Chapter 1096: The Story of Bad Things
Lord Lieyang wasn't in a hurry to get to the bottom of it.
Although the rebels are far less glorious than when their lord was still alive, and it is hard to say how much they have recovered, they are at least extending their influence again.
The one thing they have no shortage of is eyeliner.
Before long, a steady stream of news will be gathered in the Dark Realm. No matter what changes have occurred in the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom, they will be able to discuss it thoroughly and make a decision.
Seeing that Qing Yixuan had successfully escaped, Qin Yiyao, who had remained silent and unseen, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
She thought she was going to fail.
Gu Ce had never told her why the Grand Elder would stop the pursuit, so it was all up to fate.
If fate is against her, she has to escape on her own.
Qin Yiyao has no shortage of treasures for escaping; her master left behind quite a few good things.
But if she were to escape, she would have to find another way to contact the prisoners in the Epoch Cemetery outside. If she couldn't find a team to blend in with and reunite with them smoothly, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything with her small frame.
God knows if those prisoners underwent some unspeakable mental changes after being locked up for so long, and started breathing out in alarm whenever they encountered strangers.
Qin Yiyao estimated that it would most likely be like that.
Even if he had the chance to explain his purpose, he would probably find it difficult to persuade Yue Ru.
There's no need to worry about that now.
"The rebels don't seem to be as vicious as they appear?"
Qin Yiyao also turned her attention to Lieyang Jun.
She never made any assumptions, but in her eyes, Lord Lieyang definitely had the bearing of an emperor and was quite righteous. Since he was contemptuously called a "traitor to civilization" by that Grand Elder, it meant that he was once a member of the Wanchao Civilization and must have been one of the top in terms of status and strength within the civilization!
Perhaps he was once a god.
But it does sound incredible that a perfectly good divine ruler would choose to serve under a great enemy of the era, working for such a madman.
It's unclear what kind of allure that great enemy of the era possesses that could make the top experts of so many civilizations willingly serve him, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.
Moreover, Lord Lieyang just said he wanted to "save" Qing Yixuan...
It's even stranger.
His intention was definitely not simply to rescue Qing Yixuan from the clutches of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom; there was definitely a deeper meaning behind it.
Take a thousand steps back.
Qing Yixuan is top-notch in both background and talent. As a descendant of the Heavenly Destiny, she is already beyond the reach of ordinary people. Why would someone born with a smooth path to success need to be saved?
not understand.
……
For the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, nothing could be more devastating than this, with bad news spreading far and wide.
The events that occurred in Qinggu Divine Capital spread like wildfire throughout the entire Wanchao Civilization.
The Great Enemy of the Epoch Reappears in the World!
One strike cuts down two worshippers!
Stealing the divine kingdom's fortune!
These explosive news items caused a great stir in the Wanchao civilization. The Wanchao civilization itself was far from calm. After all, in such a dog-eat-dog civilization, wars and conquests never ceased. Every moment, low-ranking dynasties were destroyed, and countless dynasties rose to high positions, only to be destroyed again, in an endless cycle.
The reason this caused such a sensation was entirely because it happened in the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, and in the Divine Capital, a place of great prosperity and auspiciousness!
The three great divine kingdoms are like colossal beasts standing at the pinnacle of civilization, only occasionally concerned with the squabbles of the small fry at their feet. A mere breath from them can kill a whole bunch of them, and the small fry dare not get too close.
No low-ranking dynasties will appear around the Divine Kingdom, because the Divine Kingdom's fortune itself already has a powerful gravitational pull. Only dynasties of the Imperial rank can withstand this terrifying devouring force.
The three great divine kingdoms have existed for a very long time, countless eras.
Although there are always ambitious individuals who want to take over, the divine kingdom has stood firm for so many years.
Until someone stood atop the capital of the divine kingdom, tearing apart the kingdom's destiny.
The entire civilization was shaken.
Some panicked, fearing that the legendary great terror would descend once more, dragging the entire civilization into the abyss.
Some people were excited, believing that the coming chaos presented a golden opportunity to make a name for themselves and reshuffle the deck.
Some people suspect that this may be an elaborate hoax, since the "Enemy of the Epoch" has been gone for countless years, how could it suddenly reappear?
but no matter.
Once the news spreads, no one can stop it.
As for whether it's true or false, each person will discern it in their own mind.
The Wanchao Civilization was not the end point of the news transmission. The scandal of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom spread far beyond the star sea, and soon, the number of civilizations that knew about it increased exponentially!
After one month.
Led by Lord Lieyang, Qing Yixuan and her group finally left the borders of the Myriad Dynasties Civilization and re-entered the Starry Sea of the Heavens.
And at this time.
On the boat, Qing Yixuan and Qin Yiyao were also chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what is your opinion on the news that the great enemy of that era has not died and has reappeared?"
Having escaped the clutches of evil, and with everything at peace, Qing Yixuan was able to finally relax completely during this month, no longer constantly worried about being hunted down.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yiyao nonchalantly averted her gaze.
"It's 30% believable, and 70% a hoax."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Qing Yixuan became interested.
"People say that the great enemy of the era was annihilated in both body and spirit, leaving no trace of his body. But if that's the case, then he is dead without a trace. And he was a powerful figure that only gods could deal with. Logically and emotionally, there is no conclusive evidence to say that he is really dead."
"The fact that the gods of the Wanchao civilization could have their power divided among the living beings below makes me somewhat doubt the power of the gods."
Qin Yiyao spoke with conviction.
The fact that the supreme deity of the Wanchao civilization could end up like this is enough for her to properly disenchant the gods.
Whether the Great Enemy of the Epoch is truly dead is only known to the seven gods who besieged him, but they seem to have never said that the Great Enemy of the Epoch has been completely annihilated; it is all just lower beings speculating on divine will.
Qin Yiyao only blindly believes in her master, not in any deity.
"As for reappearing..."
She sneered, "What kind of person is the Great Enemy of the Epoch? How could he possibly show himself to take the fortune of the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom?"
"Not qualified."
Qin Yiyao did not look down on the Qinggu Divine Kingdom; it was simply the truth.
She was actually somewhat interested in it, but Gu Ce seemed to have become unreachable since that day, or rather, he was deliberately not responding.
Qin Yiyao, however, is now more concerned about the task Ling Xuzi entrusted to her.
Lord Lieyang had already left the group to meet up with the prisoners in the Epoch Cemetery. Once they met, they would head directly to the Dark Realm.
The Dark Realm is still quite a distance away.
This was the only opportunity she had to persuade Yue Ru to leave with her.
