Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1500: 1504: Black Sundial

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1504: Black Sundial

And Zhu Xuehen herself showed a look of horror on her face. She used her hand to touch her own body, only to find she couldn’t perceive herself!

The sunlight scattered on these Peach Blossom Traces had somehow turned into a jet-black hue, bizarrely stripping away all surrounding colors.

A beam of icy light fell like a dark silk veil on Zhu Xuehen, making her seem completely out of place in this world.

The wind could still lift the strands of hair on her cheeks, and peach blossom petals clung to her plain clothes, but when Zhu Minglang went forward once more to try touching her, her figure disappeared again like the moon in a well or flowers in the water.

Zhu Xuehen briefly showed a hint of panic on her face, but then she laughed coldly.

“Aunt Xuehen, what is this, what is happening, tell me quickly!!” Zhu Minglang asked urgently.

Zhu Xuehen didn’t answer, not because she was deliberately hiding anything meaningful at that moment, but because some words might reveal the will of the heavens. She was no longer the only Cang God, and speaking it out would mean true obliteration.

She merely gazed at Zhu Minglang with her cold eyes, saying nothing more, only maintaining her usual expression of disappointment!

“You can’t escape this choice.”

“Zhu Minglang, you will end up like me!”

Zhu Xuehen laughed, and her smile contained a poignant sadness.

As she spoke these words, a gust of wind brought countless peach blossom petals, which surged toward her like a rolling wave.

Zhu Xuehen stood motionless as countless petals outlined her silhouette, gradually submerging her tall and slender figure…

Suddenly, the petals met no resistance and passed through her body.

And the peach blossom-covered silhouette dissipated, petals flying away!

When all the petals scattered in the courtyard, there was nothing left in view.

Zhu Minglang stared blankly ahead, not knowing what had happened.

It was evident that Zhu Xuehen did not intentionally “disappear from the world.” What power forced her to vanish from this world, turning her into nothing!

Is she dead??

Was it that power she feared that took her away?

Was she dragged to another place??

Why was there no spatial tunnel in sight, as if it were a bizarre dream, impossible to understand!

What on earth happened!

Utterly puzzled, Zhu Minglang stepped forward and found that the dark light had vanished, and the place where Zhu Xuehen stood had turned into a blackness.

It was the eerie atmosphere brought by the Black God’s Trace, where everything lost its color.

This loss of color was definitely not some object being mysteriously painted black; it was as if the world he was in was a painting with an uncolored section outlined merely in sketches and shadows.

One must admit that Zhu Minglang also felt a fear of this power!

…

Zhu Minglang walked towards Little White.

Little White remained in a posture of deep sleep, and Zhu Minglang tried to wake it, but it showed no reaction.

Its body was warm, with its belly and little chest rising and falling rhythmically, occasionally pursing its lips, as if something happy was happening in its dream.

“Little White.”

Zhu Minglang called for a long time, yet Bai Qi remained asleep.

It was certain that it was indeed asleep; this was how Bai Qi normally looked while sleeping deeply.

But for some reason, it would not wake up.

This made Zhu Minglang even more perplexed.

If it weren’t for feeling Little White’s warmth and seeing its familiar posture, Zhu Minglang would even doubt whether the world he was in was real; too many things defied logic.

…

Zhu Minglang couldn’t find any clues.

He could only carry the sleeping Little White away.

Mr. Jinli floated in mid-air, dazed, probably in a roaming mode, so it was unlikely he could learn anything from him.

Zhu Minglang left the bizarre place.

And what had happened just now was like an exhausting afternoon dream.

When he emerged from the Peach Blossom Traces, the dream awakened, and looking back at many of the details, they still seemed absurd.

He thought the Peach Blossom Traces itself was an ethereal realm and that he had stumbled into an illusion, yet Little White slept soundly in his arms, Little Glow and Little Tease were at his side, and Mr. Jinli muttered there, rebooting his brain…

So everything that happened inside was always real.

Then how did Zhu Xuehen disappear.

Where was she taken?

Above Zhu Xuehen, the Dragon Gate Cang God, is there still some supreme being?

…

With these doubts, Zhu Minglang made his way to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, having some questions he wanted to ask Zhu Heavenly Officer.

Unfortunately, Zhu Heavenly Officer also didn’t know much about Zhu Xuehen’s matters.

However, they could confirm that at the time, the Empress was indeed Zhu Xuehen’s maid.

Emperor Zhao Yuan of the Supreme Court sought longevity, and he too was aware of the existence of divine beings. Empress Zhu, having poured too much emotion into the Emperor, ultimately told Zhao Yuan about the god within Zhu Gate due to her emotional struggle…

This deity was Zhu Xuehen.

Thus, Zhu Minglang witnessed the scene where Empress Zhu had her life seized by the curse of service.

“Everything must begin with the Dragon Gate; its existence indeed baffles us.” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.

“What do you think this Black God’s Trace is?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Zhu Heavenly Officer shook his head, indicating he wasn’t too sure either.

“For some things, you have to take it one step at a time. Our old saying goes, heaven has its plans, so don’t trouble yourself over it.” Zhu Heavenly Officer comforted Zhu Minglang.

“The fear is that this heaven might not exist, or perhaps a god must be selected to govern the heavens.” Zhu Minglang said.

Nine Dragon Gate Cang Gods, do they each represent the Nine Heavens?

Jun Tian, Azure God, Yantian, Zhu Tian, Hao Tian, Xuan Tian, You Tian, Yellow Sky, Changing Heaven…

Logically, the Nine Heavens Wilderness should correspond to each Dragon Gate, but from the current view, some Sky Fields have no Dragon Gate, while others have two.

Combining the fact that all Eighty-One Divine Lands of the Nine Heavens are in a state of division and reconstitution means the Nine Heavens themselves are unstable, and some Dragon Gates might also sink into silence and disappear in certain epochs!

Nine Cang Gods?

Is there anyone above the Nine Cang Gods, issuing inescapable decrees to all the divine beings?

“Is it possible…” Just then, Zhu Heavenly Officer seemed to be inspired, analyzing seriously, “In the last era of the Nine Heavens, the fall of Cang Gods led to the Nine Heavens’ collapse, which could explain why so many Star Continents are currently reuniting and rejoining. Each time a Dragon Gate is opened, every time a Cang God is determined, those ancient lands roaming the universe will draw closer and unite faster.”
