Stellar Transformation-Chapter 588: Episode 16 - 49 Anomalies of Heaven and Earth
Today, the third Chapter!
——————
The mansion made entirely of mirrors had automatically opened as soon as Duanmu Yu arrived. This caused Qin Yu, Duanmu Yu, Zhou Xian, and the others to fall silent.
Bizarre!
The mansion had not opened for many years, so why did it open automatically now? It was so clever that it became eerie. The eeriness was such that all the people present, though they saw the passage through the mansion, hesitated to enter for the moment.
"Brother Qin Yu, what’s going on with this mansion? I had just arrived, and it opened up?" Duanmu Yu was also unfamiliar with the situation.
Qin Yu frowned and said, "Before you came, this mansion couldn’t be opened no matter what. Zhou Xian arrived before I did, yet as soon as Brother Duanmu you arrived, the door automatically opened."
"Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a mansion, isn’t it?" Zhou Xian suddenly let out a low shout and boldly walked towards the passage of the Mirror Mansion.
Duanmu Yu chuckled lightly, "Zhou Xian is fearless, indeed... he possesses a Space Divine Artifact, so if there’s danger, he can hide in it and wait quietly for his imperial father to rescue him—certainly very safe."
"As long as it’s not the Divine King personally making a move, there should be no danger." Duanmu Yu looked at Qin Yu, "Brother Qin Yu, shall we go in?"
Qin Yu pondered deeply.
Qin Yu was very clear that behind this Mirror Mansion was a Divine King lying in wait. Otherwise... why would ’Yi Feng’ always be observing with his Divine Sense?
Duanmu Yu, Zhou Xian, and the others might not notice it, but Qin Yu was acutely aware.
"However, for the sake of the Illusion Spirit Mirror." Qin Yu’s eyebrows knitted together, and to seize the second spot, he could not care too much about the risk.
"Even if it’s the Divine King, within the area covered by my Space Power, they would not even dream of harming my brothers." Qin Yu was very confident in his Space Power.
Qin Yu gave Duanmu Yu a slight smile, "Alright, let’s go in."
"We can’t let Zhou Xian get ahead of us." Duanmu Yu said with a smile and, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he bolted into the Mirror Mansion like lightning.
Qin Yu and his two brothers likewise swiftly darted into the Mirror Mansion.
But just as Qin Yu and his brothers had barely entered the mansion, they heard a "rumbling" sound once more, and the door began to close.
Qin Yu and his brothers couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, while Duanmu Yu and the others also looked back.
"Things are getting more interesting. What exactly does Yi Feng want to do?" Qin Yu wondered to himself.
"Big Brother, the situation doesn’t look good," Hei Yu said in a low voice.
Qin Yu immediately transmitted a message, "Little Black, Feifei, don’t worry. Both of you stay close to me; if there’s any danger, I’ll send you directly into the New Universe."
Hou Fei and Hei Yu both nodded.
"Let’s go," Qin Yu then continued to move forward.
This Undersea Mansion, looked like it was made of mirrors from the outside, but from the inside, the walls and such were pitch-black. At some places along the passage, there were pearls emitting a faint green glow.
The three brothers, Qin Yu, moved swiftly, rapidly traversing through the mansion.
Soon, they arrived at the largest rear hall. This hall was very spacious, but the layout was extremely disordered.
Mirrors!
Countless mirrors!
In the vast rear hall, countless mirrors were scattered randomly on the ground. Some were only the size of a palm, while others stood dozens of meters tall. With the sheer number of mirrors exceeding ten thousand, the display was overwhelming.
So many mirrors had left many people in the rear hall dumbstruck.
"With so many mirrors, which one is the Illusion Spirit Mirror?" Hou Fei muttered.
The question that Hou Fei muttered was also troubling Duanmu Yu, Zhou Xian, and others. They were carefully examining each mirror, but knowing too little about the Illusion Spirit Mirror, they had no idea how to differentiate them.
Qin Yu, however, stood motionless in the center of the rear hall.
"There are a total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine mirrors here, each mirror almost identical, none different from the others," Qin Yu easily determined under the observation of his Space Power.
What Qin Yu needed was a difference.
The real Illusion Spirit Mirror must be different from the others, but Qin Yu’s Space Power also couldn’t detect it.
The entire mansion was not very large, and areas such as the front hall were relatively small. Qin Yu’s Space Power had also observed those places, which had no mirrors at all.
Only the rear hall had a large number of mirrors.
"The number of mirrors here is also very special, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. What does this number represent?" Qin Yu pondered.
With Space Power, Qin Yu didn’t need to search laboriously as Zhou Xian, Duanmu Yu, and others did.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu were carefully examining mirror after mirror, aiding Qin Yu. Hei Yu turned his head to look at Qin Yu and transmitted his voice, "Big Brother, how do we distinguish these mirrors? They don’t seem to have any differences."
Suddenly—
"Little Shuang!"
A shout came from a distance. Qin Yu’s Space Power immediately detected, "What happened to Duanmu Yu? He seems to be affected."
"Feifei, Little Black, don’t move around by my side," Qin Yu sensed something ominous.
"Divine Sense, Soul Power?" Qin Yu suddenly discovered the mystery. At this moment, Divine Sense ripples were infiltrating Duanmu Yu’s mind from various directions.
"Those Divine Sense ripples are very weak, not even as strong as a Lower Heavenly God’s Divine Sense, definitely not enough to attack a person. But why is Duanmu Yu standing there motionless? Could it be because of the Illusion Spirit Mirror?" Qin Yu knew that the Illusion Spirit Mirror could probe one’s spirit and even cause happiness or pain.
"Could it be that the Illusion Spirit Mirror is beside Duanmu Yu?" Qin Yu immediately observed closely with his Space Power.
But at that moment—
Qin Yu felt that the ripples of Divine Sense suddenly covered the entire rear hall. The same Divine Sense ripples that had entered Duanmu Yu’s mind.
"Feifei, Little Black, be careful," Qin Yu cautioned.
Qin Yu was not too worried. The intensity of such Divine Sense ripples, even unguarded, the strength of an Upper Heavenly God’s Soul Nascent Soul alone, would not be harmed by this kind of Divine Sense.
That Divine Sense ripples, in an instant, covered the entire rear hall.
Likewise, many Divine Sense ripples infiltrated Qin Yu’s mind.
******
Qin Yu felt the entire scene he was seeing suddenly change. The original rear hall disappeared, and what appeared before Qin Yu was the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace.
Above the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, thirteen Divine Kings were gathered.
"Such a real scene, is this an Illusion Realm?" Qin Yu himself felt an inability to discern, and as an Array Master, Qin Yu was unable to judge at this moment.
Everything was so real.
However, Qin Yu’s soul was still connected to the ’New Universe.’ Naturally, it was still connected to that Space Power, and Qin Yu knew in his heart... if only he wished, he could instantly break free from this state and return to normal.
"Break free?"
Qin Yu felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart.
"Gentlemen." The Northern Pole Saint Emperor, Jiang Fan, stood above in the great hall, the Jiang Fan before his eyes, whether it was his aura or his smile, all felt so real.
"Now that the three spots have already been determined, Qin Yu has successively secured all three spots, meaning... without a doubt, Qin Yu has become my son-in-law, Li’er’s husband!"
Listening to the announcement of the Northern Pole Saint Emperor Jiang Fan from above, Qin Yu felt overwhelmed with emotions.
...
Everything felt incredibly real, followed by the congratulations from everyone, and Zhou Xian’s furious departure.
In the mansion personally refined by Qin Yu, Qin Yu and Li’er held a grand wedding ceremony. A multitude of people gathered, everyone celebrated, and Qin Yu was excited to drink with the crowd.
How long has it been?
Wasn’t everything for today?
...
The wedding night.
"Li’er." He lifted the veil, and their gazes solidified into each other’s.
"Big Brother Qin Yu." Li’er’s eyes brimmed with tears, which twinkled with happiness.
Deep down, Qin Yu knew all this wasn’t real. But... Qin Yu thoroughly enjoyed this scenario, he didn’t want to break such a moment.
In such a state, time seemed to fly by very quickly.
The joyful days with Li’er lasted a long, long time, and eventually, they also had their own child, a boy.
"Brother Yu." Li’er lay in bed, face radiant with maternal glow, holding an infant in her arms, "What shall we name our child? You choose a name."
"We were separated for so long, missing each other all the time... Well, let’s name the child Qin Si." Qin Yu affectionately looked at Li’er and the adorable infant.
At that moment...
Qin Yu’s heart was filled with endless tenderness and concern.
Suddenly—
The scenario dissolved abruptly, and when it reformed, the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace appeared once again.
"Gentlemen, of the three spots, two are bestowed upon Qin Yu and one upon Zhou Xian. After my wife and I have made our final deliberation, we have decided that Zhou Xian shall become our son-in-law, Li’er’s husband."
Qin Yu was very calm.
Because Qin Yu knew this scene was fake, yet there was a feeling of pain in his heart.
"Illusion Spirit Mirror, truly wondrous and unrivaled. Even though I know it’s not real, seeing such a scenario still evokes a feeling of anger," Qin Yu lamented in his heart.
The matter was quite simple.
Oneself, even if one knew a particular scenario was fake. But when the scenario was indistinguishable from reality, and oneself couldn’t even detect it, whatever happened would still cause one’s heart to tremble.
"Zhou Xian wants to marry Li’er, marry her? No, I will never let this happen, I simply cannot allow it!" Watching the events unfold, Qin Yu was seized with a kind of ’world-destructive’ frenzy, desiring to kill all who obstructed him.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort from Qin Yu, the power of the Soul Nascent Soul surged, and suddenly the entire scene before his eyes collapsed.
...
The scene returned to the rear hall of the Undersea Mansion. Qin Yu clearly saw Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the others were all trapped in that peculiar state.
"Was that still the Illusion Realm?" Qin Yu marveled in his heart.
"All of this, only that peculiar ’Illusion Spirit Mirror’ could achieve. Indeed, it has no attack power, but if one wishes, one can instantly break free from that state. However... it could also allow one to indulge in unattained goals and ideals," Qin Yu sighed to himself.
To reach the level of Upper Heavenly Gods, ordinary illusions could hardly affect them.
Yet the ’Illusion Spirit Mirror’ was able to let them experience the happiest or the most painful events. And that feeling was very real, originating from the soul!
"Caught in the influence of the Illusion Spirit Mirror, it felt very long, but in reality, only a short time has passed," Qin Yu estimated in his heart.
"Whoosh!" Hei Yu also opened his eyes.
"Big Brother, what just happened? It was so real!" Hei Yu’s face was also filled with astonishment, "Brother, do you know? Just now, I actually saw my father and mother; I only see my parents in dreams, but just now, I was with my father and mother so vividly." Hei Yu’s eyes were slightly moist.
Qin Yu comfortingly patted Hei Yu’s shoulder.
"It was just some tragic scenes, I simply couldn’t bear it, so I left that state," Hei Yu sighed.
"I feel the same way; I couldn’t bear it even more than you." Qin Yu said with a smile.
In the following time, Hou Fei, Zhou Xian, and others slowly regained consciousness one after another. But as more and more people woke up, everyone was astonished.
"How come Duanmu Yu has not woken up yet?" Hou Fei exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Yu also shook his head.
"Duanmu Yu talked to me about his love before, but I think, what he told me was just the tip of the iceberg, the real situation is probably more complex than I thought. Right now, he’s deeply mired in it," Qin Yu murmured with a sigh.
Suddenly Qin Yu’s expression changed.
The Undersea Mansion was not large, Qin Yu’s Space Power not only covered the entire mansion but also permeated outward, monitoring the underwater scenery as well.
But at this moment—
A giant whirlpool formed at the center of the Undersea Mansion, while the entire sea area around the Nanye Islands churned violently.
The Heavenly Gods of those hundreds of islands were setting up Restrictions to resist the roaring ocean.
"Thundering~~~" Thunder and lightning wildly flashed across the sky.
Meanwhile, clouds of various colors gathered overhead, a total of seven, as the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud continued to amass, and lightning swam like serpents within them.
Qin Yu’s Space Power could only witness the drastic changes underwater and was unable to observe the changes in the sky.
Inside the Undersea Mansion, Qin Yu and the others felt it trembling.
"Whoosh!" Quite abruptly, the entire Undersea Mansion vanished, Qin Yu and the group saw with their own eyes... that vast Mirror Mansion flew up, rapidly shrinking, and in a moment, it turned into a palm-sized mirror, falling into someone’s hands.
This person was Yi Feng.
And Yi Feng’s gaze was fixed on Duanmu Yu.
