Chapter 1221 — Stubborn to the Bone
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
Heavenly Venerable Yue's face flushed faintly.
Shen Mu went on: "This is your dream. Though my strength is not yet restored, I can help you carry out a deduction within the dream. Look."
He waved his hand lightly, and far away Heavenly Venerable Yue saw the Yuan Wood, and beneath the Yuan Wood, the Earth Mother Yuanjun.
Nor was the Earth Mother Yuanjun alone there; there were others too — Heavenly Venerable Ling, Xiao Weisu, Heavenly Venerable Fire, and another self.
Just then she saw herself vanish and enter into that other self.
They were besieging the Earth Mother Yuanjun, and the scene was exceedingly fierce, divine abilities and divine weapons of every kind emerging in endless succession.
Heavenly Venerable Yue looked at those divine abilities, and saw that each person's abilities were manifold and varied; some were even secret arts these people never displayed to the world!
She even felt as though she were experiencing it herself; standing within the dream, she seemed to take part in that battle in person.
"Not right!"
Heavenly Venerable Yue laughed: "The Supreme Emperor is a master too, and the Dao Ancestor and the Great Monk are even greater masters!"
Scarcely had she spoken when the figures of the Supreme Emperor, the Dao Ancestor, Great Brahma and the rest appeared — yet they were blocked by the Northern Supreme Emperor's heavenly court.
In the Northern Supreme Emperor's heavenly court the mighty gathered like clouds, most of them demigods, their strength exceedingly fearsome.
Even with so many mighty ones joining hands and paying a great price, they could not destroy the Earth Mother.
That battle ended with the company gravely wounded; though the Earth Mother Yuanjun's injuries were severe, she was the Earth Mother after all, and her wounds healed swiftly.
The outcome of that battle was this: Heavenly Venerable Fire fell in battle, Heavenly Venerable Ling fell in battle, Heavenly Venerable Xiao fled, and only Heavenly Venerable Yue withdrew unscathed.
In the distance, Heavenly Venerable Yue stood at Shen Mu's side, staring blankly at the scene.
"History cannot be replayed, but a dream can."
Shen Mu said softly: "Now, return to where the dream began."
The savage scene shifted, and Heavenly Venerable Yue lived through that battle again; she was still Heavenly Venerable Yue, joining hands with Heavenly Venerable Ling, Heavenly Venerable Fire, Xiao Weisu and the others, striving together to destroy the Earth Mother Yuanjun.
