Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil - Chapter 1849: Coordinates of a Certain Blue Plant

Contrary to the goddess’ belief, Eliza Samael had not been passed the witches’ exclusive technique to extend one’s lifespan. Not really.

Eliza had indeed heard about the technique and had some semblance of knowledge of it. House Samael in Anfang had also been given a partial inheritance related to the technique.

However, what ultimately allowed the Witch of the Enderflame to cast that technique was her own Epiphany at the brink of death.

Eliza had managed to fill in the blanks after the Epiphany, following in the witch goddess’ footsteps. It spoke volumes about her own talent as a once-in-a-million Ranker from Anfang.

One could say that Eliza was better a witch than most witches in Labh Salem even though she did not walk the Path of the Conjurer. With such talent, she would have long become a Saint Rank had she been born in Labh Salem.

Eren, on the other hand, couldn’t help but admire the Great Mother’s ex-clone for her deeds. Not only had she pulled off something impossible, but she also did that while staying under the radar of a vigilant Immortal.

‘I guess the witch goddess and I have more in common with each other than my relation with the Great Mother,’ Eren couldn’t help but come to the obvious conclusion, smiling internally. After all, staying low-key and pulling the rugs off of the opponents was his style of doing things as well.

“Of course, I don’t believe that the witch goddess didn’t have the help from other Immortals,” the goddess’ expression turned cold as she said.

“Not to mention my real form being injured in an ambush when I tried to conduct a thorough investigation of my natal clone’s supposed death. Let’s just say that my ‘colleagues’ didn’t want me to succeed in my ambition to achieve abominated divinity. That’s why I keep my distance from them ever since and also ask my followers to do the same when it comes to their respective followers.”

“So that’s why you wanted me to succeed in claiming God Aleph’s divine throne,” Eren guessed, a smile tugging at his lips. “You’d rather let a third person have his throne than see your ‘colleagues’ succeeding in their ambitions to get a part of God Aleph’s divinity for themselves.”

Eren could tell that the goddess Great Mother was a rebel among the Immortals. She had crafted an ambitious project to achieve abominated divinity like God Aleph without worrying about the cause-and-effect fabric of the boundless cosmos.

Doing something like this would surely have a negative effect on other Immortals. After all, if the lines between the divine and demonic factions became blurred, the fine balance established by the two factions would break, causing many dire consequences for the Immortals whose Divinities were based on the distinction between the two factions.

‘I guess the ex-clone got that rebellious streak from the goddess Great Mother herself,’ Eren thought to himself and chuckled.

“Well, that is indeed correct, but it is only a part of the reason,” the goddess paused midway before deciding to change the subject once again. “Before we get down to business, let me show you the location of the Elder Seed Artifact I found in the boundless cosmos. You can decide to help me or not after that,” the goddess offered.

“Hm? You say it like the Elder Seed Artifact is not on Labh Salem,” Eren looked puzzled.

“I only said I’ll give you the location of the Elder Seed Artifact. But I never said it was in Labh Salem,” the goddess looked at Eren as if he had a lot to learn.

“Besides, Labh Salem already has the witches’ ultimate treasure. Do you think something as rare as an Elder Seed artifact could be found in Labh Salem when there’s already one existing?

You clearly don’t understand how precious the Elder Seed Artifacts are. These artifacts themselves are Immortals like us. How could they be so easily found?

In fact, most Immortals try to look for these Elder Seed Artifacts through their clones, scouring the boundless cosmos in the process. Finding these artifacts by chance acts as a compelling reason for us to leave our home turf.

We also use a significant portion of our staunch followers to make them search the boundless cosmos for a thing like an Elder Seed Artifact.

An Immortal Artifact’s true worth and might could only be understood by an Immortal. After all, only they are able to wield the Elder Seed Artifacts to their full potential.

Immortal Magic is needed for one to tap into the true potential of the Elder Seed Artifacts. This is not something mortal Practitioners could do.

There are some Elder Seed Artifacts that’s not reveal themselves if they find out that we used our clones to take hold of them. And unfortunately for us, the unclaimed Immortal artifacts could only be bound in the mortal plane. So it’s a bit of a dilemma for us.

The reason I’m willing to give the coordinates of this peculiar item is that I want to prioritize my own safety. My “colleagues” are already keeping an eye on me.

They’ll surely lay a trap. But I don’t blame them. At least not anymore. Target me once, shame on you. Target me twice— hehe,” the goddess said patiently.

“Well, that makes sense,” Eren nodded and sighed. “Never mind. Show me the location of the artifact. And then tell me your condition for cooperation. If it’s anything that’d be mutually beneficial for us and worth the risk, I’ll see what I can do,” the butcher said calmly.

“Alright,” the goddess said before stepping aside. She pointed behind her before saying. “Stand inside that Array Formation and I’ll show you. Don’t worry. It’s just a simple consciousness-pulling formation,” the goddess assured.

Eren scanned the Array Formation with his own Spirit Sense and found it to be normal. Saith was only one of the pseudo-avatars in Eren’s possession anyway. So he didn’t mind trusting the goddess for once.

When Eren stepped inside the Array Formation and closed his eyes, his consciousness seemed to have traveled at the speed of light through the boundless cosmos.

He couldn’t keep track of time before he saw the image of a blue planet in front of him. Before he could ask about the world, his consciousness experienced a small tug and was immediately pulled into the atmosphere of the world.

Eren saw towering constructions that had glass-like panels for windows. The vehicles ran through the busy streets without the use of mana. And an overwhelming population of mortals with only a select few supernaturals present among them.

In the end, Eren received a vague mark on his consciousness that appeared in his Soul Space. He could tell that this mark was the coordinates given by the goddess, fulfilling her part of the deal she had struck with him in Anfang.

When Eren opened his eyes, he saw the goddess smiling at him. She stepped forward and said.

“It’s a world dominated by mortals. If you manage to reach this world through your demonic powers, it won’t take much effort for you to grab the Elder Seed Artifact hidden there.”

Eren smiled at the goddess but didn’t comment on her remark. It seemed that the goddess had already considered the possibility of him using demonic ways to traverse the boundless cosmos and possess the living beings there. In the goddess’ defense, his use of the pseudo-avatars had already given it away.

“Let’s worry about the Elder Seed Artifact later,” Eren’s expression turned serious. “Let me hear what you want in exchange.”
