The reason why he had chosen to speak of this matter at this moment was to give an answer to the Black Hell Emperor's previous doubts and clamor.
This was also the moment that Long Chen had been looking forward to the most over the past few years.
Ever since he had arrived in the Eternal God Domain, there had not been a day that he had not dreamed of fulfilling his father's dying wish. He wanted to wipe away all the slander, criticism, and disdain that he had suffered.
This was the final wish of the man who had given him everything.
It was also Long Chen's destiny, wish, and goal for many years. For this day, Long Chen had risked his life. In fact, he had not even taken good care of Lingxi or his brothers.
Now, this moment had finally arrived.
If he had not already matured, his eyes would definitely be brimming with hot tears at this moment. Right now, he only wanted to let Long Qinglan know that he was about to accomplish everything that he had entrusted to him.
Now, he adjusted his breathing and calmed his heart. He was going to reveal this past event to the world and correct that incorrect part of history.
His voice resounded throughout the Dragon God Domain.
"My fellow humans, my brothers and sisters, today, I, Long Chen, will reveal the true truth to all of you. That's right, I am vindicating my father and clearing his name. The reason why I came to the Eternal God Domain and became stronger was all for this one and only goal. For this moment today, I have already poured in countless blood, sweat, and tears, and I have even nearly stepped into the gates of hell several times. However, I, Long Chen, have succeeded. I have not let down the expectations that my father had for me. From now on, I will clearly explain to all of you the two most important events that happened back then. At the same time, I would also like to apologize to all of you for these two events."
He did not hold back his hot tears. Instead, he made his announcement in a majestic and surging voice. His voice drowned out all the other voices, causing everyone in the Dragon God Domain to shut their mouths and listen to him.
The moment had finally arrived.
Under the gazes of the fifteen Dragon Emperors and the bewildered gaze of the Black Hell Emperor, he continued, "Previously, Chen Ting mentioned that my father had poured in countless blood, sweat, and tears for the human race, but in the end, because of two mistakes, he fell into the abyss. I believe that back then, no one could have imagined that the Eternal Dragon Emperor, who ruled over the entire human race, would disappoint all of you to such an extent. Because of this, everyone was angry and filled with hatred. However, I hope that all of you can understand why an ordinary peerless genius, a king who loved his people, would have such a change. Is there really no reason for this? I, Long Chen, have come here to find this reason."
At this moment, he raised his voice and continued, "The first matter is about the Battlefield of the Deities. That time, when he reappeared, he was like a crazed demon, and wanted to destroy the Battlefield of the Deities. He fought with the fifteen Dragon Emperors and even injured countless experts. This was also the time that everyone was most disappointed in him. Now, this matter has been clearly proven that it was because he was affected by the Primordial Spirit Assimilation Technique. The five Dragon Emperors were also affected and destroyed all the god statues. Let's not talk about what happened with the seventy-two god corpses under the Deity Ocean for now, and let's not talk about what the Battlefield of the Deities is about, but at that time, everything that my father did was not his original intention. Therefore, he is the same as the five Dragon Emperors today. He is not guilty."
Everyone agreed on this point.
If he was guilty, then all five Dragon Emperors were guilty today.
The entire Dragon God Domain was listening attentively to Long Chen's words. Now that everything about the Battlefield of the Deities had become a mystery, the seventy-two Divine Cities were also suspicious of him and no longer believed him.
In reality, they were also full of doubts about what had happened to Long Qinglan in the past. If the Battlefield of the Deities was not his fault, then in reality, Long Qinglan had only caused trouble for the people of the world because of how he had handled the matter of the Devil Star. In that case, how could this matter be explained? How could he have such a turning point?
This was what Long Chen truly wanted to announce today.
This time, he spoke of the eternal mystery of the Devil Star in a narrating tone. In fact, it was likely that no one in the entire Dragon God Domain knew about it before this, because apart from Long Qinglan, no one had ever entered the Devil Star and come out.
He started with the identities of Yi Xue and Meng Hen, followed by the Primeval Troll 'Ta', and then Long Qinglan entered the Devil Star in search of the path to godhood, and received a request from the awakened bloodline. He could not bear to see so many people live in that abyss of suffering forever, so he decided to help. After all, most of them were part of the human race.
However, he and all the other Freedom Demons did not expect that after Ta had awakened, his will could cross such a long distance and affect the demons. It did not matter if he affected the demons. If Long Qinglan was not affected, he could completely control everyone under his control. Unfortunately, he also did not expect that he would be remembered by the Primeval Troll.
Because the two people from the Devil Star had confirmed these ancient secrets, no one doubted it. This was something that even the fifteen Dragon Emperors did not know. Back then, Long Qinglan had been too proud and aloof, so proud and aloof that he did not tell the fifteen Dragon Emperors his true intentions and thoughts, causing everyone to think that he was selfish and only released the demons for the sake of godhood.
Now that they thought about it carefully, what did becoming a god have to do with releasing the demons?
This was the true truth. He only wanted to help others out of kindness. It was a mistake caused by kindness. For a leader, it was not a deliberate mistake, but he was despised so much. This was not fair. "This is the true truth about the Devil Star.
Perhaps because it involved too many things, he did not say anything after the disaster. What happened next, what kind of danger he experienced, that he disappeared from everyone's sight and did not return until the Battlefield of the Gods. I don't know, perhaps no one knows, but from the Battlefield of the Gods and the Primeval Troll, we know that the Human Race is not at ease. He may not even be the strongest existence in the world. There are people in this world who can kill him, but unfortunately, we do not know his difficulties. Now, everything has come to light. Although he made a mistake because of kindness, he contributed so much to the Human Race. He was the strongest human in a million years.
Now, Long Chen had vented all the anger in his heart.
Yes, this was not fair.
It was just that the people back then were too shocked and disappointed, and they couldn't get any explanation. Even the fifteen Dragon Emperors didn't know what had happened, so under the chain reaction, it caused all the public opinion in the world to slander and defame him.
Now that his son had returned with an explanation, everything should really disappear. In this matter, Long Qinglan had made a certain mistake, and the people of the world also had their own mistakes, especially the 15 Dragon Emperors. They did not stop the public opinion that had gone out of control, and allowed it to be passed down from generation to generation. They spread the anger in their hearts to the entire Human Race, causing everyone to forget his achievements and his strength after so many years.
When Long Chen finished saying all this, everyone lowered their heads in silence.
They were in pain, because of anger and unwillingness, but they had discredited the strongest human leader in a million years, and even made him die with everlasting regret. They had made him entrust his son to do all this for them.
In fact, Long Chen had relied on himself to understand all this.
Silence, panic, self-blame. Perhaps their hearts had truly changed over the years. It was just as Chen Ting had said. They had been selfish, fawning on the rich and powerful, and had been blinded by hatred. But now, the truth of Long Chen's actions had caused them to truly wake up. To humans, mistakes were unavoidable. But if they could repent and accept the truth, then Long Chen was willing to inherit his father's will, to protect the common people, and to love them.
Perhaps, a united Human Race was Long Qinglan's true hope.
Today, Chen Ting had challenged this unity, and Long Chen had used his sincerity to exchange for this unity.
Everyone was thinking and looking at the people around them. No one could deny that they had participated in discrediting their greatest leader for so many years, and had even spread his anger to the next generation. These were all mistakes, and everyone was at fault. However, Long Chen needed everyone to change, reflect, and then create a truly great and united Human Race.
In all this, the 15 Dragon Emperors were the greatest sinners, and also the ones who needed to reflect the most.
After hearing all this, as Long Qinglan's adoptive father, the eternal Dragon Emperor who had despised him the most, tears streamed down his face, and his body trembled as he stared blankly at Long Chen. He could not forget that it was Long Chen who had used the fire of life to heal his injuries, and how many things he had done to Long Qinglan over the years.
"Everyone, I have made a mistake."
The Eternal Dragon Emperor mustered his courage at this moment. His wizened voice reverberated across the world. As a dragon emperor, he could not suppress the trembling in his heart. He said, "As his godfather, I did not become the person he communicated with. In fact, I was strict with him and alienated him. As a result, we did not know the inside story of the Mo Xing incident. This is the mistake of the 15 dragon emperors. This is the first major mistake. I can't think of any way to punish myself."
He could barely control his emotions, and it was the Dragon Emperor who held him up.
Long Chen took a deep breath when he finally heard this stubborn old man say such words. His eyes couldn't help but turn red. If his father could hear these words, perhaps he would be happy and gratified. In the end, he still did it.
The eternal Dragon Emperor's wizened face moved the world.
