CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 421 OBEDIENCE TO THE BEAST GOD’S COMMAND_1

Si Yan looked at Ming Jiu and asked, "Brother, do you recognize what this is?"

Ming Jiu gently closed his eyes and lifted his head slightly, his chest trembling lightly.

"It’s a Soul Fragment."

He thought back to the Golden Dragon Tribe, to the first time he had seen little Si Yan break free from her shell. Back then, he had been carrying the Spiritual Pearl, filled with the memories and longing of their kin. When it shattered beside Si Yan, he believed all hope of resurrecting his family had vanished. He had believed that his kin, to atone for their countless wrongs and awaken his conscience, had transformed into that gentle stream of light, intertwining with the young Si Yan to protect her. It was because of this that he had poured all his yearning for familial affection onto Si Yan. He had even abandoned the hope of ever resurrecting his own kin. Yet now, unexpectedly, he held the Soul Fragments of his own children in his hands. And unexpectedly, it was Si Yan who had brought them back to him.

Ming Jiu rarely lost his composure.

"Si Yan. I’m sorry. I’m sorry."

Si Yan was slightly startled; she could roughly guess whose Soul Fragments these were.

Ming Jiu, holding the Spiritual Pearl, uncontrollably embraced Si Yan tightly. He bowed his head, burying it in Si Yan’s shoulder as he trembled, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry."

He shouldn’t have wanted your life from the start, much less sent you to the Beast World for his own benefit. Both he and Ming Ji called themselves utterly sinful, but their greatest transgression was exploiting you when you were just born. All the suffering you endured was because of him. What had he done? Oh, what had he done?

"I’m sorry..."

Ming Jiu’s heart ached with sharp pains.

Neither he nor Ming Ji had ever asked Si Yan for forgiveness. Because they had never forgiven themselves.

Si Yan felt a warm dampness on her shoulder.

Her heart also trembled slightly. This was the first time, across both her past and present lives, that she had seen her elder brother cry.

She gently patted her brother’s shoulders, which suddenly didn’t seem so broad, and comforted him in a soft voice, "It’s good that we’ve found them. Since Shangguan Xiao was able to find my nephew’s and niece’s Soul Fragments here, perhaps even my sister-in-law’s soul, and the souls of our parents, are still out there. Brother, don’t be anxious. Now that I recognize what these are, I’ll help you search for them."

「...」

Beastmen of all tribes were recuperating in their respective territories. Priests and Witch Doctors shuttled back and forth to the Delusional Domain to communicate with Si Yan, then continued to reinforce their defenses.

However, these preparations had barely lasted two days when the sky over the entire Beast World suddenly plunged into darkness.

Si Yan immediately walked out of her cave, gazing at the oppressive, blood-tinged layers that filled the sky.

She stated, "They’re here."

Ming Jiu and Long Ze stood on either side of her. Behind her stood Tai Seng, Yin Hong, She Ying, She Chuan, and other Beastmen.

"Has the inheritance not ended yet? Have the cubs not emerged?" Si Yan asked.

She Ying shook his head. "Not yet. But it should be soon, within a day or two."

Si Yan nodded and said to a priest beside her, "Disperse and notify all cities to prepare for battle."

"Yes!"

Long Ze, an elder Beast God after all, sensed the state of the entire Beast World and said, "Granddaughter, they’ve broken through the Beast World’s innate defenses. Heavenly Soldiers are now falling into the Beast World."

Si Yan asked, "Where are their landing points?"

Long Ze replied, "Near White Eagle City."

Si Yan commanded, "She Ying, choose a thousand snake Beastmen and come with me to White Eagle City!"

She Ying replied, "Yes!"

The sky above White Eagle City had turned pitch-black, heavy and oppressive, as if on the verge of collapsing.

The Beastmen of White Eagle City, along with those who had assembled from nearby areas, felt successive waves of terror and unease.

Atop a tall tree, a lone White Eagle Beastman stood, his plumage buffeted by the wild winds. In his white eyes, his pupils transformed into squares and began to rotate.

These piercing eyes seemed to be attempting to see through the past, present, and future.

However, the future of this battle, one that transcended the divine level, seemed to be veiled by something, making it incredibly difficult to perceive.

With his appearance, the Beastmen seemed to find their pillar of support, and the anxious crowds settled down one by one.

The Beastmen cried out anxiously, "High Priest, why has the sky torn? What’s happening to the sky?"

"It seems like something is falling from the sky outside!"

"Heavens, High Priest, what on earth is going on?"

Bai Feng lowered his head, his white, square-pupiled eyes fixed on the Beastmen before him. He calmly explained the current situation, "The sky has indeed torn. Enemies from beyond our realm are invading the Beast World, and their breach point is right outside White Eagle City!"

The Beastmen screamed in shock, "What?!"

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and declared, "Everyone, do you trust the Beast God?"

The Beastmen roared, "We absolutely trust the Beast God!"

"Not a single citizen of the Beast World lacks faith in the Beast God!"

The Beast World was a realm of profound faith.

They had only one god, the Beast God, yet every single Beastman worshipped Him!

Their faith was destined to coalesce into a formidable power!

Bai Feng soared into the air, his feathers flaring out, his white eyes scanning the tens of thousands of Beastmen within White Eagle City.

He declared with boundless dominance, "Demons from beyond our realm intend to violate the Beast World. Will you defend it?!"

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

Bai Feng cried out sharply, "By the Beast God’s command, all Beastmen, unite as one and defend the Beast World! Fight!"

The Beastmen bellowed, "Fight!"
