Chapter 165 - 156: Mountains High and Roads Unending; Narrow Paths Blocked 2
Hua Cheng said darkly, "No. It's the mortal realm."
It indeed was the mortal realm, because depicted within the painting were crammed houses, dense forests, crowds; yet, they were all submerged in a vast, endless sea of fire and flowing lava.
The houses and trees were ablaze, flames burned on the people's bodies and they were screaming. Those twisted faces were drawn so realistically Xie Lian could almost hear their wails next to his ears.
In the centre of the painting was a vibrantly red mountain like a giant Kiln glowing from the heat, exceedingly horrifying. The fires and lava were all spewed from this mountain.
"The meaning of this mural is... volcanic eruption, the fall of the Kingdom of WuYong?" Xie Lian pondered.
"Yes. And no." Hua Cheng said.
It dawned on Xie Lian, "It certainly wasn't completely right, because this is... a dream."
This portrayal of tragedy at the bottom of the painting should be a depiction of the Crown Prince of WuYong's dream.
The Crown Prince of WuYongAnd the four guardian gods were surrounded by golden light, meaning at this time he had already ascended. He was in the middle of being tormented by a dream, so the content of the dream state had lines and colours that were more 'hollow' in
