Chapter 1821 — Your Name
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Miluo Palace Master had built the golden ship, intending to ferry all sentient beings across the Tribulation.
In a mountain village, a lotus leaf drifted down. A baby girl staggered from the leaf and stared blankly at the world about to be destroyed. She was a little lost.
Earth, water, wind, and fire gushed about; people were everywhere, fleeing disaster. She survived stubbornly.
A voice in her head always told her that her name was Shen Lingyun, that she had a father and mother, but her memories of them grew fainter and fainter.
By the time she was five or six, she displayed extraordinary gifts, yet in the great annihilation her gifts were useless.
She fled with the refugees, watching familiar faces fall one by one beside her and turn to ash. She survived, in rags, but the lotus leaf still followed her, accompanying her through one peril after another.
One day, everyone around her had died, leaving her alone. She looked at the ruined world.
Earth, water, wind, and fire surged.
In the flames, mighty figures were walking toward her. "At last, we have found her. .
. " A voice in the fire laughed like a sob.
Just then, the world in its death throes suddenly froze, and the powerful, distorted figures in the flames slowed to a crawl. A tall figure parted the fire and walked toward her.
The figure gradually became clear. His temples were grey, his face bore three eyes, and his gaze was warm.
He came straight to her.
"Found you. " His voice gave Shen Lingyun a familiar feeling; the hazy voice in her memory was woken.
"Found you, my child.
" The man lifted her up, kissed her face, and tears filled his three eyes. "Shen Lingyun, my child.
Your father is Shen Mu; your mother is Ling Yuxiu. Your father turned into chaos and crossed a hundred billion years of history to find you. For you, only a few years have passed; for him, billions of years of the Seventeenth Era have passed.
" He lifted Shen Lingyun up and set her on his shoulder.
"O daughter of Chaos, from this day forth, your name shall be branded upon the future! "
