Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 100 The End of Darkness, the Dawn of Dawn

"At the end of darkness, there will surely be the dawn, and that light will surely be brought by you."

Chen Zidian claimed he only had five years to live, but in his eyes he seemed to see the end of the dark ages and the return of light.

His words shocked everyone. No one had expected that Chen Zidian, one of the strongest people in the world, would value this group of young people so much.

Keep in mind that they are all newly formed demon hunters, and each of them is still very young, with the oldest being no more than twenty-five years old.

"The Child of Light and the Holy Maiden of Reincarnation have appeared at the same time, and there is another... It is not too much to place great expectations on you, so work hard, children. That day will come soon."

Chen Zidian ultimately swallowed the truth about Chen Ying'er's identity as the Soul Saintess and Bai Xi's special status.

It's not a matter of trust or not; some things are too important for the fewest people to know about them.

He placed his gentle gaze on Bai Xi and said softly, "I should leave now. Will you see me off?"

"I?"

Although Bai Xi didn't understand why Chen Zidian brought her up, she didn't sense any malice from him and nodded anyway.

The moment she agreed, specks of golden light reached out towards her. It was gentle, and carried a faint sense of familiarity. Bai Xi did not refuse, and disappeared with Chen Zidian in the golden light.

In a flash, the two were standing on the Demon Exorcism Pass, with the vast Demon Exorcism Pass beneath their feet, and their bodies were surrounded by a faint golden light.

You must be wondering why I treat you so specially, right?

"Actually, you are indeed the most special one."

"The Son of Light and the Saintess of Reincarnation are extremely important to the Knights Temple and the Assassins Temple, but you are even more important to the Alliance."

"You should have already felt this way by now."

Chen Zidian asked in a gentle voice.

Bai Xi nodded; she had indeed sensed something a long time ago.

"This is related to my innate spiritual power, right? Is there anything special about it?"

"It's very special. Those with an innate spiritual power of 90 or above can be called those favored by the gods. Before the awakening of divine favor, this value cannot exceed one hundred."

"And you, your innate spiritual power is actually more than 120, but on this continent, the upper limit of innate spiritual power is only this much."

"Not long after the Dark Ages began, our human race received a prophecy, a prophecy that will forever sustain our human race's beliefs."

"A prophecy?"

Bai Xi had a gut feeling that she was about to learn a shocking secret, and that this secret was very likely related to her.

"The prophecy says: 'At the end of darkness comes the dawn. Darkness will not last long. When someone awakens to 120 innate spiritual power, that will be the signal of dawn, and the darkness will dissipate.'"

Chen Zidian didn't keep them in suspense; he directly revealed the first half of the prophecy.

"This news has always been an absolute secret within our Temple Alliance. Only those who have reached the ninth rank or above and passed the assessment are qualified to know it."

"And you are clearly the sign of dawn mentioned in the prophecy."

The sudden heavy burden weighed on Bai Xi, and she felt a bit of pressure.

"Was the prophecy really true? I can't believe it, it's talking about me."

Bai Xi couldn't believe it at all; she stated that she couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility. Moreover, if her guess was correct, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu should be her maternal grandfather, and she had demon blood flowing through her veins.

Is it really feasible to entrust such a mission to a human-demon hybrid?
"That prophecy is absolutely true, because it comes from a book that was left a long time ago. It contains more than one prophecy, some of which were born in glorious times. It predicted many things, including the coming of the Dark Ages."

Chen Zidian suddenly retorted with slightly agitated emotions, clearly believing in the prophecy without question and refusing to allow anyone to question it.

Bai Xi suddenly felt even more pressure.

No way! Who wrote this prophecy?!
Did they even consider her feelings? She's under immense pressure, don't they know that?

Little did Bai Xi know that Chen Zidian had omitted the latter part of the prophecy to ease her stress. If he had actually said it, Bai Xi would probably have been tempted to switch to a different phone number and start over.

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Just do what you want to do and don't worry about anything else. Just grow up safely."

"You just need to remember that being alive is more important than many things."

Chen Zidian solemnly instructed, and then took out two more items and handed them to Bai Xi.

"Inside are six rings of inheritance, recording the skills we six possess, as well as skills we obtained from the secret realm. I believe you will be able to integrate and master them, and use them perfectly."

"This is an epic piece of equipment that has been passed down from a glorious era. It is called the Soul Chain. I am giving it to you."

"We'll reconnect you after your injuries have healed."

Chen Zidian then explained the characteristics and usage of the Soul Chains, and finally offered his blessings.

"I will spend the rest of my life praying for you, that your wishes may be fulfilled."

Without giving Bai Xi a chance to refuse or ask questions, the soft golden light enveloped her body again and carried her to the barracks.

"Xixi."

As if sensing something, Long Haochen steadily supported Bai Xi.

"Xixi, you're back. Has Senior Chen left? What did he say to you alone? Xixi, why do you seem a little dazed since you came back?"

"I'm fine, I just didn't quite realize what was happening. How come there are only a few of us? Did the Holy Moon Hero leave too?"

Bai Xi avoided answering their questions and instead inquired about Sheng Yue's whereabouts.

"The chivalrous senior has left, and the Exorcism Pass is being rebuilt. It is the time when he is needed."

"He left after you left."

Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er replied at the same time.

When Long Haochen answered, his gaze remained fixed on Bai Xi, filled with deep concern.

Saint Cai'er's answer was much simpler; Saint Moon didn't seem to stir her emotions.

Bai Xi gripped the object in her hand and temporarily placed it into her storage space.

"Zhuque, this should be the first time we've met. Why do I feel like he understands me so well? And there's a sense of familiarity between us?"

Bai Xi felt lost once again and communicated with Zhu Que.

"He actually knew that my injuries were quite serious, and in order not to affect others, he would absolutely not agree to use the Soul Chain, which is something that involves sharing life and bearing the damage together, right now. So he didn't use the Soul Chain on us immediately."

Only Bai Xi herself truly knew the severity of her injuries; they were already quite serious. The continuous use of powerful techniques had greatly depleted her vital energy, especially her essence and heart's blood.
