I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1458 - 1462: I Can Fight for You

"Her? She's the one you need to see now, right?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yes," Shen Yi nodded, "We are the highest creations of the Golden God Seat civilization. This civilization, which has existed for countless years, possesses three precious stones: the Emperor Stone on me, the Starry Sky Stone, and the Creation Stone."

"These are the most valuable treasures of the entire Golden God Seat civilization. The Emperor Stone signifies slaughter and destruction, the Creation Stone signifies life and all things, and the Starry Sky Stone signifies miracles and hope. The entire Golden God Seat civilization is created around these three gemstones."

"So, the power you just showed comes from that Emperor Stone?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yes," Shen Yi nodded, "The Main World is composed of various civilizations, and all civilizations exist in a state of overall peace and partial conflict. To protect their civilization from invasion by other civilizations or to gain higher authority in the Main World, they will do whatever it takes to become stronger."

"Is that the purpose of your creation?" Zhang Menglong suddenly looked at Shen Yi with a sympathetic expression. No matter who it is, being born as a weapon, even just as a deterrent, is a pitiful fate.

"Yes," Shen Yi sighed, "From the moment I gained consciousness, I have been a sword for the Golden God Seat, like a war machine without emotions, defending my civilization against invaders, and sometimes invading other civilizations. With the Emperor Stone inside me, I can even match Level Five perfect creatures!"

"What is the concept of a Level Five perfect creature?" Zhang Menglong and the others were puzzled.

"Those golden-armored men you just saw are at most semi-perfect creatures, not even close to Level One," Shen Yi explained.

"They're not perfect creatures?" Hui and others were shocked. In their eyes, those golden-armored men were already astonishing.

"What about the Administrator of the Nine-story Tower?" Zhang Menglong continued to ask.

"Him? He's at most a Level One perfect creature. To the ordinary Trialists of the Nine-story Tower, he can toy with them like a deity, but you are an exception," Shen Yi said, looking at Zhang Menglong, "Your Life Level is clearly inferior to those golden-armored men, yet your strength and speed nearly reach the level of a Level Two perfect creature. Have you also had something implanted in you?"

"He's just a monster."

"He's a freak."

"He's not human!"

The people around Zhang Menglong chimed in.

Though Zhang Menglong didn't know what a Level Five perfect life form meant, judging by the standard of the Tower Administrator, it seemed that a Level Five perfect creature would be a terrifying existence, even to Main Gods like them, akin to true deities.

"Since you can easily kill them, why are you still entangled with them?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously, "You clearly have the power but seem unwilling to use it."

"That's something I promised her," Shen Yi said, "She is the owner of the Creation Stone. Her name is Xia. Originally, the people of the Golden God Seat created her as a second weapon."

"And then?"

"Like me, she fought for the Golden God Seat for countless years. The Emperor Stone gradually influenced my consciousness, making me love slaughter, whereas the Creation Stone, a beautiful thing symbolizing life, influenced Xia to develop her own ideas; she loved life and nature."

"That seems contrary to the reason she was created."

"Yes, she began to resist fighting and even started influencing me. I grew to love life, peace, and, even more, love her."

"Hiss!" Goosebumps ran across Zhang Menglong's skin. Such declarations of love were unbearably mushy.

"Later, she chose to resist war!"

"That must have displeased those you mentioned from the Golden God Seat."

"Yes," Shen Yi nodded, "She abandoned her mission, choosing to give up the Creation Stone to escape her fate. Her body was transformed, dependent on the Creation Stone for endless life and power. Without it, she couldn't even sustain her life."

"And you..."

"I used half of the Emperor Stone's power to preserve her life, but because her body couldn't adapt to the Emperor Stone's power, it became very weak. She lost all her strength."

"Did you also choose to abandon your mission for her?"

"Yes," Shen Yi said, "My dream now is to be with Xia forever. I hoped they would leave us alone, at the cost of giving up the Emperor Stone. Surrendering the Emperor Stone would be a release for me, but then there would be no power to sustain Xia's life."

"No wonder they call you a traitor," Zhang Menglong sighed, realizing Shen Yi had eloped with Xia, escaping to this world to avoid the Golden God Seat. "How did you get here?"

"While being pursued, I found a miraculous place in the Main World, through which I entered this Nine-story Tower. I could freely move between worlds, but the Tower was being monitored by a perfect life form. To avoid detection, we hid in this desolate world, where we spent our happiest 2000 years."

"You've been hiding here for 2000 years?" Zhang Menglong showed a lewd expression. This world is deserted, with nothing but them for 2000 years... a lone man and woman, dry wood meeting fire... the details must be worth their weight in gold to see.

"Yes, a full 2513 years."

"Were you discovered later?"

Shen Yi shook his head, "Later, the Emperor Stone's power could barely prevent her body's collapse, but needed something more to sustain her life."

"What thing?" Zhang Menglong suddenly remembered that Shen Yi seemed to have collected perfect cores from those golden-armored men earlier, "You mean the perfect cores?"

"Yes," Shen Yi said, "It's the only thing that can sustain her life. To keep her alive, I need to find more perfect cores. I promised her not to continue the killing, so I could only search through many worlds for those remaining perfect cores, and in the process, they found my trail."

"I see." Zhang Menglong asked, "How long can these six perfect cores keep her alive?"

"These perfect cores from the golden-armored men are not of much significance. Six at most can keep her alive for only three months."

"Only three months?" To someone like Shen Yi, three months is indeed a fleeting moment. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Moreover, the Energy required by the Emperor Stone to sustain Xia's body is increasing. Now, the power I can exert is at most that of a Level Two perfect creature. If I use the Emperor Stone's power, not only would I break my promise to Xia, but my location would soon be discovered by the people of the Golden God Seat."

"I'll help you!" Zhang Menglong thought of a mischievous plan, "You need Xia to survive, which requires a large number of perfect cores. If you can't act, I can do it for you!"
