CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 297: IN THE DEPTHS OF THE TEMPLE (KAVEN, THE UPDATE IS SLOW, SORRY)

Big White, is it really that powerful? Yang Qizhou was a bit surprised.

He had always thought that Big White, with its snow-white fur, palm-sized body, and childlike innocent voice, was just a harmless mascot. He never expected that Big White’s inherent traits could make the pollution of the ’Desolate Mother’ feel fear.

"Makes sense..."

"Although this little creature looks deceptive on the outside, its origins are incredibly shocking. It’s the child of the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ and me, the great future Lord of Blasphemy. Its birth is also intricately tied to the fall of the ’Beauty’ pillar."

Thinking about this, Yang Qizhou didn’t find it strange anymore.

He took a bottle of cola from Lin Xiyu’s room, took a heavy sip, and grew curious about what expressions Lena and Sera would have upon seeing this scene.

It would surely be quite amusing.

...

"The dark and evil aura retreated like a tide. As ’Big White’ stepped onto the Sacrificial Altar, an empty space emerged beneath your feet."

"But that’s not all."

"The once soft and adorable Big White now appeared incredibly majestic, rolling forward like a tyrant inspecting its domain. With every step it took, the pollution of the ’Desolate Mother’ backed off two or three further steps, as if avoiding a deadly plague."

"After a while, perhaps growing irritated, Big White shouted in its baby-like but fierce voice... Hurry up and scram!"

"Swish!"

"The dark and evil aura instantly vanished without a trace. The Sacrificial Altar, which had been suffused with eerie terror capable of inducing pregnancy, visibly returned to normal."

"It ended just like that? You were a bit shocked. Although you’d guessed Big White was extraordinary, in your mind you’d envisioned the little creature advancing step by step, with you and Lena and Sera carefully following behind, cautiously probing further. You’d never imagined it would be so direct and decisive."

"The Desolate Mother’s pollution dissipated just like that. Am I dreaming? A trembling voice arose, and you saw Sera’s gemstone-like pure eyes widen, filled with disbelief."

"Lena was equally shocked, her expression struggling to maintain its usual composure, as she asked... Explorer from the Otherworld, your child, what on earth is it."

"That’s also what I want to know."

"Internally, you were rendered speechless, surprised that ’Big White’ had displayed such overwhelming force, scaring off the ’Desolate Mother’s’ pollution as if chastising a child. Wanting to maintain a sense of dignity, you decided to act as though everything had been within your expectations, adopting a mysterious tone to gloss over the situation."

"But before you could say anything,"

"Big White’s wary voice suddenly rang out first... Dad, don’t forget you’re a married man."

"Married man?"

"Lena and Sera exchanged glances, tacitly ending that line of conversation."

"This little creature is doing it on purpose, you couldn’t help but glare at it fiercely, thinking to yourself... I was just trying to act cool, not cheat. Besides, I’m not even that kind of ’close’ with the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility,’ and even if anything happened with ’Lena’ or ’Sera,’ you’d still have no grounds to interfere, you little brat."

"Despite the complaints in your heart, you knew the journey ahead still required Big White to suppress the ’Desolate Mother’s’ pollution. You could only swallow your grievances toward the little rascal."

"As the pollution receded, you stepped onto the Sacrificial Altar belonging to the ’Holy Light Ancient God.’"

"’Big White’ jumped onto your shoulder, rolling around and looking as soft and cute as ever. However, you couldn’t shake the feeling that it harbored significant hostility toward ’Lena’ and ’Sera.’"

"You kept moving forward,"

"You continued to press on,"

"Soon, you reached the depths of the ’Sacrificial Altar.’ Before you stood an imposing temple, over twenty meters tall, supported by hundreds of columns, inlaid with gold, constructed in an exceedingly grand manner."

"This was the ’Holy Light Ancient God’s Holy Temple,’ the place where the deity had once resided."

"A realization surfaced in your mind."

"Suddenly, a terrifying scream echoed from the corner. Hoarse and filled with distortion, a figure appeared shortly afterward. His sharply pointed ears, pale skin, deep blue ceremonial robes, and large sword in hand were striking, but his stomach had long been torn open, as if something had burst out of it."

"The Lam Priest..."

"Sera gasped, her face betraying an unmistakable grief."

"Another Elf, likely from the group of Temple Warriors Sera had mentioned before—those who had ventured to the ’temple’ to investigate the mystery surrounding the Holy Light Ancient God’s fall. Judging by his appearance, it was clear he’d been a victim of the ’Desolate Mother’s’ corruption, impregnated with a creature."

"You couldn’t help but silently mourn this poor soul."

"At that moment, the heavily corrupted ’Lam Priest,’ now reduced to a mindless husk, seemed to notice your presence. His aggressive intent surged uncontrollably. With a sudden push-off from the ground, the earth cracked beneath him, and his entire body launched like a missile, hurtling toward you with a deafening noise."

"But the next second, he saw ’Big White’..."

"He abruptly halted, momentum causing him to stumble and fall. The sound of bones snapping echoed, and his legs twisted into unnatural shapes. His gray, lifeless eyes filled with terror as he desperately crawled backward, his aggression dissipating like a retreating tide."

"You, who had been prepared to defend yourself, silently lowered your hands and turned to ask... Miss ’Sera,’ what do you intend to do?"

"For the Guardian ’Sera,’ this was clearly a tough decision. You had expected her to deliberate for quite some time. Instead, within just two breaths, she acted decisively."

"Sera produced a scroll, slowly unfurling it. White-hot flames engulfed the ’creature,’ and amidst its anguished wails, it quickly turned to ashes."
