Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 828 - 415: The Falling Starfire of the Old Days in Chang State (Part 3)

In the blink of an eye, those tiny frogs vanished without a trace, rotting into mud, returning to the earth and sky.

"Your methods are still so disgusting," Old Sect Leader Li said disdainfully.

"Everything has a spirit; even the life of filthy bacteria is life. Survival of the fittest, what does it have to do with me?"

Casually responding, Qin Lang also found a part of the Mother Tree on the ground. He didn't enter but instead reached out at the entrance and gently caressed it, observing the Earth Sea method taught by Tang with his eyes closed, sensing it.

Moments later, he suddenly opened his eyes and took a step back, "As expected."

Old Sect Leader Li asked, "As expected, what?"

Qin Lang replied, "See for yourself."

Old Sect Leader Li, confused, stepped forward into the Merging Spirit state, pointing with his hand, operating the Sea Observing method, and closed his eyes.

Due to the use of the Spirit Fusion Technique, after slightly immersing into the Earth Sea, he saw more things.

In an instant, he seemed to become a part of this Chang State, with his Divine Sense extending through the roots of the Mother Tree that spread across Chang State.

He saw another side of Chang State.

In the Earth Sea, there was also a Chang State.

But this Chang State was of a different appearance.

The blood moon hung high, turning the earth into scorched ground. Fleets of flying ships, crafted from some unknown alloy and battered beyond repair, plummeted towards the ground like meteoric fire.

Old Sect Leader Li had heard Zhang Ze mention that those things seemed to be called starships.

Falling, exploding, the ground being torn apart, the starships shattered into fragments, and the faceless, shapeless passengers were also engulfed by flames, turning to ash.

But in the Sumeru Space, everything returned to normal, silver-white cities rose from the ground, and the melodic passageways crisscrossed the entire Chang State.

Pristine, brand new starships stood upon the land, gazing towards the sky.

As the whole city lit up, the starships took off... then crashed again.

The blood moon reappeared, the cycle repeating endlessly.

"This..." Old Sect Leader Li exited the Merging Spirit state in shock, withdrawing himself from the shallow layer of the Earth Sea.

"Perhaps it is the dream of Chang State," Qin Lang said with hands in his pockets.

Qin Lang continued, "As Xiaoxue said, after you returned from White Emperor City, it was speculated that during the Primordial times, all the Ten Thousand Races came from outer space, descending upon the Four Continents aboard those things called starships, and even we, the Human Race, might be the same.

"If this is true, then perhaps not everyone succeeded, like here."

Qin Lang looked down at the ground beneath his feet, "Maybe there was a fluctuation in the Earth Sea at the time, maybe some phenomenon was caused by that impact, or maybe the race that perished due to failed arrival was discontent.

"The phenomenon of continuous disappearance and resurrection was permanently preserved by the Earth Sea, causing a transformation in this land of Chang State."

Qin Lang waved his hand in front of him, and a map of the entire Chang State appeared.

Over the years, Qin Lang and Master Monkey Bai Shou traveled all over Chang State, knowing it like the back of their hands, remembering every Floating Mountain, every location of the Mother Tree's roots.

Those Floating Mountains corresponded with the starships that fell in the phenomena.

And the Mother Tree corresponded with those extensive silver pathways.

The Firefly Spirits were remnants of the civilization left in the world.

The civilization's dying dreams gave birth to the wonders of Chang State.

The facts of destruction and the desire for rebirth continually manifested differently on this land.

Old Sect Leader Li asked, "Is this true?"

"I don't know, I'm guessing. If you have different thoughts, I'll listen to you," Qin Lang replied with a shrug, sounding candid.

Old Sect Leader Li, "..."

Suppressing Old Sect Leader Li's raised fist, Qin Lang said, "If there are no accidents, Chang State will continue this cycle, until eventually, the phenomena within the Earth Sea dissipates.

"But sadly, there seems to be an accident.

"The balance has been broken," Qin Lang stated.

During the recent observation, the duration of the resurrection phenomenon was longer and continued to gradually increase with each recurrence.

Once the balance is broken, no one knows what will happen.

"Black stones?" Old Sect Leader Li asked; if there were an inducing factor, it would likely be related to those black stones that appeared suddenly.

Qin Lang, "Perhaps, let's go to Luoyu Mountain first."

...

Luoyu Mountain.

The head of the large Da Tou Cai, caught by Li, opened its eyes.

It was utterly bewildered to find itself neither in Chang State nor in the silver-white city.

As far as the eye could see now, there was a swath of gold.

Golden mountains, golden sea, golden sky.

And it was tied up.

Zhang Ze sat opposite it, holding a small stool.

"As the saying goes, we have a saying in the East Continent, 'One who understands the times is a wise man.' Who exactly are you? What do you plan to do?

"I advise you to confess honestly, or else..."

Li and Brother Monkey, dressed like astronauts, jumped out from behind the left and right earth mounds.

Brother Monkey pointed his worn staff at Da Tou Cai.

"Or else you'll get what's coming to you!"

Li held a small knife, licking the blade like a maniacal person.

"This knife is coated with paraquat. You better confess honestly, or I'll stab you to death."
