Ling Yue's bond was very successful. It was as if Ling Yue was just a way for her to make friends.
In fact, Zhu Minglang had always treated dragons as equals. He wasn't a Dragon Shearer who used dragons as tools to enslave them.
That was why Zhu Minglang was overjoyed when he sensed the Nüwa's soul.
It was as if he had picked up a rare dragon for free.
However, what followed was a boundless emotion, like a vast ocean. Even Zhu Minglang, who was establishing a soul bond with the Nüwa, was shocked.
Zhu Minglang's soul was also greatly impacted. He felt like the world was spinning. His soul was supposed to be very strong after becoming a Swordsman, also known as a Dragon Shearer. However, compared to the sadness and loneliness that came from the depths of his soul, he seemed rather weak and insignificant.
Zhu Minglang felt like he was falling. He had fallen into an underground world where there were only cold rocks and darkness. There was nothing around him, only silence. The fear that would never dissipate shrouded his heart, tormenting him with endless time. It was as if he would be imprisoned in this place of despair for all eternity!
Soon, Zhu Minglang saw the Red Basalt's Earth Ridge again. The magnificent Earth Ridge stretched across the Ni Sea's countless Earth Veins, supporting the entire continent.
But for some unknown reason, there seemed to be a kind of divine rock root in the earth ridge. It was like a chain that firmly locked his soul. When Zhu Minglang tried to leave this place and break free from this world of despair, this Earth Ridge Soul Lock was unbreakable and ruthlessly suppressed him under the earth vein...
There were a few times when Zhu Minglang felt like he was about to break free and leave this land of despair. However, as he struggled, the entire Earth Ridge began to shake and collapse!
At the same time, the Earth Veins that ran through the entire Ni Sea and the surrounding soil also broke and sank!
Zhu Minglang saw the ocean turn into a bottomless Heaven Vault. He saw the land being submerged by the ocean. He saw billions of creatures die in this calamity.
In that instant, Zhu Minglang lost all his determination and courage. Looking at the Earth Ridge that locked his soul tightly, Zhu Minglang suddenly understood that he was this Earth Ridge. The prosperity of this world depended on his soul. If he left, the land, the sea, and the mountains above him would cease to exist!
He could only choose to remain silent, choose to be alone, choose to continue living in this despairing Dark Earth …
He would be as insignificant and weak as a floating spirit, or as glorious and noble as a god, silently watching over billions of creatures!
… …
Zhu Minglang, as if he had a hangover.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he gradually regained consciousness.
What entered his eyes was a pure and beautiful face. It was demonic yet holy. Her strangely large eyes were looking at Zhu Minglang worriedly, as if she was afraid that something would happen to Zhu Minglang …
Zhu Minglang shook his head and wiped away the emotions and memories that didn't belong to him from his mind.
Those memories didn't belong to him.
They were Nüwa's memories.
Signing a spirit pact with her was equivalent to accepting her soul. Her past flowed into his mind like a dream, making him feel as if he was in her shoes!
However, the spirit pact wasn't successfully signed in the end.
It wasn't because Nüwa wasn't willing to accept it, but because her soul was locked in the Earth Ridge. Once Zhu Minglang signed a spirit pact with her, it would mean that his soul was also locked in this place!
"You saw the Ni Sea World collapsing and billions of creatures dying in the calamity, so you flew into the Earth Ridge and turned your soul into a part of the Earth Ridge?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"The Earth Ridge …" Nüwa murmured.
"How can I help you?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"How …" Nüwa's ancient wisdom seemed to have been worn away by the passage of time. She was simply living in this place. She didn't know how to express it.
She didn't even have any memories of her past. It was only because Zhu Minglang had touched the depths of her soul that she was able to recall her past.
"You've been here for too long. Your fate has already merged with the Earth Ridge," Zhu Minglang said.
The clearest memory Zhu Minglang had was that the Earth Ridge had stabilized, and the Earth Ridge had completely expanded. The Ni Sea World no longer needed her support. However, when she was about to leave, she suddenly realized that she had merged with the Earth Ridge.
She had become a part of the Earth Ridge. She was the Earth Ridge. If she tried to break free, the Earth Ridge would shatter again, and the calamity would befall her again!
Time passed, and passed, and passed …
She had almost forgotten everything.
Her intelligence had deteriorated to the point where she was weaker than a three-year-old child.
She used to be a deity, as brilliant as the moon. She was worshipped by billions of creatures in ancient times.
Right now, she was no different from a floating monster. She was just repeatedly wandering in this dark green divine pond. She was living a meaningless life, but she had to live.
Zhu Minglang naturally felt that sadness. It was so majestic that it did not pale in comparison to the Ni Hai.
"Mr. Koi, she wants to leave this place. She's willing to sign a Spirit Contract with me, but once the Spirit Contract is established, my soul will be trapped in the Earth Ridge, just like her," Zhu Minglang said.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. Sigh, like I said, Nüwa can only be looked at from afar." Mr. Koi let out a long sigh.
The Nüwa let out a pleasant sound when she saw Zhu Minglang was safe. She swam backward and entered the green pond. She dived into the depths of the pond …
After a while, she came back with many shiny God's Stones. Just like when Zhu Minglang gave her candies, she seemed to want to give Zhu Minglang something from her collection to express her joy.
If it was before, Zhu Minglang would have been overjoyed to see these God's Stones. These things were priceless treasures in the outside world. They were not inferior to the White Phoenix's tail that he had obtained. However, Zhu Minglang could not feel any joy, especially when he felt the pain in the depths of his soul during the process of signing the Spirit Contract. This made Zhu Minglang even more eager to take her away from this place.
She was clearly a powerful existence comparable to a deity, yet she was forced to struggle in this underground world. Most importantly, other than himself, no one in this world would know that the prosperous Ni Sea World was supported by a Nüwa's Life Soul.
"Is there any other way, Mr. Koi?" Zhu Minglang was still unwilling to give up.
Zhu Minglang had once severed the Earth Vein, but the Earth Ridge was many times stronger than the Earth Vein. Zhu Minglang did not know what level he needed to reach to be able to sever the Earth Ridge.
"With your current cultivation, you can't move the Earth Ridge. However, you said that her Life Soul had grown together with the Earth Ridge Divine Root. You can consider helping her sever a part of her Life Soul and see if that can help her escape," Mr. Koi said.
"Wouldn't she be dead if I sever her Life Soul?" Zhu Minglang said with wide eyes. What kind of rotten idea was Mr. Koi coming up with?
Why didn't he just say it and give her a quick death?
"She won't die. She might just lose her God's Fate," Mr. Koi said.
