Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 466: Dad, Give Me a Name

Chapter 466: Dad, Give Me a Name

The Sky Blue Thunder Lotus and the Primordial Earthfire Essence were the most essential heavenly materials for cultivating the Divine Thunder Demon Suppression Scripture and the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Force, respectively.

Opportunities like these were not something Shen Mo would ever let slip by.

Moreover, ever since he cultivated the third level of the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Force, he had obtained the "Grand Heaven-Earth Furnace Technique," which drastically increased his ability to refine heavenly treasures.

For others, refining just one Sky Blue Thunder Lotus might take a year or more.

As for the Primordial Earthfire Essence, it was even slower.

But in Shen Mo’s case, the refining time could be shortened by tenfold—or more.

Because of this, he needed rare resources even more than most.

Five days later.

Lin Dongtian, as usual, was assigned to patrol duty, responsible for the eastern front of Xuanwu Four-One Outpost.

Patrolling was thankless work—tedious, exhausting, and carrying heavy responsibility—hence usually avoided by Demon Suppression Guards.

After being ostracized, these kinds of tasks naturally fell to Lin Dongtian.

Though filled with resentment, he could only endure it.

He was no longer the revered Holy Son of the Sacred Spirit Sect.

Now, he was just a lowly Demon Suppression Guard.

There were many people above him.

All he could do was bide his time.

Still, Lin Dongtian firmly believed in his own luck.

Since childhood, he had always been blessed with good fortune.

Even after arriving at the Demon Suppression Sea and becoming part of the Xuanwu Fortress, he frequently stumbled upon rare opportunities.

A minor opportunity every three days, a major one every five—it was just routine for him.

Even on the fourth level of the Demon Suppression Sea, a seemingly minor patrol might randomly yield some treasure.

“I didn’t find anything in the last few days—so I’ll definitely find something today!” Lin Dongtian declared confidently.

On the other side.

Shen Mo was seated cross-legged on his bed.

Floating in front of him was a sword manual—rising and falling slowly.

It was the Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual, a fusion of the sword books of “Cut,” “Weed,” “Eliminate,” and “Root,” combined with the Scorching Earth Sword Manual, Burning Heaven Sword Manual, and others.

Back when Shen Mo had first arrived at Xuanwu Fortress, he had checked the Heavenly Dao Treasury.

At that time, he was only missing the final scroll—Burning Heaven Sword Manual.

The treasury listed it for 60 grade-B war merits.

At first, Shen Mo hadn’t earned enough to redeem it.

Even after he did, he didn’t prioritize it—he had greater things to aim for, like the supreme-grade Saint-level technique Void Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal Scripture.

Later, he had to maintain his rank as #1 on the Earth List to acquire visualization diagrams, leaving no spare war merits to spend on the Burning Heaven Sword Manual.

However, just a few days ago, he had slain three peak True Demon Venerables—including a Great Demon Heir—and earned a massive amount of war merits.

And on top of that, Zhong Baisheng had lost a bet and gifted him a Star Spirit Stone.

That was when Shen Mo remembered the sword manual.

He did have Heaven-rank spirit weapons already—

—the Heaven-Opening and Taiyi Demon Armor were both Heaven-rank.

But both spirit weapons had rather uncooperative spirits.

Ziling never communicated and only helped by condensing blood energy into blood essence.

As for Tai Er—though it seemed obedient now, ten jin of weight carried twelve jin of rebelliousness.

Giving the Star Spirit Stone to either spirit would be a waste.

Naturally, Shen Mo set his sights on the Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual.

It had no spirit yet.

If he could use the Star Spirit Stone to create a new, obedient sword spirit—that would be the ideal weapon companion!

“All six sword scrolls have fully merged.”

Looking at the sword manual, now emitting a faint, sharp aura, Shen Mo smiled.

Even without a spirit, it already carried such an edge.

Once it gained one, it would surely be far more formidable!

He flipped his palm and drew out the Star Spirit Stone from his storage ring.

From his palm surged the Green Lotus Heart Flame, heating the stone intensely.

In the blink of an eye, the Star Spirit Stone began to melt.

Soon it turned into a searing hot liquid.

Ordinary flames would have taken more than ten days to melt it.

But Shen Mo, with his Heavenly Flame, could do it effortlessly.

“Go.”

With a light flick of his finger, the molten Star Spirit Stone drifted toward the sword manual.

In moments, the entire Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual was wrapped in the glowing liquid.

Strangely enough—

—even under such intense heat, the sword manual showed no signs of burning or scorching.

On the contrary, it looked as though something was about to be born from within!

Shen Mo’s eyes lit up with anticipation.

There’s hope!

Shen Mo hadn’t expected his luck to be this good—it worked on the first try.

He released his spiritual power and quietly waited.

Before long, a faint trace of sentience began to emerge within the Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual.

As the Star Spirit Stone’s liquid essence gradually seeped into the manual, that hint of spirit grew—stronger, clearer, more distinct.

At a certain moment, a small, radiant sword, shining like starlight, suddenly flew out from within the book.

It seemed bewildered, confused as to why it had suddenly appeared in this place.

Then it noticed Shen Mo and circled him once.

From Shen Mo, it sensed a familiar and warm presence.

After a while, it quietly landed in his palm.

Shen Mo was pleasantly surprised.

The newly born sword spirit had willingly approached him!

As expected, a spirit nurtured by himself was far more obedient!

“Little one, can you speak? Say something,” Shen Mo asked with a smile, lowering his head.

The little sword flew around a few times, releasing soft whooshing sword cries, but didn’t say a word.

It seemed irritated and pouted its way back into Shen Mo’s palm.

Shen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.

This little fellow had a bit of pride.

After a while, it seemed to have thought of something.

Suddenly, it flew back into the Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual.

Moments later, the text on the manual's surface began to rapidly shift.

In the blink of an eye, the scattered text condensed into a clear line of words:

"I know who you are."

Shen Mo’s eyes lit up in delight.

Smart little thing.

He asked again, “Then tell me—who am I?”

The text on the book immediately scattered again and reformed in the next moment:

"You’re my dad!"

Shen Mo: “??”

I am not your dad!

“You’re the sword spirit of the Heaven-Slashing Sword Manual. I’m human. I only used the Star Spirit Stone to awaken your consciousness—that’s how you were born.”

“So I’m not your dad,” Shen Mo explained patiently.

New words appeared on the sword manual’s surface:

"The texts inside the sword book say that children are created by their parents."

Shen Mo nodded. “That’s true.”

The sword manual did contain vast knowledge, so despite this spirit having just been born, it already understood a great deal.

Then another line appeared:

"I was created by you. If you’re not my dad… then you must be my mom!"

Shen Mo: “……”

I’d rather you call me dad…

Another line flashed excitedly across the surface:

"Dad! Give me a name!"

Shen Mo smacked his lips.

Here we go again—the dreaded naming moment.

Didn’t it know this was the one thing he was worst at?

He pondered for a long time.

Seeing no response, the sword spirit began cycling through countless combinations of characters using the text within the manual, flashing one possibility after another.

Then, one word combination caught Shen Mo’s eye.

“Sui Xing—Shatterstar! Great name!”

“You were born from the Star Spirit Stone, and your essence contains the ferocity of burning heavens, scorched earth, and utter annihilation.”

“The name Sui Xing couldn’t suit you better!”

The spirit leapt with joy.

Suddenly, two enormous characters—Sui Xing—flashed across the sword manual’s surface, completely covering it.

All the other text shrank and was forced into the corners.

A cheerful line of words appeared next:

"Mom! From now on, my name is Sui Xing!"

Shen Mo held his forehead. “Don’t call me mom…”
