What was certain was that Long Chen had the Blood of Goddess Ling Su and the Spirit Emperor's inheritance. Although he didn't know if Celestial Emperor Ling Su still existed, he definitely wouldn't harm Lingxi.
Arriving at the Sky Supreme Sword Ocean, at least it meant that Lingxi was safe.
Moreover, she had fully recovered without any injuries. This was all thanks to Celestial Emperor Ling Su.
Moreover, Spiritual Sword and Plain Sword were protecting her.
She might even be able to profit from this disaster and obtain the inheritance in the Sky Supreme Sword Ocean.
Based on her understanding of the Ling Su Star Ocean and Celestial Emperor Ling Su, from the moment Lingxi Sword came into contact with Lingxi, she began to have a close connection with Celestial Emperor Ling Su. She activated the Blood of Goddess Ling Su, received the Spirit Emperor's inheritance, and met with Plain Sword in the Ling Su Star Ocean. Now, both Plain Sword and Spiritual Sword were gathered. Moreover, Lingxi had completely accepted the Spirit Emperor's inheritance and reached the Half-Step Divine Spirit Realm.
Presumably, the traces left by Celestial Emperor Ling Su that Long Chen and the others were looking for had long noticed her. It was just that at this critical moment, it brought her to the place where she should go.
"Don't worry. The world here is very friendly to me. Everything is peaceful here. Nothing should happen to me and my child. If anything happens, I will definitely tell you in advance. Chen, don't worry about me. I won't die …"
After experiencing the most hair-raising life and death crisis, now that they had survived this tribulation, the two of them felt their hearts turn cold. Ling Xi was still in good condition, so she was worried that Long Chen would lose control because he was worried about her.
"I know in my heart that you are much stronger than I thought."
Long Chen understood one thing. If he loved someone deeply and protected her under his wings, she would be safe and would not encounter any danger. However, because of this, she would also become weak and lose the ability to resist danger. Perhaps this change would allow Lingxi to escape from the greenhouse that he had created for her. Just like when they first met, she would always be of great help to him. Perhaps to her, that was her value.
Lingxi was very peaceful at the side of the Sky Supreme Sea of Swords. Long Chen could even see what she was looking at. It was a similarly boundless starry sky. Lingxi was standing on a greatsword that seemed to have been carved out of a meteorite, heading into the distance. Around her, there were countless greatswords forged from meteorites. These greatswords were comparable to stars, replacing the positions of the stars in the starry sky.
Every meteorite sword was extremely ancient and mottled, filled with the marks of time. There seemed to be many complicated patterns on them. They seemed simple, but they actually contained deep laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Lingxi was now drifting in this endless starry sky.
She wasn't someone without a temper after suddenly encountering such a murderous intent.
At this moment, her voice was trembling as she asked, "Chen, did you see who's going to attack me? I don't think I've offended anyone, right?"
Lingxi had always been under Long Chen's protection, living in harmony with everyone. It was even more impossible for her to offend such an expert.
Long Chen took a deep breath and his eyes flickered with killing intent. "It's the Godking of Hell."
Lingxi, who was standing on the ancient sword, was stunned. Her eyes were vaguely ferocious and filled with doubt. She said in disbelief, "How could this be? I've never had any interactions with this Godking of Hell. Why would he hide it from you and secretly kill me?"
Long Chen was also confused.
Murderous intent flickered in his eyes as he said, "We don't need to think too much about it. When the day comes when I slaughter him, we'll naturally know the result. Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. If I'm impulsive, I won't be able to kill him. For now, the reason is no longer important."
Long Chen hadn't felt so much hatred in a long time. When he fought against the Primeval Troll, compared to the hatred he felt, the solemnity of saving the common people was greater. It was his responsibility. But now, this kind of personal hatred wasn't any weaker than it was back then. He used to think that the Godking of Hell was a good elder, but now, he was a personal grudge that made Long Chen want to kill 10,000 times over.
"I hate him."
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. When he returned from the Spirit Essence Star Ocean, he encountered the return of the deities. From the beginning, Long Chen didn't trust them, and now, he didn't trust them even more.
"Although I don't know the reason, I must take revenge. Not only did he almost kill me, but he also almost killed our child. If it wasn't for the Three Lifetimes Emotion Thread and Deity Emperor Ling Su, my child and I would have left you. I can't imagine what this means to you … If it was me, I'm afraid that the world would collapse and everything would be meaningless. There would only be two things, revenge and death …" Lingxi was a very gentle person. She had grown up by Long Chen's side. From being lively and cute, to being gentle and considerate as a wife. But at this moment, the Godking of Hell's massacre had ignited the fire in her heart, igniting the killing intent that she had hidden for countless years.
It was because of her child, and also because she doted on Long Chen.
If she lost her child, if Long Chen suffered for all living beings, then this hatred would be huge. If they weren't lucky, the Godking of Hell would have almost made Lingxi suffer the most terrible torture in the world. Even a clay figurine would have a temper.
"I want revenge. Chen, wait for me. I must make him regret what he did today. He almost made me lose everything."
Crystal clear tears swirled in her eyes. Lingxi gently wiped away the tears, but her eyes became brighter. For the sake of her child and husband, she held the sword in her heart.
Long Chen saw the change in her.
He couldn't say anything. No matter what kind of life style Lingxi chose, she would always be the one he loved the most. Her original heart wouldn't change. Because of love, she chose to raise her child with love. Because of love, she chose to take up a weapon.
"It's my fault for being too comfortable. I mistakenly thought that this was a peaceful and grand event. I didn't expect that there would be a turbulent undercurrent. It's even more terrifying than I imagined. From today onwards, I will accompany you to the end. Little Xi, no matter who wants to touch you and your daughter, I will make them pay a heavy price."
This assassination had completely changed their mentality. From docile sheep, they had turned into cruel, hungry wolves. From today onwards, Long Chen had once again become a person who carried hatred. This hatred was boundless. Regardless of whether the Godking of Hell succeeded or not, at least he had already done this, so he would have to pay a heavy price.
"Chen, promise me one thing."
Lingxi bit her pink lips and said seriously.
"Say it."
"When I come back, I want to fight side by side with you, just like how we used to be. I don't want to be a burden to you. I want to face everything together with you, such as revenge. I'm a mother now, I can't be the same as before. I have the two most important people in my life now. I have to work hard. I don't want to be a woman who can't even protect her child and husband. I don't want to lose you two. Both of you are more important than my own life … I don't want her to be killed before she can see the world, and I don't want you to suffer for the rest of your life because of me … So, I have to work harder, and work harder …"
Long Chen was shocked.
All along, he had been neglecting Ling Xi's thoughts. He had always felt that it would be fine for her to just obediently stay in the greenhouse he had created for her. She would have to face all her sufferings by herself, and this was extremely unfair to her. He had not sufficiently respected her thoughts. Although she was so important to him, wasn't it the same for him as well? She was afraid that she would suffer for the rest of her life, and after this lesson, she would most likely not let herself slack off ever again.
Only by breaking free from the cage could she go further and not need his protection.
His love was the cage that trapped her.
Long Chen understood. He nodded heavily and said, "From today on, we will change our habits and ways. I will respect any choice you make, and I will take care of myself. When you come back, we will work together to take revenge."
"You have to face this rationally. After all, behind the God King of Hell, there may be other God Kings, or even God Emperors."
"I understand."
Long Chen took a deep breath.
Revenge had begun.
He suddenly grinned and sneered coldly. He once thought that after defeating the Era Demon, his life's mission was over, and he could start to live a comfortable life. He didn't expect that was not the case. The Gods might be a new disaster for him.
He had never been afraid of fighting or fighting. He was only afraid of treating the enemy as one of his own. That would be terrible. He had learned his lesson and almost lost the most important person in his life. That was enough.
When Lingxi was moving forward for her dream, it was time for Long Chen to continue acting. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Before he was sure, he wouldn't give himself away. As for the God King of Hell, he would just pretend that he had never seen him.
This was the agreement between him and Lingxi.
Protecting oneself well was the greatest love for one's lover.
After the agreement, it was time to launch a counterattack. Long Chen cleared his throat and called Mo Xiaolang, Soyeon, and Kitten over. They still didn't know what had happened.
Hearing Long Chen's urgent shout, Mo Xiaolang and the other two quickly appeared. As soon as they saw Long Chen's red eyes full of killing intent, they were startled and asked, "Big Brother, what happened?"
"Big Brother, is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Long Chen stared at them and said, "From today onwards, you have to remember one thing. It's very important."
Seeing Long Chen's solemn expression, even Kitten didn't dare to joke around.
"Speak."
Long Chen said word by word, "Today, just a moment ago, Lingxi was killed by a God King."
The three turned pale with fright. This news was undoubtedly terrifying, but Long Chen's current situation was still good. It wasn't to the extent that Lingxi was killed.
"This is for you to remember. The process is like this. When I was cultivating, he used a mysterious' sleeping fragrance '. It should be a Primordial Immortal Essence. It made me fall into a deep sleep. Then, he opened my Divine Kingdom and killed Lingxi and my child. He is very powerful. I don't know who he is. Now, I am filled with hatred and pain."
