Chapter 3019: Accelerate, Accelerate Again!

This is what they call mutual destruction.

He Lingchuan seized Ruiyin Divine Lord's body, directly limiting the scale of the Divine Descent. Originally, Lingxu Holy Lord had promised the entire Heavenly Realm that he would bring all the gods down to the mortal world. Whether Chi was speaking off the cuff or not, the theft of Yinyin Divine Lord's body caused the number of gods descending to the mortal world to shrink drastically from tens of thousands. The attacks the mortal world would have to endure were greatly reduced.

Just this alone makes He Lingchuan's merit boundless. Not to mention, he also helped the people of Panlong City transition from illusion to reality, returning to the world of the living.

And the Demon Emperor's move of removing the firewood from under the cauldron at the Wuhuan enthronement ceremony cleanly shattered Lingxu Holy Lord's intention to fully control Biega! Biega, or rather most Biegans, were unwilling to obey the murderer who killed the Emperor Lord, and even more unwilling to bleed and sacrifice for Chi and his kind.

Originally, Biega was the most powerful weapon for the Lingxu gods to rule the mortal world; after this turn of events, this weapon no longer obeyed.

And the price was that Little Green Flood Dragon would face grave danger, and all of Biega would inevitably split apart.

Who could have predicted that the Demon Emperor's enormous contribution to Biega, to this mortal world, would only be revealed after its death?

He Lingchuan couldn't sit still; he got up and paced two circles:

"Lingxu Holy Lord can no longer control all of Biega, the laws of Yuanli have undergone huge changes, but Chi's Divine Descent plan is also on the bowstring, impossible to cancel. So, if I were Lingxu Holy Lord—"

He pursed his lips.

Sun Fuling continued for him: "The Divine Descent plan moves up ahead of schedule?"

He Lingchuan nodded.

"For the Heavenly Demons, the situation in the mortal world will only deteriorate further, becoming more and more unfavorable to them. Dragging out the Divine Descent plan any longer is meaningless; it must be advanced!" He exhaled heavily, "If there's any good news, once they descend ahead of schedule, some preparations won't be thorough enough." But plans often can't keep up with changes, and opponents won't wait for you to be truly ready. Such a shallow principle, Lingxu Holy Lord certainly sees through clearly. Sun Fuling asked him: "What plan do you have?"

He Lingchuan's expression was solemn, his eyes flashing with the light of ambition and excitement: "I've waited for this day for a very long time."

The two were of one mind, their thoughts aligned; Sun Fuling deduced it slightly and immediately stood up: "Wait, it couldn't be what I'm thinking, right?" He Lingchuan gave a dark chuckle: "It's exactly what you're thinking! How do you feel about it?"

Sun Fuling subconsciously licked her lips: "Circumstances have changed with time; right now is a good opportunity!"

Du Shan looked at her, then at He Lingchuan, a bit uncertain: "Emperor Lord?"

The Emperor Lord has to give the order personally before he can execute it.

A sharp light flashed in He Lingchuan's eyes: "Since Lingxu Holy Lord intends to advance the schedule, then I'll simply give him another push!"

Du Shan's heart tightened, he instinctively broke into a cold sweat: "You mean, we move first?"

"Since this battle is unavoidable, why must we wait for the Heavenly Demons to initiate?" He Lingchuan's smile held three parts iron and blood, "Whoever strikes first seizes the initiative." This sentence stirred Du Shan's blood again.

The Emperor Lord's actions are indeed always unexpected; fortunately General Hong can keep up.

The corner of Sun Fuling's mouth curled up, her smile gradually widening: "You're just afraid the world won't be chaotic enough."

This scoundrel's audacity knows no bounds, hasn't changed in decades. Others rack their brains trying to delay battle with the Heavenly Demons, but he's the opposite — he actually wants to take the initiative and attack? He Lingchuan took her hand, confirming once more:

"What do you think?"

Once this decision is set, it moves the lives of hundreds of millions.

"I think it's feasible." Sun Fuling's beautiful eyes shone startlingly bright. She never shrank from battle, and now there was even a hint of eagerness to try, "Only those who do not fear battle can wage battle."

What they are about to open is a vast, sweeping war across the world. Its scope, intensity, and range of influence far surpass the Dragon God War of the past! The two looked at each other and smiled; everything was understood without words.

Other lovers yearn for peaceful, quiet years;

but what they want is to work together, striking the water in midstream, waves blocking the flying boat!

He Lingchuan asked her in return: "Where do you think the first battlefield is?"

"Naturally, it's Biega!" Sun Fuling looked at the sand table, "After the Shenglong Mountain upheaval, the last layer of window paper between the Heavenly Demons and the Demon Emperor's forces on the surface has been pierced through. Nie Xiaolou sending Wuhuan away from the capital at the first moment shows he knew he could no longer gain a foothold in Lingxu City. This move was very wise, but their path ahead isn't smooth sailing either. Hm, where have they reached?"

"Songyang Prefecture Lord sent word, saying that on Chizu Mountain ninety li south of Lingxu City, unusual brilliant lights were flickering, spotted from afar by herb gatherers. Judging from their description, it might be the Great Mountain-Moving Teleportation Array." Du Shan reported, "Green Palace Grand Preceptor acts cautiously, would use extremely secretive methods to escort Wuhuan away. So, no news right now might be good news."

"Nie Xiaolou escorting Wuhuan to flee, the gods and Heavenly Palaces will certainly pursue. Fortunately now all kinds of divine abilities, escape techniques, and teleportation arrays are emerging endlessly; escaping is much easier than before." Sun Fuling planted a Squad Leader flag on "Chizu Mountain" on the sand table, "You judge, where is Nie Xiaolou's destination?" "No matter what route they take to escape, they must ultimately enter Chiyan or Baoshu Kingdom." Du Shan didn't hesitate, "These are the two major strongholds within Biega resisting the Heavenly Demons, and the most powerful vassal demon kingdoms. Only when Wuhuan safely reaches one of these two places will he be truly safe."

"The final destination is Baoshu Kingdom." He Lingchuan said, "Chiyan is located centrally in Biega, surrounded by other vassal demon kingdoms. Which side those vassal kingdoms will ultimately lean toward is hard to say; Baoshu Kingdom borders the frontier and the ocean, so if the war goes badly, Wuhuan can flee abroad, or simply take a ship to ascend to heaven or enter the sea."

If planning for the longer term, Nie Xiaolou bringing Wuhuan to land in Baoshu Kingdom allows both defense and retreat.

"Baoshu Kingdom's foundation is also far more solid than Chiyan's; it has existed since Biega's founding, unbroken for six hundred years. And Lingshan has mentioned more than once that there is a True Immortal secretly supporting Baoshu Kingdom. In the current chaotic situation, a True Immortal's power is the anchor that steadies the sea."

Du Shan's expression moved, but he didn't interject.

The long-circulating rumor that "a True Immortal stands behind the Baoshu King" — it's actually true?

When he previously gathered intelligence on Biega, he'd also heard this rumor, but didn't take it too seriously. After all, in the six hundred years since Baoshu Kingdom's establishment, that so-called True Immortal had never shown its face, so naturally no one had ever seen it. Over time, this legend slowly faded even within Baoshu Kingdom, rarely mentioned anymore. Unexpectedly, it is Lingshan who has now confirmed this legend.

"Right now is the critical period for Nie Xiaolou bringing Wuhuan south; the gods and Heavenly Palaces will certainly pursue with all their might over thousands of li, while Chiyan and Baoshu Kingdom won't sit idly by either." He Lingchuan made the decision, "This is also our good opportunity to intervene."

"Then notify Mou Kingdom and Lingshan first; announce it to the world after the fighting starts."
