novelTorch Dragon's Prophecy
| ← Ch.384 | Ch.386 → |
The strange singing continued beside her ears.
"Saya... Saya..."
"My lovely daughter..."
"My kind daughter..."
Ran Bing raised her head. In the sandstorm, her small face was still fair and delicate.
But...
Her eyes had changed.
Her vertical pupils were like snakes, like gems, crystal clear!
There was even a faint light in the sandstorm.
The long spear in her hand was like a vine, entangling with her body.
The spirit in the spear had already awakened.
It was wriggling in her flesh.
It was a monster!
A monster that devoured the world!
If it wasn't for Ran Bing, who had suppressed it with her strong will, this thing had probably eaten Ran Bing.
And it was controlling her body, becoming the biggest disaster in this world.
A monarch level scarlet beast, in front of the awakened spear spirit, was simply a harmless little white rabbit!
Because this thing... could eat anything!
It was so hungry that it was willing to swallow even sand.
Right now, the spear spirit was howling in her flesh and blood.
Inexplicable thoughts popped up one by one in her mind as she howled.
And the world in her eyes became absurd.
The rotten land, the sky with pus flowing...
This planet had already withered, rotted, and was beyond saving.
Ran Bing took a deep breath and chased away these crazy thoughts.
She could not go crazy yet!
She firmly grabbed the handle of the rifle in her hand, which had become increasingly uneasy.
"Behave yourself!" She warned coldly, "Or else..."
"I'll eat you!" Boiling killing intent rose from Ran Bing's body.
Tiny eyeballs looked back from her reflection on the ground.
The rifle in her hand instantly quieted down and became obedient.
Because...
Its owner had been continuously killing and devouring the monsters in the wilderness over the past few days.
At the same time, she had also swept through a few strongholds of the umbrella.
This allowed her to gain the favor of a great being while becoming stronger.
Even if it was just a small chance, the favor of that being fell on this mortal was enough to make her possess some of the characteristics of the old days.
Therefore, when the current human was ruthless, she could really eat the spear spirit.
Under the suppression of the restless spear spirit, Ran Bing resolutely walked forward.
She was almost able to find the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation hidden in the wasteland and dust.
Kill them!
Kill them all!
This was Ran Bing's greatest wish right now.
...
In the lonely wilderness.
Little Man had already traveled hundreds of miles.
She did not encounter any living creatures along the way, not even Shura Queen or heavenly devil.
The desert-like land had nothing except for the withered grass that occasionally peeked out of the ground.
If it were not for the fact that every time she raised her head, Little Man would be able to see the huge hole in the eastern sky where the sun rose.
She even thought that she had been taken away from her world by the heavenly ghost called Broken Wings.
Thinking of Broken Wings, Little Man recalled the events of these days.
That day, she used the Terrified Demon Subduing Ghost Book to summon the Heavenly Ghost Broken Wings to escape from the ruins of Qingyang Town.
The journey of the Heavenly Ghost was as fast as lightning without a trace.
It flew over the mountains and rivers and brought her here.
This unfamiliar and lifeless place.
The time limit for the summoning of Broken Wings was up and he was driven out of this world.
Then, Little Man began to trudge alone in this wilderness.
She kept walking until today, Little Man didn't see any trace of life.
If it weren't for the fact that she had already completed the foundation establishment, she was just one step away from cultivating the sword elixer and achieving the path golden elixer.
Just the lack of food and water was enough to make her starve, freeze, and thirst to death in this wilderness.
After walking in this wilderness for about six or seven days, Little Man finally saw something appear on the horizon.
"A ruin?" She looked at the mark that appeared in her sight from afar.
On the ground, there were many things that looked like stone pillars that were upside down.
She slowly approached and saw that it was indeed a ruin.
However...
There was no life in this ruin either.
She walked into the empty ruin. There were only the collapsed stone pillars and the ruins that were buried by the wind and sand.
She looked at a collapsed stone pillar.
The stone pillar was covered with a thick layer of sand and dust. Its surface was already buried in the sand.
Little Man pulled out her sword and scraped away the sand that was as hard as stone on the surface of the stone pillars.
The thing carved on the stone pillars appeared in front of her eyes.
It was a relief sculpture!
The stone pillars were carved with a group of people holding some kind of sacrifice.
Little Man's eyes slowly lit up as she looked at it.
There were people and demons on the relief sculptures.
Moreover, their attire was different from what Little Man knew.
However, it was similar to an image that Little Man had seen before.
It was the human and demon that Torch Dragon brought with him when he descended after creating the world.
The human and demon that Torch Dragon brought with him from the other world at the beginning of the world.
Little Man's ancestors!
When they first arrived in this world, they seemed to be wearing similar clothes and hats.
"So..." Little Man muttered to herself, "This is the first city that the ancestors built?"
"But..." She looked around, "Why did it survive until now? Why did it appear in such a place?"
She didn't know.
However, Little Man knew that there must be a secret here and it was a big secret!
It might even explain the origin of Torch Dragon and the origin of the monsters and people in the world.
Therefore, she immediately began to clean up the ruins.
...
After returning home, Ling Ping'an opened the door and put his cat down.
He immediately sat down on the counter with lingering fear in his heart.
"This world is too scary!" He said.
Meow!
Bastet jumped onto the counter and agreed with his master's opinion.
Ling Ping'an looked at his cat and said, "So... It was right that I chose to be a rice worm!"
It was so dangerous outside!
Ling Ping'an recalled the woman who seemed to be a 'Beauty' in the outside world.
The dress she was wearing was obviously very expensive.
She was wearing one of the few luxury watches Ling Ping'an recognized: heavenly work piece!
Although he didn't know which series it was from, no matter which series it was, the heavenly work watch was worth at least one million Yuan.
And that rich lady was calling him 'master', as if he had already become the protagonist of the Long Aotian style that he had written before.
But then, after being rejected by him, that woman's expression immediately changed.
Ling Ping'an recalled at this moment and naturally knew that he had either encountered a prank or a trap.
In short, nothing good was going to happen.
The difference was whether she wanted to tease him or toy him.
"These guys..." The young bookstore owner shook his head, "They are really... crazy!"
He was the only one who had face blindness and was very vigilant.
If it were anyone else, they would have fallen for these guys' tricks.
"Sigh..." He shook his head, "Let's play some games and relax!"
Therefore, he picked up his phone and charged into Canyon.
To him, everything could be resolved through games.
...
From morning to night, Little Man finally cleared out the ruins.
She found that this was a temple.
And the God Master who was being worshiped here was the creator of the world, Torch Dragon!
Although the statue of Torch Dragon was broken, one could roughly see its outline.
It was indeed the image that Little Man had seen before.
It had a vast appearance, with a dragon body and a human head.
However, Little Man was not paying attention to Torch Dragon.
Instead, she was paying attention to the murals and relief sculptures that surrounded Torch Dragon.
Although these broken murals and relief sculptures were not very coherent, they still pieced together a prehistoric mythical grade era for Little Man.
The story of the place where humans and demons came before the creation of the world.
According to the murals, in that world, humans and gods coexisted and immortals and demons coexisted.
The mountains and seas were continuous and countless ghosts, gods, immortals and demons coexisted in harmony.
Powerful gods and humans, immortals, and demons coexisted in the land.
Each protected a living creature.
All existences once listened to a common king.
He was the human emperor and also the celestial emperor.
He was born according to the times and had great authority.
He could punish ghosts and gods, kill immortals and devils.
He could also control feng shui and he could even control heaven's rules but he could do this because of two things.
These two things were reflected in the murals.
One was the immortal jade. The first human emperor took the jade honor of the immortal mountain and threw it into the shrub of the immortal mountain.
It was nourished by the five Qi and irrigated by the five virtues. After 55 years, it produced the five-colored divine jade.
This item was magical. Whether it was the ghosts, gods, immortals, or demons in the world, all of them were attracted to it.
There were all kinds of magical uses for it.
However, only the human emperor could cultivate and nurture it.
Secondly, the human emperor himself had supreme authority.
Cutting ghosts, demoting immortals and the human emperor's orders were the laws of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately...
An extremely huge change happened in the middle.
This change was missing in the murals and reliefs.
But one could be sure...
That world had once been extremely prosperous and powerful.
It had experienced an indescribable and terrifying war.
The blood of humans, gods, ghosts, and immortals flowed across the heaven and earth.
And the world was smashed into pieces.
A divine mountains collapsed and immortal rivers broke.
The dead immortals and gods refused to rest for a long time.
Their curses and resentments filled the world, tearing apart yin and yang, and disturbing the five Qi.
People's hearts were in chaos and their morals did not exist.
The divine tree that was once irrigated by the five Qi and nourished by the five virtues was now twisted and pitch-black, emitting a coquettish black aura.
What grew on it was no longer an immortal jade that was holy, bright, and virtuous.
Instead, it was a demonic fruit that flowed pus and left poison, cursing all living beings.
Little Man looked at the story told by these relief sculptures and murals.
Little Man lowered her head.
That was because she also found traces of the heavenly ghost and Shura Queen.
The immortal gods and dead spirits that swallowed the demonic fruit returned to their bodies that had been torn apart and cursed.
They stood up and walked in all directions.
A new war was born because of this.
Torch Dragon's divine mountain was shattered in this terrible war!
In the end, Torch Dragon could only carry the divine mountain and bring the remnant people through the barriers, shattering the void and escaping to this place.
"But..." Little Man looked at a broken mural under the statue of Torch Dragon and frowned, "What does this painting mean?"
"Is it a prophecy?" She thought.
Only about two-thirds of the mural she saw was complete, and many of these two-thirds were blurry.
Even so, the murals looked extremely strange.
It described a completely shattered world.
Countless fragments of the divine and immortal mountains.
They were flying to a certain place.
That place seemed to have azure seas, mountains and rivers.
It was strange because these fragments of the divine and immortal mountains were moving around that world at high speed in an extremely strange state in the murals.
In this state, the divine and immortal mountains and that world seemed to be both illusory and real.
They were always in different situations.
Unfortunately, many parts were missing and there were still many key parts that were blurry.
However, Little Man could still see something from it.
"Torch Dragon's world will eventually fuse with that world?" Little Man thought.
"This is probably the future that Torch Dragon saw!"
"But..."
"What does Torch Dragon want to say by leaving this mural behind?"
Little Man thought.
She understood that if this mural was left behind by Torch Dragon...
Then Torch Dragon would definitely be hinting at the future of this world that he created and the survivors of this world.
"That's right!" Little Man looked at the mural.
"In the depths of my world, there is the remains of the sacred mountain of Torch Dragon..."
"If the prophecy is true..."
She raised her head and looked at the hole in the sky.
"Then..." Little Man's eyes flashed with some color."My world... is probably moving towards that world at a high speed..."
"Sooner or later, the two worlds will collide!"
This was the predetermined future.
This was because Torch Dragon's divine mountain was in the core of the world.
With this thought in mind, Little Man could not careless.
She raised her sword and specks of soul fire flickered on the blade.
"A single burning fire can burn all things, but where is the fire if all things die? The path of a breath can bury all things, so where is the path if all things die?" An ancient incantation was read out by Little Man.
"Urgent as a command!"
"In the name of Lord Xuan, I call upon you!"
A cold wind blew in the ruins as ghosts wailed and wolves howled.
The soul fire turned into a weird talisman.
Black and stinky mud reappeared on the ground.
Two rotting yin-yang fish chased each other and tore at each other.
The deformed body of the heavenly ghost crawled out.
"Heavenly Ghost Broken Wings!" It crawled out and looked at Little Man. It bent down and said, "I await your order!"
"Heavenly Ghost!" Little man asked, "Do you know that my world is still? Or is it moving?"
A hint of surprise appeared in the Heavenly Ghost's turbid eyes. It lowered its head and said, "Miss..."
"Nothing in the universe is still!"
"All the planets and worlds are moving at a high speed!"
"This is the rule!"
"The basic rules written by the Almighty Ruler..."
It suddenly became surprised and looked at Little Man, "Miss... I have to say..."
"The trajectory of this world..."
"It's astonishingly fast!"
"It seems that there is an extremely huge strength pulling toward a huge source of gravity..."
"Moreover, in the depths of this world, there is another strength that is cooperating with the source of gravity!"
Little Man bit her lips.
She understood.
Everything was clear!
"The world's general trend, after a long time, it will be united and after a long time, it will be divided!"
The divine mountains were one part of the world.
The world had been shattered but they yearned to return to one!
Perhaps, this was the true truth behind!
In order to reunite with the other divine mountains and immortal mountains that had long been separated, Torch Dragon's divine mountain had taken the initiative to blow up a hole in the world.
Little Man looked at the hole.
She bit her lips tightly.
She did not know if what she thought was true but one thing was certain!
Torch Dragon's prediction was accurate.
Her world... was rushing towards that world at an extremely high speed.
The world in the mural!
This was an irreversible trend!
It was also the ultimate fate!
But the question is... what will happen when the two worlds collide?
Fusion?
Or greater destruction and disaster?
