Chapter 56: The Second Heart

Oliver jumped straight into the city. He was able to pass through the city walls up to several rooftops at once and dropped himself between many small houses that were so dark that when he dispelled the fire, no one could see him anymore.

After that, he took off running, just wanting to keep his identity hidden.

When he was far enough away from the city walls, only then did he stop.

He looked around for a while before entering a public restroom that was lit by solar power.

Inside the restroom, he took another look at the heart of the Primordial Sky Tree which was said to be extraordinary.

When holding it, he could feel the heartbeat that did not stop even for a moment.

The life of the tree still existed within that heart. It just could not regenerate anymore after its last roots were reduced to ashes.

Of course, he wouldn't be able to get the heart's usage information without asking the constellations in the group. Others would be like that as well. They would have to ask their respective constellations to find out.

Oliver: (I just got the Heart of the Primordial Sky Tree. The System says it's very rare, what are its uses?)

He asked the group without attaching a picture.

Actually, he also wanted to ask about the True Sunflower Seed that he had gotten from the monster killed by his aunt, but he hadn't gotten around to asking, and had almost forgotten about it. However, since he wanted to discuss about the heart first, so he still had to delay asking about it.

Queen of Life: (Did you really get that heart?)

Apparently, the Queen of Life was the first to respond.

Possessing the power of life, things related to trees were indeed more related to her compared to the others.

South Sea Queen: (Hahaha, you're not looking for it, are you, Queen?)

Underworld Lord: (The Queen of Life has it too, that's an inappropriate question.)

South Sea Queen: (Come on...)

Queen of Life: (@Oliver, that heart is so amazing, you'd better use it right away. It's best to make it fuse with yourself so that you have two hearts. The advantage is that you can continue to regenerate as long as the energy from your endurance is still there and the heart hasn't been destroyed.

It has to be kept secret of course, and the heart won't be able to be destroyed by any elemental power, it can only be destroyed by physical force. And you can later use it to create your own skills.)

'Making my own skills.' Oliver was immediately interested in the Queen of Life's last sentence.

This was actually quite a frequent topic. People asked the Constellations but they always didn't respond when asked about it.

After all, if one could make their own skills, then they wouldn't need to buy skills anymore.

Oliver: (How to merge with the heart?) S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He still chose this topic to talk about. Perhaps if he asked about how to create skills on his own, the Queen of Life wouldn't answer either.

He himself suspected that it couldn't be done by people at his level yet.

Queen of Life: (You have to immerse the heart into your blood so you need to prepare at least one liter of blood. The rest of the process will happen automatically. You will gain the life of the Primordial Sky Tree from that heart.)

"What, one liter?" Oliver's eyes opened wide as he read those words.

Even his body felt weak when he thought of having to prepare a liter of his blood.

He probably had more resistance to pain. Still that he had to make himself hurt was rather painful to imagine.

At the same time, he finally understood why he would not gain any experience or points from using that heart. It was because until the end, he still wouldn't kill the Primordial Sky Tree because he was basically taking over its life as his own.

And that life still existed.

South Sea Queen: (@Oliver; you must be scared, but what's there to worry about. Your blood won't run out with the Azure Primordial Dragon Bone. Plus, your wounds will instantly heal once you fuse with that heart.)

The woman seemed to know what Oliver was thinking, so she commented.

Although she made a logical comment, unfortunately actions were not as easy as words.

Oliver remained silent for a long time.

However, at this moment a golden bone appeared in his hand.

While silent, he tried to strengthen his resolve.

He had already passed the phase of killing humans, and realized that he also needed to have the ability to inflict wounds on himself if it was in his best interest.

His eyes closed slowly as he strengthened his resolve.

Shua!

His hand moved quickly towards his thigh to thrust the bone in his hand into it.

If he had used his knife, it might have been a little difficult to pierce his thigh, but with the bone, it was not too difficult.

His eyes immediately opened wide and trembled.

He looked down as he fell to his knees. Find new chapters on m-vl-em-pyr

Although the pain might not be as painful as it actually was, it still hurt a lot.

He gasped as he looked at the bone embedded in his thigh.

If he pulled on the bone, his blood would definitely gush out, collecting a liter would not be difficult.

"Fuck!" He cursed before grabbing the tissue container, throwing away the tissue.

Then he made the bone disappear so that the hole in his thigh was revealed.

Quickly, he covered the hole with the tissue container.

Actually, he was a bit afraid of pulling the bone, so he chose to eliminate it directly.

Buzz!

Instantly, blood gushed into the tissue container.

Surprisingly, it didn't hurt so much anymore for him. Maybe he was getting adapted.

However, his head felt soulless when he saw the blood coming out so much.

"Damn it!" He cursed again.

When the tissue container was full of his blood, he quickly placed it on the floor then put the tree heart into the container, submerging it until all parts were covered by his blood.

Suddenly, it shone brightly, radiating light throughout his body.

Whoosh!

It then moved into his body then disappeared as if it entered a different space.

At the same time, the wound on his thigh closed at an unimaginable speed, leaving no scars at all.

His originally chaotic thoughts instantly calmed down.

"Is this over?" He wondered, astonished by himself.

He moved the fingers of his hand, trying to feel into his body.

"Here!" His hand spontaneously touched the right side of his chest.

It was because there he felt something new that he could not explain clearly.
