Chapter 2361 - Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan! (1/2)
Within the resplendent palace was a majestic middle-aged man in a dragon robe, surrounded by a sea of energy, motionless and seated upon a massive throne.
His eyes looked in the direction of Wang Chong’s group, his expression compassionate and serene, as if he had been quietly waiting this whole time.
Upon seeing this figure, anyone would feel like they were looking up at an imposing mountain, and their minds would be filled with reverence and respect.
The originator of human civilization, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!
As he looked at that figure on the throne, Wang Chong instantly understood who it was.
This was the originator of all civilization in the Central Plains.
The man on the throne had united all under heaven, established China, built up its civilization, and cherished its people, thus creating a civilization that had persisted in the Central Plains ever since.
This man had not merely united the realm in the physical sense. He had created the soul of the Central Plains.
Wang Chong had never imagined that this would be how he would run into Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
But deep down, Wang Chong knew that this person had yet another identity that no one else knew about.
Destiny Experimental Body 2!
When Wang Chong reached the doors, he could clearly sense the call coming from another Stone of Destiny, and this sensation was growing stronger and stronger.
Wang Chong felt a complicated mixture of emotions. At the start, Wang Chong would have never imagined that this man on the throne was a transmigrator like him.
But Wang Chong quickly turned his head to the grief-stricken Little Nightmare, only a mental body now. It passed Wang Chong and dejectedly made its way into the palace.
Everything was clear now. The one who had created this massive world in the depths of the Celestial Palace was none other than the Little Grass who had been constantly on its mind. Wang Chong and Li Xuantu had already realized this, but for Little Nightmare, only now did it truly believe the reality before its eyes.
That person who had grown up together with it, its constant companion, its master and friend, was truly gone, disappeared forever.
“M-… Master.”
Upon reaching the throne, Little Nightmare threw itself on the body and began to wail.
Wang Chong couldn’t help but feel sadness at these cries.
Little Nightmare was a beast, not a human, but its soul and the emotions it felt were no different from a human’s.
“I came too late!”
A long sigh brimming with infinite sorrow resounded through the hall.
At this moment, a golden point of light burst out from Wang Chong’s forehead. This hazy light quickly formed into a projection of a person wearing a tall hat and a wide belt. As this figure looked at the man on the throne, their eyes were stricken with grief.
It was Master Guangcheng!
Wang Chong was not at all surprised to see this figure.
Before they had set out, Master Guangcheng had left a mental brand on Wang Chong. This was merely a projection without any special abilities. Master Guangcheng’s actual body was still on the ground, in the Western Mausoleum.
Wang Chong recalled the conversation he had had with Master Guangcheng before leaving the Western Mausoleum.
“Kid, I hope that you can help me with something!”
“What does Senior require? So long as it is within this junior’s abilities, this junior will do all he can,” Wang Chong had said.
“It’s not that big of a deal. You just need to help me with something.”
Master Guangcheng had extended a finger and placed it on the center of Wang Chong’s forehead, leaving behind a mental brand.
“Senior, what is this?”
“No need for questions. If you can’t reach that place, there’s naturally no meaning to it. If you do manage to get there, you’ll naturally understand. Perhaps I’m just overthinking it…”
……
That conversation had ended with a long sigh from Master Guangcheng.
Master Guangcheng had not said any more, and Wang Chong had not asked any more questions.
But now that he thought back to it, Wang Chong suddenly felt that since master and disciple were linked, perhaps Master Guangcheng had already realized something before they had set out?
Did he already know that Xuanyuan was here?
Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses.
This was a moment that belonged to Little Nightmare, Master Guangcheng, and Xuanyuan, a moment for the master-servant and teacher-disciple relationships from more than one thousand years ago. Nothing else mattered.
Wang Chong silently stood on the side, not disturbing them.
“Time…
“Fate…
“As your teacher, in the end, I was still too late!”
Master Guangcheng painfully closed his eyes, his face stricken with grief. Behind him, Wang Chong could even see that his robes were trembling from the excessive grief.
Wang Chong was greatly moved by this sight.
A simple mental brand would not tremble like this. There was no doubt that Master Guangcheng had almost lost control of himself. Before this, Master Guangcheng had always seemed strict, aloof, and lacking in affection.
