As Jiang Xiaorou walked up the Divine Bone Altar step by step, a red line appeared in the distant horizon. Following that, red clouds rolled over, dyeing the sky above the land red like blood. ([
[
As the red clouds hung down, it was as if the sky was about to drip sticky blood onto the ground.
In the Divine Wilderness, there was a woman of peerless beauty watching this scene from afar.
The woman's looks were somewhat similar to Jiang Xiaorou's. However, she lacked Jiang Xiaorou's childishness, and had a more mature and charming look.
She was watching Jiang Xiaorou's every action and expression, but she did not feel relaxed in her heart.
Their Desolate race had been passed down for countless years. They had always shouldered the mission of the Desolate race. Since ancient times, their bloodline had slowly weakened.
Now, they no longer had much power.
Every generation of Desolate Queen had to obtain the recognition of the Divine Bone Altar, awakening their ancient bloodline on the altar.
However, not every generation of Desolate Queen could successfully awaken their bloodline. In the history of the Desolate race, there had been cases of a Desolate Queen being missing.
Furthermore, even if they had awakened their bloodline, there were different levels of awakening, deep awakening and perfect awakening. And the difference between them was huge.
With the passage of time, perhaps due to the loss of the Divine Bone Altar's energy, the number of Desolate Queens who could awaken their ancient bloodline to a deep level decreased in the past ten million years.
The peerless beauty in front of them had awakened her ancient bloodline to a deep level thousands of years ago. She ruled the Desolate race, and not only was she powerful, she was also open-minded. She was a virtuous queen of her generation.
However, twenty years ago, there was a huge change. It caused her to be severely injured, and her bloodline was damaged.
Although she was still powerful, the damage to her bloodline made it difficult for her to control the Desolate race's Sacred Spirit. And this was extremely important to the Desolate race.
In this turbulent world, without the Desolate race's Sacred Spirit, their Desolate race's heritage could be destroyed overnight.
For Jiang Xiaorou to step onto the Divine Bone Altar and attempt to awaken her bloodline before the age of twenty was something that had never happened in the past millions of years.
Jiang Xiaorou was too young, so it was impossible for her to complete such a ritual. However, she had no choice but to do so, because … they no longer had time.
"Empress, are you worried?"
Beside the woman, an azure-clothed youth said respectfully. This youth was the Shepherd Boy who had saved Yi Yun when the army attacked the Tai Ah Divine City.
The woman nodded slightly and sighed, "I'm worried … and my heart aches for her. Rou 'er was separated from me since she was young. She grew up alone in the Cloud Wilderness, suffering all the hardships of the world. It was not easy for her to reunite with me, but I can't give her too much love and care. Instead, I want her to walk up the divine bone altar and shoulder the mission of our Desolate race …"
"Rou 'er's physique is special. Even at a young age, she is able to obtain the recognition of the Sacred Spirit, becoming a true Desolate Queen of this generation … However … the pain in her heart is something that I find difficult to understand."
Upon hearing the woman's words, the Shepherd Boy hesitated for a moment. After deliberating over his words, he said, "Empress, if I may be so bold as to say, that youth named Yi Yun should be remembered by the Young Master … Because of the separation from him, the Young Master has lost some of his smile …"
"Yi Yun …" The woman took a deep breath and shook her head. "All these years, I have learned of some of his actions. If he was just a mediocre person, it would not be a problem for him to stay in the Desolate race and reunite with Rou'er. However, this child is no ordinary person. Do not expect him to stay in the Desolate race obediently. And in the future, he will definitely stir up a storm. I have a premonition that if Rou'er interacts with him too much, it might invite a disaster."
"Back then, I acted willfully and suffered once. This is also something that I am worried about. There are some things that even if one deliberately tries to avoid, it is difficult to avoid …"
As the woman spoke, she sighed faintly. And at this moment, Jiang Xiaorou had already walked to the top of the Divine Bone Altar.
She raised her hand, holding the Totem Bone Staff, and raised it up high. Her wide sleeves fell down, revealing Jiang Xiaorou's porcelain white arms. Under the contrast of the red clouds in the sky, it was especially eye-catching.
Hum Hum …
Strong winds began to blow across the world.
Jiang Xiaorou's long hair and red robe were blown up by the strong winds. A desolate and vast aura instantly spread across the land.
All the desolate beasts trembled slightly when this aura came pressing down on them. They seemed to sense it as they raised their heads and looked at the Divine Bone Altar.
The sound of the wind grew louder and louder until it sounded like thunder!
The red clouds also began to churn with the wind like a surging tide.
In the strong winds, the cloak behind the woman who was standing alone on the high altar fluttered. She pointed her staff towards the sky, as if she was about to ride the wind and ride the clouds.
Hum Hum Hum!
The endless red clouds that spanned tens of thousands of miles were driven by Jiang Xiaorou's actions. They began to gather towards the Divine Bone Altar. The red clouds formed a gigantic red vortex as endless Power of Desolates gathered there, forming a raging energy sea!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaorou's expression was solemn. All the blood in her body seemed to be summoned by an ancient being, turning hotter and hotter.
On her forehead, there were three dots of cinnabar that shimmered. High up in the sky, the red clouds gathered towards the center and began to spin towards Jiang Xiaorou. From afar, the entire sky looked like a gigantic funnel.
Jiang Xiaorou began to chant the ancient scriptures of the Desolate race. The syllables of the scriptures condensed into bright red characters that spread out in all directions. The totem at the end of the bone staff in her hand also seemed to come alive.
Finally, the red clouds in the sky landed on Jiang Xiaorou's slim body. Her beautiful but tiny figure was swallowed by the endless blood color. The vast aura that filled the world also changed as a murderous aura was suddenly emitted.
The desolate beasts around the Divine Bone Altar could not help but lower their prostrate bodies, as if they were afraid of this immense power.
The red clouds became more and more ferocious. Jiang Xiaorou's figure, which was standing in it, was as delicate and slender as a feather.
Despite being enveloped by the endless Power of Desolates, Jiang Xiaorou's eyes remained extremely calm.
At this moment, her mind was not thinking about the Desolate race or the awakening of her ancient bloodline, but the bits and pieces of her past.
Once upon a time, she was just a poor girl in the Cloud Wilderness. She worked hard every day, often working through the night. Even so, she still had to worry about food.
Such difficult days seemed unbearable to recall, but when she recalled them, there were bits and pieces of happiness …
Back then, Yi Yun was her everything. He was the spiritual sustenance that allowed her to carry on living.
She was happy for Yi Yun's growth. She was overjoyed that Yi Yun had become a member of the Jin Long Wei.
She originally thought that she would be a happy and ordinary woman for the rest of her life. She would watch her brother achieve success and silently take care of him. However, she never expected that fate would be so bizarre. There would come a day when she would stand on this Divine Altar, surrounded by endless desolate beasts. She had to carry a mission that was unfamiliar to her …
She had obtained a supreme status, but this was not what she wanted.
Now, standing on this Divine Altar, she felt an indescribable loneliness …
