391: The girl disappears

The instant Nv Xi's fresh blood dripped onto the base of the divine statue, the entire temple vibrated violently.

Ancient stone walls revealed dense runes, emitting dazzling five-colored light.

“Nv Xi! Stop!”

Ye Xuan struggled, wanting to stop her, but the ice had spread to his neck, immobilizing him.

This was the first time Ye Xuan had felt so powerless.

“No, Tai Hao Brother, all of this is my heartfelt wish. I am willing to do this, but Tai Hao Brother, Nv Xi also asks you to take good care of yourself and the tribe in the future.”

The five-colored divine light flickered, and Nv Xi's body instantly erupted with brilliant radiance.

Within the great hall, the eyes of the lofty divine statue slowly opened, and an ethereal voice echoed through the hall.

“Nv Xi, have you decided?”

Nv Xi nodded without hesitation.

“I am certain.”

“Once the Legacy begins, you will forever lose your Nü Wa Bloodline and become a Mortal. All of your Bloodline will disappear.”

“I am willing.”

“You will bear the Human Race's Karma, never to be free for all eternity.”

Nv Xi looked at Ye Xuan, who was about to be completely frozen, and tears silently streamed down her face.

“As long as it can save Tai Hao Brother, I am willing to do anything. Moreover, I know that once my Bloodline is given to Tai Hao Brother, he will take my place in leading the Human Race to resurgence. I am willing.”

Upon hearing this, the divine statue fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

“What a foolish child.”

A dazzling five-colored pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping both Nv Xi and Ye Xuan.

Nv Xi's body began to turn transparent, and countless specks of light flew out from her body, merging into Ye Xuan's body.

“No… Nv Xi…”

Ye Xuan's eyes were about to split open from rage, but he could only watch everything unfold.

He could do nothing himself.

Nv Xi's figure became fainter and fainter, but she revealed a relieved smile.

“Tai Hao Brother, from now on, you are the inheritor of the Bloodline.”

“You must protect the Human Race for me, and also protect yourself. I will forever watch over you and look upon you.”

After speaking her last words, her body completely transformed into specks of light, all merging into Ye Xuan's body.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

An unprecedented power erupted within Ye Xuan's body! The power of Cold Marrow was completely tamed, perfectly integrating with his Bloodline.

The ice crystals on his body instantly melted, replaced by a faint layer of five-colored glow.

When all the glow disappeared, Ye Xuan's strength had completely transformed.

His physical body became even stronger, and his spiritual power was extremely vigorous.

That powerful force erupted at this moment.

Ye Xuan could feel that his current power was comparable to that of a Heavenly Emperor in later generations.

This was the effect of the Bloodline's blessing.

The divine statue's voice sounded again.

“Tai Hao, from today onwards, you shall replace Nv Xi in protecting the Human Race and fulfilling your destiny.”

“I know, but what about Nv Xi? I don't believe she just disappeared like that.”

Ye Xuan asked anxiously.

Perhaps having inherited Tai Hao's memories and emotions, Ye Xuan was heartbroken by Nv Xi's disappearance at this moment.

The surging sorrow almost engulfed him.

If he hadn't retained some rationality,

he probably would have collapsed long ago.

Ye Xuan's hands trembled.

He could feel the new power flowing within him, but the price of this power was truly too great.

“Nv Xi exists in another way. After the Human Race prospers, she may be found again. The Human Race will flourish. When the Kongtong Seal appears in the world, Nv Xi will return to the Mortal realm.”

The divine statue spoke once more.

Kongtong Seal!

Ye Xuan heard a familiar name. That's right, Yue Xuan was related to the Kongtong Seal, and Nv Xi and Yue Xuan looked exactly alike.

Although the events of the ancient era were shrouded in mist, Ye Xuan now had a clue.

Yue Xuan must be related to Nü Wa.

It was even very likely that she was Nv Xi.

And this illusion was to tell him everything about the ancient era.

“Don't forget your mission.”

The divine statue's voice slowly faded away, and then at that moment, the divine statue quietly shattered, as if it had suddenly weathered for countless years.

Ye Xuan's heart was filled with sorrow.

He wanted to say something, and he wanted to do something.

But the next moment, he lost consciousness.

When Ye Xuan woke up again, he was still in the Nü Wa Temple.

Only this time, the powerful force within him told him that he was no longer Tai Hao; he had returned.

“Husband, you were crying just now. Did you see something in the illusion?”

Tang Linglong and Fire Linger asked in unison.

They were both very worried about Ye Xuan.

“I…”

Ye Xuan opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say a single word.

He wanted to tell the story of his time in the illusion.

But in the end, he couldn't speak, as if something was restricting him.

“Quickly tell me, what happened next?”

Ye Xuan turned to look at the old woman.

Since she was guarding the Nü Wa Temple and had made him experience the illusion,

that meant she must know what happened next.

He desperately wanted to know what happened to Nv Xi, as well as that tribe, and what became of the Heavenly Realm where Zixiao was.

“If you want to know these things, you must pay a price in exchange. Are you willing?”

The old woman suddenly smiled as she looked at Ye Xuan.

Her face was covered in wrinkles, and her smile was surprisingly frightening. The furrows on her face were like those of a hungry ghost, enough to stop a child from crying at night.

However, Ye Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest.

“Yes, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I am willing to give it.”

Ye Xuan answered without hesitation.

“Alas… foolish child!”

The old woman sighed softly.

Ye Xuan, however, found this phrase somewhat familiar.

As if he had heard it somewhere before.

But he didn't care anymore.

“Very well, you can continue to observe everything in the illusion and uncover the truth. However, the moment you enter, the price has already been paid.”

“I hope you won't regret today in the future. Go.”

The old woman said, and within the temple, a portal of light opened once more.

This portal shimmered with five-colored light. Ye Xuan recognized it; this was the power of the Nü Wa Bloodline.

“Husband, you…”

Tang Linglong and Fire Linger saw Ye Xuan's appearance and wanted to persuade him.

Although they were temporarily safe now, Night Wu Shang was still around.

This was definitely not the time to be immersed in an illusion.

But looking at Ye Xuan's serious expression, they knew that when Ye Xuan was determined about something,

he would never go back on his word, even if the sky fell and the earth crumbled.

They could only sigh helplessly.

“My wives, don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. It's just that if I don't figure out Yue Xuan's background, I won't be at peace.”

“Moreover, in the illusion, there seem to be things related to me. I must figure them out.”

Ye Xuan said firmly.

After all, from Nv Xi to Feng Lixi and then to Yue Xuan, there must have been a process.

And he was also very concerned about the matters of the Heavenly Realm.
