Chapter 1239 - 890: The Fallen Heavenly God Race

Chapter 1239: Chapter 890: The Fallen Heavenly God Race

Behind the stone door was endless darkness, with nothing inside.

Yet Shen Tang vaguely sensed some presence of energy. She closed her eyes and used her spiritual power to see a piece of starry light appear before her, but it was so faint that it seemed to scatter with a gust of wind.

She quickly used her spiritual power to condense the light points together.

A beautiful and majestic apparition emerged before her eyes.

The woman was dressed in the heavy and intricate attire of an ancient priestess, with necklaces, bracelets, and adornments made of pearls and agate. Her long golden-brown hair shone as brilliantly as the sun, while golden sacred tattoos marked her forehead and below her eyes. Her beautiful, profound face showed faint lines of age, yet it did not diminish her sacred and dignified aura.

Even though it was just a barely gathered semi-transparent apparition, Shen Tang’s heart trembled—she had seen this attire in ancient books; it belonged to the High Priest from the ancient era.

The figure before her was probably the High Priest from Lu Xiao’s ancestral era.

The High Priest indeed possessed the mystical power to connect heaven and earth, able to preserve a trace of the Divine Soul passed down from ancient times to the descendants, truly unbelievable!

"Greetings to the High Priest. I hope the elder does not mind this descendant’s disturbance," Shen Tang respectfully saluted.

The apparition smiled, "Indeed, I was the High Priest of the Golden Feather Divine Bird Clan ten thousand years ago. I know who you are and what you wish to ask."

Shen Tang asked in surprise, "How did the Priestess know?"

"You are a foreign beastman, yet you carry the aura of my clan’s pureblood descendants. This aura does not originate from you, but rather resembles some residual energy... I assume you have nurtured a pureblood descendant of my clan."

The High Priestess’s expression was gentle and affectionate, with a hint of incredulity. She remarked, "Priests in the ancient era possessed Divination Powers. I cannot know all the details about what will happen ten thousand years later, but I can vaguely perceive the occurrence of significant events, such as the birth of a Divine Blood Descendant."

"The High Priestess’s foresight is truly remarkable. Then I won’t elaborate further. I came to ask the High Priest some questions," Shen Tang said sorrowfully, "That child has disappeared, and I seek the High Priest’s guidance on what to do."

Yet, as if foreseeing it, the High Priestess comforted her, "Do not worry, when the Divine Bloodline descends, the Origin Land will summon it back."

"The Origin Land? The legend is true! But why must my child be summoned there?" Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, as long as it wasn’t the Abyss’s doing, but still, she couldn’t fathom it.

"The reason is not so complex, but I don’t have much time to explain. Since you have spiritual power, take a look at this memory." The apparition extended a pale finger and lightly touched Shen Tang’s forehead.

Surging ancient memories poured into her mind instantly, and Shen Tang’s face turned ashen in pain for a moment! If she hadn’t had extremely strong spiritual power, her soul might have completely shattered and perished in that instant!

The truth about the fragmentation of the Origin Land, she now knew.

——Ten thousand years ago, the Ancient Divine Clan nearly all sacrificed themselves to suppress the Abyss Fallen Gods, and the intact Origin Land was split into several fragmented continents.

The most central piece of the Origin Land was sealed together with the Abyss Dark World.

In that unparalleled divine war ten thousand years ago, nearly the entire Ancient Divine Clan was wiped out.

To avoid their bloodlines from being completely terminated, they had no choice but to take this extreme measure—splitting the Origin Land, allowing the other fragmented worlds to continue functioning, aside from the Sealing Land.

This was to enable the beastman populace to continue to multiply and thrive while preserving the bloodline of the God Race.

The descendants of the Ancient Divine Clan left on the Origin Land were exceedingly rare. Unable to prevent intermarriage with other races, their bloodline would inevitably be diluted, unable to attain true inheritance, and would gradually decline into Mortal Beasts.

However, as long as there remains a trace of the Ancient Divine Clan Bloodline in the descendants, there is a chance to reawaken the glory of the God Race!

The High Priestess said, "Your child is fortunate, possessing a reversionary God Race bloodline, serving as the hope for our clan’s revival. When it is born ten thousand years from now, the inherited power left by the ancestors will summon it back. The child will not face danger; it will be protected by power, so you need not worry."

"But I haven’t even seen its appearance after hatching, it’s already gone... How am I to find it?" Shen Tang finally understood the difficulty of severing the ties of blood.

She knew the child was safe, yet she couldn’t wholeheartedly rest easy. Instead, she felt a dull ache in her heart, filled with regret and reluctance.

The High Priestess simply sighed softly, gazing at her with eyes full of pity, without answering the question.

Shen Tang’s heart suddenly clenched with a sorrowful thought—perhaps she would never see this child again in this lifetime.
