GBP Chapter 278 Inheritance
Chapter 278 Inheritance
Although Ji Yan had regained some consciousness after all that had happened, he was still not in good condition.
Yu Yao remained kneeling on the cold ice, holding Ji Yan with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, feeding him her blood.
Seeing the strange phenomenon ahead, she simply stared at the suddenly appearing ice sculpture with a cold face and pursed lips.
The ice sculpture's deep, resonant voice continued, offering a good-natured explanation:
"I am an ancient god of the Nine Netherworlds. My original intention in establishing this place of inheritance was to find a suitable successor to the Ice God. Unfortunately, my guardian beast—the 'Love-Slaying Beast'—absorbed too much emotion while guarding the inheritance, developing a rebellious nature. It suppressed me here, using the name of inheritance to lure others, deceiving their emotions to strengthen itself, and ultimately attempting to steal my inheritance. Fortunately, you killed him today. Girl, what do you want?"
Yu Yao struggled to support her body; her lips were pale and cracked, and her whole body was cold.
"Save him."
The frost giant seemed not to have done anything to Ji Yan, but in reality, it had already used its spiritual power to completely destroy his body.
He appears to be alive, but his body is in a near-death state.
Yu Yao's own blood could only keep him alive; without further treatment, he still wouldn't survive.
Ji Yan came to this strange inheritance space to help Yu Yao, and she couldn't just stand by and watch him die here!
Ji Yan slowly turned his eyes to look at Yu Yao, his gaze filled with turbulent emotions.
The statue paused for a moment, then replied, "Very well. I will pass on my legacy to him, helping him to rebuild the Nine Nether Ancient God Body, which will surely save him. But I will not neglect your gift of gratitude. Sleep, girl, when you wake up, this nightmare will end..."
As soon as the statue finished speaking, Yu Yao felt a cool but gentle force brushing against her body.
Then, her body went limp, her head slumped down, and she touched Ji Yan's forehead.
It fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Yan's eyes flickered, as if a hint of anxiety had appeared.
The statue ignored his emotions, simply laying Yu Yao's body flat in mid-air and releasing a ball of divine power to envelop her.
He then placed Ji Yan on the frost lotus platform in front of him and said, "Boy, there is an energy within you that clashes with the power of the Nine Nether Ancient God. I will now remove that energy from your body and then transfer the power of inheritance to you. Do not be afraid; the power of the Nine Nether Ancient God will not disappoint you."
......
The process of having his powers removed was extremely painful, but Ji Yan did not show any sign of pain, nor did he utter a single groan.
Perhaps for him now, physical pain is the least of his worries.
He kept his eyes on Yu Yao, who was unconscious not far away, from beginning to end.
The statue couldn't help but remind you: "You are not her destined partner. Don't get caught up in it, or you will harm yourself and others."
Ji Yan then spoke, saying his first words to the ice sculpture: "No, it won't happen."
Ji Yan believes that his most valuable ability is to know his own place.
The statue then said, "I can help you seal away your love, so that you will not be burdened by love and ruin your future."
"No need."
He had always told himself that as long as he didn't get too deeply involved, he wouldn't fall into the abyss.
But when the Love-Slaying Beast died, all the emotions that Ji Yan had just absorbed but hadn't yet refined within its body surged back.
Instead, it instantly brought Ji Yan's feelings for Yu Yao, which he had been suppressing, to their peak.
But he didn't find it bitter.
Even if she has someone else in her heart, even if she belongs to someone else.
For Ji Yan, none of this mattered, nor did it matter.
Regret is a common occurrence in life. Even if Yu Yao's true love is him, his life will still have other regrets.
At least for now, Ji Yan holds a significant place in her heart.
She was willing to put herself in danger and burn her life essence to fight against the beast of passion.
He was willing to expose his specialness and use her blood to save his own life.
Ji Yan felt sweet to receive such genuine affection from her, even if it was just friendship.
......
"Foolish child..."
The statue sighed softly.
They quickly removed all supernatural abilities and viral residue from Ji Yan's body.
Then, an icy blue light suddenly shone, tightly enveloping Ji Yan's body and slowly transforming it into an exquisite ice sculpture with Ji Yan's appearance.
No one knows what kind of dramatic changes are taking place inside this seemingly peaceful ice sculpture.
......
A day later, the ice sculpture gradually changed.
The surface ice layer was being rapidly absorbed, gradually revealing Ji Yan, who was sleeping inside.
Now, with his skin as white as ice and snow, his features are more hard yet delicate than yesterday, and he has become more refined.
Her long, azure hair reached her ankles, and when she opened her eyes, a faint light flashed, eventually settling into a calm blue.
He slowly sat up, ignoring the changes in his body.
Instead, he rushed to Yu Yao's side immediately and took the unconscious Yu Yao, who had been placed on a low ice platform by the statue, into his arms.
