Damn, this time I'm finally here—actually plotting to kill me?
Long Chen was stunned. So so many people came here for the meeting just to get his head, and he, the main character, was right in the crowd. This was a bit too ironic.
"I really need to listen to that!" Long Chen immediately lowered his raised leg and sat up straight.
In fact, the cross-legged gesture looked arrogant, but in reality, it wasn't comfortable. But to others, it seemed as if Long Chen was getting serious.
Every move everyone made couldn't escape the divine envoy's notice. Seeing Long Chen sitting upright, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, as if he was in no hurry to deal with Long Chen anymore.
"Um, can I ask why Long Chen can't be caught alive? Those two little girls aren't very strong; if one of them gets careless, they might accidentally kill them. What then?
After all, the battlefield is chaotic. Even we can't guarantee there won't be any mistakes. Long Chen is stronger and won't be taken out so easily. Long Chen raised his hand in a gesture.
As soon as Long Chen spoke, many disciples present nodded in agreement. This was the question they wanted to ask, but these assassins were used to following orders and rarely asked questions.
"You asked this very well, which shows you really listened."
The elder divine envoy nodded and, for the first time ever, praised Long Chen:
"Killing Long Chen is to establish authority, because this bastard is far too arrogant. Especially since he sent word to us—he's absolutely arrogant. This is something the great Tianfu cannot tolerate."
The reason these two girls were spared was because their lives were extremely important. As for why it mattered, we need to start from the beginning.
What I said next is very important. This concerns your future. Listen carefully, and don't miss a single word. As
he spoke, the divine envoy's expression grew serious: "Emperor Heaven, the last day of the Nine Heavens, and also the highest realm of the Nine Heavens. However, during the Great War of the Chaos Era, Emperor Heaven has been shattered and turned into a wasteland..."
Hearing the divine envoy begin to explain Emperor Heaven, Long Chen also became serious, After all, he was very eager to know the specific situation inside the Emperor's Heaven.
From the divine envoy's account, Long Chen learned that although Emperor Heaven was the highest realm among the Nine Heavens, it had already been beaten to a pulp and battered beyond recognition.
Most of the land was wild, and in some places, spatial rifts crisscrossed everywhere. Even Saint Kings dared not approach those rifts.
Rumor has it these cracks are scars left from the war between gods and demons in the chaotic era. The gods and demons have disappeared, but their wills remain. Saint Kings who approach the rifts are also wounded by the remnants of their will.
Therefore, over ninety percent of the entire Emperor Heaven was either desolate and inhabited or occupied by terrifying monsters, and some places, whether human or demonic, were inaccessible.
These monsters are all prehistoric remnants left over from the Chaos War. It is said that they belong to extraterrestrial species, not to the Nine Heavens or Ten Earths. They come in many varieties and are bloodthirsty, relentlessly attacking the territories of major factions.
This kind of attack has been relentless, almost day and night, unceasing for billions of years. The major races within Emperor Heaven fiercely battle monsters while building their own faction fortresses, fighting for a sliver of survival amid endless crises.
Survival is extremely tough, because this is a war of attrition. Monsters are endless, and no one knows where they come from. The major factions can only grit their teeth and hold on.
They could only strive to minimize casualties while frantically having children to slow down the war's exhaustion. As a result, many factions did not live well, as monsters surrounded them and people's activity ranges were limited.
Limited resources must endure unlimited consumption; once resources are exhausted, it means the race will be extinct.
Only all powerful racial forces, relying on their unique advantages, have secured a place in Emperor Heaven and steadily advanced to the surrounding areas, occupying more land and competing for more resources.
The Fate-Hunting Clan is arguably the most sought-after race in Emperor Heaven. Their powerful hiding abilities make them so powerful that even monsters cannot detect them.
Therefore, their lair was established among the monster horde, the safest base. While others struggled to get by, Tianfu was rapidly recuperating. After billions of years of cultivation, their strength was gradually approaching its former peak.
It was precisely because of this that Tianfu had the idea of revenge. However, Emperor Heaven was vast; their position was only a corner of Emperor Heaven. Even with Tianfu's strength, its range of activity was limited.
Their invisibility ability only works against some monsters. When the search area expands, they encounter monsters that can see through their disguises, and they also face danger.
Even a stronghold established by Tianfu was discovered by a group of migrating demons and wiped out, with not a single survivor escaping—a truly devastating loss.
The major powers of Emperor Heaven operate within only one-tenth of the area, while the Heavenly Treasury's range is even broader, accounting for only two-tenths.
In the area they searched, there was no sign of the Purple Blood Clan. However, in recent years, they had discovered traces of the Purple Blood Clan's actions.
This discovery made the Tianfu clan both excited and nervous. At that moment, Tianfu immediately ordered a halt to activities in that area to avoid being discovered by the Purple-Blood Clan.
Because the Destiny Clan and the Purple Blood Clan are mortal enemies, they know there is a Purple Blood Clan near that area, but they dare not get too close, as they do not know their numbers or deployment. If they act rashly, they may slip through the cracks. The Fate Hunter Clan's ultimate goal is to annihilate them completely.
Hearing this, a strange look appeared in Long Chen's eyes: Sounds so nice, but you're afraid that if things go wrong, history will repeat itself.
However, upon hearing news about the Purple Blood Clan, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a bit excited. He believed his grandfather had already arrived there.
Thinking of his grandfather, he thought of the mother he had never met. Long Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and a deep sense of longing welled up inside him.
Although he was a man, if his own child had their spiritual blood, root, and bone taken away just days after birth and then disappeared, their fate unknown, Long Chen knew he would go mad.
And my mother, over the years, must have endured countless torments. That kind of pain is beyond words, and not something anyone who has experienced it firsthand can truly understand.
Thinking of this, Long Chen wished he could fly to Emperor Heaven right now to see for himself. Suddenly, Qian Feng's exclamation came from beside him, and Long Chen realized that, without realizing it, he had already stood up, clenching his fists tightly.
"What are you doing?"
At that moment, the divine envoy's angry shout echoed from the high platform.
