Chapter 711 -713: Can You Have a Reflex Even After Death?

Seeing Qin Muye remaining silent, She Xi also hesitated, since for him, this was certainly not good news. It seemed that the other had noticed something.

But now he didn’t know how to speak, although countless thoughts were drifting in his mind, eventually forming various assumptions and plans for subsequent resolution.

“How long has the Snake Temple existed?” Qin Muye suddenly asked.

“This old servant does not know, only that it has existed since the time of my birth,” She Xi hurriedly responded after coming back to his senses.

“That long? That’s indeed quite peculiar,” Qin Muye mused, reaching out to place his hand on the altar.

She Xi looked at Qin Muye with some confusion. What was he trying to do, sense something?

Before She Xi could figure it out, Qin Muye exerted force with his hand. In just an instant, countless cracks spread from Qin Muye’s position towards the surroundings.

Seeing this, She Xi’s complexion changed. Instinctively, he wanted to open his mouth to stop him; after all, this object was the core of the Snake-man Clan and the key to his rule over them. If it were to be destroyed, his power within the Snake-man Clan would undoubtedly plummet dramatically.

But it was already too late. The moment Qin Muye took action, the entire Snake Temple collapsed.

Boom~

A massive sound erupted, and just as She Xi was about to speak, he saw countless blood-red auras steaming up from the ground.

“Father Snake?” His complexion changed, and he was about to turn and flee, but then he thought of Qin Muye who was still there and realized he need not worry about him being in trouble.

“Not exactly, it’s more like Father Snake’s heart. You probably don’t know, but the land of You Si is the corpse of the deity you worship…as Father Snake.”

The answer from Qin Muye made She Xi’s scales tremble for a moment, as terror related to the depths of his soul kept surging into his heart.

At the same time, some ancient memory buried deep within his bloodline was rekindled due to the stimulation.

He saw a massive corpse being struck down and swallowed by the earth as if in a quagmire.

The half-snake, half-human corpse covered with scales did not decay within the earth, but instead, new life gradually evolved within the body, giving birth to the species named the Snake-man Clan…

They struggled to survive by worshipping their great creator, an entity known as Father Snake, which allowed them to grow in the dark underworld.

The civilization of the Snake-man Clan fed on the flesh and blood of Father Snake and evolved, turning the heart into a temple to sacrifice to Father Snake and to express respect for him. Through sacrifices and belief, they made their civilization flourish even more.

But when he returned to his senses, his expression became even uglier.

“It seems you might have seen something,” Qin Muye smiled; that was normal. This heart stood for Father Snake gradually returning from death.

Compared to the Ancient God, the Mother of the Tribe, the return of Father Snake was much more difficult because, as time passed, the Snake-man Clan grew further away from their father. Unlike the Mother of the Tribe, who had inheriting offspring and descendants spread throughout civilization, so from beginning to end, the Mother of the Tribe was very close to her offspring.

Therefore, there was a significant difference in difficulty for both to return from death, especially as there had been two traitorous generations in succession for the Snake-man Clan, which not only failed to smooth the already difficult path of return but added complications to it.

If Father Snake had known about the situation of the Snake-man Clan in the beginning, Qin Muye assumed he definitely would not have chosen this path. Among the many paths to return, this one was the most convenient, and yet it led to trouble.

“Just some minor matters, not worth Your Majesty’s concern,” She Xi naturally wouldn’t speak of what he had seen; the death of Father Snake was, for him, a calamity.

She Xi’s heart was filled with anxiety. Even Emperor Qian had taken action against Father Snake, so why had the lord of the Endless Abyss not yet appeared? If they didn’t show up soon, he was done for.

“You don’t actually believe Father Snake is dead, do you?” Qin Muye suddenly said.

This frightened She Xi; if the body was the land of You Si and the heart had been turned into the Snake Temple, how could he possibly still be alive? But hearing it from Qin Muye, She Xi grew even more nervous, feeling as if he had fallen into some grand conspiracy.

“This old servant wouldn’t dare, Father Snake…”

“Alright, no more nonsense. I have a piece of advice for you, run now. If you don’t, Father Snake is going to come for you, the rebel,” Qin Muye’s tone was very calm, but it struck She Xi like thunder.

Looking up, She Xi saw countless blood clouds emerging, the unstoppable calling from deep within his bloodline made him tremble all over.

His body told him to embrace his serpent father, to return to his father’s flesh, but his reason told him to run, to flee without looking back.

When reason and instinct clashed, She Xi relied on his reason to suppress the innate call from his bloodline to return to his serpent father and turned to escape.

As he fled, he saw throngs of the Snake-man Clan rushing towards this place, the fervor in their eyes sending a chill through She Xi; it was the ancestral debt from the depths of his bloodline.

Born from the serpent father, now he must repay him.

But She Xi did not want to, he had seen everything and never thought to repay.

“My power… no, it’s my bloodline that’s backfiring on me, the power bestowed upon me from the Endless Abyss is resisting, and both forces are pulling at each other,” She Xi said with an ugly expression.

He felt weak, but it was not that his power was waning, rather it was engaged in a tug-of-war with his bloodline, making him feel as though his power was fading.

Not only that, he could feel many of his abilities disappearing, powers like eternal youth and a robust body were being eliminated as the source of the bloodline reclaimed them.

“Faster… move faster…” She Xi gritted his teeth and whispered breathlessly, desperately pushing through the oncoming tide of Snake-man Clan to escape.

Though this would render him a useless snake, at least his life would be saved. Whether it was power or authority, all these premises were built upon the safety of his own life; otherwise, everything was meaningless.

‘Thank goodness for martial arts, as long as I make it out, everything is still possible.’ She Xi had never expected things to develop to this point.

But when he arrived at the gateway to the surface, everything seemed to become insensible; the stone door had turned to flesh and was no longer openable. His expression became even uglier, and his body was also becoming no different from that of an ordinary person.

Qin Muye did not stop She Xi from leaving; to him, this was not a big deal, and the other party couldn’t get out anyway.

Countless Snake-men were rushing forward, merging into the bloody mist, and the visage of a half-human half-snake emerged.

The serpent father was returning from death, using the most extreme method to create a coordinate.

Indeed, those Snake-men merging into the blood mist were not resurrecting the serpent father but served as coordinates, just as the infected myriad clans had been in the Magic Continent Server years ago.

“This counts as a response, I guess…” Qin Muye muttered to himself.

Most likely, the serpent father had sensed his arrival, and coupled with the presence of the traitor She Xi, the serpent father was forced to return to avoid truly being suppressed by Qin Muye.

Killing a 9th tier with another 9th tier, especially a dead 9th tier, was really not a difficult task.

“Come, let me see one lively one,” Qin Muye said, not acting now because the benefit was truly low. A damaged currency could not compare to the full currency, even if the full currency had shrunk, it was still currency in itself.

Moreover, just like She Xi wanted to benefit from him, Qin Muye was also using the serpent father, hoping to lure out the existence that had once suppressed the Alien Clan, and then… hit two birds with one stone.

Therefore, he needed the serpent father to resurrect. Only then would there be enough temptation; otherwise, it would just be a crippled corpse, which obviously was not very interesting to the other party.

As the Snake-man Clan was continuously sacrificed, a sort of conceptual condensation and return was happening bit by bit, and the huge phantom was becoming more solid.

As the number of coordinates increased, the signal naturally became clearer.

However, using this method to return, the power is feared to drop considerably. Qin Muye was unclear if the other party could still maintain the 9th tier because, judging by the fact that She Xi’s recovered power had not been bestown upon other Snake-men, it was very likely that the serpent father was on his last legs, possibly comparable to the Cosmic Will scrambling itself.

Therefore, Qin Muye surmised the other party would probably flee first instead of facing him head-on.

“Luckily, I came prepared.”

The anti-source material, static, and dynamic binding fields capable of restraining a 9th tier had already sealed off the entire You Si when he had arrived. A complete Cosmic Will could only leave with the help of an inside man, and the serpent father, just returned from death, likely lacked the ability to escape.
