"What Pollen Path? This was clearly a bone ash path!"
Lin Xian drew a deep breath, his expression grave. He had discovered a simple truth and a terrifying fact. He seemed to understand why, of all the Dao Sacrificers, only the Pollen Empress had met her end on the Plateau.
The Desolate Heaven Emperor and the Plateau were merely enemies. Enemies could wage war, negotiate peace, even compromise or call a truce.
The Pollen Empress was different. If the pollen particles she breathed were truly the Coffin Master's bone ash, then the Pollen Emperor and the Plateau were more than enemies. Theirs was a struggle over the Great Dao!
People were born between heaven and earth. After death, they were buried in the earth, becoming fertile soil that nourished fragrant flowers.
This seemingly simplest of principles contained the greatest cycle of reincarnation between heaven and earth.
When mortals became soil, the grass on their graves grew no more than three feet high. When Immortal Kings were buried, they could become stalks of immortal medicine.
The quality of the soil determined the quality of the flowers it nurtured. This was an eternally unchanging law.
What soil could compare with the Eerie Plateau, strewn with the Coffin Master's bone ash, which could resurrect people and bring about reincarnation?
Over the ages, the Coffin Master's bone ash could transform into dark blood and give rise to Ancestors. It could likewise lie buried for billions of years, becoming divine soil that nurtured immortal flowers and allowed a Pollen Empress to advance.
She had not been trying to destroy the Plateau or kill the Ancestors. She had been aiming to attain the Dao and transcend!
Such tremendous courage, perseverance, and wisdom! Her heroic spirit shook heaven and earth, in no way inferior to the Azure
