Silence!
The entire world suddenly fell silent, with only the rumbling of drums that had sounded for thirty million years, having become part of the background, so much so that without it, things seemed out of place.
Beyond the drumbeats, there was only the bewildered panting, growing heavier and heavier...
The rain began to fall.
A torrential downpour!
As if even heaven and earth were weeping.
Washing over the living, washing over the dead, washing over the blood-red Di Mountain, but no matter how it washed, the red of Di Mountain could not be removed.
The heavy rain fell, drenching the multitude of turtles, drenching the turtle shells, and after who knew how long, one turtle tilted its head upward and let out a long chant, followed by a second and a third...
The turtle chant echoed throughout the entire space, distant, and ethereal...
"Homeward!" Mingzu's aged voice resonated in all directions.
"Di Mountain, rise!"
"Homeward!"
