1064 Darkness Is Coming (1/2)
”Ah Chou?”
Qin Mu immediately became nervous. He hurriedly asked, ”Which one?”
The god didn't recognize him, but he replied, ”I don't know. We are at the border. Half-gods and humans live together, and neither us nor the half-gods can manage this area. There are no censuses.”
Qin Mu's expression changed as he hurriedly said to Yan'er, ”Look after the lantern. Don't let it be extinguished.”
Yan'er was perplexed. The lantern was Wei Suifeng's treasure, and he was the Emperor of Endless Clouds. How could the lantern he forged be easily extinguished?
Qin Mu was extremely nervous. He walked around and hurriedly told Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue, ”Evacuate the people here. Move them inland, far away from this place. There's about to be a terrifying occurrence here!”
Celestial Venerable Yue was stunned and immediately ordered people to move the humans inland.
'The darkness is coming… it's coming. The darkness of that day must have come from a nearby heaven. Those half-gods found the wrong place.'
Qin Mu looked up at the sky. There were several heavens in it. Some powerful half-gods were flying towards them and leaving behind god light trails, like meteors streaking through the sky.
Qin Mu mumbled, ”Ah Chou is actually in a nearby world, but darkness is coming, and this place will be affected… The lantern can't withstand it! Sister Yue, Sister Ling, I have to leave this place for the celestial heavens immediately. I must get there before darkness arrives and do what I have to do!”
Celestial Venerable Yue and Celestial Venerable Ling were somewhat reluctant as they said, ”You want to leave when you just got here?”
Qin Mu hopped on the carriage and said, ”We'll still have chances to meet later, relax. I'll come back for you two! Yan'er, look after the lantern. Pi, prepare to go!”
He entered the carriage, opened the windows, and said, ”Don't stay here, leave now!”
Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue saw how serious he was, so they knew it was something big. Celestial Venerable Ling went to him, gave him her peachwood hairpin, and said, ”Before you leave, return it to me.”
Qin Mu put it in the heart of his brows, and as soon it landed in the Qin word land, there was another one in Celestial Venerable Ling's hair.
Celestial Venerable Ling smiled and whispered, ”With this, I can persevere.”
The heavenly dragons pulled the carriage into the air and used the wind to speed onward. When the carriage went by the palace on the bird, the man with blood all over his face lifted his head and shouted at the carriage, ”I can't die! If I'm dead, none of you will escape!”
Qin Mu looked at him through the windows. He was expressionless and speechless.
The lady walked out and looked at Qin Mu from afar. Qin Mu nodded, and the lady returned the greeting.
”I separate my feuds and favors clearly. I'll repay you in the future.” Qin Mu felt the lady's consciousness wave in his head.
The carriage passed the palace and flew towards the celestial river.
The man with the spear through his chest on the pole smiled. ”Nü Xin, I feel the eruption of a powerful force in the darkness. Earth Count has reincarnated. Do you want to use this opportunity to get rid of him?”
”The greatest enemy of the masters of creation, besides the Grand Emperor and Tai Chu, is Earth Count.”
The lady plainly said, ”Both of them, as well as Earth Count, are going to die. This is an excellent opportunity to kill Earth Count. Once he's gone, the masters of creation will be rid of their natural enemy! I can then create many masters of creation and repopulate the Nü Xin Tribe!”
”I can help you.”
The man gently said, ”After all, we're husband and wife…”
It was still fine when he didn't mention that. After he did, the lady became angry and retrieved a tray from the palace with hundreds of silver needles on it.
She picked one up and gently shook it, and it became a foot long. She then proceeded to stab them into his body one by one.
The man cried out in bitter pain.
At that moment, the lady suddenly felt something and looked up into the sky in a hurry. The man on the pole excitedly said, ”You felt it too? The surging dark force! This force is coming from Earth Count! They have already found him. We can work together as husband and wife to get rid of him…”
The lady heard what he said, and hatred grew in her heart. She picked up the whip and whipped him crazily, causing him to be covered in injuries.
The man on the pole shouted while laughing, ”As long as you're by my side, I'll like it even if you hit me with ten times the force!”
The lady put away the whip and looked up towards the dark wave. She coldly said, ”It isn't easy to scheme against Earth Count. I'll need your real body to come forth. Where is it? Why hasn't it shown itself yet?”
The man looked at her gently. ”It has been quietly looking at you. I watch how you hit me. I'll never get bored of it, even if it goes on for another hundred thousand or a million years…”
The lady beat him up again. ”Bring it out!”
Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue felt the dark wave as well. It didn't come from a place near them. Instead, it came from the heaven above them.
The Primordial Realm had thousands of worlds hanging in the sky. Where they came from and why they appeared were mysteries to Postcelestial races.
They just knew that they hung there.
After his travels outside, Celestial Venerable Yun once revealed that they may be worlds created by some prehistoric race, but he didn't go into detail.
Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and dark devil aura flooded out of the ground. The people at the border panicked and scampered as if the sky was falling.
Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue were shocked as they looked up. The heaven was like a giant devil eye emanating a devilish aura that was like tentacles.
Meanwhile, the devilish aura flooding out of the ground was flooding towards that heaven, but both of them felt that it didn't come from a place underground. Instead, it came from another space and time.
Youdu!
'There has been a drastic change in Youdu!' Both of them thought simultaneously.
At that moment, the dark devilish aura became denser and denser. Celestial Venerable Yue flew up and said, ”Quickly, evacuate the people here!”
Lights streaked across the sky as they flew towards the heaven. Those were abnormally strong half-gods!
On the celestial river, Qin Mu hastened them, and the carriage went straight for the celestial heavens. At that moment, he saw the stars in the sky becoming brighter as they overshadowed the sun's glow.
Qin Mu's heart fluttered. That was an ancient god moving their ancestral star while flying towards them from a distant time and space!
At that moment, he saw several large ships dragging a gargantuan thing while flying over them on the celestial river, heading towards a heaven in the Primordial Realm.
