After more than a month of travel, Ender returned to the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp.
...
At the same time, in the distant Ancient Thunder Empire, Domain Master Enio looked at the light screen in front of him, which displayed the battle between Ender and Tongli.
"a Stellar Rank with a Domain, and he even joined the Molten Rock Empire's military to eliminate Star Pirates. He's most likely a student of the Molten Rock Empire's Stellar Training Camp!"
After inferring Ender's identity, Domain Master Enio felt a bit agitated; he sensed that this matter was very troublesome.
The Molten Rock Empire was already difficult to meddle with, and the Stellar Training Camp was one of the Molten Rock Empire's core departments, even less a place he could interfere with.
"Am I just going to let him take that treasure?"
Domain Master Enio was very unwilling. He had spent a fortune and many favors to acquire that treasure. To get it, he had even secretly used his Family's funds.
But now that treasure was gone, obtained by a Stellar Rank youngster. He was a youngster he could crush with a single finger, yet he couldn't lay a hand on him.
"I secretly used the Family's funds, and the amount reached nearly two Mixed units!"
Domain Master Enio gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "If Ancestor discovers that I used such a vast amount of Family funds, I will lose my chance to inherit the Family!
"Given the special nature of that treasure, as long as I bring it back and give it to Ancestor, my chances of inheriting the Family will greatly increase, but now..."
"If only I had gone to get that treasure myself!"
As soon as he thought of this, Domain Master Enio wished he could drag Tongli back and flog his corpse.
Tongli had worked under him for several hundred years and had never made a mistake, but he never expected that when a mistake did occur, it would be such a big problem!
The Delarosa Family was currently at a crucial period. Enio had been vying for the position of heir within the Family. Originally, being younger, he had more hope of securing the heir's position than another World Master in the Family.
But now his hope was slim, even less than that of the last Universe Level candidate.
If the Family heir's position merely involved managing some funds or other resources, Domain Master Enio wouldn't care at all.
The fact was, the heir's identity would mean that the Delarosa Family would invest a large amount of resources to Cultivate the heir to the World Master Level!
Because the Delarosa Family's World Master Ancestor had less than 100,000 years of lifespan remaining and needed to Cultivate another World Master Level expert to replace him and become the new pillar.
"I must find a way to make up for this mistake!"
Domain Master Enio's mind raced, beginning to ponder how to rectify his error.
If he were to go to the Molten Rock Empire to trouble Ender, he wouldn't dare. Emperor Molten Rock's name was quite famous in the Ganwu Universe Country. How could a Domain Master like him dare to pull a tiger's whiskers!
While thinking of a solution, he watched the video he had purchased at a great cost from a World Master Family in the Ancient Thunder Empire. That World Master Family was the backer of the Star Pirates' base.
When he saw the scene of Ender's rapid recovery from injuries, Domain Master Enio's eyes suddenly lit up; he thought of a solution!
"A Domain reaching the fourth level indicates his talent, and his body can rapidly recover from injuries. Doesn't this fit the characteristics of the special ability Source of Life?"
The more Domain Master Enio thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Regardless of whether his special ability is Source of Life or not, I will insist that his special ability is very likely Source of Life. Even if I capture him and confirm it's not, as long as the treasure is returned, it will still make up for my mistake."
"I will report the news that his special ability is Source of Life to Ancestor, letting Ancestor decide whether to act and capture him. At the same time, I will report the matter of using Family funds. With this prior matter as a prelude, I might still have a chance to become the Family heir."
Thinking of this, Domain Master Enio suddenly stood up and walked outside, heading towards Ancestor's residence.
Half an hour later.
Domain Master Enio stood outside Ancestor's manor, awaiting Ancestor's summons.
Not long after, a servant came to lead him into the manor.
After flying for a while within the manor, he finally met Ancestor, Daniel Delarosa.
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Delarosa Family was tending to a plant.
Gently snipping off a branch, Daniel asked, without looking away, "Enio, is something the matter?"
This Ancestor Daniel appeared as a middle-aged man, but there was a hint of decaying twilight in his aura, as if foreshadowing that his great lifespan was nearing its end!
Enio respectfully said, "Ancestor, I discovered a Stellar Rank youngster with the special ability Source of Life!"
Daniel's hand paused, and he turned to look at Enio, who was respectfully bowing his head, asking, "Are you sure?"
"There's a ninety percent possibility!" Enio's tone was certain.
"Do you have proof?"
"Ancestor, there's a video as proof." Enio opened his communicator and projected a light screen in front of Ancestor, specifically playing the scenes of Ender's rapid recovery from injuries and his use of Domain during his battle with Tongli.
After watching the video, Daniel asked indifferently, "How did you discover him?"
"It's time!" Enio's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, then he feigned gritting his teeth and said, "I secretly used the Family's funds to purchase a treasure that allows one to comprehend Law, but then my subordinate..."
"Molten Rock Empire Stellar Training Camp." After listening to Enio's words, Daniel's eyelids lowered as he pondered, "From the video, it does seem very likely to be Source of Life."
Source of Life, one of the top three special abilities in the Universe, not only enhances Wood Origin Law talent but also has many characteristics such as accelerating body recovery and energy recovery, and even allows for rapid Divine Power recovery after becoming Immortal!
The Delarosa Family had once produced an Immortal. Although this Immortal had fallen long ago, he left behind much knowledge and information that many World Master Families could not obtain.
Daniel, with his extraordinary insight, saw Ender's unusual qualities and deduced that his special ability was highly likely Source of Life.
"A high probability of being Source of Life is worth gambling on." The Ancestor of the Delarosa Family thought to himself, "The two Domain Master in the Family have average talent; becoming a World Master would require a huge price. If an excellent descendant of the Family could undergo Possession of the Source of Life ability, my probability of Cultivating a World Master within 90,000 years would greatly increase!"
After thinking it over, Daniel instructed, "Send someone to capture him."
Enio was somewhat dumbfounded and asked, "Ancestor, he's in the Molten Rock Empire's Stellar Training Camp. How can we capture him?"
"Doesn't the Stellar Training Camp like to eliminate Star Pirates? Then send more people to let them eliminate them. As long as the target can be lured out, that's enough."
Enio's eyes lit up, "I understand, Ancestor!"
"Go." Daniel resumed pruning the branches, "If you handle this matter well, I won't pursue the matter of you using Family funds."
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Enio's heart swelled with joy, and he turned to leave to arrange his forces.
Long after Enio left, Daniel turned to glance in the direction the former had departed, making up his mind.
If the matter succeeded and people from the Molten Rock Empire came knocking, this junior, who dared to scheme against him, would contribute to the Family and appease the Molten Rock Empire's wrath.
He didn't believe that a Domain Master couldn't appease the Molten Rock Empire's wrath. Could it be that the Molten Rock Empire would go to war with him, a dying World Master Level expert, for the sake of a Stellar Rank youngster...?
