Above The Sky

Chapter 2157 - 61: Final Serenity (Part 2)

"Yingye, you can’t integrate with Humans yourself, yet insist on staying tucked away with those few solitary ’Original Species’ unsuitable for the current environment in your old lair; that’s your problem, not ours."

"No matter whether a ’Human Star God’ will appear in the future or not, as the mother of the human branch that once birthed the ’Fuerst People,’ I will never be audited, and I might even be lauded as a model of racial fusion."

To this, the Master of Yingye retorted: "If you truly believed that, you wouldn’t have come to this place of ours—becoming The Creator does indeed mean one isn’t a savage, but as long as we can carve out a territory, we’re equals; otherwise, in the future, we’ll just be ’Different Races’ under Humans...Yes, The Creator won’t discriminate, but Humans will!"

"Do you truly desire that discriminated future?"

Clearly, no one wanted it.

Even Lady Wilderness, after seeing the Arcane Pathway, was contemplating a new path for her future.

"Alright, alright."

At the moment, on the other side, a white-haired Scholar donning academic robes, who seemed quite bookish, impatiently said: "Among us, Yingye, you’re the most anxious; who doesn’t know about you getting pummeled by the Silverpeak Seer, having the least connection to Humans, and being most afraid of being audited?"

"I’ve been telling you all along, don’t just play alone by yourself; instead, find your position among Humans using your advantages."

"Yes, your position—mascot or research subject?" Yingye sneered coldly: "Who doesn’t know about your good relations with the church, Bai Wo? The Aether Arms Order is your ally, the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits sees you as having propaganda value, the Retrospection Sect considers you the best example of resurrection after death, and don’t even mention Embrace Light—you’re simply their miniaturized kindred!"

With a sarcastic tone, Scholar Baiwo said: "Well spoken! But you’ve been beaten by the Silverpeak Seer!"

"And I am different; I’m now a Spirit Energy Grand Scholar invited by the Supreme Spirit Sect, even though they don’t know my true identity, yet even if it were revealed, I would still be greatly honored."

Seemingly scholarly, ’Bai Wo’ was of course one of the three autonomous Magical Beast Alien leaders, the Fungus King, and also the ancestor of the Undead. Its original civilization was a primitive planet filled with fungi, yet it isn’t truly fungi but rather the ’soul remnants’ left behind after fungi’s death.

Accumulated remnants of too many spiritual fungi deaths formed a unique kind of ’Undead,’ who are far more wise than their original fungus forms ever were, capable of perceiving and understanding the world, and mastering the methods to cultivate better fungi to give birth to better Undead, even making the cultivation itself an act of ’procreation’ in their civilization.

Even when Bai Wo’s original civilization ventured to other planets and discovered other original civilizations, it achieved symbiosis with them—regardless of who or what race they are, all can become Undead after death, a post-mortem civilization far fairer than the corporeal realm, and even machines aren’t exempt; even robots, upon destruction, could potentially have civilization, thus forming the ’Baiwo Star System Alliance,’ representing Baiwo’s origin form.

The three Magical Beast Alien leaders, with Bai Wo collaborating deeply with Humans, exploring technologies concerning ’Undead and Souls,’ slowly reviving multi-civilized racial information within itself, manifesting as Wise Magical Beasts in the Titan Domain.

Lady Wilderness shapes her Beastmaster Bloodline into Sublimation Bloodline, integrating it with Humans, being both the mother of magical beasts and humans, both protector and just nature.

Only Yingye adheres to ’Impure Bloodline means No Bloodline’ and the ’One Drop Rule,’ wholeheartedly aiming to create pure-blood Yingye On Terra; if unable, it would rather remain solitary, not play with Humans, ultimately getting knocked down by Silverpeak Seer and heading home for recovery, with few caring enough to console the Old Ancestor.

Hence, upon learning of the Perpetual Motion Machine’s existence, witnessing Silverpeak Seer nearly proving the Star God, it becomes the most anxious.

Though Yingye seemed criticized by both Wilderness and Bai Wo, appearing somewhat unpopular, in truth, the three ’individuals’ are the most steadfast allies.

Yingye represents the ’Sword of Hostility,’ meant to threaten Humans, warning all Human champions that if Wise Magical Beasts go mad, they are capable of destroying the entire Orderly World.

Wilderness symbolizes ’Good Intentions of Symbiosis,’ Wise Magical Beasts willingly pay the price to coexist with Humans, even willing to relinquish its name—so don’t seek trouble, I’ve conceded this far; if you come to the wilderness to expand, you’re leaving no way out for us, prepare for self-destruct!

Bai Wo stands for ’Fusion of Civilizations,’ like its predecessor, the Baiwo Alliance and Aether Arms Order and Retrospection Sect share an aim, the Great Unity of Intelligent Life, where one faction seeks soul uploading and collaborates with the Ashen King to create an eternal ’Spirit Energy Reincarnation,’ while another aims to convert everyone into ’Undead beings,’ a near-immortal post-mortem existence of ’Man-Made Fine Soul.’

The former naturally lacks much goodwill, yet without the deterrent represented by such force, no Humans would accept subsequent benevolence and fusion, granting Wise Magical Beasts a survival space.

But herein lies the problem: in the face of truly turbulent forces capable of crushing Yingye’s Sixth Echelon, this sword proves ineffectual, leaving them unable to devise any resolutions.
