Chapter 1395 — Holding Each Other in Check

"Mother, I have often hated you for being a Creator."

Divine Emperor Langxuan's figure withdrew, runes flying and tumbling around him. His too was the reverse summoning divine art.

He had not learned the reverse summoning divine art from Shen Mu. Rather, he had obtained the summoning art from Earth Mother and deduced the rest himself.

"Had you not been a Creator, the Heavenly Emperor would not have killed you, and I would not be a bastard son."

His reverse summoning divine art differed somewhat from Shen Mu's, yet it was exquisitely wondrous as well. His runes formed dao chains, and the dao chains were like countless knotted goose feathers, drowning him.

"All my life I have known that I bear an incomparably noble birth, yet because of your identity I have had to conceal my own. For if I revealed it, I could only die!"

Divine Emperor Langxuan's figure vanished, but his voice remained behind: "I ought to have been the Crown Prince. This world ought to have been mine! Celestial Master Hao, Xie Wuqi, every one of them is no more than a younger brother; I alone am the true Crown Prince! It is because of you that I could only hide my name and live as a bastard son..."

Celestial Master Gong was silent. She watched him go and did not stop him.

"I truly should never have given birth to you." She flicked her sleeve. Hers too was the reverse summoning divine art, and she departed from the back of the Ancestral Court.

She returned to the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains, and saw that the sand in the hourglass had not yet finished falling. Celestial Master Gong put away the hourglass, and beneath the gazes of Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua and the others, drifted lightly away.
