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

Chapter 202 The Best Way is to Play it Hard Like Me (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Even though you may mean well, I feel like you're cursing me to die!
But Li Zhengzhi's next words shocked Bai Xi even more.

"You should be like me, staying in the temple and diligently cultivating to improve your strength. That is the true path."

Bai Xi: ? ? ?
Did she really hear correctly? Could such a powerful figure, the master of a palace, utter such words?

She had only ever heard of people camping in newbie villages, never in veteran villages!

"Palace Master Li, did you use the wrong word?"

Bai Xi subtly expressed her shock.

With 43 points of spiritual power, she could understand if he wanted to play it safe, because he had to play it safe; with 430 points of spiritual power, she could also understand if he wanted to play it safe, because he was still a weakling...

However, she truly couldn't understand why someone with 430,000 spiritual power would just lie low!

Could it be that as one's strength increases and one gets older, one becomes more afraid of death?
But it shouldn’t be!
A master of a palace shouldn't be like this, and Bai Xi clearly saw the sharpness and ambition in his eyes.

"You're surprised, aren't you? You'll understand once I tell you what I'm about to say."

"I have been cultivating in the Magic Temple for the past few decades, not because I am afraid. Rather, it is because I want to work hard to improve my strength and accumulate my power so that I have the ability to fight the Demon Emperor, or even kill him."

Oh, so you're planning to survive until you reach max level and then kill my grandfather? Well, I'll have to listen carefully then.

"In fact, many geniuses before him could have achieved this, such as the Chosen One of Reincarnation and the Sword God of Light. But they were all too impulsive and died too young, at the height of their youth and prime..."

“I’m worried that you will also perish prematurely like them. That’s why I think you should be kept in the Knights’ Temple or the Holy City to cultivate diligently.”

"With your talent, as long as you live well and cultivate diligently, you will eventually catch up with the Demon God Emperor, enter the million-spirit power level, or even become a god."

"By then, you will surely be able to slay the Demon God and completely drive the Demon race off the continent."

Hearing this, Bai Xi wanted to applaud Li Zhengzhi. Thank you!

You really trust me too much, and you're really daring to think too much!
"Palace Master Li! Working in isolation is unacceptable!"

Bai Xi did not believe that cultivating in seclusion alone would be a good way to improve her strength.

"Only through repeated battles can one gain true strength."

"If I hide in the Holy City to cultivate in seclusion, I think my breakthrough speed will be at least ten times slower. Only in real war can I quickly break through my limits and gain more power."

Li Zhengzhi did not refute Bai Xi, but instead agreed with Bai Xi's idea.

"Your thinking isn't wrong."

"But I hope that you will not confront a demon god who is too powerful, let alone the Demon Emperor, unless you are absolutely certain of victory."

However, he seemed to be overly worried that Bai Xi would perish prematurely.

"If you perish prematurely, it will be a fatal blow to the entire human race."

Or better yet, you shouldn't be hoping for my death!
I'm really tough; I won't die that easily!

"I understand, I understand. I also value my life and will never say goodbye to this world so early."

Bai Xi's agreement was so sincere!

However, Li Zhengzhi was still worried that Bai Xi might act impulsively and rush into the demon realm again.

After all, in the eyes of the human race, the reason Bai Xi disappeared for more than a year was because of a moment of impulsiveness. She rushed into the heart of the demon realm in an attempt to end the Holy War single-handedly, and ended up being trapped in the demon realm for more than a year.

"You don't need to worry too much about the casualties in the holy war, or about us losing."

"Even if we lose, the demons won't exterminate them. They've only ever wanted to keep us under their control." "The Demon Emperor launched the Holy War merely to cleanse our human race of geniuses and strong individuals. If you perish on the battlefield, then we will have truly lost."

Bai Xi was nodding in agreement; the demons indeed had no intention of exterminating the human race.

But when she heard the rest, Bai Xi really wanted to say something.

"Is it possible that the main reason the Demon Emperor launched the Holy War was twofold: first, to temper my brother and me, and second, to deplete the excessive number of low-level demons and to eliminate some disobedient forces among the demons?"

Li Zhengzhi paused for a moment, glanced at Lin Xin, and continued speaking with a hint of relief in his voice.

"Fortunately, your generation has produced many peerless geniuses who are rare even once in a millennium."

"Even if you unfortunately perish prematurely, it doesn't matter. Lin Xin and the others will take your place and continue your unfinished mission."

"The demon race will surely perish in this region."

This generation has indeed produced many peerless geniuses, some of whom are rare even in a millennium.

There's Lin Xin from the Magic Temple, Chen Ying'er from the Soul Temple, Sheng Cai'er from the Assassin Temple, and Long Haochen from the Knight Temple...

However, these words still sound like they're meant to sow discord!
Oh, it seems like another form of reverse psychology.

"Palace Master Li, you really don't need to worry about me dying prematurely. I cherish this life and know how to take good care of it."

Bai Xi said with a hint of helplessness.

Honestly, to put it bluntly...

Even if Li Zhengzhi is dead, Bai Xi could never die.

"That would be best. The alliance leader has asked you to join the battle at Jialing Pass. I will keep a close eye on you then."

Bai Xi kept a straight face, but inside she was going crazy. Help! How did she end up catching this guy's eye?

Only when they arrived at this point did Li Zhengzhi finally end his conversation with Bai Xi.

Their gaze fell upon Lin Xin.

"Lin Xin, you are the next successor to the Hall Master chosen by the Alliance and me. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"Hallmaster."

Lin Xin looked up at Li Zhengzhi, and was actually a little nervous.

"After you went out and came back, you actually had the aura of a god on you. Although I don't know what happened to you, you were suddenly chosen by the gods to become a chosen one, and your innate spiritual power rose to over ninety."

“However, I can sense that you haven’t completed the awakening of divine favor. Lin Xin, you’re too slow.”

“Normal divine favor awakening occurs before the age of twenty, or at the seventh rank.”

"I don't want you to reach the eighth rank without having awakened your divine favor, thus wasting the potential of a divine being's companion."

Li Zhengzhi's words surprised both Bai Xi and Lin Xin. They never expected that Li Zhengzhi could see through Lin Xin's identity as a chosen one of the gods.

"Lord of the Palace, I will work hard and strive to achieve divine awakening as soon as possible."

This was the second time he'd been urged to do so today, and Lin Xin nodded solemnly. He thought it was time for him to take that final step.
