Chapter 477 Return to the Ancestral Land
The yellow will-o'-the-wisp that recovered once again not only returned to its peak, but also had a glimmer of potential for advancement.
At this time, it slowly solidified in the eye sockets of the skull, and finally, part of the yellow began to turn green. And the body of the will-o'-the-wisp took root in the eye sockets of the broken skull, as if it had merged with it and could no longer be separated.
A strange feeling came from the skull into the body of the will-o'-the-wisp, "Fire, gold."
It suddenly found itself having a strange feeling it had never had before.
The body of the will-o'-the-wisp began to develop a sense of life.
"Who am I? Why am I here?" It didn't know where this strange consciousness came from, but it instinctively knew how to think.
"This is, fire element..." A trace of fire energy burst out from the eye sockets of the skull, instantly drying up the nearby swamp.
It is actually purer and more powerful than its will-o'-the-wisp power.
But in doing so, its location was also exposed. The rich vitality of the incomplete skull overflowed from the mud and was stared at closely by a pair of green eyes.
The skull was actually a broken skull!
The green eyes quickly rushed towards the broken skull. Suddenly, the broken skull turned around, and in the single eye socket, a ball of green ghost fire was burning, as if mocking it.
No! The skull is its! It must be its!
Then, a strange skeleton with a body that was not only that of a dog but also of a wolf, but a head that was a bird skull, a pair of green ghost fires suddenly rushed towards the human skull fiercely from the eye sockets of the bird skull.
Its purpose was not to absorb the newly advanced green ghost fire, but to snatch the incomplete human skull.
The moment it approached the mutilated human skull, an explosive fire energy invaded its entire body.
The "crack, crack, crack" sound comes from the beak of the bird's skull, similar to the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
Its bones and limbs were twitching desperately to dodge. It had a premonition that if it was hit by this fire energy, it would not be able to escape the fate of being devoured.
I didn't expect that this incomplete skull had been fused. It seems that I can only look for other bones.
However, the incomplete skull did not give up. The green level will-o'-the-wisp was full of will-o'-the-wisp power. Although it was not enough to upgrade itself, it was in line with its wishes.
At this moment, it seemed to have merged with the broken skull, moving the skull easily and chasing after the skeleton with a chicken head and a dog body at a very fast speed.
The green will-o'-the-wisp with a bird's head and a dog's body deserved it. The bird's skull and the dog's body were two different types and could not be fused. In addition, the power of its will-o'-the-wisp was far less rich and profound than the green will-o'-the-wisp in the incomplete skull, so it was quickly caught up.
Not only that, the bird-headed dog-body that had just been caught up was completely separated from its head by just one blow.
The green will-o'-the-wisp could only control a skeleton bird head to flee in front at this moment, and the broken skull fired another shot of fire energy rising into the sky from behind.
There was actually a crack in the bird's skull.
The green will-o'-the-wisp ball, which originally thought victory was in sight, was controlling the incomplete skull and was about to devour it. Suddenly, the green will-o'-the-wisp from one of the two eye sockets of the bird skull suddenly rushed towards the human skull.
This attack gathered half of its will-o'-the-wisp power, just to buy the other half of the will-o'-the-wisp living in the bird's skull time to escape.
Half of the green ghost fire was instantly burned into a wisp of energy by the fire energy and absorbed into the eye sockets when it hit the broken skull.
It was because of being dragged for such a moment that the bird skull escaped.
But it was not discouraged. After absorbing the green will-o'-the-wisp that separated from the bird's head, it flew towards the fallen canine bone body.
Bones are a treasure that can improve itself. But unfortunately, there is no energy in the canine bones.
The green ghost fire that had just been absorbed into the body did not increase its ghost fire power at all. Instead, it was absorbed by the skull, leaving nothing for it.
However, the incomplete skull that seemed unchanged had a slight change at this time.
A circle of bone grew out of the edge of the skull like hyperplasia. This layer of bone was smooth and although it was very thin, it was the same texture as the incomplete skull.
The green will-o'-the-wisp was naturally discovered.
But it was still a little unsure whether it was stuck to something or really had grown bones. It needed to devour more will-o'-the-wisp to confirm this.
There is no spring, summer, autumn or winter in the swamp, but new dead air will revive in the swamp every year. As the dead air revive, occasionally one or two new will-o'-the-wisp will emerge from the swamp.
The ignorant new will-o'-the-wisp was something it originally disdained to absorb. But to it, even a mosquito leg was still meat.
It not only absorbed the newly born will-o'-the-wisp, but also conducted a carpet search and killing of other will-o'-the-wisp near the swamp.
After it absorbed countless clusters of small will-o'-the-wisp and two balls of yellow will-o'-the-wisp, it was finally confirmed that its incomplete human skull was indeed slowly restored after it absorbed other of its kind.
The bones on the edges grew little by little, and at first they looked like a thin wing. Later, it absorbed more ghost fire. At this moment, the broken skull had become half a skeleton, which was much more than the original one-third.
Even when it was practicing and absorbing, the ghost fire controlled that half of the tooth, making some sounds that were strange yet familiar to it from the depths of its soul.
"Crack...living...fire...sparks..."
The last word "flower" came out of the skull in a blur, as if it shook the green will-o'-the-wisp body. The dense and explosive fire energy flew out of the vortex and burned around the skull, merging with its will-o'-the-wisp fire and smoke.
After a while, the skull, which had been hiding in the swamp for years due to rolling around, now appeared as white as jade with a hint of jade's dull luster after the smoke from the fire faded away.
The green will-o'-the-wisp connected to the eye socket flickered like an emerald. This will-o'-the-wisp seemed to emit a ray of wisdom.
"Flower, what do I have to do with this word?"
The ghost fire flickered, and this half-skeleton seemed to have a hint of consciousness awakening.
If it wants to know its origin, it must absorb and devour more ghost fire. Once it has this goal, its desire for strength will be greater than before.
But those ghost fires, no matter how big or small, are now very afraid of it, so it would be difficult for it to devour them again.
Such a huge skull just lay motionless on the swamp surface. The green will-o'-the-wisp in the eye sockets shrank back into the depths of the eye sockets and hid.
This green will-o'-the-wisp was bright and beautiful, illuminating the entire area. However, the nearby will-o'-the-wisp seemed to be very afraid of it, and they all returned to their own safe havens and hid.
It seems that with its current strength, it can no longer find an opponent in this area. But these small ones cannot be wasted. It separated a piece of the crystal green will-o'-the-wisp in its eye socket, which is slightly smaller than a fingernail.
Not only that, it discovered that it could actually change the color level of the will-o'-the-wisp. As long as the level was lower than its own, it could become one.
At this moment, the green will-o'-the-wisp of fire it transformed into a yellow will-o'-the-wisp and began to wander in the area.
Its purpose now is "fishing".
As a result, the will-o'-the-wisp hiding under the swamps in this area suffered.
A wisp of yellow ghost fire was floating above the swamp, looking like it would go out at any time.
The will-o'-the-wisp fires, which have the survival instinct of the big fish eating the small fish and the strong preying on the weak, began to rush towards the
No matter how big or small they were, they were lured out one by one by its tricks.
The first time, it almost absorbed all the nearby will-o'-the-wisp. The second time, the third time...
The will-o'-the-wisp has no intelligence, only instinct, and in the end, everything is absorbed and devoured by it.
At this moment, the incomplete skull has grown to two-thirds, and only one-third is left to grow into a complete skull.
Not only that, as new bones slowly grew out of the skull, its will-o'-the-wisp body seemed to become more condensed, and traces of will-o'-the-wisp power seeped into the skull to form veins that connected and supplied each other.
But its green-level body has not changed at all.
There were no more will-o'-the-wisp here, so it set out again to the next swamp area, ready to look for other of its kind.
In the ancestral land of the Xing family of the ancient universe.
It took Xing Lie three years to recover his original body in the ancestral land from a wisp of broken consciousness. He also spent more than a year to consolidate his ability level to the god of war level.
In his mind, a woman died in front of him with her body broken and bloody. The heartache and the trembling of the soul made him feel like he couldn't breathe.
Who is this woman? What is his relationship with her? Why does he feel so heartbroken every time he thinks of this scene?
He took a deep breath and stood up. His long legs suddenly stopped when he stepped out of the condensation pool. He covered his chest, which was very painful.
It wasn't a physical pain, but a pain that came from the depths of his soul and consciousness, as if he had lost something very important to him, and the pain was unbearable.
"You're out of quarantine?"
Xing Feng went to the condensation pool as usual to check on Xing Lie. He saw that Xing Lie, who had been in seclusion, had woken up.
"Feng Zu, my heart hurts."
Xing Feng was stunned. "You..."
"I seem to have forgotten a very important person, but I can't remember it no matter how hard I try. Feng Zu, I...hiss!" Xing Lie covered his chest with his hands, his face covered with cold sweat. "Why, why is my soul consciousness missing? What happened?"
Xing Feng was also stunned.
Xing Lie's current situation seems to indicate that the eternal life contract was signed with his soul as the guide! In order to prevent Xing Lie from being implicated by her and to survive, the woman actually used her remaining soul to forcibly break the eternal life contract with A Lie.
Her soul was completely destroyed, and even if her body was still intact, her soul would quickly dissipate. Although her body looked intact, it was actually empty inside.
She is also a strong-willed and passionate woman. It is worth it for Xing Lie to have a relationship with her.
It's just that the Eternal Life Contract is a supplementary contract between a couple. If one of them is in trouble, the other will feel it. If one is between life and death, as long as the other is alive, the other can wait for rescue.
Unfortunately, in that situation back then, the woman was beyond help as soon as she came out of the locked space.
The Eternal Life Contract is to turn the part of your soul that controls lust into a string that pulls your lover together, with one end pulling you and the other pulling your lover.
If the connection is forcibly severed, that part of the soul will definitely remain in the other party's body. The forcible severance of the eternal life contract not only destroyed her soul, but also hurt Xing Lie's soul. The thread left on Hua Yang's side also dissipated with Hua Yang's death.
"How is it? Is there anything abnormal with your body?"
"There is only one scene in my mind, which is not clear. But, I... Feng Zu, why did I become like this?" Xing Lie touched the corner of his eyes, unaware that his face was covered with tears.
"Alas, if it is too painful, don't think about it. Forget it."
One month later, all the major families in the Ancient Universe received news that Xing Lie, the most gifted genius of the Xing family, was about to return to the Xing family mansion from the Xing family's ancestral land.
The head of the Xing family will also announce at the birthday banquet three months later that Xing Lie will be the next heir to the Xing family. The ceremony will be held together with the birthday banquet of the head of the Xing family.
For such a double happy event, the Xing family sent out wedding invitations widely, not only to every powerful family in the Ancient Universe, but also to every family in the Cloud Universe, Star Universe, and Original Universe.
However, the Cloud Universe and the Star Universe are far away, and even with the fastest spacecraft thrusters it is impossible to reach them within a month.
However, the main Xing family was powerful and had many branches. As for the main family alone, Xing Lie's half-brother was extremely uneasy when he learned that Xing Lie was about to return.
Xing Lan found his mother with a gloomy and feminine face. His mother earned her position after the head of the family Xing Ye threw himself into his arms after getting drunk.
Therefore, in the Xing family, whether it was him, the eldest son of the Xing family, or his mother, even the servants of the Xing family with powerful supernatural powers looked down on them.
His non-competitiveness was taken for granted by others. Only when he showed enough brotherly love and respect, would his father smile and show some love to him.
He had planned with his mother for many years, endured all his life, and finally forced Xing Lie into a space crack on the battlefield.
But no one expected that Xing Lie was so lucky that he managed to pass through the space crack and directly land on Earth.
He's not dead! He's not dead!
Not only is he not dead, he has now returned to his ancestral land, and it is said that he has advanced to become the youngest war god-level powerhouse in the Xing family.
He didn't even know that he had returned to his ancestral land to recuperate until he was about to return.
Too passive! If he were to come back and tell everything, not to mention the position of the head of the family, he and his mother would definitely be kicked out of the house by his cold and heartless father who had no feelings for him at all.
"Xing Lan, why are you back? Didn't your father ask you to be responsible for preparing his birthday banquet?"
A woman, with a plain appearance, but a voluptuous figure. She was wearing a tight and elegant dress that fitted her body. Although her face was not that prominent, her temperament did not look simple at all.
A maid who climbed into the bed of her drunken master, who was only a psychic at the peak of the Nebula level and not even qualified to be an inner disciple of the Xing family, had put in a lot of effort to develop such a delicate temperament over the years.
"Mother, Xing Lie is not dead. He is coming back!"
The woman frowned, panic flashed across her eyes, and then she became calm.
"No! Father has already spread the news that he will be named the heir on the day of his birthday party. I, we are done!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" She relaxed her brows, as if she had already thought of a solution the moment she heard the news. "Let's go, we'll go find your second uncle right away."
