Chapter 1090 - 422: Mu Yi Accepts a Disciple_2
Ye Hanjun stood still, his understanding of Shili’s meaning largely crystallized.
The blood plasma and scales of the Corpse Dragon Matriarch were of immense significance.
If they were wholly absorbed by the current tribe members, not only would it enable Shili, the commander of the tribe, to ascend from Minor Saintly Perfection as quickly as possible to Supreme Holy Completion,
but key combat units like Shimei and Shilan could also rely on the Divine Blood to recover their peak battle strength as much as possible.
However, such an approach would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
The Corpse Dragon Queen of this generation would indeed become powerful, but the next generation would still face the issue of reproduction.
Conversely, if the blood plasma and scales of the Corpse Dragon Matriarch were used to nourish new offspring,
they could cultivate more tribespeople, strengthening the tribe’s power and foundation, which would evidently be more seamlessly accomplished than the current situation.
"The two ends of the scale are both fair."
"If we were to put all our eggs in one basket, staking everything on this epoch, should we fail, the Clan of the Corpse Dragon Queen would not escape the claws of destruction."
"If we were to be overly cautious, spreading our chances across the second, third, and fourth epochs of the New Era, your tribe could last longer, with more potential possibilities..."
Ye Hanjun looked ahead and reflected, equally struggling to decide.
He could only offer advice based on his situation,
"If it were me, I might choose to take a big gamble."
"Surviving two or three epochs is like a frog being boiled in warm water."
"Without the birth of a true Fetus of God Sealing, the bloodline would eventually deteriorate, and the tribe would disintegrate. It’s just that you wouldn’t be the one to witness that scene, but rather your descendants; it wouldn’t feel particularly bad to you."
"But... to speak of Divine Enthronement, let alone even a Half-Step Deity, I have no confidence..."
Shili expressed a moment of bewildered confusion and extreme perplexity,
"Offering sacrifices and taboo integrations are just experimental methods."
"Though I have succeeded, I can feel that my blood is unstable and that even if I were to ascend to Supreme Holy Completion, the possibility of advancing beyond that... is minuscule."
"Instead, Shiju might use the blood of the Corpse Dragon as a springboard, grafting it onto the Hanba Clan, and that could very well be a path of light. I sincerely wish her well..."
Ye Hanjun pinched the bridge of his nose without another word.
He probably understood why Shili’s attribute panel listed ’Melancholy’ as her Core Personality.
Carrying the role of Clan Leader at a young age, one moment considering the reproduction of her race, the next her personal growth—how could she possibly cope with it all? Heart-wrenching sacrifice seemed natural.
"Clan Leader, do not speak lightly of giving up!"
"By absorbing the Ancestor’s blood plasma, the unstable elements in your bloodline might be stripped away!"
Shimei and Shilan could hardly stop themselves from offering encouragement,
"No matter what the future holds for our tribe, we just need to do our best, and leave the rest to fate."
"Yes, Lier, it’s not your fault. It’s a miracle that our clan has survived the Near Ancient Cosmos. Every epoch of the New Era is a blessing from fate, and now with the new continuation of our lineage and the protection of Goddess Ba, it’s too early to determine how our situation will unfold..."
With just a few words, Shili realized her lapse and hastily apologized to Ye Hanjun.
Ye Hanjun shook his head, pondered, then summoned Mu Yi Hanba to hear his opinion.
"Divine Blood lineage, forbidden convergences?"
Mu Yi merely lifted his eyes to glance, and Shili felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, her eyelids twitching non-stop:
"This bandage... it looks familiar..."
"The form beneath the bandage... Hanba?"
"No wonder there’s an alliance; turns out you’ve made a Contract with the Hanba Clan, that explains everything..."
"Clang!"
Mu Yi Hanba, ignoring the shock expressed by the outsiders about himself—a reaction he had become numb to long ago—
Circled around Shili, suddenly leaped up, jabbed a dead finger into her arm, pricked out a drop of corpse blood, and tasted it carefully on his tongue.
"Umm, indeed there are many ’impurities,’ quite unclean..."
"Your judgment is correct. Ascending to Supreme Holy Completion in such a state would leave you with no further possibility; forever confined to this Rank."
"Mu Yi, our Hanba Clan’s elder, can you save her?"
Shimei and Shilan, despite having a significantly higher Rank than Mu Yi at this moment, were struck by his desolate aura, which felt as if it could make heaven and earth weep; they sensed an immense presence before them that demanded submission and dared not underestimate him.
"I have no absolute certainty."
Mu Yi Hanba mulled for a moment and answered nonchalantly:
"Why don’t you practice the ’Skill of Reconstituting Bloodline’ with me then?"
"But you’re different from me, I am re-practicing after sealing, advancing steadily step by step."
"You need to compress, staying on the Rank of Voidal Extraction for a longer time, doing all you can to refine your bloodline until the timing is truly ripe, then seizing the opportunity to break through to Supreme Holy Completion."
"That way, your future won’t be shrouded in layers of darkness, at least there will be a thread of light shining into your heart..."
"Gurgle..."
Shili—suddenly stripping away her role as Clan Leader, becoming a timid little girl, her expression one of trepidation and astonishment.
It was her first time hearing of such a method of practice, her thoughts became active, much like the relentless surge of the ocean’s waves, battering her spirit time and again.
"Little Shili, Grandpa Muyi is super awesome; you must seize the opportunity!"
Little GuaGua ran to Shili’s ear and whispered,
"He’s the ’Corpse Child’ who once stayed with your tribe; he must have a fondness for you."
"And he’s killed a Half-Step Deity before, heroically rising up against superiors."
"Even within the Hanba Clan, Grandpa Muyi is a renowned figure, the King of Holy Kings, invincible beneath the gods, every one of these titles earned through bloodshed, each word drenched in blood!"
