BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107 - 108: Lucky to Have You
The mountains loomed high and continuous, likely ten times more majestic than the proud North Mountains of the Ancestral Dragon City State.
But looking at the sky from the streets, those mountains appeared merely as wrinkles in a cloud.
The massive landmass at its edges revealed unimaginable chasms and faults; people stood on solid ground yet raised their heads to see the cross-section of a continent.
It was the rugged veins of the earth, the profound earth’s crust, the meteor dust mingling in the starry sky…
That dust, in the slow-moving process of the shocking continent, would rub against the atmosphere, wobble, and due to some tremendous celestial force, it would fall!!!
Even if it was just a very small piece of meteor dust, attached to a tiny part of those rugged veins, as they fell and streaked across the blue sky, they shone like splendid fiery stars, bringing about spectacular destruction!!!
People suddenly realized where the fire in the sky came from at that moment, but why did they shudder uncontrollably!!
The lack of daylight, where did it come from? People found the thought exceedingly terrifying.
Tens of thousands of people stood on the streets of Ancestral Dragon City State like statues, while their souls shattered and dispersed at the sight!!!
Fiery stars fell…
And there was the long night!
The anomalies in the heavens, a sign of divine retribution.
But who could have imagined that the true divine retribution would be a mysterious continent, slowly descending, slowly falling toward the western horizon!!!
It was this mysterious land, hovering in the sky, that obscured the proud sun, casting Eternal Darkness for an entire month.
It was the veins of this land that shook loose countless massive crystalline rocks, turning them into fiery stars of annihilation; not only the Ancestral Dragon City State was affected, but other city-states too did not escape…
But why, why did this happen!!
At the Deer Hua Building, Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi both leapt onto the eaves. They could be said to be standing in the tallest tower in Ancestral Dragon City State.
To the east, the sky was beautifully azure, and Ancestral Dragon City State seemed no different from usual, peaceful and serene.
But to the west, it was as if witnessing the terrifying scenes from the creation of the world, so horrifying that a few more glances would send shivers through one’s soul.
More important was that everyone understood how minuscule the current peace and serenity were.
And this insignificance would violently shatter everyone’s inner understanding!
Once understanding was upturned, they would forever live in the fear of being small!!!
“So the Ancestral Dragon City State has cleared up, while Lingxiao City State to the west and the other smaller city-states have begun to enter Eternal Darkness…” Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.
Their souls were gone, only able to reason in a pitiful way.
“Is this how Wutu came about?” At last, Li Yunzi voiced this thought.
Where Wutu came from had always troubled Li Yunzi.
Hovering above the Void Sea, is it really so?
Probably even those living on Wutu weren’t clear about this. In their eyes, they might as well assume that Ancestral Dragon City State, Li Chuan Plain came floating from another, broader and more fertile continent, mysteriously bordering their own land!
Zhu Minglang turned his head, gazing at Li Yunzi.
And Li Yunzi was also looking at him.
In Ancestral Dragon City State, everyone was in fear, kneeling and praying for something.
Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi stood firm on the high building’s eaves, integrating the fragmented known facts in their hearts, drawing a complete picture of the truth!
The truth was that the emergence of Wutu was not accidental.
Li Yunzi also pondered the shape of the world.
When Wutu appeared at the end of the city to the east, she speculated boldly that this world might be composed of lands floating in the Void Sea…
These lands would slowly move and, at certain times and epochs, link up with other lands to form a larger territory.
With Wutu, it meant there were other lands that one day would emerge in the Void Sea and ultimately, like magnets, cling tightly together.
But never in her wildest dreams did Li Yunzi imagine the continents in the sky.
That they would fall like stars.
When Wutu appeared, Ancestral Dragon City State and the southeastern city-states also experienced an eclipse. The night ruled over the following day’s morning and noon, only near the twilight of the afternoon, did everything return to normal.
But this time, the night lasted an entire month.
Li Yunzi gazed at the sky, her eyes showing a dimness and sorrow Zhu Minglang had never seen before.
“Is this the reason that has been troubling you all along?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Yes,” Li Yunzi nodded.
Even in victory, that anxiety never dissipated.
As absurd as it was, Li Yunzi had told her own people and Elder Nan more than once that there would be other lands drifting over from the Void Sea, but they all thought her actions ludicrous. The fact proved her right.
But she had foreseen it wrong.
The land came from the sky.
Like a meteor falling, yet unlike a meteor in its transient brilliance, touching the earth it only left a burnt crater…
They would crash into the Void Sea like Wutu, and then slowly border some far end of this land!
“Thank you for joining me to appreciate the willows and taste tea, I must go now,” Li Yunzi said, bowing to Zhu Minglang.
“Yunzi…” Zhu Minglang wanted to hold her back, he had some words he wanted to say.
Li Yunzi shook her head, not letting Zhu Minglang continue.
Everything was not yet over.
When a vast city-state could no longer offer a sense of security to anyone, any tenderness was only as fleeting as a blossoming cactus flower, as clouds dispelled by a single gust of wind.
Li Yunzi didn’t want these things.
Rather than indulging in brief warmth before a painful loss, she’d rather use all she had to preserve them before they were lost.
She wanted longevity.
“I will guard everything well,” she said.
“Minglang, I am fortunate it’s you…”
After saying this, Li Yunzi stepped onto the high eaves of the Ancestral Dragon City buildings and flew westward.
Her figure elegant as a wild goose, the sky to the west dark as an abyss, Zhu Minglang foolishly watched the gradually receding beauty, his heart as if ink spilled into a pool, the myriad colors each representing different flavors, spreading in the originally clear pool of his heart.
Indescribable and inexplicable.
So intimate yet as if they were just acquainted.
Even though their skins had touched, there still seemed to be a layer of gauze between them.
Just as he was about to lift the gauze, the overwhelming gloom veiled everything again, never to see her peerless elegance once more.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Minglang looked up at the Mysterious Continent to the west so majestic in the sky, his eyes filled with a bit more indifference. “No matter what you came for, you better not make my wife sad,” he said. “Otherwise, I will grind you into dust once again!”
Just now, Zhu Minglang had wanted to tell Li Yunzi the secret he had been hiding.
He knew where Wutu truly came from.
Because it was he who had shattered a piece of the Veins of the Earth of the Mysterious Continent in the western sky.
Allowing the once secluded Wutu to plummet into the Void Sea.
Zhu Minglang thought he would never find the way back, that he would be lost on this unfamiliar continent.
But the world he once lived in passed over the sky of Ancestral Dragon City, slowly falling towards the west.
He had heard about worlds falling apart before.
The Supreme Court Courtyard Continent had been falling towards a certain place for many years…
That place was the Li Chuan Continent where Ancestral Dragon City was located.
He shattered the Veins of the Earth and caused Wutu to fall into the Void Sea prematurely.
Thus, Wutu bordered the Li Chuan Continent even earlier than expected..
