Chapter 1340: Controlling The Boneship
Li Qiye’s comment was quite mystifying to the listeners. They couldn’t understand many things he spoke of. Fairy kept on thinking with her eyes flashing brightly. Ultimately, she became confused again since these short bursts of elucidation weren’t enough.
Li Qiye smiled and returned to the rudder. His hands lit up with narrow runes that formed a stream of light. They slowly flowed like time itself and seemingly had their own life. These runes wrapped around the shudder and drilled inside.
The ship’s speed increased while giving off a difficult-to-describe sensation. It looked like a stream of water was wishing to fill the entire boneship.
Ruyan immediately asked: “What are you doing, Young Noble?”
He smiled and continued to control the flowing runes: “Taking control of the boneship in order to lead it to wherever I want.”
“They can be controlled?” Jianshi was surprised to hear this. The common belief was that these ships couldn’t be controlled. Those who board could only let the ships drift wherever they wanted; of course, they also had the option to switch ships during the journey.
Li Qiye smiled in response: “That depends on the person. If you understand the mysteries and fundamental essences of the Bonesea, then you can remove its restrictions and control the ship regardless of one’s strength. Of course, the stronger you are, the stronger the ship will be after the takeover. It is quite a big mystery within the grand scheme of things.”
Having said that, the entire ship lit up. It was made out of some strange bones and after waking up, it radiated a warm feeling like jade.
One could see the long flowing runes spread across the ship. They were quite delicate and exquisite, making the entire ship look like a carved masterpiece. Upon closer inspection, one would find that these runes were quite complex. There was vegetation as well as rare beasts. They carried a natural and vast aura of antiquity. It seemed that something was recorded in these patterns.
The group carefully looked at them but couldn’t read any of it. Even though they could feel a sentimental sadness, its mysteries still eluded them. Only Fairy was relishing their presence in full immersion.
She eventually murmured: “Everything grows until the world restarts.”
The group was a bit shaken after hearing this. It seemed that this sentence encompassed an eternal secret.
“Among the long eras, there has not been one that was considered the end of time just yet.” Li Qiye shook his head: “It could only be considered a collapse. A real destruction is where all things cease to be and time itself becomes ashes.”
“When will that day come?” She looked at him with limpid eyes.
Li Qiye pondered for a moment before answering: “It will certainly come since the great era is not far off.”
The startled group seemed to realize that they had just overheard an unbelievable secret.
The daoist couldn’t help but ask Li Qiye: “Will the world truly be destroyed?”
He didn’t answer the daoist. Fairy continued to stare at Li Qiye as if she wanted to find out the answer from him.
He made a statement instead: “As long as I am still in this world, that day won’t come. Everything will continue as is before I receive a convincing answer from the villainous heavens! If what lies above the nine firmaments does not give me an answer, then I shall take it down and make my own!”
It was a very solemn statement. He aimed it at Fairy, not the rest of the group.
