Chapter 89: The Angelic Race’s

"I don't have such intentions. I merely want to ask for your help,"

Cornelia said with a smile.

Sylvus' lips twitched.

She clearly wanted to drag him into her mess, yet she still had the audacity to call it "help."

"What kind of help?" Sylvus asked.

"I need your help to find the artifact that can unlock the bloodline seal of the angelic race,"

Cornelia replied.

Sylvus frowned.

"You are the leader of the angelic race. Do you really need me to help you find this artifact?"

As the leader of the angelic race, Cornelia possessed the power to challenge the divine realm's strong.

On this Eslar continent, she was practically an invincible existence.

Why would she need his help?

"Precisely because I'm from the angelic race, if I leave this space, the divine realm will detect it. At that time, divine punishment will fall again, and the entire continent may shatter,"

Cornelia explained.

"Moreover, this is only a remnant of my soul. I don't have much power left, and I'm incapable of finding the artifact that can break the bloodline seal."

"And you think I have that capability?"

Sylvus asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I sensed the aura of divinity on you."

"Divinity?"

Sylvus was taken aback, then suddenly remembered something.

He turned his hand, and the Divine Soul Stone and the Archmage Soul Stone appeared in his palm.

"Are you referring to these?"

Sylvus asked.

"Indeed, those are fragments of divinity. Even though they are broken, they still contain a trace of divine power,"

Cornelia's eyes gleamed as she looked at the two soul stones in Sylvus' hand.

"Broken divinity?"

"That's right. What you hold are fragments of divinity. They can bring your power close to that of a Ruler, but they cannot make you a true Ruler,"

Cornelia explained.

"The laws of this world are too weak to allow a true Ruler to exist. If one did, the world would collapse under the strain of their power."

Sylvus looked at the soul stones in his hand.

Cornelia mentioned that they could bring someone close to Rulerhood.

This probably referred to becoming a top-level archmage or a divine knight.

In other words, these soul stones could create an archmage and a divine knight.

"So, you're telling me all of this because you want to drag me into this mess, right?"

Sylvus said disdainfully.

"With two fragments of divinity, it will be easier for you to ascend to Rulerhood in the future. However, once you become a Ruler, you'll have no choice but to go to the divine realm. Otherwise, you'll never truly become a Ruler,"

Cornelia said, smiling but remaining silent after.

Sylvus twitched again. She was essentially trying to blackmail him.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Cornelia wasn't wrong.

If he sought to become a Ruler, even if he succeeded on the Eslar continent,

the entire continent would collapse because of him.

At that point, he would have two choices:

The first was to continue ascending to Rulerhood, causing the continent to shatter, and then he would have to go to the divine realm.

The second choice was to go to the divine realm first and ascend there, sparing the Eslar continent.

Either way, Sylvus would have to go to the divine realm. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But now, Cornelia was offering him a third option.

"Unless what?"

Sylvus asked in a deep voice.

He was always the one to outsmart others, and no one had ever dared to manipulate him before.

Cornelia was truly an old master, having lived for who knows how long.

"Unless you make the laws of this world match those of the divine realm,"

Cornelia said with a smile.

Sylvus pondered this for a moment before looking back at Cornelia.

"So, your angelic race chose this continent because you anticipated this situation, didn't you?"

Once the angelic race unlocked their bloodline, their power would undoubtedly surge.

To oppose the strong of the divine realm, they would need to reach the same level as those in the divine realm.

Naturally, they couldn't go to the divine realm to strengthen themselves,

for if they did, they would likely be eliminated as soon as they arrived.

In that case, the Eslar continent had to be their stronghold.

The reason they chose this continent was that its laws had the potential to rise to the level of the divine realm.

"Exactly. You're smarter than I thought,"

Cornelia said, giving Sylvus an approving look.

"Eslar used to be an abandoned part of the divine realm. Before my angelic race met with disaster, we used great power to separate this continent from the divine realm. Over time, its laws gradually weakened,"

Cornelia explained.

"However, since this continent was once part of the divine realm, there is still a way to restore its former laws."

Sylvus nodded in understanding.

It seemed the angelic race had prepared for this a long time ago, leaving themselves with multiple fallback plans.

"Let me guess, you won't tell me this method unless I find the artifact that can break the elven bloodline seal, right?"

Sylvus asked.

"You really are the smartest human I've ever met. You're right; this is a deal. If you agree, once everything is done, the angelic race will follow your lead. If you wish to wage war against the divine realm and claim the position of Divine Lord, we will support you with all our strength!"

Cornelia said seriously.

Sylvus didn't reply immediately.

He had never considered waging war against the divine realm or becoming the Divine Lord.

Right now, his main focus was completing his tasks.

Besides, what would he do if he truly became a Ruler-level entity?

"Fine, where do I find this artifact you speak of?"

Sylvus asked.

Cornelia smiled.

"Many years ago, when my angelic race used great magic to change our appearance, we didn't anticipate that a fallen angel had infiltrated us. He took the artifact and fled."

"We sent powerful individuals to hunt him down, but he escaped into another dimension. To this day, I don't know where he went."

"So you're saying you have no idea where this artifact is, and you still want me to find it?"

Sylvus asked, his face filled with disbelief.

Whether the fallen angel was even still alive, no one knew.

Who knew where he had fled to?

"Wait a minute. The elven race is descended from the angelic race. Could the fallen angel be the ancestor of the dark elves?"

Sylvus suddenly paused.

If that were the case, he might still have a chance to find the fallen angel.

"That fallen angel did flee into another dimension, but he was seriously wounded. He should still be near the Eslar continent. This angelic feather may help you,"

Cornelia said as a pristine white feather floated toward Sylvus.

"Can this thing find the fallen angel?"

Sylvus asked as he stared at the feather, filled with a holy aura.

"Although it can't find the fallen angel directly, it will react to any trace of the fallen angel's presence,"

Cornelia explained.

Sylvus smirked.

Though he didn't think the feather would be much help, he kept it for now.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You can leave now. I still have matters to discuss with Elena and the others,"

Cornelia said.

Sylvus nodded and prepared to leave.

But just as he was about to go, he took out the ancestral stone from Elena and asked,

"What is this thing used for?"
