Chapter 31 Navilette, Authority Revealed! Forbidden - Eternal Glory! Exposed!
The brilliance of the words on the list gradually faded.
Instead, a vast and magnificent picture is slowly unfolding.
It was not a static picture, but a flowing play of light and shadow, a projection of real history.
Everyone held their breath.
They knew that the Golden List was displaying those two terrifying powers known as "taboo".
The scene depicts a desolate, barren wasteland.
A thousand miles of yellow sand, barren of vegetation, only weathered rocks standing like tombstones.
A tall and slender figure appeared at the edge of the frame.
The face is not visible.
All that could be seen was her flowing silver hair and her magnificent, deep blue robe, as blue as the sea.
He held in his hands the heavy legal code entitled "The Great Code of Eternal Flow".
Without any unnecessary movements, he simply turned a page of the book.
Whoosh—
The sound of turning pages overlapped with the sudden sound of the tides rising between heaven and earth.
Clear springs suddenly appeared on the once dry yellow sand.
Immediately afterwards, the sun, moon, and stars in the picture began to spin wildly.
The alternation of day and night is so fast that only streaks of black and white light remain.
In the dizzying passage of time, springs converge into rivers, and rivers rush into the sea.
The dry rocks have turned into soil over time.
Seeds sprout, towering trees rise from the ground, only to wither and fall in an instant, turning into spring mud to nourish the next generation of forests.
In just a few breaths.
That once lifeless expanse of yellow sand had completely vanished.
Instead, there is a vast expanse of blue ocean and lush primeval forests along the coast.
The world changes.
These four words are no longer just pale idioms from books, but a terrifying miracle right before our eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the world can be transformed.
That's Navelette's method.
If the awe-inspiring power of "the changing of the sea into mulberry fields" is grand, then the following scenes evoke a chill that runs deep in one's soul.
...
The scene changes.
The perspective shifts to an unknown, bustling ancient city.
The deep blue figure still hovered silently above the city.
A pale blue, transparent light curtain, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloped the entire city.
Outside the light screen, the wind was calm, the clouds drifted by, and everything was as usual.
Within the light screen, time, like a wild horse, runs rampant and completely breaks free.
People watched helplessly as the city's buildings deteriorated, weathered, and collapsed at a visible rate.
The creatures in the city, the bewildered people, birds and beasts, experienced birth, aging, sickness and death in a very short time.
Infants grow up in an instant, youths turn white-haired in the blink of an eye, and the elderly turn into withered bones.
One generation dies, and a new generation is reborn from the ruins, experiencing this cycle a thousand times faster.
The outside world is but a fleeting moment.
Within that light screen, ten thousand years had already flowed by.
Only that figure suspended in the air remained steadfast amidst the frantically flowing torrent of time.
Time has left not a single mark on him.
Even the hem of the garment has not faded with time.
This is the taboo that will be remembered for eternity.
This is eternity.
When the image completely disappeared and the list of winners returned to calm.
The Douluo Continent fell into a long period of silence.
This deathly silence was longer and more oppressive than any before.
...
Outside Jialing Pass.
Tang San stared intently at the sky, which had returned to calm.
His chest heaved violently, and his tightly clenched fists suddenly loosened weakly.
The stinging pain from his nails digging deep into his palms couldn't pull him out of his immense sense of defeat.
We lost.
We lost completely.
If he could still harbor a slight thought of "I can take her place" when facing Funina's "still waters flowing with brilliance" before.
Now, facing this "Grand Ceremony of Eternal Flow," which controls time and space and symbolizes absolute rules, we are now in awe of this book.
The pride in his heart, like the lingering snow under the scorching sun, melted away without a trace.
"Why..."
Tang San's voice was deep.
"Why can a single faction possess two supreme artifacts?"
"And it's the number one or two divine artifacts?"
He didn't understand.
He is a dual god, a chosen one, who has gone through countless hardships to get to where he is today.
The Trident of Poseidon, the Demon Sword of Asura—which one wasn't obtained through his life-or-death struggle?
But what about Navelette?
I've never even heard of him going through any divine trials, nor have I heard of him slaying any earth-shattering soul beasts.
He casually produced two treasures that were enough to crush the entire divine realm.
On what grounds?
Jealousy was like a venomous snake, biting Tang San hard in the heart.
If Villette is only slightly stronger, he will find a way to surpass her.
But this insurmountable gap almost made him lose the courage to even try to catch up.
"call..."
Just then.
A slightly heavy sigh sounded beside Tang San.
Tang San turned his head stiffly.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the direction of Tianshui City. His usually stiff and rigid face was surprisingly calm at this moment.
There was no despair like Tang San's, nor the fear like that of the others.
Even in those eyes that always carried a hint of melancholy, there shone a light called "wisdom".
"teacher..."
Tang San called out, his voice tinged with helplessness.
Yu Xiaogang withdrew his gaze and looked at his most prized disciple.
He gently shook his head, his expression suggesting that even if the sky were to fall, he could still find logical flaws in it.
"You've lost your composure, mistress."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was not loud, but it carried a strange, comforting power.
"Jealousy and fear can blind you and prevent you from seeing the true nature of things."
Tang San gave a wry smile.
"Essence? Teacher, does essence still have any meaning in the face of absolute power?"
"That even involves the realm of time… I no longer know how to defeat him."
Yu Xiaogang did not directly refute, but instead took a step and slowly paced in front of the tent.
"Think about it carefully."
"From Fryna's 'The Edge of Tranquility' to Navelette's 'The Great Ceremony of Eternal Flow'."
What do these three top-ranked artifacts have in common?
Tang San was taken aback, and subconsciously replied:
"They're all...related to water."
"That's right."
Yu Xiaogang stopped in his tracks, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Water is associated with power related to judgment, law, time, and the ocean."
"And on the Douluo Continent, is there any place that perfectly matches these characteristics?"
Tang San didn't need to answer; Yu Xiaogang had already provided the answer.
"Only Tianshui City."
"It can only be Tianshui City."
Yu Xiaogang turned around and stared intently at Tang San.
"Do you remember that statue we saw in the center of Tianshui City a long time ago when I took you there?"
