I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 490: The Truth Behind Betraying Master and Ancestors—The Great Mission to Save the Nation!
Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Truth Behind Betraying Master and Ancestors—The Great Mission to Save the Nation!
Having spent an enormous amount of energy on alchemy, the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron’s size was visibly reduced by more than half.
It raised its non-existent head, gazing in the direction of “Chen Dongtian.”
“Chen Dongtian, I have kept our agreement and helped you successfully refine the Blood Elixir. Shouldn’t you also keep your promise and lift the suppression on me?”
The one speaking was the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron.
Just as everyone imagined, this Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron was not an ordinary alchemy furnace.
Its true identity is the Taotie, one of the Titan beasts!
A thousand years ago, the strong of Blue Star paid a heavy price to seal the remnants of this special Titan beast’s soul in the National Guardian Divine Cauldron, intending to completely destroy Taotie’s soul by destroying the cauldron.
Unexpectedly, the Chen Family, responsible for carrying out the cauldron’s destruction, deceived everyone and preserved the Titan beast.
Of course, the Chen Family did this with conditions.
Taotie exchanged its life for the price of eternal loyalty to the Chen Family.
Possessing the ability of Taotie to devour heaven and earth, the Chen Family, over a thousand years, absorbed many practitioners, using their bones and blood for alchemy to enhance the strength of the Chen Family members.
This method was feasible in the short term, but over time, the effectiveness of the Blood Elixir refined by Taotie gradually weakened.
As time went on, the Chen Family began to decline.
People from the Liouwu Group, through unknown means, learned the secret of the Chen Family possessing Taotie.
The cost of betraying the nation and slaughtering compatriots was intolerable for the Chen Family.
To survive, the Chen Family willingly became a vassal of the Liouwu Group, and Patriarch Chen Dongtian, with the support of vast resources from the Liouwu Group, achieved the name of War God.
With the indirect control of Taotie’s power, the Liouwu Group’s ambitions grew larger.
They were no longer content with the status quo and attempted to overthrow Xu Sheng, aiming to become Xia’s leading figure.
To accomplish this, they needed a strong enough means, so they set their sights on the long-lost Law artifact—Pangu’s Eye.
In the years of Liouwu Group’s prosperity, many practitioners from Xia vanished into thin air, and resources from many nations stealthily flowed into the Liouwu Group’s hands.
Xu Sheng saw all this and was anxious at heart.
Based on the clues, he deduced that all this was inextricably linked to the Liouwu Group, but as the head, he couldn’t decide the life and death of a group or family based on personal will.
Therefore, he had to seek Lin Yi’s help, letting Lin Yi uncover the truth of the matters.
While solving internal strife, Lin Yi was also to infiltrate the Beautiful Country as much as possible to tackle the external threats.
After successfully killing Chen Dongtian, Lin Yi used the Touch of Reincarnation to read all his memories.
Lin Yi never expected that supposedly united Xia was hiding such filth as the Liouwu Group.
If it weren’t for Xu Sheng’s constant vigilance over the years, Xia might have been destroyed by the Liouwu Group.
After successfully using the Touch of Reincarnation, Lin Yi turned Chen Dongtian into an undead creature absolutely loyal to him, placing him in the Undead Space to continue controlling the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron.
At the moment of Chen Dongtian’s realm collapse, Lin Yi used the Seventy-Two Transformations to make Lin You transform into Jamie, taking his place in the Beautiful Country, while he himself became Chen Dongtian, directing the progression of the story.
Destroying the Liouwu Group was a simple matter.
But getting the Beautiful Country to show its hand and take the bait Xu Sheng had laid out was not something that could be achieved by merely carrying a deceased Xia War God’s body to meet Bai Di.
Lin Yi’s act of betraying his mentor and ancestors was considered a pledge of loyalty.
To completely earn the Beautiful Country’s trust, he had to help them acquire the Divine Artifact of Ocean’s power—Poseidon’s Trident.
Refining Qi Blood Elixirs from the blood of millions of practitioners was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Blue Star.
Such tremendous loss, aside from the Beautiful Country as the mastermind, who else should bear it?
Naturally Xia!
The nations of Blue Star won’t care whether Chen Dongtian betrayed Xia.
Since the move was made by Xia’s War God, the price must naturally be borne by Xia.
One must admit that the Beautiful Country’s plan was extremely sinister.
They exchanged verbal promises for Chen Dongtian dragging all of Xia into the water.
This cost, strong as Xia might be, was still unbearable.
To prevent Xia from standing against the nations of Blue Star and to reassure the Beautiful Country to proceed with the next plan, Lin Yi must personally make the Blood Elixir needed to unlock the hidden instance.
In the end, he succeeded.
Chen Dongtian stood in the sky, mockingly staring at the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron before him, causing the cauldron’s spine to chill.
“Chen Dongtian, you bound yourself, if you don’t keep your word, you will…”
Head sores and pus-discharging feet, a truly venomous fate?
A bond made with blood is sure to take effect.
The Chen Family exploited this, shackling Taotie and enslaving it for a millennium.
To fulfill the Liouwu Group’s grand plan, Chen Dongtian also swore a blood oath to grant Taotie its freedom after it refined the Blood Elixir.
But Taotie never expected that, all this time, being constrained by actions was an already deceased undead creature Chen Dongtian.
As for the venomous oath, if it falls on Chen Dongtian, so what?
Could an undead creature fear such things?
In the unwilling cries of the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron, Lin Yi, with a mere thought, controlled undead Chen Dongtian to absorb the cauldron into his body.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my mission is complete.”
“Today, let us use this Blood Elixir to knock open the doors to the hidden instance!”
The enormous Blood Elixir, containing boundless energy, soared towards the exit of the welfare zone.
The exit of the welfare zone, restricted by the rules of the instance, was a one-way passage, allowing exit only, not entry.
Yet under the irradiation of powerful energy, the rules of the instance were forcibly broken.
Subsequently, intense tremors swept across the entire instance.
The original three parts of the instance instantaneously began to collapse, sinking…
Following that, an overwhelming sea of water rushed in from all directions, completely submerging everything that was once there.
Staring at the drastically changed instance, several War Gods from the Beautiful Country burst into laughter.
The plan plotted for hundreds of years finally saw the hope of completion.
The practitioners not devoured by the Heaven-Burning Demon Cauldron all had the ability to fly.
Everyone hovered above the sea, witnessing the majestic waves turbulently surging.
While everyone was puzzled about how to enter the hidden instance, the vast ocean suddenly calmed.
In the center of the sea, dazzling light began to shimmer.
An invisible force divided the entire ocean into two, and then, a colossal and enchantingly graceful figure slowly emerged from the ocean’s crevice.
She was indescribably beautiful, a beauty that one dared not gaze upon directly.
