Chapter 460 Return to the Beginning
Chapter 460 Return to the Beginning
In the vast chaos, the Primordial Clan relied on a piece of floating earth.
Today, from the primordial mist, ancient and powerful warships sail forth, bearing the banners of the various primordial races—
From the first to the seventh original race, they all came.
They were all led by high-ranking figures such as clan leaders, supreme leaders, and heavenly demons, and brought with them the most powerful geniuses and elites of their clans to keep the appointment.
"It's wonderful that our First Clan can form a marriage alliance with the Chuyuan Clan!"
"From this day forward, my First Clan will enjoy eternal glory and stand forever!"
"Who in the world dares to challenge my race? They're courting death!"
Everyone spoke up, their faces filled with smug joy.
Even though the Chuyuan Clan reappeared several months ago and announced to the world that Chu Ruolin, the Holy Maiden of the Chuyuan Clan, was about to marry the First Clan's Young Master, the First God.
The wedding is today.
The news caused a sensation throughout the world, and all the major powers of the primordial era took notice.
Today, under the guidance of the Chuyuan Clan, all the other clans have arrived.
"Unexpectedly, Chu Ruolin won in the end..."
On the second clan's ship, the clan chief couldn't help but sigh, his face filled with melancholy.
"Miss Chu Ruoxi has lost. It seems that Li Lan is probably dead as well."
Someone nearby spoke up.
During the previous Dharma Proof Conference, Li Lan and Chu Ruoxi suddenly reappeared, overwhelming the First God and all the geniuses of the Primordial World, shaking the world.
Afterwards, Li Lan followed Chu Ruoxi into the ancestral mountain of the First Clan and never came out again.
The primordial world was always filled with unease.
After all, if Li Lan and Chu Ruoxi win, they will all be finished, which is not a good thing for any of the races.
Unexpectedly, after so much time has passed, Chu Ruolin is still the Holy Maiden, and she is even to marry the First God.
It is clear that Chu Ruoxi was outmaneuvered and lost in the power struggle within the Chu Yuan clan.
The warships slowly arrived and landed on the ancestral land of the Primordial Clan. The various primordial clans were all deeply shocked by the astonishing aura emanating from this land.
"Is this the foundation of the races from the other side? It's astonishing that primordial matter is everywhere."
“In a place like this, even those with low aptitude might have a chance to achieve immortality. No wonder, no wonder the Other Shore is hailed as the land of eternity!”
"As long as we follow the Primordial Clan, we will also have the opportunity to enter the Other Shore!"
All ethnic groups were extremely excited.
Now, they know the true identity of the Primordial Clan—the Eternal True Clan who fell from the Other Shore.
The seven primordial races, if they help the Primordial Race cultivate the Great Dao of Ancestral God, will have the opportunity to return to the Other Shore. At that time, they will also have the merit of following the dragon, and naturally they will also have the hope of entering.
Guided by the Primordial Clan, all the original races arrived one after another.
The important territory of the Chuyuan clan was already decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, filled with joy and peace.
"The groom has arrived first, and from this day forward, he shall be married into the Chu Yuan clan!"
A loud shout rang out, and the First God, dressed in a wedding robe, stepped out of the carriage.
Although he was the groom, he was undergoing a "marriage" ceremony, following the traditional practice of marrying into the bride's family.
Behind him stood a group of geniuses from the primordial world.
Shi Shengsheng from the second clan, Xing Wanli from the third clan, Jiuyin Xuannv from the fourth clan, Houtu Tongshou from the sixth clan, Ren Qinglan from the seventh clan, and others were all present.
They had all made a great oath with the First God, so naturally they would also be included as "dowry" and would enter the Primordial Clan together from now on.
The First Gods were radiant and full of vigor, but they all had a sense of dejection. As the top geniuses in the primordial world, they all had their own pride, but now...
They were transformed into maids or servants, accompanying the "Miss" as her first dowry maid.
But what could they do if they didn't want to? In front of the Chuyuan Clan, the seven major clans had no right to speak. In fact, their own clans thought it was a great thing that the other clans were allowed to accompany them as part of the dowry.
As everyone entered the venue, Chu Ruolin, dressed in her wedding gown, also came out.
Every stitch on her body was woven with the true essence of the Great Dao, making her look like a fairy from heaven, incomparably beautiful and dazzling. Her face was filled with a proud smile!
"I bow to the divine intervention!"
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth a second time!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
As the elder presiding over the ceremony spoke, Chu Ruolin and the First God immediately completed the ceremony and officially became husband and wife.
"The ceremony is complete!"
The old man spoke loudly.
"Wait a minute,"
But at this moment, Chu Ruolin suddenly spoke up, looking at Chu Hao, the patriarch of the Chu Yuan clan, and said, "Patriarch, today is a day of great joy for our clan. Ruolin believes that since we are embarking on a new path, we should sever ties with the past and announce it to the world!"
"For her own selfish reasons, Chu Ruoxi has nearly ruined the future of our Chu Yuan clan. She should be executed. I propose that she be torn to pieces to show the world!"
She spoke in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but shudder.
"Chu Ruolin... actually wants to tear Chu Ruoxi to pieces? This is her own sister..."
"So what if she's my own sister? The two of them almost broke each other's heads in the struggle for the Holy Maiden title. In the face of absolute interests, what is family affection? It's worthless!"
“Indeed, the hatred for power runs deep in her bones… However, on this day of her great joy, to carry out such a bloody act is a bit too much.”
Many people couldn't help but speak in hushed tones.
"Ruolin, today is a joyous occasion, it is not a day for anyone to die."
Even the newly appointed elder, Chu He, couldn't help but frown and speak up, offering a reminder.
"It is precisely on this joyous day that we should do this, clan leader, what do you think?"
Chu Ruolin remained calm and continued to look at the clan elder, Chu Hao.
Chu Hao remained expressionless, waved his hand casually, and said, "In that case, bring Chu Ruoxi up."
He agreed!
-- His elder brother, Chu Dao, had already transformed into a strange being and had been hiding in the back mountains. However, in order to maintain his remaining consciousness, he needed to constantly devour the flesh and blood of his own kind.
This is similar to how the Eternal King Dongya devoured his own kind.
It just so happens that Chu Ruoxi was once a saintess, and her strong bloodline perfectly meets his elder brother's needs. However, if he were to actively kill the deposed saintess, it would make him seem narrow-minded. Since Chu Ruolin has brought it up now, it couldn't be more appropriate.
Chu Ruolin bore the brunt of all the bad reputation.
Before long, Chu Ruoxi was brought up.
Months have passed, and her face has become extremely pale and she looks rather thin. The once radiant and peerless Holy Maiden of the Chuyuan Clan now appears weak and frail.
In fact, she had been under house arrest for some time, and her cultivation had been completely sealed.
"Chu Ruoxi, do you know you were wrong?"
Upon seeing her arrival, Chu Ruolin spoke arrogantly and coldly, her eyes filled with smugness and mockery.
So what if Chu Ruoxi is stronger than her? So what if Chu Ruoxi was once a Daoist partner with a Daoist who had broken through the Dao?
Now, Chu Ruoxi is a prisoner, and that Dao Breaker has been sent to the other shore, where he has probably already been destroyed by the beings there.
She is the ultimate winner!
Therefore, she wanted to savor the fruits of her victory slowly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruoxi gave a bitter smile, and her gaze toward Chu Ruolin carried a hint of pity.
"Little sister, you're so pitiful."
"You've spent your whole life chasing fame and fortune, always wanting to stand out from the crowd, but do you know that it's all just a mirage..."
"Li Lan, our only savior, is gone. One day, when the strange phenomena from the other side descend, and you awaken from your dream, aren't you afraid you'll regret it?"
Chu Ruolin's face immediately darkened, and she said, "How dare you!"
"You think you're qualified to teach me how to do things? You really think you're my older sister?"
"Guards, tear Chu Ruoxi to pieces as a warning to others!"
She gave the order directly.
Immediately, two executioners stepped forward and tied Chu Ruoxi to a huge bronze pillar. They had already taken out extremely sharp boning knives.
"Chu Hao, you know that Chu Dao has gone astray and turned into a monster, yet you still help him do evil? Chu Ruoxi's death is not a pity, but how can the future of the Chu Yuan clan be destroyed like this?!"
Chu Ruoxi used all her strength, her voice trembling, and said, "Chu Hao is going to take a strange path. The other shore is no longer a holy land, but a demon's cave and a purgatory. Do you really want to enter it?"
She spoke, scanning the entire room, but her people remained silent; the seven primordial clans remained silent.
She suddenly felt utterly hopeless; she realized that her people were beyond saving.
The fate of all living beings in this chaotic and turbid world has already been sealed.
So she said nothing more, and simply closed her eyes peacefully.
A tear slid down her face; it was the last tear she shed for Chu Yuan.
The executioner's blade was about to cut into her snow-white skin.
But, at this very moment—
Boom!
Suddenly, golden light descended from the chaotic heavens, as if another world was about to appear!
"Is that... the Gate to the Other Shore?"
"The light from the other shore?!"
"what happened?"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The people of the seven original tribes were extremely excited, as this was the first time they had ever witnessed any activity on the other side.
Even the members of the Chuyuan Clan couldn't help but look solemn.
Elder Chu Hao immediately stood up, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "Chu Hao of the Chu Yuan Clan welcomes Fellow Daoist from the Other Shore!"
--This scene had already occurred once before, when the "Dark River" came to guide Li Lan.
Therefore, they could guess that this must also be an envoy from the Dark River.
It just so happens that the Holy Maiden of the Primordial Clan has now married the chosen First God of the Ancestral God Seed. The forces in the Other Shore will surely be delighted to see this!
"Welcome, special envoy from the other shore!"
Chuhe and the others, on the other hand, all performed a grand ceremony.
The patriarchs and elders of the seven major clans followed suit without hesitation, kneeling down in a very solemn manner!
Everyone is respectfully awaiting the arrival of the being from the other side.
At this moment, the two executioners had stopped and knelt on the ground, but Chu Ruoxi, who was tied to the bronze pillar, seemed to sense something. She suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky. A look of confusion and doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes for a moment...
Under everyone's watchful eyes, golden light slowly descended, and a figure emerged from it.
"It's been a few days, Clan Chief Chu Hao, why are you giving me such a grand gesture?"
A clear, calm voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Chu Hao, who was bowing in greeting, was instantly startled. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked up at the sky in disbelief. There stood a familiar figure calmly!
That person... was none other than Li Lan!
"what?!"
Upon seeing him, Chu Hao was immediately taken aback and took a few steps back in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
