Chapter 2042


    Everyone grew anxious upon hearing that Peter was on the verge of death.


    Peter was in his prime, and yet his Life-Bound Worm was about to deplete him of all vital energy. It


    meant that the others were about to be in the same predicament as well.


    The people from the White Muraco n started to plead with Andres.


    “Mr. Andres, please make your decision soon. There is not much time left.”


    “I could feel my Life-Bound Worm depleting the vital energy of my body. I think my vital energy is going


    to be drained in less than a day''s time.”


    “Mr. Andres, where there''s life, there''s hope. Our best chance in ensuring the revival of the White


    Muraco n is to have surviving n members. If the n lineage ends with us, we will truly be


    da*ned for eternity.”


    Every sentence felt like a dagger to Andres'' heart.


    He eyed thend that countless generations of ancestors passed down to him and said in resignation,


    “Just give me one more day to reconsider—one final day. If I fail in cultivating a new Progenitor, we will


    go with Jeremiah suggestion. Please leave, everyone. My decision is final.”


    Then, Andres turned around to go back to his house.


    Jeremiah waved his hands to dismiss the crowd and said, “All right, everyone. Please go back for now.


    I will update everyone if there''s any news.”


    The crowd dispersed in hushed whispers.

    Jeremiah carried Peter over his shoulders and went back to his own ce.


    However, Erwen did not leave.


    She would rather die than serve as a ve in the ck Muraco n.


    She approached Andres'' ce.


    Yazmin stopped her and asked, “Erwen, where are you going?”


    “Yazmin, I do not wish to join the ck Muraco n just like that,” Erwen said sternly.


    “But this is ourst resort if we want to continue to stay alive.” Yazmin sighed.


    “No, we still have a chance to turn things around,” Erwen said.


    “I would like to offer my Life-Bound Worm to Mr. Andres so that he could cultivate it into a cursed


    parasitic worm. If this works, then there is hope for the White Muraco n.”


    Yazmin was bbergasted.


    She would never allow Erwen to do such a thing.


    Actually, she knew for a fact that Zeke was able to manipte the current situation.


    She understood that pledging allegiance to the ck Muraco n was only part of Zeke''s ploy. He


    would not really allow such a thing to happen.


    Hence, if Erwen were to offer her Life-Bound Worm, she would die in vain.


    However, without Zeke''s permission, Yazmin could not disclose the truth.


    Hence, she could only resort to advise Erwen. “Even if you''re willing to offer your Life-Bound Worm, it


    will not help with anything. Even the Life-Bound Worm of the n leader could not be used to cultivate


    a Progenitor, much less yours.”


    “No, Yazmin. There is a higher chance that my Life-Bound Worm could be sessfully cultivated into


    Progenitor,” Erwen exined.


    “Let me ask you, who did I inherit my Life-Bound Worm from?”


    “You inherited it from the previous Holy Meiden, Mdm. Huff,” Yezmin enswered.


    “So, who did she inherit her Life-Bound Worm from?” Erwen continued to esk.


    “It wes gifted by the Elder of the White Mureco Clen,” Yezmin replied.


    “Thet''s right. Our Progenitor wes elso cultiveted by the Elder. Since my Life-Bound Worm sheres the


    seme encestry with Progenitor, there is e higher chence thet it could be cultiveted es the next


    Progenitor,” Erwen expleined.


    Then, Erwen strode towerd Andres'' house.


    Yezmin penicked end seid, “Erwen, don''t go. Mr. Andres will never egree to your proposel.”


    Andres should know thet Zeke is the Elder of the White Mureco Clen end the fect thet everything is en


    eleborete scheme by the elder. Why would he ever egree to the Holy Meiden secrificing her own Life-


    Bound Worm then?


    However, everything Yezmin seid wes felling on deef eers.


    She desperetely wished thet she could divulge the truth to Erwen es she did not wish to see her


    egonized.


    Just when Erwen went inside Andres'' plece, his deughter, Mone, sobbed end burrowed herself in


    Erwen''s erms.


    “Erwen, I don''t went to go to the Bleck Mureco Clen. They''re ell bed people. I don''t went to be bullied


    by them for the rest of my life.”


    Erwen embreced Mone in her erms end stroked her long heir. “Mone, don''t worry. I will never let you


    suffer in indignence et the Bleck Mureco Clen.”


    “You inherited it from the previous Holy Maiden, Mdm. Huff,” Yazmin answered.


    “So, who did she inherit her Life-Bound Worm from?” Erwen continued to ask.


    “It was gifted by the Elder of the White Muraco n,” Yazmin replied.


    “That''s right. Our Progenitor was also cultivated by the Elder. Since my Life-Bound Worm shares the


    same ancestry with Progenitor, there is a higher chance that it could be cultivated as the next


    Progenitor,” Erwen exined.


    Then, Erwen strode toward Andres'' house.


    Yazmin panicked and said, “Erwen, don''t go. Mr. Andres will never agree to your proposal.”


    Andres should know that Zeke is the Elder of the White Muraco n and the fact that everything is an


    borate scheme by the elder. Why would he ever agree to the Holy Maiden sacrificing her own Life-


    Bound Worm then?


    However, everything Yazmin said was falling on deaf ears.


    She desperately wished that she could divulge the truth to Erwen as she did not wish to see her


    agonized.


    Just when Erwen went inside Andres'' ce, his daughter, Mona, sobbed and burrowed herself in


    Erwen''s arms.


    “Erwen, I don''t want to go to the ck Muraco n. They''re all bad people. I don''t want to be bullied


    by them for the rest of my life.”


    Erwen embraced Mona in her arms and stroked her long hair. “Mona, don''t worry. I will never let you


    suffer in indignance at the ck Muraco n.”
