Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 37
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
When the sun rose, the warm golden light instantly covered the ground, bringing joy and vitality to the capital city in early winter. However, in the air above the Royal College gate, a black light column suddenly appeared, which seemed to be an inaccessible domain, and devoured all the light roughly.
In the center of the light column, Gian lowered his head, his limbs hanging in the air like a puppet holding a string. His clothes churned with the surging of waves of divine energy, but it was strangely silent. Just now, he was trapped in the water ball and couldn’t breathe. He struggled hard to break the thick water around him, but no matter how hard he waved his hand and how he swayed his body, the thick water film always stuck to his mouth and nose. Gradually, he fainted because of the lack of oxygen.
At this critical moment, the strange book in his hand suddenly flashed with a golden light. It quickly flew over his head and opened, emitting an almost inaudible buzzing sound. It immediately closed, turning into a ray of light and shrinking into his body. It was as if they were attracted by this book. Specks of black threads floated out from every part of Gian, converged into threads, woven into a large black net, spun and piled up, and finally condensed into this striking pillar of light.
The process was complicated, but it ended in the blink of an eye. When the light column appeared, the several policemen beside the school gate, along with Lord Yu Ming and his black-coated guards, felt that they were frozen in place by a mass of pressure, followed by black ripples sweeping across. The impact of the chaotic madness knocked them out, and they all fell to the ground.
With the waves’ vibration, the light column also changed from light to dark, and the rhythm was like breathing. The College’s surrounding residents were attracted by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, and they gathered around the road. They didn’t dare to approach but could only look at the occasionally exposed figures in the black light from afar. Soon, the road at the gate was blocked.
The people of the Jing had seen too many people with the power of the holy pagoda, so they were not used to such kind of reaction, so there was nothing to be shocked. Some self-righteous men immediately pointed at and talked with each other, some echoed, some sneered disdainfully, and some saw the figure lying on the ground by the door and wanted to report to the police as soon as possible. The crowd was getting noisier and noisier.
When the situation was in chaos, a huge green flower vine suddenly shot from the sky and plunged into the bricks and stones in the school’s front square. It shook a few times and pulled into a tight line. A figure stepped on the wooden block and descended rapidly along the huge vine. Before he was about to land, countless white tentacles popped out from the vine and stuck to his body, slowing down his speed. At last, he slowly stopped in front of the door. The man was wearing a mossy green cloak, and his face was hidden in his pocket. He only saw the white beard on his long waist. He was Elder Mu Yun, the creator of the flower vine stage.
“Holy… Mysterious… “The old man stood still in front of the door, staring at the young man floating in the black light. He said two words very slowly as if he had spent all his strength. He pursed his lips and gently waved his hand. The green light instantly flew away, and all kinds of trees around the school gate seemed to have gone crazy. They trembled their branches and connected left and right, finally turning into a huge towering tree wall, surrounding Gian in the middle and blocking the onlookers’ sight.
Several figures flashed on the green vine one after another, and several golden or white-robed warriors followed closely. They stood beside the old man and looked at the light column. Their expressions were different, but they were all silent. They had been cultivating with the Elder for many years. They had obviously been accustomed to this silent but tacit atmosphere. Seeing this, they used their own magic to throw out the whip wood claws, pulling over all the unconscious people on the ground.
After besieging the tree wall, Elder Mu Yun waved his hands again. Several white-robed Sorcerers turned around and opened the passage to evacuate the crowd who watched outside the wall. The rest stood outside the blacklight range with their teachers, waiting for the end of the fight. Suddenly, Elder Mu Yun seemed to have sensed something. He turned to look at the sky in the distance, and lightning flashed from the sky. Prince Yu, dressed in a purple robe and gold belt, was wrapped in dazzling lightning. With a majestic momentum, he flew over the tree wall and stood in front of him.
The lightning beam disappeared in an instant. His highness seemed to be in a bad mood when he saw the black light column, and his face was as stiff as iron. He glanced sideways at the blurry figure in the light column and turned his head to find Lord Yu Ming lying on the vine net. His face immediately turned pale with fright.
“Ming!” He raised his eyebrows, rushed forward, and pushed the several warriors away. Half kneeling, he picked up Yu Ming and carefully leaned him against his knees to check his injuries. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes. He quickly swept through the young man’s whole body, took his pulse, listened to his breath, and then checked his pupils. He was relieved when he was sure that his baby son was only in a coma.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
“What do you mean! I’d like to ask for an explanation! “Prince Yu rushed back and pointed at the vines on the ground. His tiger eyes widened as he shouted at elder Zelda. He didn’t even hurt his son, but now he was knocked out. How could Prince Yu not be angry?
Elder Mu Yun waved his hand at him unhurriedly. A priest in a golden robe walked up to him, bowed slightly, and explained in a gentle tone, “Your Highness, calm down, please. Before we arrived here, Lord Yu Ming had fainted. Maybe he was also affected by the Holy-Mysterious power…”He pointed at the light column with a little melancholy on his face, as if he was worried about it.
ThePrince Yu squinted at the Priest coldly and suddenly shook his hand back. The large ball of lightning exploded and shot towards the light column. In a hurry, the Elder had only summoned a few vines to block the way. The lightning was slightly delayed, and after breaking the barrier, it was still moving fast. It was about to hit the light column. Countless slender iron swords suddenly fell from the air and formed a metal net around the black column. The ball of lightning was shining on the iron net for a moment and finally disappeared helplessly.
Then, a low voice came from above his head, “A Prince is going to fight with a child. You are really going to die.” In the capital city, the only person who dared to speak to Prince Yu like this was the Emperor.
The Prince’s face darkened when he heard the voice. Everyone looked up and saw a long and thin iron arch bridge coming over. On the bridge stood a thin man in black with black hair. His sleeves were fluttering, and half of his face was covered by the iron mask. Only his pointed chin and slightly upward corners of his mouth could be seen. Behind him stood colonel Ye Chi, who always wore a military uniform. He held the black machete around her waist, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
“Of course you said so. Your son was not hurt.”At the sight of the Emperor, Prince Yu was very angry and didn’t want to talk more to him.
The Emperor could do nothing to this unruly and irritable brother. He quickly got off the iron bridge, waved his hand to disperse the summoned divine power, stood beside the Elder, and saluted him in exchange for a slight nod from the other side.
Seeing the Emperor coming, the several Sorcerers all bowed to him. The Emperor waved his hand casually and looked at the flickering figure in the light column. He seemed to feel a little familiar. He pointed at him and asked Ye Chi, “is it Shane’s friend?” Before the two of them became friends, the Emperor had ordered someone to investigate Gian and had some impression of him. However, the figure was blurred at this moment, and the Emperor’s eyesight was not good, so it was difficult to tell for a moment.
Ye Chi didn’t answer. He stared at Gian for a moment and strode to the edge of the light pillar. He stretched out his right hand upward and exerted great force. The black light dodged to both sides as if it had met a nemesis, revealing the young man’s pale face.
“Yes.”He had seen Gian many times before. As soon as she confirmed it, she withdrew her hand. The light column instantly closed again, the same as just now.
“I didn’t expect…He is actually a Chosen… “The Emperor sighed with his hands clasped behind his back. The boy from the South Island had been so lucky since he arrived at the capital city. Not only could he be favored by his son, but he had also unexpectedly awakened his power. However, it was not easy to control the black divine power called “Holy-Mysterious.” There had been many people who had received this gift since ancient times, but only the founding Emperor could successfully complete his cultivation. The rest of them were either dead or injured, and it was difficult to end up peacefully. From this point of view, no one knew whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
The Emperor was still lost in thought. Ye Chi strode into the crowd, holding the handle of the knife. He glanced at the people on the ground, half squatted, and stretched out her hands to cover them. He tried one by one with his magic power, but there was no movement. “No residue.” He clapped his hands and made a conclusion in a low voice. Without looking at them any more, he returned to his original position with a long face.
It seemed that their power resonance was quite stable. Otherwise, this sudden vibration of divine power would at least leave some remnant fragments in their bodies…The Emperor nodded and turned to the Elder, “Elder, in your opinion…What should we do? “
Elder Mu Yun remained silent, or perhaps he didn’t hear the question. The Emperor continued to stare at the blacklight and began to calculate. This power had something to do with the royal family. It could even be said that the people of Wong worshiped black because of this. But after all, Gian was from the South Island, so it was not appropriate for him to influence the relationship between the two countries too much. He had to find an excuse to stay and talk about it in detail…
Silence fell inside the tree wall. The two masters were immersed in their own thoughts, and the others had to accompany them in silence. Not long after, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the air, and a figure in a purple robe could be faintly seen. Then they all heard a clear voice, “I will deal with this matter. You can leave now.” As he spoke, the person turned over his hand and gently pressed it. A huge white halo melted the black pillar from top to bottom and finally wrapped around Gian. With that person, the black pillar instantly disappeared into the holy halo of light.
Before the Sorcerers could figure out what was going on, the Emperor laughed and said, “I almost forgot that the Lord has returned to the imperial city. It’s better to give it to him.” He sighed again with a relaxed look, bowed to the Elder, and left with the military officer.
“Lord? Could it be…The Priest s back? “A dull white-robed Sorcerer looked at his companion suspiciously but was immediately mocked.
“Idiot! Who else could it be except the Priest? “The man cast a sidelong glance at him and whispered in Elder Mu Yun’s ear, “Teacher? Teacher? “
After he shouted for a dozen times, the old man finally nodded slowly and said two words stiffly, “so…You… “
He was still stuck in the Emperor’s question, and the students were at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Every time the teacher thought about something, it would take her half a day. During this period, there was really no response from lightning. Helplessly, they could only briefly say that the Priest appeared to take away the young man.
The Elder stroked his long beard and said, “Okay.” Since this matter was settled, he turned around and left without hesitation. Everyone followed him step by step to step on the flower vine, summoning a row of wheels, and tied the unconscious people, returning to the Holy Tower.
After a short while, the huge fluorescent vine trembled again and shrank back like a spring, leaving a dazzling green light and disappearing in the sky. There was only a gap left on the stone bricks, and then there was no movement in the tree wall.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
