Ahead lay the ruins, where deathly aura prowled, as though they had stepped into ultimate darkness.
Where was there even a trace of light?
Clearly, they had failed.
"The artifact refiners of Green Mountain Realm... can be considered finished." Just then, a female voice sounded beside Shen Lingxuan.
It was an insect, the size of a moth and similar to a butterfly.
This creature was a spirit of heaven and earth, said to have existed since the world first opened.
Shen Lingxuan had encountered it after entering the ruins.
"Those who came here to temper fragments of the Light Wonder Treasure were all true genius artifact refiners. Now that they are gone... the path of artifacts in Green Mountain Realm will stagnate for centuries." The Insect Woman, Cai Die, spoke, her voice carrying an indescribable quality.
In Cai Die's eyes, the artifact refiners who came to this forbidden place had all been unearthed as geniuses of every kind.
Had they followed their normal paths of growth, these people would have had bright futures and wealth almost within reach.
Cai Die looked at Shen Lingxuan. "Ling Xuan, you bear Heaven's Mandate and possess a special fate. You may forgo the other things within this forbidden place, but you must obtain the Source of Forbidden Weirdness.
"Only Heaven's Mandate can suppress the Malevolent Source and prevent it from growing strong. Moreover... only by refining the Malevolent Source can you gain all sorts of special abilities and hide within Green Mountain Realm without being... discovered by outsiders."
Cai Die's expression was grave as she said this.
"Otherwise, once you achieve unity of heaven and man, you will absolutely draw outsiders' attention. You will die as you did in your previous life."
An icy chill radiated from Shen Lingxuan.
Memories of her previous life
