Chapter 213 Regret After Failing to Gain Glory
Chapter 213 Regret After Failing to Gain Glory
Above the Celestial Court!
In the Jade Pool, accompanied by cries of labor pains, one "holy fetus" after another was born.
The first one to emerge from the womb was none other than the cultivator whom He Jin called "Tianbai". The baby emerged from the legs of the White Tiger Clan Heavenly Maiden, and was immediately enveloped in various lights. The essence blood and other substances in the surrounding blood pool were once again absorbed by him!
He was surrounded by radiant clouds and endless Daoist energy, with various illusory phenomena appearing, like the moon rising over the sea or the sun shining brightly in the sky!
"Born with the inherent fortune of the Great Dao..."
"This child has a remarkable future!"
"He was born from the reincarnation of an unparalleled powerhouse, and with such talent, he was absolutely an existence that would be unmatched throughout history!"
Everyone was extremely shocked.
"No, it's robbing the mother's nutrients!"
At this moment, Bai Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed, because Bai Ruoshuang, the Heavenly Maiden of their White Tiger Clan and the mother of the Holy Embryo, was rapidly withering away. Her once youthful and beautiful face had lost its luster in an instant, and wrinkles covered her skin, making her look like an old woman in her eighties!
The others were also shocked. After all, Bai Ruoshuang was the mother of the Holy Embryo, but the Holy Embryo had just been born and had already drained its "birth mother" dry. It was too heartless!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the endless light slowly dissipated, and the various Daoist auras subsided. When the infant reappeared before the world, it had already grown into a young man!
The young man was handsome and refined, with eyes like stars and skin as white as snow. With a wave of his hand, the light of creation flowed in the celestial court and fell on him, transforming into a white robe!
The young man in white slowly surveyed the scene, smiled slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "After countless years of planning, I can finally feel the pulse of flesh and blood again. It wasn't in vain!"
He gently raised his hand and moved his body. The beating of his heart, the flow of blood, the circulation of vital energy in his body... the taste in his nose, the light he saw, the sound he heard, and even the cool breeze blowing across his body excited him greatly!
Although these strange creatures possess intelligence, they have lost all the experiences of being flesh and blood, and are forever deprived of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion.
When the environment in which they live has changed drastically, it is difficult for these beings, who were born from corpses, to experience the beauty of life again.
Of course, life isn't necessarily wonderful for strange creatures!
--Even in the Origin Realm, not all living beings yearn for rebirth; the Alien Alliance is only a small part of it.
Even Tianbai and his group hadn't previously expressed much desire for flesh and blood; their primary motivation was to plan another major undertaking...
But now that he was truly reborn, the pulsation of flesh and blood, the heartbeat, inexplicably gave him a sense of disillusionment.
I no longer seem to be a strange being.
"No!"
However, he immediately shook his head slightly.
"Flesh and blood are weak and painful, but the Great Dao allows one to ascend."
He murmured, "Never again must I fall into the shackles of flesh and blood!"
The beauty of flesh and blood can be enjoyed, but one should not become addicted to it, nor should one forget the purpose of one's visit.
After achieving their goal and finding and controlling the reincarnation authority in the Immortal Realm, they will ultimately have to return to the Origin Realm to obtain that immense opportunity...
Following closely behind, the ancestors of the True Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and other races were also born one by one!
Like Tianbai, they absorbed all the essence and blood in the blood pool and plundered the mother's nutrients and essence to achieve rapid growth.
"what……"
"Why...my child!"
Jiu Xin, Qian Qian, Huo Ling'er, Bai Qian, and others are all stunningly beautiful and peerless, reaching the pinnacle of beauty. However, at the age when their vitality is at its peak, the baby has drained them of everything, leaving them like candles in their twilight years, tragic and pitiful!
The mothers of the other ancient demonic apes, yakshas, and humans are no different at this moment.
This scene left all the ethnic groups somewhat alarmed.
They originally thought that the mother of the Holy Embryo and the Holy Embryo must have a deep bond, and that their tribe would be valued for this. But now the Holy Embryo seems to have no regard for its mother at all!
"Welcome back our distant ancestor!"
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird clan bowed deeply to the young man born from Huo Ling'er's womb and recognized him as their ancestor on the spot!
Other ethnic groups followed suit!
"Welcome back our distant ancestor!"
"Welcome back our distant ancestor!"
The crowd roared and cheered as all the major races knelt down. Even the human race knelt before Tian Bai, for he was a human.
However, upon seeing this, Tian Bai merely sneered and said, "You lot are not worthy to be of the same race as us?"
"How dare a mere ant claim kinship with a true god?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
What does this mean?
Don't these beings who were born consider them as one of their own?
Why are the major powers and clans so eager to participate in the path of alienation? They are even willing to sacrifice everything, including the celestial maidens of their own clans.
It's all about establishing connections with these powerful beings from the Origin Realm who were born, so that they can survive!
“We have long since entered the Origin Realm. You are full of sins, and your flesh and blood are hard to cleanse. You are not qualified to kneel before us! Perhaps you can become our servants after you have cultivated into gray mist beings.”
The ancestor of the True Dragons, a wild and untamed youth, glanced indifferently at the True Dragon Clan.
There was no emotion whatsoever!
The faces of everyone in the True Dragon Clan were extremely grim.
In their eyes, were they nothing more than sinful ants? They didn't even have the right to kneel and bow to them!
Even if I become a creature of the gray mist... I can only be a servant?
"Why? Isn't this our ancestor?"
"Shut up, do you want to die? Daring to claim kinship with the great ones in the Origin Realm..."
“It’s different now. Our ancestors were beings of flesh and blood, the very source of our conquests. But this one is nothing more than a strange spirit born from the corpse of our ancestors. They are no longer the same person!”
The True Dragon Clan, how proud they are! Along with the Phoenix Clan, they are the two most powerful clans among the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era. They usually command the world and no one dares to disobey them. But now, they are so humble and subservient, unable to even raise their heads!
Everyone felt extremely resentful, having fallen from being masters in the clouds to being ants who weren't even qualified to be servants... This sense of disillusionment and loss was truly overwhelming!
The same is true for other ethnic groups; all their previous high expectations have been dashed!
It felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over my head!
"My child, my child..."
At this moment, Bai Ruoshuang, the celestial maiden of the White Tiger Clan, though already in her eighties, spoke in a trembling voice. The hardships of ten months of pregnancy and the excruciating pain of childbirth had completely activated the maternal instinct flowing in her blood. She subconsciously raised her hand, as if wanting to stroke Tianbai...
"A vessel of flesh and blood, yet you dare to call yourself my mother?"
Tian Bai's face turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand to suppress it!
"what--"
Bai Ruoshuang let out a shrill scream before being smashed into a cloud of blood mist, her soul and spirit annihilated!
Seeing this, everyone around fell silent in fear!
At this moment, they were utterly heartbroken, and their understanding became crystal clear: these beings before them would never cherish the slightest connection or affection with their birth mother, nor would they take the various races of the Immortal Realm seriously...
"We've given so much, and this is what we get in return?"
At this moment, a thought flashed through the minds of many people!
"We've given everything, yet we're still at their mercy, treated like ants..."
"The sacred embryo, which we have devoted everything to nurturing, will never protect our people!"
"Can we even survive...?"
Everyone was filled with anxiety!
As for the White Tiger Clan, the leaders, including Bai Xiaotian, didn't dare to utter a sound. Even though Bai Ruoshuang was dead, they could only bow their heads and acquiesce, and were even filled with fear.
"Perhaps, Ruoling made the right choice..."
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Bai Xiaotian's mind. He remembered Bai Ruoling's resolute decision back then... and a sense of regret arose in his heart!
……
Congratulations, seniors!
At this moment, the Supreme Immortal Emperor solemnly spoke, bowed to Tian Bai and the others, and said, "The fact that you seniors have been reborn is truly a blessing for the Immortal Realm!"
"I have already ordered a banquet to welcome you all, seniors. I hope you will do me the honor of joining me!"
He was a dignified Immortal Emperor of the present era, yet he maintained an extremely humble demeanor, which made everyone else's expressions even more complicated.
In fact, these beings in the Origin Realm were all outstanding figures in various historical timelines. Many of them may have surpassed the Supreme Immortal Emperor in their previous lives. After being reborn as strange beings, they became even more powerful. Therefore, it is not inappropriate for the Supreme Immortal Emperor to be regarded as a senior.
"Very well, there are some things that need these ants to do."
Tian Bai spoke calmly, then looked at He Jin and said, "Young Master He, please tell the Origin Realm that we have been reborn and will soon find reincarnation."
He Jin also gave a slight bow, and then left.
Tianbai, the True Dragon Ancestor, and others were immediately invited to a banquet in the Lingxiao Palace by the Supreme Dao Immortal Emperor, while the various forbidden clans and human forces could only silently follow behind, keeping a distance, like servants.
"On the path of alienation, only the Supreme Immortal Emperor truly benefits!"
"Yes, even we got scammed!"
"Even if we survive, we'll only be at the lowest level in the gray fog... This is worse than death!"
As they walked, many powerful figures were filled with resentment.
However, despite their anger and resentment, no one dared to express it!
……
The group left.
In the Jade Pool, only the Feather King, Lin Ruoxue, and a group of elderly women remained.
Yu Wang was still staring blankly at the arena, his gaze fixed on Princess Zhuiyue!
Princess Zhuiyue looked somewhat exhausted and weary, but compared to the others who had been drained of their life force, she was in excellent condition and still maintained a youthful and beautiful appearance.
She looked at the baby in her arms, her eyes filled with sorrow!
She gave birth to a stillborn child!
Is it the relief of surviving a catastrophe? Is it the helplessness and pain of a mother watching her stillborn child? Or is it the sorrow that her tribe did not achieve glory because of her...?
She looked up and stared blankly at her surroundings.
Jiu Xin, the princess of the Kunpeng clan, was an incredibly powerful celestial maiden. She used to be so beautiful, but now she is old and frail, like a piece of rotten wood.
Qingqing, the holy maiden of the Five Elements Heavenly Kui Clan, was so lovely, like a celestial spirit, but now she has lost all vitality, numb like a walking corpse...
Bai Qian, a celestial maiden of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, was no less cunning and shrewd than I am, but what good is it now? All her charms and beauty have vanished...
What kind of path have we taken?
Moreover, in her weakened and grief-stricken state, not a single member of her tribe came to care for her; they all left, they all left…
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Bai Ruoling and Jin Muyun's determination at the Extraordinary Gathering.
How foolish they were back then!
But looking at it now, they have at least gained genuine affection and are living freely and unrestrained lives!
She... really regretted it!
A single tear slid down her cheek.
"Cultivate diligently, and perhaps there will be a future for those who become strange beings soon."
Lin Ruoxue approached, looked at Princess Zhuiyue, sighed softly, left behind a scroll of cultivation techniques, and then left with the Feather King.
"Master, where do we go next?"
Lin Ruoxue asked a question.
The Feather King was utterly dejected, his eyes gazing blankly into the distance. All his years of planning had come to nothing, and he truly didn't know what to do next...
"Reincarnation!"
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, he looked in the direction of the Lingxiao Palace and said, "That's right, Tianbai and the others were reborn not just to crave flesh and blood, but more importantly, to seek reincarnation!"
"If they can really find her, if reincarnation can happen again, perhaps I can find her shadow in the past and bring her into this life!"
Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, he said in a trembling voice, "Let's go to the Lingxiao Palace and find clues about reincarnation with Tianbai and the others!"
