God of Pets-Chapter 427: Golden Seed

The brilliant light on the Golden Giant’s body rapidly dimmed and faded under the taint of gray and black.

The seemingly indestructible Golden Body was smashed into nothingness under the terrifying power of the Ancestral Life-saving Technique.

As the Golden Giant’s body broke and dissipated, the body of Xiu Jie Ming, which was wrapped within, gradually became exposed.

This power was also bizarre, shattering the Golden Body without harming Xiu Jie Ming’s flesh in the slightest.

Hu Quan watched as the Golden Giant was completely blown apart with a single punch, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He had never expected that the "Ancestral Life-saving Technique" inscribed on the coffin lid would actually be useful.

He was the first to discover it, so why hadn’t he thought to try it then?

"Ancestral spirits above..." Hu Quan snapped back to his senses and started muttering, hoping it might save his life, possibly pulling him back from the Ghost Gate.

But after reciting the "Ancestral Life-saving Technique," it proved to be utterly useless.

"Why is this?" Hu Quan’s mouth twitched, and his lips continuously spilled over.

He wasn’t really asking for an answer because he had already realized it.

The "Ancestral Life-saving Technique" only worked under specific conditions, when the elders in Ancient Well Village were still around, it was useful.

With those elders gone, using this life-saving technique, did he really expect the ancestors to crawl out of their graves to help?

But Hu Quan was unwilling, it was clear that he was the first to find it, yet he didn’t use it, allowing Chen Guan to take advantage.

With the complete destruction of the Golden Body with a punch, Xiu Jie Ming’s body fell to the ground.

And the destroyed Golden Body unexpectedly turned into tiny golden particles, converging towards a particular spot.

"Is it going to petify?" Chen Guan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, those golden particles didn’t rush towards Chen Guan’s body but instead condensed into a small golden seed in his hand.

Chen Guan could feel the terrifying energy contained within the golden seed, but he couldn’t figure out what it was at the moment.

The moment Chen Guan reached out and grasped the golden seed, it suddenly felt like the world before him brightened.

The village, which was in the black of night, transformed into daytime.

Moreover, the desolate, uninhabited village turned into a lively, bustling place where chickens clucked and dogs barked, teeming with new houses everywhere.

However, those people coming and going seemed unable to see Chen Guan, even passing directly through his body.

Fu Tianji was gone, and Xiu Jie Ming was also gone.

Chen Guan roughly understood that this should be an Illusion Realm, allowing him to see Ancient Well Village in the past.

In this village full of the breath of life, a beam of light descended from the sky, breaking the village’s tranquility.

That light pierced through the void, with an enchanting brilliance, like an aurora falling into the ancient well in the center of Ancient Well Village.

The splendid colors dyed the entire village into a grotesque array of colors.

After this day, a severe drought followed.

Then came the storyline Chen Guan already knew — three years of drought, the last year yielding no crops, the water sources nearly entirely depleted, and invading locust swarms arrived.

Some foreigners riding the clouds came to the village, promising to rescue all villagers but required the young to help them slay the demon in the ancient well.

The young, seeking to save their parents and younger siblings, decisively followed the outsiders into the ancient well.

But they were used as sacrifices, breaking the forbidden power of the ancient well, and the things they extracted were taken by the outsiders.

Those who brought things out died unnatural deaths, yet the goods ended up in the outsiders’ hands.

Before leaving, one of the outsiders even took away the village’s remaining food with substantial Divine Power.

The horrendous scenes that followed shocked Chen Guan to his core.

What puzzled Chen Guan was that he could never see the faces of those outsiders.

Moreover, judging by their methods, they were definitely not ordinary cultivators, at least Grotto Heaven Cultivators, or even Great Cave Heaven Cultivators.

Such people, in the end, took away the villagers’ last bit of food, it was not merely about seizing food, perhaps they intended to exterminate the villagers without dirtying their hands.

Perhaps there were other reasons, but that was beyond Chen Guan’s understanding.

Watching the elders walk into the deep mountains naked in the cold winter night to save food, freezing to death in the mountains on a snowy night, Chen Guan sighed inwardly.

The remaining young and children in the village, having not eaten the seeds, endured through that disastrous year after more deaths from starvation.

The outsiders probably never expected the villagers to survive in such a harsh manner.

The following year, after sowing the seeds, the children who reaped the harvest finally gained new life.

A child named Anan took on the task of entering the deep mountains to find the elders’ remains, now needing to bury them properly, burn incense, and offer prayers, letting them know their children survived, leading a good life, and had enough to eat.

Anan, after countless hardships, finally found the elders’ remains and brought them back.

But upon returning to the village, he was devastated to discover that the entire village had turned into a Ghost Realm, with all the villagers massacred; they still hadn’t survived.

Anan went mad, wanting revenge, yet he didn’t know who to avenge, as those outsiders, like gods, descended from the sky and flew away among the clouds.

Anan didn’t even know how to locate them, let alone seek revenge.

The crazed Anan jumped into the ancient well, intending to end his life.

Yet he did not die; instead, he found a golden seed submerged in a crevice at the bottom of the well.

Upon touching the golden seed, it seemed to possess its own Spiritual Sense, taking root in Anan’s body, transforming him into a Golden Giant.

The Illusion Realm suddenly came to a standstill at this moment.

The entire world seemed to freeze, except for a vague light figure emerging from the still world, walking step by step towards Chen Guan.

"After seeing the story of Ancient Well Village, what are your thoughts?" The towering light figure asked, standing before Chen Guan, requiring him to look up just to see his face.

But that face was shrouded in a hazy glow, making it impossible to discern his features or even determine whether it was a man or a woman, the voice being equally indistinguishable and ethereal.

"Who are you?" Chen Guan asked.

"I am... a lingering soul... an illusion... a clone... perhaps... you may call me the Netherworld Emperor..." the light figure said with a smile.

"What do you want me to do?" Chen Guan wasn’t surprised, as this was the inheritance left behind by the Netherworld Emperor.

However, it seemed the golden seed was not the Netherworld Emperor’s inheritance, but something that fell from the sky.

"That is a question you must ask yourself; what do you want to do?" The Netherworld Emperor extended a finger to touch Chen Guan, then retreated backwards.

"What do you mean?" Chen Guan watched in surprise as the Netherworld Emperor vanished, the scenery before him shifting once more.

The Illusion Realm dissipated, and before him lay the same dilapidated village, with the wounded Xiu Jie Ming and Fu Tianji still frozen in their earlier postures, as if the long illusionary scene Chen Guan witnessed passed by in merely a moment.
