Book 7, Chapter 51: Awakening
“What did you say?”
Gu Huishan, and all of the other higher-ups stared at Su Chen in shared disbelief
“Can you not look at me like that?” Su Chen lazily replied “I said, I was just thinking of visiting Redstone Basin and chatting with that Blood Ancestor for a little while”
“He’s an Origin Beast!” Gu Qingluo spat through gritted teeth “Do you feel like you’ve been alive for too long?”
Su Chen seriously replied, “Well, if I hadn’t stopped Kucha today, then he would have awakened an Origin Beast all on his own Do you think that ould have been able to avoid fighting against an Origin Beast in that scenario?”
Everyone fell silent
But Gu Qingluo stubbornly refused to back down “That’s different At least, in that scenario, ould have been able to face it together”
Su Chen shook his head slowly “So what? Would we even have a chance of winning? And even if we did win, so what? We pulled off sodom could never accomplished in their prime But then what? They’ll just awaken two or three ainst thein to rise as anger welled up within her “Su Chen, what is that even supposed tothat we’re doomed to lose this war? If that’s the case, then why did you even bring us all the way out here? Why would you even challenge the Beasts to begin with?”
“Why?” Su Chen chuckled before responding, “Is the fight itself not sufficient a reason? We have always known about how strong Origin Beasts are, but have we ever shrunk back because of that? And when have we ever hesitated to fight against the strong foe that is the Beasts? Why has the hu the past few decades? Is it because the Beasts have groeaker? Of course not! Even though our opponent is as powerful as they have always been, the huround and seized a land to call its own through our sweat and tears! Our accomplishments are built upon the bloody foundation laid by our ancestors They ht have also wondered whether victory was possible, but that never swayed their will All they kneas how to fight and when they needed to fight Even if we are fated to lose, we ht until the end That is the only e can establish a foundation for future generations You ask ue rendered Gu Qingluo and the others speechless
Of course
The fight itself was reason enough!
When fighting against a powerful foe, discussing benefits and risks wasto the very end!
Even though Su Chen knew that Origin Beasts were impossible to defeat, he had still dom and the Illustrious Divine Dynasty also possessed such an indomitable spirit No ed forwards with relentless drive, and their efforts had laid the foundation for the hu openly manifested!
The other huainst Su Chen’s speech and could only silently agree
Su Chen continued speaking “So there is no point in fearing what ht happen We will have to pass the trial that is the Origin Beasts one way or another, but e do so is still up in the air The Heavens have given us an opportunity that we o alone that will be better than all of us facing hi the Blood Ancestor to kill hi asked
Su Chen steadfastly replied, “That’s only one option If the Blood Ancestor dies, then the other Beasts will lose their knowledge of where the other Origin Beasts are slu us an opportunity to face them one at a time However, there’s a very real possibility that the Blood Ancestor will pass along that information to the other Beasts as a last resort In fact, I would prefer to not kill him at all”
“Then you mean”
Su Chen calmly replied, “My priority will be to have a conversation with him, if possible”
Redstone Basin
The basin’s walls were still painted in the bright red of fresh blood, and turbulent Origin Energy circulated constantly around the foreboding hole in thehie point, it looked like the whole place was covered in blood, and the setting sun only served to accentuate the basin’s sanguine color
“Don’t go directly to the bloody hole We’ll land on the outskirts and then walk there Avoid uards” Kucha ralanced below before his figure flickered and reappeared just in front of the bloody hole
Kucha was so startled that his jaw almost hit the floor
The basin itself seean to shi+ft around strangely Suddenly, heads and li into bloody creatures that i towards Su Chen These creatures were not puppets; instead, they were Blood Turtles, guards that the Blood Ancestor had created through its own bloodline As long as they were in the Blood Ancestor’s vicinity, each one of the
Su Chen’s sudden appearance had startled these Blood Turtles, causing thee fiercely at this sudden, unknown intruder
Their shrieks and roars had some unique properties as well They could be used to both attack their opponent and forcefully awaken the Blood Ancestor’s soul frag process would also deal a bit of da offered Only in the most dire of moments would this method be used
The Blood Turtles continued to attack Su Chen pri the process
As their cries drilled into Su Chen’s ears, the turtles picked up speed and began ra their bodies into Su Chen
The way that they fought was quite unique They first coiled up into a ball before rolling into their opponents like a boulder Even though this attack was a little crude, they were actually extremely powerful
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and chuckled coldly “Not bad”
The Seven Bloodline Microcosm Aspect appeared behind hiht into the picturesque portrait formed by the Aspect, where they were immediately incapacitated
Kucha had only just flon and landed by Su Chen’s side When he saw that the hundreds of Blood Turtles had already been restricted by Su Chen, he was incredibly shocked He knew just hoerful all of these Blood Turtles were, but even cole move from Su Chen But upon further reflection, he realized that this was actually the expected outcole-handedly
Kucha rushed over agitatedly “Esteeuards, please don’t be anxious He is not an assassin”
One of the Blood Turtles, still rolling through the Aspect’s scenery, cried out, “You traitor! You’ve sold out the Blood Ancestor’s hibernating location!”
