567: The Disaster

The Disaster

"No, I bear no guilts nor sins!", the Fuxi god's atman laughed satirically, "The Fuxi Celestial Race's defeat is an unfair treatment from the heaven, if even the heaven is unjust, what sins do I have?"

"Fuxi, I say, you are guilty!", the beast clawed the Fuxi god and ate him. It then pointed toward another Fuxi god and asked again, "Do you plead guilty?"

Zhong Yue was expressionless, he looked around and noticed Mother Da Zhen hiding herself in the blind spot of the nefarious beast. He thought, So I'm right, Mother Da Zhen is also here even though she did not walk on the bridge.

Meanwhile, Mother Da Zhen's eyes was filled with terror and her face was pallid as she looked at the human face, sheep body beast.

Then, she noticed Zhong Yue looking at her. The young man returned her with a smile and that made her thinking, This little brat of the Zhong Shan Clan, he has really gone crazy, even worse than me!

The trial was ongoing, the Fuxi gods were eaten away one after another by the peculiar beast.

Soon after, it's finger has pointed toward Zhong Yue, asking the same question again, "Do you plead guilty?"

Zhong Yue smiled, he said, "Yes, I do."

The peculiar beast startled, it didn't expect to hear such an answer. It quickly flipped the book in front of it on the table and suddenly, the peculiar beast gave a cold hum, "It's you! Patriarch Nature is looking for you! Patriarch Nature, I invite you to come over, the Fuxi you are looking for is here!"

The palace shook violently and it shattered into parts. It was then revealed that the palace was floating the air, there wasn't anything out there other than an endless space of darkness.

A huge face slowly flew toward the palace and grew larger as it draws nearer. It was Patriarch Nature. He scrutinized Zhong Yue from tip to toe and smirked while saying, "Child, can you still escape from me now?"

"I have already plead guilty, why would I still run away?", Zhong Yue raised his head and laughed back at Patriarch Nature, he said, "You can come and get me anytime you want."

The face flew around him and said casually, "The Fuxi are all dead, how can you still be alive? I really do wonder very much. Well then, let me extract your soul and search through your memories…"

A huge hand suddenly appeared in the darkness but before it could reach to Zhong Yue, a wave of river water came out of nowhere and swallowed Zhong Yue along with Mother Da Zhen away.

When Zhong Yue came back to his senses again, he was still standing on the bridge. He gave a cold hum and shook his head while moving forward. Soon after, Mother Da Zhen held a pallid face and walked on the bridge following a distance behind Zhong Yue.

The bridge was real long, it took a while for the two of them to reach to the other end. When Zhong Yue stepped out from the bridge, the darkness that obstructed his vision has slowly faded away and the surroundings have gotten clearer.

Mother Da Zhen has also walked out from the bridge, she glanced around and startled, "It looks kind of familiar here…"

She was right, there was the divine gold mining site and a floor paved with skeletons and bones. Zhong Yue looked around for an eye and continued moving forward. Soon after, he suddenly stopped and looked at a pitch-black log, there was a little hole on it with the divine golds glimmering faintly in it.

It was a divine tree that was fading in spiritual energy!

Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and walked forward. Mother Da Zhen quickly followed behind while the terror in her has unwittingly caused her to walk closer to him. The more she looked around, the stronger the fear brewed in her heart.

Suddenly, she stared on the ground vacantly and exclaimed in a quivering voice, "Footsteps… my own footsteps…"

She looked behind and saw nothing but an endless darkness and the faint figure of a bridge.

"Zhong Shan Clan member, we were here before!", Mother Da Zhen shouted.

Zhong Yue looked back and was dawned, he said, "Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. So it's not saying that the city gate will be closed Ancestral Star stop you from leaving after you enter the city. Instead, it means that even if you have reach to the end of the road, there will still be no way to leave at all."

"Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. And when the Disaster arrives, all that is left of you will only be your bones.", Zhong Yue thought of the sentence written on the city wall.

So it seemed like the gods have reached to this stage and have been through the same situation they are in now, that's why the gods have left the words behind.

Nevertheless, Zhong Yue continued moving forward. Mother Da Zhen had no choice but to follow. Soon after, she was already walking right behind Zhong Yue, her body was shivering in fear.

While right at this moment, she saw a silhouette walking toward the City of Nature.

It was another Zhong Yue!

Whereas in front of that Zhong Yue, there was another Mother Da Zhen, the same her when she enters the City of Nature!

She witnessed herself walking toward the city!

Meanwhile, that Mother Da Zhen has already reached to the front of the city gate and she watched as herself walking into the city. A cold chill was sent down along her spine and she quickly shouted, "Don't go in, don't! It's dangerous!"

Her voice was quivering in fear but incredibly loud as she was shouting at the top of her lungs. However, the other Zhong Yue and herself seemed to be oblivious of her warnings.

After seeing herself walking into the City of Nature, the other Zhong Yue has also arrived at the front of the city gate.

"Don't go in—", she shouted while dashing toward the city gate.

But her efforts had changed nothing, it was as if she was in a different dimension from them.

She shot past Zhong Yue but when she reached to the city gate, the other Zhong Yue has already disappeared into the city. The mother god's body was swaying to and fro, and suddenly, she collapsed to the ground.

Behind her, Zhong Yue walked over in a steady pace and stopped right in front of the city gate.

"There is nothing we can do now, we are all dead already!", Mother Da Zhen raised her head and gave a wry smile.

Zhong Yue was quiet, he looked at the gate and the bloody words written on one of the sharp teeths, "Danger, don't enter. Run!"

The words were exactly the same as what he had seen before, no a single spot was different!

While the skeletons in front of the city gate laid in the same pattern as well.

Mother Da Zhen sounded like a ghost, crying and yet laughing at the same time, "Zhong Shan Clan member, we are already dead now! We will never be able to leave anymore! All those hatreds and enmities between us, nothing matters anymore now. I will not seek revenge on you anymore…"

Zhong Yue ignored her, he was still looking at the city interestingly.

All of a sudden, loud and infernal noises sounded behind them. Mother Da Zhen quickly looked back and saw the cold gales forming into a hurricane, along with the sands and hollers of war coming within the darkness!

There were the shadowy figures of the war chariots and the war prisoners planted with divine herbs, the images of the Fuxi gods battling with the army of gods and the peculiar beast in the grand palace!

Everything they have experience in the City of Nature were rushing toward them from behind!

This was the 'Disaster' the gods have warned about, the final strange occurrence in the City of Nature, the 'Disaster'!

Before the 'Disaster' even reach close enough, Mother Da Zhen could already feel her mortal body rotting and her cultivation base sucked away into the sky!

"Finally, we don't have to be tortured anymore…", Mother Da Zhen heaved a breath of relief, she laughed softly and said, "Zhong Shan Clan member, I never thought that I will die alongside with you, I guess fate really pulls us close enough?"

"Don't worry, I am not dying, nor are you going to die.", Zhong Yue turned his head around and smiled warmly, then turning back again. He yelled softly and the Divine Wing Saber was cast into the sky. Altars emerged behind him and the images of gods on the altars bowed down together!

"Go!", the gods worshipped the saber and enhanced the power of the Divine Wing Saber to an immense level as it slashed toward the City of Nature!

The saber was like a flash of lightning, it jabbed on the gatehouse, which was also Patriarch Nature's eyes!

Blood gushed out and sprinkled on the altars. Immediately, the altars were boosted in power and further enhanced the Divine Wing Saber. Countless Golden Feathery Peng Swords have blasted out from the Divine Wing Saber and pulverized Patriarch Nature's eye!

"It's really pain!"

In front of them, the city gate abruptly closed and opened again, and a wave of strong gale blasted out from the city gate, "My eye—!"

The strong gale sent Zhong Yue along with the Divine Wing Saber and Mother Da Zhen back flying into the sky. They were blasted back but before they were swallowed by the darkness and killed by the strange phenomenons behind them, the strong gale has already blew and dispersed the 'Disaster' for them.

Zhong Yue and Mother Da Zhen were launched back for over a hundred mile and before they landed on the ground, the City of Nature has quaked violently and stood up as a giant.

One of the giant's eyes was bleeding and blinded by Zhong Yue, it was covering the wounded eye with one of the hand.

Wong, wong, wong—

Sounds of buzzing repleted the surrounding as the light wheels emerged behind the giant's body.1

So I'm not wrong., Zhong Yue looked around. Now, they were suddenly back in the center of the City of Nature.

Mother Da Zhen glanced around and mumbled as if she has lost her soul, "How… how did we…"

"It's the Yuan Shen secret realms.", Zhong Yue answered, "He has six Yuan Shen secret realms, the biggest one has covered the whole city. The moment we step into the city, we are already in his first Yuan Shen secret realm. When the cold gale blew over, we are sent to the second Yuan Shen secret realm; there, he toyed and tortured us for some time before sending us back to the first Yuan Shen secret realm. After which, the mist has sent us to the third Yuan Shen secret realm, we are toyed and sent back to the first Yuan Shen secret realm again. While that bottomless pit, it seemed like the Fuxi skeletons are the one that send us back to witness the ancient history, we are in fact, sent into his fourth Yuan Shen secret realm."

Mother Da Zhen was stunned, she mumbled in disbelief, "Then it would be the jury and the grand palace, that is the fifth Yuan Shen secret realm? But where is the sixth?"

Zhong Yue replied, "The path where we walk to here, that is the sixth Yuan Shen secret realm."

"No, no!", Mother Da Zhen suddenly in disbelief, "It still doesn't make sense! We have met with so many gods in the battlefield, the battles and the gods, they are all real. You and I are both really wounded, it can't be just illusions! It really did happened, I am sure!"
