Chapter 861: Becoming the Seal (2/2)
……
“Alright, the rest is up to you. I’m going into the depths of chaos to search for something.” Fuxi sounded a bit melancholic as he looked at Lu Yun and the little fox.
“Are you really not going to die from this?” Lu Yun frowned.
“I won’t die before those connate demon gods are exterminated.” Fuxi smiled and vanished into the reaches of chaos.
“Lu Yun, what do you think Fuxi looks like?” The little fox nuzzled his cheek from her vantage point on his shoulder.
“What does he look like?” Lu Yun asked subconsciously, still looking in the direction of where his great ancestor had disappeared.
“An Exalted Divine.” The little fox’s tone was gentle. “But there are no Exalted Divines in this time.”
Lu Yun trembled. “Do you mean to say that the Exalted Divines aren’t divines, but Fuxi’s descendants?!”
Exalted Divines possessed human heads and snake bodies. They formed the character for dao when they walked, and they did look remarkably similar to Fuxi.
However, Fuxi currently had no descendants and the Exalted Divines didn’t exist at the moment. In fact, the divine race wasn’t even in the picture yet.
Divine spirits of the world were in a very primitive stage as tribute spirits nurtured by human priests. Naturally forming divine spirits were only slowly coming into their own, but the core divine spirits were already born and represented the four elements. [1]
It was becoming apparent that the origins of the human race wasn’t what people commonly said—a natural occurrence after divine spirits grew so numerous that they split off from human dependency. There were likely a lot more secrets to it.
However, Lu Yun, bearer of the Dao Flower, had already closed his eyes. He didn’t wish to look into these bloody secrets any longer.
……
Lu Yun safely returned from the chaos with the little fox in tow. Time didn’t exist in the chaos, but it existed within them. It’d been about six hours since their departure, and Taiyi’s ghost had been standing by the seal all this time. Keeping a constant eye on them, he didn’t relax until he saw the little fox return safely.
“I’m going to seal off this ocean of flames.” Lu Yun looked at Taiyi.
“Seal off the ocean?” Taiyi frowned slightly, two blazes of ghostly fires igniting in his eyes.
“The strength within this sea is decreasing every second. Even though your corpse is now a sun star, it will dwindle away to nothing one day as well. Therefore, I want to seal this place away to minimize unnecessary consumption.” Lu Yun looked intently at Taiyi.
If he sealed off this patch of space, all of its energy would converge onto his ghost, very possibly resulting in him truly scattering to the four corners of the world.
“This is a diagram of the Great Formation of the Nineheavens Gates. Use that to seal away this place.” Taiyi sighed and waved his hand, materializing a magnificent palace in front of Lu Yun.
1. The divine race’s basic elements are earth, air, fire, and water.
