Chapter 780 -775: Tracing the Origins
The Angels dissipated, and other guards didn’t dare linger around, vying to escape the underground palace first.
Yet, Bai Qi wasn’t going to let them off that easily. He gave Beta a glance. Understanding his cue, Beta howled, causing the guards to uncontrollably run back.
“Beta, interrogate them to get all the information they know; and about the means… I’ll leave it to you.”
A touch of menacing laughter appeared on Bai Qi’s face, whereas upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Beta’s eyes immediately lit up. He summoned the Heroic Spirits of the prison, hoisted the guards, and proceeded to amble off to the adjacent room.
Awoo Awoo!
(“Leave it to me! I’ll surely get them to squeal everything, including the stuff that scared the shit out of them!”)
Beta brimmed with confidence, and Bai Qi didn’t worry at all. In front of the Six Paths, no one could hide their memories.
After watching Beta leave, Bai Qi turned to the town’s inhabitants.
Because of Bai Qi, their new-found hope had once again been shattered, their faces turning even more disillusioned.
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s face revealed a touch of guilt.
Perhaps he did save them, but the hope that had just appeared had shattered. The blow this had to them was no less than being eliminated by the ferocious beasts.
In the end, without power, death still awaited them.
“I know what you’re thinking, but you also saw the end result of wielding such kind of power: becoming a ferocious beast.”
Bai Qi took a moment to gather his emotions, then spoke loudly: “Do you remember the ferocious beasts that attacked you? While it may be hard to believe, they were once humans.”
As he spoke, Bai Qi summoned some bug grass, and that projected the previous scene – with a visual from a soul’s perspective.
“How is this possible…”
The townsfolk expressed disbelief, but the man who had transformed into a beast before their eyes was an undeniable fact.
“To start with, how can we believe this is not another deception?”
At this moment, one of the townsfolk stood up and proclaimed: “You’re a Beast Master, right? So you certainly wouldn’t understand the pain of being powerless and simply slaughtering cattle.”
“Although the power gained this way could be problematic, it at least gives us strength. It allows us to survive against the ferocious beasts! Even if…”
“Even if we turn into mindless ferocious beasts, it is still better than being eaten!”
Hearing those words from the fellow, the previously hesitant town residents suddenly become more resolute. The way they looked at Bai Qi also changed.
It was, hostility.
“As expected, in this era where information isn’t freely available, efficient communication is quite difficult.”

Bai Qi, seeing the situation, sighed helplessly, suddenly opened his eyes, and released a terrifying oppression from his body.
“I never intended to make you believe in me. I saved you just because I was annoyed by the bird-man, whether you believe or not is entirely up to you.”
“Bai Qi…”
Upon hearing his words, Bai Qiucha was utterly baffled, but Zhuge sensed something, and held Bai Qiucha back.
“You said it right, I’m stronger so I do not understand your pain. I can even tell you that the place I live is a lot safer than yours; there were no ferocious beasts involved at all for the last few decades.”
Bai Qi glanced at the increasingly infuriated townsfolk beneath him and a mockery appeared on his face.
“Unconvinced? Want to have a go at me after gaining power? Okay! I give you this opportunity!”
Bai Qi cleared some space, fiddled with the Alchemy Array beneath his feet, and activated the array once more.
“This is your desired source of power. Just stand here, and you’ll obtain the power you’re longing for. Now, who wants to go first?”
Bai Qi’s frigid gaze swept across the crowd. Upon seeing the man who had initially issued the dissent, the Judgement chain suddenly flew out, drawing him over directly.
Bai Qi’s sudden move clearly shocked the man, but as he noticed the nonchalant yet sinister expression on Bai Qi’s face, outrage bubbled up in his heart, and he daringly glared back at Bai Qi.
With this, Bai Qi just chuckled, stating, “You just mentioned wanting power, right? Now, I am giving you the chance.”
Upon saying this, Delta opened a space portal, seizing a majestic tiger from the dungeon cage.
“This is a Lord Level fierce beast. Once fused, normal beasts won’t be able to harm you. What do you think? Dare to give it a try?”
“Why should I be afraid!”
The man held his head high, boldly stepping into Bai Qi’s designated area. The tiger, on the other hand, was tossed to the opposing side.
Afterward, with Bai Qiucha’s puzzled and astonished eyes on him, Bai Qi directly activated the Alchemy Array.
Immediately, the entire underground palace lit up. Energy flowed along the patterns of the wall into the array, slowly compressing the man and the beast towards the center.
Gradually, the man and the tiger started fusing. The man’s body began to inflate; his blood vessels were visible all over his body, resembling dragons. The formidable power was palpable even by sight.
However, the surge of power evidently exceeded what he could control. After maintaining a short burst of equilibrium, the tiger’s power began bombarding the man’s physique. He instantly contorted, transforming intermittently between a human and a tiger, struggling to maintain form.
Boom!
Suddenly, the man’s body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood that showered everyone present.
“What… what happened?”
The townsfolk trembled as they stared at the fresh blood on their hands, not knowing what had just happened. Bai Qi didn’t explain. He snapped his fingers, causing the blood to reverse its flow and reassemble into the man’s form. Even the tiger had returned to its original position.
“Did I… did I die just now?”
The man stared blankly at his intact body, as if everything was an illusion. Still, the terrifying memory that lingered in his mind felt so real.
“Yes, you did die. But I brought you back to life.”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “This Alchemy Array can indeed grant you the power of ferocious beasts. However, the prerequisite is that you can survive.”
With that, Bai Qi made way and said, “I don’t know how many people have survived through here. But what I can assure you is that the number of people who died under this Large Array is not small.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several ghosts suddenly appeared in the square, encircling the townsfolks tightly.
These ghosts were mainly human-shaped, but their faces carried some beastly traits. All of them had red eyes. Just one glance was enough to feel the strong resentment emanating from them.
“Sorry, you don’t understand their language, let me help you. Epsilon.”
“Understood, Leader.”
Epsilon nodded, and the Eyes of Moon suddenly appeared. The pure power of moonlight sprinkled down, gradually calming the resentful spirits.
At the same time, unfamiliar memories filled the minds of all the townsfolk, with each memory ending with the vision of the Alchemy Array.
Ah-woo! Ah-woo!
(Humans, I asked them. They use the official’s banner to rescue humans and bring them here for experiments. Only a few hundred survived, all the others died.)
At that moment, Beta, with a joyful look, came running back. She was startled upon seeing the numerous ghosts.
(Human, are you starting an Undead Catastrophe?)
“Catastrophe my ass!”
Bai Qi glared at Beta irritably, waved his hand, and the ghosts flew to Alpha’s side in unison, merging into the Silent Annihilation Sword Domain.
Although these ghosts’ souls were fragmented, their consciousness stayed. While they couldn’t be resurrected, leaving them here would inevitably cause a disaster, so he had to bundle them all away.
The sight of Bai Qi removing the ghosts woke the townsfolk from their stupor, the first to react being the man.
The man who had experienced death and learned the whole truth seemed to have undergone a significant transformation. After staring at Bai Qi for a long time, he suddenly knelt on the ground.
“Sir, please save us!”
The man’s words resonated with other townsfolks. They all knelt down, begging Bai Qi for help.
“Save you? I’m sorry, I’m not interested. If you want to live, you have to rely on yourselves.”
Bai Qi snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and the Alchemy Array shattered.
“There are enough resources inside this underground palace, and the defense is good. If you don’t want to die, don’t run around recklessly.”
Bai Qi glanced at Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha, turned around, and left. The two instantly followed, leaving the crowd in shock at their original place.
“Nige, what are we going to do next?”
An elder walked to the man’s side, with a worried look, asking.
“Did the gentleman not say it? We will survive on our own!”
The man named Nige had a glint of determination in his eyes and immediately started to arrange things methodically.
At the palace entrance.
Bai Qi briskly left the palace, glanced at the slowly closing door, fell silent for a moment, and swiftly set up a Rune formation around the area.
“Bai Qi, what are you doing?”
Zhuge Chen asked doubtfully.
“That angel is dead, certainly someone would come to investigate. These people will become experimental subjects again, so let’s move them somewhere else.”
Bai Qi drew the final stroke, and Delta appeared, infusing Space Power into the spot Bai Qi had reserved, causing a pit to appear suddenly.
“Bai Qi, did you teleport them somewhere else?”
“Yes, but if they can survive depends on their own luck.”
Bai Qi nodded. During the interrogation, Schuck had already modified the arrangements of the palace and added many defensive runes. As long as they didn’t actively leave, they would be safe.
“Bai Qi, you wanted to save them, why would you act so menacingly? Can’t you just speak nicely?”
Bai Qiucha asked with some confusion, while Bai Qi shrugged and said, “Sometimes, terrorizing people is more effective than reasoning. Not to mention letting them experience it first-hand.”
“I’ve done what I can; the rest depends on them.”
Bai Qi stretched lazily, looking in the direction of the east.
“Next, we should meet the instigator behind all this~”
