Chapter 1459: Chapter 235: Past and Present Rise and Fall
“Thank you, Goddess Sister!”
Although the little girl was frail, her eyes were bright. After politely expressing her gratitude, she nibbled on the wheat cake in small bites, cherishing it like a little squirrel, while her mother bowed repeatedly to Bai Qinghan, almost about to kneel, repeatedly calling out for the Goddess’s longevity.
Bai Qinghan wanted precisely this effect. With the mother and daughter as examples, the refugees, who were in panic and unease, soon cald down significantly.
However, the next day, Bai Qinghan saw that mother not far from the village, in the newly planned cetery.
The cetery was deserted, with only two new graves—two refugees who had choked to death from eating too quickly. And now, a third had appeared.
The woman, the mother, sat silently by the small earthen grave. She did not cry or express deep sorrow, only gently caressing the fresh soil, as if stroking her child’s cheek.
Bai Qinghan stood from afar; she did not approach or ask questions.
She understood everything.
It was just like this: after prolonged escape, being short of food, having eaten too many toxic berries and barks, or even things like Guanyin Soil, plus the environntal pollution from the Blood Sea Tribulation, even adults could hardly withstand it—let alone a child, which was undoubtedly worse.
Until yesterday, she could barely hold on. Those bright eyes might just have been a fleeting glimr. But after a good al and a good night’s sleep… as the spirit relaxed… the oil already exhausted could no longer ignite a fla; the oil was gone, and the lamp burned out.
Bai Qinghan never felt guilty about these events; she had indeed done everything she could, with cleaning, examination, food, water source, shelter, and resettlent—her governance was that comprehensive.
Refugees dying only signified their lack of fortune. That mother did not cry, presumably knowing her daughter was unfortunate, unable to live a stable life.
Only…
Powerless.
“That little girl was smart, quite obedient too, very much like .”
Sighing lightly, Bai Qinghan shook her head, and the Golden Flag Envoy laughed heartily, teasingly saying, “Eldest sister, are you truly obedient? Oh, indeed very obedient in front of Eldest Senior!”
“Shut up,” Bai Qinghan retorted, annoyed, “If you talk any more, I’ll bury you too.”
Those Children of Calamity who chose to follow Bai Qinghan mostly had similar indifferent temperants, having endured suffering so they also viewed others’ suffering as trivial. Managing these loyal but emotionless beings was her daily work.
As her thoughts drifted, Bai Qinghan couldn’t help but look up, gazing toward the distant Shenjing direction.
She knew that everything she was doing here—harboring refugees, establishing order—was ultimately no more than a drop in the ocean.
The Blood Sea Demon Sect and other forces secretly propelling the Blood Sea Tribulation created everything of ‘today’. The refugees here at the Western Mountain border are few, as more refugees are heading south, towards Da Chen’s center, where real suffering and terror are occurring.
To solve these problems, simply handling ‘today’ is not enough. The cause and effect forged by ‘yesterday’, those elents of death, were already sown in the past.
Now and ancient tis.
Past and present.
Under the rainy sky, the setting sun was falling, and today was about to turn into yesterday, ushering in tomorrow.
If the present is not handled well, if the present is not handled well, it will plant bad causes in yesterday, bringing bitter fruit in tomorrow, leading to calamity and disaster, punishnt and retribution,
It is at this mont.
Bai Qinghan’s eyes slightly widened.
She saw it.
Saw a phantasmal and indistinct, yet indeed manifest star at the far end of distant space-ti, above the sunset of the Heavenly Do in the Huai Xu Realm, a blood-colored star.
“That is…”
She suddenly had a feeling: “Eldest Senior?”
It was also at this mont, Bai Qinghan heard a voice.
[The ti has co, Xuanyin.]
It was a steady old man’s voice, also… the voice of the current Heavenly Intent Sect Master of the Heavenly Will Divine Sect: [The opportunity has co, your cause and effect has arrived… take this, and go to Shenjing.]
Listening to this, a bright and clear Light Wheel like a moon appeared in Bai Qinghan’s heart, and she did not inquire why, for she knew what the Sect Master ant.
“This ti, Eldest Senior will also go to Shenjing, right.”
She thought calmly, lowering her gaze, feeling neither elated nor excited, only a sense of inevitability: “Indeed, it’s also ti, although a bit early, but now is also fine.”
—The ti has co.
—Cause and effect are converging, ti is flowing, though it’s still early, the sooner the disaster befalls, the more effective it will be.
—So worlds have already undergone change, have already ended.
—And so worlds are about to undergo change, are about to end.
—It will surely usher in rebirth, usher in demise.
—Usher in blade and blood.
The world is being altered.
Nurous possibilities are being altered.
From death to life, from extinction to prosperity, even from the imaginable end, reaching the unimaginable future.
In the Tianyuan Realm, in the Huai Xu Realm, subtly visible, at the top of the Heavenly Do, that crimson large star can be seen.
In the void surrounding the Tianyuan Realm, in his own Cave Heaven, with eyes closed in ditation and calm heart-refinent, An Jing heard a voice.
[An Jing…]
[An Jing…]
An Jing slightly opened his eyes, listening to the voice calling his na, pondering in his heart: “I am currently situated between the Tianyuan Realm and the North Heaven Cave Heaven, within my own void Cave Heaven, the power initiated by the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon is protecting . To communicate with , unless it is the Grandmaster at the Cave Heaven’s center.”
“Or, the innermost part of the Tianyuan world, over by the center of all things…”
Thinking to this point, An Jing was imdiately clear in heart: “You are… Tianyuan?”
[I once was, and now, having gained self, I am not, and cannot be…]
The voice softly spoke.
Then, before An Jing’s eyes, sothing extrely minute yet imnsely grand appeared.
At first, it was a small dot.
This dot twinkled like a star, flickering, wavering between bright and dark, almost impossible to discern.
But then, seemingly from an enormous, magnificent, incredible explosion, it began rapidly enlarging, expanding, then transforming into countless straight lines, like ti, like destiny, like branches of infinite possibility flowing, surging.
And these branching flows infinitely differentiated into infinite branches, those infinite branches eternally spawning infinite tributaries, and these tributaries converging, condensing, interweaving, rging into a…
Python.
…
A silver one, as if forged from steel, as if condensed from starlight, an endless one, traversing the entirety, infiltrating all ti and destiny, encompassing all possibilities, the [Python].
But is it a python?
Perhaps.
…
Crawling upon the river of ti, entwining atop the tree of infinite branching, it is both the infinite ring and the perpetual revolution, both chaos’s all and the anchored everything.
It is both the beginning and the end, creation and termination, devouring the future and generating the past, also devouring the past and generating the future.
It is one and infinite, naless and nad, created by n and creator of n, encompassing everything yet surpassed by all.
That is the… an intelligence which should not exist, yet possesses infinite wisdom, without self, yet is the collection of all selves… ultimately, the initial ‘Spirit.’
It is nad…
[Heavenly Dao]
[Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao], that enormously vast, nearly unable to be fully seen, simultaneously visible head and tail behemoth, that silver, steel-like, infinite ti, infinite possibility python, rumbled in a voice like thunder, like a tidal torrent: [I should not have ‘’, I should not be describable, I should not have a na, I should not appear before you, nor should be able to communicate with you]
[And yet now, I can be described]
[Therefore, hopelessly, I can now et you]
