Chapter 1029 - 782: Don’t think about controlling me!

As a group of them rushed forward, it was an utterly overwhelming situation!

Wielding magic had never been Long Yi’s strong suit, but it was different for them.

Attack Ai Lin with magic? Spells would be reflected back in minutes!

Attack Little Zi? Teamed with thirteen Female Demon Avatars, psychic magic would instantly teach you a lesson!

Attack the silver radiance? The shadowy dragon simply ignored it!

Attack Xiaodie? Where’s my magic? How did it suddenly vanish?

Within a few minutes, the merged Guardians realized they had run out of options.

And as their merging period came to an end, the two Guardians reappeared amidst a blur, their Mana thoroughly depleted.

"Alright, can we have a serious talk now?" Long Yi approached and asked.

"What’s there to talk about? You already know what I’ve done. If you weren’t afraid of Master Solis, why bother asking me?" The two Guardians of the Ancient Mage Tower were at a loss; they had never met such a formidable opponent. Now in Long Yi’s hands, they were not concerned, for they were Guardians of the Ancient Mage Tower, and Long Yi dared not harm them.

But in the next moment, Long Yi raised his hand, and a sword slashed off a Guardian’s head, blood gushing forth.

"So, are you sure there’s nothing you’d like to discuss?" Long Yi squatted nearby and asked with a grin.

"I..."

The Greatsword in Long Yi’s hand was already lifted.

"I do!"

Only now did the Guardian realize that Long Yi was different from the rest. He didn’t care who you were; if he wanted to kill you, he would kill you.

This Guardian had never experienced such a thing before; the relatively innocent environment of the Ancient Mage Tower meant he had never even heard of such occurrences. But fear of death is an instinct in any creature. He rattled off everything he knew in a disorganized spill, then looked at Long Yi hopefully. However, what awaited him was only the blade’s edge.

What a joke, letting go of someone plotting to kill me? Sorry, I’m no saint; I’m not that kind-hearted.

"The only reason Solis wants to kill us is that we helped Elma; he likely doesn’t know we’re investigating him," Ai Lin said.

"After this, our dispute with Solis is likely to become semi-public. We might directly join Elma’s camp next—although, in fact, we’re already part of his camp. But for now, let’s put this aside, because if those seeds’ issue isn’t resolved, a great trouble might still be ahead," Long Yi said.

Leaving the warehouse, the surrounding area was empty. Long Yi wasn’t familiar with anyone here, so naturally, no one waited for him, which instead afforded him a lot of conveniences. They finally boarded the return airship. However, the person leading the team did not inquire about the missing two Guardians of the Ancient Mage Tower, clearly, some things had been left unsaid.

Returning to the Ancient Mage Tower, encountering the ancient evil creature’s form immediately set off an alarm throughout the tower. Long Yi found Elma, selectively informed him of the matter, and requested that Elma issue an interplanar alert in the name of the Ancient Mage Tower and start an immediate investigation throughout the Plane.

In fact, regarding those departed seeds, the Ancient Mage Tower had records. It turned out that there was a device specifically monitoring spatial fluctuations, which had just recorded sixteen spatial disturbances. After careful time verification, except for the last one caused by the Guardians of the Ancient Mage Tower activating the Space Barrier, the other fifteen stemmed from the ejected seeds.

This meant that from now on, the full force of the Plane needed to be mobilized to find these fifteen deadly seeds across the vast Plane.

Elma did not hesitate and immediately issued the order, sending an emergency announcement to the entire Human world in his name.

At this time, The Divine Auffa Empire and the Empress’s Sanctuary Empire had truly become the strongest empires on the Plane. Although there were still some minor frictions, they all understood the benefits of peace. Thus, they did their utmost to develop themselves, instead of focusing on war.

However, they still greatly missed the days when Long Yi and Ai Lin were with them because if they were here, the Empress’s Sanctuary Empire and The Divine Auffa Empire would probably be even stronger, wouldn’t they?

At the moment, Emperor Saint Danze of the Sanctuary Empire was looking at a report in front of him.

A comet falling? A comet growing roots? The Science Academy is investigating? Interesting, but it’s probably just seeds on a comet, right? Such a trivial matter reported to me?

That’s what Saint Danze thought as he crumpled the report into a ball and tossed it into a wastebasket nearby.

Just then, a guard rushed in frantically.

"Your Majesty! An emergency announcement from the Ancient Mage Tower!"

The guard didn’t even knock on the door; thus, the Emperor realized the urgency of the matter. After he finished reading the announcement, he immediately rushed to the waste paper basket and carefully read the report once more.

"Damn it! So dangerous! Notify the army, and follow me to the meteorite fall zone immediately, and command everyone to stay away from the meteorite area. Nobody can use any means to investigate it! Go quickly!"

Saint Danze was terrified, especially when he heard that this seed was actually a monstrous creature capable of destroying the entire planet. The army quickly assembled, and the scientists who were already feeling anxious ahead were ordered to evacuate. At first, these scientists were very puzzled, even cursing the Emperor for being thoughtless, but when the announcement from the Ancient Mage Tower was thrust in their faces, everyone was scared stiff.

All people within a ten-kilometer radius were forcibly evacuated. The army stationed there ensured that not even a mosquito could get through.

Afterward, the people dispatched by the Ancient Mage Tower arrived.

As expected, it was Long Yi and his group.

Saint Danze never imagined that the people who showed up would be Long Yi and Ai Lin.

"Long time no see!" Long Yi said with a smile.

"It’s Mr. Long Yi! I knew you wouldn’t forget about us!" Saint Danze said excitedly.

"We’ll catch up later. Let’s go take a look at the seed first." Long Yi really couldn’t afford any delay, as the thing was too horrifying.

The seed was emitting powerful magic fluctuations, a characteristic specifically crafted by Long Yi for them. As they approached, the seed had started to germinate, but the speed was not fast. According to the records, the initial growth rate of the seed was slow, and only later did it begin to grow explosively.

However, Long Yi didn’t want to test his luck. He had already prepared a potion that was injected into it. The light of the seed dimmed immediately, its roots began to wither, and then the whole seed withered, decayed, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

"There are fourteen left," Long Yi said. "If even one of these seeds grows to maturity, it will be the end of the entire Plane."

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Saint Danze’s forehead: "I will mobilize all my forces to search for those seeds!"

Long Yi nodded and then moved a large wooden crate out from his private space: "This is a treasure I’ve collected from the Underground City, and it’s yours now!"

Saint Danze immediately broke into a beaming smile: "I knew it! You would definitely keep us in mind!"

Not long after the Ancient Mage Tower issued the announcement, the seeds started to be found one after another. Within a month, twelve of the fifteen seeds had been found.

The remaining three, however, were nowhere to be found.

Almost everyone on the Plane was drawn to this incident, as it was linked to the safety of the Plane. Various great powers also offered high rewards for the remaining three seeds, drawing nearly everyone wanting to strike it rich overnight into the race to search for the seeds.

Actually, searching for the seeds was easy, because they constantly emitted mana fluctuations. As long as you could locate that planet, a bit of diligent searching would reveal them. But with so many planets in the entire Plane, how easy could it be?

For a while, the whole incident fell into a standstill.

Meanwhile, inside the Ancient Mage Tower, Solis was standing in front of a mirror. In the mirror, his blood-red eyes were loudly scolding him: "Why haven’t you killed Long Yi yet? As long as he’s here, he’s a huge obstacle on our path to success!"

But Solis replied, "The entire Plane is in crisis now; only Long Yi can eliminate those seeds. As soon as the last three seeds are destroyed, I’ll make my move."

The Solis in the mirror flew into a rage: "You fool, I’ve told you before, we, the God Chasers, are beings that pursue the footsteps of gods. Once we gain control of the Ancient Mage Tower and uncover the secrets of the Giants, I can take you into the realm of gods! What does the safety of this Plane have to do with you?"

Solis, however, let out a cold chuckle: "You’re just a fragment of consciousness. Whether what you say is true or false, only you know. As for this realm of gods, I’ve never heard of it. If you were really that powerful, the Empress of the demon realm wouldn’t have beaten you so badly. Now that you’re parasitic in my consciousness, you’d better just watch quietly as I go about my business."

The blood-red glow in the eyes of the Solis in the mirror reached a climax: "No! I think, it’s time I took control!"

Solis’s expression immediately stiffened, and his body began to tremble violently.

"You... don’t even think about taking over my consciousness!" Solis tried to look away, but his body seemed to be nailed in place and couldn’t move an inch!

"Open up your consciousness completely to me! Stop resisting! I will bring you infinite power!" the Solis in the mirror said in a deep voice.

"No! You won’t control me!" Solis roared, his eyes suddenly shooting out two Runes that shattered the mirror. He collapsed completely, sweating profusely.

But the shattered mirror was full of the reflection of red-eyed Solis! However, almost at the same time, Solis had already closed his eyes.

"Don’t even dream of controlling me, parasite. Our relationship is nothing but mutual use, and today you overstepped your bounds!" (To be continued.
