"Elder Ancestor! Elder Ancestor! Please save us!"
Upon hearing these words, Ye Die Die was taken aback.
"Are they calling me?"
She sensed it again, and the voice was indeed calling out to her.
"That's right, but why are they calling me Elder Ancestor? Could it be..."
Ye Die Die activated her Butterfly Mirage Art and seemed to have figured something out.
"Could it be that the one calling me is my own butterfly race? That's right, I created a new cultivation method for the Butterfly Mirage, so I became their Elder Ancestor?"
With this thought in mind, Ye Die Die decided to investigate. After all, the body she was reincarnated into belonged to the butterfly race, and she couldn't just stand idly by as her race faced extinction.
Thinking this, she got up and focused on the source of the call. It came from the outskirts of the Stardust Forest, so she set off in that direction.
A Yin noticed that Ye Die Die was heading towards the chaotic area and felt a bit worried, but there was nothing she could do. As a plant-type soul beast, she was not good at physical activities and could only pray for her safety in her heart.
"The chaotic area shouldn't have any powerful soul beasts. Sister Die will be fine."
At this moment, Ye Die Die activated her soul skill, Illusionary Disguise, and released her spiritual power to sense the direction of the call. She flew at her fastest speed toward the destination.
With her spiritual power of fifty thousand years released, not a single soul beast felt the presence of a beautiful butterfly flying above their heads.
This was the first time Ye Die Die had exerted her full effort in flying. After living among the Blue Silver Grass for thousands of years, she had never had the time to practice her flying speed.
"Thousands of years have passed, and this White-eyed Demon Tiger hasn't changed at all."
As Ye Die Die flew over the White-eyed Demon Tiger's head, it didn't sense anything amiss.
As Ye Die Die continued to cultivate using the Butterfly Mirage Art, she could feel the call getting closer and clearer. The closer she got, the more she could hear it.
Now, whenever she activated the Butterfly Mirage Art, she didn't need to gather her spiritual power. She could hear it instantly.
With her utmost effort in flying, she traversed the entire chaotic area in just one day.
"Let me sense the spiritual fluctuations... Over there, isn't that the territory of the Blue Silver Grass?"
After sensing it briefly, Ye Die Die had a clear idea and flew towards the territory of the Blue Silver Grass on the outskirts, based on her memory.
"This?"
In no time, she arrived at her destination and was momentarily stunned.
Vines made of Blue Silver Grass surrounded and enveloped the creatures inside, while several human soul masters were attacking the vine composed of Blue Silver Grass.
These human soul masters revealed their martial souls and soul rings, with the strongest among them being a three-ringed high-level soul master.
Most of the martial souls among these soul masters were butterfly martial souls, while some were spirit-type martial souls.
Ye Die Die could sense that the Mirage Butterfly calling out to her was among them.
At a glance, it was evident that these soul masters were preparing to hunt down the Mirage Butterfly to obtain soul rings. However, for some reason, they had intruded into the territory of the Blue Silver Grass, which was also protecting them.
This scene had been imprinted in Ye Die Die's inherited memories, and now she witnessed it firsthand. Anger rose from her subconscious.
Just as these soul masters continued their assault on the defensive formation composed of Blue Silver Grass, aiming to break through and hunt down the Mirage Butterfly for their soul rings,
A figure appeared in the sky, the Mirage Butterfly they had long yearned for. When the human soul masters saw this figure, they shifted their targets and launched attacks towards the figure in the sky.
Suddenly, this figure emitted a terrifying aura, causing them to panic.
"This... This is a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"
"Run for your lives!!!"
They had never witnessed such a formidable aura before. As great soul masters, the most powerful opponents they had encountered were only Soul Masters, which paled in comparison to this figure.
After revealing her figure, Ye Die Die did not launch an attack. Instead, she showed her aura in response to their aggression.
Then, her spiritual power enveloped the surroundings, and her immense spiritual power spread throughout the area.
All the soul beasts and soul masters on the outskirts of the Stardust Forest, regardless of what they were doing, prostrated on the ground, trembling.
The mere dispersion of Ye Die Die's spiritual power caused such a tremendous uproar. She then concentrated her spiritual power on these soul masters.
"Boom... Boom..."
These soul masters witnessed their companions' bodies exploding one after another, turning into powder without leaving a drop of blood behind.
As they imagined themselves becoming victims of the same fate, fear overwhelmed them, and one by one, they knelt down, praying to the sky.
However, Ye Die Die did not spare them. The figures disappeared one by one.
After the last soul master hunting down the Mirage Butterfly vanished, Ye Die Die retracted her spiritual power.
Once Ye Die Die withdrew her spiritual power, all the soul masters in the outskirts of the Stardust Forest fled towards the forest's exterior. The soul beasts stayed hidden in their habitats, afraid to move around freely.
In the following years, human soul masters appeared less frequently, and battles among soul beasts also decreased.
After retracting her spiritual power, Ye Die Die flew towards the territory of the Blue Silver Grass.
Most of the Blue Silver Grass, witnessing the arrival of this terrifying soul beast, flew towards their own territory without daring to put up any defense.
Only a small portion of the Blue Silver Grass, upon seeing Ye Die Die, communicated through consciousness.
"Butterfly Fairy!"
Ye Die Die responded to their calls and flew towards the familiar aura.
Butterfly figures appeared before her eyes, but these butterflies were heavily injured.
"Ancestor!"
"Ancestor!"
...
Upon seeing Ye Die Die's figure, these butterflies flew towards her, even if their injuries were severe, they wanted to be by her side.
Using her spiritual power, Ye Die Die helped them stabilize their injuries, stopping the bleeding. However, she didn't possess the soul skill for healing.
Suddenly, she remembered when A Yin returned to the Chaos Region and found the seed of the former Blue Silver King. At that time, she had gained a similar ability, akin to a soul skill.
It wasn't a soul skill per se, but like the control of Ye Die Die's spiritual power, it had a certain effect.
Realizing this, Ye Die Die enveloped these Mirage Butterflies with her spiritual power and informed the Blue Silver Grass that stayed behind. Then, she flew towards the inner area.
These Mirage Butterflies sensed their ancestor and allowed her to wrap them in her spiritual power without resistance.
After reaching the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, Ye Die Die's soul skill had become enhanced. Disguising these Mirage Butterflies with her soul skill was no problem.
Soon, one day later, Ye Die Die arrived at the inner region of the Stardust Forest. A Yin sensed that familiar spiritual power and knew that her older sister had returned, bringing a sense of relief to her heart.
"Yin, please take a look and see if you can help with the healing?" Ye Die Die's spiritual power transmitted to A Yin even before she arrived.
As Ye Die Die entered the range of the Blue Silver Grass, she dispelled the camouflage of her soul skill and did her best to sustain the lives of these Mirage Butterflies.
After a day, the Mirage Butterflies' injuries had become severe, but thanks to Ye Die Die's continuous spiritual power support, their condition was not worsening.
