Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 898 Even in front of Ye Wanlan, gods are mere ants [2nd update]

Chapter 898: 898 Even in front of Ye Wanlan, gods are mere ants [2nd update]

However, although Ye Wanlan had gathered all the fragments of the King of Yan’s Sword, no unusual occurrence took place.

The Sword Saint’s Sword of the past would automatically merge once complete.

But the fragments of the King of Yan’s Sword still lay scattered, not gathering into a single blade on their own.

Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment. She bit her fingertip, allowing blood to drip onto the fragments.

A second, two seconds, three seconds... Time passed by the second, and the blood had thoroughly stained the fragments, yet still, there was no response.

"Princess Wanlan!" The old minister finally reacted, aghast, "What are you doing?"

Ye Wanlan had already picked up a dagger and was about to cut her wrist but stopped upon hearing him, smiling faintly: "The ancient texts of Shenzhou say that blood can nurture weapons, so I’m trying it out."

She always knew her blood had special properties.

But why was there no reaction from the King of Yan’s Sword to her blood?

Prince Brother...

Ye Wanlan’s hand trembled slightly.

Why, even after collecting all the fragments of the King of Yan’s Sword, could she still not feel his presence?

"I see, but... this harms your body greatly." The old minister still disapproved, "Even if these fragments could form a sword, it would never match the one you used to slay the sea beast yesterday."

"You’ve helped me a lot, so I won’t disturb you today." Ye Wanlan returned to her senses and stood up, "I noticed you have some minor ailments, and I happened to learn some medical skills from my grandmother. I’ll send someone over with some medicine later."

"Too kind, far too kind!" The old minister was somewhat flustered by the attention, "Princess Wanlan, you must possess far more than ’some’ skills, recognizing my condition at a glance. Your medical skills must be profound, and I thank you in advance."

Ye Wanlan nodded with a slight smile, collected the fragments, and returned to the Houtu Palace.

Lancelot was playing chess with Beitang Xinyi, and upon seeing her return, raised an eyebrow and said, "You’ve gathered the King of Yan’s Sword. Why do you look unhappy?"

Beitang Xinyi looked worried: "Ah Lan, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly, "Grandmother, I’m tired and want to sleep for a bit."

"Go and rest quickly," Beitang Xinyi urged immediately, "You won easily yesterday, but I know your mind was taut, you need to relax."

Ye Wanlan entered her bedroom and closed the door.

She lay down on the bed fully clothed, placing the box containing the King of Yan’s Sword fragments on her chest.

"Prince Brother," Ye Wanlan said softly, "At least, let me see you in my dreams."

No matter when, no matter who she was, she was still He Jia’s younger sister.

She missed him terribly.

Ye Wanlan slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, deep within the Sea of Stars.

A voice chuckled softly: "She has obtained the King of Yan’s Sword."

The High Priest remained silent.

"With the King of Yan’s Sword in hand, the King of Yan will surely return soon," continued the voice with a laugh, like a spring breeze, "The King of Yan is extremely protective, and anyone who dares harm his sister even a little will pay back tenfold, a hundredfold."

The High Priest finally couldn’t help speaking, his tone icy: "Return soon, only if she lives to see him! No Time Betrayer has ever lived long!"

No one knew he couldn’t leave the Sea of Stars now, not because he was in seclusion for cultivation, nor out of his own willingness, but because he was trapped by some kind of restriction.

Even the High Priest didn’t know exactly what this restriction was; he couldn’t get out at all and only awoke yesterday.

Otherwise, how could he have remained in the Sea of Stars for over forty years?

But now that he’s awakened, it wouldn’t be long before he could leave.

"She killed a Time Judge and is already on the Time Administration Bureau’s wanted list," the High Priest laughed coldly, "Given the time, the Bureau’s pursuit is imminent. Do you think she can withstand it?"

The voice maintained its smile, unchanged in tone: "If she can kill one Time Judge, she can kill a second. If she kills enough, she can gain more power and become a Time Traveler."

The High Priest’s expression turned sharply serious: "Time Traveler..."

He knew clearly how powerful a Time Traveler was, able to roam freely through the past, present, and future.

But Time Travelers can’t change anything; no matter which point in time they travel to, they can only observe as bystanders.

"Tell me, is the Time Administration Bureau’s trial a punishment or a reward for her?" the voice smiled again, "She will only grow stronger and one day can crush you with one hand. So-called gods are nothing more than ants before her."

The High Priest was infuriated again: "Shut up!"

He would kill Ye Wanlan before she reached that level of power!

For now, he only needed to wait for the chance to leave the Sea of Stars.

Elsewhere in Atlantis, in Chongming Country.

Although Chongming was closed to the outside world, the Chongming people were not greatly affected, as they had little contact with Cangyuan Country in the first place.

In recent days, Beiyin and Xuan Tan saw Yan Tingfeng eating well and sleeping peacefully, finally easing a worry they had carried for twenty-four years.

Yet, they couldn’t keep Yan Tingfeng’s awakening a secret any longer after a few days.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Chongming Royal Family.

The eldest son, born a vegetative state, suddenly awakened!

For a moment, the Royal Family was bustling with different thoughts, everyone flocking to the Crown Prince Mansion.

Within the Crown Prince Mansion, the second son, Ban Feng, hurried over from outside, wanting to see Yan Tingfeng, only to be blocked outside.

Beiyin and Xuan Tan came out, neither looking pleased.

"Father, Mother!" Ban Feng was both shocked and angry, "Why didn’t you tell me that Big Brother has awakened?"

Beiyin frowned: "Is that the attitude you use to speak to your parents?"

"What’s my attitude?" Ban Feng gritted his teeth, "Did you hide it because you’re afraid I’d do something to a cripple?"

"Ban Feng!" Xuan Tan was furious, "Don’t speak of Ting’er like that!"

Ban Feng’s eyes were red, clenching his hands, and he turned to leave.

"Your Highness!" The butler hurried over, "Second Prince and others are blocking the entrance, should we..."

Beiyin furrowed his brows even tighter: "Let’s go out first."

"Big Brother." The Second Prince greeted Beiyin with a smile, "I heard my nephew has awakened, why not bring him out to meet everyone? Let us see what godly figure he has that made you hide him so long."

"Godly figure?" Another prince sneered, "He’s been bedridden since birth, can he even eat now? Why hide something that should have been buried long ago?"

Beiyin couldn’t bear to hear his child insulted so: "Get lost!"

"Beiyin, the present is not the past; you think you can just utter ’get lost’ at us?" The Second Prince retracted his smile, eyes sinister, "Say that again?"

A mediocre and sentimental Crown Prince like him wasn’t fit to inherit the throne of Chongming Country.

Did he truly believe his eldest son’s awakening could change the situation?

Naive!

The Second Prince found it all so laughable; he reached out and directly grabbed Beiyin’s shoulder: "Beiyin, say what you just said again—"

He didn’t finish his sentence.

"Father said, get lost." A calm voice, laced with humor yet carrying a chill, "I don’t mind sending you on your way."

A way towards the Netherworld Path!
