Chapter 2220  Prophecy Of The Ancestral Spirit

Lin Mu could understand the arrival of the asteroids carrying the Chimeric beasts earlier. They were mostly s.p.a.ced out and their numbers weren"t that high.

But now there was a ma.s.sive cl.u.s.ter of them arriving all at once. It was a number that was far greater than the total number of "Harbinger"s that had landed in the past combined. "Do you think there is external interference?" Lady Kang asked.

"I would have not thought that first, but now it seems likely." Lin Mu replied. "Ziran," he urged the man to read on.

"The Sacred Tear Tribe had lost… over ninety percent of our tribe had been killed in the second great war and those that were left were weak, with a few warriors in between. The Humans had tried to a.s.sist us, but even they had limitations on how much they could help us. A Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal realm expert was a great powerhouse even for them, as such they couldn"t easily spare them.

Only one such expert was sent who combined with our own Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal realm elder fought the three strongest Hrothak. This was the greatest loss for us and that basically doomed us forever for both experts lost. But their effort had still managed to carve out a few areas of safety in the land. But we didn"t know how long these would be safe. The elders decided to cut our losses and knew that we didn"t have many chances left. As such, we decided to attempt some ancient ways… We first set up a graveyard for all the fallen members of our tribe and then Offering Halls to worship them.

Next we sought out the help of ancestors.

A great ceremony was held to call forth the might of the Ancestors." Ziran read the mural that was larger in size compared to others.

On the mural, one could see several sights. The first was that of a ma.s.sive graveyard along with an Offering Hall that looked just like the one they were in. The second was that of a settlement that had been barricaded with barriers, both physical and non-physical in nature.

The third sight was a ma.s.sive Ancestral temple that was at least a six kilometers in area. All the remaining members of the Sacred Tear Tribe seemed to be worshiping the ancestral tablets there.

"We worshipped the ancestor day and night, asking for help nonstop. And yet help was far.

Days turned into months, and months turned into years. The a.s.sault of the Hrothak was delayed due to the safety zones that had been made, but they eventually found us again and started more attacks. With our meager numbers, we managed to hold on for a decade before the barriers finally gave in.

The Hrothak poured in through the shattered barriers and destroyed what little we had left. But just as they were about to reach the Ancestral temple, a ma.s.sive presence was felt.

All the Hrothak that had dared to attack us were turned to dust, while all our tribe members were healed. The ancestors had answered us!" Ziran read with wide eyes.

The others were surprised too as they observed the mural that depicted an Ancestral temple surrounded by the dying chimeric beasts. Above the Ancestral temple, one could see a large figure that was surrounded by a ma.s.s of energy.

The figure was quite vague and as such, one couldn"t tell what it was exactly.

"They managed to summon an Ancestral spirit?" Lin Mu asked.

"Quite possibly… This is exactly how it happens." Ziran replied, being the expert in demons.

The group looked at the last three murals that were remaining.

The first among the three showed the ancestral spirit in better detail. It was that of a giant horned demon with four arms and two wings!

The giant horned demon wiped out all the Hrothak that were around the settlement as well as the three strongest Hrothak. It then seemed to be giving some directives to the Sacred Tear Tribe.

"The Ancestral spirit answered our call and did what we wished for. But he also told us that our fate was not safe in these lands. The Ancestral spirit told us to leave this place and return to our old home in the human world, for our fate would be better there.

We didn"t have much to lose now, thus we decided to accept it. But before that, the Ancestral spirit gave us a few tasks." Ziran read and moved onto the second last mural.

It showed more of the Offering Halls as well as the Chimeric beasts.

"The Ancestral spirit asked us to establish more offering halls as well as graveyards, so that the spirits of the fallen would curse the d.a.m.ned invaders that had hurt us. We did exactly that and prepared to depart from this land. But to do that, we had to ask the humans for help, which was impossible as all sources of contact had been broken off." Ziran read, making the group observe with bated breaths.

They looked at the very last mural that showed the departing demons and the giant figure of the Ancestral spirit that seemed to be saying something.

"The Ancestral spirit helped open a path for us so that we could return to our old home since the humans were uncontactable. And when we were departing, the Ancestral spirit told us a revelation.

The Ancestral spirit prophesied that our struggle here won"t be in waste and that all the Hrothak would pay a grave price for it. He predicated a great expert would one day lay their eyes upon this land and purge it of all the Hrothak.

It would be this very being that would grant us our vengeance.

With this hope, we left our sacred lands for the old home. We know not of what would happen after our departure, or who would arrive in this land.

But we hope that they would be safe and oppose the Hrothak that have defiled these lands." Ziran finished reading it all.
