Chapter 1288 - 489: Time Retrospection, Grim Restart_2
"In the eyes of our Flash Alliance, this is nothing but a failure to develop properly in the womb, with inherent potential left untapped, ultimately leading to deformity or sudden death—a truly pitiable end."
"However—the Ultimate Flash, lying dormant in the void, also taught us the method to reboot the Grey Flash!"
"In the last epoch, we’ve helped at least five such beings to be restored and return to their identity as a Bright Flash. One of them, named ’Xiong Ye,’ grew to the level of a Holy Saint Embryo and is now an important backbone of the Alliance..."
Gui Bang kept prattling on when GuaGua, all of a sudden sparkly in the eyes, hopped onto Ye Hanjun’s shoulder, urging her to summon Little Black Hat.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Hanjun lit up the scorpion tail marks on her left wrist, meeting the little one’s expectations.
As the light from the Array gradually dimmed, at its center stood Huazhu, her skirt fluttering.
The collision of the rainbow-colored Witch Robe and her orange-golden pupils created a dream-like vivid burst of color that caught the attention of all beings.
"Hm?"
Fly Moon, Gui Bang, and Zhe Yu each let out a soft gasp in turn.
Gui Bang even rolled over to Huazhu’s side, circled around her, and with a frown of suspicion said:
"It really is a Grey Flash."
"But why does this feel so strange? Has she been ’corrected’ and stripped of her Flash identity?"
"Yes."
Ye Hanjun ran her fingers through Huazhu’s long hair, feeling the different Elements wrapped around her body, and elaborated:
"The Blood Witch Clan of the Ghost Lamp Abyss, in their early years, also conducted similar research."
"By destroying the seven chakras and reactivating a portion of the latent Bloodline Power to balance the state of the body, members of the Witch Clan who suffered from the Grey Flash had a chance for rebirth as a Newborn."
"I used this method to save Huazhu and then formed a Contract with her..."
"Tsk, out of luck."
Gui Bang muttered to itself:
"Although the Blood Witch God stands out in the Witch System, their research holds valuable insights."
"But to just discard a Flash identity like that seems like such a waste."
"If she had met us while still a Grey Flash and corrected it with the proper method, her current achievements could perhaps be even higher."
"Oh come on, is she doing poorly now?"
Fly Moon scoffed, looking down on Gui Bang:
"Growing alone, a Holy Saint Embryo would indeed be a far-fetched dream."
"But with the backing of the Ming Lamp Night Clan, accompanying the lad on his journey filled with extraordinary encounters, is her current strength really subpar?"
"In my opinion, even Xiong Ye, who is also at the level of Supreme Sacred Great Achievement, would only get beaten up in a spar with this Witch."
"Her opportunities are the top-notch wanting more is—illusory at best."
"You have a point."
Gui Bang stroked a strand of its mustache, responding in a tone of someone experienced:
"An individual’s destiny cannot be generalized."
"It’s precisely because she shed the label of Flash that the Witch could soar high... Eh, big brother Xu Xuan, why so silent? Do you have a different opinion?"
Gui Bang’s spinning eyes suddenly turned towards the Space Magic Carpet.
The Space Magic Carpet silently for a second, then said slowly:
"I want to take her to wander the void, to try whether she can Listen to the calling."
"Why do you think that?" asked Gui Bang, puzzled.
"I don’t know."
The Space Magic Carpet replied blankly:
"Just now, during the jaunt, the void’s call grew stronger."
"Perhaps It knows Its arrival is imminent..."
"Or perhaps, the descendant of the Ghost Lamp has other significant meanings for coming here..."
"My lord?"
Huazhu turned towards Ye Hanjun to ask for his opinion.
Ye Hanjun gave a slight smile, encouraging:
"Go ahead."
"There may be opportunities for you in the void; seize them well."
"Yes."
Huazhu, ever decisive, floated up onto the body of the Space Magic Carpet.
Her poised and concentrated demeanor showed she was mentally prepared.
"Crack!"
In the world invisible to the naked eye, space fractured and then healed.
The Space Magic Carpet and Huazhu vanished together, leaving behind neither scent nor trace.
Those present began to wait.
Taking advantage of the downtime, Fly Moon and Gui Bang instructed their subordinates to prioritize the construction of Arrays to accelerate the growth of Spiritual Medicine, and after everything was ready, to prepare the ceremonial Formation for void summoning.
"Crack!"
This time, three hours had passed.
As space tore apart again and the Magic Carpet emerged, Ye Hanjun acutely sensed Xu Xuan’s fatigue peak, and the massive consumption signified an inability to undertake more.
"Incredible..."
"She’s freed herself from being a Grey Flash, and yet she can still resonate with the void..."
"Hm? How can this be?"
Gui Bang approached, even more puzzled:
"Could it be that one’s ’root’ is indestructible, that an Innate Flash can never truly shake off this identity for their entire life?"
"Perhaps."
The Space Magic Carpet paused, then seeing the paleness on Huazhu’s face, said gravely:
"She now has two choices."
"First, to follow Fly Moon’s previous method, aiming for Supreme Holy Completion while gathering a trace of divinity, to become the weakest of Divine Trace Lineage."
"Second, to undertake ’Bloodline Retracing,’ reclaiming the label of Flash Fond Spirit while aiming for Supreme Holy Completion, in an attempt to acquire even more divinity."
"This..."
Gui Bang scratched its head:
"The second option has more benefits, even a fool would know how to choose, right?"
"No, the success rate for the first option is nearly ninety-nine percent."
"The second requires my contribution of a piece of the ’Time Drum’s’ skin, and she must gamble with her life. The actual loss and payload carried are as vast as the chasm."
"What?!"
Gui Bang exclaimed, utterly astounded:
"She’d have to use the skin of that being... Xu Xuan big brother, do you really bear to part with it?"
