”Mother, Gaia!” Mu Qingfeng glanced around the crowd and said that as clearly as possible in a serious tone.
”Mother Gaia?!”
”What? That's…”
”How could there be a record about Mother Gaia?”
Even though they had mentally prepared themselves when Mu Qingfeng mentioned 'Archean Miraculous Ruin', everyone was still dumbfounded when he brought up 'Mother Gaia'.
That was because Miraculous Ruin and Mother Gaia were completely unrelated.
Everyone knew what Mother Gaia meant, just like how they knew their mothers' names.
However, knowing about it was different from finding a record, because Mother Gaia existed in a time period that dated back tens of thousands of years ago.
An 'Archean Miraculous Ruin' that recorded what had happened tens of thousands of years ago?
How was that possible!
No one could believe it, but they had to, because Mu Qingfeng was the one who announced the news.
”I know that you may know believe me, but I am honestly telling the truth. Mother Gaia's name was mentioned multiple times in the Archean scripture, and that is why I have determined that it's an Archean Miraculous Ruin!” Mu Qingfeng exclaimed firmly.
”Leader, could you tell us the exact contents of the scripture?”
”Ok. Since it's an Archean Scripture, I couldn't comprehend it entirely due to my lack of knowledge, so I had to deduce part of the content. Furthermore, since the scripture was written on a rock, I wasn't able to bring it out. I could only figure out the rough content.”
”Leader, I'm afraid that no one in the Holy Region would be better than you in the field of Archean language study. Please don't be so humble.”
”Alright. Since everyone is willing to trust me, I would announce its contents so that we can make a decision together.”
”Leader, please!”
”There are three parts to the scripture. The first part was mainly talking about the time when Heaven and Earth had just been created. The turmoil and unrest resulted in the instability of Heaven and Earth, and it led to a massive disaster!”
”A massive disaster?”
”That's right. It lasted for a long time. Flames fell from the sky and lightning struck the earth relentlessly. Sometimes, even meteorites would come crashing down on earth.” Mu Qingfeng took a break at this moment and gazed towards the sky as if he was picturing the disaster in his mind.
Everyone went silent as well. Falling flames, nonstop lighting, and even meteorites. They could almost imagine how much pain and suffering the living things went through during that period.
”The second part was a little messy, or it might have been due to my limited knowledge that I could only decipher a small part of it. It talked about how Mother Gaia led the humans to find the source of the disaster, and eventually discovered that they were Heavenly Condemnations. That was she began 'amending the heaven'.”
”Amending the heaven?”
”That's right. Amending the heaven!”
”What happened next?”
”I couldn't figure out the remaining content, but if I had to make an educated guess, I believe that the remaining content of the second part was talking about how Mother Gaia amended the heaven.” Mu Qingfeng shook his head and replied.
”Leader, that is exactly what we are thinking!” Everyone nodded softly when they heard him. They had agreed with his deduction.
”The third part was difficult to understand. With my limited knowledge, I could only figure out a few phrases after several months, even with the help of Guyan.”
”Phrases? Leader, please enlighten me!”
”The first phrase was 'closure'. Based on the previous parts, I believe that it was referring to the fact that the heaven was amended, and the Heavenly Condemnations had disappeared. However, it could also refer to the closure of a path, or even a… Door. That's right, a door was closed!”
”A door?” Everyone stared at each other. They wanted to say something, but they didn't know how they should start the conversation.
”I arrived at that conclusion because the second phrase was 'Gate of God'. This phrase… Had appeared multiple times as well!”
”Gate of God?!”
”The third phrase was the reason that I have gathered all of you here, because it was 'Heaven Zen Mountain'!” Mu Qingfeng continued after taking a deep breath.
”Heaven Zen Mountain? The first phrase is 'closure', the second phrase is 'Gate of God', and the third phrase is 'Heaven Zen Mountain'?”
”Is Heaven Zen Mountain the Gate of God that was closed?”
”I doubt it's that simple?”
Everyone was guessing what the phrases meant, but no one could prove anything because there was too little information.
”Leader Mu!” Someone from Fu Xi Valley stood up. His beard was white, and he wore a grey and white long robe embroidered with two ancient words, 'Fu Xi'.
He was Fu Xi Valley's elder, Gu Yuan.
”Elder Gu, please speak your mind.” Mu Qingfeng obviously knew that Gu Yuan had something to say, so he nodded and gestured at him.
”Leader Mu, I don't think that you've gathered us solely for the discussion about the Archean scripture, right? Leader Mu could have simply sent us a letter if you wanted to discuss about the scripture. So, why did you go through the trouble of gathering everyone here?” Gu Yuan's lips curled into a smile and he paid his respect to Mu Qingfeng.
”Elder Gu is right!”
”Leader Mu, why did you organize the Heaven Alliance Meeting?”
Everyone nodded when they heard Gu Yuan, because they also realized that the content of the Archean scripture was just an initiator.
”Haha, Elder Gu is right. I've invited everyone here for two reasons. The first reason is to share the news of the Archean scripture, and the second reason, is to draw a connection between the scripture and the bizarre changes in the world.” Mu Qingfeng smiled and nodded at Gu Yuan before he continued.
”Are you saying that they are related?”
”I've forgotten to bring this up just now. The bizarre changes in the world only started occurring after I found the Archean Miraculous Ruin beneath Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, I am certain that all the bizarre changes started from the location of the Miraculous Ruin, and gradually extended outwards!” Mu Qingfeng sounded affirmative.
”What?! It began after the Archean Miraculous Ruin has appeared?”
