Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 104: The Way to Escape

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The old man had finally finished his story, and everyone had learned all about that Mage.

That Mage’s name was Gajeel. When he was cultivating the secret technique of the Yin Corpse Reincarnation, he went berserk and killed all the disciples in his cave abode. This was not all. He had even refined them into zombies, hoping that they could help him refine a physical body that could allow him to be reborn.

His method was to first cultivate himself into a ghostly cultivator, then refine his corpse and finally possess it and be reborn.

The reason why this Mage had gone berserk was that ordinary technique of Possessed Reincarnation was a forbidden technique. Very few people knew it. Not only was it very demanding on the one who cast the spell, the slightest carelessness would bring about a huge risk. Therefore, even a Mage with a high cultivation level would not dare to try it readily.

Hence, Gajeel chose this Yin Corpse Reincarnation Technique, which had a higher success rate. However, Gajeel soon discovered that although he had killed all his disciples and everyone in the cave abode, he still failed.

Furthermore, as there was a special formation here, he was unable to leave. He would only be able to leave after he completed the Yin Corpse Reincarnation.

Helpless, Gajeel set up this trap to continuously attract outsiders here, killing them and refining them into Corpse Souls to help him master the Yin Corpse Reincarnation Technique, so that he could possess and be reborn.

The zombies who had just fought with Romo and the others were the Magi who had been killed by Gajeel. Unfortunately, none of them was the physical body Gajeel wanted, so they could only become his subordinates to hunt down the Magi that came later for him.

As such, Gajeel had gone crazy for nearly 300 years and killed countless Magi, but he was still unable to successfully possess and be reborn. Then, he regained his rationality for a moment and wanted to make up for his mistakes, but his consciousness was too weak.

In order to prevent himself from making another mistake, he had no choice but to seal himself up and leave behind some information, hoping that his descendants would see it.

At the same time, the old man reminded everyone that Gajeel had not been sealed all along. Once he lost his rationality, he would wake up again and continue his crazy behavior. When he regained his rationality, he would seal himself again, and this cycle would repeat itself.

The reason Alan Heber had been able to survive was because he had come in just when Gajeel had chosen to seal himself. He had also found the information left behind by Gajeel near the stone coffin, and that was how he had learned all this.

Unfortunately, Alan Heber did not manage to find any information on how to escape, so he had no choice but to wait here.

Alan Heber knew that he had no way of forcefully breaking the formation. If he were to forcefully break the formation, the consequences would be unimaginable. Alan Heber had thought hard and was also worried that he would die before the next batch of people entered this place. Helpless, he had no choice but to make a crazy move and turn himself into a zombie.

Of course, there were differences between this zombie and the commonly-known zombies. Alan Heber’s zombie retained his own consciousness; only his physical body was a corpse. This meant that Alan Heber was a species between the living and the dead.

The fact that Romo and the others could see Alan Heber here meant that he had succeeded.

The success of this approach came as a great surprise to Alan Heber.

Since his physical body had become a zombie, it meant that Alan Heber was not afraid of the attacks from the other corpses. His consciousness had also aged very slowly because of the special formation here. This was why he was still alive today.

However, to his despair, no one had come for the past few hundred years, and it was impossible for Alan Heber to leave. On the other hand, there were signs that Gajeel had woken up. To prevent Gajeel from waking up, Alan Heber had no choice but to sit on the stone coffin to suppress his awakening.

Finally, the arrival of Romo and the others had given Alan Heber hope. He might be able to leave this place, but he was afraid that Romo and the others had not noticed him, so he had to use the divine stone to guide them here.

A great amount of information flooded the minds of Romo and the others. They had not expected this place to contain such a millennial secret.

At the same time, they found it ironic that they had originally thought that there were countless gold, silver, and precious stones hidden here. They had not expected it to be a trap.

However, everyone had to thank this old man. If it had not been for him, everyone might still be fighting the corpses endlessly.

Mike suddenly became aware of this and looked at the stone coffin. “Senior, do you mean that whatever is in this stone coffin may wake up at any moment? Wouldn’t that mean that we…”

Alan Heber nodded. “That’s right. All these years, he has not woken up because of my suppression. Once he wakes up, all the corpses will be used by him. Even I myself won’t be able to do anything about it. The consequences will be unimaginable.”

Alan Heber, “When the time comes, even if the few of us were to combine our magical powers, we might not be his match. I’m afraid that the odds are against us.”

“Senior, do you have any solutions?” Edward asked hopefully. He believed that since Senior had guided them here, there must be a way to escape.

“Of course I have a solution. This was what I had said earlier. I hope that everyone can help and work together to escape from here.” Alan Heber nodded.

When everyone heard this news, they became excited. “What is the solution? What do we need to do? If we can do it, we will definitely do our best to help you.”

“It’s very simple. What you have to do is suppress the stone coffin with me and let me leave this place temporarily. Then, we can break the formation together and get out.”

“What do we need to do?” Leonard said. “What you have mentioned about suppressing the stone coffin, we have no experience in.”

“Go to those few places separately and follow my instructions,” said Alan Heber calmly.

With Alan Heber’s instructions, the group of them quickly understood the secret to suppressing the stone coffin. They waited for Alan Heber’s next command. However, Alan Heber fell into a short silence.

Everyone was waiting. Alan Heber said, “I can assure you that none of what I have said is false. If you still don’t believe me, you can look up any information in this cave abode.” He tossed a Storage Ring into the air which was caught by Harris in the end.

“In addition, the treasures in this cave can be divided equally among everyone when we get out,” Alan Heber promised.

To really be able to break through the formation, everyone had to have complete trust. They could not harbor any more doubts about each other.

Alan Heber was worried that everyone was still suspicious of his identity, so he had continued to explain.
