Chapter 898 - 450: Holy City Theater!
Wu Di’s words were by no means alarmist.
The most terrifying aspect of the Wraith Kingdom was its ability to resurrect fallen human warriors. Even though humans had devised many plans against this specific threat, resorting to the mage brigade to destroy bodies when necessary, it was not always entirely possible. Those deceased warriors, especially the high-rank powerhouses, could potentially become part of the enemy’s strength. This was the scariest part; if a situation arose where one diminished and the other grew stronger, humanity truly faced the risk of extinction. Wraith entities could grow in strength like a rolling snowball. This was also why the Temple Federation decided so swiftly to launch a full-scale war.
"This war might even be more critical than the one we faced against the demon tribe ten millennia ago. Back when we faced the demon tribe, we could ultimately hold defensively, giving humanity a respite and eventually awaiting the arrival of powerhouses like President Long, who led humanity to counterattack and ultimately defeat the demon tribe. However, wraiths are pervasive—they won’t afford us such time. Therefore, we must bring this fight to a decisive end," he said.
"That day, when you activated the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, it had a significant impact on the Sacred Legate. Because it showed everyone another possibility. We all believe that if the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex finds a successor once more, then the Wraith Kingdom will no longer pose a threat. This is also why the Knights Temple and Magic Temple are supporting you with all their might. So, whether as a member of the Sacred Legate or as your teacher, I must remind you that, no matter when, you must cherish your life because your life has long ceased to belong only to you but to all of humanity. You must stay alive, teacher also looks forward to seeing the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex with a new master," he said.
"Teacher, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take risks anymore, for humanity’s sake as well as for myself and my family," Long Dangdang earnestly replied.
"Good, go then. Contact me immediately if anything arises. Two-thirds of the Sacred Legate are now at the frontlines, and I plan to head over in a few days. If anything comes up, contact me immediately through the Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal."
"Yes, Teacher."
After saying goodbye to Wu Di, Long Dangdang returned to the Knights Temple special training base. These days, everyone continued to cultivate here or went to their respective Temples to learn. Since Long Dangdang’s return, there had been varying degrees of improvement in everyone’s strength over the past six months.
There was no need to mention Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu; they had both reached the 8th Rank. Wang Changxin and Yue Li were now at the Peak 7th Rank. Tao Linlin, benefiting from the evolutionary talents brought by the Golden Demon Suppression Tree, was progressing quickly in cultivation and was now a step away from reaching the Peak 7th Rank. Ming Xi remained the weakest in terms of cultivation, but perhaps because she was part of Long Dangdang’s team, the Assassins Temple, after testing Long Dangdang with the Divine Lightning, provided Ming Xi with more resources. Her progress during this period was swift, and she had broken through to Level 5 of the 7th Rank.
"I’ve already collected the mission; shall we set off tomorrow?" Ling Menglu asked Long Dangdang.
Long Dangdang nodded, "Everyone take a rest tonight, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning."
