This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 879: Chapter 583: The Origins of Li Pu_2

[Hehehe...]

[I know you all have many questions. Allow me to answer them one by one.]

Elder Gui Hun circled around the crowd and then slowly landed in front of them.

It turns out that the Gui Hun clan does not truly perish after reaching the end of their lives.

Instead, they transform into the Youyou clan to continue their existence.

And before this transformation, they can use special techniques for their souls to leave their bodies.

This is why, out of the four guardian beasts, only Gui Hun possesses the ability to penetrate the barrier.

So for 50 years, it’s been tasked with monitoring the internal dynamics of the barrier.

"Elder, if that’s the case..."

"Why did you let the barrier become unstable?"

Hearing this, Master Jie Jie expressed his confusion.

If Gui Hun is not dead, then what are they struggling for here?

[Have you ever heard of the saying, ’Without destruction, there is no construction?’]

Gui Hun looked at Master Jie Jie.

Without its physical body, it is equivalent to losing the ability to maintain the barrier.

This ethereal body, though nimble and light, came at a huge cost.

Its own power is less than one-tenth, requiring slow recuperation to recover.

Moreover, the ethereal body is inherently unsuitable for maintaining the barrier.

[This barrier draws enormous life force from us.]

[Not only does it imprison the sealed entity, but it also imprisons us.]

Using the opportunity of its physical demise, Gui Hun also wanted to help the other three guardian beasts escape.

Or at least attempt to help them escape.

Over the years, it has witnessed the gradual changes in the cocooning sealed entity.

Gui Hun doesn’t know what the cocoon, a fusion of the fallen angel and mermaid, will eventually hatch into.

But it has heard a theory that once the cocoon reaches a certain level of power, it will completely break free.

This is why the barrier was set with the rule triggering divine punishment at the first breakthrough.

When initially sealed, the cocoon was extremely violent.

It once amassed a massive army of skeletal beast soldiers to challenge the prison barrier.

And such attempts were not just once.

But of course, ultimately, they all ended in failure.

This is why there are vast remnants beneath this mansion’s land.

Every time the cocoon endured divine punishment, its strength would decrease significantly.

This loss of strength was accompanied by a loss of some memories.

In these 50 years, it has been in a cycle of breakthrough-divine punishment-breakthrough-divine punishment.

Loss of strength can be replenished through self-training.

But the loss of memory is most crucial for the cocoon, effectively diminishing its malice.

On this point, presumably, even Yi Ran, who initially established the barrier, did not foresee that this was the price paid by the cocoon for its undying form.

Midway through this cycle, Gui Hun discovered that the repeatedly memory-losing cocoon showed signs of a blank slate mind.

Thus it appeared, intervening in the cocoon’s growth as the "Turtle Prime Minister."

Inadvertently, it gradually developed feelings for the cocoon, coming to regard it more and more as its own.

’Without destruction, there is no construction’ gives the guardian beasts a chance to escape while also providing the cocoon a chance to break free.

So, feeling its life nearing the end, Gui Hun set up a plan.

It sent a message to call its third son from abroad, Bie San.

Following the great river, he swam all the way here.

Although Bie San appears young, he is actually over 50 years old.

In a sense, he should regard the cocoon as his brother(?) or sister(?).

To fulfill his father’s mission, Bie San also made a sacrifice, forcibly lowering some of his strength, then passed through the barrier’s loophole with his physical body.

The original plan was if Nan Guan’s establishment of Barrier version 2.0 failed, Bie San would secretly take the cocoon along the great river.

But upon learning of Li Pu’s participation, Gui Hun altered this plan.

At this moment, Gui Hun looked Li Pu up and down a few times.

[You come with me, the rest of you stay here to guard the cocoon.]

Leaving these words, it floated away by itself.

"?"

Li Pu was puzzled, looking at Master Jie Jie, then at the cocoon.

"Go ahead, Elder Gui Hun must have something important to tell you."

Master Jie Jie signaled him to catch up quickly.

"Alright."

So, a turtle and a person walked far away, stopping only when they could no longer see the battle remnants.

Gui Hun turned to face Li Pu, quietly watching him.

After a while, it finally spoke:

[Your grandfather was kind to me.]

"..."

Li Pu hadn’t expected such a plot twist.

[Let me tell you a story.]

Pausing for a moment, Gui Hun spoke.

[When the new era dawned, humans faced immense challenges.]

[A researcher mistakenly summoned a demon god.]

[This demon god was known as the Childbearing Demon God.]

"Childbearing and demon god, doesn’t seem to match much?"

[Hehehe... but it’s indeed true.]

[He was called a demon god because of his unparalleled combat power.]

[Any magical or summoned beast blessed by him could quickly and smoothly reproduce.]

[The Gui Hun clan, while having a long lifespan, naturally has a flaw in reproducing offspring.]

[To bring forth an offspring is incredibly difficult.]

[Only when the factors of time, place, and people are perfect can they hope for success.]

[Only the power of a demon god could break these limitations.]

[I... once had the fortune of receiving his blessing thrice.]

Saying this, a hint of fanaticism and reverence appeared in Gui Hun’s eyes.

[That’s why Bie San stands before you today.]

"Then Bie San must be nearly two hundred years old..."

Li Pu hadn’t anticipated this.

[Hehehe, not quite.]

[The Gui Hun clan takes over a hundred years just to hatch an egg.]

[He is merely a little over 60 years old now.]

"Elder, are you trying to say my grandfather was that researcher?"

Li Pu felt the information didn’t quite add up.

Although he wasn’t sure exactly how many summoning beasts his grandfather had.

He was sure there was no demon god among them.

Because if his grandfather truly had a demon god as a summoning beast, knowing his nature, wouldn’t he have flaunted it worldwide by now?

[Of course not. Back then, your grandfather was the assistant to that researcher.]

[It was he who introduced me to that demon god.]

[He charged me 3 million Crystal Coins as an introduction fee.]

"..."

Hearing this, Li Pu’s expression changed.

Given the value of Crystal Coins at that time, it was far more expensive than now.

Converted, it equated to around 30 million Crystal Coins today.

This was indeed a considerable sum.

Gui Hun being able to shell out such an enormous amount back then was impressive, as was the courage of his granddad to charge it.

"So, Elder, are you here to repay a favor or to get a refund?"

"My grandfather isn’t dead yet, and I haven’t received his inheritance, so his debts aren’t my responsibility."

Li Pu hurriedly distanced himself from the situation.

[Hehehehe...]

Gui Hun certainly wasn’t here for debts.

But at this moment, it was filled with doubts.

Because as the conversation progressed face-to-face, it felt something was amiss.

This lame youth looked less and less like Yi Ran but more like...

Gui Hun recalled Yi Ran mentioning before that Professor He was once devoted to researching human and summoning beast cell fusion technology.

Could it be...?

Could it be...?

Further speculation, Gui Hun dared not think or mention anymore.

After all, it might involve that venerable existence.

However, if its speculation is correct, or even close.

Wouldn’t it be more meaningful than repaying Yi Ran?

After all, it was Yi Ran who took its money, not that demon god (?).

Initially, Gui Hun had a slight hesitation about the current plan.

It hesitated to entrust the cocoon to that guy’s grandson, pondering if it was worth it.

But if Li Pu isn’t that guy’s grandson, but rather...

The cocoon would surely find an excellent home.

Therefore, at this moment, Gui Hun no longer hesitated.

[The... no, that boy,]

[Do you want to make a pact with the cocoon?]

It looked sincerely, even passionately at Li Pu.

"...Huh?"

Hearing this proposal, Li Pu was stunned.
