Chapter 440: Chapter 440 - 252: The Divine Son’s Arrival
He collected his thoughts and asked in a low voice, "He’s been troubled by his Talent recently. The Divine Dawn Level Talent... can it only be achieved by birth?"
"A Divine Dawn Talent... from birth, one has the ability to ignite Morning Fire..." The Faceless Ghost’s voice was long and drawn-out. "But to reach the Divine Dawn Level is incredibly difficult..."
’Born with the ability to ignite Morning Fire?’
’There’s a benefit like that? Wouldn’t that make the Melting Holy Profession quick and easy? But how come I’ve never heard of anything like this?’
Su Chen’s heart stirred. ’Incredibly difficult’ wasn’t the same as impossible. He quickly asked, "Please, show me the solution, so I can give that person a proper explanation."
"Let him become my believer, and I will naturally help him solve it," the Faceless Ghost replied.
’Become your believer?’ Su Chen was at a loss for words. ’If he really becomes your believer, what the hell is there to solve?’
’Does this guy actually know, or not?’ He was starting to have his doubts.
But as a Believer, he couldn’t very well press the issue.
After a moment of thought, he asked again, "Great Faceless God, there is one more thing. Recently, several Morning Star Tier members from the Bronze Sect, along with some from the Royal Court, have mysteriously disappeared. Do you happen to know the reason why?"
"If you know, I will relay it to him. He will surely feel your supreme might."
"They’re trapped in the Lost Flame." This time, the Faceless Ghost answered directly.
’He really does know.’ Su Chen was surprised. He asked again, "But they seemed to have disappeared from within the Royal Court, and the Lost Flame... it doesn’t seem to be located in the Royal Court..."
"I’m not questioning you, of course. It’s just that I need to give him a proper explanation."
"They thought they could explore the Nether Realm while avoiding the risks. But the Lost Flame was far beyond their ability to handle. Even their physical bodies were dragged in." The Faceless Ghost revealed the reason, a hint of mockery in its voice. "A bunch of fools."
’So that’s what happened...’ Su Chen realized. ’This guy really does know a lot.’ He was tempted to ask what secrets the Lost Flame held.
But before he could respond, the Faceless Ghost spoke up first. "To be concerned about such matters, who is this high-ranking member of the Sect you’re in contact with?"
After these two questions, it seemed the Faceless Ghost had become genuinely interested.
Su Chen had already prepared his answer. "His name is Fan Zhao, a disciple of Qin Yun."
"Fan Zhao? I know of him," the Faceless Ghost said knowingly. "You’ve done well. Keep a good relationship with him. I may need his cooperation for something soon."
The Faceless Ghost had given a direct order. Su Chen’s heart tightened slightly. "Please, give me your instructions."
"The Faceless Divine Son and the Black Tuo Divine Son will arrive shortly. You are to receive them and cooperate with their actions."
Su Chen was shocked. ’The Faceless Ghost Divine Son and the Black Tuo Divine Son are actually coming to the Bronze Sect?’
’They’re working together?’
’Then what I just said about the Black Tuo Followers...’ Su Chen grew a little nervous, but he immediately realized that this kind of cooperation must have its limits. The two Deceitful Gods would never share everything with each other.
"The Divine Sons are actually coming..." He feigned an excited look. "Is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"
"No need. They will be arriving at Canglan Star very soon. Just go there and wait for their summons." The Faceless Ghost didn’t reveal much more.
Su Chen could only say, "I will carry out your will. But what if Fan Zhao becomes suspicious because of this, or even tries to move against me in secret?"
"Act according to the situation. You don’t have to force his cooperation." It seemed to the Faceless Ghost that this was just a casual move; it would be great if it succeeded, but it wouldn’t matter if it failed.
"I will obey your command." Su Chen nodded. He then asked again about the secrets of the Lost Flame, but unfortunately, the Faceless Ghost had no intention of revealing them to "Fan Zhao" and did not respond.
On the ground, the glow from the faceless humanoid symbol gradually faded. After wiping it away completely, he collected the three portions of Divine Power into his panel and returned to reality.
He didn’t break down the Divine Power. Instead, he directly forged it into essence.
Su Chen’s gaze was unfocused, his brow furrowed. "The Faceless Ghost Divine Son and the Black Tuo Divine Son are actually working together... Why?"
He recalled that when he had just mentioned Black Tuo secretly deploying Believers to target Su Chen, the Faceless Ghost seemed to have a strange reaction.
’Could it be that they’re targeting me? The Faceless Ghost thought Black Tuo was cooperating with it, only to discover that Black Tuo was also making secret arrangements on the side?’
At this thought, Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat. ’That old bastard Black Tuo, it seems he hasn’t given up yet.’
’He has a Believer here stirring up trouble with Divine Blood, and now he’s even sent a Divine Son directly, roping in the Faceless Ghost as well.’
’The Faceless Ghost lineage is famous for its Concealment abilities, and this is a Divine Son Level threat. If they really manage to infiltrate...’
’No, I have to report them. Report them immediately!’
Su Chen’s first instinct was to use the Sect’s power. The matter wasn’t necessarily difficult—he just had to confirm the identities of the two Divine Sons...
But he’d probably have to make the trip himself, Su Chen thought carefully.
’And the Divine Dawn Talent... it seems even more incredible than I imagined.’
"These Deceitful Gods are hiding a lot of good stuff. I need to think carefully about how to fleece them for all of it. Just tricking them won’t be enough; I have to let them see some results too..."
Before long, there was a sound from outside. It was Ming Lin, who had returned with three portions of Mid-tier Faceless Ghost Divine Power.
Su Chen reached out and took them, silently absorbing the power and beginning the forging process.
At the same time, he took out three Mother Stones and gave them to Ming Lin, instructing, "From now on, don’t buy any more Faceless Ghost Divine Power. Continue buying Cunning Fox Divine Power instead."
"We’re switching again?" Ming Lin was surprised but nodded in agreement.
No one had been watching him lately. Plus, with his official identity on the patrol team and his growing experience, he was becoming more and more careful. While not completely silent, he left almost no clues behind.
After finishing their business, Su Chen finally asked, "Canglan Star, where is it located?"
This was the place the Faceless Ghost had mentioned, where the two Divine Sons would soon arrive.
"Canglan..." Ming Lin pondered for a moment before saying, "It’s not too far from Copper Heart. If you take a Teleportation Route, it’s about a three-day trip. I often unload my goods there."
