BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 147: Disaster
The other saints watched him in surprise. Seeing the Head Saint struggle so much, they all wondered just what was the future that he was seeing! Just what could be so scary that even the Divine Saint was covered in sweat.
However, they didn\'t realize that it wasn\'t what the Head Saint saw, but what he didn\'t see.
The Head Saint couldn\'t see anything. It was as if there was a scary darkness that had shrouded the entire Divine Realm, which made it impossible for him to see through it.
The more he tried to see through the Darkness, the more he felt as if he was going to be swallowed by that darkness.
After a long struggle, he managed to take a glimpse through that dark shroud. It was unclear what he saw, but at that exact moment, his heart stopped.
The Head Saint dropped on the ground, stunning all the other Saints. They rushed to him, scared. However, as soon as they checked him, they were frozen in fear. The Head Saint had died!
Just until the morning, he was perfectly fine. However, when he tried to see through the future, he died so suddenly. It made all Saints worry just what the future was! Just what did their Head Saint see? Just what was the future that even the Leader of the Tower of Divination had died!
The news of the Head Saint\'s death spread like wildfire, causing panic and unrest among the people of the Tower!
The Tower of Divination was known for its accurate predictions, but with the sudden demise of their leader, the future seemed uncertain and foreboding.
Quickly, a successor was selected for the position of the Saint, who decided to see through the future to see just what it was that the previous Head Saint saw.
However, after a short time, the new Head Saint also stopped, drenched in sweat.
"What did you see?" The others asked him. However, the new Head Saint was silent. It was as if he was still in shock.
After a long time, he raised his head. "Nothing... I saw nothing but darkness. I felt as if I was going to die if I tried to see through that darkness."
The other Saints looked at each other\'s faces. They didn\'t know what to think of it. It was clear that something foreboding was going to happen soon.
The Head Saint glanced at the ground next to him, where a name was carved. It was said that the previous Head Saint had carved that name with his nails right before dying.
The only clue they had was that one name... "Meiying..."
"Search the entire Divine Realm! Find out everyone with that name!" The Head Saint commanded.
The future that they saw was somewhat related to that name. As for what that relation was, they didn\'t know.

A Spatial Portal opened in the middle of nowhere. A young man stepped out of the portal, feeling the fresh air brush against his skin.
The world had a beautiful sky that was even brighter than the sky of the Celestial Realm. The air also felt a little different.
For some reason, Xu Shan felt slightly uncomfortable here. Even he didn\'t understand why that was. It was as if he didn\'t like this place at all.
"Yan Meiying... I still have a month to find you. First, I need to recover my Celestial Lotus..." Xu Shan muttered, observing the barren surroundings.
He spread out his Divine Sense. To his surprise, the range that he could cover was even bigger.
Now that he wasn\'t in the lower Realm, there was no restriction on his body and strength. He could finally use his full strength, without Heavenly Punishments falling over him, everytime he did.
In the vast barren land, but a single blade of glass could be seen. There were only a few beasts in the surroundings, who could be seen roaming. However, even those beasts were very far away.
Xu Shan could see signs of destruction and some rubble that had been buried under the soil all this time.
It was as if there used to be a massive structure here, which was destroyed by someone thousands of years ago.
From what he could guess, this used to be the place where the man who had created the Teleportation Formation in the Lower World lived.
It was clear that he brought the old man here, and taught him everything, before letting him leave to establish his own clan.
It was unclear just how this place was destroyed, but thousands of years was a long time. It was enough time for dynasties to rise and fall. So it wasn\'t surprising to him.
He rose in the air, and left in search of someone. The only thing he knew about the people who stole his Celestial Lotus was that they talked about some Queen of Divine Realm. He didn\'t know how many queens were here, but no matter how many they were, he had to take his Celestial Lotus back.
To find the queen, first he had to find a person, who could give him information about this place.
Flying over the vast landscapes of the Divine Realm, he searched for any signs of life. Fortunately, it didn\'t take him long to find a human carriage.
The carriage was being escorted by some guards, and it clearly belonged to someone from an important clan. All the guards had weapons, and appeared quite strong.
Xu Shan knew that approaching them might make them suspicious, but this was the first group he had seen after arriving here. He didn\'t even know if he was flying in the right direction or wrong. The Divine Realm was much bigger than the Celestial Realm.
Slowly, he landed on the ground before the carriage. The guards immediately became alert.
Xu Shan raised his palms to show that he meant no harm. "I apologize for startling you. I\'m just a traveler passing through. If you could answer a few questions of mine, I\'ll be on my way."
