Chapter 2451 The world is so vast, yet there is nowhere to find refuge.
“Over the years, you have grown up with Yujing City and are inseparable from it.” Shangguan Biao pointed at He Lingchuan. “Yujing City has also swallowed up his Panlong Ancient City. For this reason alone, he will not let you go.”
He Lingchuan had just said he wouldn't force his mother, but Shangguan Biao immediately contradicted him.
"Which living being in the world doesn't yearn for freedom?" He Lingchuan stabbed him in the mouth with a spear. "Mother Earth, as long as you put Panlong Ancient City back in its original place and restore it to its original appearance as much as possible, I will never blame you."
Jade Capital City can either devour ruins or spit them out. Otherwise, over the years, Jade Capital City would have consumed every ruin it encountered, and its size would be ten times larger than it is now.
The Blood Demon continued, "However, the Heavenly Demon will not let you go."
This was the second time they had mentioned the Heavenly Demon. The Earth Mother said in a deep voice, "I'll hide in the Earth's core volcano and not get involved in worldly conflicts, isn't that enough?"
Changfeng Valley is destroyed. If it can retrieve its stone heart, it can roam freely between heaven and earth and never have to deal with these treacherous creatures again.
“With Yujing City on your back, you can go anywhere. In this day and age, this talent is extremely valuable.” He Lingchuan said solemnly, “It’s a mobile fortress, and also a divine tool for military deployment. In this era of great competition, what matters is seizing the initiative, and what matters is the means. It will be difficult for you to remain unaffected.”
Any human leader can see the enormous war potential of Mother Earth! This is no secret.
He Lingchuan pointed at Shangguan Biao: "Even if Yujing City is under his control, the Heavenly Demons still have designs on him. To put it another way, even if he can defeat everyone here, he will hardly have a good end! Because carrying the burden of Yujing City is his greatest original sin."
When Shangguan Biao slashed with his twin swords, he strangely did not refute.
The Blood Demon interjected, asking, "Do you know the Hidden God Lord?"
"I've heard of it; it's the overlord of the sea." As creatures from the same ancient era, only Mother Earth could make such a claim. "It's not as old as me."
"The Hidden God Lord has always lived in seclusion in the deep sea, detached from worldly affairs and not involved in the war between immortals and demons. But a few years ago, he was defeated by the Heavenly Demon Jialoutian, and his body was used as a breeding ground for the demonic puppet beast Qi, causing endless harm." The Blood Demon chuckled twice, "Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, as long as this body is useful to the Heavenly Demons, they will dig you out no matter where they are."
Mother Earth remained silent.
"It used to be a loner, just like you, and disliked getting involved in the struggles between different parties," the Blood Demon continued. "But in times of great strife, even if we don't want to get involved, we will inevitably be drawn into it. With the arrival of the Heavenly Demon, there is no pure land left in this world! Whether you or I want to or not, we will ultimately be unable to remain unscathed."
"So, even a demon like you has pledged allegiance to humans?" The Earth Mother had long seen through what the Blood Demon was all about.
"The world's situation has changed, and individual power is becoming increasingly insignificant. Even these immortals before us are all backed by powerful figures. The three great powers of this era are Bega, Mou, and Cangyan. And the founding emperor of Cangyan—" Blood Demon boomed, "is the one right before us."
At this moment, only by directly revealing the identity of the Nine Nether Emperor to the Earth Mother would the invitation from Cang Yan carry more weight.
"You're bragging too much. Aren't you afraid of getting exposed?" Shangguan Biao sneered. "I don't see any chance of winning for you. With your meager skills, you still dare to call yourself a reincarnated dragon god?"
He pointed the tip of his knife at the Earth Mother: "Big guy, you've seen the Dragon God with your own eyes. Do you really think this kid is the reincarnation of the Dragon God? Do you really think he's worthy of the Dragon God's power and ability?"
The Earth Mother glanced at He Lingchuan.
This human is indeed quite impressive, however, it doesn't seem like it.
He doesn't resemble the Dragon God at all.
The Dragon God is incredibly powerful; a mere gesture can destroy the heavens and the earth. If the person before me possesses such abilities, what is Jade Capital City, what is Shangguan Biao? Wouldn't they be easily wiped out with a wave of their hand?
So, is he really a liar, just as Shangguan Biao said?
Did it wake up one day and mistakenly place its hopes for escape on a swindler?
"The Dragon God perished due to its collision with Tianluo Star, but it also took the opportunity to merge with the Heavenly Dao, leaving behind new power and laws for the world, serving as a weapon for future generations to fight against the Heavenly Demon!" He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Think carefully, why did Shangguan Biao and the Heavenly Demon both come to seize Panlong Ancient City? It's because this power is in my hands, in the Panlong Secret Realm! If you don't cooperate with me, not only will you be resealed, but you will also plunge this world into endless war!"
He first emphasized that he was also a victim, being targeted by two robbers.
Then he told Earth Mother the necessity of confronting Shangguan Biao.
At least these two major events are certain; are the other minor details really that important?
"He can imprison you and subtly surpass you because he uses his own power in this void, combined with the power of your Stone Heart. Shangguan Biao's own strength is undeniable, and with only your remaining half of your power, it would be extremely difficult to fight him. That's the source of Shangguan Biao's confidence in controlling you!" He Lingchuan said quickly, "Only after I join the game will you have a chance to defeat him!"
Shangguan Biao chuckled, "Wait until I throw you into the Heart Flame, then we'll see how the reincarnated Dragon God is refined!"
"You say you are the ruler of Cangyan?" the Earth Mother asked He Lingchuan, then moved aside to reveal another secret realm. "I just overheard those immortals in Jade Capital City saying that Bega is a lackey of the Heavenly Demon, and that the Mu Kingdom is backed by Mount Ling. So what does your Cangyan have to rely on?"
“Bei Jia has a demon behind him, and Mu Guo has an immortal behind him.” He Lingchuan dodged Shangguan Biao’s attack. “We, Cang Yan, have someone behind us.”
"Humans?" Mother Earth was clearly confused.
What's so great about people?
The Blood Demon added: "The laws of the world have undergone a dramatic change, which is very beneficial to the human kingdom. The power of new life can rival that of immortals and demons."
Convincing a stone-headed creature is no easy task; even the Blood Demon had to personally intervene.
Shangguan Biao scoffed, "He's lying to you! When have you ever heard of a mere human being being compared to immortals and demons?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more stone figures emerged from the ground, varying in height, weight, and build, each wielding a different weapon, and they all came to besiege He Lingchuan.
One of them was thin, and the whip he wielded was like a serpent—no, the tip of the whip was a snake's head that could flick its tongue!
He first dipped the whip into the lightning pool, so that each strike carried the power of lightning, keeping the Blood Demon busy. When he swung it, the whip unleashed a storm of power, perfectly coordinated with his other clones.
He Lingchuan had no choice but to raise his right arm and take the blow head-on.
With a loud crack, the pain was so intense it made even one's soul tremble. A deep dent was punched into the arm armor of the Clang Dragon Armor, before slowly healing.
However, He Lingchuan paid the price of this injury by destroying two of Shangguan Biao's clones.
He dared not use his full strength, for fear of injuring Mother Earth too severely.
"What's the use?" Shangguan Biao said contemptuously. "You can't kill me at all; you're just helping me to teach Mother Earth a lesson."
