All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 283: Awakening (2)

“Is this really necessary?” Yunyao inwardly complained, but she was also very curious about what kind of experience Zhanyue would have next.

“That’s right. Awakening is a process that all Fairy Spirit Clan members need to go through. Only after experiencing awakening can the guardian power within the body be revealed. The Fairy Spirit Clan is a race favored by the heavens. All Fairy Spirit Clan members will give birth to guardian spirits within their bodies. Guardian spirits exist in various forms, and the most common are animal-type guardian spirits,” the Prophet continued to explain.

Zhanyue had naturally seen it before. When those few little Fairy Spirit Clan members were guarding against him, they had released their guardian spirits. The technique of condensing spiritual energy into form made him feel immense pressure. The Fairy Spirit Clan was a race favored by the heavens. In that sense, the Human Race was actually quite similar, after all, the Human Race also had the possibility of awakening covenant objects. But unlike the Fairy Spirit Clan, the probability of awakening guardian spirits in the Fairy Spirit Clan was one hundred percent, not as low as the Human Race. Thinking like this, the Fairy Spirit Clan was truly favored by the heavens.

Seeing their doubts, the elder tapped his wooden staff on the ground, and his entire being surged with a special aura. Soon, a huge eyeball appeared behind the elder. That eyeball was completely condensed from spiritual energy and was a spiritual body. Just being looked at by it, Zhanyue and Yunyao felt their hair stand on end and a chill down their spines. This eye was extraordinary.

“Giant’s Eye, this is my guardian spirit. Guardian spirits are not creatures that truly exist. They are completely different due to individual differences and bring us different powers,” the elder explained. “Come with me. After you awaken, you will understand that you are indeed the same as us, also a member of the Fairy Spirit Clan.”

The Prophet knew Zhanyue didn’t believe it. He had always known, but he wasn’t in a hurry to explain. Because facts speak louder than words.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Zhanyue had no choice but to follow, and Yunyao also moved along, waiting to watch the show.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at a depression. It could be seen that this seemed to be a spring eye, but there was no spring water gushing out here.

“This is the place of awakening?” Zhanyue was a bit surprised. Anything could happen in this magical realm, but since this was the awakening place of the Fairy Spirit Clan, it should be important and sacred. However, who would have thought that this place was just a dirt pit?

“You sit in it. The Divine Awakening Spring will sense the bloodline of the Fairy Spirit Clan and awaken. It will help you awaken the power hidden within your body that belongs to the Fairy Spirit Clan,” the elder said, pointing to the dirt pit.

Zhanyue was forced to sit in the dirt pit like a duck being herded onto a perch. It was better for both sides to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

For the Fairy Spirit Clan, this dirt pit could be considered quite a large swimming pool when filled with spring water, but Zhanyue sitting there alone felt a bit out of place.

Just like that, Zhanyue sat quietly, with the Prophet and Yunyao watching from the side. After a long time, there was still no reaction, and even the Prophet couldn’t help but frown.

“I said… I’m not…” Before Zhanyue could finish his words, the spring eye in front of him started to move. First, a little bit of water seeped out, then the water column became larger and larger, shooting higher and higher.

“It’s coming, it’s coming. The awakening power of the Fairy Spirit Clan. The greater the potential, the higher the spring water will shoot. I don’t know to what degree he can achieve,” the Prophet said excitedly.

Yunyao’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief on her face. Did Zhanyue really have the Fairy Spirit Clan’s bloodline within him? What… what was going on?

In front of Zhanyue, the spring water surged, becoming more and more turbulent. The water flow shot out from the ground, and the water column got higher and higher. Three meters, five meters, thirty meters, fifty meters… The water column directly shot towards the sky.

“Is it raining?” The Fairy Spirit Clan members looked at the small water droplets falling from the sky in puzzlement. “It rains every twenty days in the Dreamland of the Immortals, fixed and unchanging. The time for rain hasn’t arrived yet, so why is it raining early?” someone wondered.

“No, no, look over there!” someone said, pointing in the distance.

“That place is… the Divine Awakening Spring?” The Fairy Spirit Clan members looked over and saw a spectacular scene. A column of water directly shot up from the ground into the sky, and the scattered water droplets covered the entire Dreamland of the Immortals, making it seem like it had started to drizzle.

“It’s… it’s impossible… How could someone’s awakening water column be so high…”

The water column connecting heaven and earth didn’t stop for a long time. Zhanyue was now completely submerged by the spring water. The spring pool, which should have only been a small water pit, had now become an extremely large pond.

“…The Fairy Spirit Clan has never given birth to such a concentrated bloodline power… Even the former Fairy Spirit King didn’t have such a pure bloodline as his… The legend… is true!” This Fairy Spirit Clan’s Prophet was trembling all over, simply too excited.

“What’s going on?” It was difficult for Yunyao to maintain her composure on her beautiful face. Zhanyue’s Fairy Spirit bloodline was purer than the king of the Fairy Spirit Clan. What did that mean? Wasn’t he from the Human Race? She was dumbfounded.

However, at this moment, Zhanyue’s mind had long fallen into another mysterious feeling. Many, many things appeared in his mind. It seemed like the information of the entire starry river was instantly poured into his brain, but all the starry rivers disappeared in an instant, not leaving a single bit of memory in his mind. He seemed to have seen many secrets of the universe, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot all these secrets. Just like that, he kept acquiring and forgetting. Until the myriad spiritual energy gathered and took form behind him.

Different from those animals or the mysterious eyeball of the Prophet, behind Zhanyue was a huge human-shaped figure. From the figure, it seemed to be a woman, but it was so blurry that the facial features couldn’t be seen at all.

Yunyao saw that completely indiscernible human-shaped spiritual image and actually felt a sense of reverence welling up from the bottom of her heart. She almost couldn’t help but want to kneel down and worship. “This is… Zhanyue’s… guardian spirit?” She couldn’t tell who it was at all, only knowing that she was sacred, noble, only knowing that she was inviolable and indescribable.

Zhanyue also seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head and looked at his guardian spirit image. He dared to say that this woman was not any woman he knew. Different from Yunyao’s feeling, Zhanyue only felt a strange familiarity from the woman. The woman’s embrace seemed to be a mother’s embrace.

“Mother of All Things…” The Prophet had already knelt down in front of that woman’s spiritual image, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, the Prophet seemed to have understood some things, understood why Zhanyue’s Fairy Spirit bloodline within his body was so pure. But in an instant, the entire Dreamland of the Immortals shook, as if everything was about to fall apart, even space-time itself seemed to be on the verge of destruction. The Prophet looked around in panic, then everything returned to calm again. It was just that the Prophet felt he had suddenly forgotten something, but he couldn’t remember what it was.

“How is this possible?!” Outside the world, Wu Yunmeng, the Heavenly Book Spirit who had been paying attention to Zhanyue, was no less surprised than Yunyao. Her nine tails swayed wildly, a manifestation of her inner agitation. As the Heavenly Book Spirit, she knew even more. The Dreamland of the Immortals was a virtual world, maintained by the Heavenly Book’s computation and simulation, but the information obtained by the Prophet exhausted the Heavenly Book’s computational power and nearly caused the Dreamland of the Immortals to directly collapse. In the end, the Heavenly Book had no choice but to directly delete the Prophet’s memory, not letting things proceed normally. Only then did it avoid the collapse of this illusory world.

“Just what secret is hidden within that guardian spirit? Just simulating it nearly caused the Heavenly Book to collapse directly?” Not to mention Wu Yunmeng, even the Void Emperor himself had never experienced such a thing. You should know, the Heavenly Book could even trap the Star Boat and Lei Ying, which were also true divine instruments, by constructing a virtual world. Its power was beyond doubt, yet now it nearly collapsed just from simulating a segment of the past.

“Zhanyue… This man conceals secrets that even gods have no right to know…”
