Chapter: Chapter 520
Beastmen Tribe, Northern Territory, Eagle Tribe.
The center of the largest tribe in the Northern Territory had been cleared into an open space. A large group of beastmen围in outside a striking red alert line, curiously peeking inside, wanting to get a clear view of the scene.
A few days ago, when that beautiful divine bird fell from the sky, it had greatly surprised them. Upon learning that this was their worshipped deity, these bird-like beastmen became incredibly excited.
This was a living deity!
She was so beautiful, so majestic, and so full of divinity, perfectly matching the image of a deity in their hearts!
Less than a day later, the deity’s humanoid form appeared before them, nearly causing them to faint from excitement. They never expected their deity to be so adorable in human form, it was simply perfect!
This led to the beastmen of the Eagle Tribe agreeing to all of Yu’s subsequent requests without a second thought. The higher-ups dared not utter a word of refusal, while the beastmen below sincerely wished to do something for their deity.
Thus, within a few days, all the materials and ritual sites required for Yin Feinuo’s脫離封印 (breaking free from seal) were prepared.
A lifelike stone statue stood on a wooden platform. The statue raised its right hand high, and a golden bracelet was tied to its gray wrist.
This statue was personally crafted by Leticia with magic, consuming a considerable amount of her energy.
As the most important member of this ritual, Leticia wore a thin, moon-white robe today, adorned with a hair accessory woven from phoenix feathers. Compared to her usual demeanor, she exuded an ethereal aura that made the beastmen who saw her whisper amongst themselves, remarking how much she resembled a priestess of the gods from legends.
Various materials needed for breaking the seal had been placed around the platform. Most of them were hastily crafted by Yu during these few days. Although the time was a bit tight, these items were genuinely taken from a true god.
Their effects were absolutely excellent.
“Ancestor, are we ready? The ritual is about to begin,” Leticia asked, standing before the stone statue and looking up at the tall figure.
Yin Feinuo’s slightly excited voice echoed in Leticia’s ears, “Ready. Let’s begin.”
As her voice faded, the entire sky instantly changed color.
The bright daylight was suddenly replaced by night, and a massive black vortex appeared above the Eagle Tribe. Continuous thunder rumbled from high in the sky, as if the world itself was angered.
“@#&%企?鹅qun()*贰@8?刘^jiu)勿*%~9;=三,,$#^玲{妻`Throw the materials into that vortex! Quickly!”
A golden staff appeared in Leticia’s hand. She pointed the tip of the staff towards the sky, and the materials rose into the air, flying one by one towards the giant black vortex.
After absorbing these materials, the rumbling thunder subsided, and a sphere sealed by heavy chains was spat out by the vortex. This was the so-called seal.
And what Leticia needed to do now was to become the key and unlock this lock!
“It’s my first time doing something like this, I’m a little nervous,” Leticia said, taking a deep breath, stamping on the ground, and flying straight towards the sky.
Multicoloured light enveloped her body. To the eyes of others, it was as if a streak of colorful light was shooting towards the chained sphere in the sky.
It was like a miracle, no, it was a miracle!
The beastmen knelt down in unison, chanting the deity’s name. This scene had completely solidified their faith in the deity.
Could an ordinary person cause such a celestial phenomenon?
No!
Only the great and invincible deity could accomplish something like this!
Although Yu seemed to have little to do with this matter…
Not far away, Bai Ling held her sword, a hint of worry on her face as she watched Leticia charge towards the large sphere. In the past few days, Yin Feinuo and Leticia had discussed the seal extensively and conducted several small experiments.
The conclusions they reached were pleasing. Leticia’s quality as a key was excellent, and breaking Yin Feinuo’s seal was as simple as eating and drinking for her. If nothing unexpected happened, the process of breaking the seal would be quite smooth.
“Sister Bai, don’t worry. Sister Leticia will definitely be fine,” Yu said, standing beside Bai Ling and holding her hand, speaking softly. “Sister Leticia is so powerful; this is nothing difficult for her.”
A warmth emanated from the young girl beside her, and Bai Ling’s anxiety slowly subsided. Gazing at the colorful light that was about to collide with the seal, she nodded, “Yes, I believe her.”
A mere seal wouldn’t stump Leticia.
In this world, nothing could stump Leticia, except for the matter of counter-offensive.
Leticia was unaware of what the people on the ground were thinking. She felt very relaxed. The thunderous momentum, while grand, was actually quite weak in its actual effect.
The lightning was trying to stop Leticia’s ascent, but their attacks were too weak for Leticia’s protective colorful light. Leticia didn’t even need to specially guard against them; the colorful light around her could shatter them all.
The giant chains had appeared before Leticia’s eyes. She accelerated her flight speed, and after a few breaths, she plunged headfirst into the dark keyhole.
The moment Leticia rushed into the keyhole, a massive surge of energy flowed out from within the seal. This was the energy Yin Feinuo had accumulated over the days, intended to turn the key that had entered the keyhole.
This energy passed through Leticia’s body. While it was terrifying energy that an ordinary person could not withstand, it did not cause even the slightest discomfort to Leticia, who was a deity. Leticia even felt that the energy could have been more intense.
With her as the conduit, Yin Feinuo’s energy gradually filled the dark space, and then, under Yin Feinuo’s control, it began to move slowly.
As these energies moved, the giant chains in the sky began to creak. The large lock that had secured the sphere seemed to be on the verge of being opened.
The sound of thunder grew even more intense, as if sensing fear for what was about to happen. However, Yin Feinuo paid no mind to this. As she poured the last of her energy into the seal, the seal that had imprisoned her for countless years finally shattered.
Countless golden lights erupted from the keyhole of the giant shackles. The seemingly unbreakable chains shattered piece by piece under everyone’s gaze.
The broken chains fell from the sky, transforming into a cool, fine rain in mid-air, landing on everyone present.
“There seems to be some special power in this rainwater?” Bai Ling asked, reaching out to catch some of the raindrops. She could feel strands of coolness seeping into her palm. This power seemed to be able to improve the physical fitness of ordinary people, a rare encounter for these beastmen.
A deity freed from an age-old seal, perhaps this was her way of celebrating?
As the chains shattered, Leticia, who had served as the key, reappeared before everyone. The black-haired, white-robed girl closed her eyes, enveloped in a layer of condensed colorful light. She slowly descended from the sky, like a goddess descending from the heavens in myths.
The giant light sphere began to dissipate. Golden chains emerged one by one from within the light sphere, grinding the sphere into pieces. Then, the chains retracted inward, and their owner finally appeared in everyone’s sight.
With a face similar to Leticia’s, and adorned in a magnificent black and gold long dress, she exuded a mature charm. Her figure was slightly better than Leticia’s. If she stood next to Leticia, many people would likely immediately recognize their familial relationship.
However, generally speaking, they would be mistaken for sisters.
Her bare feet beneath the black dress were not covered by any other adornments, but rather by golden fine chains that evoked imagination. Similar to her feet, Yin Feinuo’s exposed arms also bore these chain decorations, as if she wanted to highlight her identity with such embellishments.
Leticia, who had already landed, opened her eyes and looked up at the sky, watching her ancestor standing unsupported in the air. A weight had been lifted from her heart.
It seemed that a deity’s seal could indeed be broken.
Yin Feinuo adapted to the feeling of returning to this world in the sky. After a short while, she turned and descended from the sky to Leticia’s side, pinching Leticia’s face with her hand. “Thank you for this, Leti.”
“What’s there to thank between us? Without you, my ancestor, I wouldn’t have been born?” Leticia chuckled. “Let’s go back to the temple first. There are too many people here.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
About ten minutes later, in the temple of the Eagle Tribe, several girls sat in a circle, chattering away.
“Let me introduce you, Linglong. This is my ancestor, and she’s also a deity, a super powerful deity!” Leticia said, pulling the little dragon girl’s hand and introducing Yin Feinuo to Linglong.
Ancestor? Linglong blinked her eyes. Such a young ancestor?
Oh, right. This ancestor was also a deity. Deities couldn’t be judged by their appearance in terms of age.
“Leticia wasn’t born a deity; she became one through her own efforts later,” Yin Feinuo said, noticing Linglong’s confusion. “However, Leticia and I have a very distant familial relationship. We’re separated by dozens of generations, perhaps?”
Dozens of generations? Yin Feinuo couldn’t quite remember how many generations the Demon King had passed down. In any case, it wouldn’t be a small number.
“Oh, I understand!” Linglong nodded obediently.
Could she shake her head?
“Ahem, now that Ancestor is out of the seal, we need to start planning for what comes next,” Leticia cleared her throat, shifting the topic to business.
The expressions of the girls present became serious. Even Yu put away the lollipop Leticia had given her earlier, her small face solemn as she listened intently to Leticia.
“We have obtained the Beastmen Tribe’s prophecy book. Our primary goal now is the Elf Tribe’s prophecy book. And the Elf Queen has a good relationship with us. With her help, obtaining the Elf Tribe’s prophecy book won’t be difficult.”
“Bai Ling and I can handle the Demon Tribe and Human Tribe’s prophecy books. Once we get the Elf Tribe’s prophecy book, we can obtain them quickly. Therefore, I think it’s best to focus our efforts on the Elf Tribe.”
“I have no objections, but how will we get to the Elf Tribe’s world? The connections between the various worlds have not been fully restored yet,” Yin Feinuo raised her hand and asked a question. “Although I understand a bit about spatial travel, I’m not a professional. In this situation, I think forcefully traversing worlds is quite difficult.”
This was indeed a difficult matter, but for Leticia, it wasn’t much of a problem.
Because a few days ago, while collecting materials, she discovered some newly forming spatial channels at the border of the Beastmen Tribe. The emergence of these spatial channels indicated that the connections between worlds seemed to be recovering to their previous state.
Although these small spatial channels were not yet passable by people, Leticia had external help!
As long as Yin remembered her, Yin would definitely traverse worlds to save her immediately!
Even though she hadn’t spent much time with Yin, Leticia could confidently say that Yin, her good sister, was trustworthy and would indeed help when needed.
Now that the connections between worlds were tightening and spatial channels were appearing again, didn’t that mean Yin would be able to come over soon?
If Yin could travel from the Human World, she could certainly transport them from the Beastmen World to the Elf World. See, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
“Now it all depends on how long it takes for Yin to come and pick us up,” Leticia muttered, tapping her chin. “By the way, Linglong, you’ll stay here with the Beastmen Tribe for now. We need someone to manage things here.”
Although Huang’s problem had been resolved, the issues within the Beastmen Tribe were still quite significant. The conflict between the Northern Territory and the Beastmen Royal Court was still very sharp. Previously, Leticia sided with the Royal Court because she had to deal with Huang.
But now that Huang was gone, and the deity worshipped by the Northern Territory was Yu, Leticia could no longer side with the Royal Court to help.
At most, she would remain neutral. If Yu intended to turn the entire Beastmen Tribe into her personal paradise, Leticia might even have to consider lending Yu a hand.
The poor lion-headed people couldn’t imagine that the Demon King, who was an ally just a short while ago, had now switched allegiance and was standing with the bird-like beastmen.
