Chapter 379: Celestial Tomb Mark! Is it Really a Gift?

Chapter 379: Celestial Tomb Mark! Is it Really a Gift?

"Go home!"

"Come, this is where you belong!"

"Celestial Tomb... eternal slumber..."

"Eternity... immortality... myths... will all come true here..."

"Come back..."

"Shut up!"

The incessant whispers in Su Ping's ears made him feel as if his soul was being drawn out.

Instinctively, he wanted to cover his ears.

He tried to block out the voice, but it seemed to lick and swirl within his mind, making it impossible to completely drown it out no matter how hard he covered his ears.

Celestial Tomb...

It was as if an endless call was trying to lure Su Ping into its depths.

Hoo...

Su Ping suddenly opened his eyes.

The white ceiling came into view, and the afternoon sunlight still shone through the window, casting its rays on the floor.

It seemed leisurely yet scorching.

However, he remembered that before he fell asleep, he was on the sofa, but this time, he was in a regular single bed.

It seemed to be an office room.

Beside him, Long Er quietly stood by, watching him, and no one else was there.

The figure he saw before falling into a stupor seemed like an illusion.

Su Ping blinked, momentarily dazed.

However, as if sensing the situation, Old Qin and Ray Saint soon entered the room, their footsteps echoing.

"Su Ping, how are you feeling? You've been asleep for about two hours."

Seeing their concerned expressions, Su Ping hesitated, shook his head, and then tentatively asked, "What about that person?"

Only then did Ray Saint speak:

"The Legend Lord has left. He checked your condition and found no issues with your soul, spirit, or vital signs. But... he needs to look up some information regarding certain aspects.

He said that after you reach Dragon City, he will thoroughly examine your specific condition. The facilities here are insufficient for a complete diagnosis. Also, he wants you to deal with the situation outside after you wake up.

Additionally, regarding this matter, the Legend Lord promised that the Eagle Nation will provide compensation and give you an explanation."

Su Ping nodded.

He could guess what the situation outside was like.

The press conference had ended in such a peculiar manner, and it was needless to say what kind of speculations the outside world would have about it.

If Su Ping didn't reappear in public, the public opinion would turn into a significant issue, affecting the image of Dragon Kingdom and beyond.

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, Dragon Kingdom's global image had indeed taken a hit from the Eagle Nation, and a significant event might unfold if Su Ping didn't show up.

But, at the very least, the situation within the Celestial Tomb had proven that, whether alive or dead, he had to go in and take a look.

Moreover, Charles had been clear about his intentions.

He seemed to have indeed obtained something within the Celestial Tomb, and to confront him in the future, Su Ping needed to understand his capabilities and origins.

Of course, more importantly, he still had another trump card up his sleeve.

The one-time talent he obtained from the Giant Dragon Codex, the Immortal Dragon Soul, was enough to make Su Ping take a risk.

However, the impact of this thing on him was too great.

Even meditating became difficult.

As soon as he tried to do something, he could hear the whispers of the undead.

Closing his eyes, the Celestial Grave seemed to be right before him.

He couldn't focus his mind at all.

Su Ping exhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down. Then, his consciousness immersed itself deep within his soul.

As expected, within the blurry perception, Su Ping saw that thing again.

That grayish-white flame.

This thing!

Instinctively, Su Ping reached out with his soul power to touch it.

As he expected, the insane murmurs of the Celestial Grave became more frequent and real.

Su Ping's face contorted in agony.

This was not just a simple sound; it was a torment for his mental will.

Such torment, aside from Su Ping not being a person of iron will, even if one had such unwavering determination, it would be difficult to resist this.

What should he do? Su Ping didn't know. It seemed that only by entering the Celestial Grave could he figure out what was going on and completely expel this thing.

However, within the depths of his soul, Su Ping soon noticed another mark.

A mark that he hadn't paid attention to before.

It was an origami beast.

Su Ping knew how this origami beast came to be.

It was a shadow mark obtained after the Origami Beast Codex reached LV5, according to the Omnipotent Beast Codex.

Even before, Su Ping had almost forgotten about this thing.

The reason was simple.

He didn't feel that this thing had any significant effect.

According to the Omnipotent Beast Codex's prompt, once the Origami Beast Codex reached its maximum level, the so-called origami beast's origin would be complete.

Then, within his consciousness, such a thing was formed.

In Su Ping's understanding, this so-called complete origin seemed to increase his allure to origami beasts, making them naturally more intimate and less hostile towards him.

It could reduce hostility, but that was the extent of its effect.

Su Ping hadn't discovered any other uses.

At this moment, deep within his soul, the mark of the origami beast, which existed alongside that grayish-white flame, gave Su Ping an idea.

That's right, he still had his cheat ability!

Su Ping smacked his forehead.

Deep within his soul, a codex was slowly opened.

Almost simultaneously, as the Omnipotent Beast Codex opened, it gave Su Ping an incredibly special prompt:

[Advanced Origin Power Detected, Accept?]



Su Ping hesitated for a moment, then instinctively chose 'Yes.'

The insane murmurs that had tormented him before, the voices that had caused him so much pain, vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Gone?

Was that it?

Su Ping blinked again.

He opened his eyes, then closed them once more.

As expected, within the formed soul, that peculiar grayish-white flame had completely vanished.

What rubbish!

Su Ping wanted to stretch his waist.

Then, Su Ping felt a surge of confidence, beginning to doubt his cheat ability.

Why didn't this so-called Celestial Grave mark automatically accept it? Too unintelligent!

It had made him anxious for half a day!

So, Su Ping quickly re-entered his consciousness into the Omnipotent Beast Codex. He also wanted to see what this so-called acceptance was all about.

With a thought, he entered the Omnipotent Beast Codex.

The feedback he received, however, shocked Su Ping.

[Advanced Origin Power (Accepting)]



[A strand of mark power containing a powerful origin, belonging to the undead origin power. Can be absorbed or released! After use, the will is erased, and the choice to enhance a beast in the Omnipotent Beast Codex below level 4, or to enhance a level 5 beast, is available!]



(Note: The current advanced origin power is too weak, and the effect of enhancing a level 5 beast is not obvious.)



As Su Ping felt the feedback from the Omnipotent Beast Codex, he almost instinctively wanted to choose to absorb it, adding it to the Origami Beast Codex.

Yes, it was for the Origami Beast Codex.

Not for any other undead beast codex.

Not only did he not have any undead beast codex with lit-up skills, but he also didn't have any below level 4, which was level 3, to maximize the enhancement.

Even if he did, Su Ping wouldn't consider them.

Because the value was completely disproportionate.

The enhancement of these other codices could be achieved through general experience and codex experience, but it was obvious that the gift Charles had given him was no ordinary thing.

Moreover, after the codex level reached level 5, it couldn't be enhanced further, at least not through experience. But now, he could use this so-called advanced origin power to continue enhancing, which had a completely different significance.

Therefore, even if the enhancement was weak, Su Ping almost wanted to try it out immediately.

But at the last moment, Su Ping slammed on the brakes.

There was no need to rush.

Now that he had a better understanding of the situation, Su Ping was indeed no longer in a hurry.

The most important thing was that this thing was luring him into the Celestial Tomb.

Perhaps he could guess what he might encounter.

First of all, he could be certain that whether it was the Celestial Grave Mark or Charles, their purpose was definitely not to kill him.

The fact that Charles repeatedly emphasized that they might not be enemies in the future was proof enough.

However, there was undoubtedly a plot, and it aimed to lure him into entering the Celestial Tomb.

Did this mean that within the Celestial Tomb, there was more of this so-called primal power? Could he obtain it, and if so, would it be enough to fully enhance the Origami Beast Codex?

Regardless, Su Ping had made up his mind; he was determined to enter the Celestial Tomb and take a look.

One must enter the tiger's den to catch the tiger's cubs.

Moreover, he had an ace up his sleeve that could guarantee his safety no matter what.

So, it seemed that there was no rush to absorb this Celestial Grave Mark?

Su Ping calmed his mind slightly, then tentatively chose to release the so-called Advanced Primal Source again.

As expected, after the release was complete, a grayish-white flame trace appeared in his soul once more.

Then, the repetitive murmurs and mutterings reappeared.

He could still activate the Omnipotent Beast Codex at any time to absorb it.

This put Su Ping completely at ease.

Indeed, he should never doubt the power of the cheat! At the same time, just as Su Ping was about to reabsorb the grayish-white flame that was constantly affecting him into the Omnipotent Beast Codex for safekeeping, a change occurred once again.

Su Ping's psychic energy stirred amidst the torment and tempering.

The ripples and fluctuations of his mind were boiling.

Su Ping had experienced this many times before, so he naturally knew what was happening!

His mental realm had broken through...

A week before the provincial examination, his realm had reached the same level as Qian Yi's, advancing to the Overlord 8th Rank.

This speed was already terrifying, and his meditation talent was excellent. Combined with the use of resources and the development of the Dream Heart, this speed was barely acceptable.

But today, at this very moment, his psychic energy had improved again!

This unusual fluctuation also caught the attention of the three people outside, who hurried into the office. They stared at the seated Su Ping, whose mental ripples left them momentarily speechless.

In fact, there was one thing these three had not told Su Ping.

Before leaving, that person had specifically instructed them, especially Long Two, who was by his side, to pay attention to Su Ping's mental state.

That strand of the mark might torment and hypnotize Su Ping's soul and spirit, so they must keep an eye on his condition.

That was why these three were not only not relaxed but also more nervous and concerned about Su Ping's state after he woke up.

However, what they didn't expect was that under such high pressure, this little guy not only endured but also broke through in his psychic energy?

Indeed, he had broken through.

Ten minutes later, Su Ping's psychic energy stabilized.

His realm was now firmly locked at the Overlord 9th Rank!

So, Su Ping could be sure of one thing.

This so-called Advanced Primal Source Mark, with its incessant murmurs and mutterings, was indeed tormenting, but as long as he could endure it, it was constantly tempering his psychic energy, almost every moment.

It was almost as effective as meditation.

So, for Su Ping, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing! He asked the three to believe in him. He was fine! No matter if it was Charles, the person behind him, or any country, he would not let them off in the future!

These words were spoken with determination and conviction.

The gazes of the three people in the room underwent a significant change as they listened.

Ray Saint and Long Two need no introduction.

Even Long Two, who seemed devoid of expression from start to finish, couldn't help but show a surge of emotion in his eyes as he looked at the target before him.

Before this, he was protected by her, a genius breeder, young but truly exceptional. He had made significant contributions to the breeding industry in Dragon Nation.

So, Long Two protected the young man before him willingly and respectfully.

But now, the words spoken by this young man genuinely made her feel a sense of reverence.

It was not just for the betterment and assistance of the Beastmaster industry in Dragon Nation, but also for his determination, perseverance, and spirit.

In Su Ping's eyes, he was indeed a truly admirable warrior! In the eyes of someone like Long Two, death was never something to fear.

This kind of resistance was truly remarkable.

Not noticing the gazes of the three people before him, Su Ping closed his eyes slightly.

Then he chose to let the Omnipotent Beast Codex put away the item first.

This thing had lasted a long time, and he was truly feeling overwhelmed.

After 'closing' it, Su Ping opened his eyes again and continued to look at the three people before him.

However, the gazes of these three people looking at him were somewhat strange.

Su Ping coughed lightly, breaking the eerie silence, and quickly said:

"Alright, I should be leaving now. Otherwise, there might be too much gossip outside, and who knows what kind of news will spread?"

After speaking, Su Ping jumped off the bed and then casually rubbed his temples, appearing relaxed as he left the private office.

```

Long Two quickly followed.

Only the two of them were left, Long Two and Ray Saint.

The latter paused for a moment, exhaling, and then said:

"Chairman Qin, I'll go make a call to that person first."

"Mhm."

Ray Saint remained in the office and dialed the number.

The phone rang three times before it was finally answered.

The voice on the other end had some static, and then it spoke:

"Meng Yao? How is Su Ping doing? Is he awake? Don't worry, we've prepared some refreshing and calming magical potions on this side, all from Emerald Dreamland..."

Ray Saint interrupted the constant chatter of this person, and said:

"Lord, Su Ping has woken up, and his realm has improved. Moreover, he just said..."

The voice on the other end suddenly went silent, and after more than ten breaths, it continued:

"Did he really say that?"

"Mhm. This kid is indeed saying that. Moreover, he seems to have some confidence in resisting this mental torment. It's as if he truly believes in himself."

"Tsk, this kid is the pride of Dragon Nation!"

This evaluation made Ray Saint's eyes widen in surprise.

Soon, the voice on the other end spoke again:

"However, the attitude and determination of this young man is his business. Dragon Nation cannot ignore this. If he can truly resist the influence of this torment, we can consider letting him approach the Dragon Gate."

"Huh?"

Ray Saint's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly recovered:

"Yes... But, Lord, your signal seems a bit unstable. Should I hang up?"

He was curious about where this person was, but with the call ended, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ray Saint didn't expect what was about to happen.

On the other end of the call, a man's figure hung up the special satellite phone and then looked ahead.

It was a dazzling starry sky.

The boundless starry universe made the Blue Sphere beneath his feet seem so insignificant.

And almost ten thousand miles away.

was a fleet collecting cosmic energy and stray resources in space.

This chain of fleets advanced in space, and almost every fleet ship had a Holy Spirit Rank energy fluctuation.

Within these fluctuations, there were almost mechanical peak creations.

Every major nation was exploring space,

and space had various special high-level resources.

It was a future path not yet fully developed, and here, indeed, was the future trend.

Space exploration was the most important aspect for every nation.

And at this moment, in this starry sky, a fleet with the Eagle Head Flag advanced, and an incredibly loud dragon roar resounded...

"Finally, there's a reason to collect some interest..."
