Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3998 Twelve Kinds of Inheritance

"Alive..."

Rossello repeated her whispers, her fingers lightly touching the massive stone tablet, her fingertips slowly tracing the engravings on it. Through the essence of astrology and the resonance of the transcendent realm, she clearly sensed the helplessness and deep regret of that artificial god at the moment of his demise.

A great will emerges from the depths of the universe, and supreme majesty descends upon Terra, determined to destroy the twelve blasphemous bodies. None of them will escape; their physical forms and wisdom will be destroyed—this is an inevitable end.

Having already possessed both physical form and wisdom, they are part of life. When faced with destruction, they naturally have the instinct to survive, each using their own means to try to reverse their fate and live on. Yannemer reconstructs her soul, and the wise ones leave behind the legacy of secret techniques.

Although He is about to perish, as long as there are still people using the astrology and celestial secrets He left behind, His glory and His meaning will still exist and live on.

Born into the alien race despised by the Demon Realm, Rossello previously had little influence or voice in the Demon Realm. After becoming the leader of the Wuxuan faction, he went to Monica's ancient library to brush up on his knowledge at Ye Lin's request. While reading those books, Rossello had some special thoughts.

Why are some people willing to endure pain and even sacrifice their lives to leave their mark on history? Why are there so many professions and secret arts in the Demon Realm? What are the reasons that those who created these secret arts shared their knowledge with others? Moreover, this phenomenon is not limited to the Demon Realm; it seems to be the same in the Arad Continent, the Celestial Realm, and the Divine Realm.

“Living, passing on the legacy…” Rossello repeated, having gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of its meaning.

Imagine if she were to die tomorrow, would she choose to take her abilities to the grave and let them decay, or leave them behind and pass them on... Even if no one knows her name after many years, as long as her legacy remains and people use her secrets and her knowledge, then she still exists, and she lives on in another sense.

Leaving a legacy is how that artificial god survived the war of gods—a way of living on in another sense.

Ye Lin nodded and said:

"This is the meaning of inheritance. However, the world is vast and there are billions of living beings. Only a few can leave behind their inheritance. Some knowledge that we can learn everywhere now may have been a dazzling sun that amazed the world in that era."

"It is precisely because inheritance is difficult to preserve that the instinct of life has another way of continuing and passing on the legacy...by procreation."

After Rossello memorized the starry sky secrets and stone carvings, Ye Lin waved his hand and put away the huge stone tablet. There were no more resources underground in the Coretkill Mountains. Rossello had also taken away the meteorites that had fallen due to the meteor shower. He should be able to extract a lot of rare and valuable metals from them.

The two took one last look at the underground, which was steeped in history, and returned to Mount Koretkil. History, after all, belongs to the past.

The Demon Moon, Delarion, unique to the Demon Realm, hangs high in the sky, its radiance eerie, its silvery white tinged with a hint of dark red. It is the only companion of the Demon Realm, which has endured countless hardships and tribulations.

The wicked Hilder would sometimes stare blankly at the Demon Moon, lost in thought. Compared to Terra, many things in the Demon Realm had changed, like turning over the soil again and again during farming. This native sometimes couldn't even remember what certain places used to be like, but the Demon Moon seemed to have never changed.

Imi used puppet strings to seal off the entire Kreitkil Mountain. The tangible barrier was like an inverted dome, isolating the sky from the ground. The mutated giant from Greenbrad possessed earth-attribute abilities and could move freely beneath the earth, so setting up a sealing barrier was very necessary.

She had driven the mutated giant out of the underground, forcing it back to the surface and compelling it to reveal its full form.

The giant's massive body, over a hundred meters tall, was covered in black nightmares and was constantly writhing, devouring light, and exuding an indescribable hunger. Wherever it passed, darkness enveloped everything, making it look like a pure humanoid darkness.

A mutated giant from the power planet Greenbrad, it can create violent sonic booms with a punch, and its stomp can crack mountains. It devours all light in its path, as if it is corroding the entire existing material world.

Yuzhen and Liufeng unleashed their full power, unleashing a storm that soared upwards into a terrifying tornado. The howling wind emitted a fierce and destructive sound, and every wisp of wind attribute was as sharp as a knife, easily cleaving through solid rocks, revealing its destructive nature.

Two tornadoes, each containing the wind of destruction and the primordial wind, crashed into the giant. The tearing force ripped the giant's body apart, scattering its limbs and turning it into a large pile of rubble containing flesh and blood.

However, neither of them showed any sign of relief after winning, because this had happened twice before, with Yuena and Yusha shattering the giant's towering body respectively.

As expected, the heavens stirred, and a ray of light from the stars fell toward the Demon Realm. The power was extraordinary, ignoring the barrier set up by the witch Imi and falling toward the torn giant's body. The starlight attached to it and emitted scorching heat. Instantly, the broken arms and irregular pieces of flesh all turned into a thick black smoke, which gathered together in an unstoppable manner. The giant was reborn, like a pure dark aggregate.

"Does that mean it will never die as long as the stars are there?" Yuzhen had a very ominous thought during the battle, because even during the day the stars still existed, but the sun's brilliance was so great that it obscured the stars' seemingly dim radiance.

It seems that giants can be shattered countless times, but they cannot afford to make a single mistake. A punch filled with the power to devour light, if it happens to hit, will not only shatter the body into pieces, but also dim the light of the soul instantly, and whether it can return to the underworld is questionable.

The Greenbrad Giant's current predicament stems not only from its inherent strength but also from the Black Nightmare from its creator Luke, as well as the Starry Sky Mystic Art and blood of one of the twelve ancient artificial gods, granting it near-immortality.

boom!
Like a humanoid dark giant unleashing a sonic boom with a punch, tearing apart Yuzhen's hurricane, he then took long strides and ran, each step causing the earth to shake. Then, in an incredible leap, he soared into the sky, his murderous aura surging, and crashed into the other side of the gust of wind, shattering his hurricane.

The giant crashed to the ground, smashing a boulder on a mountain cliff. He then roared fiercely, grabbed a handful of pebbles, and hurled them, each one emitting a sharp shriek.

Yuzhen and Liufeng quickly manipulated the wind to dodge, secretly shocked. This mutated giant was almost on par with the leader of a major power.

The mountains of Koretkiel lit up with an earthy yellow light, stretching out in patches. Interlocking rock chains and towering wall pillars emerged from the earth, transforming into a giant cage that imprisoned heaven and earth. In an instant, the cage changed its target and locked onto Yue Na. After locking Yue Na in, the cage immediately contracted without any blind spots, and then with a "boom," it squeezed and collided, shaking up stone dust all over the sky.

Everything happened too fast for Yuzhen and Liufeng to react. They could only watch as Yuena was locked in the cage and squeezed. A large number of magical rocks collided with each other and were crushed into powder. Being inside it would turn even steel into dust.

"You old hag~ You look so pitiful." Yimi Wu cried out, covering her eyes as if she couldn't bear to look directly at her, but the corners of her mouth kept turning up.

"What are you shouting for? You want to eat at my feast? No way." Yue Na walked over from another direction, looking at Yi Mi Wu with considerable disdain. She was dressed cleanly, her hair was smooth, and she had an outstanding temperament, without a speck of dust on her face. "Tch~" Yi Mi Wu immediately stopped crying and instead showed a regretful expression.

"But why didn't you use your Holy Light Shield?"

This was different from the skill that the old woman had expected to use. Instead of activating the Holy Shield, she used some kind of spatial magic.

Yuena said calmly, "I used one of your substitute scarecrow dolls."

Immi immediately touched her body and found that one was missing. Moreover, it was one she had made herself, a very exquisite one. The dolls made by old hags were all strange and ugly.

"What a waste! It's a shame to give you those kinds of dolls."

Yuena was too lazy to continue arguing with Yimiwu. It seemed that because she was a light-attribute archangel, she was naturally favored by black nightmares. Therefore, the giants had an exceptionally strong desire to attack her, as if they felt that killing her would grant them powerful light energy.

"I'm angry, I'm flipping the table." Yuena raised her hands above her head, making a grasping gesture. Brilliant holy light surged from her body, and then, starting from her hands, it swiftly traced a sacred golden trajectory in the air, transforming from formless to tangible. A huge golden cross took shape in the air, radiating incomparably sacred and dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire Staten Island area and turning the night as bright as day.

boom!
The massive cross began to tilt, and in an instant, a thunderous explosion erupted, like a corner of the sky filled with golden sun crashing down on the mutated giant. The immense force, like the collapse of the heavens, drew a trajectory in the air, with lightning raging.

"Repent!"

The mutated giant's body tried to transform into a thick shadow again to avoid the terrifying blow. He had a terrible premonition that if he were hit, he would pay a huge price. However, that ability suddenly and mysteriously failed, and he could not transform into shadow... He could only watch helplessly as the cross pressed down, stirring up a gale, and smashing him into even smaller pieces. The lightning leaping on the cross evaporated the attached black nightmare in an instant, revealing the giant's original flesh and blood. A mountain peak was also smashed and flattened in the process.

This attack was enhanced by the guaranteed hit of the Holy Lance Brionak.

"How terrifying." Liu Feng took a deep breath, feeling as if there was still a burning sensation in the air, and a large amount of light lingered around Mount Koretkiel.

The stars in the sky stirred once more, scattering mysterious celestial light that clung to the giant's flesh and blood. He was not yet truly dead; the light transformed into needles and threads, stitching together every drop of the giant's blood.

Moreover, during this process, the blood left behind when the artificial god fell was absorbed by the giant, and its body underwent some kind of change, with a mysterious aura emerging and containing golden light.

"What is that?" Yuzhen looked up in surprise as he flew through the air. Suddenly, countless points of light appeared in the dark starry sky, which did not match the original trajectory of the stars. Moreover, those points of light were obviously becoming brighter and larger.

"Meteor shower."

Upon emerging from the ground, Rossello quickly explained that the giant, having fused with the blood of an artificial god, seemed to have unlocked a new ability, summoning a meteor shower. At a glance, there were thousands of increasingly closer points of light. Her superhuman vision allowed her to clearly distinguish them as meteors from the universe. The smallest of them was over a hundred meters in diameter, while the largest was half the size of the Demon Realm, burning with flames like the sun.

If such a terrifying meteor shower were to descend upon the Demon Realm, it would be a catastrophe for all eight regions. The leaders of the major powers have already noticed the sudden appearance of the meteor shower.

Ye Lin nodded, letting them deal with the giants, and then rushed out into the starry sky alone.

A blinding white light suddenly appeared deep in the starry sky, and when the light disappeared, the meteor shower's points of light also vanished.

As Yuena chanted the supreme holy incantation, a sacred and solemn aura permeated the air. A section of the holy incantation transformed into visible runes, which fell like snowflakes onto the giant's newly reconstructed body, seeping into it. Immediately, the giant's murderous and frenzied aura ceased abruptly, transforming into a still and tranquil state.

She cast an inquiring glance at Yuxia, "Do you want this giant? He's quite strong. If he's possessed by the Black Nightmare, he'll be a top-tier powerhouse in the Demon Realm. He can hold his own against the leaders of major powers. If you want him, you can use the Ring of Domination to manipulate him."

Moreover, this giant seems to have had his brain burned out, making him relatively easy to control.

Yu Xia shook her head slightly. No need. She had already embarked on her own path of transcendence, and her need for summoned beasts had been reduced to a minimum. In addition to the regular elemental spirit summons, she also had a massive number of Eclipse Insects, the ancient dark female warrior Ramos, and several helpers from her contract in the Underworld. That was more than enough.

The mutated giant was valuable, but it was dispensable to her. Besides, she had the most powerful summoned beast, one that was worth countless others... the god-level summoned beast Ye Lin, which could be classified as a beast.

"Give it to me, I'll give it to Smira." Ye Lin returned and put away the mutated giant. The second promise would definitely like such a summoned beast, which could provide extremely powerful assistance.

Looking at the devastated Koretkiel Mountain, Imi and the other demons were slightly dazed. The ancient legends of the gods' deaths were not entirely unfounded; they had some basis in reality and gradually evolved into the stories we know today.

Then, Yuena and the others learned the general outline of the story from Rossello. One of the twelve artificial gods of Ancient Terra crashed into this place when he was about to perish, turning into a large number of light particles, with only a little blood stained with his unwilling will.

Yu Xia asked curiously, "What are the abilities of the other eight of the twelve artificial gods?"

She was somewhat curious about this, but hadn't studied it in detail before.

Rossello looked thoughtfully at the Ring of Domination on Yusha's body and said:

"Perhaps in the eight directions of the demon realm and the divine realm, those powerful secret techniques and forbidden objects created by creators we didn't know before are rooted in the legacy left by the twelve artificial gods."
