The Magus Era

In the heaven, in a magnificent hall with streams of mist coiling around, Gong Gong held his hands behind his body, with his eyes narrowed. He was seriously looking at a hundreds of miles square sandbox in from of him. The sandbox was glowing brightly, as smooth as jade. Colorful light streams had condensed into a detailed topographic map of Midland on it, and every detail on the map was exactly the same as the real thing.

The sandbox was a supreme treasure generated by the great Dao of nature, along with the heaven itself, called Heaven and Earth sandbox. The sandbox included Midland and all four wastelands, and any slight geographic change that happened in Midland or any of the four wastelands would immediately show up on his sandbox. With the Heaven and Earth sandbox, one could clearly see every corner of Midland and the four wastelands.

At the moment, the changes caused by those water-sealing magic formations were clearly visible. Countless meters-wide watery clouds floated above the sandbox, with raindrop-like shadows falling from them. Below those watery clouds were dams built with breathing earth. In each dam, the water level had been rising higher and higher, and so did the body of the dam.

Under the magical power of breathing earth, the endless rain and the sky-devouring flood had both become ineffective.

”Si Xi, Marquis Chong Si Xi, good, I underestimated you.” Gong Gong’s body flashed across the air, transformed into a black stream of light and hovered around the sandbox for a while. He carefully observed those water-sealing magic formations, then transformed back into a human shape, and sighed deeply.

”Shall I make a move to kill Si Xi?” River Earl stood by the door of the hall and asked in a vicious tone.

Remaining silent for a while, Gong Gong shook his hand, sighed and said, ”No, No, you can’t go. Si Xi is not that easy to kill. Killing him requires the right person and the right time. If we are going to kill him, we have to be able to get the most out of his death.”

River Earl didn’t say anything, but his eyes sparkled with a black light, as if he were thinking about when to kill Si Xi and how Gong Gong and his people could get the most out of Si Xi’s death.

Suddenly, the earthworm-like White Dragon River quaked slightly on the map. Bright watery light spread out from the river, while a thin white beam of light rose into the sky from the central area of the river, along with a swishing noise.

”Eh? What is White Dragon River God doing? He’s careful and cautious, always paying attention to his own moral upliftment without the thought of others, and he keeps saying ‘safety is a blessing’. For his cautiousness and carefulness, I conferred him as White Dragon River God, allowing him to run that place for so many years.”

Gong Gong looked at the white beam of light and growled angrily, ”I’ve already told him and the others that the great magic formation they’re responsible for is the most important thing. Those badly organized water-king warriors are taking the advantage of this flood, causing troubles to attract the attention of human beings…But they can’t move! They can’t move!”

River God flashed across the air and teleported himself to the sandbox. He locked his fingers together and pointed at the sandbox. Images shown by the sandbox changed quickly as White Dragon area expanded, and soon occupied the entire sandbox. Then, the central area of the river zoomed larger, occupying half of the sandbox.

Above the giant whirlpool, the eighteen floating mountains showed no change at all. River Earl glanced at Gong Gong in confusion.

”The great magic formation is attacked.” said Gong Gong with a dark face, ”I’ve already merged the core magic talismans of those great magic formations with this Heaven and Earth sandbox. If anything abnormal happens to any of those great formations, this sandbox will immediately show.”

”The great magic formation under the central whirlpool of White Dragon River is attacked by an outer force, and the force is extremely strong!” Gong Gong looked at the hundreds of meters long white light beam dazzling out from the whirlpool, and continued gloomily, ”What is White Dragon River God doing? Did his warriors disobey the order and cause a human attack?”

River Earl pointed at the eighteen floating mountains and said, ”But nothing seems to happen on these floating mountains.”

Gong Gong narrowed his eyes and his face turned even darker, ”That means someone has sneaked into the central whirlpool of White Dragon River, right? Who can it be? Or, someone…”

A cold voice came from the outside, ”Or, your people are unreliable and spilled the beans? Gong Gong, you have to understand. If our plan, that has cost us so much money and so many efforts, is ruined because of the mistake you and your people make, you will suffer badly!”

Dishi Cha walked into the hall with a cold face, slowly, unhurriedly, with the particular style of Yu Clan nobles.

Gong Gong turned around. His dark sulky face abruptly turned bright and warm. As a nice smile emerging on that face, he nodded at Dishi Cha and said, ”Don’t worry, the great magic formations is connected with the entire White Dragon River. Unless someone can destroy the entire White Dragon River area, that is hundreds of millions of miles in radius, that great formation can never be destroyed. Nothing unwanted will happen.”

Gong Gong turned his eyes away from Dishi Sha and fixed on Yemo Tian, who was incredibly handsome, standing behind Dishi Cha.

”May I ask, who this is?”

Yemo Tian had a breathtakingly handsome face. His long black, shining hair hung loosely on his back like a waterfall. The tip of his hair nearly touched the ground. What surprised Gong Gong even more was that Yemo Tian’s pair of eyes seemed to have some terrifying kind of evil power. The pair of pupils of his had been spinning slowly, like two bottomless black holes. Gong Gong did nothing more than make a short eye contact with him, but he already felt like being devoured, and that feeling was not good.

Subconsciously turning his eyes away, Gong Gong smilingly looked at Dishi Cha.

”I am Yemo Tian, the current Emperor in power of Dark Sun. Yemo Luoye, that bloody woman, is my elder sister.” Yemo Shan introduced himself with a careless tone.

He looked at Gong Gong from head to toe and released his strong spirit power, circling around Gong Gong over and over again. Such an impolite move embarrassed Gong Gong quite badly. With a long face, Gong Gong looked at Dishi Cha, silently waiting for his explanation.

”Are you Gong Gong? For this generation?” Yemo Tian laughed, ”To be honest, although I grew up in this damned world, this is the first time for me to see a local God in Pan Gu world. Interesting, very interesting. If I can cut you open…”

A stream of black mist rose from Gong Gong’s head, with crushing black waves roaring in it. A dreadful pressure immediately filled the entire hall like a tsunami.

Yemo Tian was shocked by the great pressure released by Gong Gong, that his face turned pale, while he shut his mouth and swallowed the other half of his speech back up.

”Enough!” Dishi Cha growled deeply, ”Gong Gong, at this point, you are out of choices already. Except for working with me wholeheartedly, you have no chance to regret. Therefore, I brought Lord Yemo Tian over to let you know…”

Dishi Cha narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice and continued, ”To let you know that the powerful man behind me is Lord Yemo Tian’s father. This plan of ours is designed for Lord Yemo Tian. The ultimate purpose of this plan is allowing him to control all resources of Pan Gu world and the surrounding three-thousand worlds.”

Gong Gong and River God both stared at Yemo Tian in shock.

Yemo Tian smiled faintly and carelessly, then conveniently pointed at the white light on the sandbox and said, ”Is something wrong? I’d love to go watch a show.”
