Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3274: A Clear Conscience
Previously on Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess...
A heavy silence descended upon the world once the sixteen major powers, including the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty, vanished into the horizon.
Fu Jiuyuan, Li Zhenxiong, and Mo Fengtian made no move to pursue them.
Their own forces had sustained significant losses during the clash; they were in no condition to prolong the struggle.
To press on would have undoubtedly sparked a total war.
Such a catastrophic escalation was something everyone wished to avoid.
"The fighting... it has finally ceased..."
"If these five peak factions had truly entered a state of all-out warfare, the entire Northern Cold Ming State would have been consumed. The death toll would have been unimaginable..."
"I never anticipated that this conflict would conclude with the retreat of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, the Hell Divine Dynasty, and their allies..."
"Even though the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty possessed superior numbers, the intervention of the Wa Palace, Jiuli Demon Palace, and the Ancient Demon Sacred Land shifted the scales. The result was set from the moment those three top factions joined."
The distant observers let out a collective breath of relief, many of them collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.
Though they were merely spectators, witnessing such an epoch-defining battle had been an overwhelming experience.
After a brief moment to compose themselves, the onlookers hurried away. They understood the gravity of what they had seen and needed to report back to their respective Sects immediately.
As the crowds dispersed, the scene shifted to the distant sky.
"Did we... actually win?"
A member of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan asked, his voice trembling with emotion.
"We won... we truly won... our home is safe..."
An elderly ape choked out through tears of pure joy.
"Victory is ours!"
"We endured until the bitter end; we fought with everything we had!"
"Hahaha! So what if they are the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty? In the end, they could only tuck their tails and run!"
Members of the Wa Palace, Jiuli Demon Palace, Ancient Demon Sacred Land, Black Tortoise family, the four Ancient Evil Beast families, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan, the Ancestor Dragon Clan, and the Divine Dragon Clan all wept with relief.
Yuan Xiaotian bowed low toward the gathered allies, his voice thick with gratitude. "I thank you all for your assistance. Without your help, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan would have been wiped out today!"
Yi Xingzhou followed with a deep bow of his own. "The Ancient Xuanwu Family will surely repay this immense debt of kindness in the future!"
With a gentle smile, Feng Yuechan replied, "We are allies and friends; there is no need for such formalities."
"That is correct!"
Li Yaoshou added, "We had no intention of letting the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty run rampant across the Northern Cold Ming State!"
Mo Daokun remarked, "We were fortunate to have the support of Elder Jiu Yuan, Elder Zhen Xiong, and Elder Fengtian in this Cultivation battle!
Without them, we could not have countered those two cunning old foxes, Donghuang Mochen and Ye Changjue!"
"Our deepest thanks to Elder Jiu Yuan, Elder Zhen Xiong, and Elder Fengtian!"
Led by Yang Luo, the entire group bowed in respect to the three Elders.
"Forget the pleasantries."
Fu Jiuyuan waved a hand dismissively. "If this were a minor dispute, we would have remained uninvolved.
However, since those two old foxes, Donghuang Mochen and Ye Changjue, chose to stir up such chaos, we could not simply stand by."
Li Zhenxiong’s expression darkened. "While the battle has concluded, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty are not the type to forgive and forget.
They have likely only retreated to lick their wounds; I fear this is merely a prelude to even greater conflicts."
Mo Fengtian let out a weary sigh. "Since the great war a millennium ago, the Dao of the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain has remained fractured. Spiritual energy has bled away, and resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
To secure Cultivation resources, various factions and rogue cultivators are inciting constant strife.
Now that even top-tier powers like the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Hell Divine Dynasty are instigating wars,
I fear other ambitious factions will soon follow suit for their own selfish gains."
A heavy silence fell over the group at Mo Fengtian’s grim assessment.
Yang Luo took a steadying breath and spoke up clearly, "Brothers and seniors, we cannot foresee what lies ahead or how vast the coming wars might be.
As Elder Fengtian noted, the Dao of the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain is indeed broken, and our spiritual energy and resources are dwindling.
Nevertheless, this land is the Cultivation ground that our predecessors sacrificed everything to protect.
All we can do is strive to defend the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain with everything we have, so that we may live with a clear conscience."
"Haha! Well spoken!"
Li Zhenxiong burst into hearty laughter, his gaze landing on Yang Luo as he smiled and stroked his beard. "Young man, who might you be? I don't believe we've met.
I am impressed that someone of your years possesses such advanced Cultivation and such profound insight. Truly remarkable!"
Mo Fengtian joined in the laughter. "I was watching this young fellow earlier!
His strength is quite startling. To slay a Nine Heavens Immortal while only at the Taiyi Xuanxian Perfected Stage is an incredible feat!"
Fu Jiuyuan nodded in agreement. "I first noticed him at the Ancient Xuanwu Family’s estate.
This young man is not only gifted in his Cultivation and techniques but is also deeply loyal. He fought the enemy without a hint of fear; he is certainly no ordinary youth!"
Fu Zu gave a small chuckle. "Brother Jiu Yuan, Brother Zhen Xiong, Brother Fengtian, you have been in seclusion for so long that you are out of touch with current events.
Allow me to introduce him to you..."
Once Fu Zu had finished explaining Yang Luo’s background.
Mo Fengtian smiled. "I didn't realize this young man was already so renowned. It seems we truly are becoming relics of the past!
The future indeed belongs to the new generation!"
Yang Luo shook his head modestly. "Elder Fengtian, my minor reputation is nothing compared to the three of you.
You three are Immortal Venerables, figures respected by the Ten Thousand Immortals and famous throughout the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain."
Mo Fengtian sighed, shaking his head. "To have reached this age and still only be Immortal Venerables is somewhat embarrassing.
Besides, the title of Immortal Venerable isn't the peak; without reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, one can never truly stand at the summit of the Dao."
"Young man, did you truly pass the trials of the Nine Demon Sacred Realm and receive the legacy of our ancestors and the nine Demon Gods?!"
"And is it true you deciphered the nine ancient maps left by our two ancestors at the Wa Palace in just a single month?!"
Li Zhenxiong and Fu Jiuyuan stared at Yang Luo, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Yang Luo answered, "It was largely due to luck that I received the inheritance from Senior Chi You and the nine Demon Gods.
As for the maps left by Seniors Nuwa and Fuxi,
I was already familiar with the legends surrounding them, which made the process of comprehension much smoother."
Fu Zu laughed loudly. "Little Luo, you are far too humble. You can even manifest the phenomena of our two ancestors from the Wa Palace now!"
"What?!"
Fu Jiuyuan’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Yang Luo. "Young man, can you truly manifest those phenomena?"
"I can," Yang Luo confirmed.
Fu Jiuyuan challenged, "Then manifest them for us to see."
"Very well!"
Yang Luo nodded. His frame shuddered as he released his power, calling forth the Connate Eight Trigrams and the Five-colored Divine Stone.
Upon seeing the manifestation!
Fu Jiuyuan’s pupils shrank, his face washing over with pure shock!
