Chapter 1154: Divine Embryonic Seed (2)



"Do you know what this is?" Orion asked, turning his attention toward Aerialia, noticing her reaction.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Aerialia gave a solemn nod. "This is a Divine Embryonic Seed, one of the main requirements for an already dead divine being who managed to preserve their divine soul to be reborn anew. Surprisingly, this one seems contaminated with raw Vylkr energy and has likely been here for a long time," Aerialia replied, scrutinizing the Divine Embryonic Seed with a sharp gaze.

"The divine laws within it also appear to be unstable. I can't tell how long it will remain active before it enters a dormant state,"

A look of realization crossed Orion's face. He swallowed and asked, "Does that mean you could potentially reconstruct your body with it?"

Contrary to his expectation, Aerialia shook her head. "Every divine being I've encountered has a self-tailored rebirth technique they use to cultivate their Divine Embryonic Seed. Attempting to influence it could push it into a false dormant state, leaving it highly susceptible to external influences. Its growth would be stalled until it awakens from dormancy."

"Attempting such a thing would be risky, making me vulnerable to external forces. Also, the Vylkr energy would likely make any of my attempts impossible, so it would be a waste of time," she explained. "And in this case, it already appears to belong to someone seeking rebirth."

A Divine Embryonic Seed can also be made using the children of the divine being as ingredients since they are the closest thing to the divine being. This process is more straightforward and allows them to attain the same constitution they were familiar with. It is less time-consuming and has a higher success rate of reconstructing their body.

For instance, when Aerialia tried to take over Aurora's body during their first encounter, she easily suppressed her soul because Aurora was the perfect divine embryonic vessel for her resurrection, made from her essence and tailored to be like her. Before she stopped.

However, only a few gods are willing to commit such horrendous acts. Most would only consider it a last resort, while many, like Aerialia, would never attempt such a thing, even if left with no other choice.

Many don't have these seeds in abundance because a Divine Embryonic Seed is delicate and requires constant care, rare materials, and immense resources.

To their surprise, the mysterious water woman raised her hand and pointed her finger toward the sky. "...Heaven," she whispered inaudibly, though her voice rang clearly within their consciousness.

And one more time since discovering one of Naka's laboratories, Aerialia's and Orion's expressions froze, their faces morphing into a mix of shock, realization, and horror. In an instant, their expressions became unreadable.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter escaped from Aerialia's lips. "Hahaha," she chuckled, her lips curving into amusement. "I see. For some reason, this goddess you speak of has gotten herself entangled into a mess with the divine mystery, and now you want to rescue her and bring her here to use the Divine Embryonic Seed so she can be reborn, starting anew and escaping whatever mess she's gotten herself into."

Aerialia's gaze suddenly sharpened, her voice turning into a growl. "How foolish do you think we are to meddle in something like this? Do you even have compensation for making such a

request?"

After Aerialia finished speaking, the immense body of water surrounding them retracted into the mysterious water woman. She knelt on the ground, prostrating herself before them.

"...Servitude..."

Aerialia's eyes flickered with surprise before her expression twisted into anger. "Do you think that's enough? I'm unsure whether you're even a goddess, a demigoddess, or something else entirely. And you think your servitude is enough for compensation?" she retorted, her voice laced with irritation.

She then turned her attention to Orion and said, "Let's go. It's dangerous to continue this conversation with her. We'd better focus on rescuing this pocket dimension's inhabitants and bringing them to Paradise before the portal closes, saving Ilse the stress in case something unexpected happens." She locked her gaze with Orion.
