The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
At last that day came. Shen Mu and Niu Sanduo walked upon the waters of the Yong River, preparing to hurry to the Tianyin Realm.
Ling Tianzun worked her art; mist surged over the river and drowned them.
She sent them back into the past, to the early years of Longhan, to the grand gathering at Yaochi.
Mu Tianzun ought to go and fulfill Mu Tianzun's mission!
There he would meet Kaihuang, meet Yu Tianzun, meet Hao Tianzun, Huo Tianzun and the others, and also meet his own bewildered self — the self that needed someone to encourage her to keep going.
There Shen Mu would take the name Mu Qing, and become Mu Tianzun, who would influence a million years of later ages, become a monument of the human race, influencing countless people of later generations!
(See Chapters 731, 732 and others for details.
) Having done all this, Ling Tianzun waited quietly again.
She witnessed the transformation of the Wasteland Ruins, the outbreak of the Jingping Calamity, saw that youth's agonized howls, no road to heaven, no door into earth; still she waited, waiting for the return of Mu Tianzun. These years, she had pondered the Miluo Palace dao patterns and attained ever greater heights.
In truth, by this point she could already have used her own strength to dissolve the state imposed on her by the Unchanging Divine Art; the mysteries of the Hongmeng runes and the Miluo Palace dao patterns she had already unraveled seven or eight parts in ten. She began to ponder the changes within the dao patterns, and her understanding of the conservation of mass and energy grew ever deeper. One day, she saw Shen Mu come again to the Yong River.
This time Shen Mu rode a golden ship — the Miluo Palace's golden ship of deliverance across the world, the very ship that had sent her out of the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness. Ling Tianzun rose to her feet. She knew that when Shen Mu urged her hairpin and entered the mist, that would be the day she escaped her trap, and the day Shen Mu, Kaihuang and the others returned from forty thousand years ago.
As Hao Tianzun, the Taisu Goddess and Xiao Tianzun made their painted entrances one after another, entering the mist of the Yong River and vanishing, this day had finally come!
Ling Tianzun raised her head. The sky split open, and the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness appeared in the Ultimate Void!
