Book 7, Chapter 34: The Secrets of the Gods
The sun was beginning to set
The wilderness was covered in corpses and drenched in blood
Eternal Night stood alone on theat the mounds of corpses scattered everywhere His heart ached
“Your Majesty!” Lonely Skyleap clutched at his chest as he wobbled unsteadily towards Eternal Night “Serene Dreaht silently walked into the Mother Goddess Temple’s Hall of Ceremonies
Serene Dream Lotus Crown’s corpse lay upon an altar at the very front of the hall A young entlya prayer under her breath
Her na bishops of the Mother Goddess Sect and also Serene Dreaht sloalked towards Serene Drea at them with a sentimental expression as he softly said, “You’ve suffered a lot over these past years And now, your soul has finally returned to the Heavens Wait for me there When I finish my task here, I will come to look for you”
Red Deer calmly asked, “Does Your Majesty not feel that it is a bit too late to say these words?”
Eternal Night sighed regretfully “Yes, it is a little late, but I do not regret my decision Lotus Crown made her sacrifice for the Harpies’ future, as will I”
Red Deer lifted her head to gaze at Eternal Night “But what if the Harpies lose this coht squinted as he slowly said, “Are you doubting me?”
Red Deer refused to back down as she continued to stare intently at Eternal Night “I aives ht to question Your Majesty’s decisions! These include your sparing of Su Chen and your relinquishi+ng of the Mother Goddess Sect’s treasures!”
Eternal Night frowned
He knew that Red Deouldn’t support him unconditionally like Serene Drea him this openly surprised him quite a bit
Of course, this was likely related to the alliance he had nificantly weakened the Mother Goddess Sect’s influence
When Serene Dream Lotus Crown had been alive, she had shi+elded hiion’s criticis to hit back
After a ht replied, “Red Deer, the survival of our race hinges solely on whether we advance or retreat The huht When they truly reach their full potential, they will not allow us to live”
“Then you shouldn’t have spared Su Chen in the first place”
“But without hiained its freedom of movement”
“Even without Sky City’s freedom of movement, we could haveon that old-fashi+oned, conservative mindset?
She clearly believed that, if he had just killed Su Chen, then everything would have returned to “norht would have kept the s that you don’t know about
Or at the very least, you just don’t know about theht replied, “There is a book on the bookshelf in your teacher’s room Second row from the top, and the third book from the left Open it, and you will find the answers you seek We can talk once you have those answers”
Red Deas taken aback
She didn’t understand why Eternal Night had suddenly mentioned a book from out of nowhere, but since he had said so, then she could only forcefully suppress the doubts in her heart
Her thoughts ild even as she carried out the burial ceremony But no matter what, she could not fathom what that book could possibly contain
Eventually, the ceremony came to an end
Next, it was time for the new leader of the Mother Goddess Sect to be inducted
The long, drawn-out ceremony and the various minor rites frustrated Red Deer quite a bit
She had dreamed about her coronation many times in the past, but the actual ceremony was so hurried and si of sorrow and paint
By the tihttime
Red Deer returned to the Mother Goddess Sect leader’s residence, only to find that it had already been altered to her personal preferences The traces of Serene Drea to disappear
Red Deer gazed at the faht’s words continued to echo constantly in her mind
She rose and headed for the secret cultivation room near the back
This secret cultivation room’s layout was the only one that had been preserved In fact, there was an ancient rule that said that this room was not to be touched by any of the new leaders of the Mother Goddess Sect
It seeone into this decision
Red Deer stepped into the study and walked over to the bookshelf
Most of the books were about Arcana techniques, and a select feere the Mother Goddess Sect’s divine scriptures
Red Deer quickly found the book that Eternal Night was referring to: Secrets of the Western Border
Red Deer attempted to pull the book out of the bookshelf, but was unable to remove it
She exerted a bit an to creak and groan as a dark passage appeared before her eyes
Red Deer gazed into the darkness, shocked Inside, she found a died very simply in that it was coeway opened, however, Red Deer felt a wave of energy wash over her
The room had obviously been equipped with an extrein Fore of the fundain Formations was quite deep, so she was immediately able to identify that the flow of tiin Foreas opened would the formation deactivate, and it would also automatically reactivate as soon as the door was opened
