Divine Seal: A Bao was born, and the delicate beauty was snatched away

Chapter 252 Preparing for War
The demons were quick on their feet. Feng Haochen and his companions all entered the Eternal Tower, using the different time flows inside and outside to complete their breakthrough as soon as possible.

When the human race learned that the sight in the sky was a sign of the return of the Heavenly Punishment, they quickly began preparations.

Therefore, the war between humans and demons has temporarily stopped.

However, the demons were worried that the human leaders wouldn't tell the truth to the common people, so Gad and Mendi joined forces again to increase the output of the dream.

This commotion was unlike the one when Jialing Pass was breached. This time, the human race's high command noticed the demons' actions immediately. Some tried to stop them, but were interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Star Demon God and the Moon Demon God.

When they realized what the demons had done, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.

What is this?
They were always the ones who suspected the demons of having ill intentions, but now that the Heavenly Gang has been turned against them, it's their turn to be suspected of having ill intentions by the demons.

"The demons are also making considerable preparations."

On the southeastern fortress, Qiu Yonghao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the demon race shrouded in darkness in the distance.

This was the first time in all these years that he had seen the demons so tense.

"I hope we can get through this great calamity safely."

Lin Chen had arrived here without anyone noticing.

Qiu Yonghao turned his head and glanced at him, then laughed, "What, not guarding Jialing Pass anymore? They didn't really kick you out of office, did they?"

Regarding the relationship between the Lin family and the Demon Clan, Ayalina only mentioned once during the meeting that her mother's name was "Lin Yu".

This statement confirms the relationship between the Lin family and the demon race.

"Let them try to catch them if they dare!"

Lin Chen was unusually witty. He shrugged and added a voice-over: "Jialing Pass is still under his control."

However, he did come to the Southeast Fortress today to help reinforce its magical defenses.

“My brother’s whole family and my son and his wife have also returned to Jialing Pass.”

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, and Qiu Yonghao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Special times," Lin Chen smiled slightly. "Even if this matter can't be resolved, at least the whole family will be together."

"You old man, your spirit has grown old too. How do you know this matter won't be resolved?"

In terms of age, Qiu Yonghao is almost twice the age of Lin Chen, and he has never given up hope over the years.

"Didn't the demons say that if everyone joins forces, there's a high chance of victory in this matter?"

"Victory, too, comes at the cost of countless lives. Just look at that Demon God Pillar that seals away divine punishment; it was forged from the blood essence of tens of thousands of powerful cultivators from another world..."

Those were not cultivators, but powerful cultivators.

It was fortunate that the divine punishment didn't initially appear in their plane; otherwise, this single step would have brought their Holy Demon Continent to its end.

Qiu Yonghao stared at Lin Chen with a complicated expression. He wondered why this usually serious guy had suddenly changed his mind.

It turns out it wasn't that I'd come to terms with it, but rather that I'd given up hope.

"You mustn't follow Bingyang's example. That guy spent his whole life getting stuck on trivial things, and in the end, he couldn't understand anything and left with a bitter heart."

The previous Temple Master of the Magic Temple spent his final days guiding Lin Chen, enabling the already talented Lin Chen to successfully break through to the ninth rank and become a pillar of the Magic Temple.

If it were just about teaching some cultivation methods, that would be one thing, but Qiu Yonghao was worried that he was also passing on some messy and extreme ideas to Lin Chen.

Qiu Yonghao stared at Lin Chen, whose temples were graying, and thought of Lin Chen's father, and then he thought of Lin Chen's grandfather.

He turned to look at the increasingly spreading red and black cracks in the sky, glancing at Lin Chen out of the corner of his eye, and said:
"Although you've received guidance from Bingyang, you also have a family tradition of learning. You should still study properly with your father and grandfather."

···
With the help of Ye Xiaolei and Ya Ting, Leng Xiao, a member of the Demon Clan, repeatedly digested and processed the power of the Goddess of Nature within her body.

Ayalina never expected that Leng Xiao would break through to the ninth rank in such a short time, and even continue to rise.

No wonder.

"Isn't this too sudden?"

This cramming method of becoming a god made Ayalina somewhat suspicious that Leng Xiao's trial with the elves might be a bit off.

After much hesitation, Ye Xiaolei finally told Ayalina the truth.

Actually, the original speed wasn't this fast. Leng Xiao's final trial should have continued in the Elf territory, but it was estimated to have been almost completely destroyed by divine punishment. So, before they left the Elf territory, Ye Xiaolei directly erased that final step, injecting the divine spark into Leng Xiao's body.

It almost made Leng Xiao's body burst!

Even now, hearing Ayalina's name still sends chills down my spine, and I was so angry I almost hit the child.

"This method could easily lead to your demise..."

"But precisely because of this, Xiaoxiao now possesses enough power to support the enhancement magic of the divine followers, and has also gained a number of believers. Given time, once Xiaoxiao has fully absorbed all this power, she will directly become a god!"

Ye Xiaolei described the matter as if it were a sure-fire way to make a fortune, without mentioning any of the risks involved.

Even so, Ayalina could tell from Ye Xiaolei's guilty and shifty eyes that there was danger involved.

However, Ayalina remembered the "Familiar of the Goddess of Nature of the Night" enhancement magic activated by Leng Xiao, which initiated a new round of changes throughout the entire demon territory.

Before the dark forces of destruction, which had nowhere to attach themselves, finally rioted, the other demon gods also began their duties.

The demonic pillars absorb the destructive dark power, and with the help of the elves, this power is purified once again.

Although this power caused an accident when it was used to purify Haoyue, it was exceptionally effective on the Demon God and the Demon God Pillar.

During this time, some of the elves had been taken by Qin Zhao to the Dream Forest of Zhennan Pass, while others had voluntarily mustered the courage to stay and help the demons.

After all, the early arrival of divine punishment was partly the responsibility of the Elven race.

Moreover, in terms of strength on the continent, the Demon Clan is naturally the strongest. If the Demon Clan cannot resolve this matter, then the Elf Clan will not be able to protect themselves in the Dream Forest.

This power of purification and destruction, in turn, gives birth to pure dark power that feeds back into the demon gods, allowing some demon gods who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years to make progress.

The most obvious example is that because of this incident, he broke through from the peak of the eighth rank to the ninth rank Serpent Demon God Andumari.

All these benefits were obtained by Leng Xiao at great risk for the Demon Clan, and Ayalina looked at Leng Xiao with some heartache.

Whether in her past life or this one, perhaps no one initially intended to place such a heavy burden on her shoulders.

She had parents and brothers in front of her, so why did she have to shoulder all of this herself in the end?

When Leng Xiao opened her eyes, she looked somewhat dazed. Ayalina reached out and gently touched Leng Xiao's cheek.

Feeling the cool touch, Leng Xiao's eyes, filled with a mix of complexity and unfamiliarity, instantly snapped back to reality when she saw Ayalina's red-rimmed eyes.

"Mother……"

Leng Xiao's voice suddenly became soft and sweet, like when she was a child and she would act coquettishly towards Ayalina. She took the initiative to lean her face in and rub it against Ayalina's palm, feeling the warmth of her palm, and sighed with satisfaction.

Sure enough, dreams are all lies.

She explained that the Heavenly Condemnation was ultimately defeated, why her father committed suicide, and why the Demon Clan was ultimately destroyed.
Why did all her loved ones leave her in the end?

There will be similar scenes of Leng Xiao and [Leng Xiao] meeting in the extra chapters~
