Chapter 560: Chapter 558: Tragic Loss
…
[Host, although we have returned, we must remain cautious, and it is best not to get involved in this God and Demon War.]
[Don’t worry, can I summon the children back? I don’t know why, but I always feel more secure with the children by my side.]
[You can, but it’s better to send them back after summoning, otherwise it may draw attention.]
[Who would notice?]
[The God and Demon War has begun because the God Venerable divided the Six Realms, causing chaos in the heavenly rules. There’s now a need to disrupt them and establish new rules. As a host who descended into the Beast World, you are not subject to the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. If you are discovered at this time, it is very likely that you will never be able to leave the Beast World.]
Of course, with Xiaomei here, none of these are a problem.]
[Then I’d better play it safe. Protecting Xiaomei, the most important to us, from being discovered is crucial.]
A Substitute Talisman suddenly snapped into two pieces!
Then it turned to ashes!
Sally’s heart shattered in an instant.
[Who did it?]
[Little Beibei.]
A video from the offspring’s moment of death automatically returned to the Offspring System, and Xiaomei immediately showed it to Sally.
Sally opened the video.
In the Asura Realm, Welly stood in front of the altar wearing dark golden secret-patterned black clothes.
His eyes were covered with a layer of eerie white membranes, devoid of any hint of light or shadow.
On the altar lay a little black mouse that couldn’t move at all, along with two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs that had all divine brilliance concealed!
Little Beibei cried out forcefully to Welly, “Uncle Wen——Uncle Wen——Save us!”
Welly seemed as if he heard nothing, remaining indifferent.
The Demon Lord, who had possessed E·Sha’s Demonic Body, stood beside Welly. “All three of them?”
“Only one,” replied Welly, his voice devoid of any warmth.
“You’re not saying it’s that little black mouse, are you?” The Demon Lord examined the frail female mouse.
“Let’s find out,” said Welly as he took out a cauldron and placed the two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs into it.
The Demon Lord, shocked by the sight of the cauldron, exclaimed, “The Ancient Primordial Cauldron!”
“A replica,” Welly responded.
The Demon Lord instantly lost interest and focused on the little black mouse on the altar. “Shall we try?”
Welly didn’t speak but instead dripped two drops of his own blood into the cauldron.
The blood was vivid red but emitted black mist as it fell into the cauldron… At the same time, the Demon Lord activated the array on the altar!
Little Beibei seemed to realize what she was about to face, didn’t struggle in vain, but just stared at Welly with her little black eyes filled with tears and resentment!
Surrounding the altar, strands of bizarrely shaped black mist slowly arose, seemingly struggling to break free from the altar, but they were bound to it, until as if discovering Little Beibei, this fresh and spirited flesh and blood, they surged towards Little Beibei all at once…
The video ended there.
After watching, Sally’s complexion turned as pale as paper, her lips trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word. It was only after a long time that she blinked her eyes.
Xiaomei’s voice became much softer, [Little Beibei has been sacrificed! She can’t be summoned back!]
[The mark on my back, and the marks on Little Beibei and the others, can you check to see if they are indeed partner marks?]
[Yes, host. The mark on your back is a partner mark, and there’s no issue with the offspring marks on Little Beibei and Yangyang Xiaoxiao. Wait!] Xiaomei’s voice suddenly tensed up.
[This mark actually conceals a Summoning Law!]
[Summoning Law?]
[Laws are energy that is born alongside heaven and earth, distinct from rules. Rules are energy bylaws established by the Heavenly Dao. It was through Bai Ren’s data that Xiaomei discovered the differences between the two. Previously, when Xiaomei used rule data, the source code would always be captured by the Main System, but Bai Ren’s data contains sequences of laws]
[Cut the preliminaries, first summon Xiaoxiao and Yangyang back. And remove the black butterfly mark on my back!]
[Alright, Host.] Xiaomei replied.
Soon, two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs with surfaces covered in black patterns appeared in the System Space.
Sally’s face turned extremely grim upon seeing those black patterns.
[Remove these things too!]
[Host, to remove these Demon Runes, we need to reincubate the two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs.]
[What does reincubate mean?]
[They are about to hatch right now, but Xiaomei can make them return to their just-born state, which means all their growth over this period of time, and the immense Kunpeng Elemental Power You Hao expended to incubate them, will also be eradicated.]
[Eradicate!]
[Okay, Host.]
Sally opened the System Map and removed her clothes; her back was snowy white and exquisitely beautiful, smooth and unblemished. The mate mark left by Welly had disappeared.
Yet, she still carried his child in her womb! Sally’s heart turned ice cold wave after wave.
[Does Little Fengning have any marks he left on him?]
[No. Little Fengning only has the Lineage Marks left by Zi Qi and Qing Linghuan.]
[Qing Linghuan?] Sally recalled his initial attitude toward Welly—it was an innate hostility.
[Where is he now?]
[Tianhu Mountain, he’s in closure with the children. Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Xiao Tiantian have all fallen asleep, while Little Shiqi must have eaten some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and is also sleeping. The Host can see the status of all four children; they’re in deep slumber.]
[…] This guy’s first reaction to everything is to put the kids to sleep. No matter if the sky falls or the earth collapses, sleeping is the best policy.
[And what about him?]
[Protecting the children, he has no reaction to the God and Demon war.]
[Forget it, let him do whatever he wants, sleeping is quite nice. If it doesn’t work out, send Xiaoxiao and Yangyang over too.]
[Alright, Host.] Xiaomei replied.
Sally watched as the two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs suddenly vanished, [Did you really send them?]
[Didn’t the Host say to send all the children there? Tianhu Mountain is still quite safe at the moment, with heavy restrictions outside, and the rich Divine Qi inside is also good for the children.]
[Huh? Why was Little Miqi sent away too?]
[After getting strongly injured this time, Little Miqi’s Talent has entered the God Rank. With Qing Linghuan protecting her, ascending to Divine Status is more convenient. And since the Divine Realm is currently chaotic, the arrival of new gods to Divine Status won’t draw much attention.]
[I had no clue, and that little girl didn’t even tell me.]
Little Fengning, playing games, noticed that Little Miqi was gone and hurriedly came out to ask, “Aunt Xiaomei, where is Sister Mi Qi?”
Sally moved him out of the space and patted his head, “Sister Mi Qi has gone to the Divine Realm, she’s going to ascend to Divine Status.”
“May I go to see her?” Little Fengning asked.
“No.” Sally replied apologetically, “You’ll have to stay in the space for a while.”
She summoned Xiaoxiao and Yangyang; Welly must have known she had returned, and he might come to ask for Little Fengning, as well as the child in her belly.
He once said he wanted to use the cauldron to nurture the fetus; judging by what he did for Xiaoxiao and Yangyang, that might actually be possible.
Welly and the Demon Lord were together. One feared nothing more than the extinction of the Heavenly Dao, and the other’s purpose was inscrutable…
