Chapter 566: Chapter 561: Ji Ning Side Story (Part 1)
"Boom——"
The flames soared to the sky.
Countless rocks and soil were blasted into the air, mixed with blood and severed limbs, scattering all over the ground.
The fire lit up the entire mountain forest, with wails echoing everywhere.
Ji Ning was awakened by the cries of her clansmen.
Where is this?
Is this the world of the dead?
But before she could think more, she saw her parents trapped under a slab.
"Dad, Mom——"
Ji Ning was shocked, instantly jumping up from the ground, rushing to the slab.
She exerted herself to lift the slab, only to find her hands passed through it.
She was in a spiritual body state...
Ji Ning stared at her hands in shock, which were still marked by the wounds from the Divine Trial.
But the wounds had already healed, leaving white scars.
Did she actually die?
Is that why she is reliving the memories of her life, and seeing the family buried in her heart?
But why now?
Why let her experience this heart-wrenching pain again?
To let her watch her family and clansmen die again, powerless.
Why?
Why treat her this way?
Ji Ning clenched her fists tightly, her silvery white pupils turning increasingly red.
Until a strange voice suddenly rang out.
"Damn it, late again."
Ji Ning looked up and saw a strange woman standing not far from the clan’s territory.
Wearing a dark green combat suit, looking very much like a nearby base’s warrior.
"Mom, don’t worry, I detected there is still one survivor."
Beside the woman, suddenly a virtual image of a little boy appeared.
His eyes glowed red, seemingly scanning the Ji Clan Territory.
The woman’s eyes lit up slightly, immediately asking, "Where?"
"Under that slab. If not treated quickly, she might die too."
The woman immediately ran to the slab, exerting force to lift it, while complaining, "This body is really weak."
"Mom, you are lucky enough to possess a female warrior’s body when you first traversed this universe with a divine soul."
"True. Kaka, help out quickly!"
In Ji Ning’s shock, the little boy turned into an automatic hoist, wedged by the woman into the slab gap.
With the slab pried open, the woman lifted Ji Ning’s father and mother off her, gently placing them aside.
"Kaka, save her quickly."
"Okay, Mom."
The little boy turned into a medical kit, administering medication to little Ji Ning.
After a series of treatments, little Ji Ning, who was almost out of breath, finally regained a steady breathing.
"Mom, she’ll wake up soon. Your body has been out too long, return to your unit or it might affect her."
The woman nodded slightly, bending down to pick up the dead father and mother, placing them beside little Ji Ning, and covered them with a very light bamboo board so she could crawl out smoothly, also propping up one side with stones.
But back then, she didn’t notice such details at all.
Ji Ning pursed her lips, immediately following the woman, also an intruder.
The woman, identified as a warrior from Jiuming Mountain, trudged back to the camp through a certain path.
"Kaka, rebellion must have occurred here, that little girl can’t survive alone, got to find someone reliable to protect her growing up safely."
"Don’t worry Mom, I’ve hacked into the communication system here, found a Jiuming Mountain officer will dispatch a car sending his father and son to Nanling, just passing by there..."
"What does he do? How’s his character?"
"Can’t assess character, but he’s a medical university professor, served in the military, just reenlisted as a military doctor. His wife died years ago, now lives with the grandson, has experience with kids."
The woman pondered for a moment, saying: "Then it’s him, guide him to the girl, see if he’ll take her."
"Yes, Mom. And if he doesn’t take her?"
"Then guide the girl to our base, we’ll take her first."
"Understood, Mom."
Ji Ning saw the little boy instantly turning into a small aircraft, flying out.
She immediately followed the boy.
Since being bound to this planet, she discovered she had teleporting ability, even in spiritual form, she could still teleport.
In almost no time, she reached the place where little Ji Ning was.
Seeing her weaker self burying the clansmen, leaving the clan territory with the clan’s lineage record entrusted by the clan leader.
And that little boy always guided her to the riverside through various means like obstructing her with big trees whenever she reached the next intersection.
Then, he flew to the vehicle where the old professor rode, deliberately raising the temperature inside, making the grandson feel thirsty.
Dotingly looking after his grandson, the old professor had to get off the car to find water.
The boy repeated the trick, guiding the professor and his grandson to the riverside where she was, making them meet as if destined.
Until little Ji Ning was taken away by the old professor did he safely leave.
Ji Ning followed the boy back to the woman, seeing her already in a vehicle heading to the front line.
When she wanted to follow again, she found her body immovable, a tremendous Power of Space-Time pulling her somewhere, and when she opened her eyes again, she appeared in front of a camp in the Nanling Region, six months later.
Little Ji Ning was sleeping in a tent right before her.
And the woman and the boy were also in this camp.
"Mom, you’ve been here too long, we must leave soon."
"Kaka, this camp is unsafe, could be hit by artillery at any time, she needs to be in a safer place."
"Mom, it’s not feasible. Professor Li is a military doctor, can’t leave easily."
The woman frowned in thought for a long time, finally turning her gaze to the boy, "Leave one of your avatars to protect her. You’ve been out for so long without cosmic rule warnings, indicating this place can accommodate advanced civilization items."
The boy seemed worried, "Mom, I think I haven’t been warned because I didn’t use technology exceeding this civilization’s limits, plus due to your identity, the cosmic rules defaulted my presence, but if you leave, my avatar might be obliterated by the cosmic rules."
"Make her the master, bind her genes, maybe it won’t be obliterated?"
"Not sure, but worth a shot."
"First give her the avatar, then find a chance to bind her genes."
"Mom, what form should my avatar take for her?"
The woman thought for a moment and replied: "In these chaotic times, a ring or bracelet is too conspicuous, make it earrings. I noticed she has pierced ears, wearing them will be covered by her hair, unnoticed."
Then, the boy’s hand suddenly produced a pair of ordinary earrings, "Mom, will these do? They have self-defense capabilities, can automatically absorb energy and convert energy types, most importantly, every time she receives treatment, it further enhances her body’s strength, hastening her to the Quasi-God Realm physique."
"Not bad, kid, you are getting more considerate."
"Of course, Mom, it’s not easy to encounter a tribesman, as long as she becomes this universe’s destined Son of God quickly, you can complete your mission."
A faint smile finally appeared on the woman’s face, "It’s not just for the mission."
"I understand, also want to find more fellow clansmen."
The woman raised her hand as if to pat the boy’s hair, "Give me the earrings."
Ji Ning watched as the woman hurried to the medical tent where the old professor was, handing him the pair of earrings.
"Professor Li, thank you for treating my injuries earlier, I’m heading to the front line soon, not sure if it’s life or death. This is something from my mother, give it to your granddaughter. May it bless her to grow up safely."
