My Endless Life.

Chapter 128: Relic Beyond Special Grade

The origins of the royal family are no longer traceable.

It is said that they are the descendants of an ancient civilization who led the remaining humans to a safe zone to develop, thus providing the last refuge for humans.

The royal family is also different from most humans.

They are the only ethnic group with a surname.

Their surname is "Wang".

Ricker Wang is the real name of the deputy director of the Royal Capital Technology Department.

So if there really is something that Maru doesn't know, then it must be a royal secret.

This is certain.

But Malu didn't really care what secrets the royal family had. As a member of the Tanwu family, he only cared about one thing now.

"Minister Ricker, what exactly is this relic? Is it worth the trip for you and so many technicians?"

Maru has been studying this "special relic" for a long time, but has not been able to find anything out of it.

The curiosity of the Tanwu family almost drove him insane, and now that there was finally someone who knew the answer, Malu of course had to ask for clarification.

After hearing Maru's question, Ricker's excited expression subsided a little.

He turned to look at Maru and said to him:
"Since you have already found it, this matter will probably be announced to the upper-level Tanwu family soon, so I won't hide it from you."

As he spoke, he excitedly and carefully placed his hand on the white ball, stroking it gently and said:
"If the records are correct and you didn't bring the wrong thing, then this thing is the relic that surpasses the special-grade relic recorded in the ancient books... 'The Source of Life of All Things'."

"A relic that surpasses... a special-grade relic?"

Maru was a little surprised when he heard the name for the first time.

Aren’t special-grade relics usually at the top?
How come a relic that surpasses the special grade suddenly appeared?

While Maru was still frowning in thought, Ricker had already told him why the white ball was called that.

"Yes, a relic that surpasses the special-grade relic... because it can create life and any kind of relic! According to the records in the classics, it is the origin of all life and relics!"

Ricker opened his hands, his eyes wild.

But Malu felt that what he said was getting more and more outrageous.

The origin of all life... comes from a relic?
How is this possible?

Maru was somewhat suspicious as to whether Ricker had gone mad studying relics. After all, he heard through the grapevine that the technical department of the royal capital was now also trying to use 'humans' to make relics.

Even though I only heard...

Malu suspected Ricker, but Ricker no longer cared about him and asked his subordinates for a dagger.

"Minister Ricker, what are you doing..."

Maru frowned at Ricker.

Ricker explained: "There are conditions for activating this relic. One of the conditions is the blood of the royal family. If my blood can activate it, it proves that my guess is correct!"

"This is too dangerous..."

"I'll do it even if it's dangerous! If it really is the 'source of all life', then we're saved!"

Ricker ignored Malu's attempts to stop him and insisted on picking up the dagger and cutting it across his palm.

Bright blood spurted out and landed on the white ball in front of him.

Malu and his entourage stared at the white ball nervously for half a minute... one minute...

Three minutes passed and there was no movement from the white ball.

Ricker's blood-stained hands trembled even more violently, and Maru could see his expression change from excitement to disbelief and disappointment in an instant.

But Ricker soon calmed down and said in a slightly heavy tone:
"Maybe it's because I'm a collateral descendant and my bloodline isn't pure enough... It doesn't matter, we'll transport it back to the capital right now. I believe the royal family's direct descendants will definitely be able to activate it!"

He did not doubt the authenticity of the relic, but rather the purity of his own bloodline.

Although Malu could understand Ricker's feelings, he had to remind him at this time:

"Minister Ricker, there are still people from the Light Chasing Society in the city. If we transport them now, I'm afraid..."

"It is precisely because of the people from the Light Chasing Society that we have to send it to the capital! Otherwise, if this thing is obtained by the lunatics from the Light Chasing Society—"

Ricker had just finished speaking when the attendant beside him suddenly pointed at the ball and shouted:

"Bull! It...it seems to be moving!!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Ricker immediately gave up talking to Maru and looked up at the white ball.

The blood on the white ball disappeared without a trace.

The tiny gap above the sphere was also slowly opening to both sides.

The gap became bigger and bigger, and the sphere was divided into four petals, opening in four directions, and the things inside appeared in front of everyone.

It was a humanoid creature, it...or rather, she, was completely white, the same color as the material of the sphere.

The face looks like a human, and there is metal-carved hair on the head.

The upper body is similar to that of a human female, except that the skin is jade-white and the material looks similar to metal.

The most eye-catching part is the lower body.

The huge lower body, which looks like a spider's abdomen, is embedded in the sphere, and tubes connect the opening and closing parts of the sphere.

At the roundest part of the abdomen, two equally white metal hands were placed overlapping on the abdomen.

It's like a pregnant woman caressing her unborn child.

The true form of the 'Source of All Life' was revealed before everyone's eyes.

Ricker, who originally thought that his bloodline was not qualified, was about to shed tears when he saw this scene. Maru was staring at the special humanoid creature in the sphere, and was even more surprised.

Inside the 'Source of Life for All Things', there is actually a special being that resembles a human female!

Could it be that the so-called 'source of life' is...

Maru's gaze turned to the abdomen of the human figure. If his guess was correct, that should be the place where life and relics were "nurtured".

“Sure enough…Sure enough…! My guess was right…My guess—!”

Ricker stretched out his hand towards the humanoid relic in the white sphere, as if he didn't know where to put it.

Malu really wanted to persuade Ricker not to get too excited. After all, as long as it was a relic, a contract had to be signed before it could be used.

As we all know, it is difficult for people to sign contracts for special-grade relics.

But before Malu could persuade Ricker, he heard someone's footsteps at the door.

"Hey, Maru, it looks like you solved the 'puzzle'."

Maru turned around and saw Carol with long cherry pink hair walking out of the door and smiling at Maru.

……

Li Qi, who was leading the new explorers to explore the fog area, withdrew his gaze from the newcomers who were searching for materials in the ruins and looked at the pink-haired girl beside him.

"…If you stay with me, there is no point in the assessment."

"It's okay. With your ability, it won't be difficult for you to pass the heavy fog level test."

Carol sat on the branch and swung her feet.

Li Qi sighed slightly:

"You didn't understand what I meant. I wanted to say... I don't really like being with you."

"I understand, but it doesn't matter if you don't like it, as long as I like it."

Carol snorted, not caring about Li Qi's feelings at all.

Li Qi squinted his eyes and stared at Carol, then looked at the exploration team members below, and touched a ring on his left hand with his right hand.

This is Jinghua's relic, the 'Mirage Ring'.

In order to prevent Jinghua from escaping, Li Qi locked her in his room and took away her belongings.

To be safe, Li Qi even blocked the other person's energy.

In fact, according to normal practice, after Li Qi had figured out everything about the Zhuguang Society, he should have directly gotten rid of Jinghua.

But Li Qi was not sure whether what Jinghua said was true or false. Moreover, unlike his previous life, Li Qi's status in this life was not very high. If he killed someone rashly and was discovered, it would be a trouble.

And the corpse is not easy to deal with.

After considering the above, Li Qi spared Jinghua's life and let her stay in his house for the time being to help him with cleaning.

Jinghua's relic is in Li Qi's hands, and Li Qi can also use the Mirage Ring. Naturally, he can try to hide it from Carol and sneak out with the Mirage Ring.

But... Li Qi wasn't sure if Carol had any way to detect hallucinations.

After all, she has dealt with the Light Chasing Society many times, so perhaps they already have a way to break the illusion of mirror flowers.

It would be hard to explain if she found out that I had the Mirage Ring.

Forget it...

After looking at the new explorers below, Li Qi finally gave up the idea of ​​sneaking away.

Originally, he came to the foggy area this time intending to try out Jinghua's method of summoning monsters, but since Carol is here and he himself cannot get away, he might as well wait until next time.

Anyway, after the assessment, he will definitely come to the foggy area again.

Carol, who was swinging her legs, suddenly stopped and asked Li Qi:
"You little bastard, do you really hate me that much?"

"It's not that I hate you, I just don't want to build unnecessary relationships."

Li Qi answered calmly and told the real reason why he didn't want to contact Carol.

Carol rolled her eyes and said unhappily:
"What do you mean by unnecessary feelings? I'm wrong to care about you! If you weren't Chris's son, I wouldn't care about you!"

"You can ignore me."

"If you hadn't become a Tanwu family, I might not have appeared in front of you, but now..."

Carol glanced at Li Qi and snorted, "I have to protect your life, otherwise I won't be able to face Chris when we go to the foggy sea."

"I don't need protection, really."

"It's not up to you to decide whether you need it or not, little brat! If I say you need protection, then you need it!"

Carol said firmly.

Li Qi remained silent upon hearing this. His gaze stayed on Carol for a while, and in the end he said nothing.

Seeing that Li Qi remained silent and did not respond, Carol also shut up after saying a few more words.

There is no point in talking without a response, and Carol will not do boring things.

While the two were silent, the new exploration team below had completed their mission.

Compared with the last time when they encountered a mission midway, this time the exploration team completed the task of collecting materials very easily.

There is obviously a Ronnie here who is suspected to be the protagonist of the world, but nothing happened to him... This makes Li Qi wonder if the world is starting to target him again.

But no matter what, it’s best if nothing happens. No one wants to encounter difficult troubles every day.

Li Qi...that's what I originally thought.

When they returned to the safe zone, they found that Rubino City was covered by a white fog.
