The edge of the gap between the Bitter Region and the Heavenly Domain, the Corner of Earth.
“That’s right, the Corner of Earth, is Grandpa really here?”
Lin Ruomei landed at the Corner of Earth, looking around. It was a vast expanse of emptiness, as if nothing existed.
“Grandpa, it’s Ruomei, it’s Ruomei! Grandpa, where are you?”
Lin Ruomei could only shout. She had only met him a few times, and she wasn’t even sure if he’d recognize her.
“Ruomei?”
A strange voice echoed from within the Corner of Earth, filled with confusion and disbelief.
“The peacock comes from the Sea Village, its tail adorned with gleaming gold script. It’s well-known that the solemn phoenix and luan are mates, not a low and noisy flock of chickens and ducks. Though Yuan Pu and Chi Xiao have ambitions, they still require you, the Green Phoenix and Jade Bamboo. Carrying you across ten thousand miles to return to Wu Yue, I longingly gaze at the deep clouds of the sea and mountains.”
A black peacock flew in from the distance, circling Lin Ruomei before transforming into an elderly man, landing in front of her.
“You’re really Ruomei, Lin Ruomei?”
“Yes, you’re my Grandpa, White-Headed Immortal?”
White-Headed Immortal exclaimed excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes, I knew it! You really are Ruomei, it’s wonderful.”
Seeing her relative again filled Lin Ruomei with joy. She instinctively threw herself into his arms.
“Grandpa.”
This long-suppressed longing, this unbreakable bond of family, felt even more precious now.
“Good, good, good granddaughter.”
White-Headed Immortal was truly happy. After all these years, he finally saw his relative again.
“By the way, how did you know I was here?”
Lin Ruomei whispered, “It was my father who sent a message. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known.”
“Your father…”
At this, White-Headed Immortal couldn’t help but feel awkward. It was all his fault, and it was his fault that it had come to this, leaving him feeling deeply guilty.
Lin Ruomei shook her head. “Grandpa, I came for my father too. There was nothing else I could do.”
White-Headed Immortal finally understood. “Right, how is your father, the Shepherd God? I haven’t been back to the Heavenly Domain since I left.”
Lin Ruomei told him everything about the Heavenly Domain, withholding nothing.
“What?”
White-Headed Immortal’s face turned pale. He never imagined things would turn out like this. He truly couldn’t believe it.
“How is the Shepherd God now?”
“Grandpa, my father is alright. He’s never sent any messages before. This time, he suddenly sent one, or else I wouldn’t have known you were here.”
White-Headed Immortal understood. The Shepherd God must have known, but he hadn’t involved him. It was simply a matter of inner turmoil.
“Regardless, since it’s the Shepherd God’s order, I, White-Headed Immortal, will never stand idly by. Why did you come here this time?”
“Father hopes to obtain the Origin Creation Orb.”
Lin Ruomei looked completely lost. She didn’t even know what that was. Did her grandpa know?
“The Origin Creation Orb, you say?”
White-Headed Immortal nodded, then said, “Alright, I understand. Go back first. Your father can’t be left alone. Since you’ve waited this long, wait a little longer, alright?”
Lin Ruomei nodded. “Yes, Grandpa, I understand.”
After discussing, Lin Ruomei left the address of the Blue Mountain Coffin Shop and departed.
White-Headed Immortal naturally fell into contemplation. He knew what he needed to do.
There was just the right person he could use. With this thought, the person arrived.
“The light before our eyes, about to fade. The holy light in despair, about to descend. God has mercy, God is immortal.”
Bian Xi Jun arrived with a serious demeanor. This was naturally due to the matter of Reverse Sea Mighty Sail and Du Wu Yu, which was quite troubling.
“Immortal Elder, why have you come out?”
White-Headed Immortal waved his hand. “Don’t worry about that. Bian Xi Jun, if I remember correctly, you have news of the Origin Creation Orb?”
Bian Xi Jun was taken aback, but he nodded. “Yes, Immortal Elder. I wonder what this has to do with you?”
His words held a hint of tension, clearly not a casual response. There must be a hidden purpose.
White-Headed Immortal looked straight at Bian Xi Jun. “This old man wishes to reclaim the Origin Creation Orb.”
Bian Xi Jun was stunned, confused. “Immortal Elder, does this thing have anything to do with you?”
White-Headed Immortal nodded directly. “It does, indeed. It is actually an object from the Heavenly Domain, the Dragon Pearl of the Heavenly Domain’s strange dragon, Left Dragon Deficiency. You should understand what this old man means.”
Bian Xi Jun was truly surprised. He never expected the Origin Creation Orb to be the Dragon Pearl of the Heavenly Domain’s strange dragon, Left Dragon Deficiency. If it were true, he would naturally understand the reason behind it.
“Immortal Elder, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but it’s a bit sudden. This matter…”
White-Headed Immortal understood his nervousness. “This object can only be used by the Heavenly Domain’s Master. Others cannot use it. Its core still belongs to the Heavenly Domain. If one forcibly uses it, it may just be a waste of effort.”
This wasn’t without reason. The Heavenly Domain’s strange dragon naturally submitted to the Heavenly Domain’s Master, the Shepherd God. The Shepherd God had the authority to use it, there was no doubt about it.
Bian Xi Jun finally understood. Outsiders couldn’t use this thing. Even if the Grand Master Gu Ling Shi Yan spoke beautifully, he was likely deceiving him, because he couldn’t possibly use it.
His purpose would naturally not be achieved.
“He actually tricked me.”
The murderous intent in his eyes filled him with rage. He couldn’t believe that Gu Ling Shi Yan had deceived him.
White-Headed Immortal asked, “You know where the Origin Creation Orb is?”
Bian Xi Jun nodded readily. “Yes, I know, but I hope that I can use it to revive someone.”
White-Headed Immortal was immediately taken aback. “Revive someone? Is it someone already dead? How is that possible?”
Bian Xi Jun said gravely, “Immortal Elder, he is truly dead, but Gu Ling Shi Yan said that the Origin Creation Orb can revive him. Isn’t that right?”
White-Headed Immortal directly shattered his fantasy. “Impossible. The Origin Creation Orb does not have such an effect. At least, as far as this old man knows. Though, speaking of which, only the Heavenly Domain’s Master, the Shepherd God, knows its true effects. So, this old man can’t confirm it absolutely.”
After hearing this, Bian Xi Jun understood his meaning. It was so. Otherwise, it would be quite confusing.
But from this, it could be seen that Gu Ling Shi Yan didn’t know about this, naturally wouldn’t understand the truth. Only the Heavenly Domain’s Master knew. He was simply trying to fool him with this thing.
Thinking of this, Bian Xi Jun was filled with anger, burning with rage. He was actually deceived to this extent. This was something he couldn’t bear to see.
“Immortal Elder, the Heavenly Domain’s Master?”
White-Headed Immortal waved his hand. “This old man can’t guarantee anything now, but as soon as the Shepherd God wakes up, there will be news. Now, we need the Origin Creation Orb. It might be able to make the Shepherd God wake up early.”
