Chapter 1498 “Going Back? (2)”
Unfortunately for these pleading fools, the answer was once again utter silence.
Since the moment Bai Yan fell into her trance like state, the lady has not once responded to anything or anyone. She’s fully enveloped in her own inner world of blurry images. Then suddenly, something occurred with the pillar of light shrouding the lady. It fluctuated, giving no obvious sign of what happened in that moment. However, the woman herself felt it from the inside.
Bai Yan’s been wandering aimlessly for a while now inside a strange void due to All Heaven’s effect, but her aimless wandering didn’t last long when a huge towering structure suddenly appeared in front. She halted, baffled and surprised by the familiarity of the building: it’s a skysc.r.a.per.
There are also people from what she observed, mostly men and woman chatting with a smile on their faces as they carried out their business; however, what caught Bai Yan’s attention were the clothes they wore. Each and every one of them had the same type of clothing people on Earth wore!
This is….. Earth?
Realization dawned on the lady, knowing full well what the image represented.
Does All Heaven want me to return to Earth?
Right as Bai Yan’s brain became stalled by her own thoughts, a faint yet distant voice echoed over, wooing her to move forward and that there’s something she must retrieve from the other side.
“Why Earth? I’m originally from the Celestial Realm so what could possibly be over on that side worthy of retrieving? Can it be…. I only got reincarnated on Earth the previous time because All Heaven sent me over there?”
Just as she’s pondering on what to do and the consequences of leaving so abruptly, a warm light pounced over without indication, shrouding her and melting that fading figure.
……
Demon City, outside the city gate.
Bai Xiachen had just swung his head around to check up on his mother when he saw the mildly transparent body of Bai Yan’s figure. Immediately, the boy’s face went bleakly white with shock. Without another thought, the young lad threw himself over to his mother’s leg to cling onto it, refusing to let go like he’s afraid doing so would wind up with him being abandoned.
“Yan’er, Xiachen!” Bai Ning also saw this scene and flew into a horrific shock. She also wants to enter the light to be not left behind, however, the resistant pushed her back and causes the grandmother to stumble backwards.
“Grandma,” Bai Xiachen speaks to comfort his grandmother, “I think All Heaven is sending me and Mother to another place, we might not be able to return for a while. Please take care of my siblings while we’re not around!”
“No!” Panicking now after getting that detail, Bai Ning tried several more times to enter the light pillar to no avail. She’s being repelled repeatedly like all the rest.
“Where are you going? Don’t leave! Don’t go!” Her voice carried a heart wrenching tone that could make anyone tear up. Even so, this poor grandmother had no other choice but to watch her own daughter and grandchild slowly disappear from this world.
Bai Ning crumbled then after the fact, paralyzed on the ground like a lifeless doll that’s devoid of energy. There’s hollowness in those eyes, which gradually transformed into a burning fire when they landed on the Keepers not far away.
Exactly then as if timed, a painful howl of a roar bursts forth from the city, followed closely by a purplish figure zooming out from the palace and onto the battlefield. This new entry had a devilish look that could mesmerize any living female, yet his face had nothing but panic and distress plastered all over the surface. “Where’s my wife, where’s Yan Yan?! Tell me, where did my wife go! Where did she disappear to?!”
