Ch 213 Light of the Apocalypse 8. 29
The clean air and bright sky made everyone's eyes wide. After experiencing an apocalypse, this place was comparable to Heaven. Butterflies fluttered by, flower petals drafted in the wind, and large green trees stood erect.
There was no fighting, no stealing. They didn't need to stay on guard at all times. Most importantly, they didn't need to throw away their conscience for the sake of survival.
"What a beautiful place." Ling Chen stood behind XunMi and gasped. He unconsciously stepped forward, slowly walking towards the beautiful flowers in the near distance.
XunMi's eyes flashed. What was this place? At first, she thought this was an illusion. But after using a high level scanner from the market, she had to conclude that this was a real place. But it was already the apocalypse, how could there still be such a place?
Changle Village, Changle Village. Was this place related to the long living people of this village?
Ye MingYe grabbed XunMi's hand, leading her to the place that kept grabbing his attention. As long there weren't any scheming people here, there really wouldn't be any dangers. Interestingly, that mysterious energy didn't seem dangerous to him. Rather, it felt familiar.
"MingYe, go. I'll wait for you here. Remember to hurry back." XunMi let go of Ye MingYe's hand and spoke standing on the side of the clear jade colored lake. The two of them had been together for centuries. She could tell what her husband was hesitating over.
Moreover, she also recognized that energy fluctuation was coming from this small lake. Whatever was inside must be useful for her husband.
"Bring this with you." She pulled out two poison antidotes and placed them into his hands."These can treat the zombie virus. But it's only effective with immediate treatment. Remember to use it quickly. Don't forget that I'm here waiting for you." XunMi grabbed Ye MingYe's hand. She wasn't scared of anything. She was only afraid that her husband would go and face a difficult situation alone.
Ye MingYe placed the antidotes in his space inventory and lightly pulled XunMi into his embrace."Wait for me." He planted a lingering kiss on her forehead before walking into the lake.
XunMi pulled out a sofa from her space, set up a table, and arranged it with sunflowers seeds and other snacks. She then pulled out three hammocks and two sleeping bags. After pulling out another sofa, she grabbed her tablet and began to relax.
"Wow, sister in law. You really know how to live life large." Ling Chen's eyes lit up as he grabbed the snacks on the table. He planted his butt down on the comfortable sofa, immensely satisfied.
Song ZiQian was more reserved but still knew to pamper himself. That sofa was long enough for him to lie down entirely.
"MingYe might need some time. We'll just wait here. As for those other people..." She thought about it for a second."Let's just ignore them for now." They would be able to stop them if those others were scheming anything, anyways.
Song ZiQian and Ling Chen both agreed to her plans. The environment was good here. At least here, they could temporarily ignore all the fighting for survival.
...
Ye MingYe felt the beckoning grow stronger as soon as he jumped into the lake. The water around him seemed to have its own consciousness. Around him, there were no obstacles at all in his way. The water moved obediently. He had originally thought that he would have to use his special abilities to breathe. Soon, however, he realized that he was breathing fine underwater. His body relaxed naturally, as if he were a fish back in water.
The deeper he swam into the lake, the brighter the light became. He knew that the thing that beckoned him was near. Suddenly, a golden light pierced through, forcing him to stop and squeeze his eyes closed. When his eyes adapted, Ye MingYe reopened them. The sight before him made his face change immediately.
What was that? A beautiful sculpture, so beautiful that he could tell immediately who the sculpture was replicating. This was obviously his Mi'er! Why was there a replica of Mi'er in the middle of this lake? She looked like she was sleeping. A golden dragon curled around her body. He couldn't describe his current mood. He was obviously upset with that dragon. How could it cling onto his Mi'er?
But there was also a voice telling him that that was him. The dragon was him. He laughed at himself. How could he be a dragon?
At that moment, numerous scenes flashed in his mind. They were realistic but passed by too quickly for him to hold onto them.
"My heir, you've finally arrived." A harsh resounding voice spoke by Ye MingYe's ear. He was forced to forget the painful memories in his head as he turned to confront this sudden appearance.
"Who are you? Come out!" He looked around, alert, but couldn't see anything.
"I'm right here, in your mind. It's been tens of thousands of years. I thought that I wouldn't be able to anticipate your arrival." Ye MingYe didn't try to understand that presence's weird words. He only felt like his brain was being split apart. His face stiffened as his eyes became bloodshot.
"Don't resist. It can give you more power. It will capture her energy too. With this, you will be able to protect her. You have to protect her well." The presence sighed. His voice felt further away, as if he had experienced numerous eras of change and the reincarnation of all living things. He felt omniscient but yet could not let go of his attachment to one person.
"Yes, I need to protect Mi'er. I can't let her get her. I need the energy." Ye MingYe's eyes were completely bloodshot, slowly becoming golden. His face glistened with scattered golden scales. In the golden storm, his shadow transformed into the figure of a dragon. The magnificent baptism awoken every cell in Ye MingYe's body, making him crave more. He focused on grabbing onto the new energy source, grasping firmly onto it to make it his.
The golden dragon on the sculpture suddenly opened its eyes, glancing in Ye MingYe's direction. He then looked up towards the surface of the lake, wanting to see that person. It had been over ten thousand years. Was she okay?
She had been the most outstanding Goddess of the time. Even when she had been so harshly injured, he believed that she will be able to remember and return to her original place. He fondly took one last look before closing his eyes.
It was time he laid dormant. When the day comes that the spell was broken, all the past grievances and resentments could come to an end.
