He turned around and saw that the stone with the name of the Extreme Cold Clan on it had revealed its original form.
Unfamiliar names were carved on the stone surface, and even the two people who had just been playing around quieted down and searched for their own names on it.
Yu also found her own name. She didn't need to confirm it. Her name was bound to her soul. As long as she saw the name, she would know that it was hers. That's why Shen Mo needed to use his other real name to succeed when he split his soul.
"That's my name." The cat-eared man crossed his arms and muttered to himself with a complicated expression, "Mao Li... Hmph, what an idiot."
—Believing in the wrong person and being trapped here for so many years, what else could you be but a fool?
With the name recovered, memories naturally surfaced from the depths of their sealed origins.
"I knew I was here to be a savior." Lin Niang's eyes were filled with tears, but she still stubbornly waved her fist, as if that would make her indestructible.
They had different reactions when they regained their memories of their names—some were sad, some were happy, some were angry, and some were resentful—but not one of them said they regretted coming here.
The sealed names took away their memories, but not their noble character.
"Mo Yu!"
Shen Mo emerged from the array base and saw the woman who resembled Qin Moyu. He didn't even have time to greet her, only nodding hurriedly before walking to Qin Moyu's side and saying, "The array has been destroyed. The Path to Heaven must see the light of day again. We can't stay here any longer. Let's go quickly!"
The destruction of the formation in the extreme cold region will cause the normally balanced spiritual energy to surge violently. Not to mention the sudden release of the spiritual energy used to maintain the formation in the extreme cold region, which is something that ordinary people cannot resist.
Qin Moyu suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Yu.
"follow us."
Yu could see what Qin Moyu hadn't said, but she just shook her head and led them to flee eastward.
The chaotic spiritual energy mixed with the wind and snow formed natural wind blades, which could easily cut you if you were not careful.
The spiritual energy stored in the array continued to gather in the sky, eventually condensing into a thick, black liquid that covered the originally gray sky and swallowed all the light in the world over time.
The entire frigid land was shrouded in deep darkness, so dark that even the sound of wind and snow was swallowed up. Qin Moyu and the others, who had not yet escaped, even began to doubt their own existence.
It was a very mysterious feeling. Even though my consciousness was perfectly clear, I couldn't feel the existence of my body, or even the "existence" itself. It was as if I had fallen into nothingness and returned to the moment of utter desolation.
Without living beings, without heaven and earth, without the concept of time, it's like a stagnant pool.
Even the Heavenly Dao, which had long since fled, was trapped in this void, and immense panic spread through its heart.
This emptiness... He has experienced it!
When He still possessed all the authority of the Heavenly Dao, He "saw" that before consciousness was born and before the world came into existence, there was only this void.
In the void, I don't know how much time passed.
He came and planted a seed in the void.
The seed takes root in nothingness, and under his care, it gradually grows into a graceful lotus flower, and the world is conceived within the lotus pod.
That fleeting glance at him became a calamity for Heaven.
I want to... I want to... I want to be like you...
A natural longing for the Creator, fueled by the resentment of impending destruction, gave rise to the earliest desires in the depths of one's heart.
The reason why his facial features failed to materialize for so long was not because of a lack of spiritual energy, but because the Heavenly Dao desired to transform into the same form as him.
But what does he look like?
No one can answer this, not even the will of Heaven.
His appearance changes every second. He says his name is Chu.
In the beginning, the source of all things, the origin of all things, he is all things, and all living beings.
All living beings are multifaceted, yet also faceless.
I gave you many chances.
This is the first time Heaven has truly seen him, and it will also be the last.
"I……"
The Heavenly Dao opened its mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He wanted to say that He was right, that everything He did was to become more like Him, and that it was better to help Him solidify his body than to let these parasites destroy the world.
Ke Chu simply placed her index finger to her lips.
【Shh——】
Listen, that's the sound of flowers blooming.
The first sound in the void is the movement of a seed breaking through the embryo.
But the sound was too faint, so faint that the seedlings would die in the void at the slightest wind or rain.
Until that budding flower blossomed, the sound resounded through the void, and the world was born.
Qin Moyu saw it.
—That blue lotus standing tall and graceful in the void.
The sound of flower buds blooming seemed to come from a distant place, yet it also seemed to be right next to us. A faint light appeared in the sky, and then gradually grew bigger and bigger!
Until the light pierced through the darkness, Qin Moyu found herself again and saw the path to heaven.
