Chapter 296 The Tragedy of the World [9] A Dead End
—[Past] Shui Linglong Palace—
Shui Qingli sat on the throne in the Shui Linglong Palace, her brows furrowed.
The pollution of water sources in the human world has unsurprisingly affected this ruler of water. His primordial spirit is gradually weakening, and he even needs to maintain some immortal power at all times in order to hide all the black marks covering his body.
These are all minor matters. Shui Qingli could clearly feel that the beast suppressed in her heart was gradually resurfacing, and if something unexpected happened, it would probably be difficult to suppress.
At one moment, Shui Qingli suddenly clutched his chest, a sharp pain in his heart causing him to furrow his brow: "Ugh..."
"Water Prince! How are you?" Upon seeing this, Wang Mo immediately stepped forward to help Shui Qingli up, asking with concern.
As time passed, Wang Mo, now over fifty, was no longer young. The years had left indelible marks on her face, which was the biggest difference between her, a human, and a fairy.
Looking back on her life, she finally stayed by the side of the "prince" she had always dreamed of, only to see him gradually weaken because of the actions of humans.
But no matter how much she does, she can't change the damage humans cause to the environment.
The insignificant female protagonist finally realized that this world is not a fairy tale world, and everyone is not an NPC. They will not easily change their absolute interests and long-term views because of some well-intentioned words.
"I'm fine." Although she said she was fine, Shui Qingli was already used to it.
This is the path he chose, isn't it?
Suppressing her heartache, Shui Qingli pushed Wang Mo away and looked out at the outside world through the now less clear Jing Shui Lake.
It seems that the last piece of clean water in this world will soon dry up...
—【Past】Yinque Xiaozhu—
The Yinque Pavilion was bustling like never before. Several Lingxi Pavilion masters, led by Yan Jue, including the anxious Hua Ling, the bewildered Shi Xi, the reclusive Du Xi Fei, the severely weakened Pang Zun who was suffering from a backlash, and Ai Zhen who had barely recovered her senses with the help of Yue Yin, all came to visit Yue Yin to discuss matters concerning the Immortal Realm.
Even the Xinling and Mandora sisters, who are always at odds, the Huo Liaoye and Mengyi, who are always scheming behind people's backs, and the radiation siblings who never see the light of day, all came.
It can be said that among the remaining Saint-level fairies in the fairyland, only Li Hui, who was indifferent to the matter, and Shui Qingli, who had already foreseen the end of the world, did not come.
"The reason I invited you all here today is to discuss the survival of the Fairy Realm." Yueyin's solemn expression highlighted the seriousness of the situation: "I'm sure you've all noticed that the development of the human world has seriously affected the survival of the Fairy Realm, and even you all here have suffered as a result."
"According to Yan Jue, the gate between the fairyland and the human world has been closed for some unknown reason. Now we only have one path to take, and that is the gate behind me."
The fairies' expressions all became somewhat solemn. After all, behind Yueyin was the gate to the forbidden land, which had only been closed for a few decades. They all knew what Yueyin's words meant.
“I disagree!” Xin Ling frowned. “If we let them out, they will definitely destroy the human world. We cannot accept the destruction of the human world.”
"Besides, we already suffered heavy losses in the last war, do we really want to take the same risk again?"
“Sister, I told you long ago, you’re just a soft-hearted woman.” Mandora, unsurprisingly, stood against Xinling: “Don’t you understand? It’s the very humanity you trust that has brought us to this desperate situation!”
……
The scene was chaotic at one point, but given the circumstances, all the fairies who had suffered greatly naturally supported Mandora, so the final result was that they agreed to open the seal on the forbidden land.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred at this very moment—not only could the gate to the human world remain unopened, but even the seal on the forbidden land... was beyond repair!
"How could this be?"
Not only the fairies on Yueyin's side, but even the Dharma beings in the forbidden land looked at each other in bewilderment.
The fairyland was already in dire straits, and no one would doubt that Yueyin didn't want to break the seal. But the reality was that Yueyin could no longer break the seal no matter what she did!
Yan Jue watched as his last hope was extinguished, his expression one of rare despair—was this the end of the road for the fairyland?
