Volume 5, Chapter 24 – Ailiya in Another World, and Polana in the Desert

After Ailiya and Bai Shangxue left the summoning hall, the Bai family members inside finally emerged from their previous dazed state.

Looking at each other, they all saw confusion in one another’s eyes.

“Was that woman really a Bai family ancestor?”

Looking toward the direction the two had departed, Bai Xu murmured to himself softly.

Obviously, in Bai Xu’s view, everything that had just happened was far too far-fetched.

That silver-haired girl clearly didn’t look like someone from Hualong Nation, and the aura around her didn’t seem like spiritual power either. More importantly, as an ancestor? She actually didn’t understand Chinese?

Doubt spread rapidly through Bai Xu’s heart like a virus.

But just then, a voice full of unwillingness yet resignation quietly reached Bai Xu’s ears.

——”Although there are many suspicious points… that woman might truly be a Bai family ancestor…”——

“Hm?”

Hearing the voice, Bai Xu quickly looked behind him toward his father Bai Bin, who had somehow appeared beside him.

When the space had been unstable earlier, Bai Bin had disappeared, yet now he had suddenly appeared?

Although he felt this was strange, Bai Xu tactfully didn’t ask much about this matter.

“Father, is she really an ancestor?”

“She should be, after all, even the Divine Monument reacted.”

“The Divine Monument?”

After muttering this, Bai Xu silently raised his head to look at the stone tablet floating directly above the summoning hall, carved with numerous golden unknown runes.

The Divine Monument was their Bai family’s supreme treasure, a treasure passed down for thousands of years.

The reason their Bai family’s summoning ceremonies could be conducted, the reason they could summon ancestral spirits, was all because the Divine Monument possessed the power to open other dimensions.

“The Divine Monument is said to be a fragment of a treasure used by the Lord when saving the world, which was later bestowed upon our Bai family. After the Divine Monument belonged to the Bai family, it would only resonate with Bai family members.”

“Resonance…”

“Yes, resonance.”

Bai Bin nodded:

“The Divine Monument only resonates with Bai family members, and the thicker the bloodline power, the stronger the resonance. And just now? The Divine Monument not only resonated with that silver-haired woman, it even actively floated to her side… showing that the Bai family bloodline power within her is very concentrated. The Divine Monument hasn’t been this close to anyone for a full thousand years.”

“Father means… she’s truly a Bai family ancestor? But there doesn’t seem to be anyone like her in our genealogy?”

“No records doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist. Due to that disaster two thousand years ago, we lost many records from even earlier times.”

“A powerhouse from before that?”

At this point, Bai Xu’s eyes suddenly contracted, filled with astonishment.

“Then wouldn’t that be a powerhouse from the Xuanwu Era? Those were terrifying existences with peak bloodline power! For such an era’s powerhouse to be summoned… wouldn’t that mean…”

Thinking this, Bai Xu turned around with complex emotions to look at the distant figure who had been anxious throughout.

That is, the one who had just summoned the silver-haired girl… that clan sister he had previously viewed as mediocre.

Bai Lin…

At this moment, this girl named Bai Lin seemed to still not have recovered from the series of events that had just occurred, when nearby Bai family elders and peers enthusiastically swarmed over to greet her warmly.

Clearly, everyone’s attitude toward Bai Lin had been quite cold before, but after seeing Bai Lin summon a materialized ancestral spirit, everyone’s attitude had completely reversed one hundred eighty degrees. They continuously tried to get closer to Bai Lin, leaving Bai Lin herself somewhat at a loss.

She could only keep smiling awkwardly in place.

…

Watching this clan sister who had suddenly become the center of attention like stars surrounding the moon, Bai Xu couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Doesn’t that mean the summoner’s talent and bloodline concentration… far exceeds mine?”

Similarly, although Bai Bin beside him said nothing, his gaze toward Bai Lin had obviously undergone earth-shaking changes. A cold gleam imperceptibly flashed through his eyes.

“Looks like I need to have a good chat with Grandfather.”

…

At the same time, in a certain room of the Bai family main residence.

After bringing some water and fruit, Bai Shangxue left the room.

The entire large room was left with only Ailiya.

After mobilizing her Augury Force to carefully sense and confirm there were no other mechanisms in the room and it was completely safe, Ailiya finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Removing her tattered armor, wearing only a thin torn white gauze dress, she slowly sat on the sofa beside the bed.

“That child…”

Recalling Bai Shangxue’s strange expression and actions just now, a trace of complexity flashed through Ailiya’s eyes.

“Really a strange child…”

Clearly just a little one, yet acting so mature.

And for some reason, he seemed to treat her as a junior?

“Strange.”

After reflecting for a while, Ailiya slightly turned her head to look out the window.

She had to admit, the room Bai Shangxue had prepared for Ailiya had quite a nice view. Looking out, green mountains and clear waters were all visible, and the ancient-style temple not far away appeared quite magnificent.

“Is this Lianyue’s homeland? It’s… much more peaceful than I imagined.”

Originally, Ailiya had thought that after Lianyue was transported to this world, he would probably continue fighting madly with House Solrog or the Celestial Blight, causing heaven and earth to collapse.

But now it seemed this world was quite tranquil.

Did she transport to the wrong location?

Or…

Sigh, in any case, she couldn’t sense Lianyue’s aura.

“Now, where should I look for Lianyue?”

Ailiya sighed helplessly and wearily.

However, while thinking about this problem, Ailiya suddenly frowned.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered a serious problem.

She had appeared in this inexplicable ceremonial array?

Then… what about the Abyssal Lord who had been traveling through the spacetime tunnel with her?

——”Where did that monster go?”——

The people of this world didn’t seem very strong. If Polarvitan suddenly lost control somewhere, the consequences would probably be quite serious.

…

Just as Ailiya was thinking this, in a certain desert thousands of miles away.

Gazing at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky, a certain pink-haired girl wearing a shell eyepatch blinked in bewilderment.

Looking left and right and seeing no sign of Ailiya, countless question marks suddenly appeared in Abyssal Lord Polarvitan’s mind.

Huh??

“Where did that little brat go??”

She had clearly just been guided through the spacetime tunnel by him, so how had she disappeared in the blink of an eye?

What was going on?

Also, this place…

Looking around, Polarvitan’s eyebrows twitched a few times. Forget finding the old hag and that stinky girl from just now—there were no human figures around the pink-haired girl at all, not even any shadows of living creatures. Only the sound of wind howled in her ears. In all directions was boundless desert, heaven and earth desolate…

This place was even more veiled and mysterious than The Veiled Domain…

=-=

“What the hell!! What kind of place is this?!!”

Violently pulling off her head and smashing it on the ground, Polarvitan roared angrily.

Damn it!! Why do I feel like I’ve been played again?!

Ptui! Sand got in my mouth…
