Chapter 152: New Mission
The white-coloured Life Card was none other than the General Revival Life Card that could be used to revive others.
The ones revived using the General Revival Life Card have good loyalty towards Ethan, and as time goes by, he could further solidify it and make Shadow Bee an Absolute Loyal Subordinate.
However, Ethan was worried about Shadow Bee because he was a Heaven's Chosen and wondered whether it was all right to take him as a subordinate.
Heaven's Chosen was a myth of this cultivation world.
It was said that there were certain individuals who were recognized by the Heavens and were believed to have limitless potential, their destinies shining like stars in the vast sky.
No matter how dire their circumstances, they would always find a way to rise, shattering all obstacles in their path.
'But the problem is, they will constantly face life-and-death trials, and each time they overcome them, they grow stronger. However, the stronger they become, the deadlier the challenges that await.'
Ethan's expression turned solemn as he recalled a few legends about Heaven's Chosen from Kai's memories.
'Having Heaven's Chosen around is both a blessing and a curse.'
Ethan looked at Shadow Bee's lifeless body and deeply thought about his decision.
It was already confirmed that Shadow Bee was truly a Heaven's Chosen, and his future was already filled with life-threatening tribulations, starting with the massacre of his entire tribe.
'Was it really wise to take such a person as his subordinate?'
Unlike Shadow Bee's life, Ethan wanted a peaceful life, and with his Godly Revival System, as long as he planned properly, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm was only a matter of time.
Of course, the Nascent Soul Realm was not the limit, and he could go beyond that without any issue.
But, with Shadow Bee as his subordinate, things wouldn't be as simple as he would like.
'Forget it. I don't want to feel guilty about Shadow Bee for the rest of my life for accidentally killing him. Let's see him.'
After thinking about it, Ethan decided to revive him not because he was a Heaven's Chosen but because he felt pity for Shadow Bee.
As the sole survivor of his tribe, Ethan could tell that Shadow Bee had gone through many challenges to reach his current cultivation, and without taking revenge, it would be unfair for him to be accidentally killed by Ethan.
As an emotional person, Ethan's guilt would slowly eat him away for killing Shadow Bee.
'With him, I can explore various secret realms to stumble upon other good things.'
Ethan didn't just think about the disadvantages of having Shadow Bee around him but also the advantages.
For someone like Ethan, who was not afraid of death and only became stronger with each death, exploring secret realms with Shadow Bee would be greatly beneficial as he could use the luck of a Heaven's Chosen cultivator like Shadow Bee.
Moreover, Shadow Bee could become his most powerful subordinate, and it would also greatly help him.
'As for the penalty of 500,000 Life Points, I believe I will get them back after reviving him.'
Previously, Ethan received 10,000 Life Points for reviving a Night Demon. Thus, Ethan was confident that by reviving a Heaven's Chosen, he could get back the Life Points he lost as a penalty.
'Ding,
The host has used a General Revival Life Card and successfully revived Shadow Bee.
'Ding,
The host's Heavenly Talent [Heaven's Virtue] has been triggered.
'Ding,
The host has received 1,000,000 Life Points for reviving a Heaven's Chosen.
'Ding,
A Special Mission related to the host's new subordinate has been triggered. Do you want to check it?
'What? 1 million Life Points? Excellent.'
Ethan was expecting to receive his 500,000 Life Points back, but to his surprise, he received double, making him excited.
'It is a good start after reviving him.'
He smiled from ear to ear because it was the largest amount of Life Points he had ever received.
'If Shadow Bee had been killed by others and if I had revived him, I would have received an extra 500,000 Life Points.'
Although he had received 1 million Life Points, after deducting his penalty for killing Shadow Bee, Ethan gained only 500,000 Life Points by reviving him.
Nevertheless, Ethan was happy with the unexpected gain.
'Also, the system has issued another mission. By completing it, I am sure I can get Shadow Bee's full loyalty.'
As for the new mission generated by the system, even before he could check it, Ethan knew its reward, and it was none other than Shadow Bee's full loyalty.
'Let's see…..'
Just as he was about to check the details of the newly generated mission, he noticed Shadow Bee, who was revived with no clothes.
"Here."
As an experienced person, Ethan had a set of new clothes in his storage ring, and he threw him a new set of robes.
'Haaah…haaah…'
Shadow Bee's body trembled as he took deep breaths and hurriedly put them on.
Once ready, he looked at Ethan with shock and confusion.
'I… I was dead…killed by you….but…..'
The memories of his final moments flooded his mind, making him space out.
In the blood mist, he was attacked by a sharp wind blade that even destroyed his Rank 5 Body Armour before cutting him in half. He saw his own blood splattering everywhere, followed by an intense pain for a moment before feeling nothing….obviously died.
Yet now, he was alive, his body fully intact as if he had never died.
Slowly, he turned his gaze toward Ethan, his expression complicated.
"You…" Shadow Bee's voice was hoarse as he struggled to form words, "You brought me back?"
As soon as he was revived, like his other subordinates, Shadow Bee asked Ethan the same question.
"Yes."
Ethan met his gaze with a calm but firm expression.
Currently, Shadow Bee was loyal to Ethan. So, he didn't hesitate to agree to the unbelievable thing he did.
Hearing that, Shadow Bee remained silent, and Ethan also didn't say anything as he knew Shadow Bee needed some time to process everything that happened to him.
Silence filled the battlefield, the scent of blood still lingering in the air.
'Before he processes everything, I will take a look at his new mission.'
Ethan wanted to solidify Shadow Bee's loyalty to the maximum as soon as possible because he was worried about Shadow Bee's status as a Heaven's Chosen.
Even though Shadow Bee had enough loyalty toward Ethan right now, it might decrease.
But, once the loyalty of his revived subordinate reaches the maximum, it wouldn't decrease anymore no matter what Ethan does to them.
Hence, Ethan was fully focused on the mission and wanted to complete it as soon as possible.
'Ding,
Mission Name: Bind the Heaven's Chosen.
Objective: Gain Shadow Bee's complete trust and establish an unbreakable bond of loyalty.
Time Limit: None.
Rewards:
1) 1,000,000 Life Points.
2) Godly General Revival Life Card.
3) Heavenly Luck Card (Small).
'Huh? I have to gain his trust?'
Seeing the objective of his new mission, Ethan raised his brows slightly because he was expecting Shadow Bee's loyalty as a reward.
'How do I get his trust and loyalty? It is simple but….'
