A bunch of gods escorted a coffin to the Celestial River and one of them shouted in a hurry, ”Lin Xiao, what are you standing at the side of the river for? Faster, we need to complete what the empress has ordered us to do!”
Lin Xiao composed himself and he looked at the ghost ship that had appeared in the light. He hesitated for a moment and followed after the others. He said softly, ”I seemed to have been here before, it's like a nightmare. I had seen the four deities boarding the ship and even saw the commander of Feathered Forest Guards...”
”Of course you are dreaming! Get on the ship now!”
Lin Xiao stood beside the ship and hesitated.
”If this is done well, the empress will ensure your descendants achieve meteoric success in their lives!”
One of the gods said ruthlessly, ”If you hesitated again, we will have to get rid of you now to guard this secret!”
Lin Xiao braced himself to walk towards the ship while thinking to himself. ”Just a dream. It's definitely just a dream!”
Seven hundred thousand years ago.
Celestial River.
A ball of light exploded in the Celestial River. The figures of South Deity Zhu Que, East Deity Qing Long, West Deity Bai Hu and North Deity Xuan Wu appeared and they stood on both sides of the river. They saw the light fading away and a ghost ship reconstructing itself in the Celestial River.
On the ship, Dragon Count was roaring and trying to break free of the restraints. He tried to escape from the ship.
That divine dragon was incomparably strong yet because Feathered Forest Guards had pierced the chains through his body to suppress him on the ship, he didn't manage to break free from the suppression even when Qin Mu borrowed the power of the four deities to break Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art.
And now, as this ghost ship reconstructed itself, Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art made a comeback so when he struggled, he only fused with the ship more. His body merged with the building in front of the deck and now, only his head was left outside.
Fear spread through King Dragon Count's eyes and he shouted, ”Save me! Four deities, save me from here!”
The four deities remained standing on both shores and looked at the ship which got shrouded by the black gas again. They were bewildered.
”Celestial Venerable Mu was on that ship!”
North Deity Xuan Wu suddenly looked at South Deity Zhu Que and he asked solemnly, ”Celestial Venerable Mu even called you big sister. Should South Deity give us an explanation?”
”What are you looking at me for?”
South Deity Zhu Que chucked and swept her large red clothing up to transform into flames. As she fled away, her laughter came from far away. ”Like you guys, I don't know anything!”
The other three deities frowned.
”Other than us who had escaped, I also saw spots of light fading away, they looked like human figures.”
East Deity Green Dragon said softly, ”Also, the few officers that I had grabbed from the Feathered Forest Guards had also vanished from my hands. When the light burst forth, they... they had also vanished from the ship!”
He looked around but he didn't see the figures of those few officers from Feathered Forest Guards. He muttered to himself, ”This ship is too strange...”
Seven hundred and twenty years ago, the fog came invading.
”General, there's a woman casting spell in the fog!”
A huge ship sailed into the fog and Wei Suifeng looked at the fog that had suddenly appeared on the Celestial River. His heart stirred and he took off the armor on his body. He fetched the lantern he had hung on the mast and wrote on the wall in front of the building at tremendous speed.
He wrote down the final sentence. ”I've come from Ruins of End and returned to the past when I met this woman. I visited the wonders of the past and searched for the riddles of history. Now that I've met this woman again, I think I should extinguish the lantern and return.”
He hung the lantern on the lantern stand and opened up the lantern to blow out the light. The building sank into darkness.
The fog gradually turned darker and shrouded the entire ship.
Right at this moment, light exploded in the middle of the Celestial River and three officers of the Feathered Forest Guards suddenly appeared on the water surface. They looked forward in a daze and saw the black gas swallowing up their ship, vanishing from the world.
”You guys solve my divine art?” On the river surface, a woman wearing a leopard print skirt looked at them and revealed a curious look.
The three officers of the Feathered Forest Guards were still in a daze. ”You are... Celestial Venerable Ling!”
That woman smiled and said, ”Looks like my divine art isn't perfect yet, there must still be some flaw... Since you guys are out, don't run around and interfere with the major event. Follow me, you guys can also tell me how you had solved my divine art.”
She swept her sleeve and brought the three men away.
On Surging River, Village Chief and Dragon Rearing Sovereign were baffled. They had just caught up to Qin Mu and planned to explore the ghost ship with him. They had clearly been around yet Qin Mu spoke like they had not seen each other for a long time.
Furthermore, the current Qin Mu was also slightly strange. In the past when Village Chief knocked him on the head, he would hug his head and acted like he was in pain. Yet now he was only rubbing his head.
Dragon Rearing Sovereign suddenly cried out in astonishment. ”Sword God, looking at his facial hair! His facial hair is much longer than just now!”
Village Chief looked at Qin Mu and he saw that his mustache and beard had grown a few inches longer. His beard was stubbly and yet Qin Mu was still clean-shaven earlier.
Qin Mu stroked his beard and said calmly, ”Coming down from the silver rope in the sky would be Prince Qiu Ming from the celestial heavens and his two followers, their abilities are extremely high.”
Village Chief and Dragon Rearing Sovereign raised their heads and they indeed saw three small figures sliding down the silver rope from the chrysanthemum-like moon. The silver rope grew longer and longer as it headed straight from the ghost ship below.
”Boarding the ship from underwater would be Ancestral Dragon King and the half-gods under him.”
Before Village Chief and Dragon Rearing Sovereign could even see the figures of Ancestral Dragon King and the rest clearly, Qin Mu had already pointed to the west and said, ”One-Armed Divine Knife Luo Wushuang from the Spirit Elite Guards of the celestial heavens will be executing a moon-shape treasure to break through the black fog outside the ship. In the distance, Feng Qiuyun would be bringing Mother Earth Primordial Sword and carry a stone coffin, transforming into a ball of flames to come forth. In the sky, a star would arrive and Crimson Light Son of God would transform into a beam of light to descend from the sky.
