Chapter 376: 376, The Divine Instrument is Born – The Sword of Many Proverbs_1
Cindy Doppler saw Su Yu leap down from the third floor, and smiled as she walked towards him:
” Mr. Wing of the Sky, everything you requested has been purchased and is now placed in a warehouse on the west side of town. We can go pick it up right now.”
“Mr. Wing of the Sky” was an alias Cindy Doppler gave to Su Yu. After all, she couldn’t just call Su Yu “Number One” in front of others, could she?
Upon learning Su Yu’s real name, Cindy Doppler decided to give him the nickname “Wing of the Sky” because of the character “Yu” in his name.
Many powerhouses on Skru Star liked to use such nicknames, such as “Freedom Wing”, “True Silver Holy Sword”, “Storm Executioner”, and so forth, so it didn’t sound odd at all.
Hearing Cindy Doppler’s words, Su Yu nodded, “Alright, we’ll go now.”
At this time, Morning Star also jumped out from the third floor window, and Su Yu swiftly caught her in his arms.
“Sir, please get into the vehicle.” Cindy Doppler made a “please” gesture towards the hover car.
Su Yu did not hesitate and got into the car while holding Morning Star.
The hover car emitted a dull roar as the strips of light on the car body lit up with white light, and it quickly sped towards the west side of the city.
…
In the hover car, Cindy Doppler didn’t engage Su Yu in too much conversation.
Once she got into the car, she continued to make calls, her tone full of tension and anxiety.
Out of politeness, Su Yu didn’t eavesdrop on what Cindy Doppler was saying, instead using his magic to temporarily block his hearing.
When Cindy Doppler finished her call, Su Yu unbanned his hearing and asked, “Did something important happen?”
Cindy Doppler replied solemnly:
“Mr. Wing of the Sky, a significant event of international importance has occurred. It hasn’t been reported by the media yet, but it has set off alarm bells among all the seventh order powerhouses globally! At least 10 out of 15 God-Level powerhouses have already made their moves.
To put it in a blunt way, the impact of this event is even bigger than when you sunk the….”
Cindy Doppler initially wanted to say “sunk the Floating Island”, but she quickly realized her mistake and corrected herself: “bigger than when you sunk the village pond!”
“Pfft!” Morning Star couldn’t help but laugh out loud, clutching her belly and convulsing with laughter.
A slight twitch trembled at the corner of Su Yu’s mouth, “Sinking the village pond”, really?
However, he started to take things seriously: “What big event?”
What terrifying event could have occurred in such a short time to alarm 10 God-Level powerhouses?
“Could it be that the Holy Silver Federation has suddenly withdrawn all interstellar portals?” Su Yu speculated.
“Of course not.” Cindy Doppler shook her head: “The Federation withdrawing the portals would not attract so much attention from God-Level powerhouses. The major event that occurred is – our planet’s only super artifact has emerged!”
“Super artifact?” Su Yu turned to look at Cindy Doppler, Morning Star also turned her gaze towards him.
“Yes, this super artifact is called ‘Sword of Many Proverbs’. Reliable sources say that one component of the super artifact, the ‘hilt of the Sword of Many Proverbs’ is about to appear on the ‘Wild Continent’. All the God-Level powerhouses rushed there immediately.”
Cindy Doppler’s face turned flushed with excitement:
“The ‘Sword of Many Proverbs’ consists of two components: the ‘Hilt of the Sword of Many Proverbs’ and the ‘Blade of the Sword of Many Proverbs’. Whoever can gather these two components will possess the power to rule the world!”
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu gave a knowing look which read, “I’m not well-read, don’t pull my leg.”
Acquire the power to rule the world? Why did he feel like he was watching a children’s cartoon?
As a kid, many animations he watched were all about gathering specific items to rule the world, such as “Gather the seven Dragon Balls to rule the world”, “collect all the magic beans to rule the world”, “collect all millennium artifacts to rule the world”…
He was already past the age of believing such things. Furthermore, why hadn’t he heard of the “Sword of Many Proverbs” in his previous life? Could Cindy Doppler be messing with him?
“Can we not joke around?” Su Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, with a darkened expression on his face.
“I’m not joking, this super artifact really does exist,” Cindy Doppler asserted earnestly:
“The ‘Sword of Many Proverbs’ is a weapon left by a Stellar-Level powerhouse 400 years ago. Whoever wields this sword can temporarily gain the power of a Planet-Level powerhouse. I can’t speak for anything else, but it would surely be more than enough to rule over Skru Star alone.
For the past 400 years, the God-Level powerhouses on our planet have been tirelessly searching for this sword. The main reason why the Skru Federation invaded Blue Star was to gain enough Spiritual Energy to power the artefact that could locate this sword.
Now that the ‘Hilt of the Sword of Many Proverbs’ has emerged, it is only natural that God-Level powerhouses will rush to it as soon as possible.”
Su Yu knew a bit about the terms like “Planet Level” and “Stellar Level” powerhouses.
“Planet-Level” referred to those who could annihilate all life on a Level 1 civilization planet single-handedly within 10 days; they could be called “Planet-Level” powerhouses;
(Level 1 Civilization referred to a civilization that could conduct interstellar immigration and transformation. In comparison, the current Blue Star is approximately a 0.75-level civilization, while Skru Star has just crossed over into the threshold of a Level 1 Civilization.)
“Stellar-Level” referred to those who could destroy a star (with a minimum diameter of about one-tenth of the Sun) in 100 days; they could be called “Stellar-Level” powerhouses.
Of course, powerhouses of a such caliber are usually found in advanced civilizations like the Singers and don’t generally interfere with lower-level civilizations as per the “Singer Interstellar Management Regulations”, so they are rather hard to come by.
…
After hearing Cindy Doppler’s words, Su Yu scratched his chin, unsure of what to say.
Doppler didn’t seem to be joking, so it meant that such a sword really existed? But why hadn’t he heard of this in his previous life?
Morning Star was completely stunned too.

She had thought reaching the eighth order God-Level was the pinnacle of cultivation and was content if she could reach the seventh order in this life. She had never expected that there were even more terrifying existences beyond the eighth order!
Suddenly, she felt that the phone in her paw wasn’t so appealing anymore. Should she start practicing more and broaden her horizons?
…
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Cindy Doppler said apologetically with a laugh: “Because of this event, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the situation in the Wild Continent. I apologize for not being able to attend to your needs due to this distraction.”
“No big deal,” Su Yu replied absentmindedly, waving his hand.
But then, Morning Star tugged at his sleeve, looked up at him with sparkling eyes, and said, “Sky…I mean, Mr. Wing of the Sky, can we go to the Wild Continent and join in on the excitement?”
“Well…” Su Yu thought for a moment before rejecting bluntly: “I’m afraid that’s not possible. It would be too dangerous for us there, with so many God-Level powerhouses and most likely hundreds of Legends.
Plus, we’re due to return to Blue Star in just one day. We cannot allow this to delay our return journey.”
“Alright.” Morning Star snuggled deeper into Su Yu’s arms, her ears drooping slightly, her expression somewhat gloomy.
