NOVEL NEXT Chapter 509: Old Acquaintances, Old Self
Lin Yan fell silent.
Demon Domain!
His original intention was to attack the Demon Domain, but after hearing Li Chengdao's words, he hesitated.
Because he did not believe in fate.
He knew that during the Deceit Night era, with the resurrection of Immortal Gods, the Human Clan was ultimately insignificant!
That was the so-called fate!
Fate, when dissected, means a person bowing down!
He was unwilling to bow his head.
He also refused to acknowledge that everything he had worked for, all the efforts and the relentless resistance of the Human Clan's ancestors, had been merely the choices dictated by destiny leading to this era.
So he hesitated, pondering whether he should ascend to become the Human Martial Saint before sweeping the Demon Domain.
Yet he never anticipated that the legendary Rejuvenation Pool was in the Demon Domain.
"Mr. Li, have you known about this all along?"
Lin Yan whispered softly, looking outside.
Li Chengdao stood outside the room, appearing quite respectful, and said softly, "I don't know the exact location of the 'Rejuvenation Pool'."
"It's only that an elder once told me, when a soul is about to die, entering the Rejuvenation Pool can bring life!"
"Having perfected the mediation of creation, one day, with boundless mysteries, one can be reborn."
"Combining the two, I concluded that this aligns perfectly with the situation of the Alliance Hierarch at this moment."
Saying this, Li Chengdao further added, "As for the Demon Domain, I merely trust the records on the frescoes!"
He paused for a moment and said, "In truth, everything ultimately boils down to one's own choice."
One's own choice!
The Saint Master can still choose to disregard the path laid out by the frescoes, refuse to submit to fate, and decide not to attack the Demon Domain.
But Lin Yan was silent for a moment and said, "For the sake of a little dissatisfaction in my heart, allowing this contemporary leader, who has rendered immense service to the Human Clan, to vanish... I cannot do that!"
After a pause, Lin Yan spoke, "Mobilize the troops!"
——
The East Sea perimeter is basically stabilized.
The corpse of the Profound Ice Chi Dragon King and the giant whale breaking the Nine Heavens have been dismantled and scattered along the Sea Domain perimeter.
Heavenly Destiny City has already mobilized nearby troops to assist in defense.
As for Prince Zhen Nan's Royal City, troops and generals have been prepared for some time.
Once the situation stabilizes, powerful entities from the Upper Heaven will gather at Prince Zhen Nan's Royal City, awaiting to attack the Demon Domain!
Lin Yan plans to lead a group of elite soldiers, along with Dan Dao experts from Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, aboard a Tribulation Treasure Ship, crossing the Demon Domain to return to Taixuan Divine Mountain.
When the time comes, they will join forces with the Taixuan Garrison for a collective assault.
A pincer attack from north and south to annihilate the Demon Domain!
From then on, the South Mountain Sacred Land will rejoin the Holy Alliance, no longer being an isolated boundary, and no longer needing to rely on the foundation of a single sacred land to resist the endless evil.
——
South Mountain Sacred Land, High Willow City.
"…"
Lord Lu gazed at the gray-haired man in front of him, his expression profoundly complex.
This was his disciple, Lu Changsheng, the Great Temple Priest of Wutong Temple in present-day Qifeng Prefecture City.
In a short time, he turned gray-haired, with depleted Qi-Blood and an aura of desolation.
"Are you still exhausting yourself over that prophecy from back then?"
"You know, sir?" Lu Changsheng raised his head, showing a complex expression.
"When I went to Taixuan Divine Mountain, your situation was not right." Lord Lu said, "Since I already knew it was wrong, finding out the reason is naturally not difficult."
"I made that prophecy back then while this disciple was still alive." Lu Changsheng said bitterly, "And now the one-year mark is approaching."
"If I had known about it a year ago, perhaps I would have worried like you." Lord Lu said blandly, "Not long ago, messages came from the Taixuan Divine Mountain, from Holy Alliance Commander Xiao Li, and from the Spirit Duke's Blessed Land..."
"Oh?" Lu Changsheng said softly, "Is it related to that prophecy?"
"The Saint Master has subdued the Hundred Saints Alliance and claimed the legendary Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm…" Lord Lu announced, "That is the legendary inheritance of the Human Emperor! And recently, the Master of the Holy Alliance encountered danger overseas; the Saint Master wielded the Supreme Treasure of Upper Heaven to aid, slaying two entities breaking the Nine Heavens, one breaking the Ultimate Heaven, and detained another breaking the Ultimate Heaven, the Thunder Demon!"
"Breaking the Ultimate Heaven?" Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, showing confusion.
"That surpasses the pinnacle level of mortal life, nearing the existence of a god." Lord Lu stroked his beard slightly, saying: "So, had I learned of this prophecy a year ago, I would have worried greatly. But now, the Saint Master has grown to become the strongest person ever on this land!"
"Yet, throughout history, there have been more than one Great Fate Teller." Lu Changsheng said, "Divine Spirits can still perish..."
"But since the Saint Master has reached this level, he can no longer be someone assessed by you or me." Lord Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Either you miscalculated, or the Saint Master has other means."
"…" Lu Changsheng fell silent.
"Assassinating such an entity is certainly not something plotted overnight."
Lord Lu said, "The one-year period is approaching fast, and even if there are various secret plots, they cannot be fully actualized within this time."
Lu Changsheng's expression was decidedly complex, evidently revealing that the "nightmare" tangled in his heart throughout this period isn't something resolved in mere words.
"Take a good rest."
Lord Lu sighed, extending his hand slightly.
A beam of mana fell upon Lu Changsheng.
"Calm and clear-minded!"
Following Lord Lu's words.
The mana had penetrated Lu Changsheng's body.
Lord Lu, with his hands behind, said: "I'll go ask for Wutong Divine Mother's edict, to temporarily take on your role as Great Temple Priest and deploy the Divine Temple Guards to Taixuan Divine Mountain."
——
Lin Yan's decision to attack the Demon Domain has already been conveyed to South Mountain Sacred Land through Liu Zun.
Currently, within the Sacred Land, across the Three Prefectures, and in the various cities, Blessed Lands, large-scale Pure Lands, troops are being deployed.
