Eternal Thief

Chapter 916 Life Jade of New Dawn

There were many assumptions and conjectures, but these things only made reaching the truth even more complex.

In the end, Ace decided not to invest in this issue more than he needed to because he already had all the pieces, and all that remained was to find and unlock this lock that might reveal the truth.

As for the remaining two items, the ethereal white shard was the time-space fragment, one of the two materials he needed to upgrade his thief's space. Lastly, the five-foot silver oval, which was releasing a dense life force, was a beast egg of some unknown beast; at least it looked like one.

Ace also had many to them, but they never hatched in the thief's space for some reason, nor did the system bother to entertain such a topic. The system was only interested in the egg of the Nether Paradise Bird.

He would've ignored it if this egg wasn't placed with those three treasures, probably the most precious treasures of the Devil Ancestor, because there was another treasury with many eggs, so this one egg being here was quite suspicious.

So, without hesitation, he touched the silver egg and asked the system to appraise it, which cost him ten thousand TP, which was an insignificant amount at this point.

Ace's eyes shone with surprise since it wasn't expecting this 'egg' to be a natural treasure. He took it as a living creature because of its dense life force, but it turned out to be a life-saving treasure and a scarce one at that, and he wondered where that old bastard found it and the time-space fragment.

Edward had too many rare things; his luck had been highly great until he met Ace!

'That old bastard probably stored it here because of its dense life force, or he might have other uses for it. I need to check his treasures once I get the chance thoroughly.' Ace thought.

"Do you know what it is?" Eva asked as she was silently watching. She now knew that Ace also seemed able to appraise items after touching them.

Ace hesitated for a moment before he told her about the effect of Life Jade of New Dawn.

"Bring a mortal back to death?" Eva's eyes shone with dense light before it dwindled once she heard there was a limited time, and looking at Ace's worried expression, she knew what he was thinking.

She smiled helplessly as she said, "You were heisting because you think I would be disappointed since it has a feature to bring someone from death. But you don't need to worry about it. Even I have some secret techniques that can help me achieve the same effect.

"But she died over three decades ago, and even with some heaven-defying mean by any chance I can bring back to life, I won't do it. Because there is a steep consequence of bringing someone back to life, one of them being the thing that comes back to life would not be my mom but something else. Unless the soul weren't preserved and had completely vanished, it would be a true death, and nothing can change that.

"Even in the abyssal race, this kind of act is taboo, and death is part of the natural cycle of every living thing. No one can escape it unless they can conquer it, which is impossible. We should let the dead rest in peace, and I'm planning to do the same thing for my mother to honor her memories." She solemnly said with a tingle of grief.

Ace was startled by Eva's assuring words and couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed to think she was weak will. He just felt gratified that she was his woman.

"It was wrong to think like that. I apologize." Ace embarrassedly said.

Eva smiled freshly, creating a breathtaking scene as her devilish charm rose to the fullest, "As long as you know. Now, send me back. I know you have things to do, and I might be able to get some answers out of that old hag as well. Since she was that old dog's companion, she might know more." Murderous flashed past Eva's eyes, "I also need to break through quickly to seek out the remaining murderers of my mom and find out what happened to my dad."

Ace saw the deep conviction in Eva's eyes, and he didn't want to be a hindrance to her or stop her from seeking revenge. However, their enemies were still too cunning, especially the Dream Shatter.

But in front of absolute power, they can do nothing, and he had a clear path towards such power right in his hand. So, he gave her a tight hug and then kissed her goodbye.

Now, Margret's already torturous life would become an actual hell, and Ace doesn't have a sliver of sympathy for her, especially after learning about the blueprint. She deserved it all the more, if anything.

As for Ace himself, he sent himself back within the demon mountain, and then he let the system start the absorption process of Baphomet's statue. The allure of getting two 99.99% laws was too great, and the power that came with it was something he needed right now.

Because he was going to do something extremely crazy before he got right back to his mission, and those two laws were just a godsend.

Now that he thinks that there might be someone lurking in the shadows behind the three ancestors who had been pulling their strings all this time, he can't hold back his progress any longer, especially when he can reach the top of this world with a simple command!
