Chapter 1135 - 604: True God of the Fire Department and the Twenty-Eight Constellations (Part 2)
Chapter 1135 - 604: True God of the Fire Department and the Twenty-Eight Constellations (Part 2)
In the past, there were gods, demons, and evils who came to seek refuge.
To be precise, it was various other divine and demonic forces that directly embedded them here.
But this time, outside the Holy Land, various divine demon clans were annihilated.
This supreme figure of the Holy Land also eradicated the so-called high-ups of the Holy Land.
Now, within this Holy Land, only the Human Clan remains.
Not long after, the Fire Ape Holy Land appeared before us.
The defense of the Holy Land, however, was considered quite tight.
The guards obviously recognized those several Martial Artists of the Refining Essence Realm, but they did not recognize Lin Yan.
"Recently, there's no record or image of them being dispatched outside…"
The face of the guard changed suddenly and he exclaimed, "You brought outsiders back, what is your intention?"
"Help!"
One of the Martial Artists from the Refining Essence Realm rushed forward, shouting, "This person is holding us against our will…"
With a squelching sound!
The guard cut off his head with a single strike.
Immediately, he quickly retreated intending to close the entrance of the Holy Land.
With a loud bang!
Lin Yan pressed his hand down, and mana was employed.
The Holy Land's portal swung open.
He proceeded forward and stepped inside.
Within the Holy Land, he stood with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely.
Within just a few breaths, a figure appeared as if a mountain, standing tall in the Holy Land, gazing downward.
"What vile guest has intruded?"
This phantom figure was towering, shaped like an ape, with crimson hair, a fierce face, and said chillingly, "How dare you intrude upon my Holy Land without reason?"
"Human Clan, Wu Chang."
Lin Yan stared at the fire ape's phantom, casually saying, "You, Zi Huo Monkey, one of the True Gods of the Fire Department, ranked within the Twenty-Eight Constellations, if you were resurrected, you could suppress me, but you merely inherited its dojo, how dare you flaunt before me?"
"Human Clan…"
The towering phantom paused abruptly and then gradually dissipated.
At the same time, a beam of light swiftly arrived.
The visitor was an elderly man, robustly built, dressed in a bright red robe.
His eyes showed excitement as he exclaimed, "Could it be Mr. Wu Chang who occupied the Green Emperor World, wiped out the gods and demons coalition army, his strength rivals the Heavenly God, and is supremely dominant?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Yan slowly spoke, "Do you recognize me?"
The elder immediately bowed and greeted, saying, "Naturally, the Human Clan here hasn't recognized you, but I have mixed with the gods and demons, and been considered as their offspring…"
"You annihilated the gods and demons coalition army, alarming all emperor clans, numerous royal clans felt fearful, countless divine demon clans felt utterly shocked."
"For the Human Clan, it is difficult to have mutual communication and transmission."
"But among the gods and demons, your existence is no longer a secret."
"Many divine demon clans still question whether such a powerful human clan exists in the world."
"Yet, more divine demon clans are all fearful, recently, there's trembling, gods and demons are astonished."
"I was considered by all sides to be of the same offspring as gods and demons, hence I know about this."
The current supreme figure of the Fire Ape Holy Land, bowed deeply and tearfully, excitedly said, "The Human Clan has endured shame and hardship, finally seeing a leader who can lead the race, break through shackles, shatter the cage, and establish ourselves in this world."
"But you…"
Lin Yan casually said, "Really are from the Human Clan?"
This Fire Ape Venerable fell into silence and then said, "Ever since I merged with this Holy Land suppression object, all these years, I've posed as gods and demons, also sacrificed my kin to the outside to gain trust from other divine demon clans… I've indeed been neither human nor ghost all these years…"
Lin Yan did not respond, only pondered and said, "I heard you killed all the aliens in this Holy Land?"
"These aliens, in the past, in this Holy Land, were arrogant, exhibiting their power, fiercely bloodthirsty, often fed on the Human Clan, never put me in their eyes."
The Fire Ape Venerable said solemnly, "Now that the surrounding divine demon clans have been annihilated, naturally I couldn't leave these aliens that harm my Human Clan behind…"
Lin Yan said, "Then why did you send these people out?"
"Firstly, there are many supreme treasures in the world, they might not be destroyed during Drought Demon's passing, if we can search and recover them, they would strengthen the foundation of my Human Clan."
The Fire Ape Venerable said again, "Secondly, also to find some surviving Human Clan, to bring them here for proliferation, unfortunately…"
He sighed and said, "Yet until now, no surviving lives have been seen in the outside world."
Lin Yan quietly watched him and said, "Then what about the northwest direction?"
"The personnel I sent discovered, in the northwest direction, there's a Boundary unaffected by disaster, where the Human Clan still survives."
The Fire Ape Venerable said, "Thus, I focused on searching, aiming to find the kin, to spare them from hardship…"
"So that's how it is."
Lin Yan nodded slightly and then said, "I plan to head northwest. Your men can lead the way for me."
The Fire Ape Venerable nodded immediately, excitedly saying, "To be able to serve you, and to contribute to the Human Clan, is my honor and also a chance to atone for my past sins."
Having said that, he waved his large hand and said, "With such a distinguished guest arriving, we shall hold a banquet today. I will host you well, sir."
Afterwards, Lin Yan and his party were arranged to stay in a palace within the Holy Land.
And Lin Yan leaped up, standing upon the palace, looking down over the entire Holy Land.
Yun Qing stood by his side and said, "How much can we trust the words of this current Saint Master of the Fire Ape Holy Land?"
"There are no falsehoods."
Lin Yan said, "What he said earlier, every word is true and heartfelt."
Yun Qing sighed and said, "Seems he's in a situation similar to the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master."
The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master was originally the great Venerate of the Wind Spirit Tribe.
He obtained the River Map and Luo Book and became a Saint Master.
To avoid the attacks of the surrounding gods and demons, he pretended to be a descendant of gods and demons, no longer identifying as human.
But the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master waited for Lin Yan, waited for the time when the Human Clan would capture the Green Emperor World.
He only claimed to be a descendant of gods and demons on the surface.
He did not go through times where he needed to use humans as currency, trade, or offerings to various Divine Demon Clans.
Nor did he go through times where humans were used as ingredients to host banquets for gods and demons.
Even less did he experience moments of personally 'eating humans' under the gaze of numerous gods and demons to gain their acceptance.
"His endurance and burden have lasted for decades, far beyond that of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master."
Yun Qing said, "You initially planned to kill him..."
Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "Offering his kin as sacrifices to outsiders, using his kin as currency, and even... he has eaten people!"
Pausing for a moment, Lin Yan said again, "However, if he didn't do this, the surrounding Divine Demon Clans would not tolerate a Holy Land belonging to the Human Clan, and the 30,000 or so humans of this Holy Land would not exist..."
Yun Qing said again, "Truly, in this era, having a strong figure like him who can still fight for some living space for the Human Clan is extremely rare... though the act of enduring humiliation is not honorable."
"In the past, I would have killed him without hesitation."
Lin Yan said, "But in the past, the Human Clan was too weak. He claimed to be gods and demons, using the pretext of cultivating blood food, ultimately preserving more humans..."
Sighing softly, Lin Yan's expression was complicated.
That night, a grand banquet was held.
Fine wine and gourmet dishes were served one by one.
The Fire Ape Venerable raised his glass, drinking first as a gesture of respect.
Lin Yan raised his glass to drink as well.
After the third round of drinks.
The Fire Ape Venerable bowed deeply, seeking from Lin Yan the magic method to achieve the Human Martial Saint status, asking for a path for the descendants of this Holy Land's cultivators.
"To achieve Human Martial Saint, one must first have the Landscaping Technique."
Lin Yan said, "You once reached the Creation Peak, you must have hidden this technique, but unfortunately, you are bound with the Suppression Object, cutting off your own path! Today I grant you the magic method to become a Human Martial Saint, allowing your Holy Land's descendants a broad road..."
"Thank you, sir!"
The Fire Ape Venerable lifted his head, ecstatic.
Instantly pressing his hands together.
Forming a Dharma Seal with his hands.
Substantial and firm, it struck Lin Yan's chest hard!
Lin Yan turned into a beam of light, smashing into the palace wall behind.
The palace collapsed, burying him underneath.
Instantly, the Formation rose, killing intent overflowing.
"Sir is too conceited!"
The Fire Ape Venerable laughed heartily, his body bristling with hair that grew longer, covered in red fur, transforming into a red ape.
Only to hear him grimly say, "Do you know that back then, my Inner Realm Divine Domain was modeled after the Heavenly God's dojo of the Plague Department!"
Boom!
In the ruins among the broken walls.
Brilliant golden light.
Lin Yan revealed the Vajra Indestructible Holy Body, sighed and said, "I already didn't want to kill you, but why did you have to?"
"If you don't die, I cannot find peace for eternity."
The Fire Ape Venerable's eyes flashed with a trace of sorrow, saying, "Your existence in the world makes me seem utterly despicable..."
Lin Yan, hearing this, sighed and said, "So among the sixteen people back then, you were one of them."
