Chapter 426 - 322: The War in the Heaven Realm

Heaven Realm.

Many believe that the Celestial Clan was simply fortunate to occupy the most fertile and beautiful lands in the Heaven Realm. But those with knowledge would tell them that the Celestial Clan was not born rulers. What they have today was achieved through brutal and bloody wars. Even now, a third of the territory on this planet, the Heaven Realm, remains a forbidden area for the Celestial Clan. This is because it is infested with Ghost Spirits, the worst nightmare of all Celestial Clan members.

Initially, only the Celestial Clan inhabited the Heaven Realm, until one day, the Ghost Spirits appeared.

The Ghost Spirits are pure energy beings, an odd semi-spiritual creature with only half a soul. Therefore, they cannot survive long in the Heaven Realm; they must rely on a physical body. The deceased bodies of the Celestial Clan members serve as the ideal hosts for them.

To seize the bodies of the Celestial Clan, they kill them using a powerful Mental Impact, destroying their consciousness, occupying their souls, and hence taking control of their bodies. Because the bodies cannot withstand their terrifying onslaught, they gradually wilt, and the wings on their back wither like dry branches. The Ghost Spirits continually absorb energy and split into new Ghost Spirits within these bodies. Once a body has no energy left, the Ghost Spirits immediately abandon their withered shell and seek a new one in a cyclic manner.

Ghost Spirits are incredibly evil and greedy, but the Celestial Clan is not without ways to fight back.

Once a body is occupied, the Celestial Clan immediately releases its knowledgeable soul, leaving behind an empty body where it confines the Ghost Spirits with a curse. Once the body dies, the Ghost Spirits die with it.

After many years of war, the Celestial Clan gradually mastered ways to combat the Ghost Spirits, confining them to one third of the Heaven Realm’s territory with a unique seal. Here, nearly ten million Ghost Spirits resided.

While the Celestial Clan figured out how to combat the Ghost Spirits, the Ghost Spirits found a way to adapt to this world as well.

To survive in this world, the Ghost Spirits no longer reproduce indiscriminately. Without a new host, they put themselves into a state of hibernation. In this state, the Ghost Spirits barely consume any energy and can be awakened to fight within mere seconds when any danger is detected.

Even today, the fight between the Celestial Clan and the Ghost Spirits has not ended.

The modern-day forbidden zone of the Heaven Realm was once its most prosperous area, the original capital of the Celestial Clan. The sudden invasion of the Ghost Spirits led to a grave disaster for the Celestial Clan, even forcing them to abandon their majestic capital which has yet to be reclaimed to this day.

Each Celestial Emperor has tried to exterminate the Ghost Spirits and reclaim the lost glory of the Celestial Clan. But the Ghost Spirits are so powerful that one can contend with ten of the most elite Celestial Clan warriors. The Ghost Spirits’ Mental Impact, in particular, is capable of instantly incapacitating even the strongest warrior.

Every year, every month, every day, and practically every moment, the battles between the Celestial Clan and the Ghost Spirits on the forbidden battlefield never cease.

At this moment, in front of the colossal Boundary Monument standing a kilometer high, a group of several thousand Celestial Clan warriors had just retreated from the front line.

"Medic! We have seven fatal injuries and thirty-five severe ones!"

The sergeant hollered. Immediately, a group of medical soldiers flew over and some horribly mutilated warriors screamed again under their scalpels.

Elsa slowly landed from the sky, her body armor showing no trace of damage, still pristine white, but Little White on her shoulder could hardly hide its fatigue. Elsa may not display it, but there was a deep-seated fatigue in her eyes as well.

"Princess Elsa, this is your eleventh sortie," the sergeant-major, panting, advised her. "Please rest awhile."

Elsa shook her head, saying, "I’m fine, I still have plenty of energy left. I’m the only one among us who isn’t frightened by the creature’s constant Mental Impact. That creature has been lurking there for over a hundred years. If we can’t slaughter it today, all our earlier efforts will have been in vain."

The Sergeant Major looked at Elsa, the corner of his mouth twitched but he said nothing further, giving her a deep military salute and then departing.

Elsa took flight, leaning against the Boundary Monument, feeling the faint energy of the Giant emanating from it. But her mind was consumed with thoughts of Long Yi. If confronted with such a monster, what would Long Yi do?

Below, two newly operated volunteer soldiers hurried past. One said, "Ah, wouldn’t it be great if the Giants had left behind some ultimate weapon for us back then? We could wipe out all the Ghost Spirits with just a blast, boom! Boom! Annihilate them all! Now we can only rely on these Boundary Monuments. We have no idea when we’ll be able to drive out all the Ghost Spirits."

The other one laughed and said, "Mate, don’t be too greedy. If the Giants hadn’t shared this technology of the Boundary Monument with us when the Ghost Spirits invaded, I fear we Celestial Clan would’ve been wiped out. Unfortunately, by the time we erected the Boundary Monument, half of our territory had already been occupied. Still, at least this Boundary Monument has protected us from the Ghost Spirits for nearly ten thousand years."

"Yeah, I know. Over these ten thousand years, the number of Ghost Spirits has decreased from the initial tens of millions to about ten million now, which might be considered a significant victory for us. I just feel that in our lifetime, there’s barely any chance of seeing them eradicated."

"Ha ha, we are just over three hundred years old and still have a good seven hundred years ahead of us. Maybe our Emperor will suddenly discover some Giant technology that wipes out the Ghost Spirits all at once!"

"Ha ha ha! That would be fantastic! I’ve heard that our original capital city was as beautiful as a painting! I wonder what those stupid Ghost Spirits have destroyed it into!"

"Come on, stop dreaming. Let’s hurry up! This seriously injured brother over here needs us."

"Let’s go!"

Elsa closed her eyes, listening to their conversation. The Giant’s power and Elsa’s resonating from behind the Boundary Monument, allowing Elsa to quickly recover from her fatigue.

Just like what the two had mentioned earlier, this Boundary Monument is the technology granted by the Giants. Within a radius of ten kilometers from the Boundary Monument, all Ghost Spirits lose their activity. The Celestial Clan has survived thanks to the Boundary Monument. The Giants tried to develop a weapon capable of eradicating the Ghost Spirits, but then, the Dragon Clan attacked the Giants. Thus, the Giants were thrown into war and no longer had time for anything else. Until later, the Giants left the universe and never returned.

Until the appearance of Long Yi.

Thinking of Long Yi, a sense of sweetness filled Elsa’s heart. She pressed her hand to her chest, feeling the powerful pulsation within. The surging energy invigorated Elsa’s spirits.

If Brother Long were here, perhaps he could help? Elsa thought.

No, I can’t rely on Brother Long anymore. Brother Long has already given me his most precious thing, I, Elsa, absolutely cannot tarnish Brother Long’s trust in me! Elsa shakes her head vigorously.

And the resonance coming from the boundary monument becomes more and more obvious.

Elsa suddenly feels a blurry vision.

What’s wrong? Am I too tired? Elsa quickly uses one hand to lean on the monument, almost simultaneously, her palm sticks firmly on it.

Boom!

Above the monument, large written characters, brimming with dazzling light, slowly surfaced. They were symbols Elsa had never seen before. But at this moment, they felt unimaginably familiar to Elsa.

Giant’s text!

Elsa slowly opens her mouth, uttering inconceivable notes that gradually form into a sentence.

"Ghost Eviction!"

Hum!

The resonance sound arises, those characters actually flew down from the huge monument, encircling Elsa’s body!

Almost at the same time, Elsa immediately understood the meaning of all this.

This monument, it’s not just standing here in a simple manner. When the giant’s strength is infused into the monument, it triggers another ability of the monument- Ghost Eviction.

The characters former by the giant’s strength surrounds the body, forming the ultimate weapon against the ghost spirits. Within a radius of several hundred meters, any mental attack by the ghost spirit will be nullified, and any ghost spirit that touches the characters will instantly be forcefully expelled from the body. The expelled ghost spirits can’t move at will in a short time, any energy attack will cause higher damage to the expelled ghost spirit, it will instantly be destroyed. Even if not destroyed, the expelled ghost spirits can’t occupy any new body, because it is already a complete soul.

This is the power of Ghost Eviction.

However, this enhancement can only last for three hours. After three hours, it will have to return to the monument to reactivate.

At this moment, everyone is watching Elsa, including those soldiers who just returned, and those who are about to set out.

Elsa is incredibly excited at this moment.

Thank you, Brother Long! This is your gift to me!

Under the leadership of Elsa, the Celestial Clan army sets out once again. Ten kilometers away, the ghost spirit army has regrouped, no one knows when this war will end. But all the Celestial Clan soldiers know that every ghost spirit they eliminate is a step closer to the end of this war!

Elsa significantly accelerated this process.

Ghost eviction is extremely lethal to the Ghost Spirits, Elsa doesn’t even need to seriously fight with each ghost spirit, she just needs to charge headlong into the crowd of ghost spirits. The ghost spirits in front of her are all turned upside down, and those who try to attack her are immediately expelled from their bodies when they touch the characters encircling her body and thrown into the air. Almost simultaneously, the Celestial Clan soldiers swarm in.

The soldiers couldn’t remember how many battles they had participated in, or how many ghost spirits they had killed. But never had there been a day, where they could fight so heartily!

The Ghost Spirits, never this fragile!

When the last ghost spirit falls and turns to dust in the air, everyone can’t believe their eyes. Never in all these battles has anyone been able to annihilate an entire group of ghost spirits in such a short time!

The reinforcements from the Ghost spirits haven’t even had time to arrive!

"Long live Princess Elsa!"

A soldier shouts out loud.

"Long live Princess Elsa!" The soldiers chant in unison, their voices echoing earth-shattering.

"Return! Let’s move the Monument!" Elsa screams.

"Return! Move the Monument!"

Joy is written all over the faces of the soldiers.

Move the Monument! Even if it’s just one meter! It means that the Celestial Clan’s territory has taken back one meter from the Ghost Spirits! (To be continued.
