Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2245: The Final Push

"Of course not!"

Wyatt Barnes, who hadn’t intended to explain further, glanced at Paisley Flores lightly upon hearing her words and replied calmly.

"Not?"

Paisley furrowed her brows, "If the ’deep purple’ purple root isn’t the highest rank talent root, then what is?"

"Black root."

Wyatt said.

"Black root?"

Paisley looked at Wyatt, her expression serious as she asked, "Could it be that your talent root is already a ’black root’?"

The reason she asked was that she felt that since Wyatt could directly state that the highest rank talent root was the ’black root’, it was very likely because he had seen a black root.

Maybe he had already elevated his talent root to the highest rank, the black root!

"No."

Wyatt shook his head.

"Then you..."

Paisley wanted to say more, but Wyatt interrupted her bluntly, "Can’t be bothered to explain, believe it or not!"

At this point, Wyatt was getting a bit impatient.

Paisley’s persistent questioning clearly showed she was doubting his words, not believing him.

Since that was the case, he couldn’t be bothered to waste effort explaining.

"You... what kind of attitude is that?"

Seeing Wyatt’s reaction, Paisley was instantly furious.

This guy was so patient when facing her sister, but when facing her, he had no patience at all. How could she not be angry?

At this moment, Paisley seemed to forget:

Her sister was Wyatt Barnes’s ’wife’!

"Sister, Sienna’s talent root is the ’black root’, and it can’t be elevated further... That’s why Brother Leandro said that ’black root’ is the highest rank talent root."

Seeing her sister upset, Keer quickly explained.

"Sienna’s talent root is the ’black root’?"

Hearing Keer’s words, Paisley subconsciously extended her Divine Sense to investigate the talent root deep within Sienna Barnes’s soul.

At this moment, Sienna was sleeping in Wyatt Barnes’s arms.

Upon sensing Paisley’s Divine Sense probing towards his embrace, Wyatt naturally knew what she intended to do.

He initially wanted to stop her but reconsidered, knowing Paisley wouldn’t harm his daughter, so he dismissed the thought.

"It truly is a ’black root’!"

After some investigation, Paisley also confirmed that Keer’s talent root was indeed a ’black root’.

"If the deep purple purple root is further elevated, the color becomes even deeper... Ultimately, it seems it could only transform into a ’black root’."

Paisley sighed.

"However..."

After sighing, Paisley looked at both Wyatt and Keer, with her gaze finally settling on Wyatt, "I know Keer’s talent root is a ’purple root’. But your talent root wasn’t initially a ’purple root’, was it?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Wyatt furrowed his brows and asked, sensing that Paisley’s words carried deeper meaning.

"I’m wondering... Even if your talent root wasn’t initially a ’purple root’, and even if it was, logically, you and Keer together shouldn’t be able to have a child with a ’black root’."

"After all, Keer’s talent root is just a ’purple root’."

Paisley said.

Upon hearing Paisley’s words, Wyatt couldn’t help but furrow his brows as well.

If Paisley hadn’t mentioned it, he indeed hadn’t considered this.

Indeed.

As Paisley said, even if two people with purple roots combined, logically, it should be impossible to have a child with a ’black root’.

After all, a ’black root’ is the ultimate talent root, exceedingly rare. At least in the history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, there’s never been anyone with a ’black root’ talent.

"And Sienna’s talent root is indeed a ’black root’... So, there are only two possibilities!"

Paisley continued, "First, your union, due to some reason, caused Sienna’s talent to ’mutate’, giving her the extreme talent root of a ’black root’."

"Second, because Keer is the ’reincarnation of a goddess’ as the Sect Leader claimed. It’s not surprising that an offspring of a goddess would possess an ultimate talent root."

Later, Paisley mentioned again that Keer was the ’reincarnation of a goddess’.

"The reincarnation of a goddess is pure fiction!"

After Paisley spoke, Wyatt immediately dismissed the second possibility she mentioned.

Back when he was in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, after becoming a Protector of the Fire Worship Sect, he also learned from other Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect:

The so-called ’Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden’ is merely the word of the Fire Worship Sect Leader alone.

Others, including the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect in the past, unanimously determined:

That the matter of Keer, this Saintess, being the ’Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden’ is nothing but a baseless rumor!

It is precisely because of this that Wyatt Barnes says as much now.

"I beg to differ."

Paisley Flores shook her head and said, "If that’s the case... why is there such a huge difference in our talents when we, as twin sisters, should be similar? The spiritual root Keer possesses is a ’deep purple’ purple root, while I don’t even have a ’light purple’ purple root."

"Do you think... if Keer is not the Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden, this can be reasonable?"

Paisley looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked.

Now, Paisley has begun to call her younger sister by the name ’Keer’.

Because she knows, her sister prefers this name.

Upon hearing Paisley’s words, Wyatt Barnes was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed.

If there were no talk of the ’Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden’, Paisley and Keer, as twin sisters, would realistically have some differences in talent, but not such a vast gap!

"Of course, it might also be because Keer’s talent underwent a ’mutation’... because even our parents, only one has a ’light blue’ blue root, while the other only has a green root."

Paisley continued.

"Now, Sienna’s situation is almost identical to Keer’s at the time... their profound talents, either because of mutation, or for another reason: such as Keer being the Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden."

In her words, Paisley also linked Sienna Barnes’s situation to Keer’s past experience.

The mother and daughter’s encounters are so strikingly similar!

After Paisley’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s heart was somewhat shaken.

To be honest.

He still believes in the so-called ’reincarnation’.

Because he himself, in a sense, is reincarnated and reborn.

In his previous life, he was the strongest Weapon King on Earth, and later, due to an accident, his soul traversed into this world, allowing him to be reincarnated.

But regarding Keer being the ’Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden’, till now, only the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect has recognized it, while other Fire Worship Sect members unanimously believe it’s a groundless notion.

This has, to a certain extent, influenced Wyatt Barnes’s judgment.

Adding onto that, Paisley’s previous remarks now leave Wyatt unsure which theory to believe.

The more he thinks, the more his headache increases.

Finally, Wyatt ultimately stops overthinking.

"Whether or not Keer is the Reincarnation of the Divine Maiden, she is, nevertheless, my wife, Wyatt Barnes... this is an undeniable fact!"

"And the same goes for Sienna... regardless of why she possesses the ultimate talent root, the ’black root’, she is my daughter, Wyatt Barnes’s daughter!"

As he muttered to himself, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes were gleaming with determination.

After elevating Paisley’s spiritual root to the ’deep purple’ talent root, Wyatt Barnes found that there were still many Demons on the mortal continent he was currently on.

"Continue to purge, enhancing my spiritual root simultaneously... and search around a bit, to see if my parents and Jovie might be on this mortal continent!"

With this mental note, Wyatt Barnes, along with the three women, continued exploring the uncharted territories of this mortal continent.

Each demon he killed had their spiritual roots become the ’nourishment’ for Wyatt Barnes’s spiritual root, paving the path toward the ’black root’...

Unfortunately, the gap between the purple root and the black root remains too wide.

Even with the ’deep purple’ root, it’s still a very long journey to transform into the black root.

This is deeply felt by Wyatt Barnes when he finished purging this last mortal continent.

Simply because even now, he still hasn’t touched the threshold of the ’black root’.

"After combing through three mortal continents, it turns out my parents and Jovie aren’t here... the next step is to search across the various seas, to see if they might be hidden within some ocean region."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes, along with the three women, left the mortal continent and roamed the seas between the mortal continent and the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

The ocean is vast and endless, not quite as expansive as the Martial Dao Sacred Land, yet equal to the combined area of three mortal continents.

For a whole six months, Wyatt Barnes wandered through various sea regions with the three women.

And during this period, he encountered many Demons.

These Demons turned out to be stronger than those he encountered on the earlier three mortal continents, possessing relatively higher talents.

Consequently, the quality of the spiritual roots was much higher.

So, after half a year, Wyatt Barnes not only touched the threshold of the ’black root’.

He was now just one step away from the ’black root’!

"Just one more step, and my spiritual root can successfully transform into the ’black root’... and it seems there are no distinctions such as ’light black’ or ’deep black’ for the black root."

"Judging from my current spiritual root, if I push further, it will fully transform into black... and the emerging black sheen on it is indistinguishable from that on Sienna’s ’black root’!"

Realizing this, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes sparkled with intense light.
