Chapter 2669: Chapter 2643: Who Are You! (Second Update)
Ye Chen hesitated slightly and looked toward Ye Lingtian once again.
At this moment, Ye Lingtian’s entire body was engulfed by a blue flame.
The surrounding atmosphere exuded an ancient and desolate aura.
The extremely high temperature seemed to have dropped.
The entire world appeared to be in a state of solitude.
Ye Lingtian’s entire body twisted, as if ripped apart by an invisible force.
This lasted for a full two hours!
Ye Lingtian lost consciousness!
His hand loosened its grip on the stone tablet.
Strangely, the Blood Seal had vanished!
“Lingtian!” Ye Chen stepped forward, supporting Ye Lingtian.
But in the next moment, he noticed an ancient totem had appeared between Ye Lingtian’s brows.
Not only that, a mysterious force seemed to be surging around Ye Lingtian.
Ye Chen then turned to the Eternal Sacred King: “Elder Yong, what should we do next?”
The Eternal Sacred King took a sip of wine and muttered, “Take him back to the Divine Extreme Sect. For the next few days, don’t worry about it.”
“When he wakes up, he will tell you everything.”
“This is his mission, after all.”
Ye Chen’s heart was filled with questions, but since Elder Yong said so, he couldn’t press further.
He carried Ye Lingtian on his back and headed toward the outskirts.
As he took his tenth step, Ye Chen sensed something and sharply directed his gaze toward a certain direction: “Who’s there!”
Upon hearing his voice, the wine jug in Elder Yong’s hand paused in mid-air!
How is this possible!
Ye Chen had discovered his grandfather’s hiding place!
The gap between the two was immense, how could this be!
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Ye Chen suddenly turned his gaze to the Eternal Sacred King and said coldly, “Elder Yong, it seems you’ve long been aware of his existence?”
“Or perhaps, his presence is related to my Ye family?”
“Since he’s unwilling to meet, I’ll take my leave for now.”
“I believe, one day, we’ll meet face to face.”
After saying this, Ye Chen carried Ye Lingtian and disappeared.
Seconds later, an aged figure appeared beside the Eternal Sacred King.
The Eternal Sacred King hesitated for a moment but eventually said, “Mr. Ye, how could that boy possibly know where you were?”
The old man gazed at Ye Chen’s departing figure and said softly, “The reincarnation bloodline, though not awakened, is still the strongest bloodline in this world.”
The Eternal Sacred King seemed to understand something and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you still planning to go there next?”
The old man nodded and suddenly focused his gaze on the moon hanging in the sky: “Eternal, have you noticed that this moon seems somewhat strange?”
The Eternal Sacred King froze momentarily, his expression peculiar: “It does seem a bit unusual… but it still feels normal.”
The old man scrutinized the moon carefully and continued, “Ye Chen, keep an eye on things for me. I may need to leave for a while.”
“Based on my divinations, the Divine Kingdom will experience a major disturbance in the coming days.”
“It’s likely that some unfathomable entities will begin to awaken…”
The Eternal Sacred King was just about to ask what he meant when he realized the old man had vanished without a trace.
It was as if he had never been there.
…
In the depths of White Valley City, within a dark hall of the Divine Kingdom.
This place bore an eerie resemblance to the hall deep within the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace.
In fact, one might say it was identical!
Even their auras matched perfectly!
It felt as if someone had forcibly transferred the hall here using heaven-defying spells.
A few figures stood before a stone statue, their expressions somber.
“Master, why did we leave the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace? That place was comparatively safe.”
“Such a tremendous cost to relocate everything here… your subordinate finds it hard to understand.”
A deep, resonant voice emanated from within the stone statue: “If the goal is to disrupt order, then actions must be taken on the soil of the Divine Kingdom.”
“Of course, there’s another reason: the demonic dragon imprisoned in the abyss of the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace kept interrupting my rest.”
“Its ghastly and piercing wails sounded as though it had endured the most horrifying torments imaginable…”
“That foolish dragon—chained down yet crying out so noisily—completely sullies the honor it once held.”
“Now, let’s begin the Divine Kingdom’s game.”
The others froze.
“Master, do you truly intend to proceed?”
“Wouldn’t this potentially harm us in the long run?”
The eerie voice inside the statue replied once more: “Heh, since the demon race’s Day of Heavenly Revelation is approaching, the mighty figures of the Divine Kingdom will inevitably awaken. The Divine Kingdom’s World Will—seeking to repel the impending World Destructive calamity—will release its stockpiled origin qi to strengthen the martial artists of the Divine Kingdom and elevate the monstrous talents while offering them rapid opportunities for ascension, wouldn’t it?”
Upon hearing this, the individuals surrounding the statue were shaken!
If this truly came to pass, then the Divine Kingdom was destined for chaotic upheaval!
Still, this wasn’t the most pressing concern on their minds—they were far more interested in their master’s plans for generating chaos.
After all, they were confident that no matter how chaotic the Divine Kingdom became, the being they served would remain preeminent, an existence unparalleled.
“Then, Master, what should we do next?” someone asked.
The voice replied: “Heh heh, what you must do is awaken those ancient experts—just a bit early.”
What!
Everyone was taken aback! Their concealed eyes beneath masks reflected deep confusion and astonishment.
Awaken the ancient experts? Even the weaker of those ancient experts, though dormant or sealed for countless years, were still humans, weren’t they?
If so, wouldn’t they naturally be in opposition to their master?
Not preventing their awakening was one thing…
But why deliberately wake them ahead of time?
The mysterious voice said: “Though they hail from the ancients, strength among them varies. The weaker ones are easier to awaken. Naturally, I’m not suggesting you attempt to rouse the strongest of the ancient experts. With your current abilities, even if they are on the brink of awakening, it would be impossible for you to achieve that. Simply wake some of the weaker ancient ones—those will suffice.”
A figure, whose warped physique clearly did not belong to humanity, spoke in a raspy, grating tone like metal scraping against metal: “Master, your servant still doesn’t fully understand. Even the weaker ones among them… you previously mentioned that these ancient experts are not of the demon race. Awakening them—how does it benefit our plans?”
The voice chuckled softly: “Heh heh, precisely because they are humans, we must awaken them! Have you ever heard this saying: ‘Where humans gather, disputes arise’? Humanity as a race is fascinating. What they love most is conflict. Against other races, they might unite, but amongst themselves, they inevitably compete, don’t they?”
“Furthermore, even the weakest of ancient experts, in this era, would be capable of ruling over the entire Divine Kingdom. If they suddenly woke to find themselves the strongest, what would they do? Would they not seek to conquer everything? And what if several formidable figures emerged simultaneously? Wouldn’t the current factions within the Divine Kingdom be left with no choice but to attach themselves to one of these dominators for survival? Heh heh… With that, can the Divine Kingdom remain stable?”
