Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Chapter 133: Discovering the Divine Spirit Fruit

Although it was already midnight in the Divine Realm, it was broad daylight within the Divine Domain.

Moreover, Sylvus didn't see a sun, so he had no idea what was providing the light.

At the moment, he was on a plain, and there was no one else around.

It seemed that when entering the portal, everyone was randomly transported to different places within the Divine Domain.

Since he was on a plain, there was no need to use any abilities.

He picked a random direction and flew off in search of treasure.

After flying for more than ten minutes, Sylvus suddenly stopped.

Looking ahead, he spotted a group of black giant wolves resting—there were about a hundred thousand of them.

"So many Divine Beasts gathered here; there must be something valuable. Let's go take a look."

With that thought, Sylvus activated his Void Spirit Magic and flew over.

Generally, places with treasures are guarded by powerful Divine Beasts.

This group of black wolves was no exception.

Among them was a massive black wolf, over ten meters tall, at the level of an Upper Deity.

With such a large pack of black wolves, they were practically invincible on this plain; ordinary people wouldn't stand a chance against them.

As Sylvus entered the wolf pack, he noticed there were no treasures around, which made him curious.

Why would so many black wolves gather here if not just to rest?

"Insight!"

Sylvus focused his mind and activated his ability once again.

In an instant, he understood the situation within a ten-thousand-meter radius.

His gaze eventually fell on something beneath the leader of the wolves, and a smile appeared on his face.

"No wonder I couldn't find it—it was hidden by this guy."

Beneath the lead wolf was a pit over a meter deep.

Inside the pit was a small tree with a red fruit growing on it.

Judging by its appearance, the fruit wasn't fully ripe yet.

Sylvus wasn't in a hurry, so he decided to wait patiently.

If such a large pack of wolves was waiting for this fruit, it must be extraordinary.

...

About half an hour later, just as Sylvus was starting to get impatient, an energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from beneath the lead wolf.

Sylvus's eyes lit up, and he quickly approached.

The black lead wolf also seemed to sense something.

A look of joy flashed in its eyes as it stood up and looked down at the pit beneath it.

...

However, as soon as the lead wolf's gaze fell into the pit, it froze.

The fruit it had been guarding for days had vanished without a trace—along with the small tree itself.

"Howl...!"

The lead wolf quickly reacted, letting out an enraged howl.

The black wolves surrounding it also began to roar, their powerful auras erupting across the plain.

But after a while, the lead wolf was still standing in the same place.

Though it was furious and wanted to know who had stolen its treasure, the problem was it had no idea who had done it.

It didn't even know when the fruit had disappeared.

This made the black lead wolf not just angry, but also frustrated.

The treasure it had guarded for days was gone, and it didn't even know when it had been taken.

Meanwhile, Sylvus heard the wolves' howls, but he paid them no mind.

He had already reached a distant spot, his gaze on the small tree in his hand.

"System, what is this thing?"

Sylvus asked curiously.

He could sense a special power from the fruit, but he didn't know what it did.

[Host, what you have is an ungraded treasure—the Divine Spirit Fruit. For beings with a divine core, consuming it can enhance their divine abilities. For those without a divine core, it allows them to bypass tribulation and directly gain one.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Sylvus looked at the Divine Spirit Fruit in his hand with some surprise.

He didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"System, how can such a powerful treasure be ungraded?"

Sylvus asked in confusion.

[There are many ungraded treasures. Some are indeed useless, while others possess powerful abilities. Although the Divine Spirit Fruit can create a divine core, 90% of the abilities it grants are worthless, which is why it cannot be classified by grade.]

Sylvus understood, and his gaze returned to the Divine Spirit Fruit in his hand.

"System, if I eat this, will it enhance my abilities or give me a new one?"

He asked.

[Since the host's abilities are already at the Deity level, you will gain a new ability.]

Sylvus nodded. He wasn't worried about getting a useless ability.

No matter how weak, any ability would be transformed into a Deity-level ability by his divine core.

With that thought, Sylvus ate the fruit.

Instantly, he felt a violent power surge through his body.

"Not being in my shop makes it harder to control this power—I can only endure it."

Sylvus shook his head as his body felt like it was being scorched by fire.

His veins felt as if countless needles were piercing them—an incredibly uncomfortable sensation.

...

Fortunately, at that moment, his Deity-level divine core erupted with power, quickly absorbing the energy from the Divine Spirit Fruit, allowing Sylvus to relax.

After more than ten minutes, Sylvus saw his divine core glow, and another star within it was successfully lit.

Fire Spirit: A Deity-level ability that allows the user to transform into a fire spirit for ten minutes, during which they are immune to all fire-based attacks.

Seeing the new ability, Sylvus's eyes lit up.

This ability was quite impressive—it granted immunity to attacks.

"System, what was this ability originally?"

Sylvus asked curiously.

[Fire Spirit: Transform into a fire spirit, immune to 10% of fire-based attacks. After transformation ends, the user will be in a paralyzed state for one minute.]

As Sylvus spoke, a system interface appeared before him.

After reading the description, Sylvus smiled slightly.

A Deity-level divine core truly was powerful—it could turn such a weak ability into a genuine Deity-level ability.

"If I could gain abilities like Water Spirit or Metal Spirit, who could possibly stand against me?"

Sylvus couldn't help but think.

Although Void Spirit Magic was great, it would deactivate if he launched an attack, and there was a one-minute cooldown.

In different situations, Void Spirit Magic and Fire Spirit each had their own advantages.

"The first treasure I found is this good—seems like coming to the Divine Domain was the right choice."

After tidying himself up, Sylvus continued wandering around the Divine Domain.

He found several other treasures afterward, though none compared to the Divine Spirit Fruit.

"This method is too troublesome. If only someone could gather all the treasures in the Divine Domain and bring them to me, that would be much easier."

Sylvus suddenly paused—that was it! Why hadn't he thought of this before?

"The Divine Domain closes in seven days. I'll wait at the exit until then!"

With that thought, a smile appeared on Sylvus's face.

At that time, he could simply release Riotous Will, letting everyone in the Divine Domain fight each other, and all the treasures would be his.

"But with so many days left, I can't waste time. I'll head to the deepest area and see if there's anything even better."

Sylvus looked ahead.

In the distance was a giant peak that connected heaven and earth.
