The Ancient Gods' Whisper
Chapter 1159 - 541: Candle Dragon Venerable, Su Xiang
Skylark had been planning for this moment for so many years. She was originally the most beautiful woman in the world, especially under the radiance of the Candle Light Divine Tree. That enchanting yet holy beauty almost swelled to the extreme, with the wind rising fiercely beneath the tree, her skirt fluttering in the breeze.
Dragon Blood seeped from her palm, leaving a bloody mark on the cracked trunk.
The totems of Dragon and Phoenix alternately spread across the ancient tree.
Visions flooded before her eyes, while the sound of Dragon Roar echoed in her ears.
An ancient desolate city, bathed in the fiery glow of the setting sun, enveloping a majestic Golden Divine Tree. This ancient tree stood at the highest point of the altar, beneath which divine-like men and women swore oaths with their blood, and below them were countless fervent Believers!
The shadows of Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird loomed in the sky, coldly overlooking the human world.
The crown of that Golden Ancient Tree burned like the Sun, casting a noble Shadow upon the earth. A strange human face emerged on the trunk, silently smiling.
At this moment, a tremendous pain surged into her mind. She felt as if she was being invaded by another soul within, with countless memories not belonging to her flooding her mind.
Vast snowfall, footprints disappearing in the snow, an empty room and family that seem never to have existed. The flower withering in the courtyard, the old tree perishing in the wind and snow, a cold world where she was alone. Everything she looked at was burning, the roar of war, the taste of blood drifting in the wind, a century of solitude rushing like a tide.
Dragon Roar.
Dragon Roar echoing through the soul.
The little girl in the deepest recesses of memory covered her ears, yet there was nowhere to escape.
This was Skylark’s Nightmare, haunting her throughout her life.
The fear had never been so intense.
"At first, we were such fragile humans too."
The voice of Vermilion Bird Venerate sounded behind her: "We went through life, abandoned our humanity, and ascended to Godhood, a great rebirth. Yet, due to Father God and Mother God’s design, we were born cursed, enduring the pain of imperfection. The Third Law, which we found as the answer, is a process of cultivating this Supreme Law, another greater rebirth."
Skylark held her forehead and glanced back, this guy indeed had undergone Nirvana Rebirth again, standing behind her without any intention to intervene.
"Actually, you don’t need to intervene because I won’t stop you."
Vermilion Bird Venerate said expressionlessly: "To awaken Father God, it requires both of our strengths. As for the struggle for dominance, I am already ahead of you."
The Candle Light Divine Tree shook violently, its crown shining brightly like the Sun, the radiance piercing through the void mist, casting a noble outline on the desolate earth!
That seemed to be a person.
Skylark could almost feel the gaze from the tree top looking down at her.
"Millions of years ago, Father God should have died at our hands too, but during that fierce war, my sister and I both felt a summon from beyond."
Vermilion Bird Venerate spoke indifferently: "That was Father God’s summon, we are all Supreme beings of Candle Light lineage. In our Mother Star where we were born, he played the role of a father. Father God did not want to perish under Qilin’s fury, so he opened a new Evolution Path for us."
The eyes Skylark covered flashed with blood-red lightning, her ink-dyed long hair fluttering in the wind. Even with a splitting headache, she was not the type to show weakness to the enemy, just feeling this scene somewhat familiar in memories that were not hers, as if they had stood together under the tree millions of years ago.
"Life of Constant Star level."
She whispered.
She didn’t even know how she knew it. Since coming to this ancient tree, her body seemed beyond control, visions overlapping before her eyes.
She could even see a woman exactly like herself staring at her.
Those eyes, shrouded in thunder and lighting, were so cruel and cold.
The eyes of Vermilion Bird Venerate showed a slight sigh, spreading his hands: "Yes, completing the Third Law, ascending to truly eternal life, all-knowing and all-powerful, transcending destiny. Of course, we couldn’t see that this was Father God’s plot or his expedient, ultimately sparking his desire to complete himself, even devour us."
"But we don’t care, whether my sister or I have the confidence to win against him."
He paused: "But before that, we must first defeat Qilin."
With a snap.
Vermilion Bird Venerate snapped his fingers.
Skylark forcibly pulled herself from the visions, seeing the majestic Golden Divine Tree above shining with complex lights, sunlight reversing and refracting in the fog, seemingly constructing the most profound and complex patterns in the world, hiding the truths of the Universe.
The fierce sunlight, like countless curved branches, instantly spread to every corner of this Dead Star, with billions of Light Cocoons hanging under the branches.
Within each Light Cocoon slept a soul!
They were male, female, old, young, some with monstrous deformed faces, others as beautiful as Heavenly Persons, some in tattered clothes, and others in regal robes!
This is the essence of the Inheritance Path.
It turns out that the power of the Ancient God Clan could be transmitted because of the Primordial power.
