Chapter 677: Chapter 675: The Statue of the God
After collecting the mist, Sally used a Fire Talisman to burn all the white bones.
In the end, just the ashes alone were several meters thick, indicating how many living beings the Insect Queen must have consumed.
“This man-eating monster must be very formidable,” Little Miqi said to Sally. “Mother must get rid of it.”
“Hmm! Mother will exterminate this Insect Queen,” Sally said, holding Little Miqi’s hand as they left the cave.
Now, the System Map clearly displayed that there was an Ash Mountain here.
Xiao Tiantian and Little Fengning were the first two to find the treasure caves.
In the treasure caves as large as four or five soccer fields, there were piles of many artworks, calligraphy and paintings, rare jewels, and weapons, among other things.
The two little ones looked around for a long time but did not find anything they liked.
“This must be trash, the treasures should be in the other caves,” Xiao Tiantian said to Little Fengning, swishing his large tail.
Little Fengning, having followed Sally to other worlds and visited museums and art exhibitions, knew that many treasures were just like these.
Picking up a Blue and White Antique Porcelain Vase, Little Fengning examined the patterns on it. “It should be here. It’s just that these treasures aren’t the same as the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as we perceive them. There are worlds without Spiritual Energy, or where Spiritual Energy is so scarce it can be ignored. In such worlds, treasures might also lack spirit.”
Sally, with Little Miqi, also came to the treasure cave and was astounded by the piles of artworks, jewels, calligraphy and paintings, as well as sports cars and spacecraft, exclaiming, “There are so many!”
She casually picked up a painting.
The painting depicted a blue crescent-shaped bay with rows of white houses along the shore, birds in the sky, and fishing boats at work on the sea… Upon closer appreciation, the entire painting faintly emitted a spiritual aura.
“It’s quite nice,” Sally murmured. Good paintings, given time to mature, can also acquire spirit.
“[Host, collect all these treasures.]”
“[You’re interested?]”
“[Yes.]”
“[I didn’t expect our Xiaomei to appreciate art now.]”
“[Xiaomei doesn’t understand those, but some objects contain energy.]”
The other children also arrived one after another, with Little Dot and Little Beibei being the last to arrive.
They rushed in carrying a scent of smoky flames.
Little Beibei, holding a Fire Talisman, shouted, “We are in first place… right?”
Sally watched them with a smile.
Little Dot replied, “Hmm, we are first, the very last first.” 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Unable to contain her laughter, Sally then clapped her hands and said to the children, “Alright, my dears, we’ve successfully gathered in the treasure cave, you can take whatever treasures you like.”
All the children rushed into the pile of treasures and began to search…
Welly arrived as well.
He laughed, saying, “I saw smoke in the distance and thought you must be here.”
Sally responded, “It’s Little Beibei and Little Dot, those two set a lot of fires. Everywhere they went is filled with the smell of burning insects.”
“Hmm, it’s quite a smell,” Welly observed as he watched the little ones rummage through the ‘trash’, and then a blue leather jewelry box tossed aside by Xiao Tian landed near his feet.
He bent down to pick up the box and opened it… inside was a blue diamond necklace, along with matching rings, earrings, and a bracelet.
“How beautiful! Exquisitely crafted,” Sally came over, picked up a pair of earrings, and put them on her earlobes. She then gently shook her head and asked, “How do I look?”
“Lovely, we’ll use this design as inspiration to craft you a set of Divine-grade protective gear.”
“Thank you, hubby,” Sally tiptoed and gave him a kiss.
Welly was somewhat shy and quickly turned his attention to the children.
However, the little ones were all busy looking for things of interest, with no time to look at them.
Little Miqi was always looking for shiny things. Once she found them, she’d put them in her little storage bag, muttering, “This is for Fifteenth Sister, this is for Sister Xiaoqi, this is for Tenth Sister, this for Sister Manman…”
“Is that insect hard to deal with?” Sally asked Welly.
Welly replied, “Killing him isn’t hard, it’s just a bit of a hassle to subdue him.”
“Subdue him?” Sally was astonished, “Why?”
“His strength is that of a Demon General.”
“Hehe, not bad, not bad, the trip wasn’t in vain, everyone gained something.”
As for the Insect Queen, when Sally and Welly arrived at the World Tree’s root cave, they only found a bug carcass that had been drained of flesh and blood, as well as a huge bug cocoon hanging from the roots.
“No wonder that man said ‘also pregnant,’ it turns out the Insect Queen was pregnant, and sacrificed herself for this cocoon,” Sally looked at the cocoon, remembering Qing wanted an insect, “Let’s take this cocoon away, to my master. He wanted an insect.”
“Hmm.” Welly looked at the dried-up body of the Insect Queen, “How about this?”
“Burn it,” Sally replied, then touched the tree root, “This is the only remaining root of the World Tree. It’s still alive.”
“With the root, it will grow again sooner or later.” Welly used a storage bag specifically for living things to store the cocoon, then handed it to Sally, “You hold onto it.”
“Hmm, I will give it to Master later.” Sally stored it in the System Space.
Inside the root cave, there were also some human bones, which Sally also burned.
…
Hewude Star System, Emperor Star.
After the death of the Insect Queen, it seemed that the leaders of the large Insect Army here also felt it. Leading the Insect Army, they quickly evacuated Emperor Star aboard warships.
Queen Annewisha of the Huanyao Empire, holding the ashes of the former queen, returned to Emperor Star under the protection of the Empire Army, and fulfilled her promise to Welly.
Sally drove the RV, dragging the children along to see her statue and asked the kids inside the vehicle, “Does it resemble your mom?”
“It does!” the children shouted together.
Welly got on the vehicle, taking off the worker’s clothes he was wearing.
Sally said with a smile, “You’ve worked hard, hubby.”
Welly had disguised himself as a sculptor to personally carve Sally’s statue. It was adorned with various amulets inscribed to avoid wind, rain, thunder, dust, and even the outermost layer was a barrier against malice. Only those who truly revered her could touch the divine statue of Sally.
“I didn’t trust others to do it,” Welly touched Sally’s round belly, “Where to next?”
Sally told him to drive, “Back to the Demon Realm to have the baby.”
The due date had already arrived, but because Sally was so well-nourished, the baby was a bit reluctant to leave the womb, showing no signs of arriving just yet.
“Okay,” Welly said to Sally.
Although Emperor Star had been recaptured, the Insect Clan was still out there. Especially one group, the shape-shifting alien Geqihuhot tribe, who had occupied several of the Huanyao Empire’s vital economic planets. The Insect Queen had been reliant on the imposing power of the Geqihuhot tribe. Now that the Insect Queen was gone, they immediately declared independence and began a war that would last hundreds of years with the Huanyao Empire.
During the war, people discovered that wherever there were statues of Sally, the Insect Clan would not invade.
The belief spread from one to ten, from ten to hundreds and thousands, and the number of people worshiping Sally grew more and more…
