Revival
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yun Xi asked, puzzled.
The proprietress glanced around and then sat down opposite Yun Xi, whispering to her, "Haven't you heard? The one suppressed beneath the Freedom Divine Realm has been making frequent unusual movements lately, and there are many rumors that he is about to be resurrected."
"Him? Who is that?"
Upon hearing Yun Xi's question, the proprietress looked at her in surprise, "You must be very young, little one. Didn't your mother tell you? It seems that beneath our Freedom Divine Realm, there is a Freedom God King from ten thousand years ago sealed away."
The proprietress pursed her lips slightly, her eyes filled with mystery and awe, and continued, "This God-King is a legendary being. It is said that he once possessed heaven-reaching and earth-shattering supernatural powers, protecting the peace of our Freedom Divine Realm."
"But no one expected that one day before the ten thousandth anniversary, he suddenly chose to seal himself away, burying himself deep underground in this divine realm."
She paused, then lowered her voice and said, "There are many theories about why he sealed himself away. Some say he had an accident while cultivating, others say his lifespan is coming to an end, but the most common guess is that he is about to degenerate into a monster."
"After all, the consequences of such an evil being as the Weird being falling into corruption are unimaginable. Perhaps the God-King sealed himself away in such a resolute way to protect our Freedom Divine Realm."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
She suddenly remembered the story about the three Light God Kings that Fan Xiu had told her when they were at the Temple of Light.
When these god-kings are nearing the end of their lives, they seal themselves away to reduce the passage of their lifespan, waiting for the opportunity to achieve eternity before awakening to self-realization.
In the Freedom Divine Realm, it's not surprising to find such a Freedom God King, except that the Freedom God King the landlady was referring to had his original essence sealed away...
The information provided by the proprietress was full of speculation and uncertainty, seemingly carrying the mysterious air of folk legend.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi glanced at the proprietress across the street and couldn't help but sigh softly. She knew that as an ordinary resident of the Freedom Divine Realm, the proprietress probably couldn't know much more.
Yun Xi turned her gaze away from the proprietress and simply sent a message to Bai Luan, asking him if he knew anything about the Freedom God King.
If the Freedom God King is truly about to awaken... then no matter what his reason for sealing himself away, Yun Xi can no longer continue to leisurely wander outside.
The thought of the various unforeseen events that this might trigger filled Yun Xi with a sense of urgency.
While waiting for Bai Luan's reply, Yun Xi simply said goodbye to the landlady and then used the Freedom Divine Technique to arrive outside the world-class city where the Freedom Temple headquarters was located.
Yun Xi's figure vanished instantly in the divine light, and the next moment, she appeared in front of the magnificent city.
Looking up, the towering city walls of the city stood majestically, seemingly reaching to the horizon. Mysterious runes shimmered on the walls, exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.
It wasn't that she didn't want to land directly in the Freedom Temple, but since she hadn't officially joined the Freedom Temple yet, it would be better for Bai Luan to personally guide her in to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
At the same time, Bai Luan replied to her message.
A system notification sounded, Yun Xi opened the interface. Bai Luan's message appeared before her eyes: [Your Highness, I only learned about what you mentioned after I returned. There is indeed a Freedom God King sealed within the Freedom Divine Realm, but the reason this Freedom God King sealed himself is rather special... Where are you now? Perhaps I should come and pick you up first.]
Upon seeing this message, Yun Xi felt somewhat relieved and quickly replied: [I am outside the world-class main city where the headquarters of the Freedom Temple is located.]
Based on the coordinates sent by Yun Xi, Bai Luan quickly appeared in front of her.
As soon as Bai Luan appeared, Yun Xi noticed that his expression was somewhat solemn.
Bai Luan's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes revealing deep worry. Her originally delicate face seemed shrouded in a gloom.
Yun Xi couldn't help but ask, "Bai Luan, is the situation more serious than we imagined?"
Bai Luan sighed softly and nodded slightly, saying, "Your Highness, the situation is probably not optimistic. The matter concerning the Freedom God King is far more complicated and troublesome than we previously knew."
Just as Bai Luan was about to tell Yun Xi everything, a sudden change occurred in the entire Freedom Divine Realm—
The earth trembled violently, emitting a deep and terrifying roar. Mountains collapsed, boulders tumbled down, and clouds of dust billowed, obscuring the sun. Rivers roared and surged, breaching their banks and sweeping everything into the distance in a devastating rampage.
The city's buildings swayed violently, walls cracked, and tiles flew everywhere. Ordinary people screamed in terror and ran in all directions; the sounds of panicked footsteps and shouts mingled together, filling every corner.
Yun Xi and Bai Luan were also startled by this sudden change and lost their balance. They struggled to regain their footing, feeling both shocked and confused.
Bai Luan frowned, her eyes filled with vigilance and worry. "It's probably related to the Freedom God King who is about to awaken!"
This extraordinary phenomenon only lasted for a moment.
But that brief moment felt like an eternity of torment. When everything finally calmed down, people remained shaken, standing there in disbelief at what had just happened.
You have to understand, this is the Freedom Divine Realm! Almost all the major cities are shrouded in various formations, how could it possibly be affected by an earthquake? But the fact is, it really happened.
That breathtaking moment, though brief, felt like the prelude to some terrible omen.
A tense atmosphere filled the air, dust slowly settled, and the world seemed to have been paused for a moment—
A beam of light shot into the sky from afar.
The pillar of light, like a pillar supporting the sky, radiated a dazzling brilliance, piercing the clouds. Its light was so intense that it instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness, as if illuminating the entire heavens.
The pillar of light contained a mysterious and powerful force, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort. As the light flickered, countless mysterious runes seemed to flow within it, captivating and mesmerizing all who beheld it.
Then, an indescribable power emanated from the pillar of light and spread outwards.
This force, like a surging wave, swept in with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, ripples spread through the space, as if unable to withstand this powerful impact.
However, the moment Yun Xi was enveloped by this power, she felt an indescribable sense of freedom and ease.
