Chapter 207 Obtaining Star Fragments
Lionheart City, Glowing Temple.
The mini hammer in Chen Ping's hand slowly floated in the air.
"This is the Eternal Hammer of the dwarves. The Bible of Holy Healing has a detailed introduction to it. Thousands of years ago, the dwarves used this eternal hammer to carve the Star Soul Stone Stele."
Balutu looked at the Star Soul Stone Stele. At this time, a faint blue light emitted around the stone stele, which seemed to echo the small hammer.
"How to use this?" Chen Ping asked.
"The dwarves or those recognized by the dwarves can use the Eternal Hammer."
"The Star Soul Stone is only damaged and needs to be repaired. Even if the user can't carve it, it doesn't matter!"
After hearing this, Chen Ping walked to the Star Soul Stone Tablet, and the Eternal Hammer fell on the stone tablet on its own.
After a gentle knock, all the dust covering the surface of the stone tablet was shaken off, and each clear handwriting appeared.
Balutu stepped forward and looked at the writing on the stone tablet.
"It turns out...one of the seventh star fragments is in Lion Heart City!" Balutu opened his eyes wide.
"In Lion Heart City?" Jing Nan was a little surprised.
"Well, it's the small cauldron held by the statue in the center of Lionheart City!" Balutu nodded.
That huge statue has been around for a long time. It was not until the end of the Battle of Lifehammer that it was sent to Lionheart City by the Holy Healers.
Balutu took Jingnan and Chen Ping to the statue.
A more than ten-meter-tall human lion-faced statue holds a staff in one hand, and the palm of the other hand is raised high. In the center of the palm, there is an exquisite small cauldron, which is seven years old like Chen Ping's star cauldron. Eight points similar.
"That little tripod is a star fragment?" Chen Ping unfolded his mechanical wings and took out the small tripod from the statue's hand. This seemed different from what he imagined.
Balutu's eyes were full of surprise when he saw that Chen Ping could actually pick up the small cauldron directly.
"Could it be that you are...the last hero chosen by God?"
Jing Nan on the side was also extremely surprised.
"Is this really a star fragment?" Chen Ping still didn't believe it.
"Let's go back to the temple first!" Balutu suggested.
There are also a large number of busy workers nearby repairing damaged buildings.
Chen Ping nodded, led Mazi and others, followed Barutu, and walked towards the Glow Temple again.
At the same time, Balutu slowly introduced the origin of the star fragments to Chen Ping.
"According to legend, when the heaven and earth first opened, everything in the universe was in chaos. After an unknown period of time, the chaotic world collapsed and split into two halves, and gave birth to two main gods, one was the god of disorder, and the other was the god of order. God."
"The God of Order created a huge star. Under the pull of the power of the stars, the God of Order created life. Under the endless power of the stars, life starts over and over in an infinite cycle."
"Over the long years, the God of Disorder has been attracted by the near-infinite power of the stars, and gradually became greedy, but he was unable to occupy this power of the stars."
"At this time, there were more and more lives on the continent created by the God of Order, so he continued to create the Seven God Pillars to manage all living beings, and divided the power of the stars into seven pieces and distributed them to the gods."
"After the Seven Divine Pillars gained the power of the stars, they also created some races."
"For example, the Goddess of Wisdom created the Nalin tribe who can freely control magic, the Goddess of Nature created the beautiful elves, the God of Earth created the giants, the God of War created the orcs... In the end, the Seven God Pillars jointly created the tribe of possessors. A human race capable of self-growth.”
"Under the management of the Seven Divine Pillars, all races developed peacefully, but this peace was quickly broken!"
"First, the Orcs deceived the God of War and obtained the star fragments of the God of War. Seeing this, the Giants sneaked into the residence of the God of Earth, stole the star fragments, and launched a war with the Orcs, followed by the rest All ethnic groups are also involved.”
"The chaos here was glimpsed by the God of Disorder. Under his secret manipulation, the other races also obtained star fragments!"
"However, this war did not last long. The God of Order took action and took back the power of the stars. In order to punish the Seven God Pillars, he will also take back their divine power."
"Although peace has returned to the mainland, the seeds of greed for power have been planted until King West Asia I founded the West Asia Empire and began to send Templar Knights to find the whereabouts of the star fragments. The hammer of destiny fell again..."
What happened next was similar to what the leader of the Coco tribe told.
And these seven so-called "star fragments" are actually seven different weapons, including staffs, swords, hammers, axes, and the small tripod in front of Chen Ping.
"This star fragment should belong to the goddess of life. However, the goddess of life has not appeared since the first war, and the spirit race she created is said to have been extinct before the Life Hammer War..." Balutu said regretfully.
At this time, Chen Ping was no longer interested in listening to Balutu's story. The small cauldron in his hand trembled slightly, and the sand on the small cauldron slowly fell off.
Until Xiaoding revealed its original appearance, shock flashed across the faces of the three people again.
Dense cracks covered Xiaoding's body, and the surging power of the stars quickly dissipated in all directions.
Because this power of the stars is too pure, no one dares to absorb it easily, unless they have a divine body that can carry this almost infinite energy.
However, Su Xixi, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly discovered that her tower shield seemed to have undergone subtle changes. In this pure star power, a layer of blue mist was attached to the black tower shield. But no one else noticed.
It's not just the tower shield that has changed, but her body as well. It's just that she can only absorb a very small amount of this power, but even a drop is enough to make her undergo earth-shaking changes.
"We must find a way to prevent the power of the stars from collapsing, otherwise... otherwise the star fragments will completely turn into mortal objects!"
Seeing the artifact disintegrating, Balutu's face was full of anxiety, but he was helpless.
"Hiccup! What a great wine!"
Xiao Hei crawled out of Chen Ping's arms drunkenly.
"Holy shit, such pure energy!" Xiao Hei's hazy eyes suddenly became much clearer.
"This is a star fragment, but it is disintegrating. Is there anything you can do?" Chen Ping asked.
"I've just come to this world, how can I possibly do anything about it!" Xiao Hei shook his head.
"However, it seems very similar to your Star Cauldron, maybe..."
Xiao Hei said again hesitantly.
Concern leads to chaos. For a moment, Chen Ping also forgot his own Star Cauldron. Xiao Hei reminded him and immediately took out the Star Cauldron.
The surroundings were like the actual power of stars, and the moment Chen Ping took out the Star Cauldron, he was quickly attracted towards it.
In the end, the Star Cauldron even directly began to absorb the energy of the "star fragments", like a greedy leech, frantically sucking the blood of the parasitized person.
In just a few minutes, the "star fragment" completely lost its light, and the cracks on it became more obvious.
"This...what is this?" Balutu pointed at the Star Cauldron in Chen Ping's hand.
"A senior gave it to me!" Chen Ping replied.
"It can actually carry the power of stars?" Jing Nan also opened his eyes wide.
Chen Ping coughed lightly and quickly put away the Star Cauldron: "I just received another bounty mission. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for too long!"
"This is not the star fragment I am looking for. It seems that the only way to go is to that place..." Jing Nan also returned to his normal color.
A moment later, Balutu took Chen Ping to the library of the Glow Temple. After spending several hours copying all the books in the library, Chen Ping said goodbye to Balutu and took him with him. The remaining few people chose to end the secret realm.
"[Secret Realm No. 3587] (Lion Heart City)!"
"Experience increased by 10%!"
"Items produced in Lionheart City have been bound!"
"The mission is completed and the score is SS, and the rewards for passing the level are increased!"
"Reward for clearing the level: Scarlet Coin*100, Star Upgrade Card*2, Intermediate Experience Scroll*2, Advanced Life Potion*4, Scarlet Crystal*2!"
"First pass reward: scarlet coins*100, random blue quality talent scroll*2!"
These rewards are relatively average for Chen Ping. After all, it is the Scarlet Secret Realm with A-level difficulty, but the income other than the clearance rewards is indeed considerable.
Except for scarlet coins, experience scrolls, and life potions, Chen Ping kept them for himself. The rest of the rewards, including two ordinary star promotion cards, were given to Mazi to distribute to other people in the team.
After all, the rest of the team did play a certain role in clearing this level.
"Brother Dong, these things should be useful!"
Ye Shengge took out several boxes from the space stone and opened one of them.
There was a large box full of magic stones. Although most of them were low-level magic stones, they were enough for Chen Ping to use for a long time.
"Where did you get it?" Chen Ping looked at Ye Shengge.
"Part of it was taken from the bandit's den, and the other part... I picked it up on the roadside when I was resisting the demons who attacked Lion Heart City..." Ye Shengge scratched his head.
Chen Ping took a brief look and saw that the other boxes contained some ordinary equipment and the common currency of Lionheart City.
"I've kept these magic stones and gold coins. You can take a look at the others. If you don't need them, give them to them as hard work!"
Chen Ping whispered, and then followed Mazi out of the teleportation array of the Scarlet Secret Realm.
Outside the teleportation formation, He Guangzheng led the third team to guard it conscientiously.
"Mazi, come out!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"
"This is what we should do!"
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Mazi took out two boxes of equipment: "Take these and reward your brothers!"
"This... did you get this from the secret realm? Why are there so many? Did you rob all the NPCs?" He Guang was stunned.
They cleared the secret realm and were able to get two or three pieces of equipment, which was all due to great luck.
"It's not too much. This A-level secret realm is still quite difficult. You should gather your team first! Wait until your strength improves and try again!" Mazi suggested.
After passing through these secret realms for the first time, they will all change. If He Guang and the others enter again, it will basically be the task of helping Lion Heart City rebuild and clean up the surrounding bandits.
Although it is much simpler than Chen Ping and others, among the bandits who have not been eliminated, there are still some with platinum strength. For others, the difficulty is not ordinary.
He Guang nodded and ordered the team to be withdrawn, while Mazi and others had already got in the car and drove to the Ironwood Camp.
"Brother Dong, I...I'm so hot!"
In the carriage, Su Xixi whispered to Chen Ping.
