Chapter 1416: Chapter 1140: Keep Moving Forward!_3
"Fine, fine, you were already so tall, but your entire race has disappeared, even your planet is gone. What the heck happened?" Long Yi asked in wonder.
"Ha ha ha, that’s a long story! Let’s walk and talk!"
Sand beneath Stone Fist formed into a platform, swiftly carrying him forward, while Long Yi simply flew beside him. Along the way, Stone Fist recounted everything that had happened to Long Yi, including the internal strife among his race, the excavation of a massive Cosmic Stone crystal, and the crystal getting transported here, though on the way, it got knocked into the wrong time-space and ended up on this planet. They helped the Prophets and even met Elsa!
Hearing about Elsa, Long Yi’s eyes widened; this was the news he had been eagerly anticipating!
"But speaking of which, these Prophets are really bizarre! The predictions they made all came true!" Stone Fist continued, "Years ago, they told me to wait here today for a person I am well acquainted with to suddenly appear. And not a minute after I got here, you blasted out of the sand."
"What do you mean I blasted out of the sand! I was transported here from a Middle Plane, okay!" Long Yi defended loudly.
"Then your teleport was quite rough, buried in the sand like that," Stone Fist said, shaking his head.
"I’m feeling pretty spooked myself!" Long Yi replied, somewhat helplessly.
"Anyway, come back to the tribe with me, get some rest, and then we’ll go meet those Prophets. They specifically asked to see you!"
Meet the Prophets? Long Yi wasn’t particularly interested; the person he wanted to see the most was Elsa. He wasn’t worried about the people in Whitestar, since even if they encountered a group of Giant Dragons, with Whitestar’s combat power, those dragons wouldn’t stand a chance. However, he was filled with curiosity about the group of Prophets who had predicted his arrival a long time ago. Even Suolin couldn’t make such precise predictions, and according to her, after breaking certain rules, she seemed to be able to reveal secrets of the future. But there were many variables influencing the future, making it nearly impossible to be as precise as these Prophets.
The two moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the town built on the massive Cosmic Stone crystal was already in sight. Compared to the rough stone constructions of the past, today’s buildings were clearly much more refined.
From a distance, Long Yi could see Old Stone Fist, who seemed to have been waiting there for a while!
"Long Yi! It is you! I knew it would be you!" Old Stone Fist exclaimed, hugging Long Yi tightly. It felt like an adult embracing a one-year-old child.
"Ha ha, it really has been a long time!" Long Yi quickly pushed away from the enthusiastic hug.
Although Long Yi felt that they hadn’t seen each other in less than a year, to Old Stone Fist, it had been over thirty years. With no outsiders seen for over thirty years, they naturally rejoiced at the arrival of Long Yi, an old friend. After taking some time to rest, Stone Fist stood up and said, "I think it’s time to take Long Yi to see those Prophets."
Old Stone Fist nodded, "Yes, those Prophets must be getting a bit anxious by now, after all, according to their prophecy, Long Yi should have arrived by now, ha ha ha!"
Stone Fist set off with Long Yi again, arriving at a location on the planet. The surrounding sand quickly dispersed, revealing a metallic ground beneath. Then, a massive gate slowly opened, and an equally large elevator rose up. Nine people wearing similar robes stood there. They were tall and short, men and women, old and young. What they had in common were blindfolds over their eyes, each adorned with the drawing of an eye.
"A thousand-year prophecy, fulfilled today at last!" The leader, an old man, excitedly knelt down, with the eight people behind him following suit.
"Calm down, what are you all doing?" Long Yi hurriedly helped the elder up and signalled to the others to stand as well.
"Centuries ago, ten top Prophets made an ultimate prediction, that you would appear now, and here you are!" said the old man, filled with excitement.
"Do you know who I am?"
"You are Long Yi, the Giant Pioneer, a true god. The Creator God is your friend, the fearsome Devourer is your little sister, and the laws of god are your servants. You come from the Human Realm, entered the Middle Plane from the Lower Plane, and now you’ve reached the Upper Plane!"
Long Yi raised his eyebrows, feeling shocked and a bit uneasy as his first reaction was that he felt like he had been watched.
But that shouldn’t be possible.
"Did you discern all this from prophecies?" Even with what he saw, Long Yi still couldn’t believe it.
"Please come with us, when you see the Eye of the Ancestor, you’ll understand," said the elder.
Long Yi nodded his head, seeing as there wasn’t much choice.
"So, should I leave now?" Stone Fist felt that there probably wasn’t much else for him here.
"Thank you for your efforts, Stone Fist," the elder said, then with a slight smile added, "Go back and tell your father that everything is within our prophecy, we were not anxious." The old Prophet said.
Stone Fist was taken aback, then remembered, this must be a response to Old Stone Fist’s earlier comment. He laughed and waved his hand, no longer surprised by the behaviors of this mysterious group of Prophets.
Stone Fist departed, and Long Yi followed the Prophets underground. After a long corridor, there was a kingdom completely established underground. Here, everything was self-sufficient. All resources were internally recycled, with no concerns about ever running out. The Prophet race had a small population to begin with, and the vast planet was completely operated by automated machinery, leaving no worries about resource issues. All the Prophets needed to do was tend to their own affairs. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
