Chapter 1121: Chapter 873: The Creator’s Responsibility_2
As soon as Elma captured Landers, Elma immediately thought of this place. That’s why he had meticulously planned all this, trying to bury Long Yi here, but soon after, the return flight of Long Yi’s spaceship proved his action a failure. Although he didn’t know whether Landers was still alive, he at least was certain that this operation was definitely a failure.
"This Long Yi is really tough to deal with," Zulal said.
"Powerhouses, that’s what they call powerhouses," Elma said.
"So what do we do next to deal with him?" Zulal asked Elma.
"Now? We don’t need to do anything now since Long Yi can’t find us," Elma said.
"These are the battle data of those Crazy Demon warriors, but I think it lacks practical significance, because Long Yi used purely physical attacks," Zulal said.
"Which means, in front of Long Yi’s fists, the bodies of the Crazy Demons are very fragile," Elma said.
"If it were you, Long Yi wouldn’t be able to do it, after all, your power is great, but those Crazy Demon warriors, it’s hard to say," Zulal said.
"Knowing this, the deaths of those people have value," Elma said.
Zulal bowed his head, but his heartbeat slowly quickened. He did not agree with Elma’s method, if he wanted to test the strength of Crazy Demon warriors, clearly there were many more ways, but Elma chose this method that was obviously a death sentence, and moreover, dispatched so many people at once. The members of the Ancient Mage Tower were extremely valuable assets; making such decisions and actions knowingly facing certain death against Long Yi was something he found hard to understand.
However, Zulal kept all his thoughts hidden deep within his heart, because he knew very well that such things couldn’t be said, and that Elma was no longer the Elma he used to be.
After Zulal left, Elma took out a fist-sized metal container from his private space. Inside it was Landers’s memory. And the most important Reverse Summoning magic was here, Elma had already learned this magic, but he had no contracted creatures in the middle plane, so this kind of magic was of no use to him. Moreover, even if he had contracted creatures in the middle plane, he wouldn’t dare to summon willy-nilly. He was well aware that although he was strong, once he entered the middle plane, his strength really wouldn’t amount to much. Rather than becoming an obscure small figure in the middle plane, he would prefer to stay here and be the powerhouse that everyone looks up to.
So he really couldn’t understand why Long Yi and Ai Lin would want to go to the middle plane, but adhering to the principle that whatever the enemy wants to do must be stopped, Elma tried everything to prevent Long Yi from leaving. He still lingered on the powerful strength of Long Yi and Ai Lin, and every time Long Yi and Ai Lin achieved a victory, he not only wasn’t angry, but was even more pleased. Because in his view, all these things would sooner or later belong to him!
He looked at the metal container in his hand, mana starting to emanate from his hand. This mana, if released, could instantly destroy the metal container in his hand, causing Landers’s memory to disappear forever. But at this moment, he hesitated; he pondered for a long time and finally dissipated the mana, placing the container back into his private space.
Maybe he would possess it in the future?
If a few years ago, you told a member of the Celestial Clan that they could reclaim the old Imperial City and drive away the Ghost Spirits, that Celestial would surely think you were crazy.
But then Elsa appeared. She gathered all the Ghost Spirits and reclaimed most of the lost land.
If a few months ago, you told a member of the Celestial Clan that the Ghost Spirits were no longer a threat, and that the places occupied by the Ghost Spirits would become tourist attractions, that Celestial would equally think you were crazy.
But Elsa once again stepped forward, and the adventure Holy Land that the old Imperial City had become was a place where all Ghost Spirits would only scare you, not truly attack you.
If Elsa herself came out now and told every Celestial Clan member that from now on, not only would the Ghost Spirits no longer be a threat to the Celestial Clan, but they would also become friends of the Clan, would anyone believe it?
Yes, but not many.
Elsa had already created enough miracles, but miracles are called miracles because such things do not always happen. So when Elsa announced that she had successfully figured out how to transform Ghost Spirits from a semi-energetic life form into a pure physical life form, most people were still skeptical.
A few days later, at the routine morning meeting, Elsa came before everyone with a little girl whose cheeks held a trace of shyness. Everyone wondered what Elsa was up to by bringing such a child. Was she trying to use a child to prove the safety of the Ghost Spirits?
At that moment, Sajia remained silent, having fully learned his lesson that even when Elsa truly showed a flaw, he should not rush to attack because Elsa would surely counterstrike with that very flaw. So he knew that when facing Elsa, one should not rush to speak but wait quietly for the development of events.
The morning meeting began, and everything proceeded in order, but at a brisk pace. Whenever Elsa was involved, the efficiency of the meeting was always much higher than usual. Everyone wanted to know what new scheme Elsa was going to throw out today, especially since she had brought along a little girl. The girl was incredibly cute but seemed timid, probably intimidated by the people around her?
Finally, the routine proceedings came to an end, and Selena turned towards Elsa and asked, "So Elsa, do you have something to announce to everyone today?"
Elsa nodded and then gently patted the little girl’s shoulder in front of her. The girl looked back at Elsa, who gave her an encouraging glance, and the little girl immediately mustered her courage, took a step forward, and said loudly, "Hello everyone! My name is Youyou, and as you can see, I am a newly born Ghost Spirit!"
Almost instantly, the smiles froze on everyone’s faces, and the affectionate expressions of several aunties and uncles locked in place.
"This... this isn’t a joke, is it?" an old Councilor asked.
"No, it’s not a joke, I really am a Ghost Spirit," the little girl said.
"But you look very similar to the Celestial Clan," another Councilor called out.
"Yes, Big Sister Elsa gave us new bodies, reformed our souls, and with new bodies and souls, we are completely different from before. We sustain ourselves by consuming ordinary food and will no longer pose a threat to anyone," the little girl Youyou declared.
The entire hall erupted into chaos.
Elsa glanced around and said, "I’ll give you some time to calm down." With that, she left the hall with Youyou. As soon as Elsa departed, the noise became even more uproarious, with some people still disbelieving, thinking this was just a deception staged by Elsa using a regular Celestial Clan girl, while others, although they believed that the little girl was indeed a reborn Ghost Spirit, still thought that even in such a state, a Ghost Spirit was still a Ghost Spirit. Only a very minority thought that Elsa should be allowed to explain what she really intended to do.
Gradually, all discussions were replaced by this single curiosity.
Indeed, what was Elsa really up to? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
