Chapter 555: Wen Lao
Wen Lao paused, his eyes widening in realization. This young individual was the Ghost Emperor? Sothing didn't add up.
He had seen the previous generation of the Ghost Emperor, and this young person looked nothing like them. Could it be that the Ghost Emperor had changed once again?
"Young one, don't think about deceiving . The previous Ghost Emperor was not you. Tell
the truth!" Wen Lao's face darkened, and an imnse pressure suddenly emanated, startling Wang Chun.
The other party was at least a Small Galaxy Second Tier expert, or perhaps even Third Tier. It seed that the Ghost Clan still had an old and enduring figure. This was a miscalculation.
"Wen Lao, the Ghost Emperor you're talking about belongs to the previous generation. He died at my hands in a direct confrontation. Now, I am the Ghost Emperor, though I haven't undergone the coronation ceremony yet," Wang Chun explained.
Wen Lao scrutinized him carefully and then nodded slightly. "I see. If the previous Ghost Emperor has indeed perished, then you are indeed qualified to assu the role of this generation's Ghost Emperor. I wonder what brings the Ghost Emperor here for information?"
Wang Chun's lips twitched. Was it really this easy for Wen Lao to accept his identity? Wasn't he concerned that Wang Chun might be an assassin targeting the Ghost Emperor? Or did he not consider the possibility that Wang Chun was a Ghost Clan traitor?
As Wang Chun pondered, he realized that Wen Lao couldn't possibly know his true identity. Wen Lao hadn't jumped to the conclusion that he was a Ghost Clan traitor. In that case, his position as the Ghost Emperor was solidified.
It was a fortuitous misunderstanding!
"Lately, I've developed an interest in Ghost Patterns and ca here to find information about them, preferably ancient records," Wang Chun stated his purpose.
"Please follow , Ghost Emperor," Wen Lao said.
Wang Chun trailed behind Wen Lao, covering quite a distance. He hadn't expected the place to be this vast. If he had to search on his own, it would likely take a long ti.
Wen Lao stopped by a bookshelf and pointed to it. "This is where we keep the information on Ghost Patterns. Take your ti, Ghost Emperor."
With that, Wen Lao's figure vanished, and Wang Chun dared not show any emotion. He was concerned that Wen Lao might still be monitoring him.
Wang Chun picked up a book at random and quickly skimd through it. He furrowed his brows. The book did not contain the original information about Ghost Patterns but rather the interpretations of later individuals.
This information was of no use to him.
After searching for a while, he called out, "Wen Lao, do you happen to have information about the predecessor who created Ghost Patterns?"
"Oh, you're interested in such ancient records?" Wen Lao's figure reappeared, and he wore a slightly surprised expression.
"A little."
Wen Lao waved his hand, and an inconspicuous-looking book flew into Wang Chun's hand. He handed it over, saying, "This book contains information about the creator of Ghost Patterns. Unfortunately, it's from a distant era, and many details have been lost. This should be the most comprehensive record within the Ghost Clan."
Wang Chun didn't hesitate and opened the book, examining it carefully.
Before long, he finished reading the book, and his expression beca sowhat peculiar.
Wen Lao seed to sense his thoughts and chuckled, "Do you find it interesting? It turns out that Ghost Patterns were born under those circumstances. Our Ghost Clan benefited greatly from Ghost Patterns, yet they were initially seen as an anomaly."
Wang Chun could only nod. He knew all of this, but one detail ntioned in the book was unimaginable: the ancestor who created Ghost Patterns had once co into contact with a massive creature, pure white in color, with two long ears on its head.
He imdiately thought of the Cosmic Behemoth that Commander had ntioned. A thought crossed his mind, "Could it be that the ancestor who created Ghost Patterns was inspired by the Cosmic Behemoth, leading to the creation of Ghost Patterns?"
After careful consideration, this possibility didn't seem far-fetched at all. Without so external influence, even the most brilliant ancestor couldn't have invented sothing as groundbreaking as Ghost Patterns out of thin air.
He imdiately shared this speculation with Commander. Su Chen, upon hearing it, was left sowhat speechless.
So, it turned out that the origin of Ghost Patterns was linked to the Rabbit patterns on the Cosmic Behemoth. Those patterns were the most primitive form of Ghost Patterns!
Just then, the voice of the System rang out, "Congratulations, Master, on completing all the side missions. Rewards have been distributed, and a new side mission has been triggered: 'Recover any one Cosmic Behemoth on Yan Yun Star.' Successful completion will grant one billion Energy Points, advanced Ghost Patterns fusion technology, and a chance to upgrade a Superweapon."
Su Chen hadn't expected to complete the chain of side missions so easily. He had received fifty million Energy Points and the reward of interdiate Ghost Patterns fusion technology. This ant that what Wang Chun had said earlier was indeed true.
The genius who invented Ghost Patterns had indeed drawn inspiration from the Cosmic Behemoth Rabbit. To think that Ghost Patterns, sothing that had benefited the entire Ghost Clan, had initially been viewed as an anomaly.
Considering the Cosmic Behemoth Rabbit's habit of burrowing underground, it was possible for the genius to accidentally encounter it. However, the surprising part was that the genius had not beco Rabbit's prey.
Looking at the new side mission, Su Chen was relieved that there were no ti limits or penalties. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with this Rabbit in a short amount of ti. It was a suspected Small Galaxy peak-level Cosmic Behemoth, and with his current power, he wasn't a match.
"Can the interdiate Ghost Patterns fusion technology be used on middle-tier Beastn units?" Su Chen inquired.
"It can," replied the System.
"Including Chronolegionair Troops?"
"Yes."
"How about Super Soldiers?"
"Master, please don't daydream!"
Su Chen chuckled, realizing he was getting ahead of himself. If that was the case, the rewards from the next mission could be applied to the Super Soldiers. However, once Ghost Patterns were fused with a person, black patterns would undoubtedly appear. Yun Ru strongly expressed her reluctance to have Ghost Patterns.
"It seems I'll have to wait for Yun Ru to figure out how to conceal Ghost Patterns. We'll deal with it when the ti cos."
Wang Chun, unaware of Su Chen's thoughts, had only just reported the situation when he received Su Chen's reply, granting him the freedom to act as he pleased. In other words, he could beco the Ghost Emperor or even infiltrate and eliminate the Ghost Clan; Su Chen wouldn't interfere.
Although Qing Ye had left him disappointed, Wang Chun still harbored the desire to sit on the Ghost Emperor's throne.
Putting down the book in his hand, just as he was about to speak, a loud voice ca from outside, "Wen Lao, a Ghost Clan traitor has intruded into the Library. Please lend a hand in capturing him!"
Wen Lao's body trembled slightly, and he cast a strange look at Wang Chun. This young Ghost Clan mber he had taken a liking to was actually a Ghost Clan traitor?
Did this an that everything he had said earlier was a deception?
With this thought in mind, Wen Lao's emotions surged, and he exploded in anger. "How dare you! Deceive
like this, utterly ignorant of your own impending doom!"
An enraged Wen Lao unleashed a powerful aura. Just as Wang Chun had guessed, Wen Lao's strength was actually at the level of Small Galaxy Third Order!
It was astonishing to find such a formidable figure within the Ghost Clan. They truly deserved their reputation for having survived for such a long ti in the Underworld! (To be continued...)
