Chapter 279 Returning to the Sea
Azure light surrounded him, and divine power spread out, blocking the black mist. Amidst thunderous roars, the mist rose with the water curtain, then transformed into spiritual energy and returned to the earth from the dark clouds.
...
On the way south, Shui Du, who was escorting the carriage away, looked up at the dark sky. Rain fell on his face, carrying the scent of the sea. After sensing the power contained within the rain, Shui Du's expression turned sad.
The king is using his power to cleanse the source race's power.
"What a heavy rain." The carriage curtain was lifted, and before Shui Du could compose herself, she met a pair of blank eyes.
"Young Master Bai," Shui Du said calmly, "this rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, so we should lower the curtain to prevent rainwater from getting in."
Baijiu looked at Shuidu without saying a word.
He felt sadness.
"Ajiu," Bai Qingjue called out, "put it down."
Baijiu gave a soft "hmm" and lowered the curtain.
The carriage was quiet; no one spoke.
Everyone knows that this rain is depleting the power of the Golden Day.
As for Jinzhou, it has not yet recovered. After this rain, no one knows what will happen to Jinzhou.
Compared to the worries of others about Jin Zhou, Bai Qingjue felt even more solemn. Whether it was the Origin Clan or the gods, they should all be in the Land of Divine Disappearance. Why would Jin Zhou appear?
If it is time for the return of the gods, will other gods gradually appear?
If not, then why does the Golden Day appear? Is it related to the Heavenly Evolution?
Bai Qingjue had many doubts in her mind, so when it was time to work in the evening, she didn't rush to get busy, but instead summoned the Water Mirror.
Ripples appeared on the water mirror, and Tianyan's figure appeared in the water mirror. Upon seeing Tianyan, Bai Qingjue said before he could speak, "The new puppet is almost ready."
Tian Yan said calmly, "Alright."
Bai Qingjue looked at Tian Yan: "Tian Yan, what am I in your eyes?"
In the water mirror, Tianyan looked down at Bai Qingjue: "The last surviving member of the divine race."
“As an orphan of the divine race, I should know about matters related to the gods,” Bai Qingjue said. “Why did Jin Zhou appear?”
As soon as Bai Qingjue spoke, Tianyan knew what he wanted to ask, and said in a very indifferent tone: "I don't know."
Bai Qingjue was taken aback by this answer.
In the silence, Tianyan's voice rang out again: "Bai Qingjue, you know the characteristics of the Origin Clan. Don't try to pry too much. Unless you can make sure that you won't be controlled by the Origin Clan, everything you care about will be discovered by them."
In response to Bai Qingjue's question, Tianyan denied it, but this statement serves as an explanation for his denial.
After Bai Qingjue understood, she didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "I will tell you when the puppet is finished."
"Hmm," Tianyan responded, then cut off the connection.
...
The carriage traveled south, and on the third day it completely left the central area and entered the southern area.
The rain was still falling, but the sky was no longer so gloomy. The power of the Origin Clan had been largely cleansed by the three days of heavy rain. This rain would continue until the power of the Origin Clan that filled the sea kingdom completely disappeared.
"Gentlemen, we have arrived in the Southern District. I must take my leave now." Shui Du stood outside the carriage, looking at the people inside through the carriage window: "The King asked me to tell you that after leaving the Southern District, it will not be long before we arrive at Mengzhou."
"I wish you all a safe journey, and I hope we'll meet again someday." With that, Shui Du departed, riding the waves.
After leaving the ferry, the carriage continued south, eventually stopping in the southern sea.
At that time, the heavy rain had been falling for six days in a row, and neither the power of the Yuan Clan nor the shadows remained in the Southern District.
Ling Yi stepped down from the carriage and stopped at the seaside, looking at the churning seawater with a cold expression.
Ye Qingshuang walked over and stopped next to Ling Yi: "I can't feel it at all in the South District anymore. Xiao Zhou is amazing."
"Mm," Ling Yi responded without saying anything more.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Ye Qingshuang didn't say anything more, but sat down on a rock and quietly kept her company.
Seeing this, the others came over, some standing and some sitting, quietly keeping him company.
And so the group went, from dusk till night, and then to the dawn of the next day. As day broke, the heavy rain that had lasted for seven days finally stopped. Under the still dim sky, beams of light flew from the southern district and headed toward the sea.
Ling Yi, who had been standing all night, finally made a move, looking up at the beams of light, as did the others.
The sounds of the tides and joyful songs rose again, and the lights fell into the sea to the accompaniment, like fish finally returning home, rushing joyfully and impatiently into the depths of the ocean.
Ling Yi's gaze followed the light back to the sea. The Destiny Stone residing in his soul released a dazzling light. When the light dissipated, a golden-haired merman with a golden tail appeared in the Destiny Stone.
Jin Zhou returned to the size he was when he emerged from his belly, and lay with his eyes closed in the Destiny Stone.
Ling Yi stood there for a long time, not knowing whether he was looking at the souls of the merfolk returning to the sea, or at the golden day in the Destiny Stone.
As dawn broke and a gate rose from the sea ahead, Ling Yi said, "It's time to go."
Ye Qingshuang put away the carriage: "There will be restrictions once we go out; we can't use the carriage anymore."
"Little Golden Tiger," Ling Yi called out.
The little golden tiger immediately flew out of Baijiu's arms and grew larger on the beach.
Ye Qingshuang put away the carriage and climbed onto the back of the little golden tiger with the others. Just as Ling Yi was about to get on, a voice called out, "Wait!"
