Chapter 553: Wutong Divine Mother from Ages Past
At this moment, the sun is at its zenith.
It's noon, and during the daylight hours, the sky and earth should be perfectly clear.
Yet in this era, the red traces, like an endless blood mist, never seem to dissipate.
The Parasol Divine Tree, rooted in the earth, reaching up to the clouds.
This land was originally another world.
But the two worlds collided long ago, merging under a great catastrophe.
This world has always existed within the present world!
And now, it is just beginning to reveal itself!
"This Parasol Divine Tree should be the most powerful Divine Spirit created by the ancient Phoenix Clan."
The maiden in green said, "The Divine Tree is sentient, having slumbered for a long time, and now entering the world. If we rashly intrude, we might be considered outsiders! Only we two, possessing Phoenix blood, should have goodwill. The rest, please hold back..."
She looked at the people beside her, particularly at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan had a solemn expression, showing a thoughtful look.
While the Little White Ape chuckled, "We are very familiar with the Divine Mother."
Before its voice fell.
They saw in front of them, suddenly there was light appearing, extending to fall before them.
"You all have come from afar, and I have not welcomed you, already a discourtesy. For the rest of the journey, this god shall guide you."
A faint voice, gentle and meticulous, came from afar, as if omnipresent.
Shangguan Shang hesitated slightly, whispering, "This may very well be a true Divine Spirit, more terrifying than any descendants of gods and demons. Even an imperial clan might not contend with it..."
Upon hearing this, even the maiden in green hesitated for a moment.
Only Lin Yan, after pondering, stepped forward first.
The Little White Ape and Niu Yan followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Shangguan Shang and the maiden in green were about to follow.
Yet the Divine Light manifested by the Wutong Divine Mother instantaneously withdrew.
Only Lin Yan and the ape and bull stood upon the light, only feeling the world reversing.
In the blink of an eye, they stood before the Divine Tree.
Brilliant streams of light descended from the treetop, merging into one, forming a human shape.
Graceful, dignified, as majestic as the future, unchanged.
"The future Human Clan has already grown to this level?"
In Wutong Divine Mother's voice, there was a tone of sentiment, saying, "With your combat power, progressing further, you can slay Divine Spirits of this world..."
Lin Yan bowed deeply.
In fact, the first time he came to the Red Nether Era, before encountering the Upper Heaven Tribe, one method of confirming the era he was in was to find an Old God.
For example, Wutong Divine Mother!
If he had slumbered for unknown years and appeared in the future.
Then Wutong Divine Mother would still recognize him.
If he appeared before the ancient era known later, then the Divine Spirits known in the future would not recognize him.
But now, Wutong Divine Mother recognized him and revealed his origins.
"Does the Divine Mother also possess Reverse Knowledge of the Future, to survey the river of history?"
The Little White Ape exclaimed in surprise, "Otherwise, how would she know we came from the future?"
"On you, there is a branch of my spirit,"
Wutong Divine Mother said faintly, "But this body of the god is intact, never gifting branches to the outside... The only explanation is that in the future, this god gifted you a token."
"Moreover, you possess the Nirvana Divine Egg."
"This is a Holy Artifact of the Phoenix Clan, the foundation for rebirth in Nirvana."
"In the great calamity of those years, the Phoenix Progenitor fell, and the Holy Artifact was also destroyed. To resurrect the Phoenix Progenitor, the Phoenix Clan offered all their Essence Blood, trying to revive the utterly obliterated Holy Artifact in the Void."
"But this destined Nirvana Holy Artifact is far from being restored, requiring at least over thirty thousand years before it can return to its original state."
"This Nirvana Divine Egg must have come from the future."
Following Wutong Divine Mother's words.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "The reversal of the river of time, it seems the Divine Mother is not surprised?"
"The Phoenix Ancestor pursued the Dao of 'Transcendence' all his life!"
Wutong Divine Mother said, "Once transcended, it exists above the years, possessing the ability to alter history, reverse the future."
She slightly raised her head, saying, "Sixty years ago, Heavenly Thunder entered the world, this god witnessed it personally!"
Even Wutong Divine Mother did not speak further.
After all, mentioning the Lord of Heavenly Thunder might summon a calamity.
This Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was once thought to be suspended above the Nine Heavens.
If someone praises its honor, this Thunder Tribulation Sword will fall from above the Nine Heavens.
But now Lin Yan can confirm, this sword is not hidden in the void, nor above the Nine Heavens.
But within the years!
This transcends time, a sword within the river of years!
Since there is a supreme being able to manifest at any node within the river of time.
Then his coming from the future seems explainable.
"That is to say, at least ten thousand years later, this god still gifts you a branch."
Wutong Divine Mother said softly, "The long river of time, in its strangeness, thousands of years later, this god is still present, which can be considered a fortunate thing."
Saying so, she looked not far away, saying, "The maiden in green is approaching, she possesses Phoenix blood, but not of the Direct Lineage! However, the bird beside her is born of Phoenix Essence Blood..."
"Neither of them is of the core Phoenix Clan, this god cannot entrust them with heavy responsibilities."
"While you in the future, receiving this god's blessing, must be due to this god's utmost trust in you."
"This ape and bull are both transformed from the Nirvana Divine Egg, alternative beings that have emerged, they can be considered a part of you."
After a pause, Wutong Divine Mother continued, "This god's emergence this time, needs to stabilize this world, cannot move, must have a being from the world, to walk on behalf of this seat... would you be willing?"
