Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 914: Chapter 44: The Horn of Counterattack (Part 2)

That powerful figure hid a large number of Star Rhinoceros Stones plundered from Beast Star at various locations on Earth.

And, considering safety, established multiple academies on Earth similar to the Huake Institute to train different cultivators.

To prevent those different cultivators from eventually finding the rhinestones and using Earth to rebel against him, he sealed some alien creatures from Beast Star at various locations.

Those Beast Star creatures included Nascent Soul carriers and the mutated jellyfish Xiao Xian encountered in Hawaii after falling into the water.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am an Earthling, and so is Ziang. All I know is that you’ve destroyed my last hope as well. I hate you! You understand nothing about love," Aisha despaired. She hated Celeste; her research center had been destroyed, and all the various samples and embryos inside had been ruined. In the past two years, everything she had was gone.

"I don’t understand love, Aisha, my dear daughter; anyone else in this world can say that, but not one person. If I don’t understand love, how could I have you? If I didn’t understand love, how could I take the risk of being discovered by the group of different cultivators in the Cangqiong Palace, enter the Cangqiong Palace, and risk my life to participate in the trials just to obtain a condition? Initially, I could have discovered the rhinestone resources on Earth much earlier." Celeste roared, crushing the cup in her hand.

’What condition? Is it for your Roster Consortium to remain ever prosperous, or for every man who sees your face to be infatuated?’ Aisha harbored jealousy and hatred. Her mother, her incomparably beautiful mother, had a halo that cast the largest shadow over her all these years.

The reason she liked Zhou Ziang was that he was the only one who could completely ignore Celeste’s beauty and allure. Even though he was indifferent and unfeeling toward her, he was also the only one who did not approach her with the purpose of seeing her as the future heir of the Roster Consortium.

But he is now dead, and even the last chance to clone someone similar to him was cut off by her mother, who claimed to love her.

Aisha’s words did not further anger Celeste. Instead, she calmed down, "Everyone who enters the Cangqiong Palace will earn a wish upon completing the trials. No matter how reasonable or unreasonable that wish is, even if you want to rule an entire galaxy, as long as it is within the capabilities of the beings in the Cangqiong Palace, those humans refer to as gods, you can achieve it."

Celeste’s words reignited Aisha’s hope. But soon, the hope in her eyes was extinguished again; she nervously repeated, "You’re deceiving me. How could such a thing be possible? A wish that can bring someone back to life? I don’t believe it; this must be an excuse you fabricated to make me participate in the upcoming Cangqiong Palace trials. You think you can just brush it off like that."

"Heh, hearing such words from my daughter’s mouth truly saddens me. When has mother ever deceived you? So what if one can come back to life, you can even recreate a Zhou Ziang who only loves you. Don’t believe it? Then let me tell you, over sixty years ago, my wish." In Celeste’s eyes, there appeared a rare hint of fear; she almost failed, and even she would fail the trial.

"My wish was to bring my daughter back to life, a daughter who was completely identical to mine." Celeste looked at Aisha.

Aisha was stunned—daughter, come back to life. She incredulously stepped back a few steps, hugging her arms tightly, "You mean to say, I have already died, and I’m a dead person?"

"I don’t know what you are either; I only know that my guide brought an infant before me. She has blue eyes like yours, curly blonde hair, the same beautiful eyes, and a delicate nose. She’s almost identical to me and to him." Celeste lovingly smiled, gently caressing Aisha’s face.

Her daughter carries the bloodline of the Beast Star.

"I... none of this matters anymore. I’ve decided to participate in the Cangqiong Palace selection." Aisha shook off her hand, quickly leaving Celeste’s office.

Celeste sat by the window, lost in thought.

Her thoughts didn’t last long before they were abruptly interrupted.

An urgent call from Australia was connected.

"Lady Serlin, there’s been some issue with our acquisition of the coal mine in Australia," said a manager of the Roster family responsible for mining operations in Australia.

Recently, Celeste had just identified possible rhinestone deposits beneath a small coal mine. So she immediately allocated local company personnel to purchase that small coal mine.

"What issue is it? Whether it’s funding or government-related, it must be resolved at all costs," Celeste, in the business world, was ruthless and could instantly crush opponents with money and an iron fist.

"It’s more troublesome than both; the small coal mine was acquired by someone yesterday, and we’re too late," After hearing this news, Celeste was displeased, "Have you identified who they are?"

"It’s not fully clear yet; we only know they’re Chinese. I need to go there and get more details," After hanging up the phone, Celeste suddenly felt uneasy, Chinese? Could it be that the Wang family had also discovered the secret of the rhinestone in the last event?

Somewhere in the Australian central desert, a Chinese girl in sportswear was looking ahead through binoculars. Her sharp ear-length short hair and squinted eyes didn’t match her young face. "Xiao Xian was right; there are indeed many rhinestones in this area. We need to excavate them all in these few days. It’s time to launch a counterattack; Roster, Xu Family, Wang Family, none of them can be left behind."
