Shadow Hack - Chapter 704
Chapter 704: Ancient Lands
Crow Soul Valley, which was covered in deathly stillness previously, suddenly began to show signs of life. It was the first time since in several years.
Creek waterfalls which had stopped previously began to flow quickly, and the bleak and desolate houses recovered their original appearance.
The dead trees and withered grass were once again luxurious, while the broken suspension bridge returned to its former appearance as well.
Everything suddenly recovered from their desolate looks. The entire Crow Soul Valley returned to the past times, and the entrance to the Ancient Lands was opened again!
When Li Yunmu saw it, he was extremely excited. All the clansmen of Crow Soul Valley were also resurrected because of Miss An’s actions.
Apart from her mother whose consciousness had been absorbed by her, everyone else returned to life. Of course, that didn’t include the spirit which had been scattered and dispersed by Li Yunmu.
When Miss An looked at the once again beautiful Crow Soul Valley, she couldn’t help but say with strong emotion in her voice, “So… this is my home!”
Li Yunmu had reached the doors to the Ancient Lands by then. “Many thanks to you! Now I can save the people of my homeland. You… aren’t going to come together with me?” he asked her.
Miss An shook her head and said, “I have returned home. Henceforth, I will stay here and complete my mother’s desire in her place and gradually re-organize Crow Soul Valley.”
When Li Yunmu saw Miss An, he felt that there seemed to be another woman standing beside her and that woman was smiling amiably.
“Then take care of yourself,” he said with a nod.
When faced with Li Yunmu’s departing figure, Miss An felt reluctant to part with him for some reason and hurriedly called out to him. “Li Yunmu!”
He stopped in his tracks and couldn’t help but suspiciously look at Miss An behind him. Her eyes were full of tears.
That girl, what was she up to?
“I hope that you will return alive,” Miss An said emotionally while waving her hand.
There was a chance that it was their last meeting. It might b their first and last farewell.
At that moment, many people suddenly appeared around Miss An. They were the clansmen of Crow Soul Valley who had come to send off Li Yunmu. They were all very grateful to him for helping to resurrect their clan chief and them.
Li Yunmu nodded at Miss An and walked towards the exit of Crow Soul Valley without the slightest hesitation. The entrance to the Ancient Lands was right before him.
He had come from distant lands to find it, and right then, his wish was about to finally come true.
After he entered the rotating door, he reached a desolate primordial world. He had never expected that the so-called Ancient Lands would surprisingly resemble the world when it had just begun.
Still, it was the place where gods existed, so how could it be so desolate?
There were surprisingly ten huge suns in the sky, and they constantly roasted the whole earth. No wonder then that the region before Li Yunmu was barren and without any sign of life!
Li Yunmu took out his bow and the power in his body formed arrows. Three of them instantly appeared in his hand.
“Three-part Origin Arrow!”
The three arrows flew upwards, and three of the suns were instantly shot down. The other seven, however, were still in the sky, heating the world into an inferno.
Li Yunmu pulled his bow once more and shot at three suns overhead. They also fell down the next moment.
He then shot three more, but when he pulled out the final arrow, the sun above his head spoke up. “Noble warrior, I request you to let me off! I am the only remaining scion, and still need to illuminate the human world!”
Li Yunmu put away his bow and arrow since a sun was somewhat important for the human world. He hadn’t expected to turn into Hou Yi in the Ancient Lands.
He couldn’t help but shake his head.
Suddenly two gods appeared on the horizon, busy fighting each other. Li Yunmu wanted to enquire about the ancient secret method, and the two gods could be a great source of information for him.
In the sky, the two gods were constantly trading blows. “If it were not for you, would Crow Soul Valley have become so bleak?”
“If it were not for you, would I have been able to go to the Buzhou Mountain?”
Fire God Zhurong and River God Gonggong were constantly quarrelling. The entire sky had changed color, since water and fire were incompatible. The powers of the two people filled the whole primordial world with fire and water!
Li Yunmu chose that moment to interrupt them. “You two don’t need to fight anymore. Crow Soul Valley had recovered its original appearance. I just entered the Ancient Lands through there.”
For the past several hundred years, no mortal had entered the Ancient Lands through Crow Soul Valley. Upon seeing one, a hint of alertness appeared in the eyes of Fire God Zhurong and River God Gonggong.
“Who are you?” Zhurong asked with a sneer. Based on Li Yunmu’s appearance, he should be a mortal, but how could a mortal enter the Ancient Lands?
“Mortal, I advise you that you quickly leave this place! This is not a place where you can come!” Zhurong said coldly.
Li Yunmu cupped his fist and said, “I am very sorry to disturb you two gods. My clansmen encountered an enormous crisis, and I have come here to ask for the ancient secret method to save them.”
When the two gods heard the words ‘ancient secret method’, their complexion changed instantly.
Gonggong suddenly moved to subdue Li Yunmu, and Zhurong said with his eyes wide open, “You are too brazen, mortal! You surprisingly intend to get your hands on the treasure of the Ancient Lands, the ancient secret method!”
Li Yunmu was slightly startled and moved his hands to protect himself from Gonggong while frowning. “Two respectable gods, this matter concerns the life and death of my clansmen. I hope that you both can assist me. I want the ancient secret method only to save my clansmen.”
River God Gonggong and Fire God Zhurong didn’t care about Li Yunmu’s aim at all. As long as he had designs on the ancient secret method, he had to be taken to the divine world to be interrogated properly.
“Follow us! If you have anything to say, then say it to Fuxi!”
“Fuxi?”
Li Yunmu was somewhat startled. How important was the ancient secret method to them? It did not seem like the two gods had any intention to tell him about it.
Since Li Yunmu could meet Fuxi, he did not consider fleeing. Perhaps Fuxi would know where exactly was the ancient secret method?
Li Yunmu didn’t resist and was carried away by Fire God Zhurong and River God Gonggong.
The divine world of the Ancient Lands was also known as Primordial God World. It was the dwelling of gods of the eastern domain. Although Li Yunmu didn’t know how many ancient gods had awakened, he was certain that all the gods of the eastern domain resided there.
