Chapter 633: Chapter 73 Divine Communication Battles the Creation Realm (Part 1)_2
Gongsun Ce faced the blood sea without fear, confidence brimming as he said, “Don’t be afraid, trust me!”
Is there still any hope for everyone?
Gongsun Ce was utterly convinced there was. His confidence originated from a voice. A voice that was barely audible, disjointed, and only reached him under near-miraculous circumstances.
Where did that voice come from?
The swallowed people couldn’t answer that question, already sunk into dreams, having lost all consciousness. If they still had their sight, they would have seen a sight they’d never forget.
It was a wicked paradise made of blood and flesh.
A blood river hung from an infinite height, flowing atop a silently writhing ground like living tissue. White skeletal remains piled into mountains, on which lakes made of poison and magma were formed, for monsters and Evil Dragons to revel in. Occasionally, on the red land, one could see the ruins of cities or factories—the spoils of war taken from around the world by the Red Mage, already eroded by the power of Fallen Heaven. The red inhabitants moved aimlessly within their once cities, turning their emotions into fodder for demons.
Above this endless hell of flesh, thick and sticky red clouds floated. Excessive gems and stones piled upon the red clouds to form luxurious palaces, with smooth drapes hanging between corridors; humans transformed into lifelike statues filled with sorrow or ecstasy within these palaces, filthy meat and blood shaped into delicacies and wines, laid on tables for the master to indulge.
Not long before, deep within the palaces where red clouds churned, two new humans entered from the outside world. They were carelessly placed on the ground, left to the master’s whims.
This rough act caused a small change: as Shiyu Lianyi fell to the ground, a small item rolled out of his pocket. A disc-shaped CD rolled across the palace floor, touching another’s fingertips—touching another who had also been swallowed by Fallen Heaven.
This was a marvelous phenomenon that even the creator of the disc could not have anticipated.
As it came into contact with the unintentionally emitted signal of an Information Life Form, faint music played throughout the palace. This sound carried the Impermanence Skill deliberately embedded by the creator, and the Superpower inadvertently embedded… causing a “reversal” in the state of the person receiving these sound waves, leading the disc itself to become concealed.
Thus, color drained from her fingertips, bringing her consciousness back from chaos.
Qiluo rose from her confusion, instinctively grabbing the CD that had awakened her. She trembled in fear while gazing bewilderedly around her.
“Monsters, monsters!”
Qiluo’s memory was stuck in the moment before the attack. She only remembered Ayane transforming into a terrible monster that devoured her and did not understand what happened afterward. Overwhelmed by panic, the poor girl wanted nothing more than to sob.
But before she could completely lose her mind, Qiluo saw her surroundings. She saw her schoolmates from normal days, the residents from next door, and witnessed Shiyu Lianyi and Kardesia, both being eroded by the red force, their energy growing weaker.
This tragic situation pulled Qiluo back from the brink of collapse. Qiluo understood that now was not the time to succumb to grief. She, still rational, knew that even if it was a dying struggle, she had to do something!
Qiluo pressed the CD against Shiyu Lianyi’s face, speaking almost like a prayer, “Please… I’m begging you… wake up Shiyu Lianyi!”
Lin Wu’s CD emitted its last bit of strength, briefly reversing Shiyu Lianyi’s condition, giving him a moment of lucidity from his fall. Struggling, Shiyu Lianyi opened his eyes and said in an extremely feeble voice, “Go… I’ll connect… go…!”
“Yes! Hang in there!”
Qiluo grabbed her friends’ arms, using her power to hide the trio’s presence, and ran towards the palace exit. Shiyu Lianyi moved in a daze, his vision flickering between a blissful Illusion Realm and a cruel reality. He bit his tongue to maintain lucidity through the pain.
Telepathy… too distant, can’t make contact… try again, try one more time… can’t do it, about to pass out… bargain…
“I bargain… Kardesia, fight…”
(The price is, falling unconscious for thirty minutes… the return is, establishing a 3-second connection with Gongsun Ce…)
This was the last thing he could do before his will faded. With the strength for only one sentence, he had to pass on some information to Gongsun… something that could affect the battle… Think, consider, Fallen Heaven, devouring… without a body… Void Sun Red Magic…
An idea flashed in Shiyu Lianyi’s mind, and he sent his final inspiration to his friend.
Gongsun Ce fashioned a long arrow out of white matter and tossed it to the girl beside him.
“Remember our fight with Qin Ming?”
Qin Qianbai tossed her long hair back, standing resolutely at his side.
“I remember well. Are you ready?”
Gongsun Ce clapped his hands together, and gray Nirvana Flame instantly formed a path through hell. At the gray path’s end was the Red Mage, grinning, with six mismatched red Dragon Heads encircling it, a deep red sun hanging behind its head, casting sinister light in hell.
“Touching, confidence, hope, love! How fascinating, all these beautiful emotions are welling up inside you…” the red fiend raised its right palm, creating a blood-colored whirlwind within it, “Then let me savor them to my heart’s content! Your emotions, your power!”
