CHAPTER 947: CHAPTER 115: ALL FOR THE RETURN

The second floor of the attic fell into a brief silence.

A moment later, the Empress asked, "Is there any restriction on viewing the ’Forbidden Ancient Book’ left by the Light Ancestor?"

"I’m afraid you cannot take a look."

Meng Xizhou instinctively spoke and then immediately understood the true intention behind the Empress’s words.

She had seen it, so what about the Light God’s Seat?

"I don’t know if the Light God’s Seat has read the Ancestor Ancient Book..."

Meng Xizhou hesitated for a moment, "But when I was reading, the spiritual waves on the pages were very fresh. In the Forbidden Book Tower, there are too many books... Even the Divine Throne that smelts the fire seed doesn’t have the time to browse them all, and these books all open in different ways."

It’s said that the Forbidden Book Tower in the Light City is an extremely miraculous Land of Divine Miracles.

Each book waits on a predetermined path of fate, for the "Page Turner" who is qualified.

Only those with destiny can open the scroll.

Without destiny, one cannot even find the door to the book tower.

The Empress on the throne, with a slight smile in her voice: "So you have seen the history revealed by the Light Ancestor, received the guidance of the Dream of Light, and the Light God’s Seat... has not?"

"Yes... yes."

Meng Xizhou replied blankly.

She didn’t know if it was just her illusion, but Her Majesty the Empress seemed not very interested in the matter of the "traveler"?

Instead, she was quite intrigued by the "Light God’s Seat."

"Your Majesty... If the guiding dream was true, perhaps the traveler has already found the door to return." Meng Xizhou said anxiously: "Netherworld King, traveler, Old World... these keywords connected together, are you really not worried?"

The Empress just smiled silently upon hearing this.

In the storm and snow of the furnace, the Spirit Crystal Ball was floating in front.

She reached out five fingers, slowly covering the crystal ball.

This attitude was quite obvious.

Why rush?

"Miss Meng, you may leave."

The Empress’s tone was gentle, "Thank you very much for coming, I have obtained what I wanted."

Is this an order to expel guests...? Meng Xizhou bit her lip, somewhat unwilling.

She spoke again, "You should know that my brother is currently on a mission at the Duolu River..."

The moment she landed in the Central City, she inquired about Meng Xiao’s whereabouts, thinking if he were still in the city, she could use the meeting as an excuse to slightly stall.

Unfortunately, she was a step too late.

"In the guiding dream, I saw a sky-high blood light erupting in the Duolu River Disaster Realm, along with countless darkness."

This statement was already quite explicit.

Meng Xiao’s action this time was carried out with the task from the Light City.

And the Duolu River... is very likely related to the Netherworld King.

Unfortunately, after saying this, the Empress still remained unmoved.

Meng Xizhou felt somewhat disappointed.

"I understand."

She sat on the throne, her voice still soft.

Yet the temperature of the dancing snowflakes in the Divine Domain suddenly dropped.

In fact, the true way to see off guests doesn’t require words, Meng Xizhou felt waves of cold approaching.

She knew she had to leave.

This Divine Domain named "Furnace" absorbs the severe cold of the entire North Continent from its interior, she can’t imagine what kind of torment and suffering the Empress sitting on the throne endures every moment, even as a god, it might be unbearable.

Before pushing the door to leave.

The Empress suddenly spoke, stopping her.

"Miss Meng."

Meng Xizhou’s body slightly paused.

"I have seen millions of souls, but never a soul as clean as yours. No one can compare to you."

The Empress on the throne said gently, "This is a soul of Immaculate purity forged by genuine light, a gift from heaven. With such a soul, no matter what lies you tell, no one can discern them... not even me."

This woman’s soul is transparent and pure.

She is light, and light is her.

A Spiritual Transcendent identifies whether someone is lying by sensing their spiritual waves... But Meng Xizhou’s soul barely has any waves, which means the means of determination by Transcendents are ineffective on her.

Under such circumstances, judgments can only be made from her words, behaviors, and subtle expressions.

In theory... if she excels at disguise.

Then she can deceive anyone in this world.

The second floor of the attic, briefly silent.

"But I choose to believe you."

The Empress smiled: "Regarding the matter of the ’Forbidden Book Tower,’ do not speak of it after leaving the attic, I will ensure your secrecy. Please remember: your visit today has changed the entire pattern of the Five Continents."

...

...

In the dim rock-wall corridor, two wisps of faint firelight were burning.

Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu were carefully reading the text on the rock wall.

The mysterious porter was translating the ancient text word by word on the rock wall.

In the early era when humans had not yet settled the Five Continents, order collapsed, and storms ran rampant.

The human tribes had to migrate south with their tribes to survive; their homes from those years had already been buried by storms, becoming the ruins of the "Old World," while countless resting points and once-thought "oasis" false safeties were also destroyed by time, known as the "ancient ruins" in the mouths of the Investigation Corps.

The story on this rock wall began in that era.

The "original author" who wrote these ancient texts called himself "Traveler."

Traveler.

Literal meaning, traveler.

But in truth, a wanderer who lost homeland.
