201: Chapter 56 My Appearance Belongs to You (Part 2)_1 201: Chapter 56 My Appearance Belongs to You (Part 2)_1 The warm dormitory was still as cozy as ever.
Ye Yinzhu tiptoed out of the bedroom, careful not to wake Sura, who was cultivating in meditation.
Once in the hall, he immediately repeated what he had done in that cave within the Amethyst Clan Territory.
The purple light flowed, and the first thing that appeared was a purple hexagram, followed by one plicated symbol after another.
The moment the last line was pleted, a layer of purple misty light burst forth, making the entire hall shine brilliantly.
But when the light quietly faded, all traces on the ground had disappeared.
Without the Amethyst Orb’s probing, nobody could detect this special ancient matrix formation.
Having pleted this, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but walk to the sofa on one side and sit down.
Consuming over sixty percent of his spiritual power so quickly was taxing even for him, with his substantial mental fortitude.
The gift from the Silver Dragon King, Howard, showed its worth for the first time, and fortunately for Ye Yinzhu, the teleportation he was about to conduct was only for himself, which wouldn’t consume too much mana.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to go to Zi just yet.
After a brief rest, Ye Yinzhu’s spirit had recovered somewhat.
He walked back to where he had drawn the magic formation.
The Amethyst Orb appeared again, floating above his head.
This was his first time using this kind of teleportation.
In the memories left by the Silver Dragon King, using the Amethyst Orb for teleportation, the consumption of spiritual power increased with the distance and the number of people.
If the spiritual power could not meet the requirements for teleportation, the attempt would fail, and his spiritual power would be drained.
A ring of purple halo was released from the Amethyst Orb as Ye Yinzhu infused it with his spiritual power.
Through the connection of his spiritual power, he could clearly sense two spiritual imprints within the Amethyst Orb, one right beneath his feet, and the other, naturally, was where Zi was.
The purple light ascended, and the previously vanished purple imprint on the ground reappeared.
As a layer of purple light enveloped him, Ye Yinzhu felt a tenth of his spiritual power being consumed in an instant, and the next moment, he had disappeared from the dormitory.
Teleportation through the Amethyst Orb was pletely different from Zi’s summons.
A nearly tearing pain emanated from around his body.
Zhu Douqi was instinctively released, protecting his body and somewhat alleviating the pain.
Everything around him was misty purple as if without end.
It seemed like a very long time had passed, and as Ye Yinzhu felt his Douqi being consumed more and more, he finally reached his destination.
The purple light vanished, and everything around him darkened.
The still-cold air and Zi’s surprised gaze told him that he had succeeded.
The magic formation on the floor was slowly fading away.
The Milan Empire bordered the Northernmost Wilderness, not too far a distance, plus Ye Yinzhu’s teleportation was only for himself, so the spiritual power consumed was not particularly massive.
Nevertheless, after this ordeal, his spiritual power was now less than thirty percent.
The feeling of weakness made him vigilant – the Amethyst Orb’s teleportation was certainly convenient, but the consumption was also extremely great.
It was good for rushing along, but he must still be cautious.
He let out a breath, “Thank goodness I made it.
Zi, now we can have our chat without worrying about the half-hour limitation.”
Zi, surprised, looked at the Amethyst Orb that had fallen into Ye Yinzhu’s hands, “This is a Teleportation Crystal.
Its existence nowadays is unprecedented.
And such a large one, it seems capable of range teleportation.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “The maximum number of people to transport should be one hundred.
After being a Foreign Silver Dragon, the Silver Dragon King gave it to win me over.”
A knowing smile with deep meaning appeared in Zi’s eyes, “A stick followed by a carrot.
The Silver Dragon King does have some brains.
This is a great item!
Even in the history of our Amethyst Clan, there were few occurrences recorded on the continent, and many of them were damaged.
Yinzhu, you have to be careful when using it to teleport, and you must ensure safety before using it.
Otherwise, if it’s disrupted by external forces, the Teleportation Crystal will immediately be damaged.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I’ll be careful.
Zi, now can you tell me about your origins?”
Zi gestured for Ye Yinzhu to sit down beside him, a layer of purple light mist passed through his purple pupils.
With a light sigh, he said, “This starts with my ancestors.
In the ancient times, or rather after the birth of the Ryuzakinus Continent, as life evolved, some powerful races began to emerge.
At that time, the Ryuzakinus Continent was not as vast as it is now, approximately only half its current size, roughly the size of the current Northernmost Wilderness added to the Milan Empire, the Ascoli Kingdom, and half of the Palermo Kingdom.
That area is the current northwestern part of the Ryuzakinus Continent.
At that time, the several major races that appeared were located in different places.
Your Humans were still very weak, in a primal state, viewed by other powerful races only as food and slaves.
These major races were divided according to region.
One of them was our Amethyst Behemoth clan, and another one was what is now the Dragon Clan.
At that time, our two clans were the most dominant beings.
In simple terms, the Giant Divine Dragons are the ancestors of today’s Dragon Clan, and our Amethyst Behemoths are the ancestors of the Behemoth Beast clan.
We lived in the Northernmost Wilderness, with many allies, and we Behemoths were the most powerful race at that time.
All the Beastman Clans are our vassals.
Back then, we weren’t called Behemoth; we were known as Holy Beasts, Holy Amethyst Beasts, the absolute rulers of the Northernmost Wilderness.” As he spoke of this, Zi seemed to recall the glory of his ancestors, and the purple in his eyes intensified.
After a pause, he continued, “At that time, the Dragon Clan primarily roamed around what is now the Ascoli Kingdom and the territories near the Milan Empire.
Although they were not few in number, they were not yet a threat to our Beastman Clan.
The Giant Divine Dragons were indeed powerful, but they were still slightly inferior to my ancestors.
At that time, the main allies of the Dragon Clan were the Elf Tribe, the Dwarves, and the now extinct Winged Race.
We the Beastmen were not very interested in invasion; the Northernmost Wilderness was not as cold as it is today and was rich in resources, enough for us to be self-sufficient.
However, such peace did not last long.”
A hint of faint sadness appeared in Zi’s emotions.
Ye Yinzhu did not interrupt him and listened as he continued, “The Dragon Clan was lecherous by nature, especially the higher-ranking members of the Dragon Clan.
They would mate with almost any race, and with the continuous birth of their offspring, sub-Dragons emerged, which you now call Dragon Tamers.
Although these Dragon Tamers are far inferior to the true Dragon Clan, they were pletely obedient to the Dragon Clan.
With their numbers increasing rapidly, the ambitions of the Dragon Clan grew, and they began to covet our Beastman’s Northernmost Wilderness.
The war thus began at that time.”
Ye Yinzhu looked at Zi in surprise.
Although his impression of the Dragon Clan was very poor, in his understanding, the Dragon Clan did not seem to be very aggressive.
Under the effect of the soul-binding contract, Zi sensed the doubts in Ye Yinzhu’s heart and smiled, “I understand what you are thinking, but what I am telling you is the truth.
The Dragon Clan of ancient times is not entirely the same as the Dragon Clan of today.
Back then, the true Giant Dragons always maintained a number around one hundred thousand.
Think about it, one hundred thousand Giant Dragons!
Add to that millions of Sub-Dragons, what a formidable force that was!
Could they be content with tranquility?
The Dragon Clan of today, struggling even to surpass a thousand in numbers, what can they invade?
Humans might be weak as individuals, but their intelligence is something the Dragon Clan cannot match.
The mere existence of Faran’s Seventh Tower prevents the Dragon Clan from making any rash moves.”
One hundred thousand Giant Dragons?
Ye Yinzhu’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Having witnessed the power of the Dragon Clan, he naturally understood what one hundred thousand Giant Dragons meant.
If there still were one hundred thousand Giant Dragons today, they would probably be able to easily sweep the entire Ryuzakinus Continent.
“Zi, were those one hundred thousand dragons and millions of Sub-Dragons eradicated in the battle with your Behemoth clan?” If that were true, how brutal that war must have been!
Zi shook his head, “No, that’s not what happened.
Although both our Behemoths and the Dragon Clan were extremely powerful at that time, neither had gone insane to the point of mutual annihilation.
After the Dragon Clan started the war against us, although the war persisted, it mostly consumed ordinary Beastmen and Sub-Dragons.
The losses for our Behemoths and the Giant Dragons weren’t too substantial.
With the war’s continuation, allies of both sides gradually joined the conflict, spreading this war between the Behemoths and Dragons to every corner of the continent.
Although the Dragon Clan had bee much stronger than before due to the large number of Sub-Dragons, we Beastmen are naturally outstanding warriors, so it was not easy for them to gain the upper hand.
This war lasted a full thousand years.
Your Humans, it was during those one thousand years, that you quietly grew.”
At this point, a trace of fear suddenly appeared in Zi’s eyes, “Just after the first thousand years of war, Divine Punishment appeared.
Unexpected changes occurred across the continent.
Ancestors’ memories are filled with fear.
It might have been a punishment from Heaven for the long war between the Behemoths and the Dragon Clan, but it was so cruel.
That Divine Punishment also caused the sharp decline in the numbers of both Behemoths and Dragons and turned the Northernmost Wilderness into a world of ice and snow.”
