Yun Feng was silent for a moment and then said, “Senior… Why do you take such care of me? Senior… We’ve never met before, have we?”
The person in front of her chuckled again. “You don’t have to know this. I have conditions for helping you.”
Yun Feng bowed. “Senior, please tell me. I’ll definitely do what I can.”
Stonemother’s face darkened slightly and she said in a low voice, “Have you read the book I gave you?”
Yun Feng straightened her body and looked straight at the person with her black eyes. “Yes.”
“Don’t you have any doubts about the content?”
Yun Feng frowned slightly. “I indeed have doubts in my mind. Senior, are you willing to answer my questions?”
Stonemother raised her brows slightly. “That depends on what question you’re asking. Tell me your doubts first. It’s my business whether I answer or not.”
Yun Feng frowned. Since Stonemother said so, she certainly couldn’t hold back. After reading that book, the doubts in Yun Feng’s mind had been there. Even though she didn’t know if Stonemother would answer, she would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t ask.
“The original appearance of the map of elements was recorded in that book. To be honest, I collected these map fragments and pieced them together to make the map that’s exactly the same as the one you have. It can be seen that the map in Senior’s hand is the original, and what I collected… should be a copy.”
Stonemother didn’t say anything and listened quietly. Yun Feng took a deep breath and said again, “Although I’ve come into contact with the power of the Element Seed before, I’ve never really understood it. After reaching the G.o.d Venerable Level, I finally understood how powerful the power of the elements was and also understood what kind of consequences it would cause if someone with evil intentions got the power of the Element Seeds. That book records the source and original form of the seven Element Seeds.”
Yun Feng’s black eyes glittered. “The seven-element Fantastical Beasts… are actually the companion beasts of the seven Element Seeds. Their duty is to protect the Element Seeds from birth to death. The Element Seed gives the Fantastical Beast power, and the Fantastical Beast uses this power to protect it. And Na Xie…” Yun Feng held her breath and her pupils shrank slightly. “It’s the key to balance everything.”
Yun Feng raised her black eyes and whispered slowly, “Senior, who is the
Sage?”
Stonemother’s pupils shrank fiercely and the corners of her mouth curled up. “That’s your only question?”
Yun Feng was silent. She still had a lot of questions, but this was the one that had been bothering her in her mind. Sage… The only t.i.tle that appeared in that tattered book that looked like a human being. There was another ident.i.ty behind it, which was Na Xie’s master!
Na Xie’s remaining memories were right. He was indeed someone’s follower. This person was the so-called Sage!
Seeing Yun Feng’s gaze, Stonemother said in a low voice, “The so-called Sage is the person in charge of balancing everything and controlling everything in this world.”
Yun Feng was surprised. “Controlling everything? The so-called… Creator?”
Stonemother shook her head. “He’s not the Creator. Everything in this world is born from nature. Even the so-called Sage was born from the power of elements. He only has responsibilities on his shoulders. Even I am the same. The power of elements nurtured me and I return this power to this world.”
“Now… Does the Sage still exist?”
Stonemother was startled. Then, she whispered, “The Sage already disappeared from this world a long time ago. Na Xie also disappeared with the Sage. To be exact… it was sealed by the Sage.”
“He sealed it with his own hands! Why? Isn’t Na Xie his follower?”
“Without the Sage, Na Xie will get rid of the restraints sooner or later and cause trouble in the world.”
“How can that be?” Yun Feng shook her head. How would Na Xie’s personality cause trouble in the world? It wouldn’t do that at all!
“Yun Feng, do you know what Na Xie is?” Stonemother looked at Yun Feng. “Na Xie was created by the Sage. It gathered the power of seven elements with the power of the Sage himself. At the same time, it was also infused with the decisiveness of the Sage. Otherwise, how would it become the key to balancing everything? Just like the moon, there’s certainly a dark side when there’s light.”
Yun Feng was stunned! Na Xie had the ability to kill cruelly. Two sides… Na Xie had two opposite sides to begin with!
One was cruel and the other was gentle!
“As time pa.s.ses, in the process of maintaining the balance of this world, the Sage discovered Na Xie’s two sides. Another soul was born in its body, a soul that only knows how to kill cruelly.”
Yun Feng’s breath tightened! A thought gradually formed in her mind!
“The two souls couldn’t coexist in the same body at all, so the Sage separated them. The moment they were about to be separated successfully, the power of elements rioted. The Sage sorted out everything and was exhausted. The soul that was about to be cut apart wanted to escape. The Sage used his last strength to seal it and die at the same time.”
“Where was the soul sealed?” asked Yun Feng. Stonemother frowned. ‘Why? Are you going to investigate? If you accidentally undo the seal, you’ll probably be unable to escape.”
Yun Feng’s face darkened. “No, I think the seal has already been removed!”
“That’s impossible!” Stonemother denied firmly. “The Sage sealed it with his own power. How can it escape so easily?”
“Don’t underestimate the power of time. It can change a lot of things drastically. Even if it’s the power of the Sage, so what? As time pa.s.ses, it’ll slowly weaken. It’s already been so long. No matter how powerful it is, there will be a moment when it declines!”
“Yun Feng, you don’t know how powerful the Sage was at all!”
Yun Feng’s black eyes were burning. “Senior, if you keep staying in the world of the past, how can you see the current world clearly? Senior, if you’re here, can
you understand what the current world is like?”
Stonemother was stunned. Yun Feng said, “The Blood Souls is an organization that does strange and cruel things. They collect human souls and Beast Souls, search for all kinds of special bloodlines, and have Fantastical Beasts and darkness Element Seed. Killing and bloodshed are their specialty.. Even though we don’t know their purpose, the war has already begun!”
