Chapter 312: Spirit Marrow Time
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Yan’s heart turned cold after reading five entries.
If the historical records of the previous hundreds of years were about how pious the Turtle Spirit Clan was to the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and how they respected her, these five short pieces of information had completely taken a turn for the worse, completely overthrowing all the respect and faith of the Turtle Spirit Clan in the past hundreds of years!
Just from the last sentence, “Our race will always serve the Holy Mother. Our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother.” It could be seen that in just a month, the Turtle Spirit Clan had alienated the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother because of the heavy casualties. It was as if they did not treat themselves as the descendants of the Holy Mother. At least, the words “our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother” were gone.
In the last sentence, it did not even say “Our race will serve the Holy Mother forever.”
However, the style of the last two sentences was very different from the style of the words recorded previously.
It was not like a historian recording history. Instead, it added many personal emotional factors. He even began to question the Holy Mother. His faith in the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother seemed to have changed.
“In just a month, or less than a year, hundreds of years of firm faith actually collapsed?”
Of course, what made his heart tremble the most was that the records said that the elders brought a divine technique that could transform Divine Marrow for their own use and greatly increase the strength of their clansmen.
The Divine Marrow was the Spirit Marrow. Clearly, this referred to the method to bury the Spirit Marrow.
Lin Yan naturally thought of the strange actions Yu Qian, Bai Ling, and the others had done. Their minds had been stolen, and they seemed to have become puppets.
“Originally, it was said that the Gadfly Demons could be killed in a month. It was probably the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s prediction.
“But later on, the Gadfly Demons couldn’t even be killed in a year.
“Is this really because the Gadfly Demon’s vitality is too tenacious? Is it too powerful?”
Thinking that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother did not trust the Turtle Spirit Clan at all and had turned to him, an outsider, Lin Yan seemed to understand something.
He suppressed the shock in his heart. There were still five pages to go. He continued to read.
“In the 341st year of the Holy Mother Calendar, there are undercurrents in the clan. Many people say that the Gadfly Demons have already parasitized the Holy Mother and tainted her. They say that the Holy Mother is dead. The current Holy Mother is no longer the Holy Mother…”
“In the 341st year of the Holy Mother Calendar, someone is plotting something. Many people are plotting something. Holy Mother, Holy Mother…”
“Holy Mother Calendar Year 340, something’s wrong, something’s wrong. 1 understand, 1 understand! It’s all wrong, it’s all wrong! There’s no end to the Gadfly Demons! Rebellion, rebellion!”
“Holy Mother, you love our race. You are merciful and compassionate. Our race will forever serve the Holy Mother. Our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother. However, our race is rebellious and heinous. The heavens are angry and we should be destroyed. From today onwards, there will no longer be the Turtle Spirit Clan in the world. Song Yingshan’s last words end here.”
Lin Yan was shocked. When he turned to the last page, he realized that there was nothing on the last page.
After a while, Lin Yan finally finished reading the last few pages. He even pulled Old Qin along to translate at any time.
It was as if he had experienced ups and downs and a silent war. It was an indescribable but magnificent history.
It was clearly just a few short sentences, but it made him unable to calm down for a long time.
Although the words were short, Lin Yan could understand that the person who wrote the last few pages was a person called Song Yingshan.
In the beginning, this person suspected the faith of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother because of the heavy casualties in the clan and discovered the changes and plans of the clan.
Later on, for some reason, he discovered the truth of the problem. It seemed that someone in the Turtle Spirit Clan had rebelled!
The last sentence was filled with determination and ruthlessness. He actually regained his faith in the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
Lin Yan looked at the golden ball floating beside him and slowly transmitted it. “The Turtle Spirit Clan once betrayed you?”
The golden ball jumped in anger.
“Were they the ones who lured the Gadfly Demons in?”
The golden ball jumped again.
“You mean that someone used a special method to seal your spiritual will, causing you to fall into a deep sleep at the most critical moment?”
The golden ball rose greatly.
“It’s not just one person. It’s many people… Did they suddenly betray you?”
The golden ball immediately drooped. Just from the trajectory of its movement and its unconscious trembling body, it revealed an extremely rich sense of sorrow.
“If that’s the case, it naturally has something to do with the Spirit Marrow…”
In a group with such a strong belief, it was usually unlikely for a large number of traitors to suddenly appear.
Clearly, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s attack by the Gadfly Demons was a huge operation secretly planned by the unknown existence behind it.
“Spirit Marrow, Spirit Marrow… Do you know why Spirit Marrow, or rather, Divine Marrow, affects a person’s mind?”
The golden ball trembled again, indicating that it was at a loss.
“Big Brother, she doesn’t seem to know what the Divine Marrow is.”
Lin Yan took out the large piece of Spirit Marrow he had obtained from the giant Corpse Buddha Cockroach.
The golden ball also approached the Spirit Marrow and circled it slightly. However, it was even more confused, indicating that it had never seen such a thing.
Lin Yan frowned slightly. Spirit Marrow was not something rare. Even Old Qin knew about the Divine Marrow, but the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother who had lived for a longer time had never seen it?
Even if her memory was incomplete now, such a situation should not have happened.
Lin Yan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. “Old Qin, has the Spirit Marrow, or Divine Marrow, existed since ancient times?”
“Big Brother, you mean… the Spirit Marrow didn’t exist from the beginning? It was artificial? Although 1 can’t remember anything, there might really be a possibility…”
Lin Yan asked the golden ball, “How long has it been since the Turtle Spirit Clan betrayed you?”
The golden ball fluttered and sent a message.
“Big Brother, she said that after the betrayal of the Turtle Spirit Clan, she became weaker and weaker day by day. She had no choice but to shrink her body and seal her consciousness. Until today, according to human records, it has been almost 450 years.”
“450 years…”
Ancient Fan Nation had a history of about 400 years. If nothing went wrong, Old Qin was a creation or a person from Ancient Fan Nation.
As for Old Qin, he only knew about the Divine Marrow but not the Spirit Marrow. Moreover, he said that the Divine Marrow was very big, at least comparable to the one in his hand. Moreover, he knew that the Divine Marrow was very dangerous.
In that case, before the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was betrayed, it was very likely that there had never been a Spirit Marrow in this world!
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had been betrayed, or rather, the divine technique brought by the Turtle Spirit Clan’s elder was very likely to be from the first batch of people to use the Spirit Marrow to bury it in their bodies and increase their combat strength!
Furthermore, the Spirit Marrow at that time was very likely to be extremely huge and contained an even stronger infectious power. That was why Old Qin had said that the Divine Marrow was very dangerous. If one approached it, they would be infected and become a slave of God.
Lin Yan thought of more. Ling Shuangxue had once said that the Ancient Fan Nation had experienced a Great Extinction before the Dafeng Nation!
What was the reason for that Great Extinction?
Was it because of the Spirit Marrow that appeared in the world?
Legend had it that the Ancient Fan Nation was established by the 16-armed Holy Buddha. What was the relationship between the 16-armed Holy Buddha, the strange person they saw at that time, and the high and mighty god they mentioned?
Previously, the Spirit Marrow was huge and infectious. Now, the Spirit Marrow was mostly small and did not have any abnormalities. It was as if they were nourishing things silently, but they were seizing one’s mind and controlling one’s heart.
No matter how one looked at it, it looked like some kind of upgrade from an old-fashioned phone to smartphone!
