Chapter 1139 — The One and Only Me
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Deep within its pupil, the ancient Dao runes upon the Celestial Emperor Taichu Egg lit up one after another, converging into a gaze. The Shen Script Continent trembled, and ripples surged through the Great Dao of the Nether Capital, flowing toward the Taichu Primordial Stone at the heart of the continent. The primordial stone gathered the Dao of Taichu and the Great Dao of the Nether Capital, and the might of the Third Holy Eye gradually increased. Shen Mu used the eye between his brows to look at Bai Yuqiong, and at once he saw the legendary course of the female emperor's life: her birth, her rise to become a practitioner of divine abilities, then a god; her evasion of death time and again, her escapes from the Yin Son's schemes; her fame spreading throughout the world in the Founding Emperor Era, and her own plot against the Yin Son.
Shen Mu's gaze grew deeper still as he saw her previous life, and the life before that, tracing backward again and again through the history of her deaths. Bai Yuqiong stood there, then suddenly tossed aside the Vermilion Bird feather.
Turning around, she smiled. "Heavenly Venerate Mu, I do not want to know.
I am myself, the one and only me! In this world, there is only one Bai Yuqiong! " Her long hair streamed through the air, severing Shen Mu's line of sight. Then she turned and departed, free and graceful.
Bai Yuqiong reached the Spirit Energy Transposition Bridge and glanced back with a smile. "Heavenly Venerate Mu, I am not the South Emperor!
If you want to make me the South Emperor, then you will become my enemy! " She pressed her palm against the altar of the Spirit Energy Transposition Bridge and stepped into the radiance. "Heavenly Venerate Mu, Heavenly Venerate Haotian has lost a disciple, and the White Emperor has lost a beloved general. They will certainly come to investigate.
I will buy you some time, so you should leave while you can.
" Her figure vanished, and the Spirit Energy Transposition Bridge collapsed with a thunderous crash. "What an intelligent woman. What an intelligent woman.
. . " Shen Mu gazed at the fallen altar and murmured, "Should I awaken her, let her become the South Emperor Vermilion Bird, or should I leave her unawakened and let her remain Bai Yuqiong? " He picked up the Vermilion Bird feather and examined it for a long while.
Behind him, Yan'er slew the four experts of the Yujing realm, then immediately helped the Dragon Qilin exterminate the gods and demons under the White Emperor aboard the tower ship.
Shen Mu stared at the Vermilion Bird feather and thought, "To awaken the South Emperor's soul is equivalent to killing Bai Yuqiong.
Yet is Bai Yuqiong not the South Emperor? Even if I awaken the South Emperor Vermilion Bird, Bai Yuqiong's memories will not vanish. They will become part of the South Emperor's memories accumulated over her long years.
.
. " Yan'er flew over, chattering excitedly.
"Young Master, it is all done! Where is my mother? " Shen Mu handed her the Vermilion Bird feather. "Yan'er, your mother does not want to become the South Emperor. She is too clever.
From my words, she guessed that she is the South Emperor's reincarnation, but she feels it is better to remain Bai Yuqiong, or rather, Que Feiyin. She believes that awakening the South Emperor's memories would mean the end of Bai Yuqiong, or Que Feiyin.
" Yan'er looked somewhat bewildered and murmured, "But are Bai Yuqiong, Que Feiyin, and the South Emperor Vermilion Bird not all her? " Shen Mu put away the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage and treated Yu Chudu's broken bones. "Bai Yuqiong has severed the Spirit Energy Transposition Bridge. She wants to delay Heavenly Venerate Haotian or the White Emperor from reaching this place, but she also does not want us to return to the Celestial Court. More than that, she fears that I will make her die once more in order to revive the South Emperor's soul. " Yan'er remained lost and confused.
"But they are all her. .
