I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 488. What is a Sacred Remains?
Xia Feng didn't actually need to absorb the honey, but he still had to act, so he started to focus on speeding up his absorption.

At the same time, he discovered that he had grown a little taller and his bone age had increased by one year.

It's estimated that he'll grow a year older each day until he returns to the physical state he was in when he committed suicide in the Sea of ​​Calamity.

"Stand still."

Jiang Qiu'e knelt in front of him, wiped the honey stains from the corners of his lips, changed him into a new set of clothes, combed his black hair, and tied his tie, making him look like a young nobleman.

But that's not the point. The point is that Xia Feng discovered that this fox demon seemed to be treating him like a pet.

The look in his eyes grew increasingly satisfied, even containing a hint of expectation, though it was unclear what he was expecting.

While Xia Feng was pondering, Jiang Qiu'e had already gently placed the black fox mask on his face.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see some old friends."

Xia Feng followed the woman in the green dress out of the castle. A dark hovercar was already parked outside. The blond youth leaned lazily against the front of the car, casually tossing his lighter into the air.

However, when the blond youth saw Jiang Qiu'e, he immediately put away his lighter and stood up straight, but then paused in surprise.

He looked thoughtfully at the boy following the saintess, who seemed to possess an extraordinary air about him. "And who is this?"

“Mu Feng, artificial life.” Jiang Qiu’e didn’t explain further and got into the car directly.

Yesterday, Saintess Qiu'e registered brief information about the artificial life form in the Vatican's database, so Gokudera Yasuto knew about it. He just didn't expect that this artificial life form seemed to have a very high level of intelligence.

A maid was in the driver's seat, while Gokudera Yasuto sat in the passenger seat, glancing sideways at the rearview mirror.

The boy was looking down at his phone screen, seemingly browsing various information related to the Black Moon Church. He was wearing a fox-face mask, so his expression couldn't be seen.

"What's the deal with the quota for Beiqiu Yuan?" Jiang Qiu'e's calm question pulled Gokudera Yasuto back to reality.

"The spot for entering the Abyss of Sorrow this year originally belonged to Yulina, but Saintess Lina died at the hands of the Peach Organization in Area 51 a year ago, so the spot is now vacant. According to the results of the discussions among the cardinals, the strongest of the three saintesses will get the spot."

Yasutoshi Gokudera paused, then said hesitantly, "This might mean that you have to fight the other two."

At this point, his tone was displeased, and he gave a cold laugh.

"This is clearly biased towards Olivia. Olivia was the first Saintess, and now she has reached the second level of the Venerable Realm. She is also a super genius on par with Ye Lishi and Jin Quehua. Who can beat her?"

Jiang Qiu'e's gaze was calm as she fell into deep thought.

Xia Feng was also somewhat surprised, not expecting the difference in strength between the four saintesses of the Black Moon Church to be so great.

Xia Feng had naturally seen the dead Yulina. The Dragon God's unexpected awakening was caused by Yulina's guardian knight.

Xia Feng remembered this Yulina; she seemed to only have a third-tier strength.
As for Chana Yuki, she was almost breaking through to the fourth rank a year ago, and she should be a fourth-rank spirit master now.

To be honest, Chana Xue is actually a genius. At 21 years old, she is a fourth-level spirit master. Such talent is among the top in the empire.

However, to determine whether a spirit master is a super genius, one must also consider the speed at which they learn A-grade spirit armor.

Many geniuses are able to quickly reach the fifth stage of cultivation.

However, the transition from the Fifth Rank to the True Martial Rank is an insurmountable barrier, where most geniuses experience a precipitous drop in their advancement speed, stagnating for decades. And the transition from the True Martial Rank to the Venerable Rank is another terrifying hurdle, blocking the progress of most geniuses.

Only the truly exceptional geniuses, those who rise to prominence within a mere century, are truly exceptional through the process of natural selection.

For example, Olivia, whom Gokudera Yasuto just mentioned, is someone Xia Feng found on the Black Moon Church's internal network.

At the age of 86, this saintess successfully advanced to the first level of the Venerable Realm, becoming the strongest saintess. She is now at the second level of the Venerable Realm.

Her knightly forces were therefore the largest, and many knightly legions were willing to follow this saintess.

The reason why the gap is so huge, and why Cha Nai Xue, Jiang Qiu E, and even the weakest Yu Lina can still become saintesses, is that the four of them are very compatible with the S-rank Spirit Robe: Moon God Domain.

As for how this so-called "fit" was determined, that remains unknown; Xia Feng did not find any relevant information on the internal network.

"Teacher, don't you think there's something wrong with the opening of the Sorrowful Hill Abyss this time?"

Yasuto Gokudera spoke again, asking with a puzzled look, "In the past, when the Abyss of Sorrow was opened, it was usually only the three major Vatican councils that would send people in."

"But this time, not only the three major churches, but also the seven families of the empire, the Yeli clan, the Golden Finch Flower, and even the Burning Heaven Temple are eager to make a move."

"Has some rare treasure been discovered in Beiqiu Abyss?"

Hearing his question, Jiang Qiu'e raised her eyes and said calmly, "Didn't your father tell you that a clue to the location of the Holy Remains has appeared? It's inside the Abyss of Sorrow."

Remains of a saint? Gokudera Yasuto was somewhat surprised. After a moment of contemplation, he chuckled softly.
"Over the years, various forces have used every means to compete for the Holy Relic and the Sumeru Throne. Unexpectedly, before the final battle for the Sumeru Throne has even begun, the Holy Relic has already shown its signs."

Xia Feng listened silently from the side, while his fingers tapped lightly, silently entering 'Holy Remains' and 'Sumeru Throne' into the Black Moon Church's internal network to search for relevant information.

As a kind of artificial intelligence, the swarm will naturally needs to input a large amount of external information to expand its knowledge base. Therefore, Jiang Qiu'e will not doubt his thirst for knowledge and will even take the initiative to help him understand the world.

Of course, Xia Feng was still a little afraid that if this woman asked him questions or asked him to analyze something, he might really give himself away.

Soon, Xia Feng used his Saintess privileges to search for information about the Saint's Remains on the internal network.

Xia Feng quickly skimmed through it and roughly understood.

Among the astral gods, after a god falls, their authority may become a relic of the god, their divine status may shatter, and they may perish.

But the Three Holy Star Gods are different. After their fall, their divine essence remained intact and could be inherited by other beings, who could then become the new Three Holy Star Gods!

He is also the only star god whose divinity can be inherited.

The sacred remains are the key to unlocking the inheritance of divinity!

Of course, there are many restrictions on inheriting a godhood, one of which is that one must have at least the strength of a sage.

But regardless, this is terrifying enough.

The divine essence of the strongest star god! If one inherits it, one will become invincible in this world!
No wonder that clues about the location of the holy remains appeared in the Abyss of Sorrow, attracting the attention of various forces.

What puzzled Xia Feng was that the Three Saints Star God was the only one whose divine title could be inherited, so how did Gong Changyi inherit the Eternal Day God title?

Xia Feng recalled the events at Liuzhuang, and wondered if the mysterious Dr. Liu, Liu Zheng'en, possessed some special abilities.
