Chapter 555: Chapter 394 Entrusting an Orphan to Wise Mountain (3)_2

Even under the suppression of seven statues of the Evil God.

Could Asina be the descendant of some villager?

Her fingers brushed the pages, it shouldn’t be such a coincidence. Moreover, as Zimmerman had said, after a thousand years, even if there were any descendants left, their lineage would likely have thinned out to almost nothing.

"Six hundred years ago... ah, sorry, my thoughts are a bit jumbled right now, please forgive an old man over a hundred years old."

The notes on the notebook were all jumbled up.

From that messy penmanship, Qin Chu could clearly tell that Zimmerman’s consciousness was somewhat abnormal at that time.

"Six hundred years ago, a predecessor from Wise Mountain encountered a giant heart during his travels outside..."

Qin Chu immediately thought of the one in the Grand Canyon.

"He was shocked by the enormity of the heart, and even more terrified by the horrific energy emanating from it. He lingered around observing and did not approach recklessly, until one day, he saw a dark patch on the heart suddenly fall off."

"That huge chunk of flesh, as if guided by some will, began to move along the ground on its own."

"Eventually, it stopped in a jungle and gave birth to a little girl..."

With this, Qin Chu had no more doubts about Shaye’s origins.

"It was just a newly-born little girl, yet she already terrified the predecessor. She seemed to notice his presence, but clearly did not regard him, then a Level 90, as anything significant."

"In the eyes of that little girl, the Level 90 predecessor and a little rabbit on the ground seemed no different, maybe even less interesting than a cicada perched on a tree trunk."

"It was only after the little girl left that the predecessor realized he was drenched in sweat, and then he stealthily brought back the chunk of flesh that bore the girl to Wise Mountain. After extensive research, they discovered an incredibly powerful energy within the flesh, and unraveling its secrets—or even absorbing it—could turn one into an unprecedented, never-before-seen powerful being."

"Unfortunately, many people died at Wise Mountain, studying the flesh, and it was truly a tragedy."

"But as you know, the more peculiar and dangerous something is, the more a Magician wants to study it; it’s already too late to save them."

"Similarly, for me, unraveling the secrets of this flesh is one of the most critical tasks."

"In this life, I’ve dedicated a great deal of energy to the study of this flesh, even at the expense of my own Magic Power cultivation. Until recently, our research finally made a breakthrough, and through this mysterious flesh, we managed to open a door, a door leading to the Void."

"Although we don’t know what terrifying existence lies within the Void, it has been the dream of our lifetime."

"We will enter the Void in search of secrets hidden for a thousand years..."

"Perhaps we will die there?"

"But for a bunch of old geezers like us, death isn’t so frightening; it’s the unknown that piques our curiosity."

"The only thing I’m worried about is... Nadia."

"My daughter... well, although I’ve never been married, and the twelve of us old geezers couldn’t conjure up a wife collectively, it’s sad to say this myself. By the way, if I had to choose a wife, I would probably pick Empress Mevis of Wozworth; she really is too beautiful, even though I’ve only seen her once on the Emperor’s wedding day."

"In any case, Nadia is the only one we can’t abandon, and I entrust her to you, Mr. Brave, you can take good care of Nadia, right?"

"As for the reward... how about letting Nadia be the payment?"

"So, next, we are about to step into the unknown... the Void. If there is a chance, if there’s still a way to contact you, we will try to inform you of what we know."

"Lastly, please allow me to apologize again for summoning you to this world that you dislike!"

"The door, has been opened."

When Qin Chu read this final passage, he was somewhat stupefied. What was this?

Wise Mountain passing on a legacy?

Though he was somewhat annoyed with Zimmerman and his group of old men, who had deceived him in his second journey, these old men were hardcore.

They knew full well how dangerous the Void was, even to the point of certain death, yet they still voluntarily stepped into that mysterious domain.

Perhaps, they were the ones who truly deserved the title of adventurers.

And that old man Zimmerman, his judgment was particularly harsh, recognizing how much his second-time-around self detested this world.

After securing the notebook in his hands, Qin Chu took a deep sigh.

His eyes turned towards Nadia, a flash of sorrow briefly passing through his gaze.

Nadia’s face was somewhat panicked; she didn’t know what Qin Chu had seen in the notebook, nor did she know what had happened to her twelve masters.

"Nadia, your masters have not died," Qin Chu said.

Nadia took a deep breath of relief, "Then where have they gone?"

Qin Chu’s brow furrowed as he looked up at the dark cave ceiling above him, as if he could see the starry sky through the thick stone walls.

His right hand slowly extended out, as if trying to grasp something.

"Starry sky!"

Whoosh...

A cold wind brushed by.

The black clouds within the cave had completely disappeared.

Even the giant mass of flesh had completely halted on the ground, completely motionless, and just seconds later, it turned into ash and dissipated in the wind.

In its place, there were two completely identical Shaye, even the original distinctions between the real body and the energy body were gone.

At this moment, even Qin Chu could not tell which one was Great Shaye and which was Little Shaye.

But he quickly figured it out.

One of them looked over her body, surveyed the black dress covered in mysterious runes, and the next second, cheered, floating straight towards Qin Chu and leaped onto him, as always with her arms hooked around Qin Chu’s neck.

Overcome with excitement, unable to contain the rush of her emotions, her soft lips planted a kiss on Qin Chu’s mouth, "Qin Chu, my body has recovered."

Behind her, the other Shaye’s body slightly trembled, a crimson blush spreading quickly across her pale cheeks.
