Chapter 3479: The Sound of Heaven Fades
Luo Sha, with her delicate mind, sensed that Heavenly Sound Divine Mother had a tone of final arrangements, and quickly said: "Mother, why exactly are you all planning all of this? After the Calamity of Quantities destroys the world, can there truly be a brand new world? Is the new world necessarily better than the current one? You should understand that wherever there are living beings, there will inevitably be filth, evil, slaughter, conflict, greed... The new world is merely a continuation of the old one. Your daughter truly finds it hard to comprehend your beliefs!"
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother smiled without speaking, then said: "As for the future, who can see it clearly?"
Luo Sha fell into thought, saying: "Can Fate not determine the future?"
"Fate can only determine the future of most people, it is not absolute," said Heavenly Sound Divine Mother.
Luo Sha felt that her mother's words were very different from usual, as if hinting at something to her.
In the past, her mother had absolute faith in Fate, and had always instilled this faith in her. It was precisely because of this that Luo Sha firmly believed in Fate.
Luo Sha thought of something and was about to ask.
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother spoke first, her eyes somewhat dazed: "Tell your father, I have never done anything to harm him. I have no regrets in this life, only hate... only hate that we were born in the wrong era."
"You can tell him yourself. Father is the softest-hearted toward family. As long as Mother is willing to admit her mistake, my elder brother and I will plead for you, and we might still get through this life-and-death crisis. Ruochen will definitely help us too. As long as he goes to plead with Heavenly Mother, and as long as Heavenly Mother speaks up, even the Destiny Temple cannot take you away."
Luo Sha's eyes were already reddening, unable to bear losing her closest kin.
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother said: "Zhang Ruochen is someone worth entrusting, but he is too outstanding. Just having broken through to the Infinite Realm, he can already contend with the most top-tier veteran powerhouses in the universe, participating in conflicts that affect the structure of heaven and earth, already showing the sharp edge of a young Primordial Ancestor. Do you know what this means?"
Luo Sha's mind was not on this, and she only shook her head.
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother said: "It means he is destined not to belong only to you. This is the gain and loss! You can only become a part of his life, but you cannot make him your only one. Perhaps, on a day far, far in the future, when you are already white-haired and aged, while he remains as young and vigorous as now, you will understand these words of your mother."
"Mother, let me send you away!"
Luo Sha did not want to think too far ahead, only wanting to solve the most urgent problem at hand, and walked toward Heavenly Sound Divine Mother.
But she saw Heavenly Sound Divine Mother slowly stand up first, having already broken through the seal Zhang Ruochen had placed on her.
Luo Sha was not panicked, nor did she immediately summon the gods outside the formation tower.
Because she firmly believed that her mother would never harm her.
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother walked step by step to the window, looking through the lattice at the sky outside, saying: "Today's Rakshasa Divine City is truly different from the past hundred thousand years, so noisy, so bright."
"No one knows if there will be a perfect new world after the Calamity of Quantities, but the Calamity of Quantities will come eventually!"
"Mother!"
Luo Sha had just walked over, her fingers touching Heavenly Sound Divine Mother.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Heavenly Sound Divine Mother's divine body burned from her feet to her head, turning into specks of light like fireflies, scattering onto Luo Sha.
Like falling flowers turning into mud, nourishing the seeds in the soil.
She used a special technique of passing down power, transferring all her cultivation to Luo Sha.
"Boom!"
Luo Shengtian crashed through the gate of the formation tower, just in time to see this scene, and then tears burst from his eyes, and he knelt on the spot.
Regardless of whether Heavenly Sound Divine Mother was a member of the Quantity Organization, she was still the mother who loved them the most.
Luo Shengtian firmly believed that his mother had unavoidable difficulties. In the end, she was just a Quantity Envoy, and many things were not within her control.
Luo Sha stood by the window, her whole body covered in white flames. Her bright and beautiful eyes were now misty, two lines of clear tears sliding from the corners of her eyes.
...
The catastrophe that had affected Rakshasa Divine City, Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, and the surrounding star domains had finally come to an end!
Shen Tu Ghost Emperor was sealed by the powerful figures of the Hell Realm and suppressed into the Origin Divine Temple.
Er Daren ultimately failed to successfully self-destruct his divine heart, was trapped by the city-protecting divine formation, and turned into a cloud of spiritual power. These clouds of spiritual power were separately sealed into nineteen divine temples.
Afterward, the powerful figures of the Hell Realm rushed to the depths of the starry sky to assist Heavenly Mother in killing Qiangshake.
Zhang Ruochen still could not escape Feng Tian's grasp, and was taken by her to the deep space battlefield.
Along the way, space was shattered everywhere.
Everywhere were burning fragments of planets, the residual forces of Heavenly Mother and Qiangshake crisscrossing in all directions, beating the rules of heaven and earth into incompleteness.
"Your First-rank Divine Path is somewhat interesting!"
After saying this, Feng Tian struck a second Death Qi into Zhang Ruochen's body, along with Death Rule Divine Patterns.
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor drove a patch of dark clouds to Feng Tian's side, saying: "The artifact spirit of the Yellow Spring Seal informed that the Heavenly Venerable and Di have fought into the future."
This was within Feng Tian's expectations, and she was not too surprised.
She said: "Does the artifact spirit know the identity of the Calamity Quantity Emperor?"
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor's face was grave, shaking his head: "At that time, the Yellow Spring Seal was very far away, separated by more than a light-year. It only knew that the Calamity Quantity Emperor's spiritual power was extremely terrifying, having reached a level where he could contend with the Heavenly Venerable."
Feng Tian's brows showed a contemplative expression, saying: "With spiritual power reaching that level, it is normal that the artifact spirit could not sense his true form."
If the artifact spirit could sense the Calamity Quantity Emperor, the Calamity Quantity Emperor would surely sense it first. How could it have had the chance to break the Calamity Quantity Emperor's spiritual power halo?
To contend with Fengdu Dadi using spiritual power alone, one must be far from an ordinary Heaven Round No Gap cultivator.
At the very least, one must reach the level of Star Sea Angler!
And one must have made thorough preparations.
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor said: "The artifact spirit speculates that the Calamity Quantity Emperor is very likely not one of the currently known Heaven Round No Gap cultivators, but a cultivator who has hidden their spiritual power."
Feng Tian nodded lightly, saying: "That is the only possibility."
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor said meaningfully: "Then this person could be anyone, and must have some connection with Heavenly Sound."
Feng Tian knew what he was implying, and looked in another direction.
There, Fortune Divine Venerable, driving the Gate of Destiny, appeared before them, flying forward together.
Fortune Divine Venerable let out a long sigh: "Heavenly Sound has fallen!"
Just now, Feng Tian and Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor had also sensed it.
"As her master, I am ashamed! But, I have never believed she was a member of the Quantity Organization. Even if she truly was, she must have been coerced."
Fortune Divine Venerable's eyes carried strong emotion and unspeakable sadness.
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor had suspected Fortune Divine Venerable, but seeing him like this, his heart could not help but waver.
If Fortune Divine Venerable were the Calamity Quantity Emperor, at this time, he should be thinking of how to distance himself from Heavenly Sound Divine Mother.
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor said: "Heavenly Sound is a Quantity Agent, this has been confirmed! You are her master, you should have noticed some clues, right?"
Fortune Divine Venerable shook his head, saying: "The Calamity Quantity Emperor is too formidable. Even Luo Yan, who was closest to her, could not see through it. I have only just entered the Great Unbound Infinite Realm, and cannot yet analyze the methods of a Heaven Round No Gap. It's a pity, I didn't expect her to end up like this. If she had any unavoidable difficulties, she should have told me! Even if I couldn't solve it, the Destiny Temple would surely have been able to help her. The Yellow Spring Seal has been in this starry sky all along. It should have sensed something about the Calamity Quantity Emperor, right?"
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor said: "The artifact spirit did detect some things. Once Qiangshake is taken down, I will report to Heavenly Mother."
Zhang Ruochen followed behind Feng Tian, able to hear their exchange, and sighed inwardly. They were all old monsters, every one of them digging traps and testing each other.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had also suspected Fortune Divine Venerable. After all, the two people who had the greatest influence on Heavenly Sound Divine Mother were undoubtedly Luo Yan Great Emperor and Fortune Divine Venerable.
Fengdu Dadi was able to cooperate with Luo Yan Great Emperor, which undoubtedly showed that Luo Yan Great Emperor was not problematic.
Thus, the suspicion on Fortune Divine Venerable was very heavy!
But, if Fortune Divine Venerable were the Calamity Quantity Emperor, he would certainly not have come to the Rakshasa Clan star domain at this time, but would have gone elsewhere to create a solid alibi for himself.
At the same time, if his identity were exposed, he could also hide calmly.
As he was now, as long as he left even a single flaw, and was seen through by Heavenly Mother, Feng Tian, Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor, and the others, how could he have any chance of survival?
To dare to return, how much courage would that require?
Moreover, Fortune Divine Venerable showed no avoidance toward Heavenly Sound Divine Mother, instead revealing genuine emotion, full of regret and self-blame. Just like before, when he had shown love and protection toward Xue Jue War God and Zhang Ruochen, he was a respected elder.
If all of this were fake...
Then how terrifying would Fortune Divine Venerable be?
Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor, Feng Tian, and Fortune Divine Venerable all fell into silence, each deep in thought and calculation.
After a long while, Fortune Divine Venerable's gaze fell on Zhang Ruochen, saying: "I wonder how Feng Tian plans to deal with Ruochen?"
