When they first met, the Clam Race leader had fled in a sorry state, and the atmosphere in front of the cave mansion was tense. Now, this Clam Race leader was paying his respects and his attitude had changed several times, causing everyone to be confused.
When he paid his respects, many Clam Race members also paid their respects, even the newborn clams were no exception. They had short arms and short legs, but they still imitated their leader’s appearance, giving off a tender air.
Yang Xue was stunned, “What does the Great King mean?”
Bang’er smiled and said, “There were many misunderstandings before, but I didn’t expect that it would be a great flood crashing into the Dragon King Temple. A family doesn’t recognize the family, so please forgive Bang'er rudeness, two Supreme Divinities.”
Yang Xiao blinked, “The Supreme Divinity you speak of, could it be my Honored Master?” This matter was a bit strange, so he needed to clarify it.
Bang’er quickly nodded, “That’s right, good sirs, you should know that my Clam Race has received the Supreme Divinity's grace for many years, so my Clam Race has regarded him as the Divine Spirit and has been worshiped by our Clam Race for many generations. However, after receiving the Divine Spirit’s grace, we have never known the Divine Spirit’s great name, and only today did we learn that he was the legendary Passing of Time Great Emperor. I am ashamed, ashamed!”
Hearing this, Yang Xue’s eyes lit up, “Honored Master isn’t dead?” Even Yang Kai’s expression became serious. If he was not dead, how could he show blessing to them?
Bang’er shook his head, “That’s not the case.” As he spoke, he spat out a bone from his mouth. It was white and flawless, as if it had been carved from white jade, but this bone was different from the one Wind Monarch had taken out. It should be a small arm bone.
Yang Xue had previously said that the Great Emperor’s remains were in Bang’er’s body, she wasn’t wrong. The Clam Race’s leader had actually refined the Great Emperor’s remains into his body before spitting it out.
Seeing the white bones, Yang Xiao and Yang Xue immediately understood that this bone were the remains of their Honored Master. Others might not be able to detect them, but they were able to clearly sense the aura of Time contained within them.
Another skeleton. Qiong Qi’s eyes turned slightly red. It seemed that his old master had really died without a complete corpse. He didn’t know what kind of dangers lay on the Outer Universe, but even a master with great divine ability like him had fallen to such a state.
Bang’er took out the white bone and held it in his hand, a complicated expression appearing on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he held the white bone in both hands and respectfully handed it over, “This should be the one Sir is looking for.”
Yang Xue nodded and solemnly accepted it. When the white bone entered her hand, her body trembled slightly, but she didn’t make any movements. The white bone actually began to glow, and soon after, golden lines appeared on its surface as a strange aura spread out, causing everyone’s thoughts to freeze.
It felt like an instant, but also like a thousand years. When everyone came back to their senses, the white bone was still the same as before.
However, no one would have thought that the scene just now was just an illusion. After so many years, even though the skeleton had been dead for so many years, there was still a trace of divinity hidden in its remains. This divinity was rarely seen, and only when the inheritor came into contact with it would it reveal a strange phenomenon.
The last trace of doubt in Bang’er’s eyes disappeared as his gaze towards Yang Xue and Yang Xiao became much gentler. Just now, Yang Xue had said she was the Passing of Time disciple, but her words had been empty. Only now did Bang’er truly believe her.
With a faint smile, he said, “My Clam Race’s Ancestor accidentally obtained this relic and only saw that it was extraordinary, but he didn’t know that it was a profound artifact that had been passed down from generation to generation. Today, this artifact can be considered to have returned to its original owner. Congratulations!”
Yang Xue put away the white bone and turned to look at Bang’er, “Just now, the Great King said that it was Honored Master’s blessings, what does that mean?”
Bang’er quickly waved his hand, “Since you are the Supreme Divinity's disicple, I don’t dare be called a Great King. You can just call me by my name.” After a brief pause, Bang’er asked, “How old do you think I am?”
This was a strange question, but since he had asked it, it was definitely not a random question. It was definitely related to time.
Yang Xiao immediately said, “Your cultivation is not bad, but you don’t look old, the Monster Race has a long lifespan… I’m guessing you’re two thousand years old!”
“Wrong, wrong.” Bang’er shook his head and didn’t need anyone else to continue guessing as he gave his own answer, “I don’t remember exactly how old Bang’er is this year, but it should be aroun 8000 years old.”
Yang Kai and the others were all shocked. Eight thousand years old, compared to Bang’er’s cultivation, he was like a longevity star. What was rare was that he didn’t look old at all.
But soon, everyone realized that this was most likely due to the white bone.
Sure enough, Bang’er explained, “I am a Monster King, a High-Rank Monster King. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have been able to live for so long, but I feel like I am still young. It’s not that my Clam Race was born with a long lifespan, it’s because of the Supreme Divinity’s remains. When the Old Ancestor obtained this remains, although he didn’t discover its mysteries, he found that while the remains were still present, he had a long lifespan, so every leader of my Clam Race has a long lifespan. Other than those who died in battle with the Monster Race, the oldest one has lived for more than thirteen thousand years… all thanks to the Supreme Divinity’s remains.”
“My Clam Race has lived in this vast sea for a long time, and although we don’t fight with each other, we occasionally suffer calamities. The Clam Race has few members and few masters, and we have faced countless calamities. It is all thanks to the protection of the Supreme Divinity’s remains that we were able to escape from them,” Bang’er said, “I won’t hide this from everyone. The power of this skeleton is something my Clam Race doesn’t understand and can’t use normally, but if my life is in danger, I may be able to activate its power and sweep through all enemies.”
Bang’er was the leader of the Clam Race, and if even he was in mortal danger, this race would truly be on the brink of death. In this situation, the remains of the Great Emperor would be able to display some of its power, allowing Bang’er to feel as if he had been blessed by the gods…
This had never happened to him before, but it had indeed happened to the Clam Race leader a few generations ago.
Because of these two reasons, the Clam Race regarded the owner of this skeleton as a Supreme Divinity and worshipped him for generations, but they had never known who the owner of this skeleton was until today.
After explaining, Bang’er smiled and said, “The Supreme Divinity has shown great kindness to my clan. Today, not only did we learn of the Supreme Divinity’s name, but we also learned that the Supreme Divinity had a successor in this world. The Clam Race is overjoyed, and Bang’er is overjoyed.”
Yang Xue replied, “Great King is too polite, Junior Brother and I have to thank Great King for his kindness.”
Bang’er waved his hand, “Of course, of course. The Supreme Divinity has protected my Clam Race for so many years. Since you’ve come, the remains should be returned.”
It's unknown if this was true or false, but in any case, Bang’er had spoken very sincerely. The main problem was that he couldn’t refuse. The surrounding Demon Race Half-Saints were all glaring at him like tigers eyeing their prey, and if he dared to utter a single wrong word, it would instantly be a disaster.
Yang Xue asked again, “If Honored Master’s remains are returned to me, will it affect the Great King’s health?”
Bang’er had lived so long because of the remains of the Great Emperor. Now that the remains had been taken away, it was unknown how much longer he could live.
Hearing this, Bang’er smiled, “If I said I didn’t, that would be a lie, but it’s just that I can’t live as long as the Old Ancestors. I should be able to live quite a bit, considering my current situation, I should be able to live at least a thousand years.”
Yang Xue nodded, “In the future, this Senior Sister and Junior Brother will definitely find a way to compensate the Great King.”
“There’s no need for that,” Bang’er waved his hand repeatedly and let out a long sigh, as if he had just let go of something, enthusiastically saying, “Supreme Divinities, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. If you don’t mind, how about you come inside? Bang’er has something else to tell you.”
Hearing this, Yang Xue glanced over at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you.” They had chased him here and taken away the Great Emperor’s remains that the Clam Race had kept safe for so many years, so if he just turned around and left like this, it wouldn’t be right. Since they had sincerely invited them here, there was nothing wrong with being a guest.
Bang’er was overjoyed and turned around, shouting, “Esteemed guests have arrived, all of us are going to get busy, bring out all the good food and drinks for this King.”
As the Great King shouted, the small clams also followed suit. In an instant, the Clam Race became busy. Most of the Clam Race members turned around and entered the cave mansion to prepare, while the remaining Clam Race members followed the Great King to welcome the honored guests.
Yang Kai took the lead while Liu Yan followed from the side. Qiong Qi and a few other Demon Race Half-Saints followed closely behind. Yang Xue also followed, with Yang Xiao at the back. It wasn’t that he was slow, it was just that he was surrounded by a group of beautiful clam race.
The little white dragon was quite beautiful. Previously, when there was a conflict, the clam race’s beauties didn’t show much of themselves, but now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, all of them gathered around him, each one of them looking quite different.
The little white dragon’s face flushed red, but before it could say anything, the two Clam Race beauties on his left and right grabbed his hands and dragged him into the cave like a piece of wood. Seeing this, the Clam Race beauties couldn’t help giggling.
A sweet fragrance wafted around him as the little white dragon fluttered about, his eyes filled with stars…
After entering the cave, Yang Kai found himself standing in front of a statue. This statue had existed for countless years, and it stood in the middle of a square inside the cave. It was awe-inspiring, and it was obvious that the person who had carved this statue was very proficient in this field. As he chopped down with his axe, the statue’s movements became more natural. The only thing that puzzled Yang Kai was that this statue had no facial features and was completely flat.
Bang’er stood to the side and respectfully explained, “The Clam Race obtained the blessing of the Supreme Divinity, but they were not fated to obtain the Supreme Divinity’s True Face. An Old Ancestor has set up this statue here for the Clam Race to worship for generations.”
He didn’t know what the skeleton’s owner looked like, so he didn’t have any facial features, but he knew that the skeleton’s owner was definitely extraordinary, so he was able to carve a majestic image.
Yang Kai smiled and asked, “Do you want to make up for it? It just so happens that some of us here have met the Great Emperor before.”
Bang’er was shocked. The Passing of Time Great Emperor had fallen countless years ago, yet someone had actually seen him? How long had this person lived? But since it was such a good thing, how could he refuse? He quickly said, “This is the wish of my Clam Race's ancestors. If we can make up for it, it will be my Clam Race’s fortune.”
Yang Kai turned to look at Qiong Qi.
Among this group of people, only Old Qiong had seen the Passing of Time Great Emperor before. Although Yang Xiao and Yang Xue had inherited the Great Emperor’s legacy, they didn’t know what this old man looked like, so when they heard this, all of them looked towards Qiong Qi expectantly.
Old Qiong didn’t back down and rushed out from behind Yang Kai, his expression solemn as he looked up at the giant statue, a look of reminiscence and grief flashing across his face.
Old Qiong’s Monster Qi fluctuated slightly as he raised his hand, condensing Monster Qi at his fingertips and transforming it into a carving knife. Flying up, the carving knife transformed into an afterimage and in an instant, stone fragments flew everywhere.
