?!??!??!??!??!??!
Watching the black-haired man who shalessly declared his love for "Soft Rice" while holding his daughter, Fu's mind buzzed intensely, experiencing a shock countless tis more violent than when she first regained her mory!
However, before the furious mother-in-law could react to her precious cabbage being embraced forcefully by a shaless wild boar, the terrifying scene behind the black-haired man made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave!
"No! No! No!"
After shouting in horror and despair three tis, Fu, linked as [Bone], [Flesh], [Blood], and [Heart], couldn't help but suddenly open her eyes and, ignoring her heart that felt like it was about to crack with pain, scread out a warning:
"Go back! We must go back!"
Go back? Go back where?
Upon hearing Fu's scream, the Earthborn clansn who had just recovered from the intense heartache couldn't help but look at each other in confusion, while the black-haired woman reached out to support her fallen daughter, asking with full bewildernt:
"Fu? What do you an? Where should we go?"
"To the Stone Marrow World! Go back quickly! Hurry!!!"
Recalling the devastating and terrifying future she saw, Fu, trembling all over, grabbed her mother's arm, putting her entire weight on it, and shouted in shock:
"I saw destruction ahead! We can't go further! We absolutely can't go further! Not another step! Go back quickly!"
"..."
"Move! Go quickly! If we don't go back now, it will be too late!!!"
"..."
"Why aren't you..."
"We've been trapped for a whole ten years!"
The tall and thin elder, who almost killed Leon, hesitated and said:
"To fulfill your last prophecy, all our clansn endured hardship in the Stone Marrow World, leading to our escape today, but now we've just co out, and you're telling everyone to quickly go back. Isn't this a bit..."
"It's different this ti! It's different this ti!"
Thinking back to the terrifying scene she saw, Fu couldn't help but shout through gritted teeth:
"If we go forward, this ti it will really be over! Didn't we all just see that together?"
"This isn't what we saw, it's what 'you' saw."
Emphasizing the word "you," the short and stout Earth Clan Leader frowned tightly, with a slight hint of disdain in his eyes, questioning:
"Fu, do you still see yourself as one of the Earthborn clans?"
"Huh???"
"You now look exactly like a full-fledged human."
Looking at Fu, who seed completely human, the Earth Clan Leader, nad for [Blood], spoke disdainfully:
"Though you are a creation of [Flesh], born from her and the Witch Kingdom's [Heart], splitting from herself, with the blood of our Great Court Ten Clans flowing in your veins.
But even though the blood ties us, you've only been with us for less than three years, while you've lived among humans for over thirty years, which is ten tis longer than your ti with us."
In Fu's stunned and confused gaze, the short and stout Earth Clan Leader said with eyes full of suspicion:
"You're the only one who can use [Heart] to see the future, and you've even rejected the Earth's gift, unable to grow the Grace Scales... So did you really see the so-called destruction?"
"No... You have to believe !"
Noticing the doubtful and distant looks from the clansn, Fu, feeling cold all over, couldn't help but clench her fists, then quickly turned to look at the silent black-haired woman, pleading with panic-filled eyes:
"Mother! Mother, you know ! You know I wouldn't lie to you!"
"I... I believe you."
Nodding hesitantly, looking at the clansn around with eyes full of resistance, the black-haired woman said helplessly:
"But we've just struggled to get out of the Stone Marrow World, and if we go back now, and the Clean-up Bureau seals us off again, wouldn't we be..."
"But that's already the best future!"
Seeing the current situation seemingly rushing towards the terrible future she saw, Fu couldn't help but desperately persuade:
"We can coexist with the Clean-up Bureau, with humans! The Sea Three Clans and the Three Feathered Tribes have already achieved that, haven't they?
Mother! As long as we voluntarily return to the Stone Marrow World, and don't disturb the Earth's core anymore, the Clean-up Bureau and humans will realize that our attitude has changed! Their attitude will change too..."
"Fu, is it the Clean-up Bureau's attitude that needs to change, or your attitude towards humans?"
"I... believe ! I'm really not lying! Everyone must go back imdiately! Only by voluntarily returning to the Stone Marrow World now is our only way to survive!"
"..."
"Mother!!!"
Looking at her silently watching mother and the distant-eyed clansn around her, Fu felt a rush of dizziness as her body chilled, barely held up by the black-haired woman avoiding her fall.
After catching her, the black-haired woman, nad for [Flesh], said with an apologetic glance:
"Fu, we... It's not that they don't believe you, and perhaps the future you speak of could be a good outco.
It's just that after enduring so long in the Stone Marrow World, they have finally found a chance to co out again, and they really don't want to pin the whole clan's fate on the rcy of the Clean-up Bureau and humans, so... sorry."
"?!!!"
In Fu's eyes of despair, the black-haired woman waved her hand to form a stone chair, placing her with a heartbeat like drums and soft body onto the chair, lovingly stroking her bloodless lips before speaking resolutely:
"The three of us standing on the earth makes us immortal, so no matter what's above, as long as the three of us clan leaders are here, we can hold out until everyone else gets out safely, even if the directors of the Clean-up Bureau attack together, we can forcefully carve out a path for our people!"
But what's waiting for you up there is sothing much scarier than the directors of the Clean-up Bureau!!!
Seeing her mother getting up and walking towards the direction of the other two Earth Clan Leaders, Fu, filled with anxiety, was about to persuade again but found her lips suddenly sealed by a smooth scale, cutting off her ability to speak.
"Let's go!"
Nodding apologetically at Fu, the black-haired woman raised her hands towards the do above the Earth's core, which was full of thick crevices, and swung her palms to the sides.
Like Moses parting the sea, the hard do above the Earth's core, studded with stalactites, split painfully yet joyfully to the sides, retreating to reveal a massive passage almost a thousand ters long.
What Fu saw with great terror and what confused the other Earthborn clansn was the black-haired man, who had just fled hastily, appearing at the end of the passage holding a blue-haired girl blushing, looking down at them with surprise.
"Hmm? Just in ti!"
Narrowing his eyes, the Earth Three Clan Leader read the words muttered by the black-haired man's trembling lips.
But before the Earth Three Clan Leader could understand what the phrase "just in ti" ant, a massive snow-covered mountain suddenly appeared above, like a cork brutally shoved into a thermos, crashing down towards them with a roar!
