--- Chapter 233 ---
Baek Ain was satisfied with his haul in the Heaven Genesis World.
And he hasn't even gotten to the main menu yet, which is Zhang Hansen's treasure vault.
He felt connected to the whole Heavenly Fire Prison Realm and observed everything like a grain of sand. Everything that happened inside couldn't escape his senses.
Moreover, Baek Ain also learns many Genesis Runes Zhang Hansen left behind in the secret realm. Some Genesis Runes are even rarer than any precious gems.
Baek Ain wanted to teleport Chu Ming and others to the throne room but remembered Zhang Hansen was letting them into the treasure vault to choose one treasure.
"Well, let's find them there." Baek Ain said, disappearing from the throne room. He was using Saint Race's Break Space with Spatial Manipulation, which allowed him to teleport to the treasure vault.
...
Arrived at the treasure vault, Baek Ain's eyes lit up immediately.
A grand yet long hallway greeted Baek Ain, and on each side of the wall was a storage room with a nameplate above. Zhang Hansen must have spent time gathering and sorting these treasures.
On top of that, these treasures are 'meticulously' sealed.
Only those with the Fire Emperor's seal could take one treasure, and Baek Ain has no such limitation.
"Y-Your Highness!" A startled voice welcomed Baek Ain.
Baek Ain glanced to the right and saw a black-haired young woman in a low-cut purple martial dress. Her appearance is alright, but her aura is something else.
"What was your name again?" Baek Ain asked.
After all, he only remembered Chu Ming and Jing Nuyan's names.
Of course, Baek Ain recognized the faces of Chu Ming's teammates, but that's it.
The young woman bends over slightly, "This one's name is Situ Yanyu, and my family mainly focuses on creating artifacts."
'I didn't ask for your family's details.' Baek Ain was speechless.
But then Baek Ain noticed the area Situ Yanyu visited was the Artifact-making hall. The nameplate is 'boldly' placed atop the entrance.
"What did you get?" Baek Ain questioned calmly.
Situ Yanyu was nervous, "Um, It's the Thousand Revolution Technique, a refining technique that has long gone outside. I didn't expect to find it here."
"Let me see."
"H-Here, Your Highness."
Baek Ain picked a jade token from Situ Yanyu's hand and frowned as it wasn't as good as his Ancient Refining Technique. He had to admit some points are reasonable for artifact making, though.
After modifying some parts, Baek Ain tossed the jade token back to Situ Yanyu.
"Check it out."
Situ Yanyu used his Divine Soul to sense the jade token and was shocked because it wasn't the Thousand Revolution Technique anymore. It had turned into a brand-new refining technique.
"This is..."
"Your Highness, this is too precious." She said weakly. This technique alone could become the backbone of the Situ Clan.
Baek Ain waved his hand casually, "Take it. I have an important mission for you and your teammates after this."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Situ Yanyu felt touched in her heart. When they first met Baek Ain, they laughed at him.
But now, he actually gave her such a gift.
Baek Ain and Situ Yanyu continued through the hallway and met other members of Chu Ming's teams. Like Situ Yanyu, they also chose rare techniques, which Baek Ain later elevated to a higher level.
At some point, their respect for Baek Ain has grown into admiration and loyalty.
"Nuyan?" Baek Ain saw the young woman in a pink robe sitting on the edge of a library.
Jing Nuyan was absorbed by the jade token in her hand and awakened by Baek Ain's voice.
"Y-Your Highness! What are you doing here?"
Baek Ain smiled, "Why shouldn't I be here? This whole treasure vault is mine."
"I have inherited Fire Roc Saint's inheritance, including the vault."
Jing Nuyan blushed in embarrassment. She wished she could hide in a hole or something.
Of course, Baek Ain could be here anytime. This place is his!
Baek Ain shook his head and stretched his hand, "Give me that technique, let me check it."
"Yes, Sister Nuyan, do it. Your Highness will make the technique many times better." Situ Yanyu and four other members said.
They encouraged Jing Nuyan to do so because they had experienced it once.
Jing Nuyan was confused by their words but still handed the jade token to Baek Ain anyway. Baek Ain annualized the content and frowned slightly because Jing Nuyan surprisingly chose Assassination Art.
"Are you looking for revenge?" Baek Ain blurted, shocking Jing Nuyan as she nodded her head lightly.
"I had my reason..." Jing Nuyan weakly replied.
Situ Yanyu and the others knew Jing Nuyan's background. They sighed because she actually endured many hardships in her life.
Baek Ain thought about something and modified the Assassination Art inside the jade token before handing it to Jing Nuyan. He patted her shoulder, "Be careful."
They continued deep into the treasure vault and saw Chu Ming meditating under another statue shaped like older Zhang Hansen wielding a fiery bronze spear.
Chu Ming sensed the steps and opened his eyes, sighing as if he didn't have a chance.
"Are you trying to get Fire Roc Saint's spear technique?" Baek Ain smiled at Chu Ming.
Chu Ming put on a weak expression, "Well, getting such a technique is impossible for me, Your Highness."
"I'm just trying to learn some spear technique insights before integrating into my Chu Clan's martial arts."
"However, I was overestimating my own ability."
"Everyone is different." Baek Ain chuckled at him.
"You're not Fire Roc Saint."
"I've already given the rest of your teammates a lukewarm gift."
"You shouldn't reject this."
Baek Ain tapped Chu Ming's forehead gently and sent a simplified version of the Meteor Spear Technique, making the latter gasp in disbelief.
"Y-Your Highness, you shouldn't be doing this!" Chu Ming's eyes widened at Baek Ain.
Baek Ain shrugged, "Fire Roc Saint gives it to me. It's mine, and I can freely share it with anyone I'm close to."
Chu Ming and his teammates were speechless.
Aren't you too casual about your own inheritance?
Unknown to them, Baek Ain didn't think much about those rare techniques they sought after. Some might catch his attention, but they are somewhat less profound than the techniques he comprehended in the one hundred reincarnations.
"Okay, we don't have much time." Baek Ain stared at them solemnly.
"My time here is short."
"In an hour or two... I will return to my world."
"Your world?" Chu Ming was confused.
Baek Ain nodded, "Yes, my world. I'm actually from the lower plane, the same plane that Fire Roc Saint originated from."
"And I'm currently at war with a powerful group there."
"Then, bring us, Your Highness! We can be helpful to you!" Jing Nuyan said with determination.
Baek Ain shook his head gently and sighed, "No."
"I have another mission for you guys."
"Chu Ming."
"Jing Nuyan."
"Situ Yanyu."
"Feng Xuan."
"Rong Jie."
"Chen Bing."
"Kun Lei."
"Seven of you have been assisting me in this trial." Baek Ain said with all seriousness. "I've been thinking of building my own power in the Heaven Genesis World and wish to make you all my vassals."
"Do you accept?"
Chu Ming and others were dumbfounded, but blood immediately rushed to their heads.
"Yes! We'd love to, Your Highness!"
Bek Ain's lips curved, "Then, I shall bestow you my old power and true name."
"My name is Baek Ain, and I gifted you the power of my flesh."
[Emperor of Parasites!]
Baek Ain's fingers squirmed and shot seven bullets toward Chu Ming and others' foreheads, granting them the power of parasites and their uniqueness.
Surprisingly, Baek Ain didn't make the parasites take over Chu Ming and others' bodies. He has become attached to them and even trusts their characters.
After a while, Chu Ming and others gasped.
They felt their bodies overflowing with powers.
And with just a thought, a suit of armor covered their bodies, enhancing their strength even further.
'Is this the power of Your Highness Baek Ain?' They thought simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Baek Ain monitored them keenly. He sighed in relief because the parasites and combat suits didn't react badly against the Heaven Genesis World's natives.
Baek Ain gave them an endearing gaze, "Okay, listen up."
"From now on, I will leave the developing plan to you guys."
"However, it might take a while for me to return, so listen well."
Chu Ming and others attentively listened to Baek Ain's plan and were stunned by his vision.
They didn't know Baek Ain's plan was the same one he used in the Dou Qi Plane.
[Host, the time limit...] Alicia warned.
Baek Ain hurriedly created a Fire Shadow's envoys, acting as his clone in the Heaven Genesis World.
"I will leave my clone and true parasites in the Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm to monitor it."
"You and your descendant may freely explore the secret realm and use the resources alongside the Blazing Roc Royalty and Blazing Roc Palace."
"Take my token and show it to them. It has the power of Zhang Hansen's spear intent and my spear-blade intent..."
Baek Ain smiled, "Remember, the One Hundred Years' Promise..."
"Lay low, by then..."
"Wait until my return."
After saying that, Baek Ain could see some tears on Chu Ming and others' faces. He waved his hand at them and vanished from the treasure vault.
WOOSH!
Chu Ming wiped his tears and said, "WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN, YOUR HIGHNESS!"
"I, CHU MING, SWORE WITH MY LIFE!"
"ME TOO, I SWORE WITH MY LIFE!" The rest followed. They are emotional.
"In one hundred years-! No, less than that!"
"We will make the name of Behemoth Paradise famous in the Heaven Genesis World!"
