Chapter 400
An icy chill ran down his spine just at the thought of that deathly pain from his soul being torn apart.
He said through clenched teeth, “Bastard system, can you warn me before if you want to kill me next time?!”
Strangely, that pain from his head faded while he could feel returning to his previous self.
At this moment, the system’s voice rang in his mind.
======
[Process of Provence Life Bonding and True Soul Healing have been completed successfully.]
[Host has successfully become the owner of an Eternal Soul Provenance Treasure (Incomplete)]
[Because of being only a core component of the Eternal Provenance Treasure, the Heavenly Fate Live Compass didn’t have all of its original functions. It will now grow with the host in a way that is most prominent for the host and unlock random functions.]
[System has created a new status column in the host status panel where the host can find the upgrade scheme for the newly born Eternal Provenance Treasure (Incomplete) and can complete it with required materials and TP.]
======
Ace was startled when he heard this abrupt notification, but it wasn’t the end of it.
======
[Please name the newly born Eternal Soul Provenance Treasure (Incomplete)]
======
Ace frowned and examine his true soul before saying anything.
He was bewildered the moment he saw the change in his true soul, not only his soul was completely headed, but the decagram compass needle was now hovering right above his orange soul core and revolving with it.
Furthermore, the five white compass points were now dark blue and the silver disk in the center has also turned into a dark blue color, while the golden symbols were now black.
But a black symbol with a black compass point was now glowing in a dark golden light, while the other nine were completely dormant.
Most importantly, the entire decagram compass needle was now complete with no ruptures or damage.
Ace instantly knows this was the work of the system and why it was called the Heavenly Fate Live Compass Needle, a newly born incomplete treasure.
Furthermore, he also guessed that the system can even repair and probably made Eternal Provenance Treasure as long as it was willing, but he only smiled wryly when he thought about the heavenly materials required for it.
It was only possible because he had found a core component of the treasure, or he might also just forget about this incomplete treasure as well.
At this moment, a delicate voice of a child rang within his true soul and completely astounded him.
“Eternal Master!”
Ace instantly knew who this voice belonged to, although it wasn’t as mature as before. He would never forget that voice filled with insane frenzy and abhorrence.
He said with uncertainty, “A-are you the treasure spirit of Heavenly Fate Live Compass?”
The treasure spirit replied in affirmation, “Yes and No, Eternal Master. Although I’m the same treasure spirit core, I’m no longer the Heavenly Fate Live Compass treasure spirit anymore. I was bestowed a new life by Eternal Master, so please name me.”
Ace was shocked these were in the same line as the system’s explanation.
He asked again, “So, you can no longer find treasures?”
This was the main reason he wanted this treasure and even endured the pain of his soul being split. If this function was also lost, he would be really mad, and this also means the system has duped him.
“After my previous body’s destruction, I could only probe fate to find some lowly treasures at the cost of my host lifespan. However, now that I’m reborn, I not only have the same function, but it is just the part of my first compass point ability!” The treasure spirit truthfully replied in its childish voice.
Ace’s eyes shimmered in ecstasy when he heard this, and his heart raced when he found out this was only a function of a single ability.
‘It’s still incomplete, but it has already such a function, which is only a part of its single ability. What if it was the complete treasure? Won’t I be invincible!’
But the next moment he asked with uncertainty, “You said lifespan and fate, what is this about? Do you need my lifespan to use this ability as well?”
“No, the Eternal Master is my true owner, and I’ll be destroyed the moment the Eternal Master died, so I would never do anything to harm the Eternal Master. As for Fate, I cannot answer the Eternal Master’s question because I’m restricted. I can only tell you I’m a Fate Eternal Provenance Treasure that can change Fate.” said the treasure spirit.
Ace’s eyes narrowed, although he knew Fate was something that can never be changed, and absolutely fabled concept, it still greatly shocked him that this treasure can change it.
This also explained why this treasure didn’t have any attacking or defensive capabilities, but what it had was already far more powerful than anything.
He asked, “Who restricts you?”
“I don’t know, but after I awake I have these restrictions placed on me, but they won’t harm me in any way, it would just stop me from answering some of your questions which will harm you, or you weren’t ready for the answer. These restrictions can only be removed, as the Eternal Master grows stronger and stronger.”
Ace cursed the moment he heard this. “Fuck, I know who places those damn restrictions!”
Ace stop talking with the treasure spirit for now and asked sternly, “System, why do you have to restrict the treasure spirit and why don’t you want me to know about Fate?”
“[The host is not ready, and it will only hinder the host’s path. Some things can only be known with strength, or they might become seeds of calamity, like [Karma]. The system can only say this; the more host knows about Fate, the more Karma you’ll incur, and it will strengthen the host’s heavenly punishment by many folds, which is not recommended by the system.]”
“Now what the heck is this [Karma]?” Ace’s expression was clouded.
But the system didn’t reply to him anymore, and he could only sigh in a resigned manner.
“Fine, you win. As for the name of this newborn treasure; now that it will grow with me and change according to the path I walk. Let’s name it… [Eternal Thief Fate Compass].”
Ace just suddenly thought of this name, the moment he thought about the system’s name and found it quite fitting for the future Eternal Provenance Treasure of a thief.
=====
[The name has been successfully imprinted on the Eternal Provenance Treasure (Incomplete)]

Ace quickly opened the newly emerged ‘Eternal Provence Treasure’ on his status panel.

Ace’s expression turned livid, not to talk about founding those first six materials, he never even heard of their name before.
One had to know in the Basic Myriad Runic Structural Encyclopedia there were millions of materials that could be found in Mortal Sky Heaven, but he didn’t see any of these things in it.
In the end, he could only sigh, “I’m being too greedy here. I just gain the Eternal Thief Fate Compass, and now I’m thinking about completing it without even knowing its first ability. Huh, too greedy.”
The treasure spirit’s voice rang in his mind at this moment filled with respect and gratitude, “Thank you, Eternal Master, for bestowing me this name, I will not disappoint you, and you don’t need to worry about those materials I’ll be able to sense them as long as they appeared.”
Ace cocked an eyebrow as he asked, “You can see this panel in front of me?”
“Yes, I can see everything that you see and this panel in front of you is like my first ability that can only be seen by only you or your Provenance Life Bonded Eternal Provenance Treasures.” The treasure spirit replied plainly.
Ace quickly asked, “Your first ability is like this panel? Mean something that can be visualized? Tell me what your ability is?”
The treasure spirit swiftly replied,
“My first compass point ability is called Live Fate Map. Eternal Master can see a Live Fate Map around you without any worry about being detected by anyone.
“But its range is directly connected with your soul sense. This means you can only see things in a 500M radius around you, and it will continue to increase with your soul sense!”
