Chapter 409 - Lord Bai’s Heritage (1/2)

Beside the insect mother queen and Lord Bai, there were many battles marks left behind by the strong and powerful skills; even after such a long time, some of the stronger skills were still active. It lent a deadlier air to the bloody battlefield.

Even a god wouldn't be able to withstand those skills!

A distance away from the center of the battlefield, there was a teleportation portal that was linked to another planet.

Through the portal, they could see a planet that was larger than the Ancestral Star. The planet was also pockmarked with craters of various sizes all over its surface.

There was no ocean in the planet, and it looked like a wretched ball.

In the sky, they could also see clouds formed by the insects, flying above the ground and on the surface of the planet, there were the large and towering buildings, majestic temples, and mountainous insect god statues!

This was a planet of the insect race!

It was connected to the Ancestral Star, and this ice palace in the Frozen Ancient Capital was the nexus between the two!

"Interesting, very interesting!"

Xin Huo scanned the surroundings through Zhong Yue's eyes and said, "Ah, so this is what happened - someplace on the insect planet has overlapped with the dimension that the Ancestral Star is located in. It must be due to the insect god's skills that had opened a path to the Ancestral Star, falling right on the North Barren, right in Lord Bai's Frozen Ancient Capital, and Lord Bai sensed all of this. Thus, the ice palace was built, and layers of seals were put into place to prevent the insect race from infiltrating to the Ancestral Star. Then, he went over and fought with the queen mother, killing her but also dying himself!"

Zhong Yue nodded and softly said, "Lord Bai ... he really died in battle, these seals are not to leave the heritage behind but to seal the insect race away. His purpose was clear. And that was to prevent the insects from entering the Bai Zhe Clan territory."

He then looked at Bai Shuyue and said softly, "But death came upon him too quick. Lord Bai died in the battle without being able to tell the Bai Zhe Clan. His descendants then explored the ice palace in search of a non-existent heritage. And because of this, countless of your race's experts died here in vain.

Bai Shuyue's face blanched, and a profound sadness filled her eyes. She stared at Lord Bai's corpse, and her aura undulated violently.

Lord Bai, the grand ancestor of a great race, and a godly marquis of the ancient West Barren Imperial Court, had died in a battle against the insect race's queen mother for the survival of the Bai Zhe Clan. And yet, it was only after 50,000 years that his descendants would come to understand his sacrifice.

This was a great tragedy, countless Bai Zhe experts had entered the ice palace in the hope of obtaining Lord Bai's heritage, and because of this, one talent after another was killed. Eventually, resentment built up against Lord Bai for leaving behind such a vicious test. They all questioned why he hadn't just passed down his heritage to the Bai Zhe Clan directly?

But now, every question and doubt were made clear with this revelation.

It wasn't that Lord Bai didn't want to leave his heritage behind, but that death came way too quickly before he could explain.

However, even so, he had placed down three layers of seals and an array formation that could even kill the gods all so that he could protect his people even after death.

Suddenly, Bai Shuyue mumbled to herself, "No, no … Lord Bai left his heritage behind. He did, they are hiding in the skills he left behind on the battlefield. On this piece of land, these skills contain his totem patterns!"

She mumbled, "His heritage is still here!"

Her eyes were then filled with enthusiasm as she said, "I can study the skills here, I can attain his knowledge and recreate Lord Bai's heritage!"

While on the other hand, Zhong Yue shook his head and sighed. Even Zhong Yue himself with the divine third eye couldn't comprehend the knowledge and totem patterns in these leftover skills in a short time, let alone Bai Shuyue who didn't have the divine third eye.

She might not even be able to understand all of the skills even if she were to spend the rest of her life here.

Just as he thought about it, a bright ray of light blasted over like a rainbow bridge from the other end of the battlefield and shone right on Bai Shuyue's forehead.

The power of the light ray lifted Bai Shuyue into the air as if there were an invisible hand pulling her up from the ground. Then, more of these rainbow light rays blasted toward Bai Shuyue from every corner of the battlefield!

Zhong Yue was shocked, and just as he was going to pull her down, Xin Huo stopped him and shouted, "Don't! This is the little girl's fortune! Lord Bai's scattered soul is still lingering in this battlefield. He must have felt the aura of his own people. Lord Bai's scattered soul is passing all of his heritage into Bai Shuyue!"

"Lord Bai's scattered soul?"

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he watched as the rainbow rays flashing across the sky disappeared into Bai Shuyue's forehead. Meanwhile, on Lord Bai's corpse, his wretched phantom was floating above it, looking at Bai Shuyue.

This celestial was slowly fading away. It wasn't hard for Zhong Yue to deduce his identity as Lord Bai.

His spirit was utterly destroyed, and even with the Bai Zhe Clan worshipping him as much as they could, it was still useless. The insect queen mother certainly possessed some means that could vanquish spirits.

However, there was an obsession he could never let go even after death, and this was what tethered this fragmentary piece of his soul to the mortal plane. Now, with his final wish being successfully carried out, his scattered soul began to disperse.

A god that was killed in the way he was would not be able to send his spirit into the Void World anymore, because the spirit and soul were destroyed entirely.

Zhong Yue sighed and then bowed at Lord Bai's scattered soul; although Lord Bai did it for the Bai Zhe Clan, his actions also saved the whole Ancestral Star.

If these insects entered the Ancestral Star, the whole planet would be turned like the insect planet, the landscape would change, and the world would become devoured by the insects. In the end, nothing would be left behind except for the insects and a ravaged planet.

The bright rays kept flashing across the sky, and Bai Shuyue's aura grew increasingly strong. All of a sudden, her inner core flew out and the rainbow rays curled around it, refining her inner core!

"This little girl is just so lucky!"

Xin Huo exclaimed, "Lord Bai's scattered soul is refining her inner core, strengthening her foundation and rectifying any flaws in her cultivation!"
