My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 479 - 441: Once Glorious (Large - )_2

"They devour the Origin of life planets, leaving every world they pass through a dead zone, planets fall silent, and countless races vanish into oblivion.

Our Origin Star was the only civilization that could hinder the advance of the ’Devil Race,’ but in the end, we failed. The blood of the gods spilled, the heavens and earth mourned—the Third Epoch was also known as the ’Era of the Gods’ Fall.’

Later, it must have been a critical decision; the Origin Star was hidden away by the Sages with great effort. However, something happened that caused the interruption of inheritance, the decline of Source Qi, marking the beginning of the Fourth Epoch, the ’End of Dharma Era.’ And now, the Source Qi is reviving, but..."

Zhen paused, "But... the Origin Star has been discovered by the ’Devil Race,’ the scent of demonized beasts, I can sense it, they are the weapons created by them, and those alien races are merely the Devil Race’s minions.

In the heyday of the Origin Star, even the Saints with their strength were devastatingly defeated by the ’Devil Race.’ Now, we have lost our inheritance, we have no Saints, and even the humans of today are incredibly weak... it’s over, all over, once the world’s barriers are broken, that will be the absolute end."

Zhen was in sorrow, despair.

Rolling his eyes as if a salted fish looking up at the sky.

Full of negative energy.

Tang Yu was panicking just from listening.

Back then, countless max-level characters were abused, and now there was just a group of under-ten-level newcomers, how could they fight?

However, he felt there might still be hope for salvation. At least for now, the pressure the alien race brought him was still moderate. As for the level above Transcendent... Eileen’s inheritance contained the knowledge above Transcendent... Tang Yu thought that his ’Demon Swordsman’ inheritance should also have it, only he hadn’t even reached Transcendent yet to detect the deeper content of the inheritance.

Lately, he’s been tinkering with the ’Demon Swordsman’ inheritance crystal from time to time, hoping to knock out a set of inheritance equipment similar to Eileen’s.

But with no results yet.

Zhen was still looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

Tang Yu couldn’t help himself, "Since the Origin Star was once glorious, there must be remnants left behind, right? I heard there’s something called ’Life Original Solution’ which is quite impressive. A few hundred kilograms of it could help us make a rapid breakthrough.

And by signing a contract with you Elves, one can also gain your abilities, right? Then grant me an Earth Series top-tier affinity."

"I’m just an Elf, struggling even to leave Kong’an Mountain. How would I know where the remnants are! You can sign a contract if you want, but if your Earth Series affinity is too poor, you won’t gain much from it... Wait, are you a Puppet? A Transcendent-level Puppet, and you’re just a strand of spirit attached to the Puppet?"

Zhen’s vaguely luminescent figure suddenly brightened at the eyes, "Transcendent Puppets could be considered advanced weapons in that glorious age."

That was more surprising than a Transcendent human appearing before Them.

Could it be inherited from a ’Station,’ one of the treasures left from that era?

But immediately, Zhen deflated, "The Saints have fallen, what good is a Transcendent Puppet? Puppets are but inanimate objects, forever limited, not as good as a Transcendent human being. At least humans can practice and advance, sometimes you humans don’t work hard enough, you don’t even know what real despair is..."

Tang Yu habitually ignored the latter part of Zhen’s words, his eyebrows raising slightly, "A Puppet is just an inanimate object? Are you saying that in the Second or Third Epochs they didn’t develop Puppets that could cultivate on their own?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Zhen looked at him as if he had asked an incredibly stupid question, "Do Puppets have meridians? Do they have dantians? You need to control the dantian to make it operate, how could a Puppet possibly cultivate on its own!"

Tang Yu really wanted to retort that as long as you could make the dantian grow, you actually could cultivate on your own.

But after thinking about it, he decided not to stoop to Zhen’s level, paused, and took out a high-purity Dark Series Source Crystal from his Space Necklace, placing it in the palm of his hand.

Nightmare clasped the high-purity Source Crystal tightly, controlling the absorption of the pure Source Power within. The next moment, Nightmare’s aura increased by a sliver.

Very faint.

But Elves had a strong sense of perception, Zhen keenly noticed the change, "Aura... it’s not feigned by you is it? I know some Puppets mimic breath and body odor for realism, but..."

They witnessed the high-purity Source Crystal being absorbed and transformed.

Tang Yu seemed not to hear, continuing, "Not only that, this Puppet of mine also possesses Space Series abilities... but it’s not odd for a Puppet to have a variety of abilities, is it?"

Zhen sank most of their body into the ground leaving only their head above.

Seemingly in a state of self-doubt.

"Right, after all, I’m just an Elf from Kong’an Mountain. The trump cards held by the Origin Star, it’s normal I wouldn’t understand... maybe, maybe it’s just part of my memory that’s lost, it must be..."

Zhen muttered softly.

Tang Yu pretended not to hear, chuckling inwardly.

Though Zhen knew everything and said it all, the elf’s pride still inadvertently showed through.

—It’s not about anyone in particular, but compared to the Sages, you’re the worst generation in the history of Origin Star.

Even though it was true, Tang Yu couldn’t stand it.

Automated cultivation for No. 1 and No. 2 seemed even beyond Zhen’s comprehension.

Tang Yu, on the other hand, sighed in relief... he had nearly been infected by Zhen’s negativity.

Nevertheless, Tang Yu still coveted Zhen.

As the saying goes, having an elder in the home is like possessing a treasure. Though Zhen had revived not long ago and was only a few months old, the knowledge and secrets he held were extensive.

Tang Yu couldn’t possibly ask everything in a moment.

Or perhaps... he could entice Zhen to his own territory.

After all, Zhen was a Transcendent Combat Power, and more importantly, Zhen could grant Awakeners a stronger affinity with Earth Series—Tang Yu was clear there must be limitations, but one’s gain was another’s loss, and either way, he wouldn’t lose out.

"You are an elf, tied to the glory and failure of Origin Star. The survivors of this state have no hope, but in my territory, hope’s glow still shines brightly. Instead of continuing to lie around like a salted fish here, why not come with me and lend a hand in saving the world?"

Zhen sighed, "Anyway, dying here or there is all the same, alright, I accept."

Words of despair, but his actions were sincere.

Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction. Straightforward elves were easy to sway.

However, elves were limited in their range of activity. To bring Zhen to his territory, there was one last issue to resolve.

—He had to select a geomantically auspicious mountain peak around his territory or some special carrier to transplant Zhen there.

Before departing, Tang Yu left a coordinate marker and proposed a sparring challenge to Zhen.

Zhen agreed.

In terms of aura, Zhen was on the same level as Nightmare—ordinary Transcendent tier. However, once in battle, Tang Yu discovered it wasn’t so simple.

Zhen could instantaneously teleport anywhere within Kong’an Mountain’s domain and swiftly mobilize the immense Earth Series Source Qi. If it were not for Nightmare’s swift escape, he might have been crushed.

In a direct confrontation, Zhen could possibly hold his own against a Transcendent Second Stage being for a while—his value had increased!

Yet, there were also flaws.

Elves were formidable within their own domains, but once far away, they were immediately dispirited.

Within his territory,

Tang Yu immediately ordered the Investigation Corps’ Awakeners to search for a suitable environment around the Sanctuary, and for the Logistics Department staff to prepare a large quantity of Earth Series materials—luring Zhen over did come at a price after all.

...

East of Daxia Country, surges rose wildly on the vast sea.

Since the apocalypse, the ocean had been forbidden to humans. On land, Demonized Beasts occupied most areas, and the ocean had the Abyssal Rift; however, the ocean was not the Demonized Beasts’ domain, it belonged to the Sea Beasts.

Terrifying Sea Beasts made the ocean a forbidden zone.

Like the Luoxia Sanctuary, situated near the seashore, it faced incessant attacks from the Sea Beast Tide daily—and those were merely the Shallow Sea Beasts that had lost in their struggle for survival and were driven towards land under the pressure to survive.

At this moment,

On the perilous sea surface, a few uniquely shaped vessels were rapidly sailing from a distant island toward the coast of Daxia Country.

(Ah~ it’s still such a struggle to write, really squeezing out each Chapter (ಥ﹏ಥ))
