Chapter 1915 - 1501: Divine Beauty—Despair That Suffocates

Even Shi Wujue himself couldn’t help but mock his own absurd thoughts!

The Moon God who had already fallen, whose name had appeared on the God’s Tomb, how could she be resurrected?

The Shi Family could use the Formation to disguise the heavenly secrets, but the God’s Tomb is different. It was left by the Ancestral God, said to contain the essence of Heavenly Dao’s creation, which cannot possibly have errors or be concealed!

Therefore, this red-clothed woman who battles against the tides in this world is absolutely not the Moon Goddess Posuo!

Saying this, Shi Wujue became even more certain in his heart that it was his own foolishness that entrapped him in such a predicament...

"This..." Upon hearing Shi Wujue’s words, Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words.

They knew nothing about the Ancient Wilderness Times; everything they knew came from Shi Wujue!

From the legends passed down by his ancestors!

The line between truth and falsehood was blurred, and Gu Changsheng didn’t have the ability to distinguish them, as all of this was beyond her comprehension!

Gu Changsheng didn’t arrogantly think she could foresee everything. Unknown was unknown; incomprehensible was incomprehensible!

However, since Ta You had instructed her to watch, she had no choice but to comply!

For a moment, in the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower, no one spoke; Shi Wujue calmed his emotions, and his face, which had startled the world, suddenly showed relief!

No matter what truth he pursued, as long as they were inching closer to it, Shi Wujue was already satisfied!

Generations of searching over millennia could find liberation in him, and Shi Wujue suddenly felt that the heavens still held a vestige of mercy for his Shi Family!

Death is not frightening.

It is better than dying without knowing why!

To achieve his desired outcome before death, Shi Wujue felt he should be grateful!

Shi Wujue’s gratitude was unknown to Gu Changsheng, who stood dumbfounded outside the towering waves, as if watching a grand 3D film. She watched the red-clothed woman, through her gestures, turn the tide, save lives destined to perish...

She didn’t know why, but Gu Changsheng felt that on that little boat, the slender red figure was imbued with a hint of resolve, a sense of unwavering commitment, a determination to serve even at the cost of life...

Gu Changsheng didn’t know if this was an illusion, but she truly felt it!

Even though the Goddess’s back appeared to be so righteous and unwavering, Gu Changsheng strangely felt sadness...

Gu Changsheng shook her head, trying to dispel such absurd thoughts from her mind!

Godfather, what was she even thinking?

That is a Goddess—according to Shi Wujue, a noble True Goddess, so supreme, standing at the peak of existence, how could she harbor such resolute emotions?

A deity that could influence life and death with a mere gesture, change the course of nature, reshape rivers and mountains, how could she feel sadness or resolve?

Especially when this Goddess, at this very moment, is performing the grand feat of turning the tides to rescue all beings, how could a Goddess so righteous feel sadness or despair?

An illusion!

This must be her illusion!

Gu Changsheng shook her head again, but this cognition in her mind couldn’t be shaken off, as if etched deep within...

And at this moment, the red-clothed Goddess standing proudly on the small boat had already rescued all the beings from the crashing waves...

Clearly, it’s just a small boat!

Clearly, it’s a tiny boat amidst the boundless waves, almost negligible!

Yet, everyone could see it clearly!

That little ark seemed to contain all things, seemed to encompass everything...

Amidst the towering waves, the cries, screams, and helpless shouts from those who had died or were barely alive echoed from the boat, filling the entire Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower!

Gu Changsheng seemed to see clearly the expressions of creatures from the Ancient Wilderness Times, their bewildered faces, terrified eyes...

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt heartache!

Truly heartache!

Though Gu Changsheng was not a saint, watching the multitude lying lifeless on the boat, faces ashen, devoid of breath, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt heartache...

Her hands, stained with much blood; although Gu Changsheng had killed countless, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she killed like flies, yet she always adhered to the principle of not attacking unless provoked, never harming ordinary people!

Those millions who had died were ordinary people!

But when the immortals fight, the Ghosts suffer!

The devastation from the Gods’ battle rolled like waves, and even those separated by infinity could feel despair, let alone those who lived then?

What path was there to turn to? What route to survival?

A disaster without reason!

For the beings from the Ancient Wilderness Times, dying under the scourge of the Gods’ war was undoubtedly a disaster without cause!

They died so unjustly, so bewildered!

Perhaps, even to their death, they didn’t know why they had to die!

"Ah..."

Right as Gu Changsheng gazed upon that leafy boat laden with countless dying souls, clutching her chest with a slight ache of heart, a faint sigh echoed from the distance, drawing near...

The sound, hollow and ethereal, seemed to traverse countless epochs, imbued with empathy and helplessness, laden with sorrow and finality...

The divine sound, vast and boundless...

In this moment, the hand Gu Changsheng had pressed against her chest suddenly froze...

She couldn’t fathom why, but upon hearing that divine sound, Gu Changsheng seemed to distinctly feel the pounding beat of her heart. Was it shock? Excitement? Or some other ineffable emotion?

Gu Changsheng didn’t know!

All she could do was widen her eyes in astonishment, staring intently at the source of the sound...

That sigh indeed came from the leafy boat, from the Red-robed Goddess suspended above it...

The divine sound!

The sigh of a deity!

Could such a sound truly make one’s heart race uncontrollably?

Gu Changsheng clutched her erratically beating chest, her face a mask of inexplicable shock!

For some reason, in that instant, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a pang of tension! Unfathomable tension!

As if... something terrible was about to happen...

And just then, the Red-robed Goddess upon the boat slowly spread her arms...

The crimson garb fluttered with the wind, grandly billowing behind the Goddess...

"No! Don’t!"

Without knowing why, upon seeing the Goddess spread her arms, Gu Changsheng instinctively took a step forward, reaching out a hand as if to grasp something, and cried out in a daze!

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, hearing this, immediately turned towards Gu Changsheng...

Don’t?

Don’t what?

Why did she say such words at this moment?

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue were puzzled, and Gu Changsheng was even more baffled!

Under the confused gazes of the two men, Gu Changsheng shook her head desperately, she didn’t know! She didn’t know!

She had no idea why she felt so tense, why she exclaimed ’don’t come’!

What shook Gu Changsheng even more was that, after her voice sounded, she clearly saw the fleeting stiffness of the Red-robed Goddess hanging above the leafy boat...

Gu Changsheng seemed to see the Goddess slightly tilt her head, wanting to turn back but not doing so...

Did she...

Hear it?

No!

Impossible!

How could she possibly hear?

Not to mention these unfolding scenes are but scattered, fragmented memories of the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, even they appeared so close before the eyes, stretched across the boundless ages!

These scenes were facts that happened at the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, their existence had become memories!

Even if the Goddess were a True God, she couldn’t foresee that one day, a group would see these shards of memory in the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower, nor could she know that there would be a woman like Gu Changsheng who, at this moment, would cry out "Don’t!" to her silhouette.

The Red-robed Goddess on the leafy boat, slightly stiffened figure, her motion of slightly turning her face, was small enough to ignore!

Had Gu Changsheng not stared at her without blinking, perhaps she would doubt whether all this was merely her illusion!

For it was utterly impossible for the Goddess to hear her voice!

Yet, the Goddess seemed, absurdly, as if she had heard...

After a moment’s hesitation, the Goddess returned to her former stance, her arms once again spread, her blood-red gown resumed its fluttering...

Luminous pale golden light suddenly drifted from her pale golden hair...

Like starlight, upon the frozen colossal waves, it seemed like a breathtaking display of fireflies!

Beauty that stifled breath, beauty that... evoked despair!

"What is she doing? Shi Wujue? What is she doing?" Unprovoked, Gu Changsheng’s heart ached again, this time the pain from her chest surpassed the earlier sympathy for those thousands who died, this was an agony true and profound!

As if, it came from the soul!

As though, etched in flesh and blood!

As if, innate!

"She... she... she..." At this moment, even Shi Wujue’s face, awe-inspiring to the world, showed a boundless shock, raising his hand to point...
