Chapter 159 Orakha Returns
The reason no life could exist on Ennoudu Plains was thanks to the actions of the Mystic Tentacles. It was unknown for how long they existed. Some clues state that they have been there since the birth of Sumatra Continent.
And since the start, they had unlocked the path to Mystic Grade. Every era on Sumatra Continent birthed a Mystic Tentacle.
After a few eras, the then Mystic Tentacle intended to create a new power for its race. In research towards that, it turned towards the power of a Parute Tree.
Even though it was rare, once a cultivator reached the peak of cultivation, they could communicate with their ancestors in the Transcendent World. Through it, the Mystic Tentacles of every era were able to know what was happening in the Transcendent World.
Upon understanding the problems that their race had been facing in the Transcendent World, one fine Mystic Tentacle researched the Parute Tree, knowing very well they were dregs produced from a Transcendent Eater.
Therefore, the Mystic Tentacle created the Ennoudu Plains and caused a Parute Tree to grow in the region, situated at the end of a long tunnel-like cave.
The goal was to birth a Transcendent Eater on Sumatra Continent and steal its power, thereby creating a new race of Mystic Tentacles that possess the abilities of a Transcendent Eater.
Of course, it wasn't a feat that could be completed within its lifespan. Even though Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts have a long lifespan, that was only 10,000 years.
For a Parute Tree to create a Parute Seed, it needed a million years. Therefore, the task was taken up by generation after generation of Mystic Tentacles.
All Parute Trees had an owner. It was because both Humans and Pranic Beasts were able to instinctively sense a lone Parute Tree. That was why the Mystic Tentacles went through great pains to refine the Ennoudu Plains era after era to ensure no life was supported on it.
They used the grey sand from the Sandy-Grey Void to further terraform the region. Things proceeded as planned. The power of a Mystic Tentacle allowed it to perceive the truth of nature. Hence, any plans they create would withstand the test of time.
Finally, it was Renduldu's turn. Upon observing the wilting Parute Tree, he determined it would complete the process only two millennia after his ascension. Therefore, their plan would have to be completed by his successor.
Unfortunately, when Renduldu used his ability to glean details about when his successor would appear, he drew a blank. That meant the next era didn't belong to the Mystic Tentacles but some other race.
It was only for an era though as Renduldu could perceive the reappearance of Mystic Tentacles after that one era.
But that missing era was the most important among them all, for it was when the Parute Seed would appear. The appearance of the Parute Seed meant half the process was done. But, it was futile if there wasn't a Mystic Tentacle to oversee it.
If another Mystic Grade Pranic Beast were to appear, it would eventually sense the Parute seed's presence. There was a stronger possibility of it consuming the Parute Seed to further its own ambitions.
Renduldu took a gamble upon seeing Gannala. He felt the Parute Seed would be helpful for her and eventually assist his race's goals. Hence, he made preparations accordingly.
Once he left for the Transcendent World and returned after two millennia, Renduldu observed the Parute Seed. When he brought the souls of the six reincarnates to Earth, he coded their data in the Parute Seed, knowing through Resha's memories that he would consume the Parute Seed in the future.
Since he planned to make the six reincarnates know the existence of the Parute Seed through Sumatra Chronicles, he knew with assurance that one of them would consume the seed.
Hence, he used his power to ensure the Parute Seed would hatch prematurely once consumed by either Resha or one of the reincarnates. Had it hatched after another million years, it would be a proper Transcendent Eater that was capable of devouring Transcendents without limits.
But since the Parute Seed hatched prematurely, it only became a Pranic Beast equivalent. Blola's Spirit Container was that of an Empyrean Tusk, a Gold Grade Pranic Beast. After consuming it, the Transcendent Eater evolved into a Gold Grade Pranic Beast variant.
And based on the order of their deaths, the reincarnates took up the slots, since their information was already coded into the Transcendent Eater.
In Blola's Secondary Nature was Orakha, the first death among the reincarnates. In the Tertiary Nature was Yennda. Thankfully, only two of them had died.
Had a third one died, there would have been no way to revive him, since Blola only had two slots. The way Memory Revival worked was through some mysterious cause and effect that Blola couldn't make sense of.
But the individual he revives would possess the same strength he had moments before death. It was basically a checkpoint for Resha and the reincarnates.
As long as Blola was alive, two of them could revive without issues and constantly target the Boar King. Incessant waves would eventually topple the tallest of mountains. That was Renduldu's actual scheme to ensure the Mammoth Clan had a future.
Blola didn't know all these details. All he was aware of was the fact that Renduldu was the reason Orakha and Yennda occupied his two revival slots.
He then focused on them, appearing in a void to stare at two fruits. The size of the fruits would vary depending on the individual's potential and accumulation, also a direct representation of their path.
"What the hell! Why is the size difference so much?" Blola was stunned as he stared at the two fruits before him. The fruit representing Yennda was human size, but the fruit representing Orakha was ten times bigger.
He couldn't understand the reason, only knowing that Orakha's potential for greatness vastly outclassed Yennda. He then relayed the thoughts to Raaha, asking who to revive first, "Chief, it'll take some time to revive them."
"Start with Orakha," Raaha said.
"Alright," Blola focused on the fruit representing Orakha in his mind space. In reality, a fruit began to grow from one of the Transcendent Eater branches, gradually growing in size.
Twenty days later, the fruit fell on the ground and hatched like an egg, revealing a naked Orakha in the same pose as a human baby in its mother's womb.
"Gah…Khahh!" Orakha coughed violently as he grabbed his jaw, confused upon realising that it was intact. He then observed his limbs, seeing that they were attached, "I'm…not dead?"
"Was that a dream…" He muttered before a piece of information surfaced in his mind, fed to him by the Transcendent Eater moments before he hatched, "I died to the Mud Vipers, huh?"
He glanced at the carnivorous tree beside him, inhaled a deep breath, and bellowed in anger, "Reeshaaaa!"
"You damn bastar…!" His overexertion shattered his ribs. As one of them pierced his heart, Orakha coughed out blood and collapsed to the ground, dead.
