How could her substitute, a statue, be desecrated in such a manner?
In ancient times, Emperor Zeke had disrespected Gaea, leading to the destruction of his country.
Currently, not only was Alex committing blasphemy, but he was committing a heinous crime. Thus, she had to grind his bones into ashes.
However…
It was then she heard a quarrel. It seemed that misfortune was about to befall that bast*rd.
The woman was instantly delighted since someone had stepped in to teach that sinner a lesson, undoubtedly a lot better than doing it herself. Hence, she decided to stay put and watch his suffering from afar.
At that moment, things nearly went out of control. Alex’s boldness exceeded everyone’s imagination. As they defended their lord anxiously, Lorelei and the other women couldn’t wait to kill Alex.
“Wait a minute!” the seed shouted, attempting to stop them.
“Young Lord, this guy said a load of bullsh*t and insulted you! He shall be punished for his misdemeanor!” said a woman.
“He deserves to be killed, of course!” The seed’s voice sounded indifferent with a hint of cruelty. He then stared at Alex and said, “However, this guy has some great secrets and holds grand opportunities. As the seed, I am obligated to take over his opportunities! Moreover, he seems to know about my existence, judging from his words. Tell me. Who told you about me?”
Presently, Ancestor Bodhi telepathically spoke to Alex’s mind place, telling him that everything was ready and he could escape at any time. Alex’s lips curled, and his restless mind calmed down.
Nonetheless, unbeknownst to him, the statue in the shrine had captured this secret move.
‘This is… The Ancestral Bodhi Tree? This sinner has a trick up his sleeve! Anyhow, his trump card is futile in my eyes! I’ll make you happy now, but later, you can’t even cry if you want to!’
On the other hand, the seed finally knew the identity of the great Genbu that Alex just mentioned. “You’re talking about the old tortoise! What? Did he just die? I thought he died three millennia ago! He lived long enough if he managed to live for another three millennia. Many people didn’t live as long as he did back then.”
Alex shook his head. “If he were to know that you, the person he tried so hard to protect, would have such attitude, he wouldn’t rest peacefully, right?”
The seed said with a smile, “What does it have to do with me if he can’t rest in peace? I am the seed! They did it of their own volition! Fine! Since you are the fake seed, all the more reason for you to serve me. I will give you a chance of survival. Let go of your mind and let me probe your memories. If you don’t, I will search your soul forcefully, and you will only end up as an idiot.”
“I have just made a decision. Do you want to hear it?” Alex replied, smiling.
“What kind of decision?” the seed asked.
“I’m going to become the real seed!” Alex answered.
