As the sound of Fufeng's voice faded, everyone turned their heads and stared outside. A black-robed young man descended from the sky like the wind, appearing in the sky.
When they saw Qin Shi, Qin Shi also saw them. After that, he involuntarily smiled bitterly, "Everyone's here."
Although Qin Shi was already prepared in his heart, he knew that there was a high possibility that he would meet some people he had always wanted to ask about. But now that he personally saw that each and every one of them had a cultivation base above the Samsara realm, he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
Among those present, Qin Shi recognized Fufeng, Tai Yuan, Chi Xiao, Donkey Ruhua, Old Urchin, Number One Sword Under Heaven, Mythical Parasol Tree, etc … there were also a few he didn't know. However, each and every one of them had strength that couldn't be underestimated. Qin Shi knew that these people were the ones who fought against the Human Emperor during the Ancient Era.
"Brat, you're here." Upon seeing Qin Shi, Fufeng stroked his beard and smiled.
Upon seeing Fufeng, Qin Shi also had a bitter smile on his face. Honestly speaking, he had never imagined that he would meet Fufeng under such circumstances. The first time he met Fufeng, it was in the ancient city of Desolation. Because Fufeng didn't brag, he attracted Qin Shi's attention. Fufeng said that they were fated and gave Qin Shi the Book of Incineration.
And all of this started from that time. In the blink of an eye, over twenty years had passed. Qin Shi involuntarily sighed.
"Hehe, actually twenty years ago, you already knew that such a day would come, right?"
Fufeng smiled. "I knew, but I couldn't be sure. Actually, I'm also very surprised that you could persevere until now."
"You guys have already calculated everything about me. My family, my friends, how can I not persevere?"
Qin Shi laughed. If he had a choice, he truly wouldn't choose to be the savior of the world. But he knew that he had no choice. Sometimes, he could bear it, but he couldn't let it go. Once he let it go, the Qin Sect, the Qin Palace, Chi Yan, and all the people he cared about would be destroyed.
"The Human Emperor sacrificed a great deal for the world back then. All living beings in this world owe him. You owe him, and you owe him. This is your mission."
"What a big hat."
Qin Shi rolled his eyes at Fufeng. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Shouldn't you tell me something next?"
Fufeng turned around and looked at the crowd. At this time, Tai Yuan took the initiative and said with a smile, "Little friend, during the battle of Human Sovereign, he turned the last of his power into a Secret Palace and left it for his descendants to fight against the group of puppets. Only the people chosen by him can open the Secret Palace. Now, the world is in chaos, Zhe Tian's resurrection has begun, so we need someone to open the Secret Palace."
"This person can only be you," Chi Xiao said.
Was this also arranged in advance?
Hearing Tai Yuan and Chi Xiao's words, Qin Shi suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He had lived for decades, but he had always been in the palm of one person's hand. Although he didn't know who this person was, he knew that he had always been like a puppet on a string, being led by someone from the beginning to the end.
Qin Shi smiled a little unhappily. However, after so many times, he was already used to it. Other than following the arrangements of his fate, he had no other choice. Therefore, he smiled as if he had accepted his fate. "Since it's like this, let's open it. I want to see what this ancestor of mine left for me in the end."
"The Will of Reincarnation!"
Fufeng said faintly, "Every Mandate of Heaven has its own perception of life and death, it has its own Will of Reincarnation. Your Mandate of Heaven was discovered by the Human Sovereign from his fate thirty thousand years ago. It is the only Mandate of Heaven in this world that can compete with Zhe Tian. In this world, there are only two Mandates of Heaven.
Therefore, your path of reincarnation will be more difficult than anyone else's. "
"Inside this Secret Palace is the Will of Reincarnation that can open your path of reincarnation." Fufeng said.
"How long will it take for Zhe Tian to be resurrected?"
Qin Shi nodded. After knowing what happened in the Secret Palace, he was now more concerned about Zhe Tian. According to the fate, he had already started to compete with Zhe Tian, so he wanted to know how long it would take for Zhe Tian to be resurrected.
"I don't know. Zhe Tian has found a way to break through to the Emperor Realm, but this method is only known by you, none of us."
"The fate has been operating for so long, it is no longer something we can control. Next, it is time for you to work hard."
When Fufeng spoke up to here, his expression became extremely solemn. At this moment, Qin Shi truly sensed traces of the might of an Ancient Lord from Fufeng. "However, all of us will do our best to assist you and protect this world."
Qin Shi nodded. No matter what, he had to open the Secret Palace first and step into reincarnation. If he didn't reach the Reincarnation Realm, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand with these Ancient Lords. If he couldn't defeat a Demon King, how could he save the world?
How could he protect it?
"In that case, let's open it." Qin Shi said.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Han Tao suddenly stepped forward. Then, he strangely smiled at Qin Shi and said, "Brat, before opening the Secret Palace, shouldn't we first fulfill our agreement?"
Seeing Han Tao, everyone frowned slightly. Gu Lie, Venerable Fiery Poison, and Elder Taiyuan shouted almost at the same time. "Han Tao, don't be unreasonable. Time is of the essence now, not a child's play. Your agreement is a reason for him to work harder. Now that you have seen it, he has reached the Death Realm. This strength is enough to open the Secret Palace."
"If he has enough, so do I!"
Han Tao's voice suddenly rose a few decibels. "There is no hierarchy in this world. He has worked hard for decades, and I have also worked hard for tens of thousands of years. I'm not denying him, I just feel that if he is not as good as me, then I can also protect this world!"
Hearing Han Tao's words, Fu Feng frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Han Tao looked at Qin Shi seriously. "Kid, you are the descendant of the Human Emperor. I have never seen the Human Emperor, but my ancestor also sacrificed his life to protect this world. Now that the world is in a crisis, I don't have any other intentions. If you can fulfill your agreement, then I will follow you. But if you can't, I won't let everything that my ancestor sacrificed back then be handed over to a useless kid."
Qin Shi glanced at Han Tao and chuckled. "To be honest, if I had a choice, I would really throw the role of savior to you. I'm really not interested. However, it's a pity that there are some people I want to protect in this world. I can't hand them over to you."
"Since that's the case, then fulfill your agreement."
Han Tao paused and said, "The original agreement was five years, but now it's not five years yet. So if you can block one of my moves, you win. Do you dare?"
"Han Tao!"
Tai Yuan frowned. He knew Han Tao's strength best. He had seen Han Tao's efforts in the past tens of thousands of years. In fact, for a while, they really considered whether they should focus on training Han Tao to become the successor of the Human Emperor and find a way to break through to the Emperor Realm to stop the Ming Group.
Unfortunately, they failed later. Coupled with the appearance of Qin Shi and his amazing performance in the past decades, they gave up the idea.
But now, although Qin Shi had reached the Death Realm, it was not easy to block a full blow from Han Tao. After all, Han Tao's strength could fight against a Demon King of the Ming Group. Although it was difficult for him to win, it was easy for him to block thousands of moves.
In front of a real Demon King, Qin Shi had no chance of winning.
"Fine. However, there is no need for one move. Within ten moves, if I can defeat you, it will be considered my win. If I lose, you can open this Secret Palace as you said. After all, this will only prove that you are more capable than me," Qin Shi said.
"Nonsense!"
Hearing Qin Shi's words, Tai Yuan blew his beard. The Secret Palace was related to the safety of the world, but now it was like a game to these two.
"Elder Tai Yuan, I'm serious. You chose me, and the world chose me. If I don't even have this ability, I'm not qualified to talk about protection."
Qin Shi said, then he looked at Han Tao. "However, I have a condition. I want to use some external force."
"What external force?"
"Evil demon, come out!" Qin Shi shouted directly. The evil demon transformed and wrapped around Qin Shi's body.
As soon as the evil demon appeared, Qin Shi looked at Han Tao. "The evil demon and I are two of the same fate. The next battle of the world is also a battle between the two of us, so I think you won't mind if the two of us join forces, right?"
Seeing the evil demon, Han Tao frowned obviously. Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable, one of the two ancient demon venerables. Just this name alone made Han Tao feel a little fear. But soon, Han Tao also found that the evil demon seemed to only have half of its power. Although it had entered the reincarnation cycle, it had not reached the ethereal level.
Han Tao chuckled. "Then it's settled. Ten moves. If you win, you'll be responsible for defending this world. I'll do everything in my power to help you. But if you lose, I don't want the work of my ancestors to be handed over to someone who can't do anything."
"Okay!" Qin Shi agreed easily.
Looking at the two of them, everyone felt helpless. But at this time, Fu Feng smiled. He waved his hand, and suddenly an ethereal place appeared in the sky. There were billions of stars there, and it was barren.
"Since you two want to fight, then fight here."
Seeing the ethereal place, Qin Shi was slightly shocked. Is this the power of the Ethereal Realm?
They can create such a vast space at will.
