Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 240: Runs Deep

The turmoil Kaskk and Rosa caused lasted five hours.

Kaskk was leading his army over the ocean when they up and vanished. Rosa? The Sacred Maiden of the Catholic Church in the west beat him back. His whereabout unknown. 

Li Mo learned of this three days later.

In the face of Kaskk and Rosas failure, Li Mo was astonished.

Kaskk and Rosa were renown figures among the eleven fierce races in the universe. In his past life, they robbed Earth of everything, forcing humans to flee among the stars.

But this event awoke Li Mo to the errors of his thinking.

Earths cultivators not only did not collapse at first contact, but were far stronger than he ever realized.

The Undying Geezer Yao Changsheng, Timeless Immortal Zhou Mengxian, the western curch, experts hidden in many small countries, all of them possessed the power to kill Kaskk and Rosa. 

If Earths forces ran so deep, why did they collapse in one blow? Just what exactly happened in his past life?

Li Mo couldnt make heads or tail of it.

Regardless of the reason, he was not going to allow that tragedy to repeat itself again!

Li Mo landed where Kaskk and his armies fought, finding an insect wing.

It burst into flames and the blue smoke drifted North.

In a glum cave, Kaskk, with his cracked shell all over, huddled into a ball, with the lacerated body of Rosa to the side.

That Sacred Maiden was holding a book. She only said God, cleanse this evil! and hundreds of white rays descended, making my Glimmer race warriors disappear.

Just like that, gone. Leaving nothing behind. If not for my quick escape, even Id be a goner. Just recalling it left Rosa shivering.

Kaskk, with your Cricket races rebirth trait, as long as you are not cut in nine pieces youll never die. How come your army got destroyed as well?

Kaskk spoke feebly, While flying above the ocean, a sudden attack came from beneath the water. That mystery person moved swiftly like lightning, crushing my two hundred warriors to bits with his bare hands.

I only survived because of my space treasure.

A rusted iron rod laid before Kaskk, half a foot long and dark.

Rosa glanced over, Magic weapons that can make a Gate at any time are exceedingly rare. But Kaskk, was it worth using it to save our lives?

Kaskk snorted, Of course its worth it. This is humanitys ancestral artifact!

What use does a damaged ancestral artifact have besides teleporting? Your Cricket race has the Night Demon Shell as ancestral artifact, while my Glimmer race has Pearl of Emptiness. In regards to power, which one isnt better than the humans damaged ancestral artifact?

Rosa, there are secrets your Glimmer race do not know. I wouldn never speak of it before, but now its different. The only fierce races on Earth in this moment are just the two of us. We only have each other, so I wont hide anything from you.

What do you think of humanitys power?

I used to despise them, until I suffered dearly at the hands of that Sacred Maiden a few days back. I then realized humanity is unfathomable!

Precisely!

Who is the most famous in the universe regarding strength? The ten great races and the five strongest. But did you know that before they appeared, what race ruled the universe?

The ten sacred beasts.

No, they never ruled Earth. The so called sacred beasts only had immense strength. But after the sacred beasts vanished, in but centuries, a single race appeared that dominated the universe.

Centuries? Rosa was stunned.

Kaskk nodded.

Yes, centuries. Humanity rose up all of a sudden, established the Heavenly Court, and making many races show their allegiance. Heavenly Courts first Heavenly Emperor ruled for nearly ten thousand years over half the universe.

But because inner turmoil led to civil war in which Heavenly Emperor died and their planets life force was severed, Heavenly Court was on the decline. And today, few races are those that remember of the humanitys Heavenly Emperors glory.

But we, the Cricket race, do. Because one of my Cricket race ancestor joined the Heavenly Court and saw the godly might of the Heavenly Emperor for himself!

In the time of the mighty sacred beasts, who ever heard of humanity? But according to my ancestor, humanity rose to power because of their ancestral artifact!

Rosa was shocked, Youre saying the humans secret to ruling the universe lays in this damaged iron stick?

Absolutely!

In this universe, there are many strong races that can move with no regard to consequences. But which race has hundreds of constitutions, thousands of talents? Though not every human possesses one, but as long as there are descendants, they all have a change at getting one once awakened. Curses, does your Glimmer race have such descendants? Or mine?

From the words of my ancestor, the secret to the humanitys golden age lies with this Staff of Origin. If I can gather even a third of it, I will find the true secret of humanitys power.

If the weak humans could rule half the universe, cant we do the same? We just need to find the Staff of Origins fragments on Earth and we will never need to fear those ten great races and five strongest again.

Is this damaged stick so great?

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

You cant even begin to imagine!

Earth used to be an ancient planet with no signs on humans. But at some point, when the planet was ruled by demons, humans were also present. They were here because the one in charge of the Staff of Origin from the Heavenly Court fled here with a few hundred thousand humans.

And to shield their offspring from bloodshed, that person sacrificed himself to sever Earths connection to the God Realm, wiping out its coordinates

My Cricket race ancestor came on Earth as well, but hated the human descendants actions with a passion. He managed to kill hundreds before the feeble humans decided to scatter the Staff of Origin into fragment as to not let my ancestor take it

Henceforth, the Staff of Origins fragments were spread all over the Earth. My ancestor had to use that one lonely fragment to move from planet to planet until he arrived at our home planet.

If ancestor hadnt left behind that Gate, how could we have come here?

But what is so hateful is that someone squealed, letting the Nine-headed race catch wind of this and enslav our races Kaskk sighed.

Where is that Staff of Origin fragment now? When will we be able to collect them all? Kaskk, I wont lie to you. I am scared. How about we use these fragments and go back to prepare for another attack?

We cant go back. Even if we do, we will need to leave a Gate behind on Earth, or we will never get to return.

The fragments I have are too few and unable to make them resonate with other pieces. Ive been on Earth for so long, but only managed to get two.

Hum~

Only allowed on

Amidst Kaskks regret, the Staff of Origin fragments shined.
