Chapter 547: Same Race, Same Deity
Su Chen could only shake his head in disbelief. Punished for helping humanity by the gods?
Just as Su Chen was about to speak with sarcasm, he remembered something. He already knew the deity of the post-Ghost Clan, Cosmic Behemoth Spectral Moth. But now, he wondered: Who was the deity of the pre-Ghost Clan?
It couldn't possibly be that both Ghost Clans worshiped Spectral Moth, right? It didn't seem likely.
"Libra, do you know who the deity of the pre-Ghost Clan is?" Su Chen directly sought out Libra, the supreme witch among the pre-Ghost Clan, as foretold in their prophecies.
"The deity of the pre-Ghost Clan? I don't know, but I'll ask."
After some time, Libra's voice came through, "Commander, an elder from the pre-Ghost Clan told me they don't know who their deity is. They depended on the deity's protection to survive and multiply in the past."
Su Chen was speechless. The pre-Ghost Clan had been remarkably trusting to worship a deity without knowing its identity. They had essentially sold their entire race in the process. "Have them conduct a faith ceremony, and you personally try it," Su Chen instructed.
With the System as her backup, Su Chen had no worries about Libra's safety. Moreover, it was an order from the Commander, and Libra naturally wouldn't disobey.
"Witch-sama, is there an order?" A respectful pre-Ghost Clan member knelt before Libra, who was seated on a throne.
"Conduct the ceremony. I want to become a believer of the deity," Libra said.
The pre-Ghost Clan member seemed surprised for a moment but soon displayed joy. In his eyes, if Witch-sama believed in their deity, it meant they were truly one family.
News of this quickly spread among the pre-Ghost Clan, and they were delighted, considering Witch-sama as one of their own.
Although the pre-Ghost Clan now followed Libra's orders, it was not solely because of her immense power. Libra was also the prophesied individual. Various factors had led to this situation.
Secretly, some Ghost Clan members still gossiped about Libra, feeling that she wasn't truly one of them and was not qualified to lead them.
What they didn't know was that Libra possessed Psychic power and had long seen through all their thoughts. Of course, the pre-Ghost Clan members with such thoughts were all placed in the vanguard troops, where casualties were the highest.
Libra had never considered herself a broad-minded person. Anyone who dared to speak ill of her would have bad luck following them.
The ceremony was simple, involving prayers and guidance from an elder pre-Ghost Clan member to help Libra hear the voice of the deity.
"Alert! Unknown presence invading Super Soldiers Libra. Shall I activate a counterattack, Master?"
As expected, the System's voice arrived on cue, and Su Chen naturally agreed.
Somewhere underground, Spectral Moth once again suffered severe damage. This time, its wobbling was even more pronounced, and two consecutive injuries had wiped away many years of its consciousness.
"Master, it has been confirmed that the deity behind both the pre-Ghost Clan and post-Ghost Clan is Cosmic Behemoth Spectral Moth."
Su Chen's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected Spectral Moth to be so indiscriminate. It seemed to accept any intelligent life it encountered.
"But wait, why didn't Spectral Moth choose humans? In the past, there were more humans than Ghost Clan members, so why didn't it select them? If humans had Spectral Moth's help, at least the situation wouldn't be so one-sided."
Regardless, knowing that both the pre-Ghost Clan and post-Ghost Clan worshiped the same deity gave Su Chen some assurance. This was much better than having yet another Cosmic Behemoth in the mix.
Su Chen couldn't understand why there were suddenly two of these rare beings on Yan Yun Star, considering how rare they were in the entire universe.
On the other side, after several days, Wang Chun finally arrived near the Ghost Emperor Palace.
"Qing Ye, wait for me." A gentle smile appeared on Wang Chun's face. By now, he had resumed his Ghost Clan appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to approach the Ghost Emperor Palace so easily.
Everywhere in Ghost Clan territory was teeming with Ghost Clan members. A human who dared to approach would stand out too much.
But as he neared the Ghost Emperor Palace, he was discovered.
"This is the palace of Ghost Emperor. No Ghost Clan member may approach without being summoned. Please leave," two female Ghost Clan members, both Sixth Order elite Ghost Clan, blocked Wang Chun's path.
"Step aside. I don't want to harm my kin," Wang Chun's gaze never met theirs throughout.
The two female Ghost Clan members exchanged a glance and decided to take action. However, their strength was insufficient, and before they could move, Wang Chun had already knocked them unconscious.
Wang Chun still held the bond of kinship with his people; otherwise, he would have gone all out. This time, his target was only Ghost Emperor; others were not on his list.
Of course, if someone truly sought trouble, he wouldn't mind escorting them to their demise.
Inside the Ghost Emperor Palace, there were not many servant girls, as no one had ever imagined that someone would infiltrate it.
Wang Chun proceeded to the Grand Hall on his own. Many servant girls lay around, all of them unconscious after Wang Chun had knocked them out.
In the Grand Hall, Wang Chun finally saw the Ghost Emperor and the person who had haunted his dreams.
"Qing Ye, do you still remember me?" Wang Chun didn't notice that his hand was trembling.
Qing Ye, dressed in green, stared expressionlessly at Wang Chun without uttering a word.
The Ghost Emperor's expression was terrifying. He had never expected this person to still be alive. Qing Ye had stabbed him directly in the heart with a dagger back then; he remembered it clearly.
"You're still alive!" The Ghost Emperor's voice was deafening.
Wang Chun's gaze remained on the Ghost Emperor as he grinned, "Ghost Emperor, are you disappointed? I've kept myself alive until now just to see you die! I'll make Qing Ye understand that in this world, only I can be with her!"
Anyone whose lover was taken by someone else would be driven mad, and Ghost Emperor was no exception.
"If it weren't for your sneak attack back then, I would never have lost! This time, you will die a miserable death!" The Ghost Emperor roared, and his immense aura caused a faint Black Mist to appear in the vicinity.
Wang Chun's expression changed, "You've broken through to the Small Galaxy level?"
The main difference between Planet-level and Small Galaxy-level was enhanced physical attributes and energy transformation.
Wang Chun could sense that the Ghost Emperor's energy had become denser, adding some pressure on him, but it was only pressure.
The Ghost Emperor didn't know that Wang Chun had already reached Small Galaxy First-tier Peak. Seeing Wang Chun's changed expression, he wore a triumphant smile. "Yes, if it weren't for our battle, I would have found it challenging to break through. During this time, while recovering, I ascended to the Small Galaxy level. Yan Yun Star is mine now!"
The Ghost Emperor was very confident. However, after Wang Chun unleashed his aura, his confidence seemed to vanish into thin air. (To be continued)
