Star Odyssey Chapter 2044

Chapter 2044

It was at this moment that the Sixth Mainland’s three Semi-Progenitors arrived. Jiu Yao, Lan Xian, and Herb Immortal approached, and they all stared at the heated battles that had erupted between different human Semi-Progenitors with blank expressions.

None of the newcomers recognized Lu Buzheng, but they acknowledged his obvious strength. Seeing an unknown man engaged in a brutal fight with Ni Huang led the three Semi-Progenitors to believe that Lu Buzheng was someone from Aeternus.

This was precisely what Lu Yin feared, so he quickly called out to them, “Aeternus’s Semi-Progenitors have already been pushed back. We need to hurry and get rid of these corpse kings before they scatter and become a problem to deal with."

"Who are those people?" Lan Xian asked curiously.

Upon seeing Lan Xian, Kui Luo shouted at her, "Girl, help us deal with these people! All of them are traitors!"

"You’re the traitor! All survivors from the Lu family must die!" w.a.n.g Si screamed back.

Jiu Yao glanced across the region of s.p.a.ce. "It appears that this is a matter of internal matter for your Fifth Mainland, which has nothing to do with my Sixth Mainland. You can settle things yourselves."

He then s.h.i.+fted his attention over to the horde of corpse kings in the distance. Even though they had spread out a bit, they could not really leave, as they were surrounded by fighting Semi-Progenitor.

Not all the corpse kings were intelligent, and most of the horde was waiting for orders. However, they had already been abandoned by Forgotten Ruins G.o.d and Whiteless G.o.d. Actually, it was possible that these corpse kings had not been abandoned, but were rather tools to further whittle down the human Semi-Progenitors’ stellular energy reserves.

Given the current situation, once someone used up their stellular energy, they would not be able to regain anymore. After losing their stellular energy, even Semi-Progenitors would experience a sharp decrease in strength, and their strength would continue to fall until they lost all of their viable combat strength.

Aeternus had always excelled at wave tactics, as the lives of corpse kings were worth nothing to them.

"In order to get rid of those monsters, we need to attack, but if we attack…" Lan Xian left the last bit unsaid, though her meaning was perfectly clear.

Jiu Yao looked up and watched as the droplet of mysterious liquid crazily devoured stellular energy. He eventually shook his head. "We won't do anything. Even if we are able to deal with this, we will do nothing. Leave this to those weaker than us."

Herb Immortal frowned. If people weaker than Semi-Progenitors were forced to eliminate the corpse king horde, countless people would die. Still, there was no other option. The Semi-Progenitors had to maintain a certain level of fighting strength, or else Aeternus’s Semi-Progenitors would easily eliminate all humans from the Sixth Mainland.

"Are you people from the Sixth Mainland?" Sky Garan asked as he approached Jiu Yao and the other two.

Lan Xian glanced over at Sky Garan. "Who are you?"

Sky Garan's eyes flickered. "Do you know the Garan family?"

The expressions of all three Semi-Progenitors changed, and they stared at Sky Garan. "Are you someone from the ancient era? Who are you?"

Sky Garan had wanted to say that he was a member of the Garan family, but after witnessing Lu Buzheng's rage and Ni Huang's counterattack, the young man had become very wary.

If even families like the w.a.n.g and Bai families had managed to rebel against the Lu family that had once ruled the Fifth Mainland, was it possible that the Sixth Mainland had also rebelled against the Garan clan? Why else would there be absolutely no mention of the Garan clan in the current era? On top of that, just his simple question had caused these Semi-Progenitors from the Sixth Mainland to ask if Sky Garan was someone from the ancient era. This made it quite clear that the Garan clan truly no longer existed. What had happened to them?

Sky Garan reacted quickly, and he changed his response. "I am indeed from the ancient era, but I’m a member of the Sixth Mainland’s Nan family. No one seems to know of the Garan family, but you clearly recognize it. It seems that you truly are from the Sixth Mainland."

"Are you testing us?" Lan Xian was taken aback.

Just as Sky Garan was about to answer, Jiu Yao stepped forward and released a wave of pressure. The man’s eyes were icy. "The Nan family? Are you from the Nan family?"

Sky Garan was startled. It was clear that there was something wrong. "What's wrong with the Nan family?"

Herb Immortal slowly answered, "The reason why the Fifth Mainland waged such a brutal war against my Sixth Mainland was because of the Nan family’s Progenitor Nan. It could be said that Progenitor Nan instigated the entire war, and that war is the reason why my Sixth Mainland lost most of our powerhouses. More than half of the Daosource Sect was destroyed, and many of our inheritances were lost. Although the Fifth Mainland was eventually defeated and we even changed the Fifth Mainland’s sky, all of that happened because of the Aeternals’ manipulations. Progenitor Nan was publicly reviled and condemned as a disgrace to all Progenitors."

As he spoke, Herb Immortal shook his head. "The Nan family is the greatest shame of the Sixth Mainland."

Jiu Yao spoke up again, his voice as cold as ever. "Progenitor Nan is dead, and the Nan family has been wiped from existence. If you are from the Nan family, then you must similarly pay for Progenitor Nan’s crimes."

Sky Garan’s face twitched. He had only casually selected the Nan family as his alias, as it had been a powerful family of the Sixth Mainland during the Heavens Sect era, and Sky Garan had personally been close to the family. That was the extent of his relations.h.i.+p with them, and he absolutely had not expected to encounter such a reaction.

Xia De happened to overhear the conversation from where he was fighting against Highsage Grandmaster. Out of everyone in the entire universe, the Xia family’s greatest hatred was absolutely not directed towards the Lu family, but rather the Nan family. The Nan family was the culprit behind Progenitor Chen, Xia Shang, attacking the Sixth Mainland and leading to the two mainlands’ ultimate defeat at the hands of the Aeternals. The Lu family had then been forced to lead the remnant forces of the Fifth Mainland to the Perennial World.

If not for Progenitor Nan, Progenitor Chen would still be the most powerful person of the current era. Even if ancient legendary figures like the Lu family’s Dao Monarch appeared, the Xia family would have never joined the Bai family in rebelling against the Lu family. If Progenitor Chen were present, the Xia family would have no reason to rebel, as everyone would be forced to show the Xia family a measure of respect. Progenitor Chen had been the symbol of the Daosource Sect era, and he had even single-handedly controlled two of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. That was a rare accomplishment throughout all of history.

Because of Progenitor Nan’s actions, it was questionable whether Progenitor Chen was still alive, and the Xia family had fallen to the same level as the w.a.n.g and Bai families and the White Dragon Clan. During the Daosource Sect era, the existence of Progenitor Chen had allowed the Xia family to evenly compete with the Lu family for the position of the most dominant power in the Fifth Mainland.

"So you’re a member of the Nan family? Then you can die for me!" Xia De completely ignored everything else at the moment to attack Sky Garan.

While Sky Garan had previously shared his ident.i.ty with Lu Yin on the back of Ancestor Tortoise, and although he had clearly mentioned that he was part of the Garan clan, at that time, Ni Huang and the other Semi-Progenitors had all been focused on Lu Buzheng. They had completely ignored the young man. This was why Xia De believed Sky Garan’s words that he was a member of the Nan family, which was the Xia family’s greatest enemy.

Sky Garan's looked as though he had just swallowed a dead bug. Why was the Nan family so hated?

Xia De attacked Sky Garan, but Lan Xian blocked the attack. "No matter who he might be, only my Sixth Mainland can deal with him. You are not allowed to interfere."

Lu Yin was still on the back of Ancestor Tortoise, but the commotion had drawn his attention, and he could not help but ask, "Didn’t you say that you were a part of the Garan clan? When did you become part of the Nan family?"

Sky Garan's expression changed yet again, and he shot a cold glare towards Lu Yin. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had actually exposed his true ident.i.ty! He had hoped to enter the Sixth Mainland and surrept.i.tiously learn about what had happened to the Garan clan before deciding whether to reveal himself. With Lu Yin’s words, Sky Garan was doomed if the Sixth Mainland had rebelled against the Garan clan.

That Lu Yin b.a.s.t.a.r.d had someone to protect him, but Sky Garan had no one. He had only met Lu Buzheng by coincidence, and there was no real relations.h.i.+p between the two. Hen Xin was from the Third Mainland, and Jue Yi was from the First Mainland. Sky Garan was completely alone. What an a.s.shole!

Sky Garan turned to anxiously look at Jiu Yao, waiting for a reaction. The young man’s ident.i.ty had already been exposed, and there was nowhere he could hide.

Xia De was stunned. "What do you mean, the Garan clan? Isn't he from the Nan family?"

Jiu Yao stared at Sky Garan. "Are you from the Garan clan or the Nan family?"

"He's from the Garan clan!" Lu Yin called out. Sky Garan had been so arrogant that Lu Yin was happy to knock the man down a few pegs.

An ugly expression appeared on Sky Garan's face. Still, he met Jiu Yao's eyes and raised his head high as he let out a breath and proudly proclaimed, "I am Sky Garan, the Dao Chosen of the Sixth Mainland’s Garan clan."

The three Semi-Progenitors from the Sixth Mainland just stared at Sky Garan in disbelief.

“Garan clan” and “Dao Chosen” were ancient terms from a time before anything that was known. The three had never expected to hear those words in the current era, let alone encounter someone who held those t.i.tles.

"Do you- do you know of the Garan clan?" Sky Garan shouted his greatest question as he stared at Jiu Yao, trying to see something in the man’s eyes.

Jiu Yao stared intently at Sky Garan and nodded. "The Garan clan ruled my Sixth Mainland, and I readily tell you that, as long as you can prove your ident.i.ty, you will be acknowledged as my Sixth Mainland’s Dao Chosen."

Sky Garan was thrilled, though he remained wary. He still was not certain if Jiu Yao was just trying to first take him away, but after a moment’s thought, the young man realized that Jiu Yao had no need to put on such pretenses. It was impossible for Sky Garan to escape from three Semi-Progenitors.

With his ident.i.ty exposed and without any support or protection, Sky Garan let go of all of his reservations. "I will prove my ident.i.ty. The Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect still exists, so let’s go there."

Jiu Yao nodded. "Please."

Even Jiu Yao felt that he should show respect to the Garan clan’s Dao Chosen. The family had once ruled the Sixth Mainland, and while the family had never been betrayed, they had disappeared on their own, and no one knew why. Given the fact that this young man had been given the t.i.tle of Dao Chosen, it meant that he would eventually become a Progenitor, and at that time, he would become the most powerful individual in the entire universe. The Sixth Mainland was willing to give Sky Garan a chance.

The Sixth Mainland’s Progenitor of Secret Arts had betrayed humanity, and the Progenitor of Combat had died. Only the Progenitor of Bloodlines still lived, and he had gone into hiding. The Sixth Mainland was desperate for more powerhouses to rise up.

Atop Ancestor Tortoise, Lu Yin was frustrated at how things had unfolded. He had wanted to create a challenge for Sky Garan, but unexpectedly, the young man had been acknowledged and readily accepted.

Sky Garan turned back to look at Lu Yin. "The Dao Chosen were without peers within the same realm during the Heavens Sect era, and that remains true even now. I will show you the difference in our eras. There is an insurmountable gap between you and I."

When he finished speaking, Sky Garan moved behind Jiu Yao and prepared to leave.

"He’s far too arrogant! Seventh Bro, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is actually looking down on you! You need to show him what’s what!" The Ghost Monkey suddenly spoke up. He was right next to Ancestor Tortoise, as he had come to take refuge with Lu Yin.

All of Aeternus’s monsters were trapped in front of the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea, just waiting to be wiped out. Regardless of whether the human Semi-Progenitors or someone else took action, their fate was sealed. The Ghost Monkey did not want to die with the corpse kings, so he had fled to Lu Yin’s side.

Lu Yin glanced at the Ghost Monkey, but this was not the time to pay any attention to the astral beast: Jue Yi had already attacked Ancestor Tortoise.

Death energy surged in outer s.p.a.ce, and it gathered together to form a ma.s.sive black orb that bore down upon Ancestor Tortoise. Lu Yin had seen something similar before, as it was the same attack that he had seen in the vision that had appeared of the G.o.d of Death’s back. This was the attack that had been used against the ma.s.sive beast.

Death energy, just like stellular energy, was nothing more than an energy that was used for cultivation, and everyone was capable of using the energies differently.

Jue Yi had to focus his expertise in the usage of death energy, though Lu Yin had no idea if the man was truly the G.o.d of Death’s disciple or not. Regardless, it was clear that Jue Yi’s mastery of death energy far surpa.s.sed Lu Yin’s.

It was not easy to gather this much death energy, but just like Lu Yin’s Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, this technique was capable of exerting extraordinary power.

The huge black ball of death energy pressed up against Ancestor Tortoise, and the creature looked up at it with dull eyes. However, the tortoise did not move at all, and the orb of death energy suddenly struck the Mavis family’s divine tree. Lu Yin nervously watched as the tree was struck, only to see that the tree easily endured the blow, flinging the death energy away. The colossal tree remained standing as before, calm as could be.

Jue Yi was dumbstruck, and his eyes s.h.i.+fted from Lu Yin to the divine tree. Slowly, his eyes went wide, as though seeing something unbelievable. “The Mavis family’s divine tree?"
