Chapter 888: Chapter 431: That’s Just 78 Small Goals

"It actually spoke..."

Mu You was astounded; resurrection indeed required Divinity.

However, he had just injected a total of 50 points of Divinity, which barely allowed the creature’s jawbone to move, restoring its ability to speak. To fully resurrect it and animate all of its dragon bones, how much Divinity would be needed?

At this moment, a quest prompt popped up in the game.

[Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden quest: Resurrect the Suppressed Bone Dragon.]

[Quest Content: This pitiful Bone Dragon has been suppressed here for a long time. Even if it committed wrongs in the past, it should have been redeemed over the passage of time. Collect enough Divinity to help this Bone Dragon escape its confines in the desert.]

[Time Limit: None.]

[Quest Reward: Earn the Bone Dragon’s recognition, making it battle for you.]

Mu You successfully triggered the quest; however, he didn’t rush to accept it. Instead, he took advantage of their ability to communicate and had a conversation with the Bone Dragon to confirm its situation.

[You inquire about the Bone Dragon’s origins and experiences.]

[The Bone Dragon tells you that it was originally a very ordinary young dragon from the Dragon Valley. Not long after its birth, it accidentally strayed into the Star Spirit World due to an unforeseen event.]

[The young dragon, naive and ignorant upon entering the Star Spirit World, caused trouble everywhere, enslaving beings incessantly. It thought that with its status as a Divine Beast, it could dominate and flourish effortlessly in this mortal realm, and swiftly become a regional tyrant. However, no more than a few years after it gained the moniker ’Evil Dragon,’ it was suppressed by several reclusive powerhouses and sealed in the desert.]

[The Bone Dragon is uncertain about how many years it has been sealed. In the thousands of years that have passed, its flesh has dissipated, leaving only a scattered skeleton. The Divinity within it has almost entirely drained away, and even its soul is on the verge of collapse.]

[Now, your arrival has finally given it hope! The Bone Dragon earnestly promises you with the honor of the Dragon Clan that as long as you can help it regain freedom, until it returns to its homeland of Dragon Valley, it is willing to submit to you, obey your commands, and fight for you!]

"Suppressed for thousands of years..."

Mu You was astounded; this meant that the creature must have strayed into the Star Spirit World in the previous era or even earlier.

In essence, this being’s past was that of a mythological creature, newly arrived in the Star Spirit World and unaware of its depths. Thinking that a higher-dimensional being could act unrestrained in a lower-dimensional world, it insisted on playing the villain rather than behaving like a proper Divine Dragon, causing various disasters in the Star Spirit World. Naturally, this provoked the local experts, who joined forces to give it a beating, suppressed it beneath the desert, and that’s where it had remained sealed off until now...

Mu You shook his head. The dragon’s fate was even worse than that of a certain Stone Monkey, who was only suppressed for five hundred years while this dragon has been sealed for tens of thousands of years...

Of course, there was nothing to pity. It had brought this upon itself. After a lengthy suppression, the Bone Dragon’s former rage and arrogance had clearly dissipated, and now, it would rather submit to a mortal as a pet in exchange for freedom.

However, Mu You noticed a bit of cunning in the Bone Dragon’s words.

The quest mentioned that whoever released it would command its service in battle, but now the language had changed to "before it returns to the homeland of Dragon Valley," serving him in battle.

Clearly, the Dragon did not intend to be a pet forever.

Mu You wasn’t bothered by this; the fact that it was haggling showed that it would honor its agreements and not turn its back on him as soon as it was freed.

Besides, with the explicit quest prompt as an additional safeguard, Mu You had yet to see a system-certified quest that could be unilaterally reneged upon.

[You agree to the Bone Dragon’s request.]

[You ask the Bone Dragon how much Divinity is needed for it to be resurrected.]

[The Bone Dragon tells you that it does not need to recover all its strength, but to animate its skeletal body completely, it needs to at least reach a four-star level. That requires a minimum of another thousand points of Divinity...]

"A thousand points..."

Mu You took a breath, a twitch forming at the corner of his eye.

You should know that Divinity and Divine Crystals aren’t the same thing. Divine Crystals are physical objects that can be traded and gifted freely, whereas Divinity that has been absorbed into the body is presently not tradable between players.

Many players have obtained initial Divinity through the Tower of Heroes, but those who possess Divine Crystals are few, as the sole method of obtaining Divine Crystals so far requires venturing into the Titan world.

Mu You himself had spent a bit more than an hour during his last venture in the opposing world and ended up with only a dozen or so Divine Crystals. It would be even less for others.

If it had been only one or two hundred points, he might have managed to cobble that together with some networking, but a thousand points definitely exceeded the scope of "borrowing." The only option was to purchase openly in the game world.

With this in mind, Mu You switched to the trade interface on the forum to take a look.

After a few days of pioneering, quite a few players had now obtained Divine Crystals in the Titan world. Most who had been there had seven or eight, and at the very least one or two. With various guides’ help, those who came out empty-handed were actually in the minority.

Therefore, there were already numerous posts on the forum looking to purchase crystals, primarily from major forces.

Although the Faith System had not yet been launched, anyone who had been through the tower climbing knew the importance of Divinity. In the not-too-distant future, it might become a strategic resource. Acting on the principle of "one step ahead is better than none," storing some in advance could never be wrong.
