Yama Reborn-Chapter 591 - 588: I Need to Know More!

Snap.

The wizard released his hand, Nolan fell to the ground, but sat directly without standing up.

Nolan just waved and coldly said to those subordinates and mercenaries around: "Everyone leave! Do not approach!"

After dispersing the camp and making everyone stay away, Nolan sat on the ground, looking up at the wizard.

The wizard slowly said: "... I think the octopus monster is targeting us, is that so?"

"I don't know." Nolan shook his head and said, "I only know you have a chance to escape and hide—maybe.

But I absolutely don't have this chance. Because I am the octopus monster's chosen one, the life-level connection makes it easy for it to sense my presence anywhere in the world.

So, I have no chance of escape at all."

Nolan's eyes were gray and dark, this gaze made the wizard look and couldn't help but tremble inside.

The wizard suddenly felt a sense of helplessness arise in his heart.

They are all top human controllers—yet under the hand of a seed, completely powerless, how could it come to this?!

After thinking for a while, the wizard whispered: "I have decided not to serve the octopus monster anymore—Lillian's death was too strange, I must clarify this matter!"

Nolan frowned, persuading the wizard: "What good is it to clarify? If the octopus monster did it, can you still kill it for revenge?"

The wizard shook his head: "If the octopus monster killed Lillian, even if I can't get revenge, I must make it pay some price."

"Not wanting to live?" Nolan sneered.

"Live?"

The wizard responded with a cold smile: "The way we are now, what's the taste of living? Since we united to try and backstab the octopus monster, brought back from Jinling by the octopus monster, do you think we've been truly alive these days?"

The wizard spoke, directly shaking his head: "In my opinion, living like this is worse than death!"

Nolan was taken aback.

The wizard coldly said: "I awakened my special ability at ten, then grew all the way with exceptional talent, later entered the Cultivator Association, attracting everyone's attention, until finally proving the Dao to become a controller—when did I suffer such humiliation?

If enduring a temporary humiliation allows me to repay tenfold, hundredfold, then endurance has meaning.

But if I must endure forever with no possibility of revenge—then this endurance is meaningless!"

Nolan drooped his eyelids: "So, you're not leaving?"

"Not leaving." The wizard took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and coldly said: "Even if I can't kill the octopus monster, I must make it pay some price."

Nolan fell silent again.

The sun had gradually set, after a long silence, Nolan suddenly slowly said: "We need help."

"... We?," the wizard sneered: "Haven't you already resigned yourself."

Nolan's smile gradually turned strange: "I've never been afraid of death, it was my idea to unite with you all to backstab the octopus monster, don't forget!

I was just desperate, but never afraid of death!

Since you want to make the octopus monster pay... then relying on just the two of us is impossible, so..."

The wizard frowned and finally sighed: "If not absolutely necessary, I truly don't want to cooperate with those two dogs."

"But don't forget, in the Jinling battle, Her Majesty the Empress's combat power was already close to the octopus monster, though not able to defeat it, could resist it for a short time. This is something you and I can't do.

If we want to make the octopus monster pay, we need these two guys."

·

Corot was engulfed in immense fear.

Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi both looked at Corot with scrutinizing eyes, Corot sat in the corner of the sofa, biting his teeth hard.

"So, why is he the key to finding the Mother?", Chen Nuo looked at the Gray Cat.

Gray Cat remained silent.

Chen Nuo frowned, gently stroking his forehead with his fingers: "Let me think... Hmm, Mr. Corot!"

"Hmm?", Corot replied with a stiff head.

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "The grudge between you and me should have been left in Antarctica. Since time has passed, and both of us safely left Antarctica, now we're all sitting peacefully on the sofa talking, then... the old grudge is over."

Corot seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly said: "Chen Nuo, I know I schemed against you in Antarctica, which was my fault... but at that time, I was also trapped by the Fourth Seed, stuck in that damn place, wanting to get out, with no other choice."

"Understood!", Chen Nuo unexpectedly nodded: "You and I have no personal ties, I happened to crash into that Antarctic place, just in front of you, you wanted to get out, who else could you scheme against but me—if it were me, I might do the same."

Corot forced a smile: "It's good you think this way."

"The grudge can be settled. But, the matter in front of us cannot be settled. Gray Cat brought you to Africa... so you must be the key to finding the Mother, so..."

Corot felt helpless in his heart as well.

```

What the hell am I doing here!

I came to Africa and did nothing at all!

Just got taken to Cairo, Egypt by the cat owner, and then made a fortune.

Yes, I found dozens of precious, pretty little female cats for the cat owner.

I'm practically a cat madam now!

Then it was like being a servant, serving the cat master, wandering all over the African continent in that off-road RV.

Going east today, west tomorrow, south the day after, and guess what on the fourth day!

The owner said, drive back!

That's how I've been wandering around for so many days.

I don't know anything, I haven't done anything!!

Chen Nuo looked at Corot's confused face, frowned, and then asked the Gray Cat:

"So? You still refuse to say anything?"

The Gray Cat sighed, "It's better for you not to get involved in this matter. Getting involved might be deadly."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, "It depends on the situation! Originally, I wasn't interested in this whole finding the Mother thing.

But Gray Cat, get it straight!

It's not me looking for the Mother now, it's the Octopus Monster looking for the Mother!

Even though I don't know what the Octopus Monster's goal is in finding the Mother, but... I think, if he finds the Mother, it will definitely be bad for other Seeds, including you!"

Hearing this, the Gray Cat's face suddenly showed a human-like smile, and there was a creepy gleam in those cat eyes.

"Chen Nuo, how do you know that the Octopus Monster finding the Mother will be bad for me?

If... I'm saying if, have you ever thought about the possibility that letting the Octopus Monster find the Mother might actually be a good thing?"

Chen Nuo: "......!!!"

·

The Gray Cat's words, spoken in a chilling tone, suddenly made Chen Nuo instinctively feel a weight in his heart!

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, his eyes staring into the Gray Cat's for a while, then exhaled slowly.

"Actually, the existence of a Mother in Africa is not a secret.

Everyone knows about the encounter over 300 years ago, where several Controllers besieged the Mother in Africa."

Chen Nuo suddenly slowed his speech, speaking slowly as he watched both the Gray Cat and Corot.

The Gray Cat's gaze remained eerie, while Corot's face showed a deep sense of apprehension!

"Mr. Corot, you were once a member of Noah's Ark, and your ancestors were among those involved in the siege of the African Mother more than three hundred years ago, in 1655.

So... does that mean, the Mother in Africa back then wasn't killed by them?

I remember the version I got was that the Mother in Africa back then was killed. Or, it wasn't killed but was dealt with using some kind of sealing technique?

And now you're back in Africa looking for the Mother, so, are you searching for the Mother from three hundred years ago which wasn't killed?"

Corot's body shuddered!

He took a deep breath, seriously said, "I can confirm, the Mother sieged three hundred years ago... was killed!"

"Confirmed?" Chen Nuo frowned, "How are you sure?"

Corot paused for a moment but then tightly shut his mouth.

Corot shook his head, "I don't know what you mean by looking for the Mother now, but one thing, the Mother attacked three hundred years ago was also in Africa, but not at this place—the place where we fought then was far from here."

Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Corot and slowly said, "Down in Antarctica, you tricked me pretty badly, then you even tried to deceive me, messing with my consciousness, making me think I was inside the Mother... I was trapped by you for months. If it weren't for my wit, seeing through that trick, I don't know how long you would have fooled me.

However! I remember you telling me something then, which was...

The location of the Mother can change."

Corot nodded, "At that time, I lied to you about many things, but on this point, I did not lie to you."

Chen Nuo also nodded, "I've verified this with Seed, Seed said although he's not very clear either, you probably weren't wrong."

·

Generally speaking, the Mother isn't what everyone initially thought, where once it landed on Earth, it hides somewhere and forever sleeps in one place.

It's not like this: a certain building is sitting on a certain street in a certain city, find this building, demolish it and you're done...

Not like this!

The Mother also doesn't split into pieces, distributed in several places around the world, then continuously sleeps... split into several buildings, scattered in several places, you just have to find them separately, and demolish them separately...

It's not like that!

·

To be precise, the Mother is a kind of spiritual life form. After it descended on Earth, it might not exist in a tangible form that you can see or touch. It might have even fused with this planet.

What people can see of the Mother is actually an avatar.

Whether it's the Mother that Chen Nuo encountered under the sea in the Neon Country, or the one Seed found in the South America Tropical Rainforest (that Seed consumed).

Or the one in Antarctica.

Or the one in Africa three hundred years ago.

They are all the same!

These are more like energy decomposition from the Mother, randomly appearing somewhere in this world.

The command left by the Mother to the Seeds is: Find the Mother, awaken the Mother.

And what about these Seeds like Seed?

They... after gaining their own will, no longer seek to find and awaken the Mother. They plan to evolve on their own.

Seed went further; he directly located a Mother Clone and consumed it as his nourishment.

It seems like a story of raising a child to care for you in old age, only for the child to grow up into a rebellious one and instead feed off the parent...

Afterward, Chen Nuo came to a hypothesis after talking with Corot in Antarctica and then with Seed.

The Mother... occasionally manifests part of its energy, appearing somewhere on this planet.

Is it really waiting for the Seeds to find it and awaken it?

Is it possible... maybe, the Mother needs a process?

In the process of searching for the Mother, the Seeds encounter various experiences, evolve, and then transform...

This process is what the Mother wants: it wants the Seeds to evolve!

Then, those manifested Mother avatars...

The one under the sea in Neon, in the South America Tropical Rainforest, in Antarctica, in Africa...

Are these avatars really waiting to be awakened?

Is it possible...

Actually...

It's the Mother intentionally splitting off energy, waiting for its children to find and then... consume!

They are nutrient packs, experience packs tossed out by the Mother!

·

The reason for this hypothesis precisely stems from the situation of the Mother Clone exterminated three hundred years ago in Africa, which broke Chen Nuo's previous understanding.

Previously, the Mother in the South America Tropical Rainforest had been there for an unknown number of years, possibly thousands, maybe tens of thousands.

And the one under the sea in Neon Country, the earliest Mother Chen Nuo came in contact with, has an even more untraceable existence, possibly much older.

However...

The one exterminated in Africa three hundred years ago, its existence time could be almost confirmed: eight hundred years!

This was what Corot told Chen Nuo back then.

A few hundred years ago, when the Noah's Ark Organization was looking for the Mother and trying to eliminate it, they came to Africa and investigated the area where the Mother was located.

They discovered that this Mother appeared eight hundred years ago, then began releasing energy, causing some ability users to appear amongst the local indigenous people.

However, this phenomenon began eight hundred years ago! Before that, it never happened!

So it is speculated that the Mother in Africa suddenly appeared eight hundred years ago.

This was very bizarre.

If the Mother descended on Earth billions of years ago, then it should have spawned a batch of Seeds long ago...

It makes no sense for an avatar to manifest again in Africa in this relatively recent time period of eight hundred years ago.

Unless...

·

"So, the Mothers we find are all avatars, experience packs thrown out by the Mother, just waiting for the Seeds to search. Once found, waiting for the Seeds to consume.

These are experience packs left for the Seeds.

And this experience pack is random, appearing irregularly.

Even if one is eliminated, it's just like cutting off a tentacle reaching out from the Mother.

Perhaps after a few years, it may reach out a new tentacle elsewhere. Is that what you mean?"

Chen Nuo slowly said: "I talked with Seed about this idea, he's not sure, but he tends to think this explanation makes sense."

Gray Cat was silent but slowly nodded: "I... also think this explanation makes sense."

Chen Nuo snorted: "Then, why did you bring Corot to Africa? If they are not the same Mother..."

Gray Cat hesitated for a moment: "Actually, some things you may not need to know..."

"Damn your riddles!" Chen Nuo suddenly erupted in anger, smashing a palm onto the table, shattering it into pieces.

Gray Cat, who was squatting on the table, immediately jumped onto the sofa, gazing at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo glared at Gray Cat: "Deliberately mystifying things! Always deliberately mystifying! Forever deliberately mystifying!

Half-saying words, leaving hundreds unsaid, Gray Cat, doesn't this tire you?

May not need to know?

Of course I need to know!

Why the hell shouldn't I need to know!

All these things concern my life and the lives of my family!

And you're telling me I may not need to know?"

Chen Nuo went over and grabbed Gray Cat, saying fiercely: "You'd better tell some truth! Otherwise... do you really think I have a lot of patience to keep playing this endless game with you Seeds?

At worst, we all die together! Destroy everything together!

I'll go find Seed and let Seed consume you all!

No one survives!"

Chen Nuo was clearly genuinely angry, his eyes filled with rage as he looked at Gray Cat.

Gray Cat opened its mouth.

Chen Nuo coldly said: "You, always claiming you withdrew from the competition, you're not participating... but what happened in the end, didn't you still come onto the field when things happened? Stealing Corot, running to Africa... Aren't these actions contrary to your claim of withdrawing from the competition?

Then tell me, why did a Seed who claimed to have withdrawn re-enter the fray?"

Gray Cat hesitated, its head slowly swaying, clearly caught in intense conflict.

Finally, Gray Cat sighed:

"Because there's no other way.

Willing to withdraw doesn't mean I'm willing to die.

Once this competition completely ends, there will only be one winner, and all other Seeds will die!

And now...

Seed is about to win."

·

Seed, about to win?

When Gray Cat said this, its voice carried a deep sense of fear.

Chen Nuo's mind stirred: "How do you know Seed is about to win?"

"A feeling."

Gray Cat shook its head: "It's a kind of feeling from the void. I can't explain it to you, because our life levels are different.

I, Seed, Octopus Monster, The Fourth Seed... we are all Seeds, our life source comes from the same origin.

When you were trapped in Antarctica, I went to seek Seed's help, and I gave Seed a bit of my life element line.

And the Octopus Monster, it fought with Seed, and after failing, as compensation, also ceded some of its life elements.

Seed must have consumed all these.

So, when Seed's life begins to evolve to a qualitative change level, the other entities, that is us, will have a severe sense of crisis.

This is a feeling that cannot be explained to you verbally.

Although I don't know where Seed is, what he's doing, what's happening to Seed.

But that feeling of danger, that feeling of the track nearing its end, that sense of impending death, just exists!

So I'm sure that Seed is about to win.

If the other Seeds don't do something, then what awaits us is a dead end."

Chen Nuo was silent, he listened carefully to Gray Cat, quickly digesting, and coldly said: "Then what! Keep talking, don't stop!

I need to know more!"
