Chapter 526: Splintered (2/2)
Thankfully, his questions would be answered, though not in a verbal sense, as a Portal appeared before him. Like sharp scissors through cloth, Bai Xue tore open space, ”Follow me.” She said and stepped onto the other side of the tear.
After Wang Ling stepped into the tear, the air changed tremendously. On the other side of the Portal, was no open plains or a world kept in a pocket dimension. Instead, Wang Ling found himself in a narrow path similar to that of a cave.
The atmosphere became heavier his body experienced goosebumps he had not felt in tens of thousands of years. However, what was even more terrifying was the fact that the gravity in the realm was much heavier than the constant weight of the Cosmos outside.
If Wang Ling hadn't awakened this body of the All-Father, he would have already turned to blood splatter on the ground, [Right now, I can grasp the law of space, gravity is but another variable to be manipulated… but, I can't see to control it in this place.]
Wang Ling moved his hand and found that his movement was very much restricted and around his body, the wind gathered, as though it chained latching on him, ”Xue, what's this place? Is it another Planet you kept inside the Deity Paradise? If so, I want to examine the outside world.”
Bai Xue laned on top of Wang Ling's shoulders and wrapped herself around his neck, ”Though you're correct that this is a world inside the Deity Paradise, this place is not a planet or a world. If you seek the surface, this is already the surface you are searching for, nothing else. This is the world, this path leading to an opening in the world, nothing more… here we are.”
Reaching the end of the path, Wang Ling's eyes widened.
It was a massive cavern.
He looked in amazement as a being radiated with power floated inside a bubble in the middle of the cavern. In front of him was a giant figure, something that was alive and wasn't, a Red Fox with nine tails yet its body was mangled beyond recognition.
That alone was enough to surprise Wang Ling, however, something else caught his attention. Around the deteriorating Red Fox, were four shrines of the corresponding color of White, Azure, Vermillion, and Black.
These Shrines held onto individual Eggs, and from it, Wang Ling could feel the beat of life. When he approached beyond the entrance.
”After I expunged the first consciousness, it materialized to that of a deposing version of my body. A Fox with Red Fur that manipulates space and time to its will. It erases everything it wants, and so, I sealed it in another world when I created the Deity Paradise. Other than you, no one else knows of this place…”
”But, what about those four eggs, are they—”
”What do you think?” Bai Xue snickered, ”Those are the First Four Deities… The Four Guardian Deities… they betrayed me after the Red Fox's materialization… I told you, the Deities are splintered.”
