After the Dragon Soul Divine General left, Long Chen brought the five most important people in his life back to the True Martial Emperor Palace.
The news of Long Chen's final victory had been spread to everyone through the mouth of the Desolation Emperor.
Of course, the people present could roughly guess that Long Chen had obtained the final victory when they saw the Ten Great Ghost Kings die and the evil energy dissipate from Ye Futu and Tian Yuanzi's bodies.
The news of the victory spread like wildfire in the Three Regions and Nine Realms. Countless people who were fleeing in panic stopped in their tracks and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
The doomsday that they had thought was over was just like that.
The disciples of the Emperor Palace quickly returned to the True Martial Emperor Palace after settling their affairs in the area they were stationed in.
In their hearts, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were already god-like existences because they had saved the common people.
The experts of the Three Regions and Nine Realms also gathered outside the True Martial Emperor Palace, waiting for the return of Long Chen and the others.
To be exact, it was the return of the heroes.
When they saw Long Chen and the others appear on the horizon, everyone let out a deafening cheer. The grievances between the Three Regions and Nine Realms, big and small, could be said to have come to an end after this disaster. At least for the next few hundred years, everyone would remember what happened today and live in harmony.
Long Chen, Lingxi, Mo Xiaolang, Li Xuanji, Kitten, and Yang Lingqing. Six young people walked into the view of the crowd. Among them, the most eye-catching was Long Chen. Long Chen was the core of this group and also the strongest, smartest, and most tenacious of all the geniuses.
A large number of Emperor Palace experts returned to their homes and joined the team to welcome Long Chen.
In front of countless experts, the two Martial Sovereigns, the four Sword Sovereigns, the six Demonic Sovereigns, and the remaining eight Realm Lords were looking at Long Chen with agitation in their eyes. Among them, the Desolation Emperor and the True Martial Emperor were sitting cross-legged on the ground. They had yet to recover from their injuries.
When they came back, everyone's blood was boiling. They cheered and worshipped. Even Hall Master Hanwu, who had once suppressed Long Chen, had tears in his eyes.
This was a welcome to the unparalleled hero.
Long Chen wasn't used to such a scene, but he knew that his status was different now. Right now, he was the ruler of the world. He stood at the peak of the Three Regions and Nine Realms.
He only had one year left.
Long Chen quickly walked in front of the True Martial Emperor. As for the Desolation Emperor, he was still under the control of Long Chen.
The True Martial Emperor also stood up silently. His body was thin and bloodless, but his face was covered with tears. He looked at Long Chen with excitement and gratification. He grasped Long Chen's arms tightly and said gratefully, "Child, you did it. I am proud of you, proud of you!"
For an old man like him, Long Chen had helped him fulfill his lifelong wish.
When he was about to kneel down, Long Chen held him up.
Mo Xiaolang and the others stood quietly behind Long Chen, enjoying the moment of peace and tranquility after the battle. They had always been tense, especially Long Chen. One problem after another that was difficult to solve came one after another. Only today could he say that he had let go of everything and could finally have a good rest.
"You don't have to worry about the Three Regions and Nine Realms. With the death of the City Lord of the Wronged, all the factions have sent people to reassure the people. True Martial Emperor Palace's Imperial Star has suffered great losses, but with the help of hundreds of millions of disciples, it will be restored to its former glory in less than a year. We have won completely.
Only the life and death of these two fellows will be up to you. "
The True Martial Emperor pointed at Ye Futu and Tian Yuanzi.
They were already trapped.
As for the Demon Dragon Palace Master, he wasn't one of them. At the moment, he was with Long Xing, looking at Long Chen.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Chen walked up to Ye Futu and Tian Yuanzi. When the two saw Long Chen, they were terrified and shrank back a few steps.
Everyone was curious about what Long Chen would decide. Would he be benevolent or bloodthirsty?
Long Chen stared at the two of them. He looked at Ye Futu and said slowly, "I remember you saying that we are living under the torture of the Heavenly Dao. But you have obtained eternal life, right?"
Ye Futu took a deep breath and said, "I won't answer you. You've already won. I admit defeat, but I've also contributed to the True Martial Emperor Palace. Long Chen, you don't have the right to kill me!
If you kill me, it will only expose your cruel and vengeful nature. You are not qualified to be a hero! "
Just as he finished speaking, Long Chen's Lingxi sword had already pierced his throat. Under Long Chen's powerful force, Ye Futu collapsed to the ground.
Everyone was silent.
They had once again witnessed Long Chen's ruthless methods. In fact, many people thought that Long Chen would let them go. After all, the great calamity was over, and there were few experts left. He couldn't kill anymore.
But even if Long Chen killed them, no one could say anything. This was Long Chen's style.
Next was Tian Yuanzi. He looked at Long Chen in horror.
"I hate people like you who betray your own kind the most. If Kitten hadn't received the news, the eighty million people of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace would have died at your hands. Your sins are too heavy, Tian Yuanzi."
This made the silver-haired man despair. He knelt on the ground and said hurriedly, "Forgive me, I was just blinded by greed. Don't kill me. There are many people in the Ancient Yuan Spirit World who need me. Please don't kill me."
But Long Chen shook his head. "I will not let such a heartless person live in this world."
If he didn't need to go to the Eternal Life Sacred Domain a year later, he might not have killed Tian Yuanzi. But he had to leave a year later.
Given Tian Yuanzi's strength, no one in the True Martial Emperor Palace could stop him. Long Chen couldn't let this hidden danger live.
He ended Tian Yuanzi's life in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
This returning hero was more ruthless than they had imagined. But they didn't know that Long Chen had no choice but to make up his mind. He didn't choose to explain.
"I was just exercising my responsibility."
After saying this, Long Chen returned to Zhenwu Great Emperor's side amidst the silence.
"Emperor Emperor …"
"Well done," True Martial Emperor said with a nod.
Long Chen felt much more at ease.
He could vaguely feel the changes in the lightning and flames.
"It's time to go."
True Martial Emperor smiled and said to the Demon Dragon Palace Master, who was still explaining things to Long Xing.
The Demon Dragon Palace Master nodded and brought Long Chen to Long Chen.
He said, "Long Chen, remember to take care of Long Xing. If I die, he will be the new Demon Dragon Palace Master."
The moment he was most reluctant to part with had finally arrived.
True Martial Emperor's Nirvana Tribulation was about to arrive, and the Demon Dragon Palace Master's Nirvana Tribulation had come early because of the recent battles.
When the moment finally arrived, Long Chen found himself helpless.
He could only say to the Demon Dragon Palace Master, "You still have a good chance. I can help you a little."
The Demon Dragon Palace Master smiled and shook his head. "No need. I can rely on myself. This is fate. If I can't, then I've lived enough.
No one can defy the Heavenly Dao. You have great potential, so don't do something like helping others pass the Nirvana Tribulation.
Moreover, I still have some power to fight back, but the Great Emperor … "
There was still a glimmer of hope for the Demon Dragon Palace Master, but True Martial Emperor could do nothing.
Mo Xiaolang came forward and said, "Big Brother, I should be able to help with the Hellfire Star Giant Beast, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, True Martial Emperor smiled and shook his head. "Child, there's no need.
I want to go by myself quietly. "
"Why?"
Long Chen asked excitedly. When he returned, he had been racking his brains to think of a way to help them pass the Nirvana Tribulation.
True Martial Emperor's eyes were peaceful. There was no nervousness before the great tribulation. The elder said in a calm tone, "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless. Life and death are predestined. Billions of living beings exist under the rules of the Heavenly Dao. You can help one, but you can't help billions.
You are still young and full of fighting spirit. But you must remember that there is something in this world that cannot be resisted, and that is the Heavenly Dao. "
He narrowed his eyes, raised his head to look at the sky, and said, "Look at this sky, it's endless, it's our prison.
We are born within the rules, so we must act according to the rules. "
Long Chen couldn't accept his point of view. At least, he couldn't stand by and watch Zhenwu Great Emperor be destroyed by the Nirvana Tribulation. He had originally planned to let Mo Xiaolang absorb some of the Hell Star Fire in the surroundings. Although it was extremely risky, it wasn't impossible.
Just as he was about to refute, True Martial Emperor laughed and said, "Child, you don't understand me.
I have lived long enough. My last concern is gone. It's time for me to go.
The people who were at the same time as me are all dead now. Ling Su has also left. The memories I have in this world are enough for me. Forcefully going against the Heavenly Dao to continue living won't do me any good. Can you not keep an old man who needs to be freed?
I have no regrets in this life. It's time to go. "
True Martial Emperor's words shocked Long Chen greatly.
Perhaps he could think about the meaning of life again.
"No matter who you are, you will die one day. The important thing is whether you have no regrets in this life.
Not how long you live. I leave with no regrets. Compared to those who die with regrets, I am much happier. So when I face this tribulation, you should feel happy for me, because the scene of my departure will be so shocking and magnificent. You should not be sad and remorseful. Do you understand? "
Long Chen understood everything he said.
He let go of the persistence in his heart and nodded heavily.
