Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1225 - 1103: Return!

He will return!

These were the words of Lin Ke’er, carrying an undeniable determination.

Everyone in the Lin Mansion was silent, as they all knew who she referred to—the Combat Saint King!

Decades ago, he was the peerless Heavenly Pride who shook the entire Ancient God Continent, young yet incomparably powerful, sweeping away Saints, meeting the Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings one after another, and even entering the true Ancient Divine Palace. It was rumored that he even fought the Heavenly Kings without defeat, holding the position of a generation’s Elder Xuan, comparable to the Heavenly Kings.

No one could deny the extraordinary brilliance of the Combat Saint King.

However, the Chaos Sea is perilous beyond measure. Throughout history, countless exceptionally talented individuals have ventured into it, but only that one Ancient Great Power from the Ancient Divine Palace succeeded in returning.

Of course, now there are also the mighty warriors of the Tianxu Dynasty, though it is unclear if they have reached the other side of the Chaos Sea.

There were even rumors that after entering the Chaos Sea, the Combat Saint King offended the Ancient Divine Palace, resulting in a complete falling out and being hunted by the Ancient Divine Palace, leaving no news of him. The likely outcome seemed to be grave misfortune.

Though they all had to acknowledge that the Combat Saint King was indeed a peerless Heavenly Pride who amazed the ages, they doubted he could escape the pursuit of the Ancient Divine Palace’s formidable Heavenly Kings and Elders, and even if he returned alive, they didn’t believe he could withstand the Ancient Divine Palace alone.

Because within that leviathan, there resided a true Ancient Great Power who had never perished and was still alive in this era.

Who in this world could truly rival an Ancient Great Power?

Yet Lin Ke’er’s eyes always remained steadfast, saying: "I believe he is still alive, and even stronger now; he will not die."

This belief came from the deepest part of her heart, unshakable.

"Alright, this time I will follow your lead, Ke’er, and help the royal family fight back," Lin Tian decisively said after a moment of silence, making a significant decision that would affect the entire family’s fate.

"Family Head, you mustn’t."

"Absolutely not!"

As expected, almost everyone in the family opposed it because it was too risky. Moreover, the enemy was none other than the Ancient Divine Palace, the strongest entity on the entire Ancient God Continent. The opponent’s might was such that sending just one person could almost annihilate the entire Lin Family hundreds of times over.

However, Lin Tian ignored all opposition and resolutely soared into the sky, because Lin Ke’er had told him something: "Father, it’s easy to add flowers to a tapestry, but hard to provide help in dire need. At this moment, the Emperor Dynasty royal family needs help the most. If our Lin Family steps forward, we may face an extremely dangerous situation, but it could also bring enormous benefits, allowing the entire family to advance, truly becoming a prominent family in the entire Emperor Dynasty, becoming an Immortal Family, and establishing a sufficiently close relationship with the royal family."

"If we stand with the Ancient Divine Palace, we may be safe for a short time, but the Ancient Divine Palace wouldn’t give it much thought. Should he actually return, we would suffer a powerful retaliation, even if the Lin Mansion didn’t perish, it would wither away completely, leaving only a thin bloodline."

"Fortune favors the bold, so why not take the risk for that slim chance to make the Lin Mansion eternally prosperous?"

For this reason, Lin Tian chose to take the gamble, seeking fortune amid danger.

The Lin Mansion had been dormant for too long, and it was difficult to regain its former glory. Now, if this opportunity succeeded, it could elevate the Lin Mansion beyond its past, standing proudly atop the Empire.

Boom—

Lin Tian soared to the Heavenly Dome, though decades had passed, he was still of Ancient Saint Cultivation, yet he proactively joined the Emperor Dynasty camp, capturing some attention from the mighty forces of the Imperial City with his sonorous voice resounding throughout Tianxu Imperial City: "I, Lin Tian, can confirm here that they are the true Tianxu Royal Family, and am willing to take responsibility for my words. I hereby declare that the Lin Mansion is willing to assist the royal family in counterattacking and reclaiming the Emperor Dynasty’s power!"

Such an assertion caused a stir throughout the Imperial City.

"Insane, Lin Tian actually dares to stand up at this time. Aren’t they afraid that the Ancient Divine Palace will obliterate the Lin Family?"

"Is Lin Tian truly insane? Coming out at this time, does he think the Tianxu Royal Family will certainly win, exploiting opportunity and providing help in dire need? Aren’t they worried that a furious Ancient Divine Palace will destroy the Lin Family?"

Many forces in the Imperial City were astonished by Lin Tian’s boldness, daring to stand up at this time and take a stand opposite the Ancient Divine Palace; it was downright madness.

To the world, it seemed like a death wish by an old star hanging itself—it begged for death!

In the scope of the Imperial City, the Lin Family was considered a first-class family, but compared to the Ancient Divine Palace, it was utterly weak. Unflatteringly, a single finger would be sufficient to crush the entire Lin Family hundreds of times. Were they really not afraid of dying?

In the palace, a strong figure from the Ancient Divine Palace instantly wore a cold expression, saying: "What a Lin Mansion. Once these people are exterminated, the next will be the Lin Mansion, to wipe them out entirely, none left!"

The people of the Lin Mansion each turned pale, inwardly cursing the stupidity of Lin Tian and Lin Ke’er as father and daughter, but at this moment, they had no choice but to act, because it was a path of no return.

Crown Prince Tianxu approached Lin Tian with a solemn expression and said: "General Lin, thank you for your righteousness in stepping forward. In the future, you will feel honored for everything today."

Lin Tian nodded, yet there was not much joy, for the situation was severe, and success was uncertain, it was merely a gamble of luck.

Crown Prince Tianxu smiled faintly: "General Lin, I know what you’re worried about, but there’s no need to worry, everything will be fine as long as his highness is here, fearless of anything."
