Chapter 327: Birth! Liu Bing
Chapter 327: Birth! Liu Bing
In the conference room of a warship hovering above the sea in the Heavenly Virtue Civilization.
"It's been almost five months."
"Such a long time, and still no news," Ye An Demigod's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
His status in the Thousand Demon Civilization was unparalleled, surpassing most 'Sovereigns' of other Divine Kingdoms. His time was invaluable.
This time, he was dispatched by the Eastern Demon Deity with the primary goal of deterring the Heavenly Virtue Civilization from attempting to seize the treasures acquired by the Thousand Demon Civilization's genius.
Unexpectedly, nearly half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ye An Demigod," Jin Liang Demigod entered the conference room, which was unusually empty today, and said in a deep voice, "I just received news that Yu Jinghe has returned."
"Yu Jinghe of the Seven Star Civilization? Isn't he trapped in the Sacred Land?" Ye An Demigod was taken aback.
"I've just learned of this as well," Jin Liang Demigod said solemnly. "According to reliable information... he's been back for at least a month."
"So long? Why wasn't it discovered earlier?" Ye An Demigod asked in a low voice.
"After his return, he has been keeping his whereabouts hidden, so we were completely unaware," Jin Liang Demigod shook his head and sighed. "This discovery... is purely coincidental."
"But what happened to him in the Sacred Land and what he obtained there remain a complete mystery," Jin Liang Deity added.
"Coincidence?" Ye An Demigod didn't press further.
The Heavenly Virtue Civilization was a vassal of the Thousand Demon Civilization, but not his personal vassal, so it was natural that they wouldn't reveal the secrets of their intelligence network to him.
"I understand."
"I'll report to the Deity and find a way to get to the bottom of this," Ye An Demigod said quietly.
The Thousand Demon Civilization's intelligence network was undoubtedly superior... Now that they knew the specific target, the investigation would be much easier.
...
Soon after.
In the Flying Star, a mysterious place where Dong Fang Ji had secluded himself for an extended period, amidst a void.
"Master."
A deep voice resonated, "I just received news that the Heavenly Virtue Civilization has traced Yu Jinghe's whereabouts, and the leak seems to have occurred recently."
"Recently?" Dong Fang Ji opened his eyes, furrowing his brows. "Have you investigated Yu Jinghe's recent activities?"
"Yes, I have."
"Yu Jinghe has been in seclusion, following orders, and hasn't made any public appearances. He only recently contacted his family," the deep voice explained. "Based on the clues, I've currently identified six targets and am conducting further tracking."
"Hmm, after confirming the details, refrain from taking any hasty actions for now. Find other reasons to bring him out later," Dong Fang Ji instructed.
"Yes, sir."
"I have another matter to report," the deep voice continued. "The force attempting to infiltrate the Blue Star virtual network's host has been partially identified... and the source seems to be in the Jiangnan Province of Xia Guo."
"Jiangnan Province?" Dong Fang Ji's brows knit as he was familiar with the place, being from Xia Guo himself.
"The target's location is uncertain," the deep voice explained. "However, the locked-down area seems to overlap with the region where Li Yuan previously secluded himself to cultivate the Powerful Star Technique."
A glint flashed through Dong Fang Ji's eyes.
Last September.
Li Yuan obtained a treasure worth 500,000 Seven Star points and secluded himself in the Ancient God Palace to cultivate the Star Art, effectively disappearing from the supervision of the Seven Star Civilization's authorities.
Although not a single authority from the Seven Star Civilization inquired about his seclusion, the Surveillance System still marked the area.
"Share your speculation," Dong Fang Ji said softly.
"Based on the previous signs, the 'Realm within a Realm' of Lie Yu Star Realm likely contains a powerful inheritance from a formidable figure, at least a Peak Void Deity of the Fifth Rank or possibly even a True Deity," the deep voice analyzed.
Dong Fang Ji listened intently, "Go on."
"Within this inheritance Li Yuan acquired, there should be a formidable force," the deep voice continued. "Currently, it's impossible to confirm whether Li Yuan has control over this force."
"I speculate that hidden there is either a Cavern Treasure or a Divine Starship," the deep voice revealed. "If you wish to uncover the truth, I can order the Guardian Legion to activate the Stellar Essence Array and conduct a thorough search, which will undoubtedly yield results."
"There's no need."
"Let's monitor the situation for now," Dong Fang Ji said softly. "Didn't Yu Jinghe say that Li Yuan didn't die and obtained great benefits from the Mother Ship?"
"Wait for Li Yuan to return."
"Then question him to test his response," Dong Fang Ji said slowly. "Everyone has their secrets. Li Yuan possesses extraordinary talent and even more remarkable opportunities compared to Fang Hai... If we handle this well, our Seven Star Civilization might give birth to an extraordinary existence."
"But if we don't manage it properly... I don't want to bring harm to the Seven Star Civilization," Dong Fang Ji shook his head. "You mentioned a thorough investigation, but what if this hidden force includes Divine Power? Can the Guardian Legion withstand it?"
"Even if I travel in a warship through the starry sky, it would still take several days to reach there."
The void fell silent.
After a while, the deep voice spoke, "Master, I was wrong, and my consideration was inadequate."
"I understand your concern," Dong Fang Ji said softly. "You want to control the situation and eliminate all uncontrollable factors."
"But the more talented they are, the more uncontrollable they become," Dong Fang Ji added.
"Those you can easily monitor, like Duan Mu Hong or San Ye, can you expect them to become the leaders of the Seven Star Civilization? Can you entrust the Seven Star Civilization to them?" Dong Fang Ji shook his head. "And someone like Fang Hai, can you keep him under surveillance?"
The source of the deep voice fell silent.
"Go and keep a close eye on Li Yuan's movements." Dongfang Jiduo instructed, "Also, monitor the Wan Han Star Realm... According to your previous simulation using the 'Mother Ship Core', its emergence should be within the next year or two."
"Yes."
A deep voice assured, "Rest assured, master, I will keep watch. If anything happens, I'll notify Fang Hai immediately and have him go there."
...
Ming Xu Star Realm, the core of the Mother Ship.
Inside the palace.
"It's almost time," declared the One-Horned Colossal Phantom, overlooking the nearly dried-up Divine Pool and Li Yuan, whose spiritual aura was visibly waning.
After three months of continuous consumption, Li Yuan's physical body and soul had suffered significant strain.
In stark contrast to Li Yuan's aura, a Sacred Blood Sky Serpent egg, with a diameter exceeding ten meters, radiated a much stronger aura than before.
Whoosh! With a wave of Chou Bingzun's hand, countless crimson mystic runes emitting peculiar fluctuations appeared above Li Yuan and the giant egg. The runes gathered, forming a massive and unique pattern.
"Li Yuan!" Chou Bingzun's deep voice resonated, "The bloodline contract is about to begin. Get ready."
Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked up at the enormous crimson pattern, which emanated an ancient and vast aura.
Li Yuan could sense a faint wave of intention from it—a pledge!
This was a contract, formed by invoking the grand dao's fluctuations.
Rumble! The massive crimson pattern descended slowly, with one end landing on Li Yuan and the other on the giant egg. Immediately, countless crimson phantoms flew out from the pattern, continuously merging into the bodies of both Li Yuan and the egg.
"Merge," Li Yuan allowed these strange energies to enter his body without resistance.
His body and soul seemed to blend together.
As time passed, the enormous crimson pattern gradually dissipated, and Li Yuan faintly sensed the life force emanating from within the egg... An invisible connection had been established between them.
A natural affinity.
"Master... Master?" A slightly immature voice echoed in Li Yuan's mind.
Crack! Crack! Crack! The green egg, emanating a powerful aura, suddenly cracked open, revealing the massive figure within. A giant green flying serpent coiled inside.
At first glance, it didn't seem much different from an ordinary flying serpent.
But upon closer inspection, one would find its scales incredibly crystalline, its wings and sharp claws seemingly crafted by a divine artisan... Moreover, its body emanated a vibrant life force.
The more Li Yuan observed, the more extraordinary the flying serpent seemed.
Impressive!
This was the most beautiful flying serpent Li Yuan had ever seen. Even the Flying Heaven Rank Sky Serpent Sovereign paled in comparison to this green serpent before him.
"The target lifeform has a life level of 29.9," Li Yuan declared as he directly employed the Palace Divine Investigation technique, his heart filled with surprise.
A second-rank peak lifeform right from birth?
Whoosh! The green serpent's spiritual eyes flickered, and it swiftly flew to Li Yuan's side.
Its enormous wings enveloped Li Yuan, as if embracing him, but with its head lowered, it also seemed to be lying in front of him.
"Master."
The green serpent gazed at Li Yuan, and once again, a young girl's voice, like a whisper, echoed in his mind, "I finally get to see you. Before, I could only sense your presence."
This was a soul communication.
"A female?" Li Yuan sensed something amiss.
But at the same time, as the green serpent drew closer, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity, as if he were facing his own child.
This was due to the bloodline contract.
Moreover, Li Yuan had nurtured her with his own blood and divine consciousness.
"Li Yuan."
Chou Bingzun slowly descended, a smile on his face as he witnessed the scene, "Congratulations, you succeeded."
"Little Bing, I finally get to see the day of your birth." Chou Bingzun also looked at the green serpent with emotion, sighing, "It's just a pity that my original body will never witness this moment."
"I won't forget Senior Chou," the green serpent whispered, her voice crisp and pleasant, carrying a hint of sorrow.
Li Yuan was taken aback by her words.
"Li Yuan, don't be surprised."
"The Sacred Blood Sky Serpents are incredibly powerful. Before they even hatch, they possess a rudimentary awareness, allowing them to perceive the outside world to some extent." Chou Bingzun explained with a smile, "For over twenty thousand years, Little Bing could sense many things happening in the outside world. During our escape, my original body often communicated with her. Of course, her awareness was very vague back then. It was only after her birth that her spiritual intelligence truly emerged."
"But she also has vague memories of her past experiences."
"You shouldn't treat her like a child."
"She possesses many inherited memories, and her understanding of various aspects is likely far beyond yours." Chou Bingzun stated.
Li Yuan's eyes widened, his heart filled with awe.
The Sacred Blood Sky Serpent, indeed, was one of the most powerful divine beasts in the divine realm, and it was truly remarkable.
"Your name is Little Bing?" Li Yuan asked, looking at the green serpent.
"Master, my real name is Liu Bing. I chose this name myself."
"Liu is the most honored surname in my Sky Serpent Clan."
"Bing is to commemorate 'Senior Chou Bingzun'. Without him, I wouldn't exist." The green serpent's spiritual eyes fixed on Li Yuan as she spoke earnestly, "If I were to reach the level of a True Deity one day, then, according to the customs of my Sky Serpent Clan, I can add the word 'Zun' to my name."
"Liu Bing Zun?" Li Yuan whispered.
He immediately understood that Chou Bingzun's real name was likely 'Chou Bing'.
