Chapter 552: Chapter 551 When did I allow you to stay!

Watching the matter-of-fact True Spirit, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but ask, "How does the Great Leader’s strength compare to Lord True Spirit’s?"

The True Spirit paused, slightly amused, and said, "You seem to misunderstand our existence. Not all ancestral spirits excel at battle. We each have our duties to follow."

"Like me, for example, if we’re talking in terms of strengths and weaknesses, several Great Leaders from the Donghuang tribe are stronger than I am."

Seeing Shao Zifeng’s expression change unpredictably, the True Spirit thought he was upset because of his own lack of strength and rarely offered consolation, "Such powerful beings are rare after all. Most people of our race don’t have divine abilities suited for battle, which is why I created the Sealing Array to help protect them."

"Your divine ability might not be considered outstanding, but it’s still quite good. At the very least, you can completely be a Feeding Hunter, and now you’ve mastered the power of the ’Mirage,’ there’s no need to belittle yourself."

You could see how I was belittling myself, huh.

Shao Zifeng mentally retorted.

If it had been before, he would have simply shrugged it off, but now his feelings were complex.

The True Spirit talked about the Donghuang tribespeople endowed with divine abilities, some of whom were even as strong as ancestral spirits. The problem now, however, was that this didn’t align at all with what he knew of the Daxia.

Over the past year, Shao Zifeng had met quite a few people.

Yet besides himself, the only one who seemed to possess divine abilities was Hu Shiwu.

After hesitating for a while, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but speak up, "Lord True Spirit, have you ever considered that we people of the Xia clan might not be the Donghuang tribe descendants you’re looking for?"

The True Spirit looked at him puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Shao Zifeng’s expression turned grave, "What if I told you that besides myself, I’ve never seen anyone else with divine abilities? Would you believe me?"

"How could that be possible." The True Spirit stared in disbelief, wide-eyed, "The Donghuang tribe descendants are exceptionally blessed; I don’t believe you!"

After saying that, it moved closer to Shao Zifeng and shut its eyes to sense something.

"You clearly have the aura of a Donghuang tribe descendant and are endowed with divine abilities, you ungrateful descendant, you must be lying to me!"

Seeing the True Spirit’s baffled expression, Shao Zifeng said somewhat reluctantly, "The truth is as such; the current people of the Xia clan can’t even defeat the lowest class of Mutant creatures."

The True Spirit looked at the earnest Shao Zifeng and slowly slumped onto its coiled snake body, murmuring to itself, "How could this be... I don’t believe it... Ungrateful descendants, they must be deceiving me."

As its words ended, the perception within its vision fell into a brief calm.

Shao Zifeng thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Lord True Spirit, could it be possible that your breaking the seal caused a spatial turbulence, leading you to a world that’s similar yet not exactly the same?"

Hearing his words, the True Spirit withdrew its gaze and motioned for him to continue.

"Like maybe two, or more than two, worlds are basically the same, but due to some reasons, each world turned out a bit different."

Watching the True Spirit lost in thought, Shao Zifeng went on, "From what I understand, before you appeared, the main direction of this world was science—like the artificial rainmaking, airplanes, and rockets I mentioned before."

"Then various lifeforms suddenly began to mutate, and the whole direction of the world changed dramatically. I just don’t know whether these changes happened before or after you appeared."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

What Shao Zifeng meant was the often-mentioned parallel universes.

The main reason he thought this way was that he himself had traveled from another time, which was essentially the same as this one.

If it weren’t for the ’unknown recovery event’ as a turning point, Shao Zifeng, bitten by a snake and then transported here, might just have thought he’d been dreaming.

Could it be possible?

The answer was definitely yes.

Perhaps the only difference was that this world had already seen the emergence of individuals with special abilities, evidence of which lay in his ’Deceiver’s Ring,’ ’Hidden Blade Sheath,’ and the ’Glory of the Karen Family’ from the medieval ’Witch Hunt.’

But to be honest, he couldn’t ensure whether another dimension lacked these things or not, as in that place he was just an ordinary college student waiting out his days, absolutely unable to touch upon matters of this level.

True Spirit thought it over seriously for a moment then slightly shook her head, "I do not know if there exists the kind of world you speak of, I also am not well-versed in matters concerning time and space. However, I can tell you that this world indeed clings to many Subspaces, and the magical Arrays are indeed created one after another."

"Besides, your explanations do not account for why Chi is also sealed here, don’t they?"

Shao Zifeng was startled.

Indeed.

If according to the explanation he had just provided, there should be no other ancestral spirit in this world apart from True Spirit, yet at this moment, a bald dragon was being sealed under the Ross Sea in the Forgotten Cold River.

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things." True Spirit stood up and looked towards the distant void, "We’ll talk after I have recovered my strength."

Shao Zifeng abruptly remembered the important matter at hand, and pinching his chin he said, "We’ve talked so much, but you seem to have not mentioned how to deal with the ’mark’ inside me, right?"

"That..." True Spirit’s gaze drifted uncertainly as she said, "I have already helped you remove the ’mark.’"

"When..." Shao Zifeng suddenly realized and said, "Are you referring to that wisp of black smoke?"

"What else?" True Spirit said matter-of-factly.

Shao Zifeng frowned, "If you’ve already removed it, why did you ask me to stay?"

True Spirit was immediately displeased upon hearing this, her defined eyebrows raised as she confidently said, "Impudent descendant! When did I ever ask you to stay?"

"Just..."

Shao Zifeng opened his mouth.

It seemed like he really had shamelessly decided to stay himself.

Well then.

Swallow that loss.

Seeing his chagrined expression, True Spirit’s mood instantly brightened, her plump serpentine body coiled up, with her tail tilting and swaying left and right.

"Although I do not know how ’Mirage’ was revived, it must be extremely weak since it cannot even control its own power at this time." True Spirit, in a good mood, swam up to Shao Zifeng and struggled to straighten up, patting his shoulder, "Do not fear, seize any chance to steal a bit more of that power. If it dares to bully you, wait till I recover and I’ll beat it down."

Shao Zifeng observed her undisguised happiness, and the corners of his mouth also revealed a slight smile.

Perhaps because the degradation of True Spirit was severe, True Spirit was now completely childish, and moreover, that sort of unreasonable child whose moods change swiftly.

Luckily, it wasn’t particularly unbearable, and was even rather cute at times.

Seeing that their chat was nearly at an end, Shao Zifeng stood up, preparing to take his leave.

When he saw the ritual offerings not far away, it was as if he thought of something, pointing at the ethereal bronze giant figure he said, "Lord True Spirit, this piece of ritual offering seems to be missing a key item, I wonder..."

True Spirit followed the direction of his hand, thoughtfully looking at the giant bronze figure holding nothing in its outstretched hand, continuously stroking the Beibei in her arms.

"It doesn’t matter, proceed with the ritual as normal." Saying so, she lowered her head, and with her plump little hand, she tapped the small head of Beibei muttering, "Although this little one gets a bargain, since you’ve inherited Mirage’s lineage, sooner or later you will..."

"Huh?"

Beibei blinked her eyes, looking innocently at True Spirit.

I’m just a little fool.

Why speak of things I don’t understand.
