Chapter 58: Ash Sea Relic Pearl; Dragon Hidden Truth
##**Chapter 57: Ash Sea Relic Pearl; Dragon Hidden Truth**
###**I. Ash Illuminates Bones; Father's Name Suddenly Appears**
Lin Jin's fingertip brushed over the cracks in his mother's battle helmet, and the Ash Sea suddenly surged with dragon bone remains. Embedded in the heart cavity of the skeleton was half a bronze token, on the back of which was carved:
**"76th Year of Dragon Abyss; Ao Zhan enters the furnace; Burial Fire is first formed."**
Ao Li's quantum state suddenly became disordered, and in the Nirvana Fire appeared a tampered memory—on the dragon clan altar, the infant in swaddling clothes had his brow bone gouged out, and when dragon blood was injected, dragon scales split out from the infant's back, yet he emitted a human cry!
"So Father was human, not dragon..." Lin Jin crushed the token, and star sand condensed into a scene: the young Ao Zhan was locked in a dragon clan laboratory with iron chains, and the Burial Fire crystal core implanted in his spine originated from the same source as Lin Jin's Ash Marrow!
###**II. Mother Clan Testament; Carefree Traces Appear**
A blood jade slip suddenly popped out from the secret compartment of the battle helmet, and Ling Yue's handwriting burned in the void:
**"Jin'er, if you see this book, go quickly to the southeast of Gui Xu to find the Ling Clan Sword Tomb. Grandfather Ling Cang left the Carefree Sword Seal at..."**
The handwriting suddenly distorted, revealing encrypted star chart coordinates. Lin Jin unsealed them with Ash Marrow, actually reflecting the scene of Xiaoyaozi and Ling Cang playing chess! Scattered on the stone table were dragon clan experimental records, with the blood letter at the very top:
**"Ao Zhan is not a dragon; Burial Fire was stolen from a human saint infant. The Ling Clan regrets it; Yue'er, flee quickly!"**
Xiaoyaozi's hand paused as he placed a chess piece, and the piece split open to reveal a miniature jade box—soaking inside was the gene sample extracted from Ling Yue!
###**III. Dragon Tomb Weeps Blood; Burial Fire Traces Source**
Following the star chart to the dragon clan ruins, sword marks suddenly appeared amidst the broken walls. The "Non-Delusion" sword of Ling Cang was stuck in the center of the altar, with half-charred Carefree Tokens tied to the sword tassel. The instant Lin Jin pulled out the sword, eighty-one dragon soul steles rose from the ground:
-The seventh stele carved the scene of Ao Zhan being stripped of Burial Fire, with the dragon clan elder grinning hideously as he implanted the crystal core into the Dragon Crown Prince's brow;
-The thirty-third stele revealed the scene of Ling Yue sneaking into Dragon Abyss, only to be betrayed by a Ling Clan traitor when stealing the Burial Fire;
-The final stele inscription dripped blood: "Ling Cang wept blood for one hundred thousand years, finally finding Yue'er's remnant consciousness in the Ash Sea..."
The sword blade suddenly hummed, and the Non-Delusion sword reflected Ling Cang's final image: "Xiaoyao, you old thief! You said you would help me find my daughter, yet you transformed her into an Observer container!"
###**IV. Xiaoyao's Chess Game; One Hundred Thousand Years of Planning**
Xiaoyaozi's phantom emerged from the sword, with the miniatures of eight hundred thousand jade boxes suspended in his palm: "Good grand-disciple, do you know why Burial Fire chose your father?"
The jade box group suddenly pieced together into a star chart, revealing a shocking conspiracy:
-Ao Zhan's human saint infant body was the best container to bear Burial Fire;
-The Observer genes implanted in Ling Yue were actually the "Anti-God Factor" stolen by Xiaoyaozi from the Origin Council;
-Lin Jin, born from the union of the two, was actually the key to breaking the world that Xiaoyaozi had laid out for one hundred thousand years!
Ao Li suddenly vomited black blood, and in the Nirvana Fire appeared golden chains—deep in her soul was hidden Xiaoyaozi's suppression restriction!
###**V. Ash Burns Restrictions; Parents Shine Together**
Lin Jin invoked the Burial Fire origin of the Ash Sea, and the flames burned backward along the soul chains of Ao Li. Xiaoyaozi's phantom suddenly distorted, and a key engraved with Ling Cang's blood seal flew out from the jade box group:
"Master... you calculated everything, but you missed a father's love..." The key inserted into the altar, and Ling Cang's ice coffin rose from the ground. In the coffin, the old man was clutching half a dragon scale, the scale reflecting his madness in searching for his daughter for one hundred thousand years:
-In the 30,000th year, he killed the dragon clan Grand Elder with his own hands, discovering Ao Zhan's human identity;
-In the 70,000th year, he broke into the Observer forbidden ground, taking back the emotion module stripped from Ling Yue;
-At the final moment, he condensed his lifelong cultivation into the "Non-Delusion Sword Seal," leaving it for his future grandson!
###**Finale: Origin Trembles**
The instant the ice coffin opened, a blood-colored edict descended from the dome of the Observer Committee. Ao Li slashed the edict to pieces, but the remnant pages pieced together into an even more terrifying truth:
Suspended on the core altar of the Origin Council were ten thousand Xiaoyaozi clones! Each clone was holding a jade box in its palm, inside which slept a Lin Jin from a different time and space.
And at the bottom of the altar, Ling Cang, covered in anti-god chains, suddenly raised his head, Ash Marrow flames burning the sky:
"Jin'er... Grandfather will... tear open this cage for you!"
In the deepest part of the Ash Sea, Ao Zhan's Burial Fire crystal core suddenly exploded, and what flew out was not star sand, but half a blood-stained Xiaoyaozi life jade pendant—on the inside was carved in small characters:
**"Chess player? Chess piece? They are all merely scavengers."** ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
