Chapter 565: Time to Return to the Upper Realm
This military song, also created by Yue Fuguang, was flying in the air. Its sound shook the nine heavens, and its power split the vault of heaven. It was like ten thousand horses galloping on the raging waves, and like the clash of gold and spears in the raging fire. Wherever the song spread, its intention was for the mountains and rivers to remain safe.
Outside the altar, the common people were no longer kneeling on the ground. There seemed to be an invisible pressure on them. This pressure was not sharp; instead, it carried a kind of compassionate gentleness. However, it made people feel an impulse to prostrate and worship from the depths of their souls. But they couldn't kneel down and could only stand with their heads held high.
This pressure came from the slowly awakening Heavenly Dao consciousness in this world, and Yue Fuguang had straightened their backs before she left.
Yue Fuguang's figure had risen to a height of one hundred meters.
Her face became clear and bright in the light. It was no longer the face that an ordinary mortal woman could have, but the compassionate face of a deity that made people dare not look directly at it.
The lotus mark between her eyebrows was lit up, fully showing her divinity. She lowered her eyes and looked down, just like the eternal galaxy overlooking the ever - changing mortal world.
A voice suddenly echoed in the air, "Master, it's time to return to the Upper Realm!"
As the voice fell, a seven - colored pearl suddenly appeared above Yue Fuguang's head. There seemed to be patterned immortal beasts on the pearl, making it hard to see clearly.
"System, you're adding extra drama to yourself again."
[Host, I'm the Boundary - Breaking Pearl. It's very reasonable for me to break through the void and take you back, isn't it?] Its part was an essential link.
Yue Fuguang didn't argue with it and continued the act following its script, "Yes, it's time to return to the Upper Realm!"
Her voice was not loud; in fact, it was gentle, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone within a hundred - li radius, regardless of the distance.
That voice was like the morning bell and evening drum, like the mountain stream in the deep forest, and like a kind of echo only existing in dreams.
"Little Zhu, the matters here are settled. It's time to return today."
The moment the word "return" fell, the "Boundary - Breaking Pearl" shone brightly. Then, it seemed as if someone had forcefully torn a crack in the sky.
The blue sky really cracked open, like a huge silk ribbon being torn from the middle. What shone through the crack was neither starlight nor clouds, but a kind of light that mortal eyes had never seen before. The color of this light exceeded the color spectrum of the Three Realms. It was so brilliant that it didn't seem real, but it was more real than any real thing.
Facing this scene, the people on the ground were so shocked that they all fell backward. Someone exclaimed, "The sky, the sky has cracked!"
"The Divine Maiden has made the sky crack!"
A long step made of light hung down from the crack, step by step, extending to Yue Fuguang's feet. Each step was semi - transparent, with a miniature of the galaxy flowing inside. Every step on it was like stepping on and shattering a piece of the sky.
At this moment, Yue Fuguang's mortal body began to melt like snow, wither like a flower, and twinkle like a star with little stardust.
"The Divine Maiden... has disintegrated her body through self - sacrifice!" The young scholar who liked to read picture books knew very well what this scene represented.
The Divine Maiden's mortal body was the Yu family's Seventh Young Lady. Naturally, she wouldn't take her mortal body with her when she returned to the Upper Realm.
The disintegration of her body through self - sacrifice was both expected and unexpected by everyone.
The Yu family members were looking tearfully at Yue Fuguang, who was gradually turning into floating light from her feet. The elderly Yu lady couldn't hold back anymore. She raised her hand and cried out sadly, "Fuguang, my Fuguang!"
Her voice was choked and hoarse. "Look at your grandmother. Look back at your grandmother again!"
Woohoo! Woohoo! The Yu family women hugged each other and cried. Even Yu Chongshan and other Yu family men were as pale as death and were in floods of tears, unable to speak.
Yue Fuguang seemed to hear them. She turned around, lowered her head, and smiled with her eyebrows. "Grandmother, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself!"
After thinking for a while, she added, "If you miss your granddaughter, go to the Divine Maiden Hall and have a look."
Her voice was still echoing in the air, but her figure was gone. The broken light transformed from Yue Fuguang did not dissipate. Instead, it fell from the high sky like the water of the Milky Way. Everyone watched helplessly as the stream of light fell into a certain place on Lotus Mountain.
"Is this... the location of the Divine Maiden Hall?" Someone ventured to guess.
Someone echoed, "The Divine Maiden disintegrated her body through self - sacrifice. Naturally, she should fall into her dojo."
"Didn't you hear? The Divine Maiden told the elderly Yu lady who missed her to go to the Divine Maiden Hall to see her. There must be a reason for it!"
Everyone was guessing while crying. However, their guess was confirmed later.
The floating light after the Divine Maiden's self - sacrifice did fall into the Divine Maiden's dojo, precisely on the jade statue of the Divine Maiden. The statue, which was originally just made of high - quality jade, then seemed to be wearing a celestial dress with the light of the moon and stars.
It was resplendent and full of divinity. Even the statue had a kind of indescribable charm. From then on, for thousands of years, few of the sentient beings who came to worship the statue of the Divine Maiden dared to look directly into the eyes of the Divine Maiden.
The Divine Maiden Hall and the statue of the Divine Maiden stood majestically. They were not only built of bricks and wood but also the carriers of her legendary stories and profound thoughts.
And the legend and immortal thoughts she left in the mortal world built a spiritual monument that transcended time and space.
