Volu 6 Chapter 19: Advent of disaster
A small figure was chuckling to themselves in the darkness as if she was suppressing her emotions, the emotion of wanting to destroy everything in existence and beco the very manifestation of the world’s destruction itself.
『 Those little rats, if I wasn’t reaching a crucial point…』 as the loud commotions echoed outside, several Desolates whose bodies were already sowhat mutated ca in to report the situation to her.
The Nanwu Shaman’s voice currently sounded like nails scratching on glass, not only was it exceptionally discomforting to the ear, it was also hard to hear what she was saying.
『 How unfortunate, I had originally prepared to personally guide that Yunhe tribe brat to our Lord after everything was over, but if he already ran away, then forget it! 』
While Yun Yi had plenty of shortcomings, he also had praiseworthy attributes: When the disaster first occurred in the Yunhe tribe, he was affected and ca into contact with the Lord of Disaster’s na, then personally witnessed the scene of his tribe’s destruction and his tribesn turning into monsters.
Afterwards, he was under house arrest in the Nanwu tribe and subjected to torture by his own conscience while also constantly imrsed in the gradually thicker presence of disaster within the Nanwu tribe. A normal person would have already been filled with the will to destroy and beco a follower of the Lord of Disaster during his period of ti, but Yun Yi was rely ntally fatigued, which showed just how firm his will was.
At the sa ti, while people like him were the most difficult to delude, once they had beco deluded and had their thought process changed, they would fall even more thoroughly compared to others. In the Nanwu tribe’s hundred-odd years of living experience, she had seen plenty of examples of this already.
For example, there was once a tribe called Chishan near the Nanwu tribe that had produced a genius. Even with her currently discerning eyes, she would still consider him to be an absolute genius, that genius was also completely loyal to the Chishan tribe, having gone through many trials of life and death for their sake with a firm mind, unlike any others.
Until one day, he was such a paragon that the young Chishan Shaman at the ti felt concerned for his own position.
What followed afterwards was a simple framing plot, the genius was condemned to have been cooperating with other tribes, while all the people who had ever received his aid and had supported him in the past stayed completely silent. And he had dedicated a lot to everyone in the tribe, personally or not.
When you’ve supported soone so much that they simply cannot repay your favor, your support would feel like a sharp knife being plunged into their dignity, becoming a heavy weight on their ntality. At a point like this, most will decide to choose an extre thod to repay your favors.
The majority of them would wish that you were simply dead so that they no longer have to repay that debt and be free of the weight, they would even fan the flas, saying that the support they’ve received in the past was nothing but a ploy. They repay kindness with cruelty and slander, hoping to pull you down from your previous position to balance their minds.
That genius ended up being treated this way, but of course, so people still had their conscience, so he managed to escape with their help and returned to the Chishan tribe a few years later with his own tribe.
The ever-friendly person who once helped others as his joy was using nothing the absolute cruelest ans at his disposal to massacre those who were once his fellow tribesn, additionally, his mannerism had also completely changed, becoming a man of notoriety.
Although his situation was much different compared to Yun Yi, the sa principles would apply. The more one insisted on maintaining their bottom line, the more foolish they would feel their past self was once that bottom line was broken.
『 Then again, why exactly did the Demons suddenly attack the tribe? 』the Nanwu Shaman was puzzled.
Their tribe was nowhere near the Demon race, and their plans recently had not targeted the Demon race at all, so this was a bit strange.
『 Send people out! Search every corner that they’ve been to and report any hint of abnormalities you find! 』
…
At another location, Yun Yi continued to follow this group of Celestials. These people’s actions and words have gradually dispelled Yun Yi’s worries, it was as if they naturally carried a presence that cald others.
Especially their eyes which had remained consistently clear and sharp, no one could discern any wavering emotions from within them. It truly must be said, after discarding his prejudice towards the so-called ‘Demon race’, Yun Yi’s impression of the race called Celestial was getting better.
Of course, it was still a fact that the Celestial’s appearance had created huge pressure on the Desolates’ living conditions. Celestial Po Nan also didn’t bother to hide their intentions at all, admitting that they intended to find their Holy Child ng Luo in order to resolve the shortcoming of the Celestial, from which point they would use him to help the Celestials take over the entire Desolate Sacrifice world.
From the perspective of a Desolate, the Celestials were enemies beyond a doubt, but Yun Yi’s own tribe had already been destroyed. Furthermore, after being tortured for so long, as his ntal faculties regained their clarity, the more the thought about the issue of Celestial versus Desolate, the more he felt like siding with the Celestials.
At the sa ti, for the Celestials, any individual who had tread onto, or was simply willing to walk onto the path to eternal peace was a person worthy of respect. They aren’t against Yun Yi joining the Celestials, as the Celestial race valued an individual’s spirit more than they do their bloodline.
Very quickly, they once again found traces of ng Luo, at which point Noah and Lan Shan were observing them from a distance.
If everything went as planned, ng Luo would be able to lure the other Desolate tribes here to attack the Nanwu tribe and successfully pull off his ambush at the very last mont. His role during this entire event would be even more crucial than what he had imagined.
In the end, the Lord of Disaster still hasn’t manifested his Pathway, his roots in this world were still lacking, which made him unable to face a [Protagonist Aura] head-on. If he couldn’t co up with a solution, the Nanwu tribe would simply beco an event where the [Protagonist] showed off his ttle.
Obviously, Negary would not allow that to happen. Using the world’s information sea, he branded ng Luo as the Holy Child of the Celestial race. If ng Luo took on this title and entered the path of eternal peace, this [Protagonist] would beco Negary’s pawn.
After all, from the mont he infected a portion of the world’s consciousness, Negary could already be considered a part of this world spirit, albeit a small part, it was still now than enough for him to accept a [Protagonist].
Naturally, the Desolate Sacrifice world’s spirit would not let this occur without interfering. And so, while ng Luo was originally going to beco the oriole behind the praying mantis after sending out information of the Nanwu tribe, he was very coincidentally discovered by a high-level Warrior from the ng tribe.
Without any other choices, ng Luo could only flee from this central of conflict. The pursuing ng tribe warriors even accidentally discovered traces of the Celestial’s group and clashed, leaving ng Luo to run away deep into the Desolate’s territory, where the Celestials would not be able to reach.
However, this also made him unable to participate in the events at the Nanwu tribe.
Normal Disaster-infected Desolates were the sa monster filled with thorns and blades that initially showed up. Each of them was as strong as a Warrior who had just obtained their first Skill, but since they were irrational, despite being ferocious and unafraid of death, they were easily kited to death without any sort of coordination.
The alliance of several tribes naturally brought with them an ample number of high-level Warriors, including quite a few Warriors who had reached the Converging Path as well, not to ntion the artifacts that the Shamans had discreetly brought with them.
Everything went smoothly in the beginning. The uncoordinated Disaster-infected Desolates were easily killed en masse through long-distance curses; the Converging Path Warriors were also like wolves in a flock of sheep, easily massacring these mindless beasts.
But it all changed when the Nanwu Shaman acted.
As the Nanwu Shaman reappeared, their previous impression of her was completely broken. Her original wrinkly old woman appearance had regressed, becoming a young girl of about 14-15 years old. She was about 150cm in height and carried the characteristics expected of soone that age.
If not for her hysteric bloodshot eyes brought by mass massacres and destruction, as well as her distorted grin and terrifying strength, no one would ever believe that this girl was once the Nanwu Shaman.
Her strength far surpassed the limit of the alliance, using her ridiculous level of power to completely rip away the will to fight from the attackers. The tribe alliance was thoroughly defeated with nurous Warriors losing their lives on the battlefield, all of their corpses were kept by the Nanwu tribe.
More and more black smoke drifted and swirled, causing the dead Disaster-infected Desolates to stand back up once again.
Disaster is coming…
