Chapter 252: Mysterious Message
“Words? This is… the script of the Myriad Spirits Realm,” Yunyao leaned in closer.
The two huddled together, reading the words on the tray. Yunyao’s body was so close that Zhanyue could smell her faint fragrance. However, her attention was entirely focused on the iron tray, not noticing Zhanyue’s actions. Suddenly, Zhanyue felt a strong urge to embrace this woman, a feeling he had never experienced so intensely before.
“No, I’m afraid she’d kill me,” Zhanyue gritted his teeth, finally suppressing that inexplicable impulse.
“What’s wrong with you?” Yunyao turned her head, looking at Zhanyue quizzically. He seemed to be in pain.
“Nothing… nothing, just continue reading,” Zhanyue struggled to calm himself, but was confused about what was happening to him. Why did he feel such uncontrollable lust? But thinking carefully, the previous impulse didn’t seem to be lust, but more like a possessive desire, a desire to completely possess Yunyao, not letting anyone else touch her. “I hope it’s just my imagination.”
Zhanyue collected himself and began reading the words on the bronze tray.
“I am a visitor from beyond this world, leaving this message to explain some things. In the past, I came from beyond the sky, landing on the northern grasslands. To heal my injuries, I used the ‘Heavenly Creation Stealing Technique’, absorbing all the life force from the entire grassland. From then on, no life could survive on this land, and soon after, the world’s largest grassland became the largest desert.”
“Though I didn’t intend this, I had no choice for my survival. The races living on the grassland migrated south, with many dying along the way. My heart was originally as hard as iron, having destroyed countless planets and innumerable lives on them, let alone the ant-like alien races of an unfamiliar world.”
“But I didn’t expect that incident to happen… Anyway, to show my apology, I left a piece of Life-Nurturing Soil. This object can create an oasis in the endless desert for them to live. If you can see these words, it means you’ve taken the Life-Nurturing Soil. If there are no living beings left in the oasis, you can take this soil. But if some races still live in the oasis, taking the Life-Nurturing Soil means making an enemy of me. I advise you to return it quickly, otherwise, even across time and causality, I will take your life!”
