Chapter 1484: Chapter 1344 Chapter 1484: Chapter 1344 âI feel like each Heavenly Boundary Monument seems to be conveying a certain conviction, like a story that has been fragmented into ten parts. Without fully piecing together these scattered stories, it is very difficult to understand what the Heavenly Region actually wants to express,â Princess Jinrou meticulously read the text written down by Chu Mu and translated it in her own unique way.
âSo now we have information from three Heavenly Boundary Monuments, right?â Chu Mu said.
âYes, but the information from these three Heavenly Boundary Monuments is not coherent. In our West Domainâs monument, it describes a race that once tried to rebel but was then subjected to very severe punishment.â
âWhat race?â Chu Mu asked.
âI donât know, it doesnât say. It only mentions they were very powerful,â Princess Jinrou glanced at Chu Mu and continued, âOn the Heavenly Boundary Monument in the Wanxiang Realm, it talks about the Ancient Jiao people, retelling their former might.â
Chu Mu already knew about the Ancient Jiao people, and had discovered the Wind Palace where they once slept with Princess Jinrou.
âThen there is the monument in Lin City of the Wupan Continent, which records the strongest creatures and races from 5000 years ago to the present, these creatures and races are still like gods in our era. Among them was a Nine Netherworlds that had stepped into the Undying Level. It mentioned that the Nine Netherworlds once battled a very powerful rebellious race and ultimately failed. This race seems to be the one recorded on our West Domain Heavenly Boundary Monument.â
It was from this last clue that Princess Jinrou deduced that all the Heavenly Boundary Monuments might be recounting an ancient legend, one that involves the worldâs strongest creatures and races. Princess Jinrou speculated that the Heavenly Boundary Monuments might be a historical monument, using unique scripts and illusory images to inform posterity of the tales of those creatures that had reached the pinnacle of existence.
Chu Mu nodded. When he had entered the Wind Palace before, the Fox Elder had also told him about these things. It seems that the Heavenly Boundary Monuments really were related to the once strongest beings.
The world of Soul Pets shows fluctuating developments, like a country in the long process of history, as long as it isnât completely destroyed, it will ultimately experience its rise and fall.
The world of Soul Pets has its prosperity and decline too. No one can claim that creatures from 5000 or 10000 years ago were weaker than those in this era. In fact, in certain periods, the racial superiority of those creatures might have been far stronger than what is called the strongest race now. However, natureâs laws do not favor the strongest for millennia â it only chooses those races that can survive in the long term.
So life goes on in this repetitive cycle. Which period indeed had the strong and the weak can only be roughly compared by descendants through historical traces left behind.
Perhaps, the Heavenly Boundary Monuments are exactly such markers, allowing descendants to know which creatures truly stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid in this incredibly prolonged process of life proliferation, ascent, mutation, aging, and degradation, becoming the gods of all life!
âAfter I arrived at the Sky Forest, I gathered information from the fourth Heavenly Boundary Monument. The story should be more coherent then. Once we have the records of ten Heavenly Boundary Monuments, maybe weâll unravel the mysteries of this world!â Saying this, Princess Jinrouâs eyes sparkled.
Princess Jinrou studied ancient scripts in order to unlock stories sealed by the ages. The thought of unlocking the mysteries of the Heavenly Boundary Monuments, which have remained a secret for thousands of years, naturally excited and thrilled her.
When it comes to the Heavenly Boundary Monuments, Princess Jinrou is much more enthusiastic than Chu Mu. It is evident that her goal is to collect the records of all ten monuments.
âDo you know the locations of the other Heavenly Boundary Monuments?â Chu Mu inquired.
âThree more are located in the Wupan Continent and the Struggle Land. The remaining three are not within the realms of humans. It is said that one is in the depths of the Henghai, another is at the ends of the World Ridge, and the thirdâs location is unknown.â
âI havenât found any records regarding the last Heavenly Boundary Monument in any of the documents Iâve gathered from various places. In fact, many predecessors believed that there were only nine Heavenly Boundary Monuments because, after searching every corner of the world, they couldnât find the last one.â
âMany scholars have made various speculations, one of which was proposed by an old scholar a thousand years ago. He believed that the last Heavenly Boundary Monument might be in an Independent Space, meaning that the last monument does not exist in our dimension but possibly in independent spaces like the Holy Land, Immortal City, or Seal Tower,â Princess Jinrou said all in one breath.
Chu Mu nodded. Since he was a Monument Weeper, he figured that even if he didnât bother with these matters, someone would come looking for him, especially since Ning Manâer had told him about the existence of Fake Monument Weepers.
It was still necessary to understand the matter of the Heavenly Boundary Monuments.
As they were talking, a faint glimmer of light fell from the sky, dimly illuminating Princess Jinrouâs blue, translucent form.
Princess Jinrou continued to be engrossed in depicting the various information she had collected on the Heavenly Boundary Monuments and making conjectures about the creatures mentioned therein. She didnât notice the morning light falling upon her, casting a gorgeous and enchanting holiness on her body.
The ghostly form of Princess Jinrou not only retained her stunning beauty but also added a purity like a green lotus and a gracefully swaying charm. Chu Muâs heart had been attracted to her charm more than once, just like the first time he saw her on the deck, even though she wore a thin veil, those sorrowful and beautiful eyes fiercely captivated him.
Chu Mu gazed at her, becoming somewhat lost in thought. Princess Jinrou, thinking Chu Mu was engrossed in her words, wore a slight smile and made a comprehensive summary of her speculations.
âMy knowledge is very limited, and these are all the deductions I can make. Regarding the strength of the Nine Netherworlds and the Ancient Jiao people, I still think the Nine Netherworlds are stronger. The Ancient Jiao People are the weakest among the Sons of Henghai, they ruled for a few thousand years in this period of time. The others, who are called the Sons of Henghai, surpassed them by several thousand years. Itâs just that I donât know if those Sons of Henghai are still aliveâŠâ
Princess Jinrou spoke, and suddenly she realized that her lips were extremely close to Chu Muâs handsome face.
Princess Jinrouâs words stopped as she looked at Chu Mu with somewhat panicked eyes.
For some reason, Princess Jinrouâs brain suddenly echoed a sentence Chu Mu had said before, âYou are the most beautiful person I have ever seenâŠâ
These words made her heart pound like a nervous deer. Originally, she thought Chu Mu was just saying something to comfort her, but now that she remembered it, he had been very serious when he said it, even pausing deliberately during that sentenceâa pause not of hesitation or insincerity, but characteristic of his natureâŠ
The morning light shone down, and Princess Jinrouâs lips trembled gently with alluring luster.
At this moment, she felt she could smell Chu Muâs breath and his unique scent, even though as a ghost, she actually had no sense of smell.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes outlining a beautiful, mesmerizing arc.
As time ticked by, second by second, Princess Jinrouâs heart beat rapidly, filled with anticipation as well as panic and timidity.
However, after a long while, there was still nothing by her lips, just emptiness.
Her emotions gradually calmed down with time, and a flurry of anxious expectation slowly turned to disappointment.
Was he still not daring to take a step toward her? Could a missed opportunity mean missing out for a lifetime?
At this thought, Princess Jinrou felt a surge of sorrow. This guy had clearly said he liked her when he was at the Great Chu Noble Family, so why did he subsequently keep his distance and make her have to approach him?
Thinking of what had happened later, and his demeanor that seemed to have room only for Ye Qingzi in his heart, Princess Jinrouâs sadness turned into tears that slid down from her tightly shut eyes.
âYou said you liked me, but you were with someone else. If you really liked me, why didnât you have the courage to come to me? All I needed was someone who was willing to treat me sincerely. How were you any different from the other liars at that time?â With her eyes closed and tears included, Princess Jinrou uttered the words from the depths of her heart.
Back in World City, she was known for her beauty like that of a Heavenly Immortal, with countless suitors. But among these numerous admirers, who actually loved sincerely? They either coveted her beauty or lacked the courage and determination to pursue her. Her demands were indeed very low.
Just as Chu Mu had been heart-struck at the sight of her on the deck, Princess Jinrou had never seen Chu Mu as a nobody. His steadfast and unyielding dark eyes had made a deep impression on her too. Even after many years, she still remembered.
Feelings are actually quite mysterious; although Princess Jinrou didnât know why she remembered that teenager on the deck with a Moonlight Fox, she indeed rememberedâit was just that back then, it was merely a memoryâŠ
After mustering the courage to say these words, Princess Jinrou suddenly realized how foolish she was to let them out.
Why should she blame him and use the words he spoke in his youth as a bargaining chip for their later emotions? It could only be blamed on the lack of fate that did not allow them to learn more about each other. By the time she realized he was indeed the one meant for her, he already had his true love.
Chu Mu was stunned, not expecting Princess Jinrou to suddenly say such words.
Thinking back to the past, Chu Mu felt that it indeed had been his own hesitancy, always assuming too much.
âYou should open your eyes first,â Chu Mu said to Princess Jinrou.
âNo!â Princess Jinrou said stubbornly. She didnât want to see Chu Muâs pitiable look. She would rather bury her confession and pride, especially since her body was not far from being buried itself.
Chu Mu gave a bitter smile, âLittle Princess, if you donât open your eyes, how will you know whether Iâve run away like a coward again?â
âYou havenâtâŠâ Princess Jinrou felt that Chu Mu didnât kiss her, which meant he had backed away again.
But suddenly, Princess Jinrou realized a serious problem.
Being a ghost, whether Chu Mu kissed her or not, she would not be able to feel it if her eyes were closedâŠ
