Chapter 690: Chapter 344: Gene Toxin Sting, Pilgrimage Angel Host Body_1

[You are taken by courier bug to the ’Forbidden Lake’...]

The courier bug continues to delve deeper underground, taking far longer than usual.

After over half an hour, you finally arrive at your destination.

[...]

[The vibrations cease and the buggy’s lateral meat membrane opens...]

[You take a deep breath in the endless darkness, smelling the rich, damp air...]

[You hop out of the vehicle, and the courier bug emits a distressed chirp before burrowing into the ground and disappearing.]

[You focus True Element into your eyes and can finally see the scene in front of you.]

[You are in an incredibly vast underground area, where a large amber-hued lake stretches out before you, the waters tranquil and deep with not a single ripple.]

[Two statues stand on the edge of the lake, one of the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ feeding maggots, and the other, the ’Initial Firefly’, casting a soft light.]

[Both statues are riddled with cracks, and it seems the slightest force could make them crumble and collapse.]

[You approach the two statues...]

[Suddenly, you hear a deep, masculine shout...]

[Soldier, take command! Seize your weapon and slay your loathed enemy!]

[The shouting echoes across the lake. Startled, you look around trying to trace its source.]

[But the lake is as calm as ever, and you are the only one on the lakeshore.]

[Just as you are looking around, the man’s deep voice rises again, urging you to slay your enemy...]

[Looking at the two statues in front of you, you have an epiphany. The enemy the voice is referring to must be one of these two statues.]

[Will you attack the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ statue, strike at the ’Initial Firefly’ statue, or do nothing and leave this place?]

Lin Xun squints his eyes and firmly chooses the first option.

[You activate the sword art and the ’Rotating Stars Immortal Sword’ transforms into a sharp sword light, instantly piercing through the statue of the ’Desire Wet Nurse’.]

[The statue cracks all over and emits the ’cracking’ sound of stones shattering. It then crumbles into countless small fragments.]

[The ’Initial Firefly’ statue on the side suddenly emits a dazzling light that illuminates the lake and the entire underground space.]

[The cracks on the Firefly statue are quickly healing and in no time it’s as shiny and new as before. Not only that, but you find that the statue almost... comes to life?]

[The Firefly statue’s eyes display a vivacious spirit, and its wing cases vibrate continually, detaching from the statue base and soaring into the air...]

[The glowing organ at the end of the statue’s abdomen keeps flickering. Bathed in warm light, you felt as if you were soaked in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.]

"Finally! The Main God has shown itself!"

Lin Xun jolts awake, knowing that what he is witnessing now is probably the manifestation of ’Initial Firefly’.

[The Firefly’s mandibles part and the deep voice of the man rings out again...]

[You, the one who came after, I’m afraid that you’ll be disappointed. It’s not the supreme Firefly, but ’Belatu’, the one who guided you here.]

[If you’re here, that means you’ve read its note. If you can shatter the wet nurse statue, it proves you hate the wet nurse as much as it does...]

[To see a successor arrive so quickly, you have to say, this is an incredibly exciting thing.]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth: "What’s going on?"

He thought he was finally going to meet his own strong allies, but it turned out that the soul possessing the statue was Belatu.

"To look on the bright side, Belatu can be considered as one of my important allies..."

"But wasn’t Belatu killed?"

[’Belatu’ continues to tell its story. You must be curious. It was killed on the battlefield, so how could it appear here and communicate with you in this way...]

[This is not important, you just need to know that if you serve the Firefly with all your heart, even if your body perishes, the Firefly will grant you the ability to exist in the network of consciousness, allowing you to attain eternal life in another way.]

[The firefly will also give you power, making you incredibly strong so you can continue to resist the wet nurse...]

[Wait! You’re not a citizen and child who rebelled against the wet nurse, are you the ’Firefly Envoy’?!]

[The glow at the Firefly’s tail suddenly goes out, its wing cases cease to vibrate, and it lands back on the pedestal, turning back into a cold, lifeless statue...]

[...]

[After waiting for quite some time, the Firefly statue awakens again, and the man’s deep voice rings out...]

[Please forgive it for not recognizing your identity just now and disregard what it’s just said.]

[The ’Firefly Envoy’ has taken up the will of the Supreme Firefly, coming to this former Divine Kingdom to accomplish its mission.]

[As a believer of the Firefly, it will strive to help you.]

[To accomplish your mission, the first thing you need to do is retrieve its stinger abandoned in the world.]

[It has left a number of stingers on the battlefield, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. Finding these stingers won’t be easy and will likely take a lot of effort.]

[Once you find the stingers, come back here and pray to the statue, it will then provide you with help...]

"What a coincidence."

Lin Xun is momentarily startled before quickly reacting.

He rapidly opens his inventory, clicking on the unused item ’Belatu’s Stinger’.

[You take out ’Belatu’s Stinger’, asking if this is what it needs?]

[The Firefly appears surprised, ’Belatu’ didn’t expect you to complete the first step so quickly, and it silently accepts the stinger...]
