Chapter 1821 — Your Name
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Though Wuji could not undo the red-thread knot of the Miluo Palace Master, her power had already begun to seep through, leaving him unable to borrow any strength. Ahead, the River of Chaos suddenly surged, growing incomparably violent.
A blaze of light burst from the Annihilation Tribulation--a new world was being born within it! Someone was using the Heaven-Opening Art inside the Tribulation, forcibly tearing heaven and earth to evolve a small universe. That small universe, once born, looked dazzling amid the Tribulation.
In the River of Chaos, one magnificent light after another rose; one small universe after another emerged from the vast river.
The Heaven-Opening Host, who had opened the cosmos together with the Lord of Tiandu in the Seventh Era, had appeared.
At the same time, Shen Mu saw the World Tree at the center of the great annihilation. Its leaves were like resplendent heavens, its branches and roots like the Great Dao unveiling itself.
Old Man Wuya stood under the tree.
In the distance, the Jade Capital City of the Fifteenth Era appeared; behind its ruined and broken walls, Dao trees grew in a forest, lush and verdant, and Dao fruits of every kind gave off different Dao might! From the River of Chaos drifted many shattered Daluo Heavens. In some, Dao trees swayed, and indistinct Dao-achievers stood amid them.
Besides these, there were all sorts of strange Dao soldiers, formed into colossal constructs--forces that belonged neither to the Miluo Palace's Heaven-Opening Host nor to Old Man Wuya!
Shen Mu steadied himself and smiled at Ling Yuxiu. "Wife, is there anything more you want to say to Lingyun? " Ling Yuxiu understood.
Hugging Shen Lingyun, she kissed her face and murmured, "Child, remember your name. You are Shen Lingyun.
You are Shen Lingyun! Your father is Shen Mu; your mother is Ling Yuxiu.
One day your father will find you, and he will call your name. " Suddenly she lifted Shen Lingyun up and thrust her before Shen Mu.
"Shen Mu, you must find her! " she said sharply, and in an instant flung Shen Lingyun out of the golden ship. "Do not worry! " Shen Mu shouted. Shen Lingyun fell toward the River of Chaos.
One after another, mighty figures in the river flew after her, fighting to seize her.
At that very moment, a leaf of Shen Mu's Guixu Lotus tore away from the lotus flower, rolled up the swaddled Shen Lingyun, and shot off with a howl! Shen Mu took Ling Yuxiu's hand and rose to his feet.
He stamped heavily, and the golden ship flew out behind Shen Lingyun, hurtling along the rivers of chaos.
Immediately, countless powerful figures, treading the river surface, chased madly after the golden ship and that lotus leaf! Shen Mu and Ling Yuxiu landed on the lotus platform, their faces ashen, and walked along the river toward the Sixteenth Era.
"One day, I will put every last one of you rotten remnants into coffins! One day!
" The Guixu lotus leaf carried Shen Lingyun in a frantic flight, passing through one River of Chaos after another. Lady Nanxiang was making her way back when she saw the leaf flying toward her, with the golden ship behind it.
She was startled, but the leaf already flew past and disappeared into the boundless chaos mist. Then the river's surface boiled.
Mighty beings chased after, and the River of Chaos nearly seethed! Those strong ones swept past her with a roar, leaving Lady Nanxiang dumbfounded.
"What happened? " The Guixu lotus leaf and the golden ship reached the Annihilation Tribulation of the First Era.
Suddenly the leaf rose from the river, and the golden ship also leapt from the river. The leaf placed Shen Lingyun on the ship. The golden ship sharply turned and, in full view of the pursuing strong ones, carried Shen Lingyun and plunged headlong into the River of Chaos! "No!
" Dao voices rang out. Then one figure after another fell into the river.
In the First Era, the universe was already showing signs of the great annihilation.
