Chapter 268 The World's Waters Separate (Part 3) - The Lamentations of Living Beings
"Who goes there?" Upon seeing the white-clad figure who had never shown his face, Shui Qingli sensed an unprecedented threat and summoned the Water Shadow Sword without hesitation.
The man in white didn't speak, but simply waved his sleeve, and a long spear, entirely white and seemingly formed from celestial power, swiftly attacked Shui Qingli.
Shui Qingli didn't expect the man in white to attack without saying a word. She had no time to dodge and could only try her best to defend herself with the Water Shadow Sword.
However, Shui Qingli also did not expect that this seemingly unassuming man in white would be so powerful, and was directly repelled by the illusory spear.
The white spear split into six white rays in the air, flashing away in an instant. It not only severed the island beside Shui Qingli, but also left several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest.
Shui Qingli fell awkwardly onto a fairly large rock in the sea, his gruesome wound oozing bright blood, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
"As expected, I still can't use too much power. Has it already been detected?" The man in white muttered to himself, but then landed on the reef where Shui Qingli was.
"..." Shui Qingli, now injured, looked at the man in white with even greater vigilance.
"Well, it's a pity that such a civilization was destroyed, but it wasn't entirely useless." The man in white, whose clothes were only slightly dirty, approached the heavily injured Shui Qingli step by step with a condescending attitude: "As for you, you shall bear the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Shui Qingli keenly sensed that the man in white seemed to be up to something. He weighed his own injuries and thought that perhaps if he fought hard, he might still have a chance to escape.
However, he overlooked one fact—since the man in white dared to try to kill him so recklessly and his strength was unfathomable, how could he possibly give him a chance to escape?
Just as Shui Qingli was about to move, she found herself surrounded by a layer of white light, completely unable to move.
"Don't you understand yet? This is a trap tailor-made for you." The man in white said contemptuously, then he summoned a pure white staff and pointed it directly at Shui Qingli: "In the name of the human gods, I command all the human souls you have destroyed to curse your primordial spirit to never find peace."
As the white-robed man finished casting his spell, Shui Qingli's eyes, which were as blue as the ocean, suddenly became dull. At that moment, the world he could see was no longer a blue sea and sky, but a scene resembling purgatory.
Countless human phantoms, which should have been invisible, gathered around him, their mournful voices telling of their resentment and curses, incessantly haunting Shui Qingli's primordial spirit, bringing him to the brink of collapse!
Water is the source of life. Many years ago, after the creation rain that made the clear waters sleep for hundreds of years, countless lives were born in this world.
But as countless lives were swallowed by the water, what returned to the clear water was also countless wails, lamentations, and curses from living beings...
What the man in white did was merely amplify the resentment of those who perished in the water, thus relentlessly haunting the culprit who destroyed Atlantis, ensuring he would never find peace.
What he wanted was to turn Shui Qingli into a pawn he desired, so that he could advance his plan.
As for the ultimate goal, it is obviously obvious.
However, just then, still gloating over the success of his plan, he looked at Shui Qingli with a smug expression. The man in white seemed to have noticed something and said with a slight smile, "You've arrived so quickly. It seems you are really important to him. But that suits me just the way I am."
With a flick of his sleeve, his figure vanished into thin air as if he had never been there.
But before he left, his voice echoed in my mind like a ghost, as if I could never shake it off: "I believe we'll meet again soon, and I look forward to seeing how you do..."
……
When Yue Yuanming realized something was wrong and rushed to Shui Qingli's side, he saw Shui Qingli leaning against the rocks in the sea in a disheveled state. In the distance was a damaged island, and broken stones and bloodstains were scattered all around, making it look like a battle had just taken place.
"Qingli, are you alright?" Yue Yuanming landed directly in front of Shui Qingli, gently shaking his shoulder, anxiously checking on Shui Qingli's condition.
Fortunately, her injuries were not serious, and with a fairy's body, she could recover after a period of rest.
But just as Yue Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief, he met Shui Qingli's eyes—he realized that she had not fallen into a deep sleep as expected, but there was no longer any light in her eyes.
"...Yuanming..." It seemed that the only fairy she could rely on was right beside her. Shui Qingli weakly called his name, and then lost consciousness...
