Chapter 334: Realm G.o.d
Li Qiye took a deep breath. He clearly understood that this was not what this heaven and earth was initially. This should have been a vibrant place filled with life. There was no doubt that this world of death was caused by the Realm G.o.d.
Burning the sky and boiling the ocean was not a difficult matter once one reached the Realm G.o.d’s level. If it truly went mad, then it would absolutely destroy the entire academy.
Treading on this barren land, it became hotter and hotter as the earth became even more damaged. Once Li Qiye reached a certain place, the entire surroundings were fragmented as if a powerful force was tearing the earth apart.
Li Qiye saw the Realm G.o.d, one of the two G.o.ds of the Mortal Emperor World and something comparable to the Calamity G.o.d. Both of them were more than powerful enough to be venerated by future generations.
However, if you thought that the Realm G.o.d was an invincible expert that looked down on this world and reigned over the six dao, then you were completely wrong!
The Realm G.o.d was a pine tree, not a human. It was an extremely old and sacred pine tree. Legends say that this tree grew up in the Void Gate, and an ancestor of the academy later took it to the outside world.
No outsiders knew whether this was the truth or not because the world also thought that the Void Gate did not exist and that it was only a baseless a.s.sertion.
This was not Li Qiye’s first time meeting with the Realm G.o.d. As the Dark Crow traveling everywhere, he had met the Realm G.o.d several times. One could say that at that moment, the Realm G.o.d’s aura was peerless. Even when it maintained a regular pine tree form, everyone would know that it was a pine tree enlightened in the dao.
However, its appearance had changed from before by this meeting between the two. As a pine tree growing on this scorched earth, it was withered and was without any leaves on its broken and cracked branches.
Li Qiye carefully looked at the Realm G.o.d and became startled the moment he saw its wound. The withering body was not important, the key was that there was half a branch that was burnt as if it was struck by lightning! This was a calamity brought down by the heavens.
Li Qiye could tell — with a single glance — whether or not it was damage caused by a tribulation. He meticulously looked at the location of the scorched wound on the pine tree; the area of this wound seemed to have lost all of its vitality as if it was cut off by the lightning strike. This was a fatal injury! Even an existence like the Realm G.o.d would have a difficult time healing such a wound.
After looking at the wound over and over again, he finally pulled out a black needle from the wound. There was a scintillating blackness as if it was devouring time, instilling fear straight into the hearts of others. It was more accurate to call it a black s.h.i.+mmer rather than a black needle.
“Time-s.p.a.ce Chaos Glint!” Seeing this black s.h.i.+mmer in his hand, Li Qiye murmured in surprise.
Little Autumn had once brought this black s.h.i.+mmer back so Li Qiye had seen it before and understood its significance!
“Is the World Tree really about to appear?” Li Qiye uttered while looking at this black light in his hand.
This blackness was involved in things unknown to man, but Li Qiye knew that it had something to do with the Realm G.o.d’s origin.
After a while, he put away the black light and quietly called out to the pine tree: “Realm G.o.d, Realm G.o.d, can you feel it? Can you feel yourself being devoured?”
However, despite his calls, the Realm G.o.d did not respond as if it had lost its vitality. It was like an ancient pine tree that was struck by a heavenly tribulation, awaiting death.
“Realm G.o.d! Realm G.o.d!” Li Qiye called out once again, but he was met with no response.
However, Li Qiye did not give up and continued to gently call out to the Realm G.o.d. He knew that the Realm G.o.d purposely suppressed itself into a deep slumber.
Meanwhile, during Li Qiye’s trip to the depths of the academy, brilliant immortal lights suddenly covered the sky right outside of the five great halls. The encompa.s.sing radiance gave the academy the appearance of a land of immortals.
The light floated around for a while before it eventually fell down and turned into an extremely ancient portal in the five great halls’ territory. The immortal lights then continuously created many great, s.h.i.+fting visuals.
One could see a plethora of sceneries right through the portal, including majestic mountains towering to the sky along with deep valleys and run-down ancient temples…
