The Queen's Destiny
4. Successor
Lanhua's eyelashes shook slightly. Lanhua slowly opened her closed eyes. He blinked his eyes several times, adjusting the light coming into his net.
Lanhua spread her gaze around him. His forehead was slightly wrinkled, as he was perplexed. 'Shouldn't I be in the lake? Why am I in a white room like this? ' inner Lanhua is confused.
Lanhua then got up from her seat. He stepped his foot while turning his head to and fro, so that he could get a clue where he was.
Too focused looking for clues, Lanhua did not realize that behind her appeared a blue light that appeared suddenly arrived. The light slowly turned into a water circle. Slowly the water circle disappeared replaced by a beautiful female figure.
The woman was wearing a grey outfit with a stick in her hand dark blue. A beautiful crown mounted sweetly on top of her head adds a degree of beauty to her even though her face is already adorned with wrinkles.
The woman turned her gaze towards Lanhua who was in front of her. The two corners of the woman's lips lifted into a beautiful smile. With Graceful steps the woman walked slowly closer to Lanhua .
Lanhua turned her body back, sensing that someone was approaching her. At her sight a beautiful woman was walking towards her with graceful steps. Really graceful, no contrived impression
The woman smiled towards Lanhua. The confused Lanhua only returned a smile towards the woman because she knew nothing.
The woman then stopped walking in front of Lanhua. A beautiful smile was still painted on her wrinkled face. The woman looked into Lanhua's eyes.
"Young man, introduce the name of this old lady Yun Rui. You can call me all you want. What's your name, young man? "Ask the woman who turned out to be named Yun Rui. Lanhua was a little shocked by this woman in front of her.
"A-ah, my name is Lanhua aunty. Who is this aunt? "The sentence came straight out of Lanhua's mouth. Yun Rui chuckled.
"No need to bother this old lady. Okay, Lanhua. I came here, wanted to tell you something. But before that, I'll tell you a little history. You don't know what's here yet, do you? Because you are a newcomer here" Yun Rui said with a hint of ruckus.
Lanhua gasped in shock at Yun Rui's words. "Auntie, how did you know? "Ask Lanhua tense. "Lanhua doesn't need to know. Obviously, I won't repeat what I said. Listen well either" Yun Rui's reply did not satisfy Lanhua. But Lanhua simply nodded her head.
"You must know about the upper world, right? "Ask Yun Rui. Lanhua nodded her head. Yes, the book he read yesterday describes the world he is living in. This world, divided into three; the underworld, the middle world, and the upper world.
The underworld became the residence of lowly cultivators and ordinary humans, the middle world became the residence of great masters, weapons experts. As for the upper world, a dwelling place for the gods who are in charge of maintaining balance and world peace.
"The upper world is where the gods live. Once upon a time, there was a very powerful kingdom. The Kingdom of Heaven is called. The Kingdom of Heaven maintained the balance and peace of the world for centuries. Until one day, another new kingdom appeared.
The new kingdom started from the Fire and Ice Kingdom. The two kingdoms, always have a conflict that is very difficult to stop. Until one day, the Kingdom of the Sea appeared, along with the disappearance of the Kingdom of the Sky. The Sea Kingdom lives in the midst of the conflict of the two kingdoms, Ice and Fire"Yun Rui turned her body, turning her back to Lanhua.
From there the Kingdom of the Sea began to carry out its duties. Peace and balance of the world. The Kingdom of the Sea helped solve the problems that existed between the two hostile kingdoms for centuries. If the Sea Kingdom does not intervene, it can be ascertained if the balance of the world will be destroyed.
Most likely, the Ice Kingdom will attack the Fire Kingdom. While the strength of the two kingdoms was extremely unbalanced, the Ice Kingdom was much stronger than the Fire Kingdom. Even so, it was still the most powerful Sea Kingdom.
Until one day, disaster came. The whole world seems to be ending. Someone, has awakened the Sky Kingdom that has been asleep for centuries. The balance of the world is almost gone. The entire land suffered the agony of the goddess of destruction!
The greedy god did not know the shame of wanting the Sea Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom. The problem is not finished yet. The greedy god instead helped the goddess of destruction. He is a really greedy creature.
Feeling that world peace was disappearing, the Sea Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom negotiated, discussing a plan to banish the goddess of destruction. The two kingdoms then agreed to finish off the goddess of destruction and the greedy god.
After planning a plan and careful preparation, the two kingdoms then attacked the unknowing gods. No one loses, or wins. The gods of the Sea Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom as well as other kingdoms who participated in the battle fell in battle with honor. The greedy god managed to escape with a wound that could not be said a little, and the goddess of destruction was sealed in a secret place.
The Sea Kingdom was sealed and frozen within the Bottomless Sea. The casualties from the battle were numerous. Although they only intend to finish off the gods, but their strength cannot be underestimated" Yun Rui sighed, regulating his explosive emotions carried away by the story.
Yun Rui then turned her body around, staring at Lanhua who was seriously listening to her story. "Is there anything you want to ask? "Ask Yun Rui to Lanhua. "Who is the goddess and the god? What's the purpose of them doing all this? Did anyone survive the incident? Where is the Groundless Sea? "Ask Lanhua streak.
"They did all of this, of course in order to be in control of these three worlds. From the disaster, there must have been survivors. They then revived the sleeping kingdom. Except for the Sea Kingdom, that kingdom cannot be revived, unless the one who revives the Sea Kingdom is its white bloodline" Yun Rui replied calmly.
"Ah, aunt you haven't answered my first and last question" Lanhua said with a probing look towards Yun Rui. Yun Rui chuckled. "Ah, right. I'm too old to remember what you said, young man. First question, I can't answer it. The last question, the Bottomless Sea is in the upper world" Yun Rui replied.
Lanhua raised one of her eyebrows. "How old is aunt? "Ask Lanhua astonished. Yun Rui looked to sigh. "You must be surprised to know how old I am. I am already 2500 years old" Yun Rui replied weakly. Lanhua was silent in place as she stared in disbelief at Yun Rui.
"Auntie, don't joke" Lanhua said seriously. Yun Rui chuckled. "Hahahaha what's the point of me joking around, telling you a lie? I'm serious" Yun Rui replied with a laugh. Lanhua looked at Yun Rui's horror.
He thought the age of the woman in front of him had not reached 50 years because he looked young. But.. What he thinks is far from reality. There was a little envy in Lanhua's mind for seeing Yun Rui's face that was so young, not according to her age.
"Haaiih, well, I believe auntie didn't lie. So, what did auntie mean to say this to me? "Ask Lanhua curious. Yun Rui smiled as she looked at Lanhua.
"The greedy god will not stop doing bad things before his desire is achieved, even his desire to rule the world ingrained to the bones and blood of his descendants. His bad plan will never stop until his wish is achieved. I'm worried about it" Yun Rui said with a worried expression.
"So, what should I do? "Lanhua continued to push Yun Rui. Knowing that the young girl before him was impatient with the intention of his arrival, Yun Rui could not help but smile on her face.
"I want you to help the world's supervisors complete their task. The task, to stop the greedy god's bad plan" Yun Rui's reply made Lanhua stiffen on the spot. "That's.... How-to? "Ask Lanhua in doubt. Really, he had just come to this world, and was immediately greeted by an unreasonable task here.
"Hmmm, you need to awaken the Sea Kingdom that is frozen inside the Bottomless Sea. And yes, the savior of the world was someone who was the holy descendant of the Sky Kingdom "said Yun Rui calmly.
Lanhua fell silent in place. Maybe if it helps the savior of the world, it might still be able to. But, he was ordered to awaken the frozen Sea Kingdom. This, is a bit heavy for him.
"I know this is a little difficult. Trust me, you can do it. You just need to train hard here, so you can be strong. After that, you can search for the savior of the world "said Yun Rui as if reading Lanhua's mind.
"Who is the savior of the world? "Ask Lanhua slowly. It seemed that he was a little shocked so as not to hear Yun Rui's explanation earlier. Yun Rui approached Lanhua then gently stroked Lanhua's back. "Savior of the world, he is the sacred descendant of the Kingdom of Heaven. A holy descendant is someone who has or does not have the blood of a kingdom. The holy bloodline has a special duty to him, which he is obliged to carry out. If not implemented, the person who becomes the holy descendant of a kingdom will be punished. For example, you are a sacred descendant of the Sea Kingdom. You could have the blood of the Sea Kingdom, you might not. You have a special task that you have to do. Otherwise, you will receive punishment" Yun Rui explained.
Lanhua nodded her head slowly. He then looked at Yun Rui who was beside him. "How do I go to the upper world? And how to awaken the frozen Sea Kingdom? "Ask Lanhua.
Yun Rui slightly glanced down. "Ah, my time is up. I will give you the power of the Kingdom of the Sea. Last information, I am the goddess of the Sea Kingdom in the upper world. As the previous queen, and you as my descendant, I ask you to raise the Sea Kingdom" Yun Rui's body slowly became transparent.
Yun Rui's index finger then stuck to Lanhua's forehead. Waves of energy burst forth on Yun Rui's index finger which was now slowly starting to become transparent.
Lanhua closed her eyes feeling her body as if it was being watered by water. He felt his own blood flow in his body. Slowly, Lanhua's consciousness began to diminish. Before he was right in staying his consciousness, faintly faint he heard Yun Rui's voice.
"For my successor..
Your name's.. It's Rui Lan"
