I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1394 - 729: Advancing to True Immortal! (Part 2)

"I do not agree!"

Lin Yan's hand was placed on the hilt of his blade, his face expressionless, saying, "Divine Mother, I respect you for protecting the Human Clan for countless years. Since childhood, I have grown up listening to your legends. It is understandable that you wish to safeguard yourself this time, and I have no complaints! However, if the Divine Mother truly intends to use her as a vessel, I cannot agree!"

He gripped the hilt tightly, as if ready to draw the blade if words failed to resolve.

"Have you thought it through?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Wutong Divine Mother said, "Among the Human Clan, you are the only pillar. If you cannot become a True Immortal, you will have no opportunity to rise above. Once all gods are fully awakened, the Human Clan will face inevitable doom! Right now, you can achieve True Immortal status, and in the future, you could have allies in the Emperor Realm!"

Her tone was gentle, and she softly said, "This is not merely about your personal likes and dislikes, nor is it a simple choice for you alone. It is an important decision affecting the grand future of the Human Clan! If you choose wrongly, the future of the Human Clan is worrying, possibly leading to extinction! If you choose correctly, there are signs of great prosperity for the Human Clan!"

"In my life, I've lived with a clear conscience!"

Lin Yan replied, "If I abandon her, my conscience would not be clear!"

Wutong Divine Mother calmly asked, "And what about the Human Clan?"

Lin Yan said, "Without the aid of the Divine Mother, I can still advance to True Immortal status, even if it takes a little longer! Without allies in the Emperor Realm, I can still eliminate all invading enemies, even if it is more difficult!"

He continued, "Yun Qing's future can follow me to fight and die, but cannot be abandoned by me to die! The future of the Human Clan is unknown to anyone, yet it has always been a path carved out by the predecessors fighting with their lives!"

"Good!"

Wutong Divine Mother said, "Worthy of being the Saint Master of the Human Clan, even when the Netherworld army attacked before, requiring a batch of expendable sacrifices, you were unwilling to let them die without purpose. I did not mistake you..."

Previously, when the Netherworld army attacked, to lure the enemy deeper, the Netherworld had to gain victories.

And these victories required sacrifices of human lives.

At that time, the high-ranking officials of the Human Clan had already chosen a batch of expendable sacrifices.

But in the end, Lin Yan replaced a batch of them with reincarnated divine beings from Little God Village.

And those remaining expendable humans were, beforehand, informed of the truth and given a chance to choose.

"In my eyes, she is also part of the Human Clan."

Lin Yan said this, finally realizing, his eyes slightly narrowed, "The Divine Mother was testing me?"

"The Phoenix Ancestor is completely perished and has no opportunity for revival."

Wutong Divine Mother extended her hand, gently stroking Yun Qing's head, saying, "She is the phoenix I have chosen, the Phoenix Ancestor of the next era. I will use all my strength to assist her in ascending to the Emperor Realm."

Speaking here, Wutong Divine Mother quietly looked at Lin Yan, saying, "If the Phoenix Ancestor of the previous era was like my daughter, then she is like my granddaughter. The chosen husband must be tested."

"Divine Mother..."

Yun Qing was quite shocked, but quickly whispered, "You should know his character better than I do."

"In this world, time can change everything."

Wutong Divine Mother said, "But good, he still maintains his nature up to now... I thought, even if he did not care for the Human Clan, he would care for his chance to achieve True Immortal status!"

Speaking here, Wutong Divine Mother continued, "In this era of Deceit Night, countless young and passionate individuals eventually became servants of Deceit Night, giving up everything!"

"His achievement is the strongest existence of the Human Clan since the Ancient Era, unprecedented."

"Even without the erosion of strange energy, the human heart has always been this way!"

"Once reaching high position, arrogance and conceit follow, comparing themselves to the Immortal Gods, abandoning their clan, overlooking all beings."

"He is, since the Ancient Era, the most qualified person in the Human Clan to possess this 'divinity'."

Talking to this point, Wutong Divine Mother further stated, "But it's good you haven't forgotten Lu Yue's teachings!"

Lu Yue, the original Great Temple Priest of Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture City, Lord Lu of High Willow City.

Since Lord Lu met Lin Yan, he has always been focused on the transformation between humanity and divinity.

"Go ahead!"

Wutong Divine Mother gently waved her hand, saying, "Yun Qing has already undergone many years' cycles of life and death, reincarnation, and can be described as Nirvana! I will impart the Nine Heavens Nirvana True Scripture of the Phoenix Lineage to her, helping her reshape her foundation, and using Kaiyuan Creation God Skill to reconstruct her realm!"

"As for you, you may enter the Tribulation Treasure Ship and undergo secluded cultivation peacefully."

"This time, I sacrifice my foundational attributes to help you withstand the influence from various Emperor Realms."

"After this matter, I will sleep for ten thousand years, relying entirely on your protection."

She said this, adding, "You could protect Yun Qing without abandoning her! I also believe that in the future, you will do your best to protect me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan felt a shock in his heart.

He finally understood why the familiar Wutong Divine Mother still sought to test him at this moment.

Because this ancient deity, existing since the beginning of time, has decided to entrust her life and death to him.

Exhausting all attributes, sleeping beneath the Deceit Night!

In the era of gods' revival, abandoning the chance to vie for power in the new era!

In the unclear future present, depleting all power, placing the hope of life and death into Lin Yan's hands.

Such trust completely exceeded Lin Yan's expectations.

"This Wutong Divine Mother, what a bold move." The Ancient God of Yellow Springs could not help but think, "If I had known today, when the Lord entered the Netherworld, I shouldn't have haggled or threatened, making things so ugly!"

"Had I known early that I couldn't refuse the Lord, I should have bowed willingly, instead of acting with the arrogance of an ancient god."

"Now, this Wutong Divine Mother similarly entrusts her life wholly, but if the Lord faces danger in the future, he will surely abandon me, but not this Wutong Divine Mother."

"If truly in the new era the Human Clan is worshipped, and the Lord becomes the master of all gods, the status of Wutong Divine Mother will definitely not be inferior to any Emperor Realm."

"But for me, the God of Yellow Springs, whether I can retain my authority in the Netherworld is another matter entirely."

"It seems I must find a way to show my loyalty."

With the thoughts tumbling in the mind of the Ancient God of Yellow Springs.

And Lin Yan had already bid farewell to the Wutong Divine Mother, taking a deep look at Yun Qing, nodding his head.

He turned and left, meeting old friends in Qifeng Prefecture City.

Decades of time, even if all are accomplished cultivators, have gradually withered away.

The erosion of Deceit Night, looming threats, and the grinding down by time!

Threats from Heavenly Gods, Old Gods, Ghost Gods, Demons, Evil Spirits, and even Tribulation Ashes, brought endless wars!

Some lost control and died, some passed away sick in bed, but many old friends... died in battle.

This time, Lin Yan left Qifeng Prefecture City and traveled across the land of the Three Mansions.

From the once Taixuan Divine Mountain, now the Tai Xuan Abyss, to the South Mountain Sacred Land, Yuan Shan City, Li City, Feng City... East Mountain Prefecture, Residual Prison Mansion...

He wandered through old places, meeting only a few old friends.

"They say things change while people remain unchanged, yet now, time has changed everything, the sea has become mulberry fields..."

Lin Yan's eyes were complex, whispering, "Old friends are like leaves falling in the wind, gradually withering, as if distancing us more and more from this era."

Niu Yan whispered, "With the decline of old friends, the new generation of the Human Clan juniors, few of whom we are familiar with, yet many are distant and separated!"

We are familiar with few, yet many are distant and separated!" We are familiar with few, yet many are distant and separated!" We are familiar with few, yet many are distant and separated!"
