Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 745 - 509: Divine Armor, Seven Star Sun Day (Part 2)

The last heir of the Helmet Clan to arrive now merely smiled at Lu Lin, causing Lu Lin's Consciousness Universe to tremble uncontrollably, and only with the help of the Eyeball Star Core was he able to remain unharmed.

These people are terrifying.

If it were one-on-one, Lu Lin might just barely manage to deal with one of them. But if so many were to unite...

Lu Lin reckons that even a strong Star Emperor would fall in defeat at the hands of these few people.

The flock of white cranes in the sky descended instantly at high speed.

Though they seemed to be lazily flapping their wings, they appeared above Lu Lin and the others in the next moment.

As the old man appeared, the people below immediately sensed something and looked up at him.

Xiong Sha showed a slight smile on his face, thinking it's finally here.

The others all had heavy hearts.

Among the seven present, apart from Lu Lin, the outsider, everyone knew what would be required of them when the Seven Great Lost Clans gathered.

The past few days together could be described as the happiest in their lives.

However... happy times are always short-lived.

Each of the six had their own mission.

When the Seven Great Lost Clans gather, it will be the time for the Divine Armor's rebirth.

This is the fate of each person, inescapable.

Even if it means sacrificing their lives.

Lu Lin seemed to sense the subtle atmosphere on site and was just about to say something when he saw the old man on the back of the white crane gently leap down to the ground.

His eyes were locked on Lu Lin from the moment he arrived. "So, this is the successor of the Heart Lake Clan. Haha, I've been waiting for you for so long. If you hadn't come, I fear I would've turned into a pile of old bones."

"May I know your name? I am Dou Kang, a pleasure to meet you."

Dou Kang said this while slightly bowing to Lu Lin.

Among the Seven Great Lost Clans, the Heart Lake Clan leads.

Regardless of who the Heart Lake Successor is or what their cultivation level is, the other six successors must treat them as their leader without a hint of neglect.

This rule has been ingrained deep in their bones since they became successors and is insurmountable.

"Greetings, Mister Dou Kang, I'm Lu Lin, the... the successor of the Heart Lake Clan."

Lu Lin said as he couldn't help but step forward a few steps toward Dou Kang.

His heart was filled with endless doubts.

A few days ago, Xiong Sha told him that when the Seven Great Lost Clans gather, they need to set up an altar to begin the ceremony, during which the six of them are to die.

Lu Lin didn't want that.

Over the past few days, Lu Lin had become good friends with Jian Xia, Lv Ling, and others, and he couldn't bear to watch them die.

Besides, to begin with, he wasn't truly the successor of the Heart Lake Clan, and he had nothing to do with that Heart-protecting Mirror.

Even though he knew that the Heart-protecting Mirror was undoubtedly a remarkable treasure. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

If it came to obtaining the treasure by slaying enemies, Lu Lin wouldn't be so conflicted.

He wasn't a saint.

But now, in front of him were Jian Xia, Lv Ling, Bi Jiang, Fu Shuang, Xiong Sha, Dou Kang—all living, breathing humans who had done nothing against him, and naturally, Lu Lin couldn't sacrifice others to save himself.

"Haha, Lu Lin, there's no need to say more."

Before Lu Lin could speak, Dou Kang smiled and waved at him. Lu Lin took a few steps to his side, as two massive white cranes descended from the sky, landing at their feet.

"Come, let's talk as we ride the cranes. Wouldn't that be great? You can listen to what the old man has to say and then decide."

Lu Lin hesitated for a moment.

He looked at Dou Kang in front of him, whose face was filled with a gentle smile.

He glanced over at the faces of Jian Xia and the others until Xiong Sha.

All the people looked at Lu Lin with such expressions and nodded to him encouragingly, with no displeasure at all.

Lu Lin gritted his teeth and gently stepped onto one of the white cranes.

Instantly, Lu Lin felt a sense of weightlessness, and his entire being suddenly soared to ten thousand meters high in the sky.

"Lu Lin, I don't know where you're from, nor do I ask why you came to this world."

"I only believe that since you have the Heart-protecting Mirror, you are the successor of the Heart Lake Clan."

"In fact, when you entered the previous world level, I had already sensed it."

"The Seven Great Lost Clans, reuniting in seven days, the Seven Stars shining—all of this is destiny, and you need not harbor any misgivings. This is your destiny, and it's our destiny too."

Dou Kang also rode a white crane and came to Lu Lin's side, slowly recounting the tale of the Seven Great Lost Clans.

It is said that countless years ago, in an era so long past it can't be recorded in numbers.

At that time, in the Desolate World, a Divine Armor appeared.

The Desolate World, among the many small worlds under Longyuan World, was one of the top few, with a large population and highly developed cultivation, where even Star Emperor strong people's numbers were not less than Longyuan World.

For the sake of this Divine Armor, innumerable Star Emperor strong people fought fiercely, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Brothers turned against each other, husbands and wives became enemies, fathers and sons glared with hostility.

In the end, only the last seven powerful Star Emperor strong people survived, who became the ancestors of the Seven Great Lost Clans.

By then, the entire Desolate World was nearly shattered by these Star Emperor strong people, and finally, the seven realized that if they kept fighting, even if someone could obtain the Divine Armor, they would only become a solitary figure.

They had no choice but to sit down and negotiate.

Though the seven had the intention to negotiate, each was extremely proud, neither lacking in intelligence nor strength.

During their quarrel, other Star Emperor strong people couldn't resist but took action.

The going got tough, and the world was dyed in blood.

This battle lasted for dozens of years, leaving not even one in a hundred humans in the Desolate World.

If they continued fighting like this, the final outcome would be the destruction of the world.

And, as they relied on the Desolate World for their existence, if the world were gone, they too would perish.

It was at this moment that the seven powerful individuals discovered a problem.

The originally shattered world had unexpectedly experienced an increase in the human population again.

This situation left all seven people confused for a while.

Clearly, there were few humans left in the world, so where did these people come from?

After probing, the seven learned that

another world was colliding with their Desolate World.

The collision would create a cataclysmic shockwave, in which all humans from both worlds would perish, and even they, as Star Emperor strong people, would be inescapable.

If it were during the Desolate World's prime, they might have had a chance to unite their countless subordinates and disciples and think of a solution, but at that moment, having nothing left to care about, someone suggested doing nothing and quietly waiting for death seemed an option.

At this time, the ancestor of the Heart Lake Clan stood up, proposing a plan.

To refine the Divine Armor.

And then, the person refining the Divine Armor would use themselves as a sacrifice to prevent the impending collision of the two worlds.

At the very least, they should ensure the impact resulting from the collision is reduced to a very low extent.

However, deciding who would undertake this task became a problem.

After a brief selection and voting, it was finally decided that the ancestor of the Heart Lake Clan should carry out the task.

Once this person received the others' approval, he took a Heavenly Oath before refining the Divine Armor, promising never to use the power of the armor for conflict, whether the endeavor succeeded or failed.

The Divine Armor was meant for protection.

The remaining six strong people greatly admired him, and thus they agreed on an oath.

That the Divine Armor would henceforth belong to the Heart Lake Clan, and neither they nor their descendants should ever seize it.

After the Heavenly Oath was established, the Heart Lake elder embarked on his mission.

There is no complete record of how this matter concluded.

However, considering the current situations of the Nuor World and the Desolate World, it is evident that the Heart Lake elder's efforts were neither completely successful nor entirely in vain back then.

At the very least, he managed to preserve the descendants of the other six clans.

Subsequently, for unknown reasons, the Divine Armor was divided into seven parts.

The helmet, shoulder guards, arm guards, chest protector, abdomen protector, and shoes were distributed among the other six Lost Clans.

However, the Heart-protecting Mirror from the Heart Lake lineage went missing.

At some point, a prophecy emerged among the Successors of the Lost Clans who had received parts of the Divine Armor.

Whoever holds the Heart-protecting Mirror automatically becomes the successor of the Heart Lake Clan.

Upon learning of the Heart Lake Successor's existence, the successor of the six clans must come unconditionally, bringing their parts of the Divine Armor.

With life, blood, and Star Power as fuel, they would gather the Divine Armor into its strongest form.

Then...

The Divine Armor would unite.

And the six would perish.

This is how they repay the Heart Lake elder's kindness in saving the world back then.
