Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 34 The History of the Orcs

"What...what happened next?" Qiu Ci was shocked by his own guess.

"Later, the conflict between the Beast Tribe and the New Beast Tribe grew ever more intense. The New Beast Tribe no longer acknowledged their own identity as Beast Tribe and even stopped obeying the orders of their Azure Dragon Lord." "The New Beast Tribe completely broke with the Beast Tribe and left the Holy City for the mainland. There has been no further contact between the two."

“…” As expected! The people of the continent today are the descendants of the new beast tribe.

"Originally, we shared a common origin with them, but seven thousand years ago, the continent's isolation formation suddenly began to weaken. Lord Azure Dragon took the initiative to seek aid from the new beast tribe on land." Anger flashed in Xi's eyes, and his voice grew heavy. "But there has been no response from them. After so many years, except for the elders of the beast tribe, the new beast tribe has long forgotten their origins. They no longer even believe in the legends of Blue Star and regard our race as alien."

Qiu Ci thought carefully. Tens of thousands of years have passed. Who knows how many generations of new beastmen who have no spiritual roots and cannot practice have been replaced. Those with spiritual roots cannot live that long. History that is not recorded by anyone will naturally disappear. On the contrary, the beastmen still retain some legends because of their long lifespan.

"The Lord feared a return of the foreigners, aiming to slaughter our people once more. He ultimately assembled the eleven elders and used all their strength to rebuild the formation." Xiong looked at the stone statue before him again, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Due to the formation's influence, the Holy City was sealed off, and the remaining beastmen were forced to leave their homes and settle in this sea. Now, after so many years, I wonder how many of our tribe remain."

So, is this the reason why the city has become deserted? She looked up at the stone statues. It turned out that they were not ordinary stone statues, but because the ritual formation had drained all its power, they became like this.

I inexplicably think of those people on the continent today who are pursuing the awakening of powerful bloodlines. Back then, the beastmen dreamed of transforming into the Dao body. Now that they have forgotten history, they are instead pursuing the powerful bloodlines of the beastmen. To some extent, this can be considered a step backward.

I finally understand why Chinese exists on this continent, and why there are cultivation manuals like "Three Years of Golden Elixir, Five Years of Simulation." These must be the most suitable cultivation methods left by Blue Star for these creatures.

Back then, Blue Star created them using the genes of the beastmen. Perhaps they just felt that the beastmen were dying out, so they created a race connected to them by blood, so that they could stand shoulder to shoulder with them to resist foreign enemies after they left. Unexpectedly, the foreign enemies didn't come, but they fell out among themselves.

But it is not clear why Chinese became magic language, and how Blue Star went from being an ally to a demon clan.

"By the way, what about the young master you just mentioned?" Qiu Ci asked.

The mention of this incident made the scoundrel grow increasingly furious, his hair standing on end in anger. "About a thousand years ago, someone suddenly broke into the Holy City with a special magical weapon. My remaining soul happened to be asleep at the time, and I was not careful enough to let that thief enter the hall and take away the young master who had not yet hatched."

Qiu Ci looked at the empty groove in the middle of the pool again. Was there originally an egg there?

"After the master sacrificed the great formation, he used up his last bit of strength to leave this egg. The young master was born with a deficiency, and for thousands of years, he had to be kept in this holy water to be nurtured. Now, he has been taken away for many years, and I don't know how many dangers he has encountered." The remnant soul looked worried, and suddenly bent his four hooves and knelt towards her. "My remnant soul cannot leave the Holy City. Lord Lanxing, since you have responded to my tribe's request for help, please save our young master. The young master is our beast tribe's only hope."

When the young master was taken away, Xiongni activated the magic weapon in the city to ask for help from Blue Star. However, over the years, the clan's request for help had never been responded to. Unexpectedly, he got it this time.

"Don't." Qiu Ci subconsciously wanted to help the beast in front of him up, but he lifted nothing. Then he remembered that it was a soul. "You get up first. I promised to help, so I won't ignore it."

She finally persuaded the remnant soul and learned some information about the egg. Unfortunately, she didn't get any useful information. She could only take some of the remaining genetic fluid in the pool to see if the system could analyze anything.

The monkey said that when the former Azure Dragon re-sacrificed the formation, he had said that the isolating formation might weaken again, and then only the remaining egg would be able to strengthen the formation again. So for so many years, its remaining soul had been guarding the egg, but it didn't expect that it would be stolen before it could hatch.

Qiu Ci pondered this. Since this isolation array was left behind by Blue Star, it must be Blue Star technology. Perhaps it didn't require the young master in the egg to strengthen it. So she inquired about the city's situation. With the help of her living, or rather, semi-living, guide, Hou Xi, she quickly gained a complete understanding of the city's situation. As expected, this underwater city was also brimming with Blue Star technology.

Although after so many years of baptism, many facilities have become obsolete, and even the monkeys are not clear about their specific functions, but overall they are still well preserved.

It didn't take long for Qiu Ci to find the control center of the city. However, compared to the research base, there was no intelligent control system like the main brain here. She didn't know where to start for a while, and she was not sure whether there was a program to control the isolation formation. She could only let the dog system come in.

Thinking of this, she contacted the dog system in her mind.

"System, what's going on outside? Is the little socially anxious kid safe?"

[Don't worry, Master! Everything is fine!]

Qiu Ci didn't waste any time. He said hello to the monkey and flew upwards on his sword. Half a minute later, he passed through the layer of light.

Suddenly, a bright red light appeared in front of my eyes. The dazzling fiery red color illuminated the entire seabed. A huge monster appeared in front of me, as huge as an active volcano erupting, with magma flowing all over its body. Countless lava tentacles were twisting and waving under its huge body, as if it could kill a large number of living people in one go.

And there are more than one giant beast like this. There are two... three... four... huge monsters squatting next to the volcano. Their identities are unclear.

They have different shapes, but without exception they are astonishingly huge.

Qiu Ci's mouth twitched fiercely, and he turned around and glared at the small ball of light above someone's head, "Is this what you call a sure thing?!" What's the sure thing? They are clearly surrounded by monsters!

(╬￣俣)=○

"Chu... Senior Chu!" The little social-phobic kid squatting nearby called out to him when he saw him come out, his voice trembling. This time it was not a case of social phobia, but he was really nervous, even his peripheral vision was fixed on the group of monsters.

[Master, don't worry. I've already talked to them. They just want to see you and won't attack us.]

"What?" Qiu Ci was stunned. What does that mean?
She took a closer look and found that these monsters had no intention of attacking. They all stayed where they were, their eyes, bigger than a basketball court, staring straight at her, filled with excitement and delight, but no hostility.

Some large beasts even twisted their tentacles into a single twist to make themselves appear more upright. A giant jellyfish-like beast, noticing her gaze, lifted its transparent skirt and bowed gracefully, as if in greeting.

This is……

"What did you tell them?" Why do they all seem to have been brainwashed?
