The Great Genetic Era

Chapter 1605 – 1605 Lord of All Ghosts

1605 Lord of All Ghosts

“No wonder you refused to believe Jing Jiaren no matter how she explained it.” Only then did Zhan Wuya understand why Ye Qingyang remained calm and clear-headed when Jing Jiaren took the initiative to apologize to Ye Qingyang.

Because during the years he was hunted down by ghosts, he realized that no one cared about him at all.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Originally, there was no Spirit Calming Tree in the Undead Continent. After the Undead Divine Master died, all his cultivation returned to the Undead Core. The bloodline and bones in his Divine Master body turned into the Spirit Calming Tree and became a refuge for the undead who had nowhere to go.”

Sheng Xiao looked at Ye Qingyang.

Ye Qingyang felt awkward when he met Sheng Xiao’s gaze.

Sheng Xiao said, “Look, even though you’re dead, you’re still protecting your people. You’re a true Divine Master.” Divine Masters would never abandon their people.

And humans never worshipped useless people.

Divine Masters who abandoned their people would also be abandoned by the world.

Holy Spirit Goldfeather was the best example.

“Let’s go.”

They continued south. Along the way, they encountered many more Spirit Calming Trees. As they continued south, they met some lonely souls. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, so the weak lonely souls were hiding all the time in order to survive.

The further south they went, the stronger the lonely souls they encountered.

They even saw a city. That city was extremely imposing and looked no different from those ancient cities on the demon beast continent. Zhan Wuya even saw some people standing on the city wall!

“These people…”

“They’re all phantoms.” Ye Qingyang answered Zhan Wuya’s doubts.

Ye Qingyang told Zhan Wuya, “Although the Undead Continent is where the phantoms gather, there is also spiritual energy on this continent. After the phantom bodies absorb enough spiritual energy, they can obtain a new body. They’ll look no different from ordinary people. They can also eat, cultivate, communicate, and even get married. However, they don’t have fertility or hearts.”

“Wherever there are people living, there will naturally be tribes and towns. There must be a Ghost King in a city of this scale, and there are ten thousand Ghost Kings on the phantom continent. Most of the time, they live in their own cities and don’t interfere with each other.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Only one female phantom with fertility can appear in every billion phantoms. The child born by this female phantom is a Spirit Carrying Bone that is only seen once in ten thousand years. I met a Spirit Carrying Bone on the Holy Spirit Continent.”

That person was Xuanyuan Shen’s wife, Liuli Nuonuo. It was precisely because of this that she was chosen by Holy Spirit Goldfeather and became his Spirit Carrying Body.

Ye Qingyang nodded and affirmed Sheng Xiao’s words. “You’re right. However, there has only been one female phantom with fertility in the Undead Continent. After that female phantom gave birth to a baby girl, her soul dissipated.”

“In that case, even if phantoms can give birth, they have to pay the price of their souls dissipating.” Sheng Xiao didn’t expect that Liuli Nuonuo’s mother’s soul dissipated after giving birth to her.

“Yes. It’s said that because that baby girl was born with a Spirit Carrying Bone, as long as any phantom attached to her, they could be reborn. The birth of that baby girl once caused the most epic battle between ghosts in the history of the Undead Continent. However, in the end, that baby girl was still taken away by her father.”

“The Spirit Carrying Bone can revive phantoms. The Ghost Kings are powerful and want to be revived, so it’s not surprising that the Spirit Carrying Bone attracted their attention,” Zhan Wuya analyzed.

Zhan Wuya noticed that not only were there tall buildings in the city, but there were also more than ten huge Spirit Calming Trees that towered into the clouds, so he asked in confusion, “Why are there so many Spirit Calming Trees here?” They had only encountered seven to eight Spirit Calming Trees along the way south, and they were all small crooked trees.

Ye Qingyang said, “The Spirit Calming Tree here was occupied by the Ghost King thousands of years ago. The Ghost King used the Spirit Calming Tree to control those phantoms and make them help him capture lonely souls. If they perform well, they can obtain a position on the Spirit Calming Tree.”

To put it bluntly, these Spirit Calming Trees were the Ghost Kings’ most important assets. He controlled all the citizens through the Spirit Calming Trees.

Ye Qingyang suddenly said, “When I first arrived at the Undead Continent, I was captured by them and sent to a Ghost King. He almost refined me.”

“Then how did you escape?” Zhan Wuya desperately wanted to know the answer.

Ye Qingyang looked at Sheng Xiao first. Seeing that Sheng Xiao was calm, he said to Zhan Wuya, “I ate the Ghost King.”

Zhan Wuya widened his eyes slightly and hesitated for a long time before patting Ye Qingyang’s shoulder heavily as he said, “It’s been hard on you.”

Ye Qingyang stuck out his tongue and licked his sharp canine teeth. His eyes flickered with ghost fire as he said to Zhan Wuya, “Don’t provoke me. I’m weak now. Be careful or I’ll eat you. You’re a nutritious tonic.”

Zhan Wuya covered Ye Qingyang’s mouth and said with an impassive expression, “Don’t tease me.”

Ye Qingyang was speechless.

Sheng Xiao laughed and said, “Stop fooling around.”

“This is too much of a waste of time,” Ye Qingyang suddenly said. “I’ll drive you guys to the Central Pagoda.”

Ye Qingyang’s body suddenly disappeared, and the world instantly turned from orange-red to pitch-black. In the black clouds, there was the sound of wings flapping. Immediately after, a sharp and eerie phoenix cry resounded throughout the Undead Continent.

Eternal was shocked. “This is… His Highness?” Eternal looked at the Netherworld Phoenix hidden in the dark clouds in disbelief as he asked Sheng Xiao, “Master, Ye Qingyang is His Highness?”

After Zhan Wuya pricked up his ears, he heard Sheng Xiao say to Eternal, “He is Ling Xiao’s reincarnation.”

After Sheng Xiao confirmed his guess, Eternal became excited. “That’s great. His Highness’s soul has successfully reincarnated!”

At the same time, all the Ghost Kings on the phantom continent were so shocked that they appeared from the Spirit Calming Tree when they saw the arrival of the night and heard the bird cry that made their scalps tingle and their hearts tremble in fear. They knelt down towards the Southern Continent in unison and shouted, “Welcome, Lord of All Ghosts!”

Ye Qingyang, who wasn’t tolerated by the cultivation world, was a supreme existence on the phantom continent.

Because he had once personally killed ten thousand Ghost Kings.

The current Ghost Kings on the phantom continent were all trusted aides nurtured by Ye Qingyang himself, so they were looking forward to the return of the Lord of All Ghosts every day.
