Chapter 1891: Ganges River (1/2)

The princess pondered after hearing Li Qiye’s explanation of the river. She wondered about the epoch with Buddhism as the focus. Just how magical was it?

“Do we want to cross?” She asked after returning from rumination.

Li Qiye gently nodded: “Yes, I shall give you a fortune, and there is no better one than crossing this river in the Buddhist Plain. But as for what you can get out of it, that’s up to you.”

“It’s possible?” She said: “Rumor has it that there had been emperors who got lost in this river, never returning.”

Li Qiye agreed: “That’s right. Too many have lost their way in this river, including emperors and top High G.o.ds. Forcing the issue is very difficult. This is a very long river of time. One would die from old age before reaching its source. Only a crossing vessel would be able to do it in our time.”

“Why would these emperors be lost since their dao heart is so firm?” The princess found this quite astonis.h.i.+ng. Not to mention their power, those who could become emperor were all determined.

“Try once, you’ll see right away.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Well…” Her expression instantly changed, not out of cowardice but just being realistic. Even emperors have lost themselves here; she couldn’t compare to them at all.

“It’s alright under my protection. Just try, this might be beneficial to your future fortune. Just take a step, I’ll pull you back when necessary.” Li Qiye added.

She heaved a sigh of relief and composed herself by the sh.o.r.e before solemnly declaring: “I’m ready.”

“Go.” Li Qiye’s voice came from behind. He gave her a nudge forward and she stepped into the river. The moment she made contact, she instantly disappeared.

The scene before her changed. The Ganges River was no longer there, replaced by a large city with an indescribable aura. This aura had a calming effect. The princess wasn’t nervous at all and was still in charge of her senses.

It was a cacophony of noise with people walking about in this prosperous place. She watched people came and went. They wore a style that she had never seen before. There was all kind of races; some of which were new to her as well, same with their languages.

The people here also took several glances at her. She found them strange and different so naturally, they found her new as well.

Despite her unfitting appearance, the ones here didn’t crowd her. On the contrary, they nodded and gave her a friendly smile.

She felt that this was an illusion so she greeted someone next to her, holding their hands tightly. There was a warm and real sensation as if she was actually here in this new world. Her mind was still lucid enough to tell her that this wasn’t the case.

She continued walking across the city to understand its culture. She found that this was a place ruled by Buddhism. Many mortals aspired to become a Buddha. As time pa.s.sed, she grew to understand this world even more after traveling to many cities and witnessing the lands.

She found herself loving this world due to its serene nature and inadvertently found herself a.s.similating with it.

In the beginning, she was very clear of her situation but as her fondness for this world intensified, she no longer cared where she came from. Despite knowing that she wasn’t part of this world, she still wanted to be a part of it.

During her stay, she felt a call from the depth summoning her, telling her to return. At this juncture, it was beyond her control and she instinctively followed in that direction…
