I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1318 - 691: The Year-Ruling Grand Duke of Tai Sui
In the past two days.
Lin Yan followed this group of people.
Shi Wen was quite wary of him, but without evidence, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
The main thing was that Lin Yan displayed Refining Essence Realm cultivation, and handled things with ease, seemingly hiding his true abilities.
While Shi Wen was at the Peak of Refining Essence Realm, his Qi-Blood had declined, and his combat power had long weakened.
During these two days, Lin Yan knew he couldn't get anything out of the old fox Shi Wen and dared not reveal his identity as the Human Race Saint Master.
So he repeatedly inquired the girl.
This girl, in front of Shi Wen, was sharp-tongued, appearing fearless, but in front of the stranger Lin Yan, acted tense and shy, her cheeks occasionally turning red with embarrassment.
"Since she was born, she has been wandering the world, few of her peers have survived, and she has rarely seen outsiders."
Shi Wen's expression changed, thinking to himself: "This Young Master Ling, with Refining Essence Realm at its peak, looks extremely young, no wonder the young lady's heart is awakened…"
His feelings were quite complex.
Firstly, this Young Master Ling's origins were mysterious, shrouded in enigmas, perhaps not from the aristocratic families of the past Heavenly Destiny City.
Secondly, thinking that if the young girl followed a person of Refining Essence Realm, she might survive in the future.
So, during these two days, he turned a blind eye.
Lin Yan, aware of the girl's odd behavior, feared misleading her, so stopped asking her questions and instead spoke frequently with another middle-aged Martial Artist.
Over the past few days, Lin Yan learned quite a few clues.
Back then, when the Northern Territory cities were destroyed, many refugees were accepted by the Holy Alliance.
But before they could be resettled, the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow battle began, and the main forces of the Human Clan were moved entirely southward.
The northern Human Clan boundary was ravaged by Evil Gods and demons.
After the Human Race Saint Master opened up the Heavenly Road, the world experienced brief stability.
But the Human Clan did not establish the rightful third Human Clan dynasty, nor the existence of the third Human Emperor.
That brief stability transformed once again into chaos.
These people, during the chaotic Deceit Night, died batch after batch to survive to this day.
"Wasn't there anyone to lead you south?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.
"What?" The middle-aged Martial Artist was taken aback.
"When Heavenly Destiny City fell, there were arrangements made by the Southern Holy Land to guide us." Lin Yan coughed and then said.
"Perhaps we were too remote." The middle-aged Martial Artist mumbled.
"There once was."
Shi Wen suddenly spoke, saying: "We initially received orders to gradually migrate south, but encountered attacks from Evil Gods along the way, and the Divine Servants of Tribulation Ash killed those sent to guide us… ultimately, we dispersed."
He took a deep breath, saying: "This world is vast, and as All Gods awaken and demons cause chaos, losing those who could guide us leaves us as wandering souls in this world."
"The Human Clan didn't abandon us, we just missed our chance to return home."
As Shi Wen spoke.
The girl suddenly opened her mouth angrily: "All these years, no one has come to lead us again, isn't this abandonment? Grandpa Shi, you always talk about the homeland, who cares about our lives and deaths?"
"This world is too vast."
Shi Wen was silent for a moment, then said: "The Human Clan is like dust and sand in the world, look at that sand dune ahead… if you exert all your strength to move it, can you avoid leaving some sand behind? They've done their best, it's just that we were unfortunate!"
He looked at those around him, whispering: "None of you have met the Saint Master, nor truly witnessed his brilliance."
"Back then, he was full of ambition and concerned for all beings, breaking the shackles of the Human Clan."
"He made the Human Clan aware that demons are not terrifying, nor are Immortal Gods unbeatable."
"He let more people know that the Human Clan was born to stand tall, not be blood food."
"He developed a new technique, shaking all sides."
"He was relentless against evil but cherished every life."
"In the depths of despair, for ordinary people, he wielded the knife against powerful families."
"And to save lives, he dared to brave Deceit Night alone, facing formidable foes."
"Such a person, with steadfast determination, rare in eternity, I believe if he had a choice, he would protect everyone in the Human Clan."
"And today's choices must be the most beneficial for the Human Clan."
Shi Wen spoke, saying: "He resides on high, each action involves the entire race, moving mountains, he cannot mind the dust." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "But a speck of dust to the era, falls on you like a mountain! The Human Race Saint Master indeed hasn't done well enough, apologizing to you…"
"Nonsense!"
Shi Wen was suddenly angry, coughing intensely, then shouted: "The Human Race Saint Master's achievements are eternal, how dare you question them?"
"Even if you feel this generation lacks the Saint Master's grace, your ancestors were stable because of the Holy Alliance."
"Your descendants will also inherit the Human Clan's new technique in the future, overcoming the Deceit Night predicament."
"This is a meritorious achievement through the ages!"
As Shi Wen spoke.
The girl mocked coldly: "He has eternal achievements, but what about our generation? He destroyed the Holy Alliance's situation, suppressed the glory of the third Human Clan dynasty, brought about the Netherworld's emergence… we were supposed to be the luckiest generation, yet became the most disaster-ridden."
"..."
Lin Yan remained silent.
Only Shi Wen shook his head slightly, saying sternly: "The blame lies with the era, the merit spans all time, the Saint Master's deeds, the rights and wrongs, successes and failures, will be judged by future generations!"
