Chapter 630: You're Too Filial
Chapter 630: You're Too Filial
"Here should be where the original Long was created back then." Qin Muye stood in the eastern suburbs of Shanggu Town. From the records in ancient texts and diaries, it seemed to be in this general area.
Unfortunately, there were no traces left.
No remains, no residual energy.
"Everything has been used up, with nothing left behind. That was to be expected."
Even if there were, they would have been cleared out or discovered by others long ago, and there was no way they could have remained until now.
"The All-World Protectors Organization must have also noticed this place. If I could find these things, how much more so for an organization with a complete lineage."
If anyone could claim to be the most orthodox, it would definitely be the All-World Protectors Organization, from the ancient Thirteen Bureaus to the Ge Wu Bureau, their lineage was pure and unbroken.
"It seems there really is no value here." Qin Muye hadn't deluded himself into thinking that anything would be left behind. The reason the All-World Protectors Organization abandoned monitoring this place was that everything of value had been taken, and it was pointless to waste resources here.
"However, if they knew that the Sun family had reconnected with the Original Long and the human ghosts, things might be different."
There was also some good news. Sun Zhen's parents were not human ghosts created from the Original Long's scales but were normal, living people. It was unclear what anomalies or ancient secrets they might possess.
At this point, the only proof of the Cat Star descendants was this ancient text. If they knew the true nature of this text, they would likely have submitted it for protection immediately.
"However, the fact that there are no human ghosts in Shanggu Town is quite strange."
He could understand the absence of human ghosts in other places, but as the predecessors of human ghosts, the defeated slaves should have wanted to escape their fate.
Qin Muye had no data, so he had no idea what these human ghosts were planning. But he suspected it was nothing good.
After wandering around for a while and finding nothing, Qin Muye felt a bit disappointed and slowly made his way back to Sun Zhen's house.
Sun Zhen had already returned, sitting on the sofa with a confused look on his face. He had forgotten about Qin Muye again, leading to memory issues, such as why he had come home and an important item he had forgotten to give to someone.
But he remembered the important things, like the Huang Liang Seal and the human ghosts.
"Kid, what are you thinking about?" Qin Muye asked.
"Damn, can't you block me from your mind? I've been thinking for so long and I can't remember what I forgot." Sun Zhen, now with his memory restored, felt helpless. This was clearly a problem.
"Can't do that. If I had that ability, I wouldn't be here." Qin Muye rolled his eyes. If he had the power to directly confront "The Lord's Era," he would have long fled and wouldn't be playing house with Sun Zhen.
"How did it go? Any discoveries?" Sun Zhen didn't argue but changed the subject to the most pressing matter.
"Somewhat, but not much. However, I did find out something about your situation. Your ancestors might have been very wealthy, extremely wealthy." Qin Muye's words made Sun Zhen quite excited.
"Are you saying there's a treasure trove hidden somewhere, one that we could dig up and spend for ten lifetimes?" Sun Zhen followed Qin Muye's lead.
"Something like that." Qin Muye thought for a moment. If they could use the identity of the Cat Star to infiltrate the All-World Protectors Organization, it wouldn't be just ten lifetimes, but a hundred lifetimes of wealth. He then briefly explained the ancient text and the content about Sun Zhen's ancestors.
After listening, Sun Zhen had a look of disbelief. His ancestors were indeed wealthy, but that was many years ago. Even if there was a treasure, he wouldn't dare to dig it up.
"So, apart from the fact that my ancestors were wealthy, there's no other good news?" Sun Zhen calmed down, especially after Qin Muye mentioned the Original Long and the human ghosts, which made him feel very uneasy.
"It's not all bad. At least your parents are human, isn't that good news?" Qin Muye suggested that he should be grateful, as it could be worse, with relatives suddenly turning out to be non-human.
"You're right, boss. Honestly, it's already great that my family has survived for so many generations without dying out." Sun Zhen's values were much more grounded than Qin Muye's.
The creation of the Original Long, to Sun Zhen, who was also human, was a heinous crime. Crafting a monster from countless people?
Of course, no matter how much he might feel, if the human ghosts were to harm him or his family, Sun Zhen would not hesitate to fight back. Why should he bear the consequences of his ancestors' wrongdoings when he had never enjoyed any of their benefits? Since he could remember, his family had never been wealthy; they had always relied on their own hard work, not the legacy of some distant ancestor. He would certainly not allow himself to be captured without a fight.
"You're too filial," Qin Muye said, half-laughing and half-crying. It was the first time he had met someone so fiercely independent.
"I haven't enjoyed any of the blessings of that Cat Star descendant. Why should I bear his debts? Being alive is my own accomplishment, not because of his protection," Sun Zhen said seriously.
If his ancestors had left a great treasure, Sun Zhen would have been the first to turn against the human ghosts and the Original Long. Unfortunately, there was no such treasure, so he had to act according to the law.
"But this way, all our leads are cut off. What should we do next? Just the two of us, it's not going to be easy to investigate this matter."
Sun Zhen knew his limits. Dealing with something as terrifying and ancient as this was no simple task.
"It's not impossible. We can find the First Emperor's infant soul first," Qin Muye said.
The main body had made some progress. The Dragon-Serpent God knew about the Original Long but refused to speak, even under severe punishment. He was a tough one.
So, to get a hold of him, they could only use the First Emperor's infant soul. Once they had it, they could further investigate the Original Long.
"???" Sun Zhen looked puzzled. Why was the First Emperor involved? He knew who the First Emperor was—the true unifier, not just a title.
"Wait, you were looking for the First Emperor's infant soul all along, which is why you were attracted by my post," Sun Zhen realized.
The descriptors he had used in his post were somewhat similar to the characteristics of certain emperors.
"Right. The First Emperor's infant soul is reincarnated somewhere, but I've been watching the Dragon Rise Land for over half a year, from the pigs on the wind to various second generations, and none of them were the one," Qin Muye said, a bit melancholic.
Sun Zhen knew Qin Muye's life was colorful, but he hadn't expected it to be so bizarre. And to think, there really was a Dragon Rise Land in this world.
"Hey, if we go to the Dragon Rise Land to start a rebellion, could it work?" Sun Zhen said, his mind wandering.
Qin Muye, hearing this, wanted to open his head and take a look.
"The dragon veins are in their hands. What good would it do to start a rebellion in the Dragon Rise Land?"
If starting a rebellion in the Dragon Rise Land could guarantee success, the All-World Protectors Organization would be useless. With the dragon veins in their control, they could easily shift the location, rendering any rebellion futile.
"Oh, that's unexpected," Sun Zhen admitted, realizing his vision was indeed small.
"Alright, pack up. We'll set out tomorrow to find the First Emperor's infant soul. With your identity, I'm sure we'll attract a lot of demons and monsters along the way," Qin Muye said, stroking his chin. He thought that placing the protagonist's aura on Sun Zhen might bring some unexpected benefits.
With Sun Zhen's background and identity, not having a protagonist's journey would be a waste.
However, the protagonist's aura was in the main body's hands, and if they wanted it, they would have to ask him.
This protagonist's aura was a synthetic creation, combining the good fortune of a certain Ritual God, data from the Summoning Spirit World, and various other elements. It was not Qin Muye's own Abyssal Favor protagonist's aura.
The Abyssal Favor was useful in the Endless Abyss but had little value outside it, as it was a negative force that was not compatible with most other worlds.
So, they would have to use the synthetic aura, which had been gathering dust in the main body's warehouse for years.
It was of no use to the main body, so it might as well be given to Qin Muye.
As for why it wasn't used on himself, Qin Muye, as an avatar, knew exactly what his creation was like. If he used it, he would have to face endless battles and constant humiliation, which would be very inconvenient.
