The Ascension of Contracted Spirits
Chapter 1361 - 521: The Ancestral Gift of Blood, What is it For_2
"So... Everyone seeks him a thousand times, suddenly turning around, that person is there under dim lights... This... This..."
Ye Liuying’s tongue got tied, quite similar to Yu Ruoxin’s stuttering when facing a dilemma.
Ye Hanjun refrained from commenting, as he too had the feeling of seeing a flower in the fog and the moon in the water - both illusions.
The founder of the Ming Lamp Night Clan, Progenitor Ye Xiuluo, the man crowned as "Asura King" ... Indeed exhausted himself!
He fought battles all his life, scarred in his later years, unwilling to die in obscurity.
He chose to bring the equally scarred Great Slaughter God and the Asura Bow and left Ming Lamp to seek out those enemies who secretly opposed the Ye Clan. Whenever he found them, he would slaughter the entire clan without mercy.
This way, the clan naturally gained precious opportunities for development.
Even in the future without support from Crown Rank or Divine Enthronement, Ming Lamp Night Clan would have a buffer period.
Ultimately, the Ancestor exhausted every drop of divine blood, trading his life to kill one crown and one god at their peak, exterminating the entire orthodoxy.
Among the contracted deities, the Great Slaughter God died thoroughly.
The Asura Bow shattered to pieces, transmitted back to the ancestral land, doing its utmost to avoid the remains being picked up and used by enemy clans.
"The Ancestor in his youth must have been skilled in deception..."
Ye Liuying awoke from his shock and sighed deeply:
"The Asura Bow is a Soldier God. Its fragments were transmitted back to the great tomb after death, thus there were the subsequent trials to collect them."
"Unexpectedly, the Great Slaughter God was silent but had a hidden backup plan..."
Ye Hanjun pressed his forehead, confirming the authenticity of the Prison Divine Mark, then combined it with the remnant spirits given during his recent unraveling, organizing his thoughts:
"The Great Slaughter God died in mutual destruction, squeezing out every bit of divine power, every drop of divine blood, living up to the title of guardian Demon God."
"The Ancestor’s original plan was to transmit both the Soldier’s Divine Status and the Prison Divine Mark back to the ancestral land, storing them in the sacrificial hall, waiting for a future fated person."
"Later, he thought that losing both divine marks would inevitably arouse suspicion."
"So, he left the Soldier’s Divine Status on the battlefield, causing disputes and letting it be fought over freely."
"In secret, the Prison Divine Mark was secretly transported back to Without-Sun City."
"His decision was indeed significant, considering how many enemies coveted us secretly connected to the Prison System? You and I know very well."
"Once the Prison Divine Mark is obtained by a demigod of the Prison System, given time to prove the way and seal the divine status, they might eye Ghost Lamp Abyss, attacking us, surely bringing disaster to our clan."
"Conversely, sealing and hiding, the initial batch of Prison Demigods would undoubtedly suspect who seized the opportunity, leading to internal consumption and accelerating their defeat."
"That was the precious development period for the Ye Clan."
"The Ancestor, in his final moments, exchanged his life to kill powerful enemies and directed the flames of war outward, truly brilliant."
Ye Hanjun sincerely admired the Ancestor.
Seeing Ye Liuying still had some unresolved doubts, he further explained:
"Of course, the Ancestor also had his pride and persistence."
"He believed that hiding this divine status, causing chaos, had already achieved the goal."
"Even the descendants of Ming Lamp Night Clan, to retrieve this divine status, mere guardian Holy Spirit wasn’t enough. It had to be a Ye Clan Crown Rank plus a demigod of the Prison System to qualify for control."
"Probably long waiting for the destined person, feeling the impending disaster in the unseen."
"I was recognized as a person chosen by the Ancestor, simultaneously received the inheritance of chaos, and brought out the sealed divine status."
"Liuying, you are the temporary vessel."
"What you absorbed is only the negligible divinity in the ancestral blood, thus you are the Young King, not the Young Emperor."
"Remember the divination holy mirror in the Realm of Desire? Its prophecy before dying was to remind me not to forget the ancestral blood brought out without yet utilizing its power. I suspected before, but proving the way in the Crown Rank confirmed it..."
...
Thus, doubts cleared, thoughts transparent.
Ye Liuying reluctantly accepted this result, the waves of light urging:
"So what are you waiting for? The Prison Divine Mark from the Inferior Earth Emperor is temporarily unreachable. The divine mark right here should be absorbed and refined."
"Alright, then I won’t be polite."
Ye Hanjun smiled, facing GuaGua’s interested yet slightly mischievous expression, lighting up the purple magatama mark at his heart.
"Whirr~~~"
Lights flashed, the formation disappeared.
A pink princess bed stood in the ruins, standing steady and firm.
In front of the princess bed, there was a stand.
The shrunk Wings of Horror retracted its wings and stood loyally on it, even in the Contract Space, it remained steadfast in its guard duty.
Behind the princess bed, lay a giant beast, snoring in deep slumber.
Sensing the summoning intent, the giant bubble on its nose popped in response.
Fu Shan suddenly got up, and as its consciousness awoke, the terrifying pressure of the ferocious beast loomed like lead clouds, spanning heaven and earth, assaulting face-on.
"What is it?"
Aegifura didn’t lift the bed curtain, somewhat annoyed and a bit irritated, she said:
"Wasn’t it settled just now? I was about to sleep, with facial masks, hand masks, leg masks, and foot masks all applied, why bother me again?"
"Meili~~~"
GuaGua approached the bed curtain, whispering mysteriously like a thief:
"Come out quickly and take a look, there’s a great item!"
"This is much more advanced than your facial mask! Ying Yue has searched for thousands of years without finding it, and Big Tadpole just got it and is about to give it to you with full sincerity!"
"Oh? It can’t be a divinity, can it?"
Aegifura mentioned casually and lifted the bed curtain, stunned immediately.
"It really is?"
"That Emperor playing with sh*t got slaughtered by you guys? Hmm... there seem to be no battle traces, did it pop out of a stone, or did it fall from the sky?"
"Hee hee, Liuying hid it in her belly from the last epoch, carrying it for an epoch, and finally waiting for you."
GuaGua recounted everything that happened just now to Meili.
Unexpectedly, after Aegifura removed the facial mask, she simply responded with an oh, her sinking-fish-lying-goose charm wasn’t surprised, still nonchalantly said:
"So, Ye Family’s ancestor tricked his descendants?"
"As long as the conditions for activating this divinity didn’t include the Crown Rank, only requiring the Prison System demigod, I might have long proven the way and become a deity?"
"That’s the logic."
GuaGua nodded, then corrected:
"But how could Asura Grandpa know a saint capable of contracting the Fetus of God Sealing would emerge among the descendants?"
"Asura Grandpa must have been worried, without the Crown Rank to suppress, relying solely on the unknown Prison Demigod couldn’t guarantee loyalty."
"Fortunately, it’s not discovered too late; Meili, your wish for beauty and eternal youth, proven the way to deity, will surely be fulfilled!"
"Hmph, if I become ugly, just wait to be beaten."
Aegifura gave GuaGua a sideways glance, not refusing, elegantly waved her jade arms, and the spinning black-red divinity immediately flew towards her.
"Ha ha ha... finally going to be a deity!"
"Master, keep it up! Master will surely win! I await the completion of your glory!"
Wings of Horror kept flapping its wings, extremely excited.
With Aegifura becoming a deity, could it also advance from its stuck Holy King status of unknown years?
"Roar!!"
Fu Shan, the king of ferocious beasts, had a small mind but huge courage.
Its limbs heavily stomped on the ground, setting up a defense posture, occasionally turning back to search for enemies, determined to show its brave spirit.
"No knowing how long the refining will take..."
"Aegifura, I’ll first bring you back to Contract Space; I must go to Ghost Lamp Abyss for battle, delay breeds changes, must not fall behind..."
Ye Hanjun gave two reminders, witnessing Aegifura’s body radiating divine light, without hesitation, forcibly reclaimed her and signaled GuaGua to initiate the teleportation.
