Su Ming swept his gaze across the area. The tunnel was dark, and the walls around them were not made of mud or stone, but bronze and iron. Runic symbols would appear every few inches between them.
Those shining runic symbols became the only light in the place.
The hundreds of Fated Kin were all silent at that moment, and there was a hint of grief on their faces. They had lived together for fifteen years without a future. They might have a chance to leave now, but there were nine members of their tribe who were eternally separated from them.
Perhaps what awaited these nine members of their tribe was death, but even if that was not the case, they would still be forever separated from them.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he averted his gaze from observing the area. He took a step forward and walked right in front of the group. As he charged forward, the Fated Kin behind him followed one after another.
No one spoke along the way. Occasionally, some of the Fated Kin would lift their heads, and when their gazes fell on Su Ming's back right in front of them, for some unknown reason, their hearts slowly calmed down. Su Ming had brought two miracles to them. The first time was when they had fallen into despair while the Sacred Bats were slaughtering them, and the second time was when Su Ming had brought the future they had thought they could not leave for the past fifteen years.
They believed that there would be a third time, and the third time would be when Respected Senior Mo, who possessed the Fated Kin's cultivation method, brought them completely out of the World of Nine Yin and back to the Land of South Morning!
It was not just one or two Fated Kin who thought this way. All the Fated Kin felt the same way at that moment. It could be said that Su Ming was their spiritual hope, and that feeling grew stronger with every single thing that happened.
Su Ming walked in front and spread his divine sense outwards, but he could not spread it too far in this place. The walls around him had a strong repelling force that prevented his divine sense from spreading out.
As he moved forward, Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt not too far away from the tunnel. There was a fork in this place, and there were three paths leading to it, making it difficult for anyone to tell which one would lead to the Relocation Rune.
Once Su Ming stopped, the Fated Kin also stopped and looked at their surroundings in silence. Nan Gong Hen took a few steps forward and stood beside Su Ming. Once he looked around, his gaze fell on Su Ming. He was not the only one. All the Fated Kin in the area looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming frowned. The old Spirit of Nine Yin did not say that there would be a fork in this place. He knew that he could not take the wrong path in these three paths. If he did, then he would lose precious time.
Almost at the instant Su Ming and the others arrived at the fork and looked towards the three paths, the entire tunnel suddenly shuddered. It swayed so violently that they almost lost their footing.
Muffled rumbling sounds came from outside, as if the passageway was about to collapse. The runes in the surroundings were flashing more and more frequently. The flashing of the runes would cause anyone who stayed here for a long time to feel irritated.
Su Ming took a few steps forward, and right before the Fated Kin's gazes, he did not immediately make his choice. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. His divine sense swiftly spread outwards, turning into three wisps that swiftly spread towards the three paths.
As his divine sense spread out, it was continuously rejected by the land, and his divine sense was continuously weakened. Before it could spread out a thousand feet, there was only a sliver of it left. Just as it was about to completely disappear, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity left his body and fused into his divine sense.
Because of that, his divine sense increased exponentially once again. As it continued spreading outwards, the divine sense in the tunnel right before him became incredibly strange. It did not make a single sound, and even Su Ming did not have time to notice it before it immediately disappeared.
The instant the divine sense in front of him disappeared, Su Ming saw a gigantic Relocation Rune on the path to his left. That Rune was operating slowly at that moment, as if it could be activated at any moment!
Su Ming's eyes flew open. He did not have time to bother about why the divine sense in front of him had disappeared. Just as he was about to retrieve the divine sense in the path to his right, a shudder suddenly ran through his body, and he turned his head around swiftly to stare at the path to his right.
His pupils shrank, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes. All of this was because once the divine sense in the path to his right had spread out to ten thousand feet, he saw a gigantic space!
He saw gigantic bubbles in that space. Many of those bubbles had burst, but they did not disappear. In fact, there were even some bubbles that did not shatter and remained in an incredibly complete state!
Su Ming's breathing quickened. With gritted teeth, he retrieved his divine sense and no longer looked at the tunnel to his right. Instead, he stood up and led the Fated Kin following him to charge towards the tunnel to his left where he had sensed the Rune.
As the crowd moved swiftly, the tremors in the place became even more frequent. Booming sounds traveled forth, and the entire tunnel trembled viciously. In fact, cracks even appeared on the ground. As those cracks appeared, powerful light shone through, giving people a feeling that the ground in the tunnel was about to shatter at any moment.
The runic symbols on the walls were also shining brightly. The light illuminated the entire area, causing the tunnel to look as bright as day at that moment.
As everyone charged forward, it did not take long for an empty space to appear before them. There were also fine cracks on the ground, and at the same time, there was a huge Rune that was operating with loud rumbles.
That Rune let out a feeling as if it was a Relocation Rune. At that moment, it was completely activated, and the moment they stepped in, they would be instantly Relocated.
Almost at the instant the crowd saw the Rune and excitement appeared on their faces, the tunnel suddenly shuddered violently. It was as if the tunnel that had originally been lying horizontally had suddenly turned vertical, causing the Fated Kin to be unable to help themselves from moving backwards. They even looked as if they were about to fall.
"This is a dangerous moment. We will step into the Rune with all our might. It doesn't matter where we'll be Relocated to. If we're in the Land of South Morning, if we're split up, remember this, we are Fated Kin!
"We are no longer Shamans. Sky River Mountain in South Morning is our gathering place. If Sky River Mountain is no longer there, I will wait for you nearby!
"Let us Fated Kin shout out our names in the Land of South Morning! Remember, Sky River Mountain! Remember, the one we worship is Respected Senior Mo! " Nan Gong Hen shouted. His voice reverberated in the air and rushed into the ears of all the Fated Kin, turning into determination and determination in their eyes.
"Everyone, we … will meet again in South Morning!" Su Ming floated up and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the Fated Kin in the vertical tunnel.
"We Fated Kin will worship Respected Senior Mo forever. We … will meet again in South Morning!" The Fated Kin's voices reverberated in the air, and people charged towards the Relocation Rune. Once they stepped in, they instantly disappeared.
The tremors in the tunnel became even more intense. In fact, some of the spots in the distance had already started collapsing. The people charged forward, and almost every single Fated Kin could not help but stop for a moment when they passed by Su Ming. They would call him Respected Senior Mo, wrap their fists in their palms, and bow towards him before stepping into the Rune.
The way they addressed him as Respected Senior Mo showed their determination. Perhaps this was no longer just a form of address, but had truly become a symbol in their hearts, along with the disappointment they felt towards the Shamans after waiting for fifteen years without any results.
At that moment, once they addressed him as Respected Senior Mo, all of this turned into an eternity and turned into the hot-bloodedness of being a Fated Kin. The way they called out to meet again in South Morning was not a joke, but a roar that came from the bottom of their hearts.
After a moment, besides Nan Gong Hen, all the Fated Kin had bid their farewells and stepped into the Rune, disappearing without a trace. Nan Gong Hen looked at Su Ming and wrapped his fist in his palm quietly, as if he wanted to say something, but he did not. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the Relocation Rune. The moment the Rune shone and his body was about to disappear, he suddenly looked towards Su Ming.
"The words of the Fated Kin are not joking, and neither are my words. No matter how much changes happen in the world outside, we Fated Kin will never forget your kindness, respected senior Mo. We will worship you for generations to come!" Nan Gong Hen's words reverberated in the air, and he disappeared into the Rune.
At that moment, the Rune was still operating. Su Ming stood there, and the tremors in the tunnel became even more intense. He looked at the Rune, then suddenly turned around. He did not step into the Rune, but instead walked down the tunnel and went back the way he came.
If he left just like that, then he would be unwilling to accept it. If he left just like that, then he would have too many questions that he did not have answers to!
The old Spirit of Nine Yin had once said that if Su Ming had enough courage and could persevere until the end, then with the courage to say that he might never be able to leave, then he would be able to see the real world!
This was something Su Ming still remembered, and he wanted to see it!
Also, the things he saw with his divine sense in the tunnel to the right had made his heart tremble. For some unknown reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from that place …
That familiarity was very faint. If he searched for it carefully, it would be difficult for him to notice it. Only when he was not paying attention would he feel a sense of déjà vu.
That feeling had appeared for an instant when Su Ming used his divine sense to investigate the tunnel to the right.
He did not know what that feeling was, neither did he know whether there were other people in the world who would also have that feeling of déjà vu when they came to the same place, saw the same thing, or did the same thing by chance.
Su Ming charged forward and moved through the tunnel in the span of a breath. He shot through several collapsed paths and arrived at the junction. Without a hint of hesitation, he charged towards the tunnel to the right.
The tunnel to the right had also become vertical. Su Ming looked as if he was walking through a tunnel with stone pillars as he charged upwards. The runic symbols in the tunnel were bright and no longer shining. More cracks appeared around him, and strong light seeped through them. At the end of the tunnel, which was the edge of the empty land that Su Ming had seen with his divine sense previously, there were even more cracks on the walls. There was even one crack that was as wide as a fist.
The instant Su Ming stepped into the empty land, he first swept his gaze past the crack and saw … a thick layer of fog that was shining with a brilliant light beyond the crack!
There were also waves of chilling air coming from the crack along with the strong light.
At the same time, the tunnel trembled violently once again. A piercing whistle came from outside, and as it trembled, Su Ming had a feeling that the tunnel and the bronze sky where it was was was moving rapidly.
His breathing froze for a moment. He stepped into the empty land and saw everything that he had seen with his divine sense just now!
