Chapter 4119 Descendants of God
"After the family tragedy, my teacher took me to meet one of his friends, a man named Yi Gui who was skilled at shaping destiny."
He said that my family suffered a great calamity, and I was the only one who survived, which must have used up a lot of my luck.
"At this time, I am in a period of bad luck. If I don't rebuild a new foundation for my fortune immediately, it is very likely that misfortune will turn against me."
"So, the teacher asked him for a purified four-leaf clover offering as the foundation for my reconstructed fortune."
During the years he trained under his teacher, he carried this four-leaf clover offering almost every day.
Although Kaiya didn't truly perceive the effects of "fortune," his life was indeed relatively peaceful during those years. At least, he didn't suffer any other misfortunes.
But does this have anything to do with the crystallized four-leaf clover? Kaeya himself doesn't know.
After that, the teacher disappeared.
Kaiya did not remove the four-leaf clover offering until he discovered that his teacher was in the God Slayer Division. During the period when he tried to infiltrate the God Slayer Division by using the aura of the blood child, he often disguised himself and was arrested by the enforcement team.
The four-leaf clover offering was taken down in order to play different roles.
But it was locked in a treasured box.
Unexpectedly, it was stolen this time...
"But it doesn't matter. Although it has some sentimental value for me, it has no other practical use besides its sentimental value."
Kaiya paused for a moment: "So, you don't need to worry about it too much. Let's get back to..."
Before Kaiya could finish speaking, Mud Lord interrupted him.
Did you lose anything else?
Kaiya shook her head: "No."
“Nothing else is missing, but the four-leaf clover offering is the only one that’s gone. That’s obviously not right,” Mud Lord said. “Although I didn’t see their faces, I’m sure more than one person entered this room.”
"So many people ransacked the place, but they didn't take anything else, only choosing the four-leaf clover as an offering. This means that it has some special meaning for that group of people."
Therefore, in Mud Lord's view, the four-leaf clover offering was definitely not just an ordinary offering as Kaeya claimed.
“But that four-leaf clover offering was really just an ordinary offering.” Kaeya naturally understood this, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn’t figure out what function the four-leaf clover offering had ever played.
"Could it be that the four-leaf clover offering is not an ordinary offering, but a hidden gem?" Wine Cup wondered.
Such situations, where a pearl is covered in dust, are actually not uncommon.
Take, for example, Ingres's Dream Conch. It was in this situation from the beginning. Everyone thought it was trash, but when it met its "enlightened master"—Ingres—it began to shine brightly.
So, the wine glass wonders if the four-leaf clover offering might also be like that?
Upon hearing this, Kaiya shook his head: "I am, after all, a noble, and I can judge the level of the offerings. The four-leaf clover offering is definitely an ordinary offering, there is no doubt about that."
As for the so-called "pearls covered in dust," Kaiya doesn't believe it.
Mysterious objects may be hidden from view, but the properties of sacrificial offerings are not as variable as those of mysterious objects; they are a constant "quantity".
The quantity of ordinary sacrificial offerings is fixed and cannot be increased beyond a certain level.
“During the period when I was training with my teacher, I always wore the four-leaf clover offering, and it was always hanging around my neck. I never deliberately hid it.”
There are many nobles in Yungang City, and since Kaiya goes out every day, someone must have noticed her.
But no one ever coveted his four-leaf clover offerings, which actually proves that in the eyes of those nobles, four-leaf clover offerings really meant nothing.
"If the four-leaf clover offering is really as ordinary as you say, then why did that group of people deliberately take it away?" Mud Duke asked, puzzled.
Kaiya shook his head; he couldn't explain it either.
"Perhaps they think that crystallized four-leaf clover offerings look expensive and can fetch a good price?"
Kaiya himself realized something was off after saying that. Although his container home wasn't big, it contained quite a few things that "looked expensive."
If that group of people were after money, why did they only take four-leaf clover offerings instead of other items? This clearly shows that they had a "clear objective."
"Could it be that they're trying to trace something back through the four-leaf clover offering?"
Kaiya immediately thought of his teacher, since it was his teacher who had obtained this item for him.
But thinking about it carefully, the teacher didn't handle this four-leaf clover offering... Could it be that it was to trace back to that noble destiny?
Kaiya was completely confused.
After all, he didn't see who entered his home with his own eyes, so he couldn't make any further guesses.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. That offering really isn't anything..." Kaeya was too lazy to think about it anymore.
However, Mud Lord and the others felt that this matter was quite unusual.
Before today, Kaeya had never lost anything, but as soon as she came into contact with them, the four-leaf clover offering was lost.
Did their misfortune affect Kaiya? Or was it that a chapter of misfortune unique to Kaiya had begun, and they, as unfortunate participants, happened to be involved in his story?
"Perhaps you think the offerings are insignificant, but you should be aware that your home was broken into." The wine glass continued, "You weren't there this time, avoiding direct contact with them; but what if they come again next time?"
Kaiya's home is right here; there's no way she can escape.
Therefore, the situation described by the wine glass is not impossible.
Kaiya: "Maybe they just want to talk to me?"
The wine glass said irritably, "If they dared to pick the lock, they couldn't possibly have come with good intentions. If you were to encounter them head-on this time, it's highly likely that a physical altercation would occur, if not 100% certain."
"So in my opinion, either you find a way to completely resolve this matter and clarify the origins and purposes of this group of people; or you find a way to get away from here immediately, because this home is no longer safe."
Kaiya also knew that although what the wine glass said was something that had not happened, it was not an exaggeration.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The only people who know about this place are my teacher and two of my friends."
"The teacher left a long time ago, so she probably doesn't care about what's going on here. If someone did leak information, it might be from my two friends... I'll ask them later..."
Na shook her head: "If it really was your friend who revealed it, wouldn't you be walking into a trap if you went to them?"
"My advice is to move immediately."
"After you've settled yourself in, then investigate your two friends. And don't make a big fuss about it; it's best to investigate secretly."
Kaiya thought about it and realized it made sense.
Even if you want to investigate this matter, you shouldn't put yourself in danger.
Thinking of this, Kaiya said, "I have another residence in Moranti Town, which no one knows about. You can move there first."
Having decided to temporarily evacuate, Kaiya stopped hesitating and immediately began packing her luggage.
He said he was packing his luggage, but in reality he was just packing some things needed to set up the ritual formation.
As for other daily necessities, the homes in Moranti Town have them, and even if they don't, they're not expensive to buy.
The others were initially prepared to help, but when they saw that Kaiya was packing up some "ritual items," they quietly stepped aside.
Even if one is not of noble birth, one would not recognize these ritual objects.
After tidying up her belongings, Kaiya looked at the "purification array" on the wall.
He planned to remove the purification array and take it with him.
But before taking him away, he turned to look at Mud Lord: "How about we purify the blood essence on your body first?"
Mud Duke thought about it and still refused.
While leaving the aura of the bloodline on one's body carries risks, it might also bring new possibilities.
Moreover, he had already learned from Na about everyone's experiences on their trip, and they would be going to Vampire Town and Dream Beast Town to conduct investigations.
If there really are people from the Divine Faction there, Nijue thought that perhaps they could be lured out by the aura of the Blood Child.
Seeing that Nijue was determined not to purify, Kaiya could only respect his opinion.
After removing the purification array from the wall, Kaiya packed all her luggage, took one last look at her container home, and then left with everyone.
……
After giving Nijue the "Purple Egg", the group set off.
Because Mud Lord had not purified the blood essence from his body, Kaiya had to replan his route to Moranti Town, avoiding crowded places as much as possible.
Especially in places where Yi Gui (a mythical creature) frequents, you must stay away.
Fortunately, Kaiya, being a local, was very familiar with the roads in the nearby towns. She knew exactly where the crowds were and where they were sparse.
After planning their route, they proceeded without encountering any crowds.
This made everyone gradually relax.
The wine glass then brought up the topic that had been left unresolved earlier.
"You just said that you've already guessed the identity of that high-ranking being?"
Kaiya, who had been observing his surroundings, perked up his ears immediately upon hearing the wine glass's words. After looking around to make sure no one was nearby, he nodded slightly and said, "I guessed it."
"I was planning to talk about this after I got home, but..."
Kaiya paused for a moment: "We're about to enter the territory of Moranti Town. We'll first go into the old town, where almost no one goes."
"I'll tell you when we get there."
Kaiya was still hesitant to discuss that person's identity openly. Although there was no one around at the moment, there were always eavesdroppers.
So, let's go to the old town of Moranti first, since it's basically a no-man's land.
Before long, after passing through a dirty underground alley, they emerged from the ground and arrived at the old town of Moranti.
In the town of Yunbian, although they walked through alleys with few people, they could still vaguely see brightly lit buildings and lights in the distance.
But when they entered the old town of Moranti, they were immediately plunged into darkness. Apart from the blurry outlines of the buildings illuminated by the moonlight, not a single light could be seen.
Upon arriving here, Kaiya stopped searching for alleyways and instead walked directly onto the main street.
Even the main streets were deserted.
If it weren't for the fact that they could still see the lights of other border towns that hadn't yet sunk below the horizon from here, they might even have wondered if they were in a ghost town.
"Is there no one here?" Mud Duke asked in confusion.
Kaiya nodded: "That's how it is in the old town, after all, a major event happened here..."
Mud Duke looked puzzled, but Wine Cup and the others seemed to have figured something out.
They had seen a headline in an old newspaper earlier—
Dawn Breaks: The Godslayers End Their Silence and Call for Light in the Town of Moranti
"Silent Operation?!"
Kaiya nodded and said softly, "Yes, a massive Silence Operation took place here three years ago, which resulted in thousands of residents becoming the living dead."
"Since then, this place has become what is now known as the 'Old Town'."
“All the residents have moved to the new city, and the old city is completely deserted.”
After all, anyone who has witnessed the silent sacrificial ceremony will feel a deep-seated fear of the religious sects.
Even after the law enforcement team and the God Extermination Division issued solemn statements declaring that the old city was completely safe, no one dared to stay there any longer.
The darkness of reality can be dispelled, but psychological shadows are hard to erase.
Except for a few audacious individuals or those who were destitute, everyone else moved away.
Looking at the silent old town, the crowd wasn't too afraid; in fact, they were quite hoping the Divine Religion faction would appear. However, they also knew that since the silence had already occurred, the Divine Religion faction was unlikely to show up again.
The surroundings were too quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps, each step and pause seemingly in sync with the rhythm of their heartbeats.
Although it wasn't Kaiya's first time visiting the old town, she still felt the eeriness of the "silence."
He coughed softly and said slowly, "Regarding the high-ranking beings you mentioned earlier, I initially thought they were top-tier nobles. But later, when you said its shape was... a six-pointed star..."
"I think I know who He is."
"He?" Kaeya's sudden change in pronoun startled everyone.
Kaiya said slowly and deliberately, "If you go to the inner city of Cloud Harbor, you will see a huge luminous device in the central square. The area covered by the light will block even the red moon from entering."
"And the source of this luminous device is a nine-pointed star statue, which represents... the creator god."
Not only were people in the wine glasses speechless, but the "viewers" watching the live stream were also silenced by this answer.
“The nine-pointed star represents the creator god, so the six-pointed star…” The wine glass looked at Kaeya.
In a low voice, barely audible, Kaiya said slowly, "The six-pointed star represents... the descendants of the creator god."
The crowd was so shocked by the answer that they remained silent for a long time.
Finally, Kaiya broke the silence: "Of course, this is just my guess. After all, I have never seen the high-ranking being you are talking about."
"But with a multi-pointed star shape and indescribable divine abilities, the only one I can think of is a descendant of the creator god."
At this point, Kaiya frowned slightly: "However, as far as I know, the descendants of the creator god have been living on the night moon and have not descended for a long time."
"But you actually saw Him through the bond... Could it be that He has descended upon Dream Harbor once again?"
