Chapter 1906 - 593: Is It ’Eternal Life’ or ’Resurrection’?

Chapter 1906: Chapter 593: Is It ’Eternal Life’ or ’Resurrection’?

She even considered many common methods, such as providing hostages, taking poison, being brainwashed, and so on.

Her decision at that time was also based on this foundation, ready to fully become a part of the Church.

The fact that the Church actually had such means instead gave her a sense of relief.

Yes, only this way can there be a chance to survive among the Three Great Civilizations, or even compete with them!

Thinking about this, Ellie unknowingly arrived at the underground Teleportation Gate, crossed the Space, and suddenly her vision expanded.

Outside the spacious plaza suspended in mid-air, numerous high-tech buildings are nestled among the giant tree forest, together surrounding the soaring central tower, supporting the cave ceiling above that is covered by a multitude of glowing plants.

Even though she had already seen the headquarters of the Church once, Ellie still couldn’t help but pause at the sight of this Underground City.

This kind of power, even that planet-altering Fan Mao in the Starry Sky, might not be any greater than this...

But she was not here to admire the scenery this time.

After the last mission, plus the contributions she had accumulated using the planet itself over these few days, she had obtained the promotion permission to the Fifth Tier!

It is said that promotions above the Fifth Tier are generally overseen by the Pope of the Church, that Vlad, but if lucky, the blessing might be personally given by the Lord of Red Moon.

This promotion might give her the chance to witness the true appearance of the Lord of Red Moon!

Stepping based on her experience from the last visit, she came to the edge of the high platform and took a step, the scarlet Magic Power behind her transformed into bat wings, heading towards the central tower.

Upon entering the tower, a naturally occurring voice in her mind guided Ellie to the outside of a room. Through the not entirely sealed door, she could hear the discussion of two female voices inside.

"...No choice, I can’t refuse, after all, it’s the Emperor’s order..."

The Emperor’s order...

Ellie caught the keyword, a spark of curiosity flashed, but the voice in her mind already urged her to enter.

Having been in the Church for so long, she was quite familiar with the habits of its Believers inside. Even though a discussion was ongoing, Ellie took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

"A new historical high-tier?"

Bai Yi looked surprisingly at the virtual humanoid beside her and made an inexplicable gesture toward Ellie.

But Ellie, from that casual gesture, inexplicably read a series of information that couldn’t possibly be conveyed through gestures.

"Still busy, wait on the side first. You can help yourself to food and drinks on the table, no need to worry about confidentiality, you’re an informed person..."

This was clearly not the Pope she had met once before.

The answer left only one possibility...

The legendary Lord of Red Moon of the Church actually looked like this, somehow familiar...

Suspiciously, Ellie gave a salute. Since the host here said so, she immediately tiptoed to a corner resting place, quietly observing the discussion in the room.

The Quantum Ghost, or more accurately, the Ghost Avatar made by Quantum Ghost using superpower didn’t mind Ellie’s entry, and continued to respond.

"Yes, this is what happened just now, but the matter was settled a few days ago.

Because communication was inconvenient, it wasn’t reported immediately, thinking to carry the news once the shift was changed.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be him..."

"Is there anything special about that guy?"

"Not particularly special, but...

He was a high-level Mechanician in my cohort, we used to fight often, and although we were both Transcendent of the Empire, we had a poor relationship!

Didn’t expect to meet again."

The Quantum Ghost held its head and shook it.

The so-called cohort doesn’t mean simultaneous promotion. In the scale of the Starry Sky, a gap of over ten years is normal, so in the Starry Sky, generally, those promoted within a similar decade carry such a title.

Due to the rarity of high-tier individuals, it’s seldom that high-tier individuals born nearby serve the same civilization, so this title is rarely used.

"So, what’s special about that guy? You lived until now, with that Eternal Life technique, surviving shouldn’t be a problem..."

Bai Yi asked in confusion.

The Quantum Ghost was momentarily conflicted, its long sleeves tangled together for a while before hesitantly and quietly answering:

"The issue is...

That guy, I personally killed him..."

"Wait, you killed him? Didn’t you say you were both the Empire’s high-level strong persons?

And if he was indeed killed, then what is this now?"

No longer intending to hide, the Quantum Ghost sighed and explained:

"Exactly, it was shortly after I advanced to the 8th Rank, having just obtained the power of the Ghost Avatar.

With that, I could simultaneously teach students on the Imperial Mother Star and intercept him from afar, leaving no evidence or traces.

Back then, the occasional wars still occurred, and the assassination of high-tier individuals was not an unusual incident, especially for a newly promoted Mechanician."

That’s not just a "bad relationship"...

Bai Yi thought of the Quantum Ghost’s previous description of the high-level Mechanician, twitching the corner of her mouth.

That’s nearly obliterating someone...

"Are you sure you completely killed him? Is there a possibility he used some means to survive and was saved by the Empire?"

The Quantum Ghost shook its head without hesitation.

"The reason for killing him aside, he’s dead, but I can confirm, the other party is absolutely, 100% dead!

I even still have that guy’s corpse hidden, how could he be alive?
