Zhang Yunyan thought of the millennium covenant and another unknown ancient era, which made it difficult for her to understand.
In her doubt, the "dream words" from a thousand years ago seemed to come up again. "You may not believe my words, but I figure it out. This must take place. You don"t have to doubt my words. We have deep friendships and can be called friends of life and death. This is our fate. For this, I have kept it in my mind, leaving you those words to show my sadness at my departure."
These words sounded mysterious and Zhang Yunyan could not understand it nor believe it. Aside from her visit to Tianyue Country and making acquaintance with Xiao Tianlong, she had never gone to another era and did not know ancient persons of other eras.
Asid from Xiao Tianlong, she had never had any contact with ancient persons of other eras and did not have friends of life and death. No one would believe such absurd things.
In the days in Tianyue Country, Zhang Yunyan fought against Ninth Heaven Condor and the "Eight Devils in the Mountains." In order to save the second prince, she had a battle with the spider elf Xuanling Female Saint. In addition, she became a good friend with Ganoderma lucidum elf Treasure. In order to save her, she had fought against the tod elf Free Saint.
Aside from Treasure, the monsters that Yunyan encountered in Tianyue Country were not her friends but her enemies. They hated her. The tiger demon Saint of the Forest and the five other monsters were killed under her Magical Dragon Sword, while Free Saint and Xuanling Female Saint hated her deeply. They had all wanted to kill her immediately.
She had b.l.o.o.d.y hatred with the snow-sculpture elf Ninth Heaven Condor, the remaining lion demon King of the Mountains, and wolf demon Howling Monster of the "Eight Devils in the Mountains."
The millennial covenant was by no means a ferocious monster. She had no friendships but instead had enmity with those evil spirits.
The ancient person was not Treasure.
Besides, they were all elves and monsters from thousands of years ago. They had already died, and even their bones could not be found today.
A bizarre thought occurred to Zhang Yunyan, and she sighed inwardly. She did not know whether she would actually go to another ancient era in the future.
Perhaps she would go to the unknown ancient times. The "millennium covenant" had expressed its meaning clearly. "I have figured it out. This must take place. You don"t have to doubt my words."
It seemed that she might go to another ancient era for adventure in the future. She did not know whether that era was before or after the Tianyue Country or what kind of magical artifact would take her to that era. It could time-travel through the ancient times and future. She did not even know what the ancient person looked like, what kind of character he had, and what kind of high-level skills he had mastered.
All of these were her suspicions. Yunyan could not know and would not know. She could only wait for the moment when she could go to the ancient era. Then, she could solve these mysteries.
The millennium messages seemed to rise again to her ears. "Zhang Yunyan, I will leave and never come back. The cave will be destroyed and the affection of thousands of years will end. I am unwilling to do this and feel heartbroken... Love, hatred, all of the emotions are determined in one"s fate; what is true, false, all of justice decide one"s fate. Zhang Yunyan, be careful. I should go, should go..."
Zhang Yunyan was still puzzled and could not believe the millennium covenant was true.
She looked at the collapsing hole and wondered again. If the millennium message a thousand years ago was false, how could the destruction of the cave be explained?
The thousand-year-old prophecy had indeed been fulfilled. She had no doubts. The facts in front of here were the best proof. She could not deny it.
If the millennium message was a lie and did not exist, how could she explain her soul coming to the cave on the so-called "the day a thousand years later"?
Zhang Yunyan"s doubts about the millennium message decreased. It might be true. The collapsed cave was in front of her and the prediction was accurate. She had to admit it.
It seemed that the one who left the message existed indeed. It was not a lie. She had hidden her name for many years and called herself Yun Feiyan, but the "millennial covenant" could accurately call her real name. He must know her well.
Even so, Yunyan still could not believe this impossible "myth." Aside from Tianyue Country, she had never been to other worlds from thousands of years ago. She could not know some other ancient persons or build a friendship of life and death with them.
Her going to Tianyue Country was extremely accidental. If she had not taken the Tongtian Precious Carriage with Xiao Tianlong, she would not have gotten to the alienated world thousands of years ago.
Even if she hoped to go to ancient times, she did not have this kind of skill. She could not dream of it. How could he know her and how could they have a friendship?
Needless to say, even if Yunyan knew the ancient person thousands of years ago and had some sort of relationship with him, he should not treat his "friend" with generations as an enemy.
This was not what a "good friend" should do. He should not have set up a "stone table" and a colorful bead to hurt her. He should not have allowed the three-colored demon aura of the colorful bead to torture her to death.
What was worse, the demon aura encamped in her body and would control her soul. She might become a tool for the monsters; maybe she would be tortured until her soul disappeared.
Facing the collapsed cave, Zhang Yunyan should believe it but could not. They did not know whether the message leaver existed or not. Perhaps, it was just a lie to confuse people.
Yunyan could not confirm this bizarre thing. She was thinking, suspecting, but could not make a conclusion and would not have a conclusion.
It seemed that she could only keep this thing in her mind. Once she went to another ancient era in the future, she would be ablet to solve this mystery.
She stopped thinking about these mysteries and calmed down her disordered emotions. She had to decide what to do next. In the underworld and facing a new environment and a new group, she had to take it seriously and prepare psychologically.
In addition, she still had to avenge her relatives in the human world. She had to learn the skills to return to the human world.
Zhang Yunyan looked at the surrounding scenery and frowned again in puzzlement. She felt confused. Was the underworld like this?
She had not thought that the underworld would be the same as the human world. There were mountains and rivers, trees and gra.s.ses. It was so bright. She was greatly surprised and in disbelief.
It was said that the ghosts were afraid of sunlight. The underworld should be dim and gloomy. How could it have a sun?
The sun, flowers and trees, mountains and rivers in the underworld seemed to be the same as in the human world.
Were these all superficial? Were the natures of the two worlds not the same?
Maybe. After all, the human world and the underworld were two different worlds. They must have different environments. How could they have the same scenery?
Zhang Yunyan looked back at the collapsed hole and felt emotional. She sighed and shook her head from time to time. She had not expected that the things in the underworld were so weird. There were plenty of incredible and fearsome puzzles.
In any case, Yunyan finally escaped the terrible cave and could travel through the underworld. She needed to know and feel this different world and adapt to the new environment and the new world. She should prepare to return to the human world.
Zhang Yunyan saw birds and b.u.t.terflies. She heard birds singing and insects calling. She felt as if she was still alive. It seemed that there was not much difference between the underworld and the human world. Since it was so, she would not feel strange and would adapt to the new environment easily. Then, she could make a better arrangement for her new life.
During her inspection, Yunyan did not see animals running on the road nor any active figures—the wandering ghosts. She felt somewhat disappointed. She was going to look for companions—ghosts. Then, she would learn some customs of the underworld and find a way to get to the human world.
Yunyan hoped to worship an expert who could help her return to the human world. Then, she could complete her unfulfilled vows.
Zhang Yunyan sighed silently and worried about the uncertain future. She had experienced quite a lot of troubles when she was alive, and it would not be smooth-sailing for her soul after her death.
She knew that it was as difficult as going to heaven for her to return to the human world. It would also be hard to have a chance to worship an expert. In the underworld, she would have a hard time and it would be difficult to reach her goals.
Zhang Yunyan sighed. She could not predict what would happen in the future. The three-colored demon aura had set up in her body. She did not know what it would do to her. Why bother? She should move on and not think too much.
In the underworld, her mind naturally went to her relatives in the Zhang and Lin families. She felt both yearning and heartbreak. A desire for reunion grew in her mind. She was about to look for the souls of her relatives and tell them her yearning and pain of departure from them. She hoped to enjoy the long-lost family affection.
Yunyan thought of her fiancé and felt pain. Her eyes filled with tears. She had been separated for a few years from brother Jiaxiang. She missed him from time to time and still felt hurt.
Now that she had come to the underworld, she hoped to reunite with brother Jiaxiang. They would not be separated anymore. Since they could not get married in the human world, they must realize this dream in the underworld. If they could not hold a wedding in the underworld, they could reincarnate together and live together in the next life.
Zhang Yunyan thought a lot. She was yearning and in pain. A prayer turned up in her mind as she thought about how to spend her life in the underworld.
She looked at the scenery around her and planned to have a look in the underworld. She needed to strive for her dreams just as when she was alive and go for those unfulfilled wishes.
Yunyan took a few steps. A sudden whirlwind pa.s.sed, then she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she discovered that she was lying on the ground in the woods.
Zhang Yunyan sat up and looked at herself. She was fine. Moving her body, she felt no pain or discomfort.
She was puzzled, clearly recalling being in front of the collapsed cave. How did she get here unconsciously?
Yunyan felt like she had fallen asleep but when she woke up, she had moved to a different place. It was incredible. She seemed to fly over there while she was dreaming—she did not know how far she had gone and how she had gotten there.
Yunyan looked at the trees around her and the mountains in the distance. It was difficult to know what had happened. How could she have felt nothing?
She did not know the reason but could only suspect. There was an inexplicable feeling. It seemed that everything she experienced was caused by herself. It was mysterious and incredible.
Zhang Yunyan looked around and frowned in puzzlement. Why was the scenery here so familiar?
She whispered to herself while looking around. "Em? I seem to have been here before. It"s impressive. Where am I?"
As she looked around, Yunyan quickly realized that it was the place where she had met the sika deer. How could she return to this terrible place?
Was this the doing of the demon deer and the demon monkey? Would the two monsters not let go of her soul and plan to hurt her again?
