"T-The E-earth deity…" Feng Po Po answered and imdiately buried her face in her palms. The trendous power the earth deity carried scared her…More than she had expected.
**
'If you ever et the Earth deity, don't think, don't stare. Just run! Run away like there is no tomorrow!' The warning Feng Po Po had given her before ran across her mind like a wild horse.
A cold shiver ran down her spine. It was not because of Earth Deity and his power. There was sothing else that was scaring her more.
The similarity that she and the other girl carried!
They both had knowledge of earth, had a system; although it was just a guess, there was a 99.9 percent chance of that girl having a system with her and finally, a deity that was attached to their soul. It was as if fate was tired of seeing her life and decided to have fun by ssing with things.
Le Fang Ling too buried her face in her palm, her thoughts running around trying to find the invisible tail of the thread that was running in her mind. There was still sothing she seed to be missing.
'Why did she say she was going to co to et again?' She clenched her palm into a fist. A grunt left her mouth as the prideful face of the girl ran on her mind. The tanned skin of her represented the mud, the earth quite beautifully.
"The Earth Deity… he is the one of the edgiest among all of us," Feng Po Po said as she finally cald down. She had been in seclusion for five hundred years. For the damn five hundred years, she had cultivated enough power to rival anyone but there was sothing she was lacking.
It was the ambition and intention. She cultivated her power because she was expected to do so. There was no other reason. She never had the lust for power and strength. Everything she did was what other people expected her to do.
But the earth elent deity, he was different. Even after the separation of five hundred years, she still trembled at his presence. Even after growing stringer, she felt like an ant in front of his power.
"That girl, her skin color is the favorite color of the Earth-deity, he had always been one of a choosy one among the five of us," she said with a sigh. "There is no doubt, he chose that girl to be worthy of wielding his power."
Le fang Ling noted everything had been saying in her head. Hearing about the obsession of the Earth deity with a tanned girl more or less confird that she was indeed the holder of the power bestowed by Earth Deity. Like Feng Po Po, there was soone else who had absolute control over one elent of nature.
"Do you think sothing is going on? I have a real bad feeling about this," Le fang Ling looked at Feng Po Po who was no more hovering in the air. She was sitting alongside her in the seat.
As powerful as she was, Feng Po Po could not predict the future. She did not have that power. So she simply shook her head. There was nothing more she could tell to her.
"Thank you for being brave! ans a lot," Le Fang Ling rubbed her back with affection. She had never seen that look of terror in Feng Po Po's eyes before.
"Wait," Feng Po Po jerked up from her seat as if she had rembered sothing. She spoke suddenly, startling both Le Fang Ling and Nagina.
"Oh, what is it?" Le Fang Ling asked while picking up Nagina who was on the floor. She had fallen on the floor. She was pretty sure she was not hurt but still decided to double-check.
"Sorry about that," Feng Po Po apologized with a brief smile before returning to her solemn face. "I rembered sothing important. Rember what I said about the five elental deities scattering all around the continent before?"
Le fang Ling did rember sothing of this sort. She nodded her head as she prodded her to continue. They were already entering the fifth match of the day and she was sure, An Cheng's turn was about to co anyti soon.
"While I shut myself in the wind scroll, the one belonging to Mo family, the remaining other deities too went into seclusion and disappeared from the place they were supposed to be." Feng Po Po sat down and continued her story. It was going to be a long one with many unsolved things. All she could hope was Le Fang Ling was not bored to death.
"Let start with the history, sothing that happened many many centuries ago," Feng Po Po looked up in the sky as if looking at a different world that was only visible to her eyes. "It was around 1000 years ago, not much honestly but it's pretty much compared to human life."
Le fang Ling kind of could guess what she was about to say. "Is it about the great war between the human world and the world behind that fort? The world of the so-called formless?"
Feng Po Po looked at her for a bit without any expression on her face before she finally looked away with a nod of her neck. "Yes, it was that war," Feng Po Po brought her knees up and hugged it with her hands. Resting her chin on her knee, she took a deep breath.
Looking at the current Le Fang Ling, she looked like a young girl who was going through problems in her adolescence but had no one to talk to. This scene was a bit…saddening.
"I, we and my brothers and sisters assisted the cultivators during the fight, but we did suffer a big loss on pour side too," Feng Po Po mumbled. "Our power is not limitless and we are not invincible."
Le Fang Ling did not make any comnt and simply let her continue talking. Feng Po Po smiled when she realized this.
"The aftermath of the war was terrible…it was more terrible than the war itself," frowning, Feng Po Po tightened the arms around her knees. "There was hunger, there was an illness, there was chaos, and there was death! You could see the shadow of the death god lurking around every day."
"Victory never guarantees eternal happiness, especially if it was made on the sacrifice of soone," a sad whimper left her mouth as the past ca to life in her mory, looking like a fresh scene.
As for Le fang Ling, this was the first ti she was hearing about this. She imdiately got alert about the things that were being said.
"You an soone died?"
Le Fang Ling asked.
"Hehe, you act like a dummy at tis," Feng Po Po chuckled, a bit amused about her. "It was not only one person who died-many people died…"
"But there was soone who did sothing, she was one stupid little girl," a smile lit up on her face. Le Fang Ling looked in awe at the soft expression on her face, a smile she had never noticed on her face blood in her pale face.
"She was soone special?" Le fang Ling asked. She was a bit curious about that person.
"Special? Well, she did do sothing. I have no idea how or why she could do that, but she helped to refine my techniques. I was still getting hang of controlling my power but she taught things that even I never had thought were possible."
"Hmm, so in that case, it is sothing special, maybe." Feng Po Po chuckled, the rosy tint finally returning to her cheeks. She no longer looked pale as a ghost.
"Like what?" Le fang Ling was not done with her questions. She wanted to know more about the person here.
"I thought the wind was the only power I had, but you know how wind can be anywhere? She made realize wind itself had various properties, all which I could exploit."
"During that ti, there was a young kid from Mo family who practiced with my techniques, more like the techniques from the Mo family. He was more like my apprentice back then," said Feng Po Po. "I can still feel his presence so that ans he is still here."
"You an Elder Mo of the library? He was the one who gave the wind scroll saying he was the last one to have ever used it."
"After he had put it aside, for 500 years, no one had used this scroll or have tried to decipher what has been written here," Le Fang Ling said as she thought about the eting she had with elder Mo. He was pretty ashad about the title of the scroll.
"He said the na was altered a bit with the technique by so senior sister of his," she eyes Feng Po Po curiously. "Is that the sa girl that you are talking about?"
"Pfft, yes indeed," Feng Po Po burst out laughing when she heard her. The na was indeed weird but she had let the girl do what she wanted.
"Back to the topic, that girl was a carefree spirit but she died young," a bit clear-headed than before, Feng Po Po continued with her story.
"Her spirit, soul, cultivation base, essence, everything got destroyed when we faced the queen of the formless, the one who could control a legion of beasts and spirit with just her pinky," she gritted her teeth in anger.
"She was the incarnation of hell itself, Lilith! That was her na."
