Infinite Chimera Creation

With this thought swirling in his mind, Bai Ye shook his head and said,

"She was just a stranger I met on my travels, there was no need to bring her to the tribe."

Bai Ye naturally did not want to return to his clan to see Gu Luo. If he were alone, even if he faced Zhu Bi and Bai Lu at the same time, along with dozens of demons, Bai Ye was confident that he could break through.

But things are different now. He has Soyog by his side. Although Soyog is not weak, his combat experience is pitifully small. He is even less intelligent than those monsters. In a real fight, he probably can't even use two-tenths of his strength.

The moth's wings fluttered slightly, sprinkling a few scales onto Soyog. Then, in a very soft voice, Bai Ye spoke.

"As long as I have these scales, I will be able to find you again. Believe me, I will come to find you soon."

After speaking, Bai Ye did not linger and walked towards Zhu Bi and the others.

Zhu Bi didn't care whether Bai Ye had made any underhanded moves. After all, they had only come to invite Bai Ye and had no intention of threatening him. Naturally, they didn't expect Bai Ye to be so wary of them.

Chapter 129 Treason

"Junior, is there anything about that kid that you should be paying attention to? You're keeping a close eye on him."

Blanche gently closed the thick book in her hand, whose contents were obscure and difficult to understand, but which Yuan Yuan called "basic reading material." She looked at Yuan Yuan with a puzzled expression and asked.

Blanche couldn't understand why Yuan Yuan was fixated on that monster named Bai Ye. Even if the monster's soul was somewhat special, it shouldn't be worth his attention.

Watching the interaction between Zhu Bi and Bai Ye across the white gap, Yuan Yuan's lips curled slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the scene before him, and he replied...

"I think I explained to my senior before why I killed Voldemort and Dumbledore."

Blanche nodded. Yuan Yuan's words back then were plain and simple, but because of their deaths, they were deeply etched in her memory. Now that Yuan Yuan brought them up again, she immediately remembered them.

“You said that because both of them, including me, have something called magic runes in their bodies. This thing is rare, but it is very important to you, so even though they are your acquaintances, you want to kill them and take this thing.”

At this point, Blanche roughly understood what had happened and asked in surprise,

"This guy named Bai Ye also has magic runes in his body?"

Yuan Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"Not yet, but it will be soon."

Long ago, Yuan Yuan was trying to create magic runes, or more precisely, to induce the world to nurture magic runes within the bodies of unique individuals.

At that time, four experimental subjects showed incomplete magic rune reactions, which Yuan Yuan judged to be highly likely to develop magic runes.

Among these four test subjects, Bai Ye had the strongest reaction and the most fragments of his runes. Only his runes were able to be roughly deciphered.

At that time, the researchers under Yuan Yuan read information such as "treason" and "rebellion" from the fragments of Bai Ye's magic runes, and predicted that Bai Ye would completely condense the magic runes in 36 days at most.

However, the researchers' predictions failed. Not to mention thirty-six days have passed, even now, Bai Ye's magic runes have not truly taken shape, and haven't even grown much.

The reason Yuan Yuan paid so much attention to Bai Ye was that the fragment of the magic rune that had stopped growing had started to grow rapidly again.

When Gu Luo exposed Bai Ye's identity and Bai Ye fled in panic, this magic rune fragment grew rapidly. It was at that time that Yuan Yuan began to pay attention to him, looking forward to his growth once again, or rather, looking forward to the growth of the magic rune in his body.

Afterwards, Bai Ye did not disappoint Yuan Yuan. Although the increase was small, the amplitude of his magic rune reaction was indeed increasing every day.

Furthermore, after encountering Zhu Bi and parting ways with Soyog due to Zhu Bi's invitation, his magic rune fragments increased dramatically again, with the increase even exceeding that of the previous year.

Seeing this change, Yuan Yuan was naturally delighted. Hongye's experiment with magical runes had proven that, with proper manipulation, existing magical runes could be transferred to other life forms.

If Bai Ye truly develops magical runes, it will prove that magical runes can indeed be created out of thin air, which is of great significance.

After explaining to Blanche, Yuan Yuan stared at Bai Ye for a while longer before creating a crystal that could simulate the world's consciousness vision. He then handed it to Blanche, asking her to keep an eye on things for him, before turning around and going to the laboratory to conduct experiments.

After receiving the crystal from Yuan Yuan, Blanche subconsciously glanced at Yuan Yuan with the crystal and was surprised to find that Yuan Yuan's body actually had multiple magic runes.

[Main Character] [Reincarnation] [Harvest] [Arrogance] [Firmness] [Strong Luck]

Subconsciously, Blanche read aloud the meanings of the six runes she saw.

Reincarnation and Harvest were the powers that Voldemort and Dumbledore once held, so Blanche could naturally guess that the two slightly dim runes came from them.

Then there's the [Protagonist], whose rune looks even dimmer than [Reincarnation] and [Harvest], suggesting that Yuan Yuan may have taken it from another life form.

However, the three runes [Strong Luck], [Arrogance], and [Steadfastness] radiate a completely different and intense light from the previous three, giving people the feeling that "it is alive".

"So, these three runes originally belonged to you, junior?"

Having reached a slightly frightening conclusion, Blanche shook her head, no longer considering the issue, and instead began to seriously monitor the White Night across the White Gap.

Unaware that she was being monitored, Bai Ye was following Zhu Bi towards the monster's lair, constantly plotting her escape.

[We've been gone for a while now, and Soyog should be far away. If I suddenly run away now, I won't have to worry about Zhu Bi catching her. Those ordinary monsters are nothing to worry about. Zhu Bi will definitely slack off and not try her best to intercept me. If Zhu Bi doesn't go all out, Bai Lu will probably be too lazy to even make a move. I'm sure I can escape.]

[Wait a minute, judging from Zhu Bi's previous actions, he clearly knew my exact location and brought his men directly to find me. If they really have a way to detect my location, then even if I escape, it's useless; I'll definitely be found again very quickly.]

[So, should I go back with them first, find a way to protect myself in front of Guluo, then secretly find out who located me, kill them, and then escape? But what if the person who located me is Guluo? I definitely can't kill him alone; his survival skills are too strong.]

[Damn it! All I want is to be with the girl I like, why are they forcing me?!]

Various thoughts churned in Bai Ye's mind, and a hint of hatred unconsciously appeared in his eyes. His already ferocious face became even more grotesque.

[By the way, I remember in the story, when the elves first appeared before the world, they destroyed their settlement, Tokyo, to establish their authority. The reason the elves chose Tokyo was because the Elven Queen randomly drew Tokyo in a lottery.]

[If I could meet the Elf Queen and persuade her to change our primary target from Tokyo to the monster's lair, perhaps I could use this opportunity to cripple the monster race and save them from further trouble.]

No, crippling them isn't enough. That way, the remnants might still find me. Besides, the souls of those ordinary monsters may already be infested with thorns by Guro.

In other words, if I want to live a peaceful and happy life with Soyog, I must completely exterminate the demon race, leaving no one alive.

[But is this really okay? Although I don't want to admit it, I am now a complete monster. Wouldn't it be too much to destroy my own race...?]

No! All of this is for a better life. What's wrong with letting those who try to interfere with my happy life die!

As the dark thoughts in Bai Ye's heart grew wildly, under Blanche's gaze, the fragments of magic runes in his body also grew rapidly, and at the same time began to emit a faint light.

Chapter 130 Falsehood and Sorrow

Welcome back.

Looking at Guro, who stood in the jungle with open arms to welcome him, Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said in a deep voice,

"I am back."

After a brief exchange, the two stared at each other in silence, neither speaking again.

Sensing the subtle tension between the two, Zhu Bi yawned widely, said nothing, and turned to leave with Bai Lu. Their mission was simply to bring Bai Ye back; what to do with him afterward, how to persuade him to stay, was Gu Luo's business. He had no interest in such troublesome matters.

Some time passed after Zhu Bi and the others left before Gu Luo spoke first.

"When I first learned that you were a time traveler, I was so surprised that I couldn't control my emotions and did some slightly excessive things, which may have caused you to misunderstand. I think it's necessary for me to explain to you."

Upon hearing Gu Luo's words, Bai Ye's eyes flickered again, but he did not interrupt him and listened quietly.

"I must state that I do not care about your identity as a transmigrator, because you did not take over [Bai Ye]'s body halfway through, but were already [Bai Ye] when you first came into contact with me, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Guro's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice,

"The person I've always trusted, relied on, and protected as family has always been you. So, I don't care whether you're a time traveler or not; all I need to know is that you're my family."

Bai Ye tilted his head, his large, blood-red eyes, devoid of any discernible emotion, staring directly at Gu Luo, and asked bluntly,

"Don't you suspect that I approached you with some ulterior motive? After all, I can see the future."

"You are my family, I believe in you."

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Luo looked directly into Bai Ye's eyes, his tone firm.

Hearing Gu Luo's words, Bai Ye let out a long sigh, as if giving up on something. He suddenly lay down, kicking up a cloud of dust, and said helplessly,

"Guro, you're incredibly cunning. Since you've put it that way, what choice do I have but to reciprocate your trust with my own?"

Seeing Bai Ye's reaction, Gu Luo smiled with satisfaction. Then, disregarding the size difference between his humanoid body and Bai Ye's Gastrea body, he walked over and gently sat down beside him, leaning against his stomach.

“Back when I was just an ordinary old tree, you used to lean on me like this all the time. I never imagined that now I would be the one leaning on you. It’s such an interesting experience.”

Bai Ye's blood-red eyes darted around, glancing at Gu Luo, before he said with a hint of emotion,

"Yes, it's been a long time since we've spent time like this together. I really miss it."

After saying that, Bai Ye said, seemingly casually,

"Speaking of which, I've encountered quite a few interesting things while I'm out and about. I'm even planning to go out and have some fun again soon. Guro, do you want to come along?"

Leaning against Bai Ye, Gu Luo didn't open his eyes and calmly replied.

“I’d like to go out and have some fun with you too, but things are too tense lately. For some reason, the chimeras have become quite strange, so I have to stay in the clan. Bai Ye, you should also focus on your work and stop going out to play all the time. Stay here and help me.”

A flash of ferocity crossed his eyes, but Bai Ye's voice remained unchanged, leisurely and lazy as he spoke.

"Alright, although I was human in my past life, my race in this life is indeed a demon, so it's time for me to make some contribution to my race."

After they finished speaking, neither of them spoke again, as if they had fallen asleep. Because of Guro's special nature, there was not even the chirping of insects in the entire forest. It was as quiet as a graveyard, with an atmosphere that was both warm and eerie.

After a long pause, Gu Luo stood up, looked at Bai Ye who seemed to still be asleep, and said gently,

"I have other things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now. Bai Ye, you can find a place to stay wherever you like later."

Bai Ye didn't open his eyes, but let out a muffled hum through his nose. Seeing Bai Ye's reaction, Gu Luo smiled, turned around and walked into the depths of the forest, his figure quickly disappearing behind the dense trees.

Some time after Gu Luo left, Bai Ye opened his eyes, stood up, shook his body vigorously to shake off all the fallen leaves clinging to him, snorted coldly, and wandered aimlessly in one direction.

[Hmph, they talk a good game, saying they treat me like family, but they still won't let me go. Do they really think I'm an idiot? They even said the chimeras act strangely. If those brainless things really did something strange, do you think I wouldn't know? Trying to fool me? How laughable.]

[If you're interested in what I know, just say so. I might think more highly of you. Instead, you try to play the emotional card with me. I never expected someone who calls himself a sage to be so incompetent. It's truly disappointing.]

"You think you can stop me from leaving? Gu Luo, you underestimate me, Bai Ye. I'm a transmigrator; how could I be defeated by such a petty trick?"

With a cold sneer in his heart, Bai Ye casually found a small hill, used a few spiritual energy blasts to open a cave in it, and then crawled inside, climbing down as if he were going to sleep.

As Bai Yezi lay prone, a glint of light flickered in his eyes, and a soul, roughly the size of three people and bound by chains, appeared before him.

Unlike the souls bound by chains in the past, this soul's eyes were neither bloodthirsty nor dull; they were clear and bright, as if they possessed sufficient reason and wisdom.

With the scales I had before, I can easily find Soyog. Using Soyog as a lead, and with a little effort, it won't be difficult for me to establish a connection with the Elf Queen. Then, using what I know, persuading the Elf Queen to attack the Monster's Nest won't be hard.

"Guro, didn't you value those monsters and treat them like your family? I'd like to see if you'll still have the heart to imprison me after all the monsters have been slaughtered."

A cold laugh escaped his lips, and a cruel and sinister light flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

The tiny soul standing before Bai Ye had the same cruel and cold light shining in its eyes as he did.

Slowly closing his eyes, Bai Ye focused all his energy on the little soul and, with a slight movement of his consciousness, controlled the soul to rush outwards.

After emerging from the cave, the little soul did not linger. It took a few steps to soar into the sky and rushed quickly into the distance.
