Chapter 1020 - 399: Divine Trace Lineage · Tai Eclipse Demon
"Crack! Crack!"
Mu Yi Hanba gently shook the ground, and the crystal pillars began to crack one after another.
With just a little more force, the young children tumbled out one by one.
They had slept for a very long time, their souls as if floating above the nine heavens and then suddenly plummeting back to reality, leaving them in a daze.
"Wah! Great-grandfather!!"
A little girl with a mole between her eyebrows rushed to the doorway, clinging to the burly man broken in two, with tears gushing forth like a spring.
She cried so bitterly, her eyes red as a rabbit’s and soon swollen like little steamed buns, looking pitiful from every angle.
"Don’t cry, you are the hope of those who have passed. Only by living on, and living well, can they be at peace."
GuaGua scurried onto the little girl’s shoulder and used his little hands to wipe her tears.
Seeing the cute little beast suddenly appear before her, the girl snuffled repeatedly, feeling lost and helpless, standing dazed, unsure of what to do.
"What exactly happened?"
"Why were you sealed inside the Divine Temple?"
Mu Yi Hanba released all the crystal pillars, and the older youths also opened their eyes.
There were also Holy Light Angels, a total of eight, five with the Sacred Voidal Conduit and three at Minor Saintly Perfection.
They stretched their wings in unison, the untainted elegance flowing around them, a purity and soft beauty that seemed to possess the power to calm one’s heart.
"Are you... a divine general of the Hanba Clan?"
The leading Holy Light Angel, with an expression of sorrow, said:
"The Broken Era Calamity was upon us, and my tribe, along with the Qian Family, had made ample preparations."
"We called back our scattered clansmen, initiated the vastly consuming Guardian Array, and patiently awaited the turn of the Cosmic Era."
"Little did we anticipate that the heavens would suddenly tear asunder and magma burst forth from deep underground, nearly drowning the land like a flood."
"At that moment, foreign currents fell from the sky, with ice blades raining down swiftly; the Guardian Array held for only two or three breaths before it tore apart like fragile paper..."
The second Holy Light Angel, recalling that moment, trembled as he said:
"The pillars of our clan shielded us with their flesh and blood, buying us a chance to escape."
"We, the relatively young angels, and these tender children, were hastily sealed inside the Sun Temple, until today, when we awoke once more..."
The third Holy Light Angel, slightly calmer, mustered the courage to inquire:
"May I ask the divine general of the Hanba Clan, what exactly happened?"
"Our lineage is but fifty thousand years old, and we have always been careful not to provoke disaster."
"Why is the power of the Calamity so intense, indiscriminately slaughtering the old and the young alike? How does this differ from extermination?"
"..."
Mu Yi Hanba remained silent, just quietly watching the children crying loudly and the young people who, with lips pressed tightly together, carried in their eyes a mix of tension and sorrow. Eventually, he let out a deep sigh:
"When I saw that ice blade earlier, I wondered if this might be the reason."
"I never thought that in the end, it would still be the Broken Era Calamity."
"In other parts of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there is no such bloody harvest linked to a single abyss, only the sun, only the sun..."
Mu Yi Hanba froze, standing among the corpses in the divine temple, murderous intent mixed with boundless confusion, causing his aura to suddenly become extremely unstable.
The wailing children were terrified, scrambling to hide behind the Holy Light Angel.
The young people also did everything in their power to activate their abilities.
Regardless of the disparity in their ranks, they dared to respond to the situation, a temperament that already surpassed most of their peers.
"What is your name?"
GuaGua patted the little girl on the head, eyes twinkling with stars.
"Qian, Qian Han."
The little girl answered in a tearful voice, fragile and tender.
"And them?"
GuaGua pointed to the other children beside her, not missing a single one.
"Qian Dao, Qian Zhou, Qian Xun, Qian Tan..."
Qian Han sniffled, her childish voice growing weaker.
"Okay, I’ve remembered them all!"
GuaGua laughed with a hee-hee, suddenly transformed into Qian Han’s likeness, took her hand, and ran towards the door:
"We’re not bad people, there’s no need to be scared."
"Come and see the blazing golden sun of the Newborn Epoch, it’s been a little over 110,000 years, the environment of the Solar Abyss has changed quite a bit since then..."
The innocent GuaGua blended in well with the children.
It couldn’t make them forget the fear they once had, nor could it bring the dead back to life.
But as long as it started to speak, all the children’s attention was on it.
Compared to the frightening Mu Yi Hanba and the unfathomable Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying, GuaGua was obviously more endearing.
"What? It’s been 110,000 years?!"
The three strongest Holy Light Angels were called "Guang Xin," "Guang Shi," and "Guang Ning."
At that moment, they all opened their mouths wide, as if their jaws were about to drop in shock.
"Yes."
Ye Hanjun responded to their amazement, calmly saying:
"You have been sealed for an entire Cosmic Era."
"Now, in the Second Epoch of the New Era, the Solar Abyss is no longer the leader of the Seven Abysses."
"The pain you experienced, the beings that resided here during the same period, almost none were spared."
"Do you remember anything else?"
Ye Liuying asked carefully:
"Aside from the currents, ice blades, is there no other vivid image lingering in your minds, impossible to dispel?"
Guang Xin, Guang Shi, Guang Ning, and the other five Holy Light Angels looked at each other and shook their heads:
"It all happened so abruptly, perhaps our Angel King who sheltered us, along with the Qian Family’s Clan Leader, have more clues."
