Qinghua sobbed, "I heard..."
Poof!
In an instant, a short dagger pierced into Little Nagging Old Lady’s abdomen.
Bam!
Qinghua was immediately pushed away, crashing into the study’s large door, then falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Little Nagging Old Lady stepped back a few paces, collapsing back into the reclining chair, her breath turning chaotic.
She had not been unprepared for Qinghua’s problems; she had seen many Holy Daughters affected by chaotic prophecies and knew their actions were uncontrollable. While caring for Qinghua, she hadn’t relaxed her own defenses.
With Qinghua’s strength, it shouldn’t have been possible to harm her.
But just at that moment, divine murmurs suddenly descended by her ears, chaotic prophecies she hadn’t heard personally in ages... and she had severed that connection long ago!
The chaotic prophecy assaulted her mental defenses, leaving her momentarily dazed.
That’s how Qinghua managed to stab her with a dagger.
That dagger was coated with some unidentifiable, eerie substance. She could feel a strange power swiftly invading her body...
Was I wrong? she thought.
A wisp of evening breeze blew in, shaking the candlelight throughout the study, casting a dim glow over the bookshelves.
It swirled around, passing over the white-haired old woman slumped in the reclining chair, and the beautiful woman unsteadily rising by the door, then flew out of the house.
Compared to the outer environment, the Divine Shade Land was indeed fresh and bright.
Yet the nights here remained tranquil, where no one dared walk outside without lighting the Divine Dragon incense.
Divine dragon wood stretched into the distance, each branch bearing a fruit house, a warm home.
No place in the entire Forest sea source realm perhaps showcased such lights of ten thousand homes.
The evening breeze gently strolled through the uninhabited woods.
It happened to pass by a window...
Inside the fruit house, the decor was cozy, the candlelight warm.
A lovely girl sat before a dressing table, while her beautiful mother undid her braids. A man in another corner of the room was earnestly sharpening arrow shafts with a little knife.
Tonight’s sleep and tomorrow’s hunt, that’s how the days flowed by.
To avoid inadvertently pulling her daughter’s hair too hard, the mother’s movements were delicate and gentle.
The girl, a bit sleepy from waiting, looked at her reflection, yawned... her drowsy eyes suddenly widened in fear.
Her mother’s eyes in the mirror, once beautiful and gentle, were suddenly filled with bloodshot veins!
The girl felt her hair being yanked taut, her head unwittingly pulled back...
Screams and cries, as confined within the fruit house, remained trapped with the candlelight, unable to break into the night.
And the night flowed like water, turning from the Dong family to the West family.
In this rather aged fruit house, an elderly woman leaned against the bedhead, face kindly.
A sturdy-looking man, holding a bowl of meat soup, sat by the bed, feeding her spoonful by spoonful.
The murkiness in his eyes, at some unknown point, crawled with bloodshot veins.
The old woman’s mouth clamped shut, snapping the porcelain spoon!
"Mother!" the man exclaimed in shock, reaching to pry the spoon from her mouth, preventing her from swallowing it.
But a withered hand already clasped his throat...
This was an extraordinary night.
Anyone who had been a Holy Daughter of the Green, who had ever listened to the prophecies, regardless of whether they had ever acted out of order, all underwent transformation on this night.
It should be said that when Little Fan Priest initially decided to select a Holy Daughter of the Green to replace her in listening to the prophecies, she should have anticipated possible consequences.
The safest choice, of course, was to secretly eliminate all the retired Holy Daughters. In that way, whatever issues the chaotic prophecies posed would not become problems.
But Little Fan Priest did not choose that path.
She would rather spend ten years screening, waiting even longer.
The cause of yesterday led to the fruit of today.
...
...
In the distant sky, the Yuheng Star had already vanished.
In every night of the Forest sea source realm, it begrudged its light.
It signifies day and night.
Yet in a pair of eyes penetrating through time, it still shone brightly in that direction, growing ever brighter.
The vast boundless Sea of Origin was stirring with furious waves.
A golden Divine Dragon leaped within, fiercely fighting its opponents. It had two enemies, one in front, one behind. The one blocking in front was an awkwardly tall giant tree, its whipping branches shaking the entire Sea of Origin.
The one obstructing from behind was a handsome white-robed monk, holding a verdant divine staff. ƒrēewebnovel.com
This golden Divine Dragon was, of course, the Dragon God.
To contain two in this world origin sea, simultaneously suppressing the world will of the Forest sea source realm, and taking the divine authority of the true god of Senhai from Guan Yan... the might of the Dragon God was evident.
Yet, this was not its true power. Perhaps wary of a desperate counterattack by the world will of the Forest sea source realm, perhaps unfamiliar with Guan Yan, unwilling to take risks.
In any case, the Dragon God firmly controlled the balance of the battle, neither retreating further nor pressing harder.
This subtle balance made the battle seem very tense.
In opposing the Dragon God.
Guan Yan and the world will of the Forest sea source realm clearly had a certain tacit understanding, maintaining coordination as best they could, but it was not a harmonious coordination.
They were each on their own side, fighting their own battles.
The world will is but a vague term, unable to entirely equate to the intelligence of a living being.
The world will of the Forest sea source realm, its behavioral logic closer to some instinct... instinctively protecting the Forest sea source realm, instinctively reacting to hostility, counterattacking against intrusion.
Yet it cannot be said to be completely devoid of wisdom. It is just that the "thinking" of the world will cannot equate to the thinking of intelligent life forms in a general sense.
