Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 25: Awakening
"Yes, in fact, you should know that the choice of what to do is in your hands, I still say that."
Chen Xiaoyue said lightly.
Chen Kaiyu thought about it seriously for a while, and he shouted Tashan.
"What's the matter, Chen Kaiyu, is there something wrong with me?"
Tower Hill bent over.
"There's one thing I want to discuss with you, I don't know if it's time to talk about it?" Chen Kaiyu said.
"But it doesn't matter, my life is yours."
Tashan said bluntly.
"This matter has something to do with your sister."
Chen Kaiyu carefully observed Tashan's face and found that his face did not change in the slightest, and continued.
"Something to do with my sister?"
Tashan hesitated a little, but still nodded and motioned for Chen Kaiyu to continue.
"Then I said it...... I need to awaken the Source Energy, but the premise of the Awakening Source Energy is that I must have four devout beings to help me. ”
Chen Kaiyu paused.
"You can take a look at this ancient book, which records the manipulation of rituals and the process......
Chen Kaiyu said and handed the ancient book to Tashan.
He took it, staring at the page with eyes the size of brass bells.
"You should be literate, right? Tower Hill? ”
"Yes."
Tower Hill nodded.
"Colorless Source Energy!"
Tower Hill seemed to be taken aback......
"Do you know your family?"
I don't know. Chen Kaiyu shook his head.
He asked, looking at Tashan.
"What's wrong with that?"
"If you are really colorless source energy, then I can tell you very clearly that tens of thousands of years ago, this family of yours was extinct, and there is no such colorless source energy in heaven and earth......
"But now you're telling me that you have this colorless source energy, can you show me a little bit of it?"
"How do you see that?"
Chen Kaiyu asked Tashan.
Tashan put his hand on his shoulder.
"I can sense your bloodline through my mind."
"You can try it."
Chen Kaiyu said.
Chen Xiaoyue was always a silent bystander, and she watched the exchange between the two men without saying a word.
"First of all, I'd like to ask how you determined your colorless source energy?"
Tashan asked Chen Kaiyu while letting go.
"My sister said that, and I can feel that I am a colorless source energy based on the analysis of the picture above."
"Because I don't have any attribute source energy right now, I can't release any source energy at all."
"Understood."
Tashan nodded, and his face grew heavy.
"Yes, you are indeed from the bloodline of that ancient family."
"What family? Can you tell me? Tower Hill. Chen Kaiyu asked.
"A very powerful family, standing at the top of all the races in the world, in the era ruled by this family, all living beings will surrender."
"But tens of thousands of years ago, a rebellion and the turmoil of the Dark Ages withered that huge family, and later some hostile forces feared the reawakening of this family, so they purged it again and again, leading to the extinction of this family......" Tower Hill Gloom tells a fact.
"And what am I?" Chen Kaiyu said with a wry smile.
Tashan glanced at him.
"I don't know." He shook his head.
"Okay, okay, then let's not talk about these ......" Chen Kaiyu ended the topic.
"In the year 6666 of the Dawn Era, this family was shattered, and there was no such family posture in heaven and earth." Tashan continued.
"You seem to know a lot of things, Tower Hill, where did you come from before?" Chen Kaiyu asked.
"I come from a large ethnic group. I was born into a nobleman, but I was framed and did not awaken the source energy, so I was spurned by my family and had to live here...... Taste the world. ”
"Su Huo, she is not my own sister, she was picked up by me on the road, and she once helped me." Tashan said.
"Hmm." Chen Kaiyu nodded.
"So are you willing to help me awaken the Source Energy now?" Chen Kaiyu asked.
"Of course I do, it's my pleasure."
"I can obey your orders unconditionally, well, so be it." Tashan said humbly.
"If it succeeds, each of the five of us will awaken a principle. If that fails...... We're just talking in the dark hell, okay? ”
"Of course, it's not a good time to awaken the source energy during the dead period...... "Tashan reminded.
"I see, I'll do some preparations." Chen Kaiyu nodded.
"As for Su Huo, do you still tell her?"
"No, if all four of us die, then she'll die too...... So it's better for the five of us to welcome death or new life together. ”
Tower Hill's face is incomparably solemn, reminiscent of the majesty of the Eternal Mountains that reach into the sky on the Southern Subcontinent.
"Alright, go and rest, Tower Hill, there's nothing for you here." Chen Kaiyu said with a smile.
"Yes, sir." He nodded.
Tower Hill bent back under his blanket.
The room echoed with the laughter of the girls like silver bells and the clapping of the claws of the flaming cats from time to time, and the two little ones had a good time.
Chen Kaiyu once again set his eyes on Chen Xiaoyue.
"Do you trust my decision?"
Chen Xiaoyue raised her delicate eyebrows.
"I don't care about your affairs, the decision-making power is handed over to you, anyway, whether you awaken or not, my life is yours."
Her tone was indifferent, reminiscent of the 10,000-year-old ice that had been frozen in ice.
"Hmm." Chen Kaiyu nodded heavily.
For the next few days, everything fell into a deathly silence, and there was not a single roar between heaven and earth.
This is the period of silence......
However, everyone in the room survived the dead silence period peacefully, not attacked by the cold, and was very safe.
This is what Chen Kaiyu and Chen Xiaoyue want to see the most.
After the period of silence, the weather gradually warmed up, the sun shone high, and the snowflakes melted and turned into gurgling water, moistening everything in heaven and earth.
On the day of the end of the dead period, Chen Kaiyu was ready for everything.
He now had a place for the ceremony.
According to the information and records in ancient books, this ritual must be carried out in great secrecy.
But don't pay too much attention to it, because Chen Kaiyu can do it at any time, and he only needs the blood of four sacrificial beings.
At that moment, Chen Kaiyu decided to start.
He gathered Tashan Chen Xiaoyue, Su Huo, and the Flame Cat, and then used the steel knife in his hand to cut the fingers of each living being......
The blood slowly fell on Chen Kaiyu's lips......
Then it's time to chant the mantra:
This is the mine of the soul, obscure, far away, ancient and mysterious......
They walked silently through the darkness, like hidden silver veins, blood gushing out from between the rock roots, towards the human world.
In the eternal night, it is as heavy as a rock.
Other than that, there is no red thing
Chen Kaiyu felt the bloody breath in his throat.
An aura of ancient and solemn, as if it came from distant space, shot straight at the tip of his heart.
This aura was so distant and huge that it seemed to shatter his soul in an instant.
Severe pain...... The pain like a thousand knives swept through his whole body in an instant.
Chen Kaiyu gritted his teeth and silently endured this bitter pain......
Suddenly, the pain as if it had come from far away space receded.
A magical sound pierced the sky.
The pain of the world is gradually receding.
Chen Kaiyu slowly opened his pupils, his eyes seemed to be condensed with flames, the fire-like hot magma was slowly flowing, and his eyes flashed with a fierce dark gold.
He raised the stone knife in his hand and waved it lightly at the heavens and the earth.
When this knife is swung, it is extremely lonely, it is in the frustrated cutting time, the white bird, or the girl's eyebrows......
At the same time, when he swung this knife, he was extremely solemn, he swung the mountain and the sea, he stood on the edge of the high platform, and the heavy knife like the mountain swung out the sword light like the tide of the sea......
Chen Kaiyu put down the stone knife in his hand and slowly looked around.
He felt the surging aura in his body, revealing a faint purple light all over his body.
Chen Kaiyu's fingers turned slightly, and the silk threads were as dense as spider webs...... Wrap around him.
The purple silk thread tore through the air, this was the tyrannical aura of thunder and lightning, coming from above the Nine Heavens Thunder, with the breath of the primeval desolate beast.
At the same time, the four sacrificed creatures ......
Tashan, Chen Xiaoyue, Flame Cat and Su Huo......
All three of them and the cat fell into a deep sleep, their foreheads flashing with visible marks.
Chen Kaiyu waited silently, this is the step of the ritual, he has succeeded, then the next thing is to wait for the source energy of the four people to awaken.
It may be a long process, it may be short, it may be a long time, who knows?
The first to awaken was Tashan, perhaps because of his physical fitness, he took the lead in awakening.
He stood up, as indestructible as a mountain, his body wrapped around a sandy rock shield, a dignified earth element.
This is the source energy of the soil system.
Chen Kaiyu smiled at him, and Tashan nodded.
The next awakening was the Flame Cat, and the awakening of this kitten surprised Chen Kaiyu very much.
The flame cat's body burned like a fire, it was a stagnant crimson, and the high temperature seemed to scorch the heavens and the earth, and melt the nine heavens and ten earths.
Chen Kaiyu recalled in his mind what Chen Xiaoyue had told him.
Could this little guy be the heir of the Red Flame Tmall? Anyway, the power of its awakening frightened Chen Kaiyu and Tashan, and the body of this awakened cat exuded an emperor-like majesty.
Who knows?
The Flame Cat was burning with its flesh, its hair, and all its cells burned away from the golden flames......
All that remained was a skull like white porcelain, emitting a dazzling golden light.
The cat-shaped skeleton slowly metamorphosed, the withered cells of its body seemed to be cremated, and the shriveled muscles and gushing veins that spewed out of the cracks in the bones emerged under the skin......
He was restored from a mummified skeleton to a living appearance.
But he was burdened with only boneless eyes and bareness
From its open chest, one could see the great, humble heart beating, and the signs of life and death appeared on its body at the same time, blooming like a flower.
It has a cat-like body, but once again reigns in the form of a dragon, inspiring a fiery fighting spirit.
It spreads its arms and roars to the sky with the fury of a dragon, but it has a cat-like body.
The Flame Cat has awakened, exuding boundless power......
The third awakened one is Su Huo.
Maybe it's because the two little guys are very fateful......
The little girl, like the Flame Cat, also awakens the fire element.
Very similar fire elemental, but her fire elemental is much dimmer.
No!!!
The dim black blazing and eerie flames, like deep flames from hell, seemed to be able to inspire everything.
Chen Kaiyu looked at Tashan and asked.
"Have you ever heard of the Black Flame? You're well-informed. ”
Tashan pondered for a long time, and then opened his eyes.
His tone was heavy.
"This seems to be the kind of black flame that only the Hells have......"
"Hell? Isn't that a race that has perished? Chen Kaiyu asked in surprise.
"I don't know."
Tashan shook his head.
"If a race like yours can survive, then it doesn't seem like the hellish race is extinct...... You also know the status of the Cult of the Illuminati, what would they do if they found out that there were creatures of hell? Tashan's expression was a little solemn.
"Don't worry, this is the eastern seaboard, and without the people of the Cult of Light, we may not be able to get out of here for the rest of our lives."
Chen Kaiyu said with a smile.
"Tashan, you don't have to be nervous anymore."
"Well, I see, though, this black flame can change colors." Tashan nodded in response.
"Oh, that couldn't be better."
Chen Kaiyu still said with a smile.
The last one to awaken was Chen Xiaoyue.
She was covered in a silvery blue splash...... It's as big as a tide of rage.
Tiny silver-blue splashes seemed to engulf the entire canopy.
Torrents of water gushed out of her soft body and were then sucked into it, and this was the power of the water element.
This is the power that nourishes all things, and this is the softest force that represents nature.
This is the water element, the source energy of the water system.
Chen Xiaoyue opened her moving eyes, she stepped forward, took a few steps, and gently hugged Chen Kaiyu.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity." Her voice was soft and melodious.
Chen Kaiyu patted him gently.
"No thanks, this is also a gift you have given me, we help each other. Eventually, our dreams will come true. ”
Only Chen Kaiyu knew how eager this girl was for awakening source energy...... Although she didn't say anything, Chen Kaiyu could really feel the extreme desire in her heart......
"Yes, thank you."
Chen Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
Next, everyone greeted each other for a while.
Tashan touched his head and said to Chen Kaiyu.
"Well, I might be leaving, maybe your City Watch is coming to patrol...... If you find out that I'm not from here, you might get in big trouble. Tashan said without losing any time.
At this moment, this honest and sturdy man thought in his heart that he must repay Chen Kaiyu well, even if it was at the cost of his own life...... Because, this kind man, is completely worthy of him doing this.
"Xiaohuo, we're leaving."
He called out to the little girl.
The little girl's eyes showed a little reluctance.
She stood still, black flames dissipating and disappearing within her body.
There seemed to be stars in the dull and cute eyes, but at this moment, there was a glimmer of heartbreaking crystal.
Anyone could tell that the little girl still didn't want to leave......
Chen Kaiyu said with a smile.
"Since Xiaohuo doesn't want to go, then don't let him go yet."
Listening to Chen Kaiyu's words, Tashan's brows frowned slightly.
"But what about the patrol? If they find out, they'll get you in trouble. ”
Tashan said hesitantly.
