Chapter 977 — The Far Side of Nothingness
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The environment of the Great Void had grown harsher and harsher. Creators could command nature according to their own will, but after the Tai Emperor's ravages the Great Void was filled with masterless divine consciousness and Great Void monsters, and had become nearly uninhabitable for Creators. These must have been the last batch of Creators in the Great Void Land; they had fled here, leaving behind the corpses of countless clansmen.
"The migration of the Great Void Creators must have taken place around the time the Tai Emperor was killed, that is, the middle and late Longhan Era.
" Shen Mu mused, "In that age the Heavenly Court knew nothing of another world, nor of a bloody war. The only one who knew was Yun Tianzun.
" For some reason the Tai Emperor had blood-washed the Great Void Land; Yun Tianzun must have come here and, together with the Great Void Creators, devised a trap to confine the Tai Emperor unto death in the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. "But why should Yun Tianzun's mortal body appear in the Tai Emperor's brow?
" Shen Mu was somewhat doubtful. Yun Tianzun ought not to have died in that battle, but in the struggle for dominion over the Heavenly Court; his body could not possibly have appeared here.
Moreover, the bloodline curse of the Yun family should also have been planted by the Creators at the time of Yun Tianzun's death, and by then the Tai Emperor had long since died in the Great Void.
He sighed. The more secrets he knew, the more doubts filled his heart.
Though he had been to the Longhan Era, it still hung before his eyes like a fog. There were too many doubts he wished to ask Yun Tianzun to resolve.
"Once I leave the Great Void Land, I will borrow the power of the Lord of Heaven and Tubo to revive Yun Tianzun.
" Shen Mu looked ahead and saw the edge of the Great Void Land; beyond the end of the Great Void Land lay the endless dark void, with no more land.
The last gathering place of the Creators that Yue Tingge had spoken of was built there: rude walls, a towering altar, and upon the altar a few broken lights flickering.
Those Great Void Creators must have made another void here, the void bridges linking the worlds they had created, and migrated into that world.
Shen Mu and Luo Wushuang came to the gathering place. It had long since been emptied, with only the ancient altar left.
The light upon the altar was an intermittent bridge, leading who knew where; the void bridge was very unstable, the bridge of light collapsing from time to time and re-forming from time to time, and beyond the bridge was a scene of doomsday. Shen Mu frowned, studying the void bridge and reckoning how he might cross it, when suddenly he saw that at the far end of the void bridge a woman was crossing.
Around the woman was a scene of world-annihilating ruin, the void twisting and collapsing, terrible beyond words, and behind her floated one heavenly palace after another, forming a fragmentary Heavenly Court, as she made to cross the void and reach the far shore of the void bridge. "Xutianzun!
" Luo Wushuang said in a low voice.
