Chapter 1168: Chapter 539: Divine Crystal and "Dream

["Does it feel slippery? What did it remind you of? Stop here and now!"]

With her lips close to Herbert’s ear, Nenasha shouted loudly: ["Tell me, what are you thinking? What exactly are you comparing it to?"]

Herbert ignored Nenasha’s attempt to steer the conversation and his thoughts drifted to another matter related to the Divine Format.

"Nenasha, do you still have the Divine Format absorbed from that pocket watch?"

["Huh?"]

Nenasha immediately put on a pitiful look, grumbling: ["Who asks for something back after gifting it to someone else~"]

"Just tell me if it’s still there or not."

["You bad man—haha."]

Nenasha pretended to whine for a while, then shrugged nonchalantly, smiling smugly: ["Of course it’s still there~ That bit of Divine Format isn’t much to me, naturally, I planned on saving it for you."]

["After all..."]

Her voice lowered slightly, carrying an almost imperceptible tenderness as she softly said: ["What’s mine, is yours, isn’t it?"]

Then, just as a sense of gratitude bubbled up in Herbert’s heart, Nenasha’s tone suddenly changed to one of triumph, gloating: ["How do you feel? Isn’t it moving after hearing this?"]

"Uh-huh, I’m so moved, Nenasha, you’re really the best."

Herbert nodded cooperatively yet perfunctorily, furrowing his brow lightly, quietly saying: "...If it’s still there, that means..."

["The conditions have been met."]

With Nenasha’s soft whisper, another smaller Divine Fragment emerged from the shadows beneath Herbert’s feet.

Next, assisted by two shadow tendrils, the two fragments were tightly pressed together.

Buzz—

A deep sound, as if emanating from the Rules of the world, reverberated in the depths of Herbert’s heart.

The moment the two crystals made contact, they shone brightly!

Then, under the control of Divine Power, the two crystals quickly fused together, losing their original colors and transforming into a new, translucent crystal.

A pure, spotless Divine Crystal that any strong individual could use to successfully advance.

The two silently gazed at the newly formed crystal, as if witnessing a completely different Destiny.

Even Nenasha’s tone carried complexity, unable to resist the urge to remark: ["You, your luck is truly both good and bad."]

To say Herbert has good luck, he initially had the misfortune to encounter her and then became entangled with various Divine Spirits, always pushed forward by fate.

But if one were to say he has bad luck... Can this guy really be described as "unlucky"?

Not to mention those of the opposite sex, let’s set aside the issue of popularity with women; purely looking at other aspects, his luck is also remarkably good.

Looking back, somehow it seems it’s those opposing him who have the bad luck?

Wealth, power, strength, the favor of Divine Spirits, the benevolence of Destiny...

The things that are hard for ordinary people to obtain, things they spend their whole lives unable to reach, are merely trivial in his eyes, all effortlessly accessible.

"..."

Herbert silently sensed the two equivalent yet qualitatively different forces of Divine Format.

What Astrid’s teacher left behind was an older Divine Fragment, although small in quantity, it was high in quality.

Though information about the ancient Divine Spirit is unknown, it can be confirmed that in its prime, it was at least a High Tier Divine Power.

Even such powerful Divine Spirits fell during the ancient Gods’ war.

While Fulingya’s gifted "sandstone" Divine Format, though inferior in quality, excelled in quantity, only lacking a tiny bit.

The combination of both led to a quantity that triggers a qualitative change.

Along with the Divine Format Herbert had absorbed earlier from Astrid’s teacher’s pocket watch, the accumulated Divine Format was sufficient for him to advance to Demigod.

In comparison, others could only look back with a trail of blood and tears.

["If Finn, that poor fellow, knew that the thing he dreamed of, you casually obtained like this, he might just crawl out of the river of oblivion to die again from the rage."]

Finn, in his quest for a Divine Format to advance to Demigod, laid plans within the Witch Association for many years, calculating every move, pursuing tirelessly all his life and sacrificing everything, yet still failed to take that step.

The goal Finn spent half a lifetime betraying others to achieve was thus easily attained by Herbert.

["Tsk tsk, truly pathetic."]

Nenasha timely made a derisive remark, but Herbert shook his head upon hearing it, quite composedly saying, "Don’t rush to lament his fate; he’s not completely dead yet."

["Doesn’t make much difference, does it? Do you think he can survive in the Star Realm?"]

"It’s possible; as long as I haven’t seen his death with my own eyes, to me, he’s still alive."

["So cautious."]

Nenasha pouted. Although she found Herbert’s caution somewhat dismissive, she didn’t wish to argue further. Instead, she asked: ["So, what are you planning to do now? The conditions are met; will you seize the chance to advance to Demigod?"]

Advancing to Demigod, stepping into the domain of Divine Spirits, this seems to be the pursuit of all mighty beings, without hesitation.

However, despite having a chance that would drive numerous strong individuals on the continent mad, Herbert was in no rush to advance, showing little interest, only mild enthusiasm.

He deliberated, quietly assessing the actual changes advancing to Demigod would bring. After a while, he oddly sighed: "It seems, not much sufficient benefit..."

["You’ve noticed it."]

While seemingly questioning Herbert, Nenasha had already guessed his decision—he won’t recklessly attempt to advance.
