“Even if he wasn’t aware of the truth, there was a large possibility that he had noticed that G.o.d’s Bones did not truly fuse with his body after enhancing his physique with them, despite feeling that the ent.i.ty was extremely powerful. They could only provide a momentary boost to his strength, and it was a power that was hard to retain perpetually. There are both advantages and disadvantages if the ent.i.ty is truly fused with one’s body. Those who gather G.o.d’s Bones will be plagued with bad luck and disasters — it is only a matter of time before something permanent occurs.”
“Perhaps this was the reason why Mr. Nian and the core members of the Four Seasons Tower like the four Season Bearers and the twelve Months did not fuse G.o.d’s Bones into themselves to enhance their strength, even when many within the Tower had them on!”
“He led me to G.o.d’s Grave with an intent to challenge my mental strength. If the slightest trace of greed grew within me, I would have had a different end.”
“There are only a good few hundred years to meddle with anyway — the days are limited!”
Even if the apparitions in G.o.d’s Grave did not mention any bad repercussions to those who stole G.o.d’s Bones out of greed, surely a bad outcome awaits them; is there such a thing as a pleasant end to those deemed greedy thieves by the true immortals, who were seething with rage?
Maybe they were just helpless for the moment, but… this wrath would surely acc.u.mulate gradually, awaiting the day where it would be released upon a hapless victim.
Can these G.o.ds even forgive these men who had desecrated their corpses?
Even if they had been reincarnated, they will most certainly be taken back to be brutally tortured!
Reaching this thought, Yun Yang recalled the most terrifying acknowledgment in that encounter — the power of the Lord Sovereign!
In the past, Yun Yang had known that the unimaginably terrifying power wielded by the one who crippled the whole of Tianxuan, Lord Sovereign — or master of the universe — was something he could only admire from afar, but he secretly thought that G.o.ds doc.u.mented in the ancient records of Tianxuan were most likely powerhouses of such levels, or perhaps they might be the masters of the universe themselves!
The truth of the reality now, however, was when those G.o.ds from the time before the separation of Tianxuan Continent and the Bound of Universe faced the masters of the universe, their existences were those of a mere insect’s — they could be toppled with a flip of a hand and simply turned into dust within seconds!
This acknowledgment was not just scary; it was simply terrifying!
These so-called masters of the universe turned out to be such unknown factors. Using terms like high-end, elegant or cla.s.sy might not even be sufficient to describe a ten-thousandth of their strength, or maybe even a hundred-millionth!
…
“Why does it seem like there’s something on your mind? Did it not go smoothly?” Ji Lingxi frowned as she sneaked a glance at Yun Yang.
Although Yun Yang had not spoken a word since he had emerged from there, his preoccupied demeanor was easy to spot and his cheerless mood was hard to conceal.
“Could it be that something happened in there — something that exceeds our imagination…”
The ruminations in Ji Lingxi’s heart barely settled themselves. She tucked away her little att.i.tude for the next leg of the journey, showering him with tenderness as she took care of him diligently.
Yun Yang was certainly weighing out some matters in his head indeed. Even if he put aside the master of the universe since it was a matter to be dealt with in the future, merely gathering all of G.o.d’s Bones was already quite a tough task as they were already scattered all over the place. Those who had G.o.d’s Bones in their possession are surely the rich and powerful families in the Bound of Universe, clans whose strength will not be too far off from the Four Seasons Tower, perhaps even surpa.s.sing them by a fair bit… well, this would all boil down to his efforts, especially since the matter concerned Tianxuan’s existence and survival for the next hundred years — he had to definitely try his best to accomplish it. After pondering unconsciously for half a day, and after he was done with feeling blue, he found himself somewhat surprised. Why has this half a day been uneventfully pleasant?
He only had to hold out his hands to be clothed, open his mouth to be fed, and just drank whenever water was held to his lips…
Judging by Yun Yang’s brains, surely he would have known what was happening around him; yet it was precisely the same mind that prompted him to continue furrowing his brows, acting as if he was in deep thought.
An opportunity to indulge like this did not arise very often…
How would Ji Lingxi know that he was a master in acting? She continued to serve him dutifully, just in case this fellow decided to fall ill from his despondency somehow…
Sigh, the hearts of men nowadays were no longer like those before. Who said heroes didn’t have wicked thoughts? This man speaks for all!
“Where are we going?”
“Seven Star Lake.”
…
The Seven Star Lake.
“One can only understand where the Seven Star Lake had gotten its namesake by visiting this place!”
Yun Yang expressed a sigh as he gazed at the Seven Star Lake before him.
So, this was the homeland of Eunuch Mi, of Mi Kongqun…
He recalled the words uttered by that grandmother, breaths away from dying. “Thank you for helping me and Brother Qun fulfill the biggest wish in our lives. As a form of grat.i.tude, go and pay a visit to the Seven Star Lake if you are free — perhaps you may find something you seek.”
Now, here I am, at the Seven Star Lake.
