Chapter 543 Prologue to the Sakura Chapter
In a majestic white wooden attic, there is a quaint library filled with wooden shelves and books.
The light element butterfly, which emits yellow light all over, has its wings folded inside the glass lamp on the brown and black wooden table.
The warm light it emits shines through the glass, filling the airtight library, and also shining on the faces of an old man and a young man kneeling in front of the desk.
The old man was wearing a white floor-length robe, his eyes were extremely cloudy, and the knives of time had carved stripes on his face.
In front of his desk, there was a thick ancient book unfolded. He flipped through the yellowed pages with great care, as if he was looking for something.
Sitting upright and kneeling across the table from the old man was a slim girl with long black hair.
The girl was wearing a white and red miko uniform made of silk, with a serious expression on her childish face.
But when the girl looked at the light element butterfly playing with its tentacles in the lamp, the curious look in her eyes betrayed that she was not as honest and upright as she seemed.
"Child, do you know that a long, long time ago, before heaven and earth were separated from each other, four supreme goddesses were born in the ancient chaos."
Finally, the old man seemed to have found the story he wanted to find. He stopped flipping through the pages and spoke slowly to the girl in an old voice:
"Together, they opened up this world, created the sky and the earth, created the oceans and forests, glaciers and deserts, and created everything in the world."
"Later, they created a sacred land for themselves that was independent of the world. They used a higher perspective to protect all the living beings they created and gave their favorite people blessings from the gods."
When the girl heard what the old man said, she couldn't help but yawn, as if she had heard this story countless times.
The old man in white robe didn't seem to notice that the girl in front of him was distracted. Instead, he took a deep breath and tapped his fingers on the wooden table.
The transparent glass on the lamp disappeared silently under the old man's knock, and the light element butterfly also flapped its wings and flew up from the lamp holder to the beam.
As this magical "lamp" changed its position, the girl frowned helplessly, but she also knew that the old man had noticed her distraction and calmed down slightly.
Then, the old man’s vicissitudes of voice sounded again:
"But, over the long years, the operation of this world has gradually escaped the control of the goddesses, and they have also ushered in their own turning points of fate."
"A goddess was killed by the people she created, but she had no regrets."
"A goddess was corrupted by evil spirits from outside the world. In order to prevent the destruction of the world on the verge of going crazy, she sealed herself on the throne of God forever."
"A goddess distributed her power to all living creatures on ten large islands in order to seal the contaminated sacred soil of her companions for her."
"But she has long since returned to dust, and dust to dust."
The old man slowly focused his turbid eyes on the girl in front of him. After a long sigh, he said slowly:
"Child, after hearing this, you must already know that our Shidao clan has obtained the power shared by this goddess. As...
"Old island owner, don't worry, I have heard my father nag me about these things ten thousand times."
The old man in white robe was interrupted mid-sentence by the girl in front of him.
The girl showed a bright smile to the old man and said slowly and confidently:
"As the strongest genius girl in the entire Liaozhou, I will shoulder the responsibility I have carried since ancient times, serve as the co-leader of the ten islands, and guard the abyss cave."
The old man's turbid eyes slowly moved from the ancient book to the girl's face.
Although the girl spoke so complacently, she was not wrong.
His granddaughter is the most talented genius among the generations of the Shenlian clan.
With a variety of extremely powerful talents and skills, a perfect physique that is compatible with various elements, a girl who defeated other heirs of the island owners to win the festival at the Ten Island Grand Festival, and mastered a variety of barrier techniques at such a young age, she has indeed become Liao. The successor to the co-owner recognized by most people in the ten prefectures and islands.
But there was deep reluctance in the old man's eyes.
"Sakura, since your father has told you all this, you must also know the meaning behind this responsibility."
"Oh, don't you mean that you have to stay on Shenyou Island for the rest of your life and never travel to other islands? You have to put on a serious face at all times, and you have to approve a lot of messages sent from other island owners every day..."
Seeing that she finally no longer had to listen to those boring stories, the girl known as Sakura started talking in a good mood and started talking like a treasure trove.
But the old man in white robe sighed and interrupted the girl's deliberate change of topic:
"That's not what I'm referring to..."
"Sakura, as the co-owner of the ten islands in Liaozhou, from the moment you succeed to the throne, you must be prepared to use your own life to protect the people of all races in Liaozhou."
"This is not only a lofty honor, but also represents a shackles that bind you."
"When the seal of the abyss is loosened, you will be Liaozhou's first barrier to prevent evil spirits from contaminating it."
The white-robed old man's serious words made the black-haired girl spread her hands disapprovingly, as if she thought what the old man said was a bit exaggerated.
Over the years, the seal has never been loosened by the successive co-lords of the Ten Islands who have strengthened it year after year.
So many people have long thought that the evil spirits in the mythical stories have been completely wiped out over time.
But the old man just looked at the girl with a complicated expression. The old man and the young man looked at each other like this, as if time was set for eternity at this moment.
…
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
At this time, the entire library suddenly heard the dull sound of knocking on the glass, and at the same time, a vigorous girl's voice suddenly sounded from all directions:
"Hey, LD-01, wake up, wake up, it's time to take the hormones, don't sleep!"
Recalling that the world in her dream suddenly shattered, the white-haired girl who was soaked in a glass nutrition cabin and had black armor covering most of her body slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were black and red like a demon, and there were terrifying white bone wings on her back.
There are black scales in many places on her tall, fair body, which actually creates a coquettish and sexy look.
Outside the glass cabin filled with light blue nutrient solution, there are a large number of metal pipelines connected.
As for the hall where the girl's glass nutrition cabin is located, the surrounding walls are made of thick black metal, and seven or eight electronic screens are constantly beating with various character codes.
A short girl with short white hair, wearing a black jacket and short shorts, with gray skin, was standing on the ground in front of her, knocking on the glass, staring at her curiously with sea-blue eyes.
Seeing this visitor, the girl's heart surged with unquenchable murderous intent and desire for destruction.
Her body was uncontrollably trying to destroy everything she saw, and the reason she had just risen began to collapse rapidly.
But as a thin needle probed from the top of the glass nutrition cabin and pierced her arm, these desires to kill and destroy were gradually calmed down, and her originally fierce eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"Sorry...did I just..."
She looked down at the appearance of her body and was about to speak bitterly.
But the short girl with a pair of sharp black horns on her head who was separated by the glass had a hearty smile without any intention on her face. She sat cross-legged on the ground and said to her:
"It seems that this time a purifier helped improve the inhibitory factor, and the effect is indeed more than a little better."
"Now, now that I can finally communicate with you again, please continue telling me about those evil spirits and the story of when you were the Demon King."
