Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Three Days Later, Attack the Heavenly Realm!
Everyone looked towards Nuwa.
"Sitting and waiting for death is not a solution. As we grow stronger, the Evil Race of the Heavens will also strengthen. They will eventually find us and wipe us out."
Nuwa swept her gaze over everyone and said solemnly, "Rather than evade or await death, we might as well launch an attack and fight them head-on. Although we do not know if the Heavens has beings of the Emperor Dao realm, it seems we have no choice regardless."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.
Indeed, there was no room for choice. If there were Emperor Dao beings, going would mean death. Even without them, they would eventually appear. Unless one of their own first breaks through to the Emperor Dao, only death awaits them.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll risk my life to accompany you." Song Baiyi said with a faint smile.
Blade smiled faintly, "I’m just one life; let’s attack the Heavens. After all, I haven’t killed enough of the Evil Race yet."
"Since both of you said so, how can I not follow? I’ll go too," Chiyou said laughingly.
One by one, voices echoed in agreement, all preparing to attack the Heavens, except for a few who remained silent.
Chen Lan looked at those who hadn’t spoken, including the Flame Emperor, Donghuang Taiyi, and Ghost Ancestor.
"I’ll pass. My strength is too weak, going would just mean death." Donghuang Taiyi said with a bitter smile.
His hatred for the Evil Race of the Heavens wasn’t that deep. Accompanying them to the Celestial Domain was already a show of utmost loyalty. Now going to the Heavens again, he felt there was little chance of winning, so he didn’t want to throw his life away.
"Me too," Ghost Ancestor chuckled bitterly.
At this, everyone turned to the Flame Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was the first to speak, "What’s up with you, you’re not going?"
"I think the odds are slim. I have ways to hide, but in facing the Evil Race of the Heavens, I am helpless. If they have Emperor Dao beings, going there would just mean death for us." The Flame Emperor said with a wry smile.
"Hey, when did you become such a coward, old man?" Chiyou spoke coldly, irritated by the Flame Emperor’s cowardice.
"Everyone has their own thoughts, and we should respect them." Chen Lan looked at the Flame Emperor and said with a faint smile, "I respect your decision. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go."
Then, he turned to everyone, "For those who will go, we’ll set off in three days, meeting here. You all may disperse now."
Before long.
Everyone gradually left, leaving only Yang Tian and Gu Changge beside Chen Lan.
"Are you really ready?" Yang Tian asked, looking at Chen Lan.
Chen Lan shook his head with a bitter smile, "If I said no, what could I do? The Celestial Emperor only sent those lackeys over because he hasn’t broken through yet. We should attack the Heavens during this time. Even though we don’t know if the Heavens has Emperor Dao beings, we’ve never seen any after all this time. Perhaps they don’t have any."
"Are you gambling, or gambling with your life?" Gu Changge asked solemnly.
"There’s no way around it. If we don’t take the gamble, all that remains is defeat and death. I’d rather take the gamble than sit and wait for death. I’ve tried running away, but they wouldn’t spare anyone." Chen Lan said gravely.
In his first life, he tried leaving the Celestial Domain, but the Evil Race still chased him down?
From that moment, he understood that running away had no meaning. Only by facing them bravely and counterattacking was there a sliver of hope.
"If you could break through to the extremity of the Path of Invincibility, perhaps there’d be a real chance," Yang Tian said.
Chen Lan was already at the pinnacle of the Path of Invincibility. It was a truly terrifying path, even more so than the Path of Time, for invincibility was a concept. As long as one was invincible in their heart, they could be immune to everything, though the Dao heart was easily shattered.
Otherwise, it would not be called the Path of Invincibility. It was too invincible, making it extremely difficult to cultivate.
"It’s hard. The Path of Invincibility is too challenging. I had to give up someone very important to achieve completion." Chen Lan smiled bitterly.
He abandoned the perfect timeline to reach perfection in the Path of Invincibility. What would he need to abandon to take it to the extreme?
It was as people said, the Path of Invincibility is destined to be lonely. He had been naive before.
This path is not that simple.
"Alright, go have a good talk with your daughter within these three days. I heard that when she was told you had died, she fainted." Yang Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was shocked and quickly asked, "Where is she now?"
"Taken away by your subordinates, probably to a place you’re quite familiar with."
"Alright."
In an instant, Chen Lan disappeared without a trace.
"Alas, I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. Who knows if we’ll survive." Yang Tian said with a bitter smile.
"What are you talking about? We will surely win. We will destroy the Heavens." Gu Changge said.
"I hope so."
Yang Tian looked up at those space tunnels, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
...
Demon God Hall.
The Witch lay on a large bed, with the Soul-Breaking Demon God standing guard beside, when Chen Lan appeared out of thin air.
"Master." The Soul-Breaking Demon God saw Chen Lan appear and immediately knelt with arms cupped.
She had heard from others that the master had been revived, so she was calm.
"Stand up, how is she?" Chen Lan helped the Soul-Breaking Demon God to her feet and asked anxiously about the Witch.
"The Young Master is fine, just fainted from excessive grief. I noticed her constitution and didn’t dare to use Spiritual Power or other Divine Elixirs, fearing she would successfully devour and cultivate them. She should wake up tomorrow." The Soul-Breaking Demon God said in a grave tone.
The Celestial Extinction Divine Body combined with the Devouring Demon God Body — if she transmitted Spiritual Power and allowed the Witch to devour and refine it, she might immediately break through, heralding the arrival of a heavenly tribulation, which would be dangerous.
"I see. Leave this to me. You may leave now."
"Alright." The Soul-Breaking Demon God nodded and left.
Chen Lan slowly sat down, looking at the unconscious Witch, feeling bitter and self-deprecating, "I truly haven’t fulfilled my duty as a father."
"Your name, I’ll let you choose it yourself, as long as the surname is Chen, I’ve no other requirements."
He wasn’t a responsible father, so what right did he have to name the Witch?
It was better to let the child pick a nice name herself. As long as the surname was Chen, he’d be satisfied.
"In three days, I’ll be leaving here for the Heavens. Perhaps letting you remain unconscious is the best option."
Chen Lan wanted the Witch to remain unconscious for four or five days, so that when he left Blue Star for the Heavens, she wouldn’t have to witness his departure and feel sad.
At this thought, Chen Lan flicked a wisp of Demonic Qi that seeped into the Witch’s mind. This demonic energy would keep her unconscious for four or five days, after which she would naturally awaken.
He also wrote a note, placed it beside the Witch along with a Storage Ring containing all his treasures. If anything happened to him, the Witch could rely on these resources to survive, even become a powerful figure.
This was all he could do in the end.
Finally, Chen Lan leaned down and kissed the Witch gently on the forehead, smiling faintly.
"Goodbye, my child. If I can return, I’d love to hear the beautiful name you choose."
