Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1812 - 1810: Life Origin

The cultivators approaching from the front were not in perfect condition, looking like they had just been through a great battle, with numerous traces of disarray.

Upon spotting Lu Ye approaching head-on, the leading Moon Jade immediately came forward, cupping his fists from afar: "Lin Ran from Life Origin, greetings Fellow Daoist!"

Lin Ran had seen Lu Ye from afar. After all, a few days ago, when Lu Ye had steered the core onto that scorched battlefield, he was seated cross-legged on it without concealing his form, so many cultivators had seen his figure from afar.

For the Life Origin World, having one of the two Sun Blaze from the Insect Race removed, and the insect hive breached, undoubtedly helped immensely. Otherwise, the Life Origin World might already be in ruins, so even though he didn't know Lu Ye's background or identity, he showed a grateful expression upon seeing him, as it was indeed a lifesaving favor.

The cultivators following behind him also bowed in unison.

Lu Ye returned the salute: "Jade Conch, Lu Ye!"

He initially intended to investigate the situation of the battle over there, but upon seeing Lin Ran and the others, he understood there was no need. If the battle had not already ended, these people would not have been able to come here, and their demeanor clearly indicated they were looking for his whereabouts.

Life Origin should have won.

Though he had a guess in his heart, Lu Ye still asked.

As expected, Lin Ran informed him that the Insect Race had retreated.

The biggest reliance of the Insect Race was the two Sun Blaze and the insect hive. One Sun Blaze mysteriously disappeared, and the insect hive was shattered, instantly losing their advantage.

Many cultivators from the Life Origin World rose to resist, killing countless from the Insect Race.

The remaining Sun Blaze from the Insect Race, seeing the unfavorable situation, immediately retreated, probably also wary of Lu Ye's side, as the disappearance of his companion was too bizarre. Without finding out the whereabouts or even the life and death of his companion, he dared not linger outside the Life Origin World.

Though the Life Origin World won this battle and preserved the domain, the losses were significant. The Sun Blaze from their world was heavily injured and is currently recuperating within the domain.

"I was sent by Master Uncle Qin Jiang to investigate, Fellow Daoist Lu, that Sun Blaze from the Insect Race..." Lin Ran looked at Lu Ye. The Qin Jiang he mentioned was undoubtedly the Sun Blaze cultivator of the Life Origin World.

Lu Ye replied, "Fellow Daoist need not worry, that Sun Blaze from the Insect Race is already dead."

Lin Ran and the human race cultivators were overjoyed, hastening to ask, "May I ask which senior helped?"

It wasn't that he underestimated Lu Ye, but Lu Ye's Moon Jade mid-stage cultivation was evident, and the gap with Sun Blaze was too large, making it impossible for him to have such means.

Lu Ye also realized this issue, and after a brief ponder, replied, "My esteemed master personally took action and slew him." Not wanting to claim it as his kill, he just concocted a story.

Lin Ran showed an expression of understanding, looking behind Lu Ye and asked, "May I ask where your master is now..."

Lu Ye promptly replied, "My master fought with the enemy, got injured, and is recuperating, ordering me to check on the progress of your battle."

Lin Ran's expression tightened, and with concern, he asked, "Are the injuries severe?"

"Not too severe."

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, may I invite your master to the Life Origin World to heal? Our world will offer the best healing resources, and additionally, Master Uncle Qin Jiang wants to express his thanks in person."

Lu Ye shook his head and said, "There's no need. My master is... rather reclusive and not accustomed to interacting with others. Since the battle in your domain has ended, my master and I will take our leave, Fellow Daoist, take care!"

Lu Ye cupped his fists, turning to leave.

Lin Ran hurriedly exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! Such a great kindness is beyond repayment; no matter what, please allow us to do something, otherwise, we won't be able to explain to Master Uncle Qin Jiang when we return."

Lu Ye paused, turning to look at him, intending to refuse, but suddenly recalled something, and said, "If that's the case, would Fellow Daoist mind collecting some fire-type resources? My master has great use for them!" He had exhausted all the fire-type resources on him as well as the Talent Tree's fuel reserves, initially planning to replenish them later, but now there's an opportunity to get some for temporary use.

Moreover, although he consumed little in this battle, it actually consumed the essence of the Core World!

The power sealing the Sun Blaze from the Insect Race came from the Core World's essence, which was also why Lu Ye eventually used the Great Windmill Secret Technique, for sealing a Sun Blaze exhausted the Core World's essence significantly, and the earlier the opponent was dealt with, the sooner this consumption would cease.

Otherwise, Lu Ye could slowly wear down that Sun Blaze without taking risks.

Once a world's essence is exhausted, recovering it is very troublesome. At this moment, Lu Ye only sought some fire-type resources from the Life Origin World, a trifling matter compared to the consumption of the domain's essence.

Lin Ran's eyes brightened, quickly nodding, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

Saying this, he took out an audio talisman to send a message, giving some instructions.

He soon looked at Lu Ye again, "Within the domain, we will collect fire-type resources with full effort, and they will be delivered within half a day."

During the wait, Lin Ran chatted with Lu Ye, repeatedly proposing to visit the fictitious master to express thanks in person, all of which Lu Ye deftly deflected.

Lu Ye also thought of a problem: "Though the battle is won, if the Insect Race comes back, how will you respond?"

The Sun Blaze from the Insect Race wasn't dead but had escaped, and there's no guarantee they won't find another insect hive and lead it back to the Life Origin World side.

This could take a long time, but it's very likely to happen someday.

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh: "There is really no good countermeasure, we can only strive for cultivation. Hopefully, by the time that day arrives, this domain will have enough power to protect itself."

Lu Ye remained silent. This time he was fortunate to be in the right place, lending a hand to the Life Origin World, saving them from peril, but next time they might not have such luck. Indeed, they must rely on their own efforts.

The Insect and Blood Races are the most notorious races in the stellar space. Comparatively, the harm from the Insect Race is somewhat greater than that from the Blood Race, due to the living methods of these two races.

The Blood Race owns several domains, all transformed from the remains of Blood Ancestors after their death, generally fixed locations. Even if the Blood Race does campaign outward, they only capture living beings to raise them, ensuring the supply of Blood Food.

However, the Insect Race is different. This race does not have a fixed place for cultivation; they typically base their existence on insect hives, drifting through stellar space. If they encounter any potential targets along the way, they would initiate a war.

Though, there are exceptions to everything. Sometimes, there are also Blood Race members within insect hives. Cooperation between the two races is not uncommon.

Half a day later, a cultivator hurriedly arrived from the direction of the Life Origin World, bringing several storage rings to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran briefly inspected them and then handed them over to Lu Ye.

"Fellow Daoist, can't you invite your Master to our Life Origin World for healing?" Lin Ran still wanted to make a final effort.

Lu Ye shook his head: "I appreciate your goodwill, Fellow Daoist. My master and I have no fixed place, wandering everywhere. As fellow humans, it is natural to lend a helping hand when our companions are in trouble. But going to your domain for healing is unnecessary now. My Master is already in a meditative trance, and it's not appropriate to disturb abruptly."

Lin Ran lamented deeply: "Your Master's righteousness is admirable! We at Life Origin will remember it deeply, and if we meet again someday, we'll certainly repay."

"Until we meet again." Lu Ye clasped his fists, picked up those rings, and swiftly departed.

Lin Ran and the others watched as he left.

Moments later, Lu Ye returned to the core location, sat atop it, and with a focused mind, maneuvered the core to continue the journey.

While traveling, he refined the fire-type resources obtained from the Life Origin World. Within days, he completely refined them.

Inspecting the Talent Tree, Lu Ye felt somewhat relieved. The lack of fuel in the Talent Tree made him uneasy, but now he could breathe a bit easier.

However, the fuel at hand was not sufficient. The treasure blood mixed within the Origin wasn't completely refined. This issue must be resolved later, but first, he needed to settle the core.

A storage ring appeared again in his hand. This was left by the deceased Insect Race Sun Blaze.

The legacy of a Sun Blaze was full of anticipation for Lu Ye, who devoted himself to deciphering the restriction lock on the storage ring.

After more than half a day, when the restriction lock on the ring was broken, Lu Ye's examination made his face turn dark!

Because the legacy within the ring was worlds apart from his expectations; there was hardly anything valuable inside, not even much spirit jade or spirit crystal!

Upon reflection, this wasn't surprising.

The survival mode of the Insect Race dictates that their warriors wouldn't have many resources on hand. The resources they acquire are mostly invested into the insect hives. Insect hives can convert all acquired resources into nourishment, with Insect Race's cultivation, healing, and growth happening within them.

This is somewhat similar to how he stores fuel within the Talent Tree, except the insect hives reserve nourishment made from resources acquired by the Insect Race.

Now, the massive accumulation of nourishment has also vanished with the destruction of the insect hives.

Lu Ye felt quite helpless.

Heading forward, the core finally reached its predetermined location.

In the Void, Lu Ye's Mental Consciousness surged, utilizing the seven-color Divine Lotus within the Divine Sea to connect with the Soul Race ancestral land. As time passed, the vague connection grew increasingly stronger.

Until one moment, a portal suddenly opened in the void ahead.

Lu Ye maneuvered the core and rushed in through the portal.

After a whirlwind-like rotation, familiar scenery unfolded before his eyes once again.

The Soul Race ancestral land, arrived!

Simultaneously, at the eastern Mount Fangcun, Immortal Spirit Peak, Su Yuqing, who was cultivating with closed eyes, suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a puzzled expression.

Because just at that instant, she suddenly felt a strange anomaly, which she had never sensed before.

Not just her, on Misty Peak, Woo Qimo, who was watching the clouds roll by, also showed a look of suspicion and surprise simultaneously. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

On Cloud Sea Peak, Chen Xuanhai stood with hands behind his back, suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, his eyebrows lifted. After a brief hesitation, he suddenly soared into the sky.

Feeling Chen Xuanhai's movement, Su Yuqing and Woo Qimo also flickered and rushed out toward the sky.

The three Sun Blaze cultivators had already developed a hypothesis, but to confirm whether this hypothesis was true, they had to see for themselves.

Even for such mighty figures as them, their expressions were filled with excitement and anticipation, for if the hypothesis were true, it would be a joyous event awaited by the Dwarf Race for countless years!
