Chapter 604: Chen Lan Will Sacrifice Himself
The subordinate reported, and the Celestial Emperor immediately curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Heh, it seems even Heaven can’t stand it. The Demon Slayer is doomed." The Celestial Emperor looked at his subordinate and sneered, "Immediately set up the Heavenly Bloodline Tracking Array. I want not only the Witch but also the whereabouts of the Demon Slayer!"
The Demon Slayer, such a formidable existence, couldn’t be tracked with an ordinary bloodline tracking array; it needed the strongest, which would take at least a month to arrange.
He was sure that the Demon Slayer would not appear in such a short time.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor." The subordinate hurriedly left.
"Demon Slayer, I will find you, but during this period, those ants will pay a painful price because of you."
The slaughter would not stop. He intended to use killing to force more people to act and then annihilate them, ensuring that no one would defy him again!
The Evil Race in the Celestial Domain stands alongside the Heavenly Dao, unforgiving to any defiance. Since his master had sent him to govern, he had to do it to the best of his ability.
...
Confucian Village.
Golden Cicada traveled billions of miles to this place, where Song Baiyi had long been waiting.
"Elder Song." Golden Cicada saw a figure in white robes standing at the village entrance waiting for him, and he flashed over with a respectful salute.
"Let’s talk inside." Song Baiyi said.
Golden Cicada nodded slightly and followed Song Baiyi into the village, only to be eerily surprised to find no one there. He used his Divine Sense to probe but found no one!
"Elder Song, why is this village lifeless? Where have all the people gone?"
"I sent them away. Defying the Celestial Emperor and offending the Evil Race, this place can’t remain hidden forever. It will be discovered sooner or later, and they can’t be implicated." Song Baiyi said gravely.
Hearing this, Golden Cicada nodded. Indeed, it had to be so. If discovered by the Evil Race, this place would surely be razed to the ground.
Stopping before a house with Song Baiyi, Golden Cicada was slightly stunned as the door opened and a burly man with a huge blade on his back and a hideous sword scar on his face emerged.
"You’ve come, huh? Come in, Tianyunzi is already here." The burly man spoke in a deep voice and then entered the house.
Tianyunzi?
Golden Cicada frowned slightly. Who was this person and who was Tianyunzi, who seemed to be waiting for his arrival?
Song Baiyi, waving a fan, walked inside, while Golden Cicada stood hesitantly in place.
"He will not harm you. Tianyunzi is a senior; the Demon Emperor has already gone to see him." Song Baiyi smiled, seeing Golden Cicada’s concern.
Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada suddenly lifted his head to look at Song Baiyi. The Demon Emperor had already gone?
After pondering for a few moments, he followed inside.
The house was small, and when he and Song Baiyi entered, they saw three people sitting around a table, all eyes on him.
There was the burly man from earlier, an old man, and a pure and lovely-looking young girl, all of whom had concealed their auras, making him unable to sense them.
"This is Golden Cicada, as you all know." Song Baiyi smiled and sat down, gesturing to an empty chair beside him.
Golden Cicada sat down, and the old man was the first to speak.
"Since everyone is here, let’s discuss." Tianyunzi spoke gravely.
"What about the Demon Emperor?" Golden Cicada asked with a frown as he glanced around, not seeing any sign of Chen Lan, who was supposed to be here?
"He’s in seclusion. I mentioned it to him beforehand, besides, this discussion doesn’t include the Demon Emperor."
Upon hearing Tianyunzi’s words, Golden Cicada frowned deeply. Not including the Demon Emperor, what was this about?
The Demon Emperor’s strength was not weak, probably much stronger than these people. So why wasn’t he included?
"Why isn’t the Demon Emperor included? You’re all aware of his strength, aren’t you?" Golden Cicada asked gravely, puzzled.
"Heh, if his strength is so high, then why hasn’t he come back earlier to deal with the Evil Race?" The burly man sneered.
Hearing this, Golden Cicada immediately gave him a cold stare. This person was arrogant and seemed to greatly disdain Chen Lan.
"Blade, shut up." Song Baiyi said coldly, and Tianyunzi’s eyes also coldly glanced at the burly man.
Seeing this, the burly man just sneered a few times, saying nothing further.
"If you’re so strong, why haven’t you yet wiped out the Evil Race?" Golden Cicada, not one to be trifled with, retorted coldly.
With just this one sentence, the man who had intended to remain silent sprang to his feet in anger: "You bald donkey, what did you say? Come on, let’s fight!"
"Fighting and killing, so crude." Golden Cicada said blandly.
Blade felt extremely enraged, and immediately wanted to draw his blade to overpower Golden Cicada.
"Silence!!!" Tianyunzi shouted coldly, and an invisible pressure instantly descended, causing Blade to sit back down with a jolt.
Even Golden Cicada widened his eyes at Tianyunzi, feeling his terrifying pressure and being internally astonished. This person’s strength was truly terrifying, not much different from that of the Celestial Emperor.
But why, with someone so strong, had the Celestial Emperor not been quickly eradicated to destroy the Evil Race and bring peace to the Celestial Domain?
Instead, they were only now discussing, which was puzzling.
"I know you all have waited a long time, but without Chen Lan’s appearance, this plan can never be completed, to safeguard the Celestial Domain. Over these years, I have seen countless future fate trajectories, with only one being successful, so there can be no mistake!"
Golden Cicada was shocked, having glimpsed the future fate trajectories countless times, with only one success?
It seemed that Chen Lan was indeed necessary.
Tianyunzi spoke gravely: "This plan is very simple yet very difficult. I need you to kill the five War Gods one by one. I can distract the Celestial Emperor, and if nothing goes wrong, I can take him down."
Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada was stunned. Kill the five War Gods one by one and then eliminate the Celestial Emperor, with Tianyunzi alone? This plan sounded very simple; does it even need Chen Lan?
Something wasn’t right. If it was indeed so simple, they wouldn’t have waited so long.
"The difficulty is not in killing the five War Gods, nor in killing the Celestial Emperor, but in the external world’s Cataclysmic Divine Judgment. In every fate trajectory, it leads to failure, except for the one time I joined the Time Daoist and saw the only successful future, which involves Chen Lan. He will block the Cataclysmic Divine Judgment, saving everyone in the Celestial Domain."
"Does Chen Lan know about this?" Golden Cicada inquired.
"No, because it will be a nine deaths and one life scenario for him." Tianyunzi shook his head.
Upon hearing these words, the others were all shocked, gaping in disbelief.
"The Demon Emperor will die?" Song Baiyi asked in surprise.
From his expression, it was evident that he was learning this result for the first time too.
"Yes, I haven’t told you all, nor have I told Chen Lan, because this outcome is fated."
"Is your fate deduction necessarily correct?" Golden Cicada asked.
All futures are uncertain. If fate deduction was 100% correct, then the Way of Fate would be invincible.
"Not saying it’s 100%, but all the fate trajectories I’ve glimpsed have never been wrong. Chen Lan’s sacrifice is inevitable; fate can’t be changed!"
