Chapter 3126
Lingxu City is not only of great significance to Beijia; it likewise represents the Heavenly Demons' ruling power in the mortal world. If it is taken by the War Alliance, the deterrence of the Lingxu Saint Venerable will suffer a devastating blow.
"Besides, it may also be related to us starting construction of the Mount Xushan main base. We just captured Mount Xushan; if the Heavenly Demons choose to launch the Divine Enlightenment Plan tonight, we simply won't have time to complete the Mount Xushan main base, but three days from now will be different. This is speaking from the difficulty of the Heavenly Demon forces counterattacking us."
"There's also the Eye of Fear," Sun Fuling added.
"Right, and the Eye of Fear. The Lingxu Saint Venerable wants it to reach the battlefield safely."
Right now there are only two Archdemons in the mortal world. Hou Tianyu has the Eye of Fear; it's very hard for him to escape Mount Xushan. But once the Lingxu Saint Venerable activates the Divine Enlightenment Plan, everyone will be busy dealing with the newly descended Archdemons, and the force pursuing the Eye of Fear will certainly decrease.
He pins high hopes on the Eye of Fear; it is a supreme killing weapon on the battlefield.
General Hong said softly, "Have Yiju act as well, but don't let the main body take the field."
"Good."
He Lingchuan answered, stomped his foot on the ground twice: "You heard that, right?"
A little fire man drilled out of the ground.
"Heard it, heard it!" The little fire man grew impatient, "Why can't my main body go over? Finish the fight early, finish the matter early."
"Your main body can't withstand the Eye of Fear," Sun Fuling warned it, "You can only remotely control an avatar, so you won't be taken advantage of by it."
"It can affect me?" Yiju was unconvinced, "I'm a natural-born spirit creature, don't compare me with fragile flesh-and-blood living beings!"
"What's being compared isn't the fleshly body, but the mind," Sun Fuling shook her head, "Dare you say you have no fears?"
"Naturally." The little fire man held its head high.
"You're not afraid of the Lingxu Saint Venerable?" Sun Fuling pierced him with a single sentence, "If you're not afraid of the Lingxu Saint Venerable, why would you cooperate with us?"
"What's this 'fear'?" The little fire man flew into a rage out of humiliation, "This is called wariness!"
"Wariness, fear, suspicion — whatever. Even if you yourself aren't aware of it, the Eye of Fear can excavate it from the deepest part of your heart." Sun Fuling said slowly, "Most terrifying is that it can not only attack the fear in your heart, but even your joy and delight, it can exploit those too."
Yiju was greatly surprised: "What does my happiness have to do with it? It can exploit even this?"
"Of course. So-called sorrow and joy are connected; from love arises fear. What you like is precisely what you're most afraid of losing." Sun Fuling patted its head, "You can say you have no fears, but you can't have no likes."
He Lingchuan added from the side: "Lady Lady Lady Mitian's former identity, the Fate Ancient God, is the refiner of the Eye of Fear. No one in this world understands the Eye of Fear better than him."
"Fine then." The little fire man dejectedly crouched on the ground and vanished.
"Our luck's not bad; Shuangye is nearby. The other True Immortals each have their own missions, and they probably can't escape the Eye of Fear's prying either." He Lingchuan felt ashamed, "Even I can't; I have too many weak spots."
He has too many loves, too many attachments; they can easily be converted into weaknesses by the Eye of Fear.
"Shuangye wants to eat as much good food as possible during the Gluttony Period; of course she'd come near Lingxu City." Sun Fuling smiled, "Where in all the world is there a place with a higher density of immortals and demons than the current Lingxu City?"
So Shuangye will come, just like sharks track migrating sardine schools.
She added: "If I didn't have important business, I'd really like to meet the Eye of Fear."
The Eye of Fear is a creation of the Death Ancient God, and she is the Death Ancient God's inheritor. Even Lady Lady Lady Mitian couldn't take away this divine object; she wants to try it too.
"You're the most fearless person I've ever seen." This sentence from He Lingchuan wasn't flattery, but a heartfelt sigh.
"Fearless?" Sun Fuling gave a self-mocking laugh, shook her head, "I've long not been as fearless as I was two hundred years ago. So Shuangye really is the best choice to pursue the Eye of Fear, better than me."
The General Hong of those years: powerful, iron-blooded, ruthless, caring for no one's life, including her own.
"How so?" He Lingchuan lowered his head to look at her, "Can't tell at all."
She lightly sighed: "In the Panlong World, I could be the perfect Master Sun; but after returning to reality, no matter how hard I try, I can only be an imperfect General Hong."
He Lingchuan turned Sun Fuling's shoulders, making her face him, and said seriously: "Because you're already a true living person, no longer the tireless killing machine of two hundred years ago. Living people have feelings; they're fragile because of feelings, but also strong because of feelings."
He Lingchuan turned Sun Fuling's shoulder to face him, then said solemnly: "Because you are now a true living person, no longer the tireless killing machine from two hundred years ago. Living beings have emotions, which make them fragile, but also strong."
Yes, she's already a living person. She can have ambition, delusions, temper, her own likes, new goals, and flaws.
Yes, she was now a living person. She could have ambition, delusions, temper, her own preferences, new goals, and flaws.
Her time has finally continued moving forward.
"Besides, we can't all become our most ideal selves." He Lingchuan tightly held her hand, "But in my eyes, you're already the most perfect form."
"Look." He said leisurely, "I spent twenty-seven years chasing you. How correct was my choice?"
Sun Fuling couldn't help laughing. But she quickly restrained her smile, said softly: "But I waited for you to appear, a full two hundred years."
He Lingchuan lightly embraced her shoulders.
She leaned against his neck hollow, lightly exhaled a breath.
This moment of peaceful years before the war seemed like eternity.
He Lingchuan asked softly: "If we win. After the war ends, what are your plans?"
He Lingchuan asked her softly: "If we win. After the war ends, what are your plans?"
"We'll travel the world. Earth Mother said there's a place where it snows nine months out of the year; the snow there takes a thousand postures."
Sun Fuling chuckled: "What's so pretty about snow?"
The Panlong Wasteland gets snow every year too.
"But beneath the snow there are karst caves, like a crystal maze, and many glowing algae." He Lingchuan asked her a second time, "Where do you want to go?"
"Me." Sun Fuling's eyes rolled, "When the time comes I'll be free and unencumbered; I want to pursue 'Above the Great Dao'."
He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised; she still remembers this?
"Ever since Zhao Man Du Da Sa Man mentioned it — a realm even the Dragon God never truly set foot in — I've yearned for it a bit."
Later generations striving to follow predecessors' footsteps — isn't it to walk farther than them?
"Then, will you go with me?" Sun Fuling said this, let out a light 'oh', "Right, you still have Cang Yan."
He still has the responsibility of a nation's ruler.
"Then I won't matter; this world can do without anyone." He Lingchuan smiled, "I'm going with you!"
Sun Fuling laughed, rested her head on his shoulder: "Good, a word settles it."
Seeing her mood excellent, He Lingchuan held her hand and took the chance to say: "However, that mission in a moment, I think it should still be me"
Seeing her in high spirits, He Lingchuan took her hand and seized the opportunity to say: "However, I think I should still take on that task later."
