YM778.TV Chapter 1234 : Clearing The Grey Rot 19
Litian unearthed what lay in the depths of his heart, his eyes becoming bloodshot.
Bingtian\'s expression softened significantly, deeply moved by this action. Following her death, she had entered a void of nothingness, leaving her without any worries till she was eventually resurrected by her daughter.
Alas, her poor husband had to live out each and every second of those years, enduring physical, emotional and spiritual torment day and night.
If Misery never released them from the tower, what would have the fate of Litian and Fengtian have been?
Her husband had never spoken about this, falling back into old habits and roles after she had been resurrected like nothing changed. Bingtian herself knew at the back of her mind that something had been wrong, but since Litian had kept up the act of everything beeing fine, she had ended up believing him without questioning it.
But no, he wasn\'t. Like most men, he had buried his pain deep down to avoid becoming a burden to others, but it had been festering and nurturing all this while, finally exploding at this moment.
Looking at his expression, Bingtian understood that Litian never had any intention of ever disclosing this and would have downplayed it as him \'disliking\' his son-in-law, when it actually had nothing to do with that.
Obviously, Litian was extremely favorable towards Draco, a dominant and powerful young man with an endless future who had brought them great closure. The issue lay in Shuangtian herself, and the father-daughter conflict between them.
The lack of presence in her life, coupled with her tremendous suffering, had resulted in Shuangtian having little recognition towards her parents. In fact, Shuangtian had only shown some affection towards Bingtian because the mother and daughter were just too alike in terms of looks and personality, as well as the fact that the had woman had sacrificed her life to save her child.
In comparison, Litian might have been locked up in prison to suffer for 21 years, yet to Shuangtian such a feat was simply unremarkable. After all, she too had suffered day and night for that same period of time. Was she who had endured such hardship from the moment of her birth really supposed to pity an adult whose lifespan could easily surpass a hundred?
Not to mention that he was father, tasked with protecting her, but he couldn\'t even fulfill that basic responsibility and wanted her to affectionately call him \'papa\'? Was he dreaming?
Bingtian sighed, sympathizing with both perspectives. Throughout her life, she had often acted as a mediator between opposing sides, but she lacked the ability to unite these two... mostly because Shuangtian\'s stubbornness made it nearly impossible.
Bingtian chuckled to herself with exasperation. She herself was boisterous and domineering like her daughter, but she wasn\'t particularly stubborn about things. In fact, she was a bit impulsive and impressionable.
Looking at the embarrassed Litian who clearly wanted to take his words back, Bingtian\'s lips twitched as she long knew the source.
It seemed father and daughter were not as estranged as they thought!

Sources: Frost Elemental (Divine Class) + Ice Heart (Passive Skill).｣
Litian and Bingtian opted to use their real names in the game, converting them to their English equivalents.
"Forget about it. Let\'s finish up the task we were given first." Litian suggested to change the subject, imbuing his Law into himself as his strength blossomed crazily.
His body was coated with a grayish-brown energy that was the aura from the sheer physical force he generated using his Divine Law, not at all related to his bloodline. He punched out towards the Grey Rot, releasing a fist cannon that tore through the sound barrier and left a gaping hole in the Grey Rot.
Litian nodded with satisfaction at his work and subtly glanced at his wife to see whether she was watching. Knowing her husband\'s nature, Bingtian naturally clapped with a surprised expression, praising Litian\'s manliness endlessly.
The fellow seemed greatly encouraged by this, and began exerting even more force, trying to impress his wife.
Bingtian herself began her work while making sure to care for her husband\'s feelings, summoning a group of giant Frost Elementals whose eyes glowed with a piercing amber light. The elementals began to suck ambient Divine Energy to power their operation, then raised their intangible hands to release various ice-based attacks wantonly.
Their performance was more than impressive, turning the Grey Rot within her zone into ice before shattering it casually, freely expanding the ambient Divine Energy to combat the problem before them.
Litian glanced over and tsked, admiring his wife\'s unwavering strength. It was a quality he found utterly intoxicating and the very reason he had fallen in love with her. While the other men of his generation had avoided Bingtian, considering her to be too domineering and powerful to control like the more submissive women they preferred, her husband had become drawn to her for exactly those reasons.
"Hmmm, seems to be going well." Ao Fengtian commented casually as he withdrew his eyes from every one among the group.
Ao Fengtian casually remarked as he withdrew his gaze from the rest of the group. Since he had been keeping an eye on everyone else, he became the last to attack, making him a bit late in clearing his section. However, he wasn\'t concerned in the slightest, not with the power he had received.
｢Name: Heavenly Wind – True God
Level: The Law of Family Heritage (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Family Heritage - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This is a powerful Law that allows the user to draw upon the strength of their biological family. The cumulative strength borrowed depends on the rank of the Law while the energy consumption depends on the quality of ones\' family members.
Sources: Grand Ancestor (Divine Class) + Ancient Inheritance (Passive Skill).｣
This Law had been the most intriguing for him among the many choices he received. After all, more than Litian, Fengtian cared about the overall picture as well as the family\'s future.
His current biological family within the game were Litian, Shuangtian, and Lucitian. Lucitian did not yet have a class or character panel as he was not of age yet, but what Fengtian could borrow from Litian alone was pretty good, but his Law became inflated with power when one added Shuangtian into the mix.
Once he activated his Law, the consumption of Divine Energy made Fengtian feel amused. His granddaughter was truly a monster, just borrowing 5% of her power - as that was his limit at the Basic Rank of his Divine Law - was enough to drain him this quickly.
Still, he did not hold back and used his time efficiently, releasing his power into the grey rot continuously without a care for leniency. He too made use of various active skills with Divine Points in order to conserve as much Divine Energy as possible for the law\'s timer.
Looking at Fengtian\'s performance, Litian and Bingtian could only sigh. At the end of the day, there was a reason why Fengtian was the one most respected by Shuangtian!
......….
The final core member group were the progenitors. This group was made up of the fellows who were destined to sit upon the throne of their Lineages,or were the leaders of their respective races, or were the first being and only one of their current race.
At this moment it consisted of four members, each with their own impressive origins.
The first was Anubesetesh, the God Sealer, Progenitor of the Tomegamon race of the Gerdo Galaxy.
｢Name: God Sealer – True God
Level: The Law of Essence Vibration (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Essence Vibration - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: An unspeakably powerful Law generated from nothing by the unique power of a unique being from a distant galaxy. All things in the universe have a wavelength and the user of this Law can affect them to a degree relative to the Rank of the Law as well as the strength of the wavelength in question.
Sources: Lord of Purgatory (Divine Class) + Song of the Universe (Passive Skill).｣
Anubesetesh did not have many options in regards to choosing his Law due to the uniqueness of his existence first of all, then his unique class which was generated from him second of all, and then the unique Divine Skills his class spat out in the end.
The Tomegamon Progenitor hovered in the air before his section of the Grey Rot, his expression solemn. Out of all the core members, he was the oldest and most knowledgeable, having fought countless abyssal monsters in the void of space while traveling to Earth and even before that.
He knew many abyssal monsters that could create localized calamities from their fur alone, but there was only one which could have the potency of this level. If it was that being, then the entity behind this game was tremendously foolish for allowing it to come here in the first place!
If Anubesetesh knew that the AI had brought that creature here just to create content for the players, he might be so furious he would manifest a cane and discipline this AI!
This was the literal definition of bringing a wolf into the house!
Still, he did not shirk his duty. With a light shake of his fingers, the Grey Rot within a few meters before him suddenly shook like it was the flash trying to vibrate himself through a wall.
The scary part was that the longer it shook like this, the more ethereal it became until it disappeared completely.
There was no fuss, no explosions, no powerful world-ending attacks.
Just silent destruction.
Anubesetesh checked the gains from clearing the Grey Rot and then continued his work.
｢Name: AkaWhite_Ninja – True God
Level: The Law of Karmic Manipulation (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Karmic Manipulation - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: A very potent Law that allows the user to see and manipulate the strings of karma that bind the world, allowing them to change cause and effect as well as trace the source of all things.
Sources: Spellbound Shadowblade (Divine Class) + Karma Killing (Active Skill).｣
Gage was currently extremely focused. He was glancing at the huge blood-red \'thread\' that hovered above the entire area of the Grey Rot and extended far into the distance.
This was the karmic thread that tied the Grey Rot to its originator, but the \'thread\' was about the circumference of a crater. Just being near it, Gage felt like he could be crushed by its sheer presence.
"However, I must cut." Gage stated simply, his entire demeanor changing from unsure to staunch, his hand gripping the katana at his waist.
With a fluid motion, Gage stepped forward and released a simple horizontal swing right from his sheathe, which turned into a huge crescent-shaped blood-red sword wave that struck the gigantic red thread in the sky above the grey rot.
CLANG!
Yet what looked like it should be made of soft material was as hard as metal, easily resisting the oncoming attack.
