The bizarre long halberd in hand slowly said, "Thank you, my Lord."
"By the way, give your new form a name," Xue Dili said, "Let's call it Frost Signal Halberd! This name inherits the entire concept of patricide, surely it will give the Heart Stealer a big surprise."

Xue Dili left the school and set foot on the Divine Capital.
The streets of the Divine Capital were sparsely populated, or rather, the only people visible were branch family nobles. They needed to go door to door to collect infants and distribute gold coins and food according to the infant registers.
Eventually, these infants were traded for more materials and money from the hands of the godly nobles, who would then hang the infants on the Divine Tree to nourish its growth.
Over thousands of years, who knows how many bodies have already been hung on the Divine Tree. Its buds have started to form slowly, and maybe it won't be long before they bloom.
