Chapter 2365: A Removed Piece of History
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ was surprised when he saw how excited she was, but he resisted his urge to ask about it.
Fortunately, Mojard played the perfect supporting role and immediately asked, “Has the first miss recalled something?”
Salamay didn’t give him a single look, and instead looked toward the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ next to her. Her eyes were full of admiration as she said, “Father really had divine strategy and wonderful planning. You actually anticipated all kinds of dangers ahead of time and left behind such well-thought-out arrangements.”
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ was full of curiosity. He'd sensed waves of fluctuations just now, and figured that the true Lord of Slaughter had left some information on it that only his blood daughter could see. He had no idea what kinds of things the Lord of Slaughter had left here, so he didn’t know how to respond to her at all.
As such, he decided to just put on a slight smile and not say anything. After all, in Salamay’s eyes, she would only feel that her father was extremely mysterious. She would thus feel more and more admiration for him.
Ollie couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked to test the waters, “May I ask if the first miss received any instructions from the lord?”
Salamay gave the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ a look. She secretly asked, “Father, can I talk about it?”
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ was struggling to hold down the grin forming at the corners of his mouth. He said in a deep voice, “Those present here are good brothers who have fought through life and death together with us, so of course you can.”
Salamay figured that made sense as well. The subordinates they had brought with them were all the most reliable people, the closest of their trusted aides. As for Donaire’s group, they’d all be dead soon, so she didn’t have to worry about the dead speaking later.
She thus said, “In the past, father left behind a portion of memories in my mind, but it has always been sealed. Only when I touched this treasure were those memories activated.”
She thought about what she had seen, how her father had said in a sincere and heartfelt manner that the fact that she was seeing this meant he was already no longer in this world, and so he explained all sorts of arrangements to her.
It seems father didn’t expect me to bring these people here to save him either.
She couldn't help but smile when she realized that. She continued and said, “In the past, father led a great army from our world to majestically conquer this Cultivation World, thinking it would be a victory that was as easy as any other war waged in the past, but for some reason, the natives of this world were far stronger than we anticipated. That was why both sides ended up in a terrible stalemate.”
The women exchanged a look when they heard that. They could all see the shock in each other's eyes.
The monsters that the dying Monster World had sent were already powerful, to a despair-inducing degree. If not for a hero from the heavens like Zu An, this Cultivation World would’ve already fallen. And yet the most powerful soldiers of the past Monster World had been equally matched by the Cultivation World’s ancestors? Had the Cultivation World really been that strong?
Jiang Luofu suddenly realized something. She'd read extensively in the academy, and had long since realized that something wasn’t quite right. Recorded histories from thousands of years in the past weren't detailed at all, and a lot of records were missing. In the past, she'd even asked her late teacher about that. The late libationer had told her that as time went on, it was very normal for recorded history to disappear. But he'd also pointed out that history from the distant past seemed to have been deliberately hidden by someone as well.
She even remembered the late libationer’s smile as he said that, and how he'd immediately shaken his head and said that could just be his imagination. After all, who in this world had the ability to completely hide a piece of history?
Salamay quickly said, “In the past, father always had a feeling of unrest and set up some plans just in case. Who would’ve thought that things really would end up as he anticipated? We're fortunate to have these plans, as that gives us a chance of making a comeback.”
Ollie said with a bitter smile, “First miss, forgive me for being direct, but I cannot see any hope of making a comeback. Our world is about to be destroyed soon, and the law beacon of this world already has an owner. It would be extremely difficult for us to seize this world.”
“How audacious! Ollie, you dare to make our army’s morale waver?!” Mojard loudly exclaimed.
Salamay raised her hand to stop him. She scanned her surroundings before saying, “What Ollie says is the truth. I'm sure that this is also what many others are thinking.”
Everyone else lowered their eyes, not daring to look straight at her. To be honest, after so many years, they were all already close to giving in to despair. None of them had dared to think too much about that matter. The only reason they still followed Salamay was because of their many years of persistence.
Salamay said, “That’s right. In a normal situation, we indeed wouldn’t have a chance. This Cultivation World is really special. The moment that regent gained possession of the world's authority, it became almost impossible for us to steal back the law beacon…” When she saw their heads drooping even further, she suddenly changed track and continued, “But things are different now. What if we returned to thousands of years ago?”
When Ollie heard that, his eyes lit up as if he'd just realized something. Meanwhile, Mojard and the other monsters all looked up in confusion because they lacked certain specialized knowledge. They didn’t know what she meant.
“First miss, are you referring to that plate?” Mojard couldn't help but ask.
Zu An and the others were also really shocked. They seemed to finally understand why the Lord of Slaughter had left behind these plans.
“That’s right.” Salamay raised the case holding the Nature Jade Plate in her hands. There was a fanatical look in her eyes. as she said, “Father saw far into the future, and used this divine artifact to cut off a segment of history and hide it. That segment of history was none other than the period before our world carried out the decisive battle against this world. Even though we can't seize the present law beacon from the regent’s hands, we can obtain this world’s law beacon from the segment of history thousands of years ago.
“If the law beacon came into our possession in that time period, it would create a kind of ripple effect. The regent’s law beacon would naturally lose effectiveness, while we would become the true owners of this world!”
Everyone present was shocked when they heard what she said.
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ now finally understood the Lord of Slaughter’s real plot, as well as what the Monster Lord had wanted to obtain all this time.
They really know how to use their imaginations!
Jiang Luofu’s breath quickened. The puzzlement that had left her and her teacher confused was finally cleared up. That piece of history hadn’t just been obscured by someone, but rather cut off and hidden. This was unimaginable and completely outrageous!
The other monsters didn’t understand the Nature Jade Plate’s ability. They all stared at the item in Salamay’s hand. Mojard swallowed with difficulty before asking, “First miss, does this object really have such incredible abilities? It could remove a piece of history from thousands of years ago?”
Even though the Monster World was extremely powerful, and they had conquered countless worlds and seen countless treasures, this was still a kind of power that left them all completely shocked.
Salamay grinned. “That’s right. This is an incredible treasure that father encountered in the past, that has the power to reverse time and space. However, I fear it can only be used one last time.”
“One last time…” When he heard that, the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ frowned slightly. However, he quickly calmed himself down. How could something this ridiculously powerful be used at will? Wouldn’t the world then be thrown into absolute chaos?
Just then, he heard Salamay say to him secretly, “Use this chance while everyone is distracted to kill Donaire’s group!”
