602 The Method to Defeat The Demons

Zhao Yan shook her head.

“Although there are many branches of prophecy, every branch has an end and is irreversible. You are now walking toward the sixth branch. This is a one-way path. You can only continue it. No matter what you do, the final outcome will only be the one mentioned in the prophecy.”

“What bullsh*t prophecy? I don’t buy that. A man from a hundred thousand years ago wants to decide my fate?”

Lin Qiye let out a low snort. The unyielding look in his eyes was evident, and the aura on his body erupted unconsciously.

!!

Zhao Yan was stunned.

She recalled that when she parted ways with Lin Qiye, he had said that his fate was in his own hands.

Looking at him again, he was still firm and confident after knowing the outcome of his fate.

It made Zhao Yan suspicious. Could the prophecy really be broken?

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before a figure appeared in her mind to break it.

“Impossible… As long as he’s here, you’ll never be able to escape your fate.”

At the mention of ‘him,’ Lin Qiye’s face gradually darkened.

“That guy…”

That man was naturally the person who had stepped on Lin Qiye to ascend to the Supreme Realm in the prophecy.

In this world, there was only one person with such strength – The ruler of the Heavenly God Palace, the white-bearded elder. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

“You know who I’m talking about?”

Zhao Yan was a little surprised.

Lin Qiye sneered.

“Isn’t he the person in charge of the Heavenly God Palace? When we first met, I felt something fishy about him. Now that the demons have invaded his territory, does he still has the mood to control me?”

Hearing the sarcasm in Lin Qiye’s words, Zhao Yan’s expression darkened. Then, a trace of anger rose in her eyes.

She lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.

“I’m afraid you will be disappointed. He is not in the Heavenly God Palace.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Lin Qiye could sense Zhao Yan’s anger was not directed at him. Instead, it seemed to be directed at the ruler of the Heavenly God Palace.

Zhao Yan clenched her fists even tighter and gritted her teeth. The injuries on her face were affected, and blood began to seep out.

She looked up, tears of anger in her eyes falling from the corners.

“He is a traitor! He betrayed the Heavenly God Palace! He betrayed all of us!”

“Sister Yan, don’t be too agitated.”

Wan Meng gently stroked Zhao Yan’s heart, constantly comforting her agitated emotions.

Lin Qiye was puzzled. What did the white-bearded elder do to make Zhao Yan so mad?

He set off to ask. “What the hell happened?”

Zhao Yan slowly calmed herself down. When she spoke again, Lin Qiye and Wan Meng were shocked.

“He colluded with the demons and betrayed all the members of the Heavenly God Palace!”

“What?”

Lin Qiye and Wan Meng exclaimed at the same time.

Although Wan Meng had awakened her spiritual consciousness in the past, as a part of a divine weapon, she still vaguely knew some things her main body had experienced.

It could be confirmed that the white-bearded elder was one of the founders of the Heavenly God Palace 100,000 years ago.

He had indeed led many experts to repel the demon army.

Lin Qiye and Wan Meng had never expected this type of person to collude with the demons and betray the Heavenly God Palace.

“Are you sure? How did you find out about his betrayal?”

“Because… I saw him plotting with the demons with my own eyes! My injuries are all because of him!”

That short sentence silenced Lin Qiye and Wan Meng.

There might be some misunderstanding if she merely saw it. However, Zhao Yan’s injuries were the best proof.

As a member of the Heavenly God Palace, it was unacceptable to be betrayed by someone in power.

It was as if the leader you were following all the time and working together against a common enemy suddenly colluded with the enemy and sold you off.

Perhaps only by experiencing it personally could one understand such a feeling.

Zhao Yan’s expression was indescribably lonely.

She said self-deprecatingly, “It’s ridiculous that the High God we’ve always admired only treated us as stepping stones for his advancement.”

“If it weren’t for the abnormality I discovered from the Hidden Ancient Hall after parting with you last time, I’m afraid I would have already become those filthy things.”

Lin Qiye and Wan Meng looked at each other. They could feel the sadness in Zhao Yan’s heart.

“Sister Yan, what happened?”

Wan Meng was concerned about Zhao Yan. She could not imagine what Zhao Yan had experienced.

Zhao Yan raised her hand and habitually patted Wan Meng’s head.

Instead of answering Wan Meng’s question, she explained the Heavenly God Palace.

“All of you only know a part of the Heavenly God Palace. Only after you become the Hall Master will you be able to learn the true secrets.”

...

The two listened quietly as Zhao Yan continued to explain.

“For a long time, the Heavenly God Palace will choose talented people from the secular world to nurture.”

“I know this. It’s to fight against the demons, so we travel in the secular world, right?” Wan Meng interrupted.

“Yeah, at least that’s what I once thought.” Zhao Yan mocked herself again.

“But after I parted ways with you, I realized that fighting against the demons was just an excuse the man used to seek a breakthrough.”

“Others might not know, but every Hall Master has been offering blood essence over the years.”

“That man told us the blood essence is used as energy to maintain the stability of the secret realm. However, I recently discovered some secrets about the Heavenly God Palace’s early years in the Hidden Ancient Hall, as well as the true use of the blood essence.”

Wan Meng could not believe it. She had searched the entire Hidden Ancient Hall over the years but did not find anything special.

“Sister Yan, what did you find?”

Zhao Yan turned to look at Wan Meng.

“Girl, you’ve been following that man since you left your master 100,000 years ago, right?”

...

“Yes, after my previous master left behind the prophecy, I was brought back by the old man.”

Wan Meng nodded.

“So you haven’t noticed anything strange?” Zhao Yan continued to ask.

“Strange? No. Apart from the old geezer wanting to force me to acknowledge him as my master a few years ago, nothing strange happened after that.” Wan Meng thought for a moment and said with certainty.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan’s expression became stern.

“Haven’t you noticed that everyone only joined the Heavenly God Palace in the last 20,000 to 30,000 years? The Heavenly God Palace was established 100,000 years ago. That guy was only one of the founders. Why is he the only one left now? Where did the others go?”
