The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 413: Wish Each Other Well

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

People everywhere were restless that night. There was an indescribable anxiety in the air.

Both around the cities and in sparsely populated remote places, there were odd creatures appearing and emitting terrifying growls.

Previously, the stars and moon were shining brightly, but a dark red color emerged during the deep night and dyed the world red with a scarlet mist.

The world was restless and all creatures were agitated by the suppressive atmosphere.

One could see the gigantic silhouettes moving about within the folded spaces in the mountains. From time to time, they would raise their heads and roar. Even the night sky seemed to be trembling.

There were also fierce birds spreading their wings, their shadows covering the mountain peaks and surrounded by frightening baleful intent.

The most terrifying were the pairs of eyes lighting up within the folded spaces in the depths of the mountainous regions. Some of them were the size of normal eyes, while others were as big as lanterns. Bolts of lightning would flash through the pitch darkness as they blinked their eyes.

Behind the famed mountains were many star passages connecting towards different star systems. Presently, there were entities poised to charge through the barrier and cross over!

So much that some were already in action!

Some people had sensed intensely brilliant lights erupt within the vast mountains. They were like masses of divine flames.

Lights shot continuously through certain dark forests and mysterious ponds, lighting them up in the blink of an eye.

That night, both humans and beast race members were restless. Many were destined to lose sleep.

That was because a number of them knew that when the sun rose once again, the world as they knew it would cease to be the same.

Many individuals and organizations were secretly monitoring the situation with heavy hearts.

Naturally, there were also a great number of people who hadn’t noticed anything. Relatively speaking, they were fortunate because they were unaffected by the stifling atmosphere.

Many people were even discussing other cheerful matters.

For everyone, the incident on Mount Lao was very mysterious. It was something worth uncovering.

Although bits and pieces of news were already being circulated, the incident was still confusing. It was an evolvers dynasty! How could it be annihilated just like that?

Rumor had it that there were dozens of extremely high-level entities in their lineup. All of them were terrifying life forms.

But so many experts had transformed into the dust of history. It was frightening merely to imagine.

"Just what had happened? Did Chu Feng take action or did someone else do this?"

"Some say that a certain fairy came into being and buried the whole imperial dynasty, others say that Chu Feng ensnared and killed the group of extraterrestrials with unconventional methods such as domains."

Mount Lao’s incident was a bomb exploding in the deep sea. It erupted in enormous waves and shook the clouds in the skies apart. The effects were tremendous.

Not to mention other people, even the clairvoyant, the clairaudient, Ye Qingrou, and the others were flabbergasted.

During this battle on Mount Lao, the troops of the imperial dynasty were all wiped out and the tempest swept through the world.

If Chu Feng hadn’t switched off his communicator in advance, it would’ve exploded from all the ringing.

Certain organizations were paying special attention to the incident on Mount Lao. They monitored all the famed mountains and observed the folded space. They naturally noticed the changes were related to the shocking incident on Mount Lao.

The great powers understood more and naturally made relatively correct assumptions.

The Great Qi Dynasty’s annihilation caused the extraterrestrials on the other star passages to become restless. That was why they were poised to go all out and attempt to set foot on true earth. They were afraid of being attacked and blocked within the folded spaces.

This was a conclusion drawn by a certain agency.

Doubtlessly, certain powers and individuals of both human and beast race had communicated with the entities in the depths of the famed mountains. Otherwise, these people on the star passages wouldn’t have obtained the news immediately and become restless.

For instance, on Mount Yandang of the three mountains and five peaks, a group of extraterrestrial evolvers was hesitating.

"A small group of people had annihilated an entire dynasty’s forces? Why do I smell a conspiracy here? There are some surviving races on this planet with an extraordinary bloodline. Could they have acted in secret? If that is so, our future path might be obstructed."

"Even so, we can’t cross through the gate of death immediately. With our overly powerful spirit and constitution, we’ll be targeted by the planet’s will as soon as we cross over. We’ll let our descendants go in first."

There were also similar discussions taking place in other areas.

Dawn. Many people saw the follow-up news regarding Mount Lao as soon as they woke up.

Someone had leaked the details of the battle on Mount Lao. The annihilation of the evolutionary dynasty’s army was caused by Chu Feng working together with other people.

Some said that Lin Naoi from Deity Biomedicals possessed an ineffable inheritance and had worked together with Chu Feng to ensnare and kill the group of terrifying experts.

There were also some who claimed that the remnant race of earth appeared from the Himalayas and immortal islands to kill off the experts of Great Qi.

No matter the case, there were shadows of Chu Feng everywhere that couldn’t be ignored. This naturally caused many people to become alarmed and surprised.

People felt that part of the truth had already been revealed.

"This little granduncle isn’t just piercing through the sky, he’s trying to ascend to heaven and become a god." Beast race members like Xiong Kun and Hu Sheng were dumbfounded.

Even though they were mentally prepared, it was still hard for their hearts to endure this kind of shock. It seemed to them that Chu Feng’s movements each time were greater than the last.

That dawn, many people were discussing the incident on Mount Lao.

However, everyone was stunned when the various large websites and public media released a certain important news.

Extraterrestrials were falling like rain through every famed mountain and their passages.

This kind of news was universally shocking and shook the whole land. It caused huge tidal waves of astonishment in every area.

In truth, the major organizations were quite cautious and had monitored the situation the whole night. They investigated in detail and sought confirmation before coming to a conclusion that the outer realm entities were crossing over en masse!

Many ordinary people sensed the movements of wild beasts but they hadn’t expected such a great change!

The internet exploded. In reality, there were many people moving about on the street and there were silhouettes everywhere. Was the earth about to move down a different track within a single knight?

According to the observation of certain organizations, many entities had crossed over last night. Some were human-shaped, some were beasts, birds, etc. There were even some those with incomprehensible forms entering earth in large batches.

Among them, many burst into dazzling flames and disappeared eternally, but there were those who succeeded in getting through the life-death tribulation.

The world had been flipped upside down in the outside world and the entire world was discussing this matter. It was truly terrifying.

Away from Mount Lao on the distant sea, a different scene was playing out.

The sea had turned into a patch of brilliant golden fragments under the rosy glow of dawn. Chu Feng and Lin Naoi were boating in great leisure.

Chu Feng had just fished out a 100-kilogram sea turtle. At first, the turtle was furious and wanted to topple the raft but was immediately shocked after seeing Chu Feng.

"Sire demon king, please don’t eat me. We’re from the same side. I come from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and I work for the Dragoness. I even welcomed you when you visited the seabed last time."

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. The world was simply too small. A random creature he had fished up wasn’t just able to talk but was also someone he knew.

He no longer had the mood to fish after letting the turtle go. Instead, he gazed at the distant and somewhat ephemeral Lin Naoi.

This feeling was special. The two were clearly so close but he had a feeling that she would leave at any moment.

"Are you leaving?" He finally couldn’t resist the urge to ask.

Lin Naoi was silently bathing in the golden glow with a holy and transcendent temperament.

"Yes, I’m about to go far away," she replied honestly.

"For how long?"

"Very, very long. Perhaps a hundred years, a thousand or even ten thousand. Perhaps I might not even be able to return," said Lin Naoi.

Her oval-shaped face was fair and lustrous. Her brows were like a painting while her figure was slender and tall, her white clothes and her long hair fluttering in the wind as she gazed at the red sun. It almost seemed as if she were glowing.

Chu Feng glanced at her and couldn’t find anything to say.

A light breeze kicked up on the sea as the rosy glow below the rising sun glittered upon the ocean surface. In the distance, a giant whale leapt out of the sea as if it wasn’t willing to be trapped within the water and was hoping to fly away in the form of a roc.

Plop!

The whale dropped down and raised great waves which tore the silence to shreds.

"You’re going for so long?" Chu Feng asked.

"Yes, I’m about to leave. The energy pagoda I obtained belongs to an orthodoxy which originates from another end of the universe but was wiped out on earth. I inherited many things the moment I obtained it."

Lin Naoi spoke softly. She didn’t hide certain things from Chu Feng since she was about to leave and it was possible that she wouldn’t be able to return.

She had no idea what the future path would be like. So much so that the scenes she had witnessed within the energy pagoda were unimaginable. That ancient land is likely even farther away from the region controlled by the 100 most powerful stars. It was indescribable and extremely diverse.

And that was just a small glimpse of it.

Chu Feng realized how she kept gazing at the end of the stars the whole night. He couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.

He wanted to say that he would go with her to explore the unknown, but he wasn’t able to say that in the end. His parents were still here as well as other things.

If he went away out of impulse, what would happen to those related to him?

Lin Naoi’s expression was gentle as she glanced at him and said, "Take care."

It was actually him who should be saying this to her. Chu Feng suddenly said something out of impulse, "I’ll go with you."

"No!" Lin Naoi shook her head.

"In the future, I’ll step into the starry skies to see you," Chu Feng said thus.

Lin Naoi shook her head and smiled. "A parting doesn’t have to be so solemn. Let things go quietly. It’s enough for me that, when we look back many years later, we can find a sincere, touching and somewhat precious period. It can be considered an extremely precious memory that is worth cherishing."

She was very unconstrained and even more open-minded than a man. Perhaps it was her being reasonable after seeing the future. Perhaps it was that her self-control was very strong.

"I’m truly a mortal," said Chu Feng.

Lin Naoi adjusted her flowing hair and gently helped Chu Feng tidy up his windblown collar and said, "Let us wish each other well."

Chu Feng nodded.

Lin Naoi smiled and calmly put everything down.
