Chapter 355: Chapter 222: Incomplete Divine Relic

Christian also noticed the half star and felt that the newcomer had a lot to offer, because he was very stable and serene. In terms of demeanor, he was much better than Gemini and Leo, even Taurus. This was the elegance that only true aristocrats could cultivate. Finally, someone presentable arrived, and his team was expanding.

Taurus, the sly old man, unknowingly activated the third Life Star. It seems to be a blessing in disguise. Miss Aries’ Life Star brightness increased, indicating she was getting stronger. The hangers-on Cancer and Leo showed no change. Leo was understandable, given his current conditions, as he had just awakened one star. Gemini seemed stuck on one star, and Christian really wanted to expel them.

Cantona explained in detail to the newcomer Mr. Libra about the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc situation, and the Round Table Conference members realized a problem. They couldn’t choose new members; the people who arrived must be accepted because everyone shares the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc. Currently, they cannot find the pattern of how the Star Disc selects members. Since selection is unavoidable, they must strive to integrate each new member into the Round Table Conference, at least not becoming enemies; otherwise, it could easily lead to the collapse of the entire Round Table Conference.

And sincerity is fundamental.

Cantona spoke extensively about the summoning rules of the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc and their discovered patterns, though the more in-depth details would not be discussed at this time.

After Cantona’s introduction, Simmons’ brain was also rapidly processing the information. The Round Table Conference was formed as a temporary organization due to the summoning of the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc. Currently, this organization is still relatively loose, mainly used for exchanging secret information and helping each other improve; it hasn’t formed a leader yet. Due to the mechanism’s ability to conceal, it serves as good protection for strangers, which is a benefit outweighing the drawbacks, or rather, at present, it appears to be only beneficial.

“Thank you, Mr. Taurus. It’s an honor to join the Round Table Conference family.” Simmons stood up and greeted.

From this gentlemanly demeanor, everyone could easily judge Simmons was probably from a good background, although it’s not so important here.

Then starting with Miss Aries, they introduced themselves one by one. As the temporarily only female, Miss Aries still had the group’s affection, though her introduction to the new member was brief, mainly for familiarity.

Simmons could sense Miss Aries’ extraordinariness. Her salute was different from everyone else’s, extraordinarily standard, with a kind of inherent composure and nobility, definitely from an extremely noble background.

Mr. Taurus was filled with untamed heroism and cheerfulness, yet had a clear thought process in conversation. This indicates he was well-educated, a mix of pairings that don’t usually align. His experiences must be very rich, and he’s the eldest among them, but neither Mr. Taurus nor Miss Aries are the leaders of the Round Table Conference.

Mr. Gemini has only activated the First Life Star, but when he spoke, everyone naturally turned towards him, their bodies instinctively straightened. This indicates that Mr. Gemini with one star holds high reputation within the Round Table Conference. Of course, Simmons is not one to judge people solely by their star level. More importantly, damn, this voice, although slightly different, was familiar enough to be etched into the bones, very much like Brother Li!

No escaping this lifetime, is Brother Li pulling him into the fold, step by step making him betray the Earth Mother Goddess?

Ties, karmic bonds?

Mr. Leo was relatively silent and simple, somewhat reserved, saying he came from Mist Continent, something Simmons hadn’t heard of, but presumably the others already knew. As a newcomer, he wouldn’t rush to ask more.

Mr. Cancer… very proud, very confident, seeming like an aristocrat, but his actions were a bit deliberate, indicating his current high status, though the family’s history isn’t long.

Judging from the reaction of others, there was admiration for Cancer, as he was also a three-star initiator, but not the leader. More eyes were on the one-star Mr. Gemini, Leo’s was especially apparent, indicating familiarity between them.

Simmons had a general understanding, though this was only superficial; continued observation was needed.

“As per our Round Table Conference’s tradition of welcoming newcomers, you can ask each of us one question, and we can also ask you one question. These questions can be left unanswered if unwilling.” Miss Aries spoke, “Mr. Libra, you may ask your question.”

Simmons looked at Miss Aries before him, thinking for a moment, “Miss Aries, why is the brightness of everyone else’s Life Star full, but mine is only half?”

Given Mr. Taurus’s introduction, others might have already comprehended the condition of Divine Relic activation, but what went wrong in Simmons’ case?

“Mr. Libra, our most knowledgeable person regarding secret information here is Mr. Cancer. I don’t know the answer to this question; you might want to change the question.” Estella said apologetically.

Simmons glanced at the slightly raised head of Mr. Cancer, another three-star initiator with a wealth of knowledge, implying a very deep background and strong support, uh, inconsistent with his previous judgment, “Thank you, Miss Aries, as a newcomer I ought to abide by the rules, you may ask me a question now.”

“Can Mr. Libra read the words on the page?” Estella asked, which was indeed something everyone cared about, as the words on the page strongly relate to the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc.

Simmons noted the page, carefully observing again, “Ashamed to admit, I consider myself acquainted with many scripts but have never encountered this type… It seems not to be a commonly seen script on Dao Yuan Continent.”

“Thank you, Mr. Libra, for your answer.”

“Mr. Taurus, what are the conditions for the Star Disc’s summoning of us, are there any patterns?” Simmons turned to Mr. Taurus to inquire. Some patterns, like not leaving one’s seat for long periods, constellation flickering indicating entry or exit, were mentioned by Taurus, so he should know more.

“This pattern has yet to be summarized; I surmise the Star Disc’s active summoning occurs only when we enter a sleep state. As for why we are summoned, there are still no clues.” Cantona thought for a moment before saying, also glancing at others.

Everyone nodded, Simmons expressed his gratitude, “Mr. Taurus, your question please.”

“Mr. Libra, do you believe in the Earth Mother Goddess?”

“I am a devout believer in the Earth Mother Goddess.” Simmons stated as indisputable fact.

Simmons looked at Mr. Gemini, though having made judgments, he wouldn’t reveal in this setting. “Mr. Gemini, what do you think of this Twelve Zodiac Star Disc?”

Li Xin looked at Mr. Libra, damn, Simmons unexpectedly arrived and awakened the Third Life Star. The two knew each other so well, despite the certain techniques of the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, such male intuition and tacit understanding are hard to block.

“I think it’s a good place to make friends.” Li Xin said, “Meeting through fate from a thousand miles apart.”

Simmons nodded, exhaled in relief as this indicated a manageable risk.

“Mr. Libra, when did you awaken the Third Life Star?” Li Xin was curious too, everyone awakened their stars too easily, making him seem sluggish. He was giving the Transcendence Faction a bad name.

“Not long ago, just after having a meal.” Simmons replied.

?

Li Xin was speechless, Was it the meal with Dragon Mother? Damn, what a mess, he thought he had wronged the young master, but the young master delighted instead, making him the clown?

“Thank you, Mr. Libra, for your answer.” Li Xin said.

“Too kind, Mr. Gemini.” Simmons laughed.

“Mr. Leo, may I ask what Mist Continent is like? I haven’t heard of it.” Simmons turned to the always silent Mr. Leo.

“Mist Continent might be a place on the Dao Yuan Continent, an abandoned area shrouded in cursed fog. The place where we live is called Divpo City…” Batty explained about Divpo City, subconsciously hoping the other knew, as this could mean potential escape from Divpo City, therefore, the description attempted to be as detailed as possible.

Simmons listened bewildered, this shouldn’t be knowledge of the Sixth Epoch.

“Mr. Libra, have you heard of our location?” Batty asked hopefully.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Leo, this is my first time hearing of it, but I judge this may be a situation from before the Sixth Epoch, perhaps the Fifth, or even the Fourth Epoch. It’s possible certain forces isolated it from the outside world, but since we could all appear here and connect, it indicates such isolation has limitations.” Simmons replied thoughtfully, “Or rather, it has been broken.”

Everyone’s eyes brightened, viewing Mr. Libra’s gaze differently for this unusual insight, implying a foundation built on secret knowledge.

Batty stood up to express gratitude, Simmons reciprocated the gesture.

Finally, it was Mr. Cancer’s turn, Simmons posed the question he just asked, “Mr. Cancer, why is my Life Star only half?”

Christian didn’t answer immediately, counting seconds, lifting his chin to the required angle, “Because your Divine Relic is incomplete. To be precise, your situation likely involves a rare composite type, where you possess or control only half due to some reason, yet miraculously continue awakening. Whether you have talent or not, you’re half-done with the potential, but you’re still waking quickly.”

This half?

Simmons was blank-headed, never thought about this issue, composite?

His Knight’s Shield, could it possibly involve a sword too?

Simmons found a peculiar thought occurring in his mind, “Thank you, Mr. Cancer, for your advice.”

The others smiled knowingly; the new Mr. Libra had a nice personality, not bothered at all by Mr. Cancer’s teasing, resembling more of a gentleman than Mr. Cancer.

Christian arrogantly lifted his head, eager to continue conquering this newcomer, “It would be best if you quickly awaken the other half, hopping on one leg will eventually cause trouble.”

“Mr. Cancer, does this mean Mr. Libra needs to seek another Divine Relic?” Li Xin asked, as Simmons’ Divine Relic was obtained from the Secret Castle, lacking half, where would he find the rest.

Christian’s lips curled into a proud smile, “If you don’t understand, don’t speak nonsense. It’s all up to his fortune.”

Li Xin awkwardly rubbed his nose, accustomed to it.
