Chapter 666 — The Crimson Emperor's Brain
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The giant infant, endlessly curious, peered through the eye at Shen Mu's brow at the Crimson Emperor's Brain, drooling.
Suddenly, the violent torrent of messages from the Crimson Emperor's Brain surged in, pouring all at once into his brain! "What ghost is scheming against me? " The giant infant was startled. The violent torrent of messages rushed madly into his mind and pinned him there. At the same time, the pressure on Shen Mu eased greatly, while the First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, bled from all seven orifices; his palm loosened of itself and he fell straight back, unconscious.
The Divine Son Chiming sighed softly. "You cannot bear the messages in the Crimson Emperor's Brain either. Of course. Your cultivation and strength are a notch below mine, and even I cannot bear them, much less you. " He raised his hand, and in his hand was a transparent glove.
When he had touched the Crimson Emperor's Brain just now, he had touched it through the glove, and so had not been affected by it.
"But as for Libationer Shen. .
. " The Divine Son Chiming's gaze flickered; his three eyes opened together and fell upon Shen Mu. His voice was strange: "How have you held out until now without fainting? But it no longer matters. You have fallen into the thought-maze of the Crimson Emperor's Brain; I fear you will not wake again.
" He raised his hand lightly, and the unconscious First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, floated up. The Divine Son Chiming turned and walked outward, and the First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, floated behind him.
"I have seen men like you.
It is impossible for you to submit to me. Even if in the future the Emperor of Jingping fails in his reforms and dies, you will not submit to me either; you will only go to aid Princess Yuxiu.
" He walked out of the holy hall, his gaze deep and far. He said softly, "You will not die, but once your thought merges with the Crimson Emperor's thought, you will be trapped in the Crimson Emperor's maze.
Even if you walk out of it in the future, by then you will find that the world of that future is not the world in your memory, and the people of that future will not be the people you know now. . .
" He stepped downward. Just then, a faint ripple suddenly came from within the holy hall. The Divine Son Chiming was slightly startled and turned his head to look at the doorway of the holy hall.
The holy hall suddenly went dim, and Shen Mu's astonished voice came: "Gone?
How could that be. . . First Ancestor?
Divine Son? Where are you.
. . no one.
. . time to slip away! " The Divine Son Chiming saw Shen Mu sneaking furtively out of the holy hall. Seeing him just outside, the Libationer Shen's furtive manner vanished at once. The Divine Son Chiming's expression changed slightly.
At once he threw the First Ancestor to the ground, and with a flash of his body he was already inside the holy hall.
When he saw the Crimson Emperor's Brain, his hands and feet went cold, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
The Crimson Emperor's Brain had gone out!
