Chapter 3110
Since even his mortal enemy has discovered this secret, what reason does he have left to keep it from his closest comrade-in-arms?
Moreover, if he does not lay this matter bare before Sun Fuling, the subsequent arrangements and battle plans will inevitably be affected. For it is obvious that the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit will make an issue of this.
Sun Fuling is also sharp-witted and quick to grasp: "Putting it this way, the reason the divine talisman board brought by Xiao Hanzi last time began to glow the moment it reached your hands is because that World Heart Core sensed your presence?"
He Lingchuan could only admit: "Exactly."
Sun Fuling gave him an annoyed white-eye. This bastard had already figured out the reason back then, yet he was still playing dumb in front of her!
This matter had her racking her brains for many days!
He Lingchuan could only cough: "At that time I was merely, merely speculating."
Then he hurried to change the subject: "By the way, help me ponder this—what exactly does the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit intend by seeking me out for an audience this time?"
Sun Fuling snorted: "Isn't he fond of talent? He wants to recruit you under his banner to rule the mortal realm and accomplish some great undertaking."
"That's impossible." He Lingchuan rubbed his nose, "He knows very well what kind of person I am."
Sun Fuling said lightly: "Don't you always have that saying on your lips? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
"
"I was wrong, Master, please forgive me." He Lingchuan gave a bitter smile, "Between me and the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit, we are already eternal enemies. Publicly or privately, there can be no compromise whatsoever. He should be clearest on this point."
His native world was destroyed by the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit;
Everything he has struggled and fought for in the mortal realm, the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit now also seeks to destroy.
The interests and positions of the two sides are fundamentally opposed, with not a shred of possibility for compromise. As of today, the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit's judgment of He Lingchuan's resolve and capability cannot possibly be mistaken again. He knows full well that He Lingchuan will oppose him to the bitter end.
After all, Sun Fuling is Sun Fuling. Once they get down to business, that little annoyance in her heart is quickly tossed to the back of her mind.
"He puts forth such a half-hearted excuse, knowing you would never believe it. That shows his words and actions today are merely a facade, perhaps even just bait, meant to mislead you?"
He Lingchuan shook his head.
"The Holy Lord of the Void Spirit today revealed many key pieces of information, all of which I could not obtain from other demons in the heavenly realm. Why would he, before the Descension of Divinity plan, specially come to me to divulge these secrets?"
What Sun Fuling said is correct. The Holy Lord of the Void Spirit surely intends to guide him.
So, what exactly does the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit want to do?
Since he has produced so many secrets as guidance, what does he hope He Lingchuan will clarify?
Inside the great tent, silence fell as both sank into deep thought—on the Divine Initiation Plan, on the Great Heavenly Demon, on the World Heart Core—recent intelligence is truly abundant yet chaotic, and extracting a clue from it is no simple task.
Seeing his furrowed brow, the Red General softened her tone to comfort him: "When the enemy comes, we meet him; when the water comes, we earth it. No matter how the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit schemes, we will always hold in our grasp this most powerful weapon—elemental power—"
Elemental power has evolved to this extent; for the heavenly demons to think they can defeat the War Alliance, defeat the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, and defeat the Red General by brute force alone—how easy is that?
The protection of elemental power over the mortal realm is an insurmountable wall for them.
These words struck like lightning, instantly flashing through He Lingchuan's mind, tearing apart the lingering fog. He slammed his palm on the table and exclaimed hoarsely: "Elemental power, it is precisely elemental power!"
With a "crack," the table shattered into seven or eight pieces.
The guards outside heard the commotion and all rushed in.
He Lingchuan raised his hand and blasted them all out.
He rarely loses composure like this; the Red General, puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
He Lingchuan clenched his fists, enunciating each word: "What the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit seeks to oppose is precisely the law of elemental power itself!"
Once this layer of window paper was pierced, he understood where his long-standing unease came from.
The Red General startled: "The law of elemental power? But—"
But she immediately grasped it, fell silent, her thoughts racing.
After a long while, she spat out two words through gritted teeth: "Damn it!"
She is not only sharp-witted, her understanding of the law of elemental power is equally profound as He Lingchuan's.
The Black Dragon God Sovereign sacrificed himself for the Dao; for three thousand years, benevolent and aspiring souls have followed one after another, ultimately bringing the law of elemental power to completion.
When it emerged, the mortal realm gained its newest and most powerful weapon against the heavenly demons.
Even if this time He Lingchuan and the War Alliance's resistance still fails, the foundation of heavenly demon rule over the mortal realm will not be stable due to the existence of the law of elemental power.
It can make the heavenly demons forever feel as if they have a bone stuck in their throats, not to mention the terrifying boost the law of elemental power gives to super-generals like He Lingchuan and the Red General—it is the aggregation of all beings' power into a single body, so that when facing the Great Heavenly Demon, they not only stand equal but can even win in battle.
Therefore, once the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit descends to the mortal realm, his foremost enemy is not He Lingchuan or the Red General, but the law of elemental power that his old rival, the Black Dragon God Sovereign, painstakingly brought into being.
Conversely, as long as the law of elemental power is destroyed, the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit will have destroyed the enemy's strongest martial foundation.
Thereafter, armies will struggle to resist the heavenly demons, and He Lingchuan and others will no longer be a match for the Great Heavenly Demon. The greatest obstacle to heavenly demons running rampant in the mortal realm will thus be removed.
But the creation of a law is not easy, and damaging it is likewise no simple matter.
How great a price did the Black Dragon God Sovereign pay to embed the primal force law into the heavenly way, and by what means does the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit think he can pry it loose?
The flash of insight that appeared in He Lingchuan's mind quickly linked all clues, cause and effect. Since mastering the Divine Format of Fate, his penetration into causality has been unmatched by few in the world.
"To attempt to forcibly alter the heavenly rules of the mortal realm through external force already has a precedent before our eyes." He Lingchuan mused aloud, "The Black Dragon God Sovereign directly sacrificed himself, which led to the heavenly net star fragments, after being forged into the Great Square Vessel, having the possibility to give birth to chaos. Therefore, if the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit wishes to alter the law of elemental power, he must fulfill two key conditions."
Sun Fuling interjected: "The heart core of the small world, and the sacrificed powerful one?"
"Exactly." He Lingchuan nodded, "I estimate that after the appearance of the law of elemental power, the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit has had many speculations about it, and having discovered its great potency before the immortals and the Xian Sect, he subsequently thought to support Bekka to strike the Xian Sect and other human nations; on the other hand, the Holy Lord of the Void Spirit spent thousands of years seeking my homeland, thereby seizing the heart core of the small world."
The first key condition is fulfilled.
The second key condition is more troublesome, requiring the sacrifice of the flesh, blood, and soul of a peak powerhouse.
