Capítulo 1408: Chapter 147: What I Represent Is More Than Just Myself!
Zhou Yan had a look of deep emotion on his face, then he pondered and looked into the distance.
In the distance, Yamina was silently standing there.
She stood on the ground, but her full head of black hair had already turned white.
And on her face, although she had no wrinkles and remained so beautiful, the traces of time still revealed a certain aura, leaving her indescribably haggard.
The desiccation of the Eternal Spirit made her Soul Body as thin as a withered old man.
Beside her, two Elf Girls were guarding her, supporting her, like two granddaughters helping their grandmother.
Zhou Yan looked towards Yamina.
Yamina also glanced at Zhou Yan at this moment.
Their eyes met in the air, yet both seemed to fall into a unique silence.
After a moment, Yamina said hoarsely, “You have come.”
“Hmm, I’ve come.”
“You shouldn’t have come.”
“I came earlier than you expected, didn’t I?”
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and approached Yamina.
At this time, Yamina’s body slightly trembled, yet avoided Zhou Yan’s invasive gaze.
“If I don’t come early, this Eternal Life will never see you again.”
Zhou Yan said.
“Ping’er and Zishuang are in the Elf Palace; they miss you dearly.”
Yamina didn’t look into Zhou Yan’s eyes, but hoarsely reminded him.
Zhou Yan, however, ignored everything and directly grabbed Yamina’s hand.
But before his actions were completed, one of the Elf Girls beside Yamina stirred up a unique energy of nature, easily letting Zhou Yan’s hand grab nothing.
Yamina merely glanced at Zhou Yan, and that look made Zhou Yan’s desire to continue his actions settle down.
“I will go to the Elf Domain Sea to find the Seed of the Tree of Life, then you’ll be unharmed.”
Zhou Yan said.
Yamina’s body trembled, yet she said coldly with a quivering voice, “No need!”
“I said I would go, so I will go!”
Zhou Yan insisted.
His words made Yamina unexpectedly furious; she trembled, stretched out her hand, though her hand was shaking.
Nonetheless, that hand, already as thin as skin and bones, pointed fiercely at Zhou Yan, “Who do you think you are to speak to me like this! You are Zhou Yan, just an ordinary Life of the Eternal Eight Rules, tier six!”
Zhou Yan stared at Yamina, and was not angered by her words, calmly said, “Don’t you know whether I am an ordinary Life or not?”
“You, what do you mean!”
Yamina’s face changed.
“I said I would go, so I will go. I said I would hold your hand, and your hand must let me hold it, understood? I represent myself, and not just myself!”
Zhou Yan was calm when he said these words.
But they were irrefutable.
No strength to refute, no momentum to refute.
Zhou Yan spoke, then reached out his hand.
Then, his gaze fixedly on Yamina.
Yamina’s body trembled violently, but ultimately, she placed her hand in Zhou Yan’s palm with a complex expression.
At that moment, a mark of Thunder Seal flowed from Zhou Yan’s palm, suddenly rushing into Yamina’s palm.
As if struck by lightning, Yamina’s hand retracted with incredible speed.
At that moment, if it weren’t known that she indeed had no ability, anyone would have doubted her withered state was an act.
For that sudden reaction was so fast, it was blinding!
At that moment, Yamina’s eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance.
This brilliance, unapologetically, was so fervent, so… piercing to the heart.
“Queen.”
“Queen, should we drive this interloper away?”
The two Elves beside Yamina, thinking Zhou Yan had done something, immediately asked Yamina.
Yamina, however, returned to her senses at this time, finally filled with hope in her eyes.
She suddenly said with a trembling voice, “No, no need. This, Zhou Yan is a true figure of great importance, representing irreversible rules. Henceforth, in our Elf Domain, many things can directly heed his words.”
Yamina’s statement immediately shocked the two Elf Girls beside her.
“How is this possible!”
“Your Majesty, you must not be bewitched!”
The two young girls were truly a bit frightened.
And not just these two girls, even Qing Nimei was momentarily stunned.
“No, I am not bewitched. Though my Eternal Spirit is indeed parched, I can tell right from wrong clearly. And besides, I am merely saying this, but it’s not up to me to decide. The rules of the Land of Heavenly Punishment descending to acknowledge it is what truly matters. Therefore, Zhou Yan, if you want to go to the Elf Domain Sea, you must first visit the Land of Heavenly Punishment.
In the Land of Heavenly Punishment, our Elf Domain has always kept a key waiting for this day to come.
Yet, unexpectedly, that day is today.”
Yamina was very excited, so her face was flushed with a bit of redness.
Zhou Yan, seeing this, felt even more tender-hearted, and without any hesitation, extracted a powerful strand of Original Qi of the Eternal Spirit from One Autumn, gathered it directly in his palm, and then suddenly pressed it onto Yamina’s brow.
His action was so swift that the two startled Elf girls and Qing Nimei hadn’t reacted.
By the time they reacted, the three were all shocked, thinking Zhou Yan was about to launch a surprise attack.
But the next moment, Yamina’s forehead burst with a rich Life Energy, and her full head of white hair instantly transformed into a cascade of black hair. At the same time, about thirty percent of Yamina’s Life Origin Soul Energy was restored in a short period.
Even if a lot of her Original Soul Energy would be consumed by the Life Ancient Tree, this thirty percent energy was enough to maintain her life state for nearly three months, without needing support.
This change made the three Elf girls, who wanted to attack Zhou Yan, fall into a stupor once more.
Subsequently, the thought of killing Zhou Yan instantly became strangely awkward.
From shock and anger to sudden guilt, leading to incomparable shame on the faces of the three.
“You, this is nearly the Origin Life strength from the Eternal Eight Rules, and almost one-tenth of all the Life Soul Energy! Are you crazy? Doing this will harm your very foundation!”
Yamina was startled as well, and then very worried about Zhou Yan.
The emotion in her eyes was not concealed at all; it was even quite intense, without the least bit of conflict.
Zhou Yan smiled indifferently and said, “This has nothing to do with me personally; it’s merely an Origin I subdued. Well then, take this; you can maintain yourself well with it until I find the Seed of the Life Ancient Tree, and through this, you can be cured.”
Zhou Yan spoke, taking out the Soul-devouring Pearl directly.
When the Soul-devouring Pearl appeared, Yamina’s expression changed once again.
And not only Yamina, but the two Elf girls almost had their eyes pop out in surprise.
This Soul-devouring Pearl, comparable to the King’s Inheritance as a King’s Treasure, a Royal device, Zhou Yan casually took out and gave away as if it were an ordinary item.
This kind of mindset and method made the two Elf girls instantly feel overwhelmed; they realized that compared to Zhou Yan’s magnanimity, theirs was far too narrow.
Zhou Yan paid no attention to the thoughts of the two Elf girls.
He just quietly watched Yamina.
By this moment, Yamina finally let go, as if finally finding a great mountain on which she could rely, no longer bearing everything alone.
Perhaps it was just due to the strength and security of that single mark.
It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yan analyzed for a moment and understood Yamina’s reasoning.
Yamina loved Emperor Lei Yan, but in truth, she also deeply loved him, Zhou Yan.
But when he was not Emperor Lei Yan, Zhou Yan was a weakling, an ant, a coveted treasure that everyone wanted, always at risk of being seized and having his King’s Inheritance stolen, resulting in complete ruin and true death.
Thus, Yamina not only had to protect Zhou Yan but also continually find ways to prevent this secret from leaking out, all while Zhou Yan had no right to awaken this Inheritance, needing to proceed cautiously.
Moreover, if Zhou Yan were not Emperor Lei Yan, Yamina’s affection for Zhou Yan could never be publicly disclosed or manifested.
For that would violate some rules laid down by Emperor Lei Yan, akin to rebellion!
Yamina was thus caught in a dilemma.
The one person able to break these rules was Zhou Yan himself.
So, if Zhou Yan were only Zhou Yan, Yamina wouldn’t allow him to take any risks.
But if Zhou Yan were more than just Zhou Yan, if he had awakened the King’s Inheritance or recalled past memories, then the Inheritance couldn’t be taken.
Then, Zhou Yan could act without worry.
Because Emperor Lei Yan was a very capable person, Yamina had unconditional confidence in Emperor Lei Yan, believing that anything in his hands would be accomplished effortlessly.
This change in mindset was what caused Yamina’s drastic shifts in attitude.
And the true reason lay in the difference between Zhou Yan and Emperor Lei Yan.
Zhou Yan was not foolish; he instantly understood and became relieved.
The difference between a capable man and an incapable man, as seen through the eyes of the same woman, becomes exceptionally apparent.
As Zhou Yan pondered, Yamina exclaimed, “This, this is the Supreme Treasure Soul-devouring Pearl. With this Soul-devouring Pearl, even without the Seed of the Life Ancient Tree, it can continuously refine any energy to form Origin Power, allowing me to maintain my existence, though in constant consumption, short-term I’ll be just fine.
So, the place at Elf Domain Sea can also be skipped entirely.”
Yamina said.
“Yamina, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said.
