Eternal Thief

Chapter 1074 Primordial Ascension Altar

The more Ace looked at the empty throne, the more annoyed he felt. It was like he was looking at something hideous when he compared it to the dark throne.

However, he didn't have time to waste on this useless stuff since he had found the place he was searching for. As for how he knew, on the fate map, the dark golden compass point was now pointing in the direction of the empty throne, and not only that but the map was dyed in a color he had never seen before—the Glittering Amber color!

Ace knew what this color represented. The fate map's fate points and fate locations that indicate the presence of a favorable treasure or favorable location to Ace were divided into three colors and three shades of these colors: lowest Silver (Light, Bright, Glittering), highest Golden (Light, Bright, Glittering), and highest Amber (Light, Bright, Glittering), respectively.

Which made this place have something that Ace must have, and what could be more important than Heaven's Secret? Not to mention now that Ace saw this color, he was sure this Heaven's Secret was something extremely important, not because of the system but individually.

"System, is this where the heaven's secret is hidden?"

Still, Ace wanted to confirm with a system that he was in the right place since there was a possibility that this was another section of the temple with another treasure.

"[Yes! This is the Ascension Temple's heart which is in the epicenter of the Mortal Sky Heaven. The Altar that you're seeing is the Primordial Ascension Altar was birth with the Mortal Sky Heaven itself, and if anyone used that altar to ascend, the chances of them ascending would increase 100%, and they would also receive baptism from the Mortal Sky Heaven's law, bringing unimaginable benefits!]"

Ace raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Oh? You're being overly generous by telling me all this information. How about you also tell me how to reach Heaven's Secret?"

"[System is only telling you this because only by using this Primordial Ascension Altar can the host ascend without getting killed by the final heavenly punishment since the final heavenly punishment is very different from the previous ones!]

"[If you were able to found and successfully steal the Heaven's Secret, you need to step on this Primordial Ascension Altar before getting killed by the Heavenly Mortal Emperor supported by the furious Mortal Sky Heavenly Will!]"

Ace instantly grimaced. The system had already alerted him of this upon the start of this mission, and now that he was so close to his goal, he was feeling the pressure. He almost forgot that the true danger was getting out of there alive after stealing Heaven's Secret!

He also noticed a peculiar point as he asked frowningly, "You just said I need this Prime Ascensions Altar to ascend, don't tell from the start I wouldn't have able to ascend without this altar?"

"[Indeed, host guessed it correctly. As someone with Primordial Qi, you needed the corresponding Ascension Altar, which is the Primordial Ascension Altar, to open your ascension pathway.]

"[Without it, you'll have to break the Heavenly Firmament (Heavenly Space Boundary), and since you are the Primordial Heaven Defier, the Heavenly Punishment will turn into an execution, which means the Heaven will no longer be restrained to kill you and will be able to use its full force. You can think of your previous heavenly punishments, a speck of dust in front of this one!]

"[That's why you need this Primordial Ascension Altar to keep that from happening!]"

Ace felt a chill running down his spine upon hearing this new eerie revelation, and he could tell this voice wasn't emotionless anymore. He questioned agitatedly, "Primordial Heaven Defier? Why am I here about this only now, and how is it different from the Heaven Defier that I know of?"

"[Primordial Heaven Defier is another term for Heaven's Stealer, and more commonly known among Higher Beings, to hide the TRUTH about the Heaven's Stealer! You'll understand in due time, Host!]"

Ace didn't have any good feelings about this and decided to focus on his task at hand since thinking about these damn mysteries would only distract him. Even if he was this Primordial Heaven Defier, this changed the fact that he was Heaven's Enemy, so mulling over these things would do him no good. He just needed to keep walking on this path.

"What about that empty thoron? Why am I feeling this hostility?" Ace asked the final question he was curious about.

However, this time, the system didn't reply and went dormant again as if it had already said what needed to be said, and now Ace was on his own. He sighed perplexedly but didn't dwindle on this any longer.

After getting the new information, Ace quickly made some adjustments in his plan a little and he finally moved towards the empty throne.

As Ace drew closer, a new strange feeling stirred within him. He couldn't shake the sensation that something more resided in this place. His gaze drifted to the base of the throne, where a narrow shadow line separated it from the polished floor.

A faint luminescence seemed to emanate from that gap, and he thought, with shining eyes, 'This is strange. It'slike there's something hidden in here.'

No matter how curious he was, a sense of caution held him back. This place held a power beyond anything he'd ever encountered, and disturbing its tranquility could have unforeseen consequences, which he wanted to avoid at all costs.

Before he invaginate age that gap, Ace decided thoroughly scan the throne from every corner. As for why he was sure this throne was the place he was looking, it was because that strange feeling that stirred upon approaching this throne was none other than his Fortune Sense!

Since he had entered the Mortal Ascension Temple, his thief sense was completely restricted, and he didn't dare to try using it because it was simply too dangerous.

But now, his Fortune Sense suddenly reacted as he approached this throne so he was sure there was something hidden here!
