Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1651 - 1649: Yiyi’s Persistence

"In any case, you’re not allowed to go!" After much consideration, Lu Ye steeled his heart.

He rarely spoke to Yiyi in such a stern tone, but this time he couldn’t afford to care.

The ancestors of Xianyuan City went to the Soul Race ancestral land out of necessity, because they couldn’t forever remain slumbering in Xianyuan City. Yiyi was ultimately different from them.

Even if Lih Shang would be there to care for her, Lih Shang was only at the Constellation Late Stage. In the Soul Race ancestral land, it had been there since ancient times, and there were likely many powerful beings. If Yiyi got bullied, who would stand up for her?

Moreover, who could guarantee that those strong ones wouldn’t harbor any bad intentions towards Amber? The bond between Yiyi and Amber was exceptionally deep; Amber viewed Yiyi as its master. If a situation arose where Amber’s pure possession became a crime attracting envy, how could Lih Shang alone care for Yiyi?

So even though it felt somewhat unfair to Yiyi, Lu Ye still dared not let her go.

It’s just the cultivation path of the Soul Race. When he himself becomes stronger in the future, visiting the Soul Race ancestral land personally to find the right path for Yiyi shouldn’t be a problem.

Yiyi puffed up her cheeks, looking at him, angrily: "I just want to go!"

"Hmph... You’ve turned against me!" Lu Ye turned to Amber: "Watch her, don’t let her go anywhere!"

As long as Amber didn’t leave Three Worlds Island, Yiyi couldn’t leave either.

Amber stood aside with its neck shrunk, turning its gaze away.

You two quarrel, don’t drag me into this; I’m just a tiger, I’m innocent...

"You... you... you’re being dictatorial!" Yiyi was aggrieved, terribly so.

Lu Ye turned away, giving her the back of his head, dictatorial indeed, but just this once!

Not daring to look at Yiyi’s expression, Lu Ye went to find Second Senior Sister and Shui Yuan.

There wasn’t much that Lih Shang needed to prepare; a moment later, Lih Shang entered Lu Ye’s Divine Sea, and Lu Ye summoned his starboat, flying away.

Lu Ye had no idea how to reach the Soul Race ancestral land, but Lih Shang knew. After some exchange, Lu Ye took out the star map on the starboat and confirmed the direction.

To get to the Soul Race ancestral land, he first needed to go through the Insect Path and enter a star system called Cangyue.

About the foundation of the Cangyue Galaxy, Lu Ye didn’t know much, having never interacted with it. But now, he was just a Constellation, so passing through Cangyue Galaxy wouldn’t be an issue.

Even if it weren’t for needing to pass through the Insect Path guarded by the Moon Jade, Lu Ye wouldn’t have needed to notify anyone upon entering the Cangyue Galaxy.

A Constellation coming wouldn’t concern Cangyue, as long as Lu Ye didn’t cause any disturbance in the Cangyue Galaxy.

Exiting the All Phenomena Ocean, he flew straight towards the Insect Path connecting to the Cangyue Galaxy, but the Insect Path of the Cangyue Galaxy was far from the All Phenomena Ocean, located rather remotely on this side of the All Phenomena Galaxy, requiring some time.

The journey was relatively peaceful.

Lu Ye’s speed wasn’t fast. Sitting on the starboat, he furrowed his brow, sighing continuously, like a parent worried about their disobedient child.

"Why bother? You know you can’t stop her," Lih Shang’s voice sounded.

Lu Ye was curious: "What exactly did you say to her? She rarely insists on something like this." She even insisted on her original idea despite knowing it would upset him.

Lih Shang replied, "You don’t know the source of her insistence?"

"Should I know?"

Lih Shang chuckled: "I persuaded her to accompany me to the ancestral land, but she never agreed until one day she suddenly asked me about the Soul Possession Technique, then decided to go to the ancestral land with me. So her reason for going is not to become stronger but to, one day, become someone who can help you."

Lu Ye fell silent.

After a long time, he spoke, "If she goes with you to the Soul Race ancestral land, can you ensure she won’t be bullied by your clansmen? And that Amber won’t be coveted by some of your clan members?"

Lih Shang said, "There’s competition everywhere and the Soul Race ancestral land is no exception. I can’t promise smooth sailing for her there, but I can ensure all her treatment will be fair and just. As for Amber... our Soul Race has always regarded the White Tiger clan as Sacred Beasts. If anyone dares have ill intentions, they would be against the whole clan."

Lih Shang spoke sincerely, and from years of interaction, Lu Ye knew her character well enough to trust she wouldn’t lie.

But some things he could never fully trust.

Lih Shang said, "You expect Yiyi to grow without worries or pressure, but that’s unrealistic. Think about your own experience. You now have strength beyond a Constellation, how many hardships and adversities did you go through in the process?"

Precisely because he had been through it, he didn’t want his loved ones to endure the same...

In silence, Lu Ye suddenly turned, looking back, his eyes cold with killing intent: "Courting death!"

The All Phenomena Ocean was never a peaceful place. Apart from the spaces near the domain of each home galaxy, conflicts and battles could erupt anywhere else. Lu Ye had already experienced this when he first came to the All Phenomena Ocean.

In this world, there are always some people who like to gain without working for it. They often roam in groups throughout the All Phenomena Galaxy, searching for suitable targets to strike and obtaining their cultivation resources by plundering from others.

However, those who do this generally do not have a reputable background. If they came from a powerful faction, that faction would likely have its own Spirit Island, so there would be no need to engage in such activities.

Yiyi hadn’t been in the All Phenomena Ocean for very long, but she had already interacted with Little Dumb and Little Crooked several times, learning from them about the chaos of the All Phenomena Ocean.

But she truly did not expect that on her very first solo venture, she would actually run into such a situation.

She was dressed in white, her petite figure sitting atop Amber, looking at the three figures closing in on her.

Two men and one woman, none with high cultivation. Judging by the spirit force emanating from them, the woman seemed to be at the Constellation Late Stage, while the two men were only at the Constellation Mid-Stage.

The man on the left had a ferocious expression: "Kid, if you want to live, hand over the storage rings obediently!" As he spoke, he eyed the rings on Yiyi’s hand.

Yiyi glanced at him, thinking that this guy was really ugly, with several scars crisscrossing over his face.

Though they looked fierce and malicious, Yiyi wasn’t worried at all, because she knew someone wouldn’t let her be bullied.

Seeing her indifferent expression, the man became enraged, "Kid, didn’t you hear me talking to you?"

The man on the right chuckled, "Maybe she’s scared stupid?"

The woman, with the highest cultivation, spoke coldly, "Enough talking, let’s get this done! Just don’t harm her mount."

This White Tiger looked extraordinary and could potentially fetch a good price.

With her words, the two Constellation Mid-Stage men naturally followed orders. One recklessly charged towards Yiyi, while the other gathered spirit force around him, casting a magic and spells light that shot towards Yiyi. This spell wasn’t very lethal, as they feared harming Amber, it was primarily meant to restrain.

If Yiyi were to be restrained, she would be as good as the meat on a chopping block.

In the face of such an assault, Yiyi appeared unaware, sitting still on Amber’s back, not moving an inch, and even Amber remained unresponsive.

The Constellation Late Stage woman observed this, concluding that this little girl probably hadn’t seen much of the world’s dangers; otherwise, how could an Early Stage Constellation venture alone into such a place with such slow reactions...

Suddenly, the woman felt a jolt in her heart as a strong, fierce, and domineering aura rapidly approached from afar. She quickly turned her head and barely caught a glimpse of a blood light that suddenly stopped in front of the young girl riding the White Tiger.

The restraining spell cast towards Yiyi shattered as the blood light collided with it, followed by a flash of a blade from within the light.

The Constellation Mid-Stage man who had just rushed towards Yiyi suddenly froze in place, maintaining his attacking posture, unmoving.

In a moment of silence, the blood light erupted, and within the thick blood light, a figure twisted into view as though a supreme demon god had descended.

Even though the aura emanating from the blood light was also at the Constellation Late Stage, the woman suddenly felt her courage fail her; her heart and spirit trembled!

Unbelievable that a Constellation Late Stage could unleash such terrifying power!

"What are you all doing!" came a voice from within the blood light, cold as ice, causing the woman and her other companion to involuntarily shudder.

Only then did they fearfully realize that their companion, who had previously charged the young girl, was lifeless, and a head, accompanied by a spout of blood, soared skyward.

They hadn’t even clearly seen how their companion died.

No match for this! The woman at Constellation Late Stage felt an unprecedentedly strong danger and tried to flee without a second thought.

But before she could make any move, another flash of the blade appeared from the blood light. Her face changed drastically as she vaguely heard a beast’s roar in her ears, and a gaping maw with fangs seemed to appear, swallowing her whole, followed by her consciousness fading.

Along with her, the Constellation Mid-Stage who had just used the restraining magic was also swallowed.

Though their cultivation was somewhat mediocre, their background was evidently weak with little foundation. To deal with such people, the current Lu Ye didn’t need to exert much effort.

Inside the twisting silhouette wrapped in the blood light, Yiyi, riding on Amber, had her eyes curved into crescent moons, her previous slight grievances disappearing like smoke.

She knew that Lu Ye would come to rescue her.

She also understood that Lu Ye had been aware of her following him all along, otherwise, he wouldn’t have moved so slowly!

What is this? He was so firm in not letting her go to the Soul Race ancestral land, yet his actions were so hesitant, giving her the possibility to follow.

Yiyi suddenly realized, Lu Ye’s feelings were also very conflicted.

The dense blood light suddenly receded as Lu Ye sheathed his knife, turned around, and looked solemnly at Yiyi.

Previously unafraid, calm as ever when waylaid, Yiyi’s face suddenly crumbled the instant Lu Ye looked over. She flew from Amber’s back, weeping and flinging her arms around Lu Ye, choked with sobs, "Wuwuwu, I was so scared!"
