Su Ming did not pay any attention to the passing of time. He knelt beside the coffin and stared at his mother inside.
There were some stones shining with golden light scattered around the altar and the coffin. Those stones … were the fifth stone Su Ming needed.
Yet at that moment, Su Ming did not even spare a glance at them. He knelt beside the coffin like a wanderer who had left his mother for a long, long time. One day, when he finally returned home, what he saw was no longer his loving mother waiting for him, but a tombstone.
The grief and the tears that flowed down his cheeks were the familial love that Su Ming could not bear to part with even if he had been an orphan his entire life.
Xu Hui stood by the side. In silence, she came to Su Ming's side and knelt down with him.
After a long, long time, Su Ming lifted his head and cast a deep glance at the woman in the coffin again. Then, he slowly stood up.
"I once thought that I was an orphan without parents. The only ones who accompanied me were the elder, Xiao Hong, and some of my playmates who grew up with me," Su Ming mumbled.
Xu Hui listened to him quietly by the side. She knew that at that moment, Su Ming did not need someone to talk to him. What he needed was an audience.
"For the tribe, I could go mad. I could swallow those herbs without a care for my life so that I could rush out of the room where the elder sealed me in the midst of my madness to fight with my people … I still remember the song of the xun in the past. Tong Tong asked me to go back and told me a secret. I still remember it …" There was nostalgia in Su Ming's eyes, along with anguish.
"But one day, I realized that all of it was fake. There was no Dark Mountain, no tribe, and even the playmates I grew up with were all a scheme!
"In fact, I didn't even want to believe that the woman I was infatuated with when I was young was also a farce …" Su Ming laughed, and as he laughed, he laughed loudly.
"The ninth summit was the home I found in my confusion. It was real, but fate played a trick on me and made me come to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence … Only here did I learn that I also had a mother … and a father." Su Ming lowered his head. With tears in his eyes, he stared at the woman in the coffin.
"If having Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos build its Abyss and carving the Language of the Abyss in the universe is also your wish … I will use my entire life to complete it!" Su Ming lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the coffin. Immediately, the fifth stone turned into a ray of golden light and flew into his hand.
'If I went to the Fifth True World previously to search for my Master, then now, I want to see the Abyss Builders' homeland, because … I am an Abyss Builder! 'Su Ming did not say these words out loud, but roared them in his heart.
Before that moment, Su Ming might have known that he was an Abyss Builder, but in the depths of his heart, he did not acknowledge this identity too much, much less acknowledge the Abyss Builders. All the stories were just stories to him.
There wasn't much empathy.
Yet now, everything was different. His mother's voice and the pictures in Su Ming's mind made him no longer unfamiliar with the Abyss Builders. It was no longer something that did not concern him. It did not matter whether it was the threat from the four Great True Worlds or his mother's words … all of them made Su Ming … take the initiative to acknowledge his identity as an Abyss Builder for the first time.
At the instant Su Ming acknowledged its identity, the fifth kiln suddenly started trembling furiously.
Wills swiftly descended around Su Ming from all the dimensions in the fifth kiln. They manifested and turned into countless powerful living beings. At the instant the shadows of these living beings appeared, they looked towards Su Ming and bowed to him simultaneously!
Among these living beings were trees that were one thousand feet tall, powerful Fire Spirits, and all sorts of strange ferocious beasts. All of them bowed, causing all the dimensions in the fifth kiln to tremble violently.
Their wills fused together, and with Su Ming as the center, they formed a gigantic, illusory … kiln in space!
The kiln was semi-transparent. Flowing light spilled out from it and surrounded Su Ming, causing him to look as if he had become the core of the illusory kiln. As light shone, Su Ming sensed the fifth kiln's acknowledgement towards him. At that moment, there were no loud bangs, and neither were there any changes that shook the sky and earth, but Su Ming knew … that he had already become the master of the fifth kiln!
As the fifth kiln trembled, all the dimensions in it looked as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had shattered. At the instant all the wills of the living beings arrived, all the people in the kiln sensed the powerful change, but they did not know the reason behind it.
Xuan Shang had a firm grip on the ground so that his body could be fixed in place so that he would not be sucked away by the gigantic vortex that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Hua Yu's face was pale. As he laughed brokenly, he lay in a sea of flowers. His body was buried in the soil, and most of it had already melted, turning into nutrients to nourish the sea of flowers.
By his side, Progenitor Long Hai stared at Hua Yu with a smile. His body was originally a Nascent Divinity, but at that moment, it was filled with flowers, as if it was about to gather together to form a new body.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor was charging through a dimension at that moment. In shock, he lifted his head to look at the sky. He saw that it was swaying violently.
Reverend Zi Long's expression was incredibly sour. He stared at an island in the sea that was only thousands of feet away from him. There was a tree on that island, and there was a crimson fruit on it.
Yet now, as the ground in the dimension trembled and the mountains swayed, the spot where the tree was collapsed.
If there was anyone in the crowd who could tell what was going on, then there was only one person … Zhu You Cai.
At that moment, Zhu You Cai stood on a mountain. As it rumbled and swayed, the clouds in the sky tumbled about. The entire world changed, and Zhu You Cai's expression changed swiftly.
'This is … the fifth kiln acknowledging its master! Could it be that there are Abyss Builders among these people?! '
At the same time, the continent where Dust Burners resided beyond the fifth kiln had long since returned to normal … but at that instant, all the Dust Burners threw their heads back and roared. Their bodies changed on their own to turn into Fire Spirits.
This had nothing to do with their levels of cultivation. Even Dust Burners' tribe leader and Progenitor could not control their bodies and turned into Fire Spirits. As they roared, a voice that came from their souls rang out in the minds of all Dust Burners.
"The fifth kiln has acknowledged its master!" Once Dust Burners' Progenitor turned into a Fire Spirit, a brilliant light shone in his eyes.
In the space at the core of the fifth kiln, Su Ming sensed that the fifth kiln had acknowledged him as its master at that moment. It moved according to his will. Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he lifted his right hand and swung his arm. Immediately, the shadow of the kiln surrounding him disappeared. The countless existences in the dimensions around him also disappeared, causing the area to return to normal. When Su Ming turned around, he took a step into space.
The coffin was still on the altar. In the future, there would still be a large amount of power of time that would be sucked into the coffin to nourish the woman, and one day, under the effects of the Rune, she would wake up.
If Su Ming wanted to, he could take the fifth kiln with him, but he did not do so.
He would stay in the place and continue attracting more powerful warriors over. Only by doing so could he make the Rune continue. Only by doing so could his mother … wake up one day.
He stepped into space. At the instant Su Ming disappeared, he brought Xu Hui out of the fifth kiln and stepped into the galaxy.
When he turned his head back, he found that the fifth kiln was still in the galaxy. Everything he had experienced in it was like a dream.
He sighed softly, but almost at the moment he did so, a ray of golden light shot out from his storage bag, causing the area around Su Ming to immediately turn golden.
That golden light was different from the golden light Su Ming had turned into. There was a vast power spreading out from it, and it seemed to possess a vague feeling as if it could attract the power of the world to gather on it. There was also a presence about it that seemed to be incompatible with Divine Essence Star Ocean. It was as if its appearance would immediately be noticed by the universe in Divine Essence Star Ocean, and it would be rejected by the galaxy!
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. When he lowered his head to look at his storage bag, he immediately sensed that the fifth stone he had brought out was shining with a golden light that reached one hundred thousand feet. With a bang, it forcefully flew out of Su Ming's storage bag.
It was as if once this item left the fifth kiln, it would definitely not be able to exist in the storage bag. Once it flew out, it did not leave into the distance. Instead, it floated around Su Ming and continued circling around him.
When the fifth stone appeared, the galaxy trembled. The golden light continued spreading out in all directions, and when it reached a point where there was no end to it, a disaster that could stir up Divine Essence Star Ocean … appeared because of it!
The Dust Burners who had turned into Fire Spirits had just recovered when Progenitor's heart shuddered. He could clearly sense a power that was completely different from that of Divine Essence Star Ocean. In fact, it was a power that did not fit in with the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. It came swiftly from the fifth kiln.
"The fifth stone!" Progenitor immediately lifted his head.
At the same time, in the core of Divine Essence Star Ocean was the territory belonging to the Reng Wu Race. It was originally dark, but at the instant the fifth stone's presence spread out, countless eyes opened in the darkness. Within each pair of eyes was a madness akin to that of a wild beast.
"The fifth stone … Another fifth stone has appeared. Snatch it! We must snatch it!" Muffled buzzing sounds echoed in the darkness, and the madness in the eyes immediately reached its peak.
The Virtue Roosters, the race with the bodies of snakes and heads of humans, were in the karst caves of the planets they resided in. At that moment, they opened their eyes at the same time. As hisses echoed in the air, a great will filled the entire planet.
"Search for the fifth stone based on this presence that does not fuse with Divine Essence Star Ocean. Bring that stone … to me!" If you like this work, you are welcome to give me a recommendation vote or a monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
