Chapter 701 – The Empress’ Nephew
The crowd of Divine Undead in front of them all knelt down on one knee, paying homage to Isis with the highest level of etiquette.
”Get up quickly, what’s going on with you guys?
Tell us properly, these people should all be the previous generation’s Divine Race Elders, why have they all fallen in this place?”
After Isis issued such a query, these Divine Race Undead in front of them, surprisingly, each and every one of them began to cry out in pain.
From the tremors in their souls, one could feel what kind of pain these undead had suffered before.
”It’s like this, we were all originally the divine servants of these Elder Council Elders!
Ten thousand years ago, that is, the epoch in which the current God King succeeded to the throne, the divine realm suddenly erupted into a mind-boggling riot!
A very powerful, yet unidentifiable force from the Divine Realm suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Council of Elders, destroying the entire Council of Elders within three days.
And shortly after that, a new Council of Elders was quickly formed, and even the God King himself ascended to the throne in a blaze of glory, all of this seems so out of the ordinary, but we, the minuscule roles as servants of the Council of Elders, we simply can’t do anything else other than to fall with our own masters and go to the Yellow Springs together.”
Xu Yang and the others all nodded their heads indistinctly.
”Then do you know why the sarcophagi of these people have appeared in this place?”
A look of gratitude arose on the face of this Divine Servant Undead in front of him.
”It was an unknown powerhouse amongst the God Race that secretly transferred these elders to this place, and even the teleportation channel that you summoned with that special spirit stone was left behind by that one God back then.
According to what we know, that one God with a special identity sacrificed his divine essence to accomplish all of this in the first place, and hid a heavenly secret.”
After such a cognizance came out of this divine servant’s mouth, Xu Yang and the others became more and more serious.
”Boss, it seems that what you were worried about has really happened, things are simply not as simple as we thought.”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but clench his fists, “No matter what, since we’ve stumbled upon it, we must find out what happened to him!”
”The God King is not like the others, being the existence with the highest power in the World of the Heavens, if even he has any unknowable problems, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Both Shi Lingyun and Isis nodded approvingly and looked again at this Undead God Servant in front of them.
”How much more do you know about that god who set all this up in the first place?”
The divine servant also shook his head helplessly, “We don’t even know where he is now, but those five spirit stones that you guys released earlier should be an important virtue in finding the divine element left behind by that god, you guys can try to start with the spirit stones themselves and see if you can find any important clues.”
Hearing this, Xu Yang no longer did any more hesitation and immediately released all of those five spirit stones, and right in front of these Undead God Servants began to coalesce towards a point in the center.
At first, the five spirit stones did not seem to take kindly to Xu Yang’s power, constantly colliding towards the center but never able to complete the fusion.
In the nick of time, it was the Undead God Servant beside him who suddenly spoke up and gave the crowd a few pointers.
”Your Excellency, if you have never been able to fuse these five spirit stones into one, please try to release the divine energy in your body and fuse them.”
This was difficult for the omnipotent Xu Yang, after all, he had never condensed a true Godhead within his body, so where would he get the Divine Yuan to use.
Only Isis pondered for a moment before finally coming to Xu Yang’s side.
”Let me give it a try.”
Xu Yang and Shi Lingyun glanced at each other, both seemingly a little worried about her.
After all, nowadays, some things no longer belonged to her own essence, and even if she wanted to use her Divine Element, she would be cutting directly from amongst her own soul essence.
”Don’t worry, I have the angelic power that you channeled in my body, even if I cut off a part of my soul essence, it won’t hurt.”
This girl Isis was still stubborn, once she decided on her own, it would be hard for other people to change, this point was very similar to Xu Yang.
Only to see her gently pointing towards the center of her eyebrows, a bright soul light slowly condensed.
The soul essence that was as thin as a thread began to merge towards the center where the five spirit stones had coalesced.
As expected, as Isis’s soul power gradually penetrated into these five spirit stones, the spirit stones seemed to have feelings and quickly released five incomparably bright rays of light.
And at the condensation point of these rays of light, the outline of an incomparably translucent human soul began to emerge.
”Oh my god, it’s actually you, Gitan!”
Isis revealed an incomparably excited expression, and it was evident that she was very familiar with this silhouette that had coalesced from these five spirit stones.
”Auntie, is it really you?”
Hearing this fellow address Isis, Xu Yang and Shi Lingyun once again froze in place before gazing at Isis with unbelievable gazes!
”What the hell?
Why did you even have an extra nephew out?”
The empress looked at Xu Yang’s expression at this moment and couldn’t help but smile “Jitan’s grandfather was my father’s disciple and the first war general under my father’s God King’s throne back in the day, a loyal inheritor of our lineage, and my father treated his grandfather as if he were his own back then.
This kid is the one I watched grow up, I even hugged him once, I can’t imagine that all these years have passed in the blink of an eye.”
”Auntie, I finally waited for you to return!
Truth be told, the spirit stone you used to open this passageway is a divine artifact that I refined out of my own bone body for the purpose of protecting these members of the Elder Council.”
Hearing Jitan speak these contents, all three of Xu Yang quickly regained their calm faces.
”Tell us carefully, what exactly happened back then?”
Jitan’s expression immediately became a few degrees more serious, “Ten thousand years ago, when the God-Man King was about to ascend the throne, the God Sealing Order left behind by your father fluctuated, and the dimensional dueling ports of the World of the Heavens swelled more than twice as much as before!
It was also during that time, when I was still in charge of the Divine Realm’s Northern Ming Army?
, then I immediately brought people to check out that gap.
It was also because of that mission that I was lucky enough to escape.
I inquired about some clues amongst that gap, and if I wasn’t wrong, there should have been a large number of extraterrestrial powerhouses that entered the World of the Heavens during that incident.
When I returned to the Divine Realm with this news, the Council of Elders had been brutally murdered, and the Divine Realm had undergone an unimaginable reshuffle, with the forces that had originally supported the previous generation of Divine Kings almost wiped out.
What really surprised me was that not long after this incident, the new generation of god kings actually logically ascended to the throne!
It was because of the many contradictions and suspicions in this that I had to temporarily flee the Divine Realm.
Later on, I hid my divine elemental aura through a special gong method and sneaked back into the Divine Realm to investigate the case back then, and brought out all the corpses of all the seniors of the Elder Council who used to be better off with our lineage.”
