Chapter 596: Chapter 408: Shen Gongbao’s Opportunity and the Hundred Refinements Epoch_3

This almost made Shen Gongbao suffocate.

So, the Supreme of Misfortune knew all along.

What should he do?

Just as Shen Gongbao was about to make an excuse, the Supreme of Misfortune spoke again, "Never mind, I don’t care who disclosed it to you. Kid, I have an opportunity here, do you want it?"

Shen Gongbao’s alertness increased dramatically, always feeling like he was boarding a bandit ship.

"Although my Epoch of Halo has collapsed, there are still plenty of good things left. This Chaotic Spirit Treasure, Solitary Moon Blade, do you want it?" the words of the Supreme of Misfortune were filled with temptation, "I can even enhance your body with the heritage of the Epoch of Halo, granting you power to rival a Supreme. Aren’t you tempted?"

Shen Gongbao was stunned at first, then immediately shook his head, "Thank you for your high regard, Supreme, but I fear I’m too dull-witted to shoulder such a great task. Supreme, I admit I have taken quite a bit from the Epoch of Halo. I will now return everything to you and leave immediately."

Saying this, he waved his hand, and a mass of items appeared in front of him.

Inside was a Chaotic Spirit Treasure and many other exotic treasures, all things that any Saint Emperor would fight over.

Most importantly, there were numerous fractured Divine Patterns.

These patterns, once taken out, would certainly tempt not just any Saint Emperor, but even a Supreme.

Shen Gongbao was the first to enter, and being astute, he had managed to secure many benefits.

Seeing this, it was now the Supreme of Misfortune’s turn to be surprised.

A fragment of his True Spirit had remained in the ruins of the Epoch of Halo, so he was naturally well aware of the situation inside.

He knew very well that these items were all that this little fellow had managed to acquire.

Was this guy really willing to part with them so easily?

That shouldn’t be!

"Farewell, Supreme!" Shen Gongbao turned to flee but discovered he couldn’t even take a step forward.

He grew frustrated; he had given the items, so why wouldn’t they let him leave?

Damn it!

"So eager to leave? Didn’t I mention I was going to offer you a great opportunity?" the Supreme of Misfortune said with a smile.

"Supreme, I really can’t see what on me is worth your attention. Maybe...could you let me go?" Shen Gongbao was truly on the verge of tears!

What was this? A Supreme playing with him like this?

He didn’t believe in such windfalls from the sky!

At that moment, the Supreme of Misfortune solemnly said, "Every past Epoch, after its destruction, leaves behind a core inheritance.

This inheritance will find the right person to pass on to. You, the little fellow who grasps the Laws of Misfortune, are my chosen heir.

So what I said earlier, about giving you the power to rival a Supreme, is no empty promise.

You need not be surprised why I chose you because I value your caution, your shrewdness, and your greed..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao could only offer an embarrassed laugh.

Was this insulting him or praising him?

"My Epoch of Halo isn’t particularly strong among the seventeen collapsed Epochs," the Supreme of Misfortune continued, "though it’s not the weakest either, its strength is limited, especially after the massive losses in the Epoch Calamity.

Now, as the last Epoch of the Chaotic Universe approaches, if the Myriad Realms Epoch also collapses, then there will be no future for the Epoch of Halo.

But if the Myriad Realms Epoch survives, then the heritage of the Epoch of Halo will also remain.

The remnants of the Epoch of Halo are not strong, so I will not choose the most talented or the strongest.

The brilliantly outstanding are often easily broken, and the Epoch of Halo can’t withstand much turmoil.

But someone like you, although not capable of greatly strengthening the Epoch of Halo, should have no great difficulty in preserving it."

Having spoken up to this point, the Supreme of Misfortune sighed lightly, hesitating to continue.

Finding the ruins of the Epoch of Halo with precision surely marked one as an exceptionally powerful individual, rare across all the Epochs.

And such a person could well be this little fellow’s backer.

Entrusting the Epoch of Halo to him was certainly a good choice.

At this moment, Shen Gongbao, upon hearing these words, was lost for words.

After a moment of silence, he whispered again, "Supreme, may I renounce it?"

This time, it was the Supreme of Misfortune’s turn to be speechless. Supreme Battle Power in the Chaotic Universe definitely ranked among the very top, desired by countless Peak Saint Sovereigns unable to achieve it.

And now it was being rejected?

"Um... Supreme," Shen Gongbao said timidly, "once I inherit the core of the Epoch of Halo, I will definitely become a focal point for those powerhouses, the target of their coveting.

So... may I renounce it?

There are so many others to choose from...you could choose somebody more suitable..."

"There’s no one more suitable, just you," the Supreme of Misfortune snorted.

Ungrateful!

Shen Gongbao wanted to say more, but the Supreme of Misfortune waved his hand, and the two of them disappeared.

At that moment, the ruins of the Epoch of Halo trembled.

"The core Primordial Source of the Epoch of Halo has now found its suitable heir."

...

The fluctuations in the ruins of the Epoch of Halo, though subtle, were very clear, almost all powerful beings could feel it.

"Why, I am the last remaining Saint Emperor of the Epoch of Halo, why wasn’t it me?" the Venomflame Holy Emperor couldn’t accept it.

He had come with high hopes, feeling no one was more suitable than he, but the result was too much of a letdown!

The other powerhouses also felt a bit dejected.

After all, such a windfall, everyone hoped it would fall into their own lap.

Many were also guessing who had taken that position.

"The core heir of the Epoch of Halo has already been decided," a Supreme said.

The emergence of two Epoch ruins caught the attention of almost all the Epoch powerhouses.

The previous inheritance left from the Epoch of Reincarnation was clearly beyond reach for anyone other than Vast Wilderness Houtu, but it was unexpected that the Epoch of Halo was determined so quickly.
