They had arrived at Surging River.
Qin Mu examined his surroundings. When Village Chief had brought him to find Carefree Village, he had come here before. The village where the messenger of death had received the ghosts shouldn't be too far from here. It would only take them five to six days to reach Disabled Elderly Village.
It was already the end of the eighth month, and the sun was still scorching hot. It had been a rather bumpy journey. When Qin Mu had followed Crown Prince Ling Yushu out of the capital city, it had still been spring. Now, it was already the end of summer. After another season, they would have to return to the village for New Years.
Their encounters on the journey could be said to be legendary.
As they went down the river, a gust of water vapor suddenly blew over. Next, they saw a pure white fog sealing the river, and they couldn't see anything in their surroundings.
Qin Mu immediately stopped, and everyone else also stopped in a hurry. They stood still on the river surface.
Xiong Xiyu's heart tightened, and she asked in a low voice, "Demon?"
Qin Mu shook his head. "It doesn't look like it. It should be some kind of strange thing in Great Ruins. "
At that moment, Carefree Sword in the wooden sheath on his back rang out. Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. Carefree Sword rarely hummed on its own. The last time it had hummed was when they had met his father, Qin Hanzhen, on his treasured ship.
Carefree Sword vibrated continuously, and the clamor of people and horses gradually came from the fog. It was as if countless people were passing by. Xiong Qi'er cried out in a low voice, "Look under our feet, the water is gone!"
Qin Mu immediately lowered his head and saw that the Surging River under their feet had suddenly disappeared. What replaced it was dry yellow earth.
The fog gradually disappeared and became fainter and fainter. Numerous moving figures could be faintly seen in the surroundings.
Qin Mu, Xiong Xiyu, and the rest couldn't help being stunned. Their bodies stiffened as they saw a desert around them. Yellow sand filled the sky, and tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners wearing simple and unadorned clothes were leading huge beasts to construct huge buildings.
These buildings didn't look like the houses of humans. The buildings were tall and imposing, and the pagodas reached into the clouds. The palaces were dazzling in gold and jade, and they looked like the residences of giants or celestial gods.
And on the high altars, there were many gods shining with golden light. Some had the head of a bird and the body of a human, and some had the head of a beast and the body of a human. They were covered in golden armor, and their divine eyes were shining.
That was a living god. It was as if the place where his body stood was eternally bright.
Tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners were constructing the palaces of the gods under their supervision, and the scale was grand and magnificent.
However, weren't they at Surging River?
How could this place be a desert?
A few hornless dragons pulled a treasure carriage as they flew over in the sky. From afar, they could hear a voice that shook the heaven and earth, "By the imperial decree, the Ministry of Works is to supervise the construction of the West Palace and open up water conservancy and transportation!"
Qin Mu was slightly startled. "High Emperor? The third move of Sword Picture that Village Chief imparted to me is Calamity of High Emperor! What's the connection between the High Emperor in the High Emperor Calamity and the High Emperor who delivered the imperial edict? "
A god with a dragon head and a human body standing on the altar bowed to receive the order. His body suddenly shook, and he transformed into an azure dragon. In midair, he summoned clouds and rain, stirring up wind and waves, drawing over large amounts of water to water the desert.
At the same time, another god wielded a bronze spear and transformed into a giant to open up the mountains and dig canals, drawing over the water conservancy.
Another god took out a treasure bottle and floated in midair. When the treasure bottle was pointed downwards, green instantly poured out, and the desert turned into a grassland. Dense forests grew frantically.
Another god took out a huge cauldron, and when it landed on the ground, mountains instantly rose from the ground. The terrain of the mountains changed abruptly, and the desert turned into a green mountain.
Qin Mu and the rest looked at this sight in a daze. The gods of High Emperor Era were using boundless power to change heaven and earth. What changing the sea into mulberry fields? It was nothing more than that.
"This huge river should be Surging River, right?"
Qin Mu was stunned. He saw the god wielding the bronze spear opening up a main river. The river was very long, and it flowed towards the east.
The shape of this huge river was slightly similar to Surging River, but the course of the river wasn't completely the same. It was like Surging River, but the power of the water wasn't as strong as Surging River.
At this moment, fog poured over once again and drowned out everything in front of them. In a daze, they felt the ground trembling violently. The loud rumbles sounded like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. In the fog was the scene of the end of the world. The sky was spinning and the earth was flipping. Volcanoes, meteors, thick smoke, and lightning flooded the once glorious palaces, burying an entire civilization.
They heard rumbling sounds coming from behind them, and when they turned back to take a look, they saw a heavenly moat slowly rising in the fog, cutting off the land.
The fog gradually dispersed as though the rust of time and space was disappearing bit by bit. The heavenly moat behind them gradually became clear again, and the waterfall flowed into Surging River.
The yellow sand under everyone's feet became flowing water again, flowing towards the east day and night without stopping.
Putong, putong.
The two white bats hanging from the Dragon Unicorn's chin were stunned. Their two claws didn't hold on tightly, and they fell into the water. The two white bats immediately flew up from the water and hugged each other while shivering. "Great Ruins is too strange! Cult Master Qin, quickly send us back to Ghost Valley! "
