Chapter 430: Feel Much More Assured
"Father!" Elena said, her voice trembling, while Aldrian stood stunned. For Baron Rosalind to make such a request, he must have been seriously considering the future.
Many were still uncertain about what would happen when the church’s prophecy come. However, Aldrian knew that after all the signs and chaos of recent years, they already realize that the prophecy was connected to the devils.
Initially, many were still unsure whether it was related to the devils or not, but after all this time, they had to come to the conclusion that the prophecy was about the devils.
The devils’ activities in recent years had risen sharply. The continuous wars and skirmishes involving them, strengthened the belief that the prophecy signified an impending great war with the devils. If another great war broke out, they did not know if they would have the same luck as in the last one.
In the last war, the cultivators’ levels on the continent were significantly higher than in today’s era, with a much greater number of peak Emperor-stage cultivators. The same applied to other cultivators—they were more numerous and at a much higher level than they are now.
However, despite all of that, the continent was still nearly conquered by the devils. If not for the fact that the devils strangely retreated after gaining the upper hand, when they only needed one final push for total victory, this continent would be entirely under their rule today.
Of course, only a few knew that their retreat was because of the dragon and phoenix ancestor.
If, with such a vastly superior number of high-level cultivators, they still nearly lost to the devils, then what about now? They had no way of knowing the full extent of the devils’ power, and based on the experience gained from the war between the Doria Empire and the devils, the devils seemed incredibly strong.
With the strength of today’s cultivators, if the devils were to declare another great war at full power, just as they did three million years ago, then they would be utterly doomed. The luck they had back then would not necessarily be repeated in the future.
In Baron Rosalind’s mind, Aldrian’s existence was truly a blessing from the heavens, a beacon of hope for the continent in the face of the coming tribulation. If securing Aldrian’s help meant giving him the Rosalind family’s legacy artifacts, then so be it. He would do whatever it took to ensure his family’s survival.
Seeing the touched expression on Elena’s face, Baron Rosalind simply smiled at her.
