Chapter 943: Day Tour Patrols the Realms
Wanggu is too vast, its regions incredibly expansive; before the arrival of the God's Remnant Face, there were a total of thirty-seven suns!
These thirty-seven suns are each different; regardless of their material or origin, they all possess their own unique and mysterious pasts!
Among them, there is a pair of sun and moon that is even more unique!
It is rumored that countless years ago, when the Huangtian God Clan was still the master of Wanggu, there were thirty-six suns in Wanggu!
The moon was the same!
It was not until after that war between immortals and gods, when the new Wanggu was raised by the immortals, that there was one additional sun and one additional moon!
It is rumored that these extra sun and moon came from the Huangtian God Clan!
They were the gods allowed by the few remaining ancients, the Xia Xian, to live in Wanggu after the Huangtian God Clan was sealed and suppressed!
And they were required to patrol the realms of Wanggu according to their agreement!
Among them, the sun was the Crown Prince of the Huangtian God Clan, named Jin Wu, and his duty was the Day Tour!
As for that moon, its name was Zhigeng!
It represented kindness and innocence, symbolizing beautiful love, and its duty was the Night Tour!
They took turns rising into the sky, year after year, yet they could rarely meet; only in the occasional moment when the sun and moon shone together could they gaze at each other!
And what they illuminated... was not the Wanggu continent, but the mysterious and unfathomable Outer Seas!
Just like that, time passed!
The heavens and earth changed, the power of time flowed, washing away history!
With the appearance of generation after generation of cultivators, and with the constant divisions and unions of the myriad races of Wanggu, the stories and traces of the Wanggu sun and moon grew increasingly faint!
Until the Remnant Face descended!
Amidst different causalities, more than half of the thirty-seven suns fell, and only seventeen suns remained!
The stories about these suns and moons also became increasingly shallow, until they were unknown to people, becoming legends within legends!
People only knew that these seventeen suns were irregularly scattered across the Wanggu continent; the distance between some was very short, while others were infinitely far apart!
This is also the reason why parts of the Wanggu world are forever in darkness, while other parts are in eternal daylight.
And the mysterious and unfathomable Outer Seas also lost their light from then on, as both the sun and moon were lost!
But the Nanhuangzhou, the Saint Lan Great Domain, and the surrounding eleven great domains—the vast world where they are located—can be considered fortunate!
Because the sun belonging to this place has not fallen for tens of thousands of years!
It still exists!
At the break of dawn, it reveals itself from concealment, shining light upon this region, nourishing all things and living beings with its warmth!
For countless years, it has never changed, becoming a common occurrence!
Today is the same!
It is just that... this morning is somewhat special compared to the past; today's sunlight is brighter than usual, and today's temperature is richer, even viscous, compared to the past!
For all living beings, because they are accustomed to the ordinary, when something extraordinary appears within the ordinary, their senses perceive it immediately!
This is instinct!
Whether they are cultivators or mortals, of all races and all those who possess life, it is the same!
Therefore, at the moment of daybreak, when the light in this region was!
Incomparably bright, whether they were alien races or cultivators, countless mortals and even fierce beasts could not help but raise their heads and look at the sky!
The next instant, the minds of all living beings were filled with a thunderous roar, like giant waves sweeping through their souls, forming an earth-shattering storm that shook their bodies and swept through their minds!
Horror, shock, disbelief—all kinds of emotional fluctuations erupted completely at this moment!
Because for the various races living in Nanhuangzhou, the Saint Lan Great Domain, the Nanyu Great Domain, and the countless islands in the inner sea between them, the sky they looked upon!
Had two suns appear.
The world became very bright.
The blackness of the Forbidden Sea, under the illumination of these two suns, even revealed a green hue, causing all the boats traveling on the sea before dawn to stop in this shock!
There were even mortals who could not help but worship!
And all of this was extremely shocking to the Little Mute and those two Deputy Directors of the Catcher Division!
Erniu's gasping sound was still echoing!
Huang Yan's expression was even more grave!
Under the gaze of the masses, the massive, rotting giant took large strides, stepping toward the sky, the bronze dragon chariot behind it becoming increasingly brilliant!
Like a fireball, like a light source, like a great sun, the process of its rising was the sunrise!
In this endless light and heat, inside the dragon chariot, Xu Qing sat upright, his mind ethereal; his spirit was completely immersed in transforming into the Jin Wu, retracing the Day Tour and patrolling the realms!
The Jin Wu Refining Myriad Spirits Seal carved into the dragon chariot also seemed to possess life at this moment, flowing outward and appearing as individual seals of light!
After converging, they vaguely formed a blurry figure, standing there desolately with its back to Xu Qing!
This figure was exactly the youth that Huang Yan had seen before!
Xu Qing saw it at this moment as well!
His spirit surged with waves; the radiance of his own Jin Wu and the partial inheritance of the Jin Wu seemed to create a mysterious resonance with this back view!
He felt loneliness, he felt sorrow, he felt longing!
This loneliness came from a long, long life!
This sorrow came from the decline of a race!
This longing came from the bond with Zhigeng!
Xu Qing's spirit, unknowingly, sank into it, until he faintly heard a soft sigh!
"Day Tour, patrol the realms!"
The next instant, the giant pulling the dragon chariot shuddered, and the light from the dragon chariot flowed in all directions, dyeing the chariot gold; like a war chariot, its momentum was monstrous!
It fell upon the giant, turning into golden armor, making the giant's aura full of holiness!
The giant raised its head, its lost eyes also gaining light, and a low roar that echoed in all directions came from its mouth; it took large strides, stepping across the firmament toward the Outer Seas!
Thus, in the eyes of all living beings, that extra sun changed its trajectory and whistled toward the Outer Seas!
As it approached, the pitch-black Outer Seas saw the blackness churning!
For the first time in tens of thousands of years, there was light here!
Falling upon the sea, whether it was refraction or its original color, the seawater actually revealed a hint of purple!
The Jin Wu soared through the air, illuminating everything in the sky of the Outer Seas, moving forward before the firmament!
Wherever it passed, it brought the daylight, dispelling the darkness and making the surface of the Outer Seas clearly visible!
The seawater of the Outer Seas was darker and more viscous than the inner sea, and its buoyancy was far greater!
Large waves rarely appeared here!
On the sea surface, one could see countless fragments of ancient ruins... there were giant rocks, giant corpses, and the broken walls of mysterious temples.
There were giant eyes floating like islands!
There was terrifying divine might spreading through the seawater!
There were unknown existences as vast as a continent standing up from the sea, coldly gazing at the firmament!
Gazing at that former Day Tour patrolling the realms!
Until time passed!
The giant pulled the dragon chariot, galloping across the firmament of the Outer Seas, and stopped at the moment of noon when the sunlight was most intense, hanging motionless in the air!
Countless obscure gazes and divine senses emanated from the Outer Seas, gathering here as if to bear witness!
After a long while, the figure standing in the dragon chariot, standing before Xu Qing and gazing into the distance, slowly turned around!
Gazing at Xu Qing!
The moment his gaze met Xu Qing's, Xu Qing's mind began to roar!
Countless pieces of information instantly surged into his spirit like angry waves!
This was the inheritance.
The true inheritance from the Jin Wu.
All of Xu Qing's Jin Wu immediately shone!
The next instant, the youth's figure closed its eyes!
The giant outside the dragon chariot let out a low roar filled with sorrow and began its return journey!
Gradually, the blackness that had been temporarily driven away greedily spread as the dragon chariot moved away, filling the void left by the chariot's return!
Finally... at dusk, the dragon chariot left!
The Outer Seas!
The Outer Seas were pitch-black once again!
The golden armor on the giant's body slowly faded, returning to its rotting flesh!
And the light of the dragon chariot itself dimmed again, revealing its dilapidated state once more!
Dusk faded away!
In the eyes of Erniu and Huang Yan, the giant came from the sky, step by step, and amidst the pervasive deathly aura, submerged into the inner sea!
Submerging with it was the bronze dragon chariot!
The moment it sank into the sea surface, a gentle force emanated from the dragon chariot, sending out Xu Qing, who was immersed in the inheritance!
Afterward, the dragon chariot sank completely beneath the sea!
As the giant pulled, down there on the seabed, there seemed to appear
an illusory palace from within time!
Outside the palace, the giant stopped, knelt there, and remained motionless!
From the bronze dragon chariot, the blurred figure of a youth stepped down, walking into the palace step by step; his pace was very slow, and every step exuded desolation!
Until he walked to the very top of the palace and sat silently upon the sole seat!
Ripples of time appeared all around, and musicians emerged!
Heavenly music greeted the moon, rising faintly!
Amidst this beautiful melody, the youth lowered his head, listening in solitude!
Yet, no matter how this music drifted, upon the Forbidden Sea, there was no longer a moon named Robin!
Thus, loneliness became eternal, drowning out the music, drowning out time, and causing this palace to return to its true appearance!
A ruin of broken walls and shattered stones!
Like a tomb!
Outside the tomb, the giant kneeling there wept in sorrow!
On the sea surface, inside the magic ship of the Little Mute, Xu Qing sat cross-legged!
The Little Mute guarded his side silently, feeling extremely wary; at this moment, the Little Mute held endless vigilance toward everyone here!
In the distance, those two Deputy Chiefs of the Seventh Peak's Criminal Investigation Department still wore expressions of shock, their gazes toward Xu Qing like those looking at a god; truly, everything today had exceeded their cognition and their imagination!
They had heard the legends of the dragon chariot, but they never imagined that someone could actually sit inside it, appearing to transform into the sun and experiencing the sunrise and sunset!
So, at this moment, their minds were in violent turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time!
As for Erniu and Huang Yan, they were staring unblinkingly!
Especially Erniu; Xu Qing's deeds today had shaken him immensely, so he was extremely curious about Xu Qing's gains!
As for Huang Yan, he was not curious about Xu Qing's gains; he had some questions about the Golden Crow Prince he wanted to ask Xu Qing, but just as he stared for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly looked up toward the horizon!
In the dark firmament, a red light appeared!
This light spread, invading the night sky, causing the entire canopy of heaven to turn crimson at this moment, and even the sea became the same, as if it had turned into a sea of blood!
This infinite red gathered together to form a god!
This god walked from the sky, arriving on the magic ship in one step; the moment he landed, the Little Mute and the other two instantly fell unconscious!
A bloody wind blew, fluttering the god's crimson robes and lifting his hair, revealing a bewitchingly handsome face to the eyes of Huang Yan and Erniu!
Erniu's eyes narrowed, then he put on a look of pleasant surprise, stood up, and seemingly unintentionally blocked the path in front of Xu Qing, bowing to the newcomer!
"Senior, it is actually you who has come; no wonder this junior felt the heavens and earth lose their luster just now—it turns out it was your esteemed arrival!"
Huang Yan said nothing, his entire body emitting a terrifying fluctuation, his expression grave!
"Do not be nervous!"
"I have come here to find this Xu Qing and have him repay a favor!"
Yu Liuchen chuckled, sat down cross-legged, and with a wave of his hand, a bamboo table appeared beside him, set with four teacups!
After pouring the tea himself, he picked one up, took a sip, and looked at Erniu and Huang Yan!
"Drink tea!"
