In the afternoon, Chen Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and lay on the bed enjoying himself, humming.
A pair of palms kneaded his shoulders with moderate force and professional technique.
Betty's sudden application of lateral gravity really frightened him, but in terms of power, as long as all the muscles in his body were tense, he wouldn't be hurt.
Now I can enjoy Betty's massage, but she has forgiven myself.
"Come on, tell me what it feels like to gain abilities." Chen Ren asked curiously about the process of gaining abilities. He himself didn't know the reason, and the blood condensation beads had no reaction to him.
According to legend, there were originally two gods in this world, living in the sky and the ocean respectively. They created everything in the world.
But at some point, there was a rift between the two gods and they stopped contacting each other.
Until a sacred tree suddenly appeared in the world, the gods fought fiercely, the mountain peaks collapsed, the sea water capsized, and ancient times were burned to the ground.
The sea of clouds we see now was formed during the war.
The divine tree's spiritual intelligence is not low in nature. Seeing the world collapse due to its own appearance, it cannot bear the suffering of living beings, so it burns its own will to bind the two gods at the same time and pull them into the void together.
The blood coagulation bead is the blood that the gods swayed in battle. After the erosion of time, the divinity has been eroded and condensed into a round bead. Only when it encounters a creature with a strong will will it turn into blood again as a carrier of ability.
The sacred tree suppresses the two gods in the void, absorbs their abilities and turns them into leaves hanging on the branches, waiting for the right person to appear and give them to him.
"When the blood came into contact with the beads, I was in a trance. When I came back to my senses, I had already seen the sacred tree, and the glow filled the sky like a fairyland. Then a leaf detached from the branch, turned into my body and disappeared."
"Then it came out. The transparent ball in my hand turned into a pool of golden blood and penetrated along the wound. I suddenly felt gravity and could even control it with my will." Betty recalled the situation at that time,
He looked very excited. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to show where the divine blood had penetrated into his body.
It is no exaggeration to say that Betty has completed the transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix.
Chen Ren saw the excitement on her face and felt happy for her. He still can't forget the joy that the system's awakening brought him when he was struggling in the quagmire. He will never forget it for the rest of his life.
Seeing Betty's displayed arm, her smile suddenly froze. The arm that was originally evenly covered in wheat color now had four raised white scars on it, and the uneven surface occupied the entire forearm.
He stretched out his hand to gently touch the scar, his expression showing remorse. This time, he misjudged the opponent's strength, and his own crew had to bear the consequences.
This kind of healing marks should be caused by only using the healing liquid and being exhausted from not sleeping for three days.
"The arms don't look good, captain, please don't dislike it." Betty lowered her head and whispered softly, with a sense of grievance in her tone, and she observed her captain's expression out of the corner of her eye.
"No, you are the cutest navigator in my heart." He held back the tears that were about to fall in the corners of his eyes and smiled.
At the age when I love beauty the most, I have four scars on my body. How could I not care about it? It’s just that it’s hard to show it in front of myself.
He will always remember this wound as the price of his arrogance. It is the consequences of his reckless actions and impulsiveness.
"Captain, I can now exert five times the force of gravity in a large area, and up to ten times in a small area." Betty was the first to change the subject. She could see that the captain was blaming herself for the scar on her arm.
"Then next, we need to train our physical strength and understand our abilities. You are just a beginner and it is the most important thing to familiarize yourself with your abilities." Chen Ren retracted his palm and began to explain to the navigator the realm and important matters of the Divine Blooded One.
Those with divine blood are divided into levels according to the divine blood in their body. When the divine blood accounts for 1% to 10% of the total blood volume in the body, it is the first stage of embracing.
The proficiency stage needs to occupy more than 10%. The more divine blood in the body at this stage, the easier it is to use the ability and the greater the range of its power.
The next stage is fusion, where the divine blood spreads out and merges with one's own blood. The ability can be used as desired, the triggering speed is accelerated, the consumption is reduced, and the divine blood begins to nourish the host body and enhance the physical strength. The divine blood needs to reach more than 30% before fusion can be attempted.
"The next realms should wait until you reach the fusion stage, and practice as fast as you can. Each subsequent realm is more powerful than the last, and it is possible for the last person to destroy an island."
"Boom, boom, boom" the courtyard door suddenly knocked, interrupting the conversation between the two.
His interest was interrupted, and Chen Ren looked unhappy. He had no good impressions of anyone in the palace. However, the injury on his body had not healed yet, and he could only stay in the palace temporarily if he needed to recover from his injuries.
The courtyard door opened, and a resolute man in silver armor was seen standing outside.
"Master Chen, I have offended many people a few days ago."
The voice sounded familiar, but I had never seen it before.
"Are you the heavy-armored guard on the mountain that day?" He frowned and asked a little uncertainly.
"Yes, today is my king's celebration banquet, and I would like to invite Mr. Chen to come." The resolute man's voice was low and calm, as if he had forgotten what happened in the temple.
"Heh." Chen Ren sneered, his face instantly darkened. He remembered clearly that the guard was in the temple at that time. Now he wants to pretend that nothing happened? Are you kidding me?
The originally delicate face now revealed a fierce look, and the eyes revealed disgust.
"This is a deal. Mr. Chen is going to attend the celebration banquet and stabilize the court. We will provide three healing fruits to the crow." Even the tone of the guard did not change. It was obvious that he or they were not interested in this situation.
Already expected it.
Did something notice that the briquettes had eaten the healing fruit? It didn't see anything special in its perspective at that time. There was suspicion in its heart, but it didn't show on its face.
"We need to discuss this" and then turned around and closed the door, all at once.
When she walked back to the back room, Betty was rubbing the crow's wings with one hand. The soft and fluffy feel made her want to stop and she laughed.
"Coal briquettes, does the healing fruit have any restrictions on you? Was there anything strange around you when you ate the fruit?" Seeing this scene, he felt a lot better, his brows stretched, and he asked the crow in a low voice his doubts.
As for the king's banquet, if briquettes can eat healing fruits, it's okay to go there.
"Gah" Coal Ball shook his head first, then nodded.
The healing fruit can indeed be eaten without any side effects, and there is indeed one exception.
The wings fell on the owner's palm, his forehead was lowered, his eyes were in contact with the palm, and the ninth branch of Ya Temple appeared in front of Chen Ren's eyes.
The difference is that there seems to be a layer added to the picture, and various kinds of precious auras emerge. It should be that the briquettes have grown. In the past, the precious auras were just white ones, but now they are not only different but also more specific.
The green and red precious energy chases and bites the giant tree. The red awns have completely taken over the root system, winding up to occupy the entire ninth branch, and use this as a base to hunt the giant tree.
