The Most Powerful Bodyguard
Chapter 1021: Leaving Behind the Seed
Although sealing the Power of Origin within Lei Ming poses risks, applying a Law Seal can reduce the risks to a manageable range.
He had already made the worst-case plan in his heart for the upcoming war between humans and demons.
The Demon Race's invasion could lead to the full collapse of human defenses, and they might even face the threat of annihilation.
If it really comes to that, preserving a spark of hope is undoubtedly the most important thing.
He even thought that if it truly came to that point, he would cut off the spatial connection between the Hidden World and the current world at the cost of his life.
With the unique trait of the Hidden World Space only leading to the current world, the Demon Race army would also be sealed within it.
In this way, although the Hidden World would be lost, the current world could be preserved.
With his bequeathed Origin, he believed that with Lei Ming's innate talent, he would eventually ascend to the throne of the human emperor.
Additionally, with his many arrangements, even if the Demon Race finds another entry point to the current world in the future, the remnants in the current world would not be so helpless as to lack fighting strength.
"I've explained the reasons, now I will seal this ball of Power of Origin into your body, hoping you will use it wisely in the future."
After explaining the Demon Race invasion, Yang Yan stepped to Lei Ming with a serious expression and said.
"Come on, Master, I will take it with you to fight on the battlefield!"
Lei Ming stood straight, her young chest bulging.
Yang Yan curled his mouth, gently tapping her head with a flick of his finger:
"Did you think my words were air? I leave this thing for you to preserve the spark of hope, not for you to absorb it and recklessly fight the Demon Race."
"But..."
Lei Ming wanted to say something, but Yang Yan glared at her, forcing her to close her mouth tearfully.
Yang Yan sighed, flipping his palm as if to thrust the Origin into Lei Ming, but paused in midair:
"Lei Ming, I said this power is beyond your current control if mishandled, so..."
At this point, Yang Yan suddenly paused.
Truth be told, he didn't know how long the ball of Power of Origin needed to dwell within Lei Ming before she could fully control it.
Though under his Power of Laws, sealing it for several centuries is no problem.
But if Lei Ming wanted to quickly ascend to the throne, she'd have to risk unsealing layers and gradually mastering this Power of Origin.
If she succeeds, her powers would naturally advance rapidly.
But if she fails, the Power of Origin would completely erupt within her.
The violent Power of Lightning could turn Lei Ming to ashes.
"Master, you once said there are no free lunches in this world, strength progress is accompanied by risks, this is a truth all cultivators must understand."
This time, Lei Ming interrupted Yang Yan, her tear-stained face suddenly resolute.
Yang Yan was initially taken aback, but then smiled.
Unexpectedly, the lessons he once taught Lei Ming were now being used by her to educate him.
Of course, he felt no regret, rather a deep comfort.
Lei Ming's attitude showed that he, as a master, was successful.
This is exactly what he hoped to see.
His expectation for Lei Ming is to become an emperor.
If she did not have even this bit of courage, what was there to hope for!
Success without setbacks is like a flower in a greenhouse.
Though it may be beautiful, it cannot withstand the storm.
Lei Ming's firm attitude left Yang Yan without hesitation.
He curled his fingers, mysterious and profound Power of Laws tightly binding the Power of Origin within his palm.
As Yang Yan applied pressure, the silver Thunder Origin, initially the size of a fist, gradually compressed into a bean-sized light ball.
The Blue Sky Knight and Lei Ming watched in deep awe.
The Thunder Origin's contained power was something they could sense, along with the immense difficulty in trying to harness it.
However, that a terrifyingly powerful Origin ball could be so...
Manipulated?
Yes!
Manipulated!
At will, like commanding hand and finger.
"Go!"
Yang Yan's expression remained unchanged as he saw the Power of Origin compressed to its utmost and pinched it between two fingers towards Lei Ming's forehead.
Lei Ming had been focusing intently on Yang Yan's actions, his swift movement left her unprepared.
Before she could react, a pure Power of Lightning surged into her body instantly.
Yet, the power, while pure, also contained vast energy that she couldn't absorb in time.
If this power were allowed to spread, her body would burst in the next moment.
This sudden change froze Lei Ming in place.
She instinctively held her breath.
However, her fears were unfounded.
As the Power of Lightning began to spread, a more mysterious and powerful force invaded her body.
In her mind, she could clearly see the palace where the immense Power of Lightning was preparing to wreak havoc.
Crystalline white threads wove in quickly, almost instantly forming a web like a spider's silk, perfectly confining the Power of Lightning within.
"Hmph! Still unyielding."
Yang Yan's voice echoed in Lei Ming's mind, then the mystical white net began to tighten.
The originally rampant Power of Lightning struggled vehemently, but was no match.
Very soon, the white net contracted into a symbol-like pattern, like a mysterious character, encompassing the Power of Lightning, quietly suspended in Lei Ming's mind.
While marveling at this sight, she suddenly felt someone flick her forehead gently.
Opening her eyes, she saw Yang Yan smiling at her from the front.
"I've placed eighty-one seals on this Power of Origin. Each seal you need to gauge your strength to unseal, then refine and absorb a part of the Origin within."
"Never be hasty to unseal multiple layers at once."
"If the power within is unmanageable and all seals are breached, no need for me to elaborate the consequences!"
Facing Yang Yan's admonition, Lei Ming nodded obediently.
But soon, her eyes reddened again.
Yang Yan naturally understood why.
He mentioned earlier, if the Demon Race's offensive becomes irresistible, he would have no choice but to sacrifice.
"Go find Qiye and Zhou Hanyun; I have matters to discuss with the Blue Sky Academician."
Partings have always been sorrowful, and even with Yang Yan's calmness, Lei Ming's tears tugged at his heartstrings.
But naturally, he wouldn't cry along with the little girl, so he simply waved her away.
Once she left, only Yang Yan and the Blue Sky Knight remained in the office.
