CHAPTER 988: CHAPTER 530: IT’S SIMPLE, JUST HAVE LITTLE BLACK HAIR BECOME A GOD! (PART 2)

Grandfather and Chen Qi could still move, but she couldn’t determine who had won.

"It should be Qi who won."

After all, he is the man who came from our ship!

The little crow looked up at Chen Qi, inexplicably proud.

"No, no, he didn’t win..."

Grandfather, dragging his ruined body, stepped onto this island.

At this moment, his flesh had stopped regenerating, internal organs falling out, his whole form resembled a skeleton covered in flesh and blood.

Bam!

With the step he took, he immediately fell, and could only crawl forward by wriggling—

Chen Qi watched grandfather creeping along on the ground.

Now, grandfather was barely alive, relying solely on the last trace of the Power of the Cup of Miracles.

But the moment this power dissipated, he would turn into ashes.

Chen Qi said:

"It’s over."

However, grandfather seemed not to hear Chen Qi’s words, struggling to crawl onwards:

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"Without my protection, all of you will die!"

"This is the holy ground where I ascend to demigod!

And by the law, anyone who touches this ritual is sentenced to death!

Everyone who has come into contact with this ritual, will die!"

"All!"

"Even you are no exception!"

Grandfather lifted his bloodied head, his scarlet eyes glaring at Chen Qi.

In his view, Chen Qi, even though he too was at the sixth rank, was merely another target for the Empress to purge.

And he would be the first to be purged!

"The Golden Canary Family will die, the Hunter Group will die..."

"You are nothing..."

"Unless I can ascend to demigod, demigod..."

"Only if I ascend to demigod, can I save you!"

In these final moments, grandfather ceased to fight.

Instead, he made the person he most despised— the supreme being above the kingdom— his shield.

All of this was just the self-deception of the defeated.

Yet, despite this, grandfather’s words continued to echo in the hearts of everyone.

Until grandfather, reaching into his backpack card, pulled out a Balance Contract from the Forbidden Rift.

In grandfather’s opinion, it was a Divine Contract, something even the gods could not defy.

He was willing to accept any terms, as long as Chen Qi could let him ascend, to resist the Empress.

"Hunter, the hunter spares you! Let’s survive together!"

Chen Qi, looking at his words, felt nothing.

He only wished to adjust his spiritual power, and with one palm strike, end this old monster.

However, others became more and more shaken.

Even many members of the Golden Canary Family cast pleading looks towards Chen Qi.

Indeed, grandfather wanted to kill them all—

But without grandfather, how could they confront the Empress again?

The Empress was the divine being of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

Just like grandfather said, they had no means to fight against a true demigod.

Killing grandfather meant death, not killing him also meant death.

"Qi, please, end everything..."

Daphne bit her lip, making up her mind.

The end of the Golden Canary Family might conclude here.

"Moreover, we killed the Empress who wanted to ascend to demigod."

"Perhaps, the Empress isn’t that cruel?"

"I remember the clan leader saying, the Empress likes interesting people, if I can perform an amusing show for her..."

"Qi is also very young and at the sixth rank, he could earn the Empress’s favor."

One optimistic thought after another emerged from Daphne’s mind.

She vaguely remembered, the Empress was a supreme being of the Flower Phase, who loved nature and the arts of joy.

Lai Te also said:

"Don’t worry, our value is great, the Empress won’t kill us."

"I am willing to help the Empress build her palace!"

Lai Te added.

"The Empress likes maidens.

I’m still quite good-looking."

Ivver also said.

Everyone began to voice their support too.

Rather than the grandfather who wanted to sacrifice the whole family, they would rather believe in the elusive Empress!

But soon, opposing voices emerged.

"Hunter, I beg you, I beg you, give grandfather a chance..."

Chen Qi looked in the direction of the voice.

It was a young man with a disfigured face:

"I know that Empress, unless, unless you can spark her interest..."

"Otherwise, you’re surely dead, no matter how strong you are, you will die."

"The Empress is very cruel, to her, we are mere ants..."

"I beg you, Hunter."

If Qi falls into the Empress’s hands... Fen vaguely remembered, the Empress had a vicious pleasure in toying with powerful men and women.

No way!

A small green leaf was sprouting from the flower atop Fen’s head.

A demigod was enough to influence an entire nation, and many ways of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom came from this Empress.

Now, more and more opposing voices could be heard.

Chen Qi looked at everyone, about to say something.

Just then, the voice of the long-silent witch spoke up.

Seeing the Ice Witch step forward, her eyes fearless:

"Truly, just an insignificant demigod, and you’re so afraid."

"Isn’t it just because grandfather couldn’t become a demigod, that you can’t fight against a demigod!"

Could it be that Big White Fur had a way? All attention turned to the Ice Witch.

Seeing the Ice Witch wave her hand, sneering:

"Very simple, Little Black Fur becomes a demigod, problem solved!"

"..."

The words of the Ice Witch, like a tsunami, deeply etched themselves into everyone’s hearts.

"..."

Everyone was taken aback.

Indeed, if Chen Qi could ascend to demigod, all crises could be resolved.

After all, in the recent battle, Chen Qi had protected them.

But, was this truly achievable?

Even Chen Qi cast a complex look.

He couldn’t be sure whether he could seize the divine status of the Beast of Hundred Flowers.

After all, it’s known that grandfather had prepared for a hundred years to seize the divine status of the Beast of Hundred Flowers.

"Big White Fur, are you sure you can do it?"

The Ice Witch stroked her chin.

"Normally, accommodating a divine status causes intense backlash—"

"A divine status distorts the mind, gradually stripping away human feelings, eventually turning one into an emotionless special being, or, an emotionless god..."

"But, Qi, your case is special, your spiritual power endowment is extraordinarily powerful, you can even charm ancient creatures like the Ember Beast—"

"With enough time, your talent might suppress the divine status of the Beast of Hundred Flowers."

"This crack hasn’t ended, we can gather more unique items from the rift..."

The Ice Witch slightly lifted her chin:

"Of course, most importantly, I am here!"

She knew much about the knowledge to ascend to demigod.

This knowledge, far surpassed grandfather’s.

With her personal guidance, it wasn’t impossible.

In the dazed gazes of everyone, the Ice Witch softly said:

"In short, with my help, in about a month’s time, Qi has an 80% chance of ascending to demigod..."

"80%..."

Whether it was Fen, or Daphne, or Ann, they all showed eyes of anticipation and envy.

Although a sixth rank Transcendent was powerful, they were ultimately crushed beneath the demigods standing atop every nation!

Ascending to demigod meant breaking free from this shackle.

In this New Day World where the divine had dissipated, a demigod had no opponent, stands as the mightiest existence at the top of this world.

If Chen Qi could ascend to demigod, not just saving one Golden Canary Family, even creating a new one, ten Golden Canary Families, would be simple!

"Teacher, is there anything I can help with?"

Fen asked.

"I will plan."

The Ice Witch lowered her head, beginning to think about the initial plan.

The entire ritual of seizing the divine status was on the Tree of Hundred Flowers.

With Chen Qi’s capabilities, retrieving the tree wasn’t difficult.

Besides that, they also had to ensure that their rise to demigod in the rift wasn’t heard by the Empress.

This matter required Lilith of the White Dove Newspaper, and the backing of the White Dove Newspaper.

Once the Ice Witch confirmed the initial plan, Chen Qi turned his head, looking at grandfather.

Grandfather had fallen to the ground, the man who had once pledged to avenge the Empress.

At this moment, his body and ambitions had scattered with the wind, leaving only a special Sixth Rank Professional Card and a magic potion.
