Holding the spearhead, Karl’s eyes twitched, as if sensing something incredible. He subconsciously reached out and gently touched the trace of blood on the spearhead.
Instantly.
Terrifying, vast, and powerful energy erupted from his fingertips, and the Divine Domain Fragment trembled as if an earthquake had struck.
Source Essence!
A massive amount of Source Essence came rushing in.
Source Essence +377!
Karl’s eyes widened, and his breath hitched. Even the absolute rationality of the Divine Domain Fragment couldn’t stop him from losing his composure for a moment.
Just an inconspicuous bloodstain, not even a proper bloodstain, actually contained so much Source Essence.
Comparable to several powerful demigods.
This…
“Whose blood is this?”
Actually, Karl had a guess in his mind, but he couldn’t quite believe it.
“God-Slaying Spear?”
“The blood of the Moon Goddess?”
