No one could afford to lose after forcing themselves to a dead end.
Especially Ling Huang. He never thought that he would lose. Not only did he have the Spiritual Elder's inheritance in his bet, he also had to die. Death was not scary, but if he lost the Spiritual Elder's inheritance, he would be the greatest sinner of the Spirit Clan. At least a million years later, he would be a joke.
At the same time, his decision would bring an unimaginable disaster to the Spirit Clan … Of course, that was what he thought. It was crazy to let a human rule the Spirit Clan.
Ling Huang only dared to be so confident because he had the Illustration of All Living Beings. When Long Chen made the second bet, he immediately agreed, as if the Spiritual Elder's inheritance was not important at all.
He never thought that he would lose the Spiritual Elder's inheritance.
But now, he remembered that a month ago, this young man did not lose his mind when his woman's life was in his hands. Instead, he made the bet with him. Until today, when he saw the result, Ling Huang finally knew how terrifying he was. For this result, Long Chen had already paid with his life.
But in the end, he still won completely.
Ling Huang had turned the tables once. But now, he had lost everything. It was impossible to turn the tables again.
He had too much glory in his life. He was a legend. But at this moment, he was so defeated that he did not have the courage to open his eyes and look at Long Chen. He could not face this opponent that he was afraid of even in his old age. Only now did he understand the difference between Long Chen and Long Qinglan.
Long Qinglan was strong, but he was not a natural fighter.
Long Chen, on the other hand, was born to kill in every aspect, be it his mind, thoughts, willpower, spirit, physical body, or actions. Even though his current strength was not as great as Long Qinglan's, he could create miracles just by relying on his willpower.
This was not just a victory in battle, but also a victory in psychological warfare.
It was not until Long Chen spoke that people realized the battle was already over.
After driving the old man to his altar, Long Chen found that he was rapidly aging. In the blink of an eye, his hair had turned white, his face was full of wrinkles, his body was hunched, and he was trembling. He had lived a glorious life, but because of one thought, he lost everything. He had been abandoned for so many years, and his life had been ruined.
Long Chen couldn't be blamed for this. From the moment he set up the Loss Spiritual Formation, he had found himself an opponent who was destined to make him walk on the path of death. Now, the era was different, and a new legend had been born. However, the Spirit Emperor didn't believe it. He still believed that no one could surpass his legend. It was precisely because he couldn't accept this new reality that he had lost everything today.
For this moment, Long Chen had sacrificed too much.
He had not come to this place because he was softhearted. He put down the sword in his hand. The wish power of the masses had seriously injured Ling Huang. At this time, Ling Huang could not escape from his grasp. At this moment, he announced in a loud voice, "The outcome of the battle between me and Ling Huang has been revealed. I have won, and Ling Huang has lost. This is an unchangeable fact. There were many twists and turns in this battle, and there are many things that you do not understand. But there is no need to talk about it. Ling Huang is incomparably strong, and I respect his strength. But for this battle, I have also sacrificed a lot, just so that I can live. I hope that everyone in the world will support the two of us in fulfilling our promise, the bet."
The last two words reverberated between heaven and earth.
Now, Ling Huang had lost his will to fight. He had fallen into fear and sadness. He could no longer reverse the situation like before. Just as Long Chen had said, the outcome had been revealed. Although no one wanted to face such an outcome, and most people would not be able to accept the defeat of any one of them, a bet was a bet, and the rules were rules. If it was broken at this time, then everything that had been done before would be meaningless.
However, after Long Chen had cut off the connection between the Illustration of All Living Beings and Ling Huang, the people of the Spirit Race had woken up. They clearly knew the cause and effect. They knew that when Ling Huang killed Long Chen, he did not show any mercy. It would be ridiculous to say that he had shown mercy at this time.
If Long Chen had not stopped, Ling Huang would have been dead by now.
At this time, the experts of the Demon Race, the Sea Race, and the Sorcerer Race all widened their eyes. They had already confirmed this unbelievable fact in their hearts. That was, Long Chen might rule this world, just like the Eternal Dragon Emperor. He might even be more heaven-defying than the Eternal Dragon Emperor.
At this point, no one could change this fact.
Therefore, what they had to do was to let go of everything and make friends with this terrifying expert who was born miraculously. Only in this way could their race have a hope of survival. According to what they knew, Long Chen was not a cruel person. He was even peace-loving and respected every life.
As for the experts of the Human Race, they did not think too much. From the beginning to the end, they only wanted one thing, and that was for Long Chen to be safe. Now that he was finally safe, everyone felt extremely happy. Of course, what made them even happier was that after this battle, Long Chen had completely overshadowed Ling Huang. Now, he was the number one expert in the whole Dragon Sacrificial Realm.
He was the supreme expert of this world.
At such a young age, he had become such a legend. He was even more heaven-defying than Long Qinglan. Thinking of Long Chen's future, even the Dragon Emperor was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he could not even speak clearly.
There were more people of the Spirit Race here.
At this time, no words could describe the pain and sadness in their hearts. Ling Huang was their spiritual pillar. Even though most of them did not like Ling Huang, they did not want this pillar of the Spirit Race to die. The Spiritual Elder's inheritance was the foundation of the Spirit Race's inheritance, and no one wanted it to fall into the hands of an outsider.
Therefore, at this time, they could do nothing but silently kneel on the ground. Many of them were crying, including the Goddess's Heart and the others. Because the Goddess's Heart had helped Long Chen, they also had a certain amount of responsibility at this time. Under the pleading of the elders of the Spirit Race, the Goddess's Heart's Holy Spirit said, "Long Chen, on behalf of the people of the Spirit Race, I beg you to let our Ling Huang live. At the same time, please do not take away our Spiritual Elder's inheritance. If you do, the entire Spirit Race will be destroyed. Please consider the people of the Spirit Race …"
After she finished speaking, countless people of the Spirit Race kowtowed to Long Chen.
If they had a choice, of course they would not have done this.
Long Chen's gaze was calm. Perhaps he had already expected this scene. At this time, Ling Huang did not say anything. He was still immersed in that terrible pain. Long Chen said sincerely to the Spirit Race, "Everyone, please listen to me. First of all, rules are rules. Back then, Ling Huang planted the Lost Spiritual Formation on my beloved and threatened me with her life. He used my unborn child as a wager. As her husband and father, I had no choice but to do everything I could. I almost died in the Spirit Zun Residence several times before I finally succeeded in the challenge. Everyone should know that if anything happened to me, my family of three would be shattered, and it might even lead to more disasters. But I persevered, and with my perseverance, I won in the end." "When I fought Ling Huang, it was the same.
"It was the same when I fought against Spirit Emperor, and I even died once. I sacrificed so much for all of this, and I trembled in fear, all for one word: fairness. I'm not Spirit Emperor, who can be high and mighty, pointing fingers at others, and joking with the lives of me and the woman I love. I've sacrificed everything, and I deserve what I've gotten today. If I spared his life, and returned the Spirit Emperor's inheritance to you, then what was the point of everything I've done before? I followed the rules, and I almost lost my life, and I made the people who love me suffer for the rest of their lives. I took such risks and paid such a price, and I won, but I have to give it away. That's impossible. Everyone has to pay the price for their stupid decisions, and that's karma. If there's no karma in this world, and everyone thinks that evil people can be forgiven, and they don't have to pay the price, then this world will lose its rules, and it won't just be the Spirit Clan that perishes, but all living beings in the world."
Everything he said was from the bottom of his heart.
There was nothing wrong with what he had said. The Spirit Race knew how excessive their demands were, but their starting point was only for the sake of the Spirit Race.
"In other words, if I lose today, Ling Huang will kill me quickly, and he won't give me any chance to plead for mercy. He will even take away my child in the future to carry out the Spirit Zun Inheritance. I can't resist all of this, and I can't kneel down and plead for mercy. All of this is unnecessary."
When he spoke up to here, he looked at the Spirit Emperor and said, "Moreover, all of you don't have to plead for mercy from the Spirit Emperor at all. He doesn't have any intention to continue living. If it was me, then according to the bet, I would take care of myself as well. Who would be able to endure living in this world?"
The Spirit Race raised their heads in despair. As expected, Ling Huang seemed to have lost all signs of life. Even though he was still alive, his heart might have already died.
From the beginning to the end, Long Chen's words were reasonable and reasonable.
The Dragon Emperors also laughed mockingly. They didn't like the Spirit Race in the first place, and they hated the Spirit Race to this extent. They had almost given up their lives for the victory, but they wanted Long Chen to give it away. Not to mention that Long Chen didn't agree, they wouldn't agree either.
"Rules are rules. If there were no rules, why are we gathered here today? Are we going to kneel down and plead for mercy?"
"That's right. My friends from the Spirit Race, please keep your promise. If you lose, you should be able to accept the loss, so that you won't become a laughing stock."
Even though the Spirit Race was the one being suppressed, and they looked pitiful, not many people sympathized with them. Even though the Monster Race and the other two Clans didn't want the Spirit Zun Inheritance to fall into Long Chen's hands, they didn't dare to help the Spirit Race. After all, the Spirit Race's demands didn't conform to the rules.
