The brocade box remained silent under Jacob's scrutiny as if really considering the pros and cons of accepting Jacob's offer.
Furthermore, Jacob had just made it clear he wouldn't let the brocade box go, no matter what, and in its current state, there was really no way to resist him.
However, the Artifact Spirit was hesitant because Jacob was simply too weak right now, but deep down, the artifact spirit was really afraid of Jacob's threats and knew they weren't empty promises.
At this moment, the Artifact Spirit finally spoke, "I can agree to follow you…"
Jacob's eyes flared with a hint of ecstasy as he thought he had really managed to convince this divine artifact to follow him on its own volition, which would mean he had just gained a treasure trove of a Higher Law God!
But the Artifact Spirit wasn't done as it continued, "However, you need to first prove yourself. I need to make sure that you really have what it takes to surpass the Higher Law God Rank Void Mantis!"
