Chapter 89: The Deities of the Three Great Ascension Divine Kingdoms are Stronger than Demonic Beasts!
Through the records of the goddess reincarnator of Tianshui, Lin Tianming learned that she was the second goddess reincarnator to survive until the era of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms.
The previous one was Alice, the mechanical goddess of the Northern Yin Domain.
Goddess Huangyan, Wang Yanran, Wind Sword Goddess Feng Lan, and Ice Goddess Ye Qingxue all perished during the Era of the Gods' Descent.
His teacher, Jiang Han, suffered the most, being betrayed and killed in the Land of Calamity, dying the earliest.
What happens during the Era of the Gods' Descent and the arrival of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms?
Unable to comprehend these future major events, Lin Tianming, who had not experienced them, shook his head and focused on Tianshui.
Under Lin Tianming's gaze, Tianshui radiated a gentle water attribute energy.
That gentle water attribute energy quickly gathered into a surging wave, rushing towards the Minghan Bridge.
Smack!
The gigantic wave hit the Minghan Bridge, then dissipated, transforming into an invisible water attribute energy that subsequently enveloped the Minghan Bridge in a bridge-shaped water sphere.
[Rise!]
The moment Lin Tianming heard Tianshui's heartfelt words, the Minghan Bridge was lifted by her even stronger water attribute power and floated in mid-air.
In an instant, the bottomless Ice Abyss resounded with the frantic wails of lost souls.
As if sensing the Minghan Bridge being taken by Tianshui, terrifying lost souls far more powerful than those Lin Tianming had previously faced emerged from the depths of the Ice Abyss, trying to prevent Tianshui from taking the bridge.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Tianming couldn't help but gasp.
"Such powerful lost souls, each one far stronger than all the lost souls I faced when crossing the bridge combined!"
While Lin Tianming marveled at the strength of these lost souls, Tianshui remained calm and determined to claim the Minghan Bridge.
[Water Floods the River!]
A river capable of covering the entire Ice Abyss rapidly formed under Tianshui's power, instantly drowning all the formidable lost souls attempting to emerge from the depths.
"Rest in peace, ancient spirits. Only in my hands can the Minghan Bridge realize its potential. I believe you wouldn't want your descendants, whom you sacrificed everything to protect, to be annihilated by those evil gods in the future."
Under Tianshui's voice, which seemed to purify the soul, the faces of the lost souls submerged in the river softened, showing peaceful expressions as they slowly dissipated.
Though these words were not directed at Lin Tianming, he felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility upon hearing Tianshui's seemingly magical voice.
As the lost souls rested, Tianshui further purified the cold, dark resentment on the Minghan Bridge.
A healing stream continuously flowed from Tianshui's palm into the Minghan Bridge.
In just a moment, the previously ghostly bridge turned into a beautiful water bridge full of water spirit energy.
[Finally succeeded. In my previous life, I failed to purify the ancient spirits' resentment from the Minghan Bridge, and with my inner demons acting up, I ultimately perished while protecting the Water Mirror Academy.]
[With this purified Water Spirit Bridge aiding me in this life, my water element power will undoubtedly surpass that of my previous life!]
Successfully purifying the resentful Minghan Bridge into the Water Spirit Bridge, Tianshui was very pleased.
She turned to Lin Tianming with a smile and said, "Little brother Tianming, did you ever imagine that the Minghan Bridge could be tamed?"
Lin Tianming replied, "Indeed... but even if I knew, with my strength, I certainly couldn't tame it like you, Teacher Tianshui."
"This Minghan Bridge was originally called the Water Spirit Bridge. Let me tell you its origin. In ancient times, a group of human pioneers fought against the evil gods here to save humanity from their ravages. They utilized the Water Spirit Bridge's water spirit power to slay the evil gods.
The power of the evil gods far exceeded the expectations of these human pioneers. Even in death, their remains brutally killed all the participants. The human pioneers' indomitable will turned into lingering spirits here, and the Water Spirit Bridge, under the constant erosion of the ghostly energy, became the Minghan Bridge you just saw."
Unexpectedly, this Water Spirit Bridge had such a history. Lin Tianming, gaining insight, took this opportunity to ask Tianshui for more information.
"So the Water Spirit Bridge has such a history. Teacher Tianshui, the evil gods you mentioned, are they the divine level monsters that only exist in legends?"
Tianshui was momentarily unsure how to respond to his question.
[The divine level monsters sealed in the Demon Tomb cannot compare to the true evil gods. In front of the evil gods, all divine level monsters are merely ants to be crushed at will.]
[Evil gods, and the deities of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms that followed, are beings far more powerful than divine level monsters. Even if I told Little Brother Tianming this, he wouldn't understand.]
Thinking of this, Tianshui shook her head. "I can be sure that evil gods are definitely not divine level monsters, but what exactly the evil gods are, I don't know for now."
Lin Tianming, who could eavesdrop on thoughts, heard everything she just thought clearly.
Tianshui was one of the few goddess reincarnators he had met who survived the Era of the Gods' Descent and lived during the era of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms.
Therefore, Lin Tianming found her inner thoughts quite credible.
Evil gods and the deities of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms could easily crush divine level monsters?
With a vague understanding of the combat power of evil gods and the deities of the three great Ascension Divine Kingdoms, Lin Tianming kept this in mind, preparing for the future.
No longer dwelling on this distant issue, Lin Tianming looked at Tianshui and asked, "Teacher Tianshui, now that you've taken the Water Spirit Bridge, where should we go next?"
Regarding this question, Tianshui did not answer Lin Tianming immediately but fell into brief contemplation.
[I came to this Ice Snow Secret Realm just for the Water Spirit Bridge. The remaining opportunities are optional and not very helpful to me.]
[Should I leave? Or help him find that lost girl of his?]
Lin Tianming also heard Tianshui's inner voice expressing a desire to leave.
If she really wanted to leave, Lin Tianming would not stop her and would even see her off.
Although she had no intention of killing him now, no one could guarantee that after spending more time together, she wouldn't decide to kill him if provoked too much.
If she chose to stay and help him explore the Ice Snow Secret Realm, Lin Tianming would also accept it.
With such a powerful awakened being assisting him, his journey would be much smoother.
Thus, no matter what Tianshui decided, Lin Tianming would respect her choice.
[I'll help him find that girl. Consider it cutting off the karma of our past life. After this, we will have no further connections.]
In the end, Tianshui decided to accompany Lin Tianming to explore the Ice Snow Secret Realm.
She asked Lin Tianming, "Little brother Tianming, are you trying to find that lost girl of yours?"
Knowing she would accompany him, Lin Tianming nodded. "Yes."
"Then I'll accompany you. I also want to explore the Ice Snow Secret Realm. Let's consider it on the way."
