Gacha Sovereign Chapter 774 - Revival of the Ancestor

Chapter 774 - Revival of the Ancestor

In the depth of the valley covered with white snow was a lake that couldn't be frozen by the temperature. There was a white platform in the middle of that lake as if it was floating on the water with a few pillars circling on the edge of this round platform.
Sixteen people stood on the platform, wearing the same white outfit with a weird flower pattern. The youngest out of them slowly walked toward a stone table in the middle of it.
"You are going to receive the inheritance of the ancestor and be reborn after this baptism, and your talent will be the same as a Pure Ice Element if not surpassing her. However, you must stay awake for the whole process… Can you do that?" An old woman walked toward the young girl and asked.
"I have been preparing myself for today. That question is unnecessary."
"Then lie on the table, and we will start the ritual."
The young girl nodded and looked at the table covered with symbols before lying down on it. She looked up and couldn't help but remember a certain someone in her memory. She was blessed with such talent even though she was just a mere ant from Willow Continent.
Even the elders ordered her to befriend her and made her as comfortable as possible, even if it meant she needed to serve her. How could she, the first talent of Snow White Mountain, do that?
Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything due to her weak strength and low importance, so she could only follow their order and did whatever Letizia wanted. Unlike Letizia, who had experienced two different perspectives, she had been living at the top for as long as she remembered. How could she become someone's servant?
Five years ago, a chance appeared when that lowly person actually revealed her identity as a servant. It was the best day of her life because Letizia's life changed drastically. The elders that had been backing her scorned her and stripped her of her rank. The friends she made from the sect looked at her with disdain. She even sped up the process by sharing more rumors about Letizia, such as a S.e.x Slave.
In the end, the elders decided to grant Letizia Sacrificial Element to her and locked Letizia. She became the first one to mock her the moment she entered the prison.
When she could finally be reborn, she gazed at the blue sky far above the cliff. Clenching her fists, she thought, 'I will make sure your life will be more miserable than what you have right now! As long as you don't die, I can send you to the brothels and become a cheap s.l.u.t there.'
Of course, the elders had no knowledge about this thought. They merely thought of her as an object to resurrect their ancestor and bring glory to the sect.
"Elders, are you ready?" The old woman asked with a serious expression.
"Yes. We are ready. The array is also functional."
"There is no shortage of energy here. We are good to go."
The elders answered the old woman.
"Rhione…"
"Yes, I am ready, Sect Master."
"Good!" The old woman nodded before she shouted. "Let's st—"
*Crack!*
"!!!" An elder suddenly felt something cracking inside her mind as she shouted. "Who dares to trespass my Snow White Mountain?!"
"—art?!" The sect master furrowed her eyebrows as her words just got interrupted by a 9-Star Martial Saint elder.
"I am sorry for yelling, but my seal in that slave's shackles just vanished."
"What?!" Not only the sect master but everyone in this place was utterly shocked. Rhione, the youngest one, even stood up as she looked at the elder.
"There has been no big movement recently… How can someone sneak inside our prison?" The elder closed her eyes in confusion.
"Is there anyone who visited her recently? Does she still have a friend here?"
"I visited her three days ago, but her appearance was a mess, and her cultivation didn't progress. As for her friend… I think everyone has abandoned her." Rhione was the first one to open her mouth.
The sect master ignored that fact because she knew how Rhione treated Letizia this whole time and concluded. "There is an intruder in this sect then. Still, to think someone managed to get past our defense… This is atrocious."
"No, Patriarch. If there is such a high-skilled person, only one possibility will remain. That person must be Letizia's master. Considering he or she has been waiting this whole time and only acts now, I believe that person must know about this ritual and be afraid of our power. Because this is the only time where we can't help anyone…"
"Fair enough. This means her master shouldn't be a person with a high skill…" The sect master thought for a moment and ordered. "We should proceed with the ritual… But there must be someone from here to go there to catch these two. Elder Hanny and Wei will lead the other elders to catch these two and make sure they can't escape from this place."
"But there will be a hole in the array…" The two elders looked at the array with a worried expression. They knew they were chosen because they were the weakest, but it didn't mean they could easily leave their post.
"Elder Hua and Elder Mian will take your position as well." The sect master glanced at the two 9-Star Martial Saint elders before saying, "I will be doing the synchronization."
The two 9-Star elders looked at each other and nodded. "Alright. We will handle it. Still, we think sending one of them is enough."
"No. Although the opposite party seems to have a weaker cultivation base, that person still has the advantage after planning for a long time. I don't want them to escape, so I will have these two to catch them. However, if I send more, we will be in trouble because it's hard to handle the array." The sect master shook her head.
"…" The two elders thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright."
The 7-Star elders had no other choice than obeying the order and leaped toward the sect to handle this matter. Little did they know the two people they were searching for had actually arrived not far from this place, completely hiding their presence.
'The most dangerous place is the safest place…' Alex thought for a moment as he watched how the situation revolved without any change of expression. He then looked at Letizia, who seemed to carry some hatred to these elders and warned her. 'Don't leak your intent away, lest they notice us.'
Letizia looked at Alex for a few seconds before nodding. 'Yes, Master. I am sorry.'
Alex shook his head, pointed his finger behind them, and said, 'Our reinforcement has arrived.'
Nine figures suddenly appeared behind them, taking their breath away.
The spirits didn't say anything nor move from their position. Instead, they nodded to him and remained still.
Viola, who was supposed to be the strongest here, was taken aback because she couldn't sense their presence. She was in utter shock. If people under Alex were monsters like this, she simply had no word how to express this sudden information.
On the other hand, Letizia knew a few of them, but she couldn't find someone that completely changed her fate, Nelson. As much as she wanted to be surprised, her excitement disappeared due to the fact that the system explained it to her.
As for Firia, she already knew about this surprise anyway.
'We will wait until their ancestor has taken over the body and end it all. The first thing we should do is destroy all the pillars on that platform. They are the ones supplying the body and the soul with nourishment. After that, all of you will get into your respective part. Great Elder Viola will handle the 10-Star Martial Saint while I give you a chance to kill the one who makes this mess and the one who scorned you this whole time, Letizia. Your strength is superior to her, even though her cultivation base is higher. Just be careful about the tricks that the ancestor will pull. I will help you as soon as I am done with my opponent.' Alex sent transmission thought to all of them.
They nodded.
'Hmm… Killing all elders will only give a sharp decline, and the disciples will soon go separate ways… So I don't think it's wise to kill all of them." Alex thought for a moment and raised five fingers. "Kill five of them… One 8-Star and four 7-Star Martial Saints. This should be enough to make them angry to the point they will ally themselves with the Fire God Clan until one side perish. With the help of the Ancient Blue Family, this battle is ours."
"Master. I have a question for you." Sherry suddenly came out and asked. "Can I use that transformation technique? After all, this won't be the last time we meet them."
"It's fine. The Ancient Blue Family should have known of that technique, and with the fact that they are busy dealing with their own problem, I don't think they want this technique. And there is not much information about this technique for either the Snow White Mountain and the Fire God Clan."
"Then who will kill the other four beside you?"
"Anna, Sherry, Fabio and Vera. In addition, Letizia will kill their ancestor."
The groups nodded as they watched how the process went.
The elders and the sect master activated the array until it glowed bright gold. The Spiritual Energy rose out of the pillars and flowed inside her body, followed by the energy from the lake.
Meanwhile, inside Rhione's consciousness, the aforementioned person was still looking around, only to find darkness. Suddenly, a bright blue soul appeared before her and turned into another lady with short hair.
"Who are you?! No, are you the ancestor?" Rhione gasped and asked.
"Oh! An intelligent little girl with a top-notch talent such as Sacrificial Ice. If that foolish girl could tell the elders about her master, she would have this opportunity. Unlike you, she is not a smart person!" The girl nodded with a smile, completely praising Rhione.
To hear such praise from the ancestor of Snow White Mountain, Rhione couldn't hide her grin. "Thank you for such praise, Ancestor."
"Good. You also have a humble personality. I like you already. Girl, do you want my inheritance?" The female asked with a gentle expression.
Rhione immediately bowed her head and said, "Yes. Thank you for your guidance."
The female nodded and patted her head. "Now, I am going to impart my knowledge to you. The process might be a bit hurt due to the huge amount of information, so I want you to withstand it."
"Yes. Junior knows."
"I will start then." The female nodded as she channeled Spiritual Energy to her.
Rhione immediately sat down and started cultivating while screaming in pain.
"Argh!"
"Endure!" The female kept inserting the Spiritual Energy into her for thirty minutes.
Noticing the stop of the Spiritual Energy, Rhione gradually opened her eyes as she heard.
"Congratulations. You have succeeded."
"But I don't see any difference, Ancestor."
"Take a look at your body."
Rhione tilted her head and raised her hand only to find nothing. "Eh?!" She thought when she realized no matter what she did, she couldn't see anything other than the ancestor.
On the other hand, the ancestor still pinched her between two fingers, looking at the blue pill, AKA, Rhione. "Congratulations, little girl. You have become the pill that this ancestor needs to revive."
"What?! Ancestor, you are joking right?" Rhione still believed in her ancestor, only to find her getting brought into her mouth.
"No, no. This can't be. Ancestor!" Rhione was still in denial even though the female didn't reply to her.
Without wasting a single second, she swallowed the pill.
"Noooo!!" Her shaking and a terrified voice echoed in the female's mouth and lung, only to disappear the second the mouth closed.
At the same time, Spiritual Energy began gathering around the female body as she laughed. "Haha… This is good! I have finally gotten rid of that nuisance. Since I inherit your memory as well, I will make sure that Letizia experiences something worse than hell."
As she shouted inside, her soul began to disappear as she returned to Rhione's body.
"Good work for all of you." A voice suddenly echoed across the platform as Rhione's body slowly rose from the table.
"Ancestor!" The sect master and the elders kneeled and clasped their hands. "We are happy to see you back."
"It has been eight thousand years… It is a shame that I can't get that Pure Ice Element girl, but this girl is not that bad. And with all my skill… Our Snow White Mountain will become the peak of this world." Rhione laughed as she looked at all of them. "Get up."
"Yes!" All of them stood up and waited for her to say anything.
"Make sure no one knows about my revival." The ancestor said before sitting in a lotus position. "I will stay here for the time being to reco—! Not good!"
Before she finished her words, several attacks were launched, aiming toward the pillars.
*Boom Boom Boom!*
