Chapter 319 The Ruins of Fallen Stars, Open!
"I don't know."
In the water mirror, Yamata smiled and looked at Huali, "I have said everything I could say."
"Then tell me something you can't say."
Huali and Rongxing stood on either side of him, staring at him expectantly.
The old priest sighed, "There are some answers that even the astrological observatory cannot easily know."
His gaze fell quietly on Huali, "But...it might...be hidden where you came from."
"It also depends on where you go."
Huali's eyelids twitched, and a quick scrutiny flashed in her eyes as she stared at the old priest.
Geluo Tan seemed not to notice and continued, "All phenomena in the world have their causes and effects, and all have their origins."
"I have been observing the stars here for thousands of years, but now the black mist is spreading, which is a sign of the imbalance of the Heavenly Dao and the beginning of a great calamity. I have gathered everyone here to wait for the opening of the Starfall Ruins in order to find the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River and try to find a way out."
"As for what you said..." He glanced sideways at Ao Bai, who was eating top-grade fish sashimi, "this... little cat's memories might also contain the answer you're looking for."
Because of his sudden intoxication, Ao Bai, who was being pampered by everyone and enjoying the most luxurious meals offered by the young master, was speechless.
Did that old geezer just curse at me?
Huali pressed its head down, "Don't cause trouble, listen carefully."
Geluo Tan's voice grew distant, "The Book of the Goddess of the Luo River is no ordinary divine artifact, but a natural product of the intertwining of laws when the will of heaven and earth first opened..."
"Rongxing, quickly translate this from Chinese to Chinese for me," Huali nudged Rongxing directly, "It's too profound, I can't understand it."
Rongxing: "...Master, can't you just talk to me normally? I can't understand you like this."
Geluo Tan's forehead vein throbbed: "..."
"What's recorded in the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River isn't just simple cultivation techniques or history, but the laws and codes governing the origin of all things, and even the trajectory and changes of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness. Do you understand what I mean?"
Rong Xing pouted, "You should have said that earlier."
"You wicked disciple!"
Geluo Tan didn't want to look at this unfortunate thing, so he turned to look at Huali, "Although it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, Huali, have you ever thought about the source of your power, your non-existent destiny star, or even why you can attract and contain those... extraordinary beings?"
Huali: "...But I am..." I was the one who was captured by headquarters according to the algorithm to collect cards and light up stars.
As for why she was able to be attracted and accommodated, it was because she was later accepted by the Reincarnation Sundial.
But to be fair, why did the Reincarnation Sundial accept her?
Geluo Tan's gaze was solemn, yet his eyes held a deep compassion. "Where did we come from? Why did we come from? Heaven and Earth, the Way of Heaven—how exactly should we act to move a tree like an ant? I have studied this for thousands of years."
"But you still haven't come to an answer."
"right."
The old priest looked up at the sky and said, "There are some things that I am not trying to confuse, but under the rules, I cannot express my guesses."
"But this deadlock of a thousand years is waiting for a variable..."
boom!
An extremely dull, seemingly primordial roar erupted without warning!
It didn't just ring in our ears, but it directly shook the very soul of everyone!
The ground beneath Huali and Rongxing's feet began to tremble violently.
The wind chimes under the eaves rang wildly, the tea in the cup rippled, and even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Karin's eyes widened!
This old priest is something else; he can trigger celestial phenomena with just a simple sentence?
But the next second, on the Crystal's side, Ge Luotan was clearly stunned as well.
The solemn and profound expression on his face turned into one of utter bewilderment and disbelief.
"This aura... is it from the Ruins of Fallen Stars?"
Hua Li and Ao Bai suddenly looked up and gazed out the window.
The once clear sky seemed to have been infused with light ink, presenting a hazy and mysterious grayish-purple hue.
Huali ran to the door and pushed it open forcefully—
call--
The howling wind squeezed in instantly, pulling her sleeves, hair, and red feathers backward, making a rustling sound.
Huali pressed down the stray hairs that were obscuring her vision and looked in the direction the wind was blowing.
Countless tiny, firefly-like points of light appeared out of nowhere, not cracks, but like thousands of shattered stars, flowing and swirling silently across the deep, dense sky, eventually converging somewhere in the distant horizon.
Ao Bai stared intently in that direction.
“It’s the Ruins of Fallen Stars.” Rong Xing frowned. “It… opened two months ahead of schedule.”
At the same time, the entire Linfeng County became incredibly lively.
"This is a sign that the entrance is about to open! The spatial barrier is weakening, and the otherworldly spiritual energy is so pure!"
"The secret realm opened ahead of schedule; I wonder if it's related to the Book of Luo Shen?"
"Senior brother, let's go quickly!"
Countless figures soared to the heights, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the sky rippling with transparent waves, the light of their magical artifacts subtly swirling in their hands.
Almost simultaneously, several powerful auras appeared near Huali.
Lian Zhuo stood quietly under the eaves, her moon-white monk's robe fluttering slightly in the wind, her clear, cool eyes reflecting the shimmering light of fireflies.
Wen Jin and Shen Yu stood one on each side, a step away from Hua Li.
Luo Chuan sat on the tree trunk, reaching out to pinch the ears of the chibi-style little fox.
The heterochromatic eyes did not gaze towards the Ruins of Starfall, but rather towards the direction of the Witch Clan's Causal Tree, outside the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Only Yan Xi did not approach.
He stood alone in the shadows, pressing his hand against the ring on his wrist, his face revealing little emotion.
Another gust of wind rose...
The star array slowly converged at the fingertips of the merging stars.
The most skilled astrologer among the younger generation at the astrological station pursed his lips: "...Karin, a storm is brewing."
