Cursed Immortality

Not even ten hours passed when the Legendary Lords showed up again, but they were filled with smiles and anticipation this time.

Jacob didn’t seem surprised since he had already expected this much. After all, since their self-interest was involved, these guys clearly didn’t care who they made a deal with.

Furthermore, to make sure these lords wouldn’t suspect anything, he let them use their own Zodiac Soul Contract and filled it with the conditions, and he signed it without hesitation.

Thus, the ’partnership’ between Jacob and the lords was formed. They will provide him with all the alchemy knowledge in their possession. When he discovers the elemental galaxy, Eamon, he’ll return their belonging and loved ones without any tricks and even share 40% of the wealth he gains from Eamon with them until he leaves.

Furthermore, Myriad Galaxy City’s management will also be handled by them, and Jacob would be like a puppet king, which Jacob gladly accepted since he didn’t want to waste his time on this city. They could do whatever they wanted with it.

All Jacob wanted was for no one to disturb him until he was here, while he would enjoy every benefit of being a legendary king.

Once the contract was formed, those lords left with ecstasy while Jacob merely sneered at them since only he knew what awaited them.

After this problem was resolved, Jacob finally had some peaceful time for himself, and he returned to the chamber of the Myriad Galaxy King before he directly entered the infinite space to start another seclusion with the knowledge he had gathered until now.

At this moment, within the Cardinal Spirit Temple, the Holy King, Eliza, finally sighed in relief after she dealt with the aftermath of the Zodiac Beasts.

"It’s finally over…" She muttered as her spiral eyes contained a hint of exhaustion.

But the next moment, her expression changed as she vanished from the throne hall and appeared in a hidden temple location where only she could enter.

This place was a spacious hall seemingly made of white gold with towering runic pillars.

In the center of this hall was a beautiful holy shrine, and the statue of the Holy Justice God was enshrined in it. This statue was currently releasing mystical power ripples as he glowed in a pale golden light.

Eliza prostrated herself in front of the statue, and she had no arrogance or bearings like one of the top legendary kings of the legendary plains.

"Your servant is here at your behest. Seek your guidance, O’ embodiment of justice!"

Eliza was pale with fear yet excited nonetheless because she knew this was the sign of God’s revelation, and only she could accept it. Last time, the revolution happened when she was told to retrieve the Legendary Master Key.

Furthermore, she was also warned not to help the Higher God Whiteness claim the Legendary Master Key, which made her skeptical and fearful since she had to lie about a Godly existence, which was almost impossible.

But to her shock and relief, she didn’t have to lie to a God because Whiteness seemed to have vanished since that day, and it’s been over two centuries since then.

Although she was relieved since she wouldn’t have to work for Whiteness anymore, she was also disappointed because now she was again stuck in this place, and there were no clues about where the Ascension Permits were nor the Legendary Master Key.

After all, it’s been over two thousand years since the Path of Legend had closed, and to this day, no one has been able to discover that person who had riled up even the Upper Plains and Gods!

Now, even she thought that he should be dead because of the zodiac beasts or not far away from it since she thought that person should be a Fable Legendary State at most, and many such experts had met their end in the calamity of Zodiac Beasts.

But to this day, Eliza is still curious about how that person eluded her detection and law abilities, and he made her lose face in front of Whiteness multiple times!

At this moment, the statue of Holy Justice God shone in brilliant holy light before an imposing yet gentle voice reverberated in her mind.

"Child of Justice, we bestow upon you our Holy Decree!

"Search for the Cursed One, for with Cursed One lies everything! Read latest stories on NovelBin.Côm

"The Cursed One shall be where death and destruction reside!

"The Cursed One is behind the calamity of Middle Plains, and this is just the start…get rid of all the curses and anything related to them, and this will bring you to the Cursed One!

"So band together and search for the Cursed One, and once the Cursed One comes to light…we’ll move!"

Eliza was shocked when she heard this ’holy decree.’ The statue of the Holy Justice God had already returned to normal, leaving Eliza bewildered and frustrated.

"Who is this Cursed One, and is this person behind the calamity!? Even God wanted to hunt this person?!" She muttered with apparent disbelief.

In another hidden location, a towering giant kneeled in front of a towering statue, and a deep voice reverberated in his mind.

"The Ancestral Divine Aspect has been manifested in one of the descendants!

"Find the inheritor for this child, which will be the hope of our entire race!

"Create this artifact, and it’ll react once you’re near Ancestral Divine Aspect.

"Furthermore, be wary of the Cursed One, for the Cursed One is our mortal enemy!

"Anyone associated with curses is your enemy…"

The giant was bewildered as he looked at the towering statue. The connection was already broken as he muttered, "The Ancestral Divine Aspect of the Giant Race? Who could that be, and why we haven’t heard anything about it? And who is this cursed one?!"

Within the pitch-black darkness, a pair of purple flames suddenly ignited before a silhouette of a cloaked figure emerged, and the next moment, the darkness suddenly parted like a door, revealing the endless starry sky of the legendary plains.

This figure floats out of the darkness as he emotionlessly scans the peaceful lands of the legendary plains.

The purple flames flickered in his hallow sockets, and a terrifying killing intent raged around him.

He muttered with cruelty, "Bunch of fools, did they think they could find the Cursed One? Those ignorant fools…heh. Only I know how to track Cursed One down."

The next moment, in front of him, appeared a dark object appeared in front of him which was shaped like an infinity symbol, and within one of its empty sockets, a white gem was revolving; it was shimmering in an ethereal glow, filled with life and vitality and there was a mystical air around it, almost impossible to comprehend.

Furthermore, the moment this infinity-shaped object appeared, it seemed to be drawing toward a peculiar direction.

A hollow laugh escaped from this being, extraordinarily eerie and filled with ecstatic killing intent.

"Just you wait, Destin Saint; once I get my hands on the last Cursed Heart, the first person I’ll devour will be you and your band of hypocrite bastards!"
