The Man’s Decree

“Master, why didn’t you consider collaborating with Hellion? Perhaps together, you could have broken through the Heaven and Earth Array and return to the celestial realm,” Mickey asked.

“Hmph, how could I possibly collaborate with that old man, he’s not worthy!” Divinus let out a cold snort.

However, as he spoke, his eyes flickered with confusion and regret.

Had they collaborated from the outset, they might have truly had the power to shatter the Heaven and Earth Array.

However, back then, no one would yield, making cooperation impossible.

Now, after so much time and with their strength significantly diminished, even if they were to join forces, breaking the Heaven and Earth Array would be impossible.

“All right, enough talking. I’m going to rest now. Unless Hellion shows up, don’t bother me.” With that, he vanished.

Mickey gazed at the thatched hut not far away, his eyes filled with envy.

Talent truly was something that couldn’t be changed.

Despite that, he felt content. From being a mere mouse, he had transformed into someone who was now envied by many demon beasts.

“Jared, give it your all,” Mickey said quietly.

Meanwhile, within the thatched hut, Jared was still diligently inscribing the divine markings.

He had completely stopped caring about those fiery red eyes outside.

No matter what kind of demon beast or demonic cultivator it was, as long as he was protected by the arcane array, he would be safe.

After an indeterminate amount of time, when Jared opened his eyes, he found that Mickey had already arrived.

“Jared, you’re truly dedicated. This is something our Master asked me to bring to you.”

As he spoke, Mickey placed some mystical herbs on the table.

“Mickey, I have a question for you,” Jared said.

“Go ahead, are there parts about the divine markings you still don’t understand?” Mickey asked.

“It’s not that. I’ve already memorized these divine markings and understood them too. All that’s left is to refine my primordial divine markings and merge it with the divine markings. I just wanted to ask, Mickey, is our master from the celestial realm?”

Jared was curious to find out whether Divinus was truly from the celestial realm or not.

Mickey was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. “Jared, you’re really asking the obvious. Isn’t there a celestial demonic soul residing in your consciousness field? Wouldn’t he tell you? Regardless of whether the master is from the celestial realm or not, all you need to remember is that he means you no harm. Focus on your cultivation. When the time comes, don’t be swayed by the sweet nothings of others, and let down the expectations Master has for you.”

“Mickey, rest assured,” Jared declared confidently, patting his chest. “I’m the kind of person who never forgets a favor.”

“That’s good.” Mickey nodded, then glanced at the yellow cloth and asked, “Since you’ve already committed the divine markings to memory, you won’t be needing this yellow cloth inscribed with array runes anymore, right?”

“Right, you can take it away now.” Jared nodded.

Mickey gave a slight nod, with a wave of his hand, the yellow cloth took flight. However, it didn’t land in Mickey’s hand as expected.

Instead, it draped over Jared’s body, much like a cloak.

Jared was somewhat taken aback. As he wondered why Mickey would do such a thing, he suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of energy coursing through his body.

The divine markings on the yellow cloth began to glow.

Jared hastily closed his eyes, his entire body enveloped by the divine markings.

Mickey cast a glance around, then slowly backed out of the room.

Just as he stepped out of the room, a burst of radiant light shot up into the sky. Its dazzling brilliance pierced the clouds, drawing in the spiritual energy from all directions toward the thatched hut.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Rays of divine light, akin to the rising sun, illuminated the sky.

This kind of spectacle, even from a thousand miles away, could still be seen clearly.

“Indeed, it’s all about talent.”

Mickey was feeling those unusual fluctuations of the universe, constantly muttering the word “talent” under his breath.

Jared had managed to form his primordial divine markings, and all within just a few short days.

Although it was Mickey who aided Jared in the final instance, it was indeed Jared’s own extraordinary talent that made the difference.

Mickey had already noticed that Jared had reached a crucial moment. Even if Mickey didn’t lend a hand in the end, it wouldn’t take Jared much longer to refine his own primordial divine markings.
