Ring of Fate

Chapter 894 "Gift of the Earth"

"'Gift of the Earth' can make the land within a 300-kilometer radius fertile, the water flow abundant, and the tendency of life to reproduce increase, so that even the most unfavorable environmental conditions cannot prevent life from giving birth, but can only reduce the number and frequency...

"'Gift of the Earth' will randomly cause the land within a 300-kilometer radius to become barren, with no crops and withered plants. Unless the barrenness effect ends, the land will no longer become fertile. This can be suppressed by angel-level abilities like purification, so that the barrenness is limited to a very small area and cannot spread...

"If used actively, 'Gift of the Earth' can cause all life within a thirty-kilometer radius to quickly pass away until death. The abilities outside of similar areas will also gradually wither and be weakened. The dead who have no life will quickly return to the earth if they enter this area...

"'Gift of the Earth' can also fill a 50-kilometer area with all kinds of highly poisonous substances and grow all kinds of extraordinary plants that are beneficial to itself. Similarly, it can also tame all animals in the area that do not have high intelligence, making every extraordinary person's tendency to lose control stronger...

"Through touch, 'Gift of the Earth' can create a puppet from the soil, plants, magma, ore, and metal, and give them a certain amount of life and power. The strongest puppet does not exceed Sequence 3, and the upper limit of the number of puppets at the demigod level is nine...

"'Gift of the Earth' can transform the environment, making the abyss suitable for human survival...

"Those who hold the 'Gift of the Earth' will truly become one with the land, forests, water, mountains, minerals, etc. within the range, and can use them to travel at different speeds...

"Every time you are hit by the 'Gift of the Earth', you will be tested to lose control, and at the same time, to die. If you fail to pass, you will either lose control on the spot, or die directly...

"'Gift of the Earth' allows the holder to temporarily transform into a mythical creature, but the holder needs to be able to withstand the impact of the mystical knowledge and crazy thoughts brought by the corresponding mythical creature's form...

"The Gift of the Earth grants the bearer all the characteristics of a woman...

"The life that comes into contact with the 'Gift of the Earth' will either be cured of all injuries and diseases, or die instantly. The specific result cannot be predicted in advance. According to the prophecy, women with the blood of Omibella who have been betrayed by their immediate family members will not die instantly...

"Even if those who do not meet the above conditions are lucky enough to obtain the healing effect, they cannot use the 'Gift of the Earth' for more than one minute afterwards, otherwise they will lose control or die...

“People who meet the conditions will also suffer other negative effects…

"Anyone who understands the above information, if they do not possess divinity, will most likely become pregnant within the next period of time and bear an unknown creature...

"Note: Except for the prophecy, all descriptions are based on the experience, lessons and cognition of the City of Silver."

After reading the information about "Gift of the Earth", Lumian finally understood why only women with the blood of Omybella and who had been betrayed by their immediate family members could touch, pick up and use this "0" level seal for a short period of time. For other people, it would be purely a gamble with their lives. Unless there is no other way to heal the injuries and diseases on the body, or unless they encounter a crisis that cannot be overcome normally, no one will try it.

"But it is really strong, worthy of being a '0' level sealed item. Moreover, if it is used for a short period of time, the negative impact will not be completely unacceptable. It is just that the desolation effect must be suppressed, and at the same time, the enemy must be prevented from turning into a more terrifying evil spirit after death..." Lumian muttered to himself silently for a few words and focused his attention on the most critical content.

That was the part where Omibella, in a very bad state, walked to the Silver City to seek sacrifice.

According to the "Magician", Omybella's identity and destiny had been stolen at this time, and the people of Silver City could not have known that the female giant before them was the "Harvest Goddess" Omybella.

But according to the records, the residents of Silver City knew without a doubt that it was Omibella, and they did not even have any doubts or raise any objections.

They believed that this was a fact that did not need to be verified, and it was reflected in the records in just two short sentences, which were intended to describe that Omibella arrived at the Silver City by walking.

Lumian raised his head and looked at Mr. Sun who was sitting against the wall, and asked thoughtfully:

"What kind of image did 'Harvest Goddess' Omibella appear in when she arrived at the City of Silver?"

He remembered that it was mentioned in previous records that Omibella had descended on the City of Silver many times, mainly in two forms, one representing harvest and reproduction, and the other symbolizing desolation and death.

This made Lumian wonder if Omibella had two identities. The one whose fate was stolen was "Harvest and Reproduction", and the one who went to the City of Silver to seek sacrifice was "Desolation and Death".

Mr. Sun shook his head:
“There was no record of it at the time.”

Lumian propped his cheek with his hand and thought silently:

"From the point of view of asking the City of Silver to sacrifice half of its people, it is indeed closer to the image of 'desolation and death'...

"But if the image of 'harvest and reproduction' is severely damaged, it is possible to take life to help itself recover...

"Also, two images are understandable, but how can two identities be concentrated in one person... Could it be that the 'Harvest Goddess' Omybella had stolen the identity and fate of another Omybella before? He is not a 'thief', and there is no legend that He possesses similar items..."

Lumian pondered for a moment, then stood up and said:

"I want to touch the 'Gift of the Earth'."

See what kind of resonance the Omibella bloodline can bring and what information can be obtained.

Mr. "Sun" Derrick Berg stood up:

"it is good."

Wearing a simple white robe, he walked steadily in front, entered the round tower from the connection on the second floor, then went down all the way, passed through the deep and dark dungeon, and arrived at a heavy stone door that opened.

Behind the stone gate is a mottled staircase extending downwards. Points of morning light shine through from the depths, bringing some visibility.

Lumian found that the walls on both sides of the stairs were wet, as if they were soaked with water droplets, and clusters of hair-like black plants emerged from the cracks and hung there.

The further down the stairs you go, the brighter the morning light becomes. Mushrooms of various colors, golden wheat ears, unique black-faced grass and other things grow between the moist walls and the black plants in the hair-like state. The spirituality in the air becomes more lively and vigorous.

Lumian's heart began to beat fast, as if he was returning to his mother's arms, or finding his past self.

He heard the sound of blood flowing, which seemed to come from his body, but also seemed to come from the bottom of the stairs.

"It's really Omebella... The Invisible Son of God is indeed Omebella..." Lumian sighed and calmed himself down.

His hair was growing inch by inch inside the cloak, and his skin became smoother and more elastic.

After going down for a while, Lumian saw the sunlight, which came from Mr. "Sun".

Pure, warm, sacred golden light quickly filled the area, forcing the desolate power and the breath of death to retreat to the edge.

Seeing this scene, Lumian instinctively thought of the "disease" and "plague" of the "witch":
"In such a sunny area, most of the occult pathogens will quickly die out, but a few common pathogens may survive..."

Finally, "The Sun" Derrick Berg and Lumian arrived at a large room filled with dots of morning light.

The place was filled with the smell of soil, grass and flowers. The ceiling, floor and walls were covered with black hair-like things, and all kinds of plants and mushrooms grew there.

In the middle of the room, there was a pile of brown soil with a huge withered tree trunk stuck on top.

The trunk of the tree was just about to reach the ceiling. It was seven or eight meters high and required three or four people to hug it. Most of the bark on the surface had fallen off, and the remaining part was gray-brown in color.

The center of the tree had become hollow, and the exposed wood facing Lumian and Mr. Sun was partially raised and partially sunken, outlining a legless, human-like pattern.

The figure used the branches on the tree trunk as hands, and his face was extremely distorted, with two huge crimson flowers serving as eyes.

Hints of blood are faintly visible in the wood texture of its "surface".

"This is the 'Gift of the Earth'." The sacred sunlight created by Mr. Sun merged with the morning light in the room.

Lumian could feel his blood boiling, and felt that he had an extremely close blood connection with the withered tree trunk.

The two are originally one.

Lumian seemed to be summoned and walked forward subconsciously. His simple and clean face seemed to be radiating its own light in the morning light mixed with sunlight.

One step, two steps, three steps... He came to the top of the pile of brown soil and stopped in front of the withered giant tree.

"The Sun" Derrick Berg did not stop her.

Lumian took a breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to use the "mirror substitute". Then he stretched out his right palm with even bones and flesh and slender fingers and touched the withered tree trunk with traces of blood oozing out.

As soon as his fingers touched the dull wood, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind:
The sky was hazy, as if covered by dark fog. A huge light and shadow that seemed to be able to support the heaven and earth appeared in front, and behind it was a strange figure outlined by blurred lines...

Such a scene flashed by, and was followed by darkness without a trace of light and an extremely quiet silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a mournful cry could be heard from the darkness and silence:

"My child, Omibella...

"My child, Omibella..."

Lumian was suddenly pulled out of the illusion, as if he was forcibly pushed away from the "Gift of the Earth" by an invisible force.

He immediately felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, which was a little cold like the moonlight.

That was the mark of the contract from "abnormally severed hand" being activated, but it did not produce any effect, bringing about "teleportation" and "flash".
