Chapter 3527: Chapter 3522: A Hundred Years in a Blink of an Eye_1
Yang Chen felt a touch of desolation in his heart.
After the realization, he didn’t know if he could defeat Yan.
However, without that realization, with his current strength, facing Yan would leave him almost no chance of victory.
With that thought, Yang Chen clenched his teeth.
If it was just him, he wouldn’t be afraid; even if it meant death, he would fight Yan.
The Nine Sect Founder and all the other powerful ones had chosen this path, and Yang Chen could empathize with their feelings and would make the same choice.
However, he had promised the Nine Sect Founder.
Yang Chen fell into contemplation.
Should he face the difficulties or avoid fighting?
"Can I avoid it?" Yang Chen thought to himself.
He left Bi Shuangxing, as it no longer brought him any advantages.
After that, Yang Chen quietly returned to the human territory, the Taiyuan Star System.
In his world, ten thousand years had already passed, but in the Taiyuan Star System and the outside world, it was just a blink of an eye.
He thought of his wife, Zhang Xuelian.
She had always been in the Grand Abyss Palace, not yet entering his world.
Now, Yang Chen came to the Grand Abyss Palace.
In the vast Grand Abyss Palace, many Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses and Heavenly Fate Realm experts had already entered Yang Chen’s world.
When Yang Chen arrived now, only some Sky-separating Realm experts were still garrisoning here, yet unaware of what had happened. Many things were shrouded in mystery.
Upon his arrival, Yang Chen soon found Zhang Xuelian.
Zhang Xuelian was sitting quietly by a small lake, looking into the distance without speaking.
"Xuelian, let’s go," Yang Chen said. "I’m here to get you."
"Go? Where to, into your world?" Zhang Xuelian turned around, seemingly not surprised by Yang Chen’s arrival, and spoke softly.
Yang Chen nodded.
Zhang Xuelian coldly said, "You should know that the reason why I haven’t been in a hurry to enter your world is that I’ve been waiting for you."
"Waiting for me?" Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask, "What are you waiting for me for?"
"As a wife, it is only natural for me to help my husband through his confusion," Zhang Xuelian said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing her words, Yang Chen reluctantly smiled, "I can’t hide anything from you. Indeed, I am at a loss right now."
"It’s about Yan?" Zhang Xuelian asked.
"Exactly," Yang Chen replied.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Xuelian asked.
Yang Chen resolutely said, "I want to fight Yan. In my eyes, backing down has never solved anything. Before, there were so many Dao Creator Realm experts backing me, but now it’s different. However, I have to be responsible for the Human Race. If I go, what will happen to so many humans? How will I face the Nine Sect Founder in the Underworld?"
Zhang Xuelian said, "Do as your heart desires; your choice now is the right one."
"The right one?" Yang Chen was puzzled.
"You can’t avoid this battle, as shown by the divination symbol. If you choose to back down, your morale will already be weakened. If you fight Yan, you will undoubtedly lose," Zhang Xuelian said. "You should understand this principle."
Yang Chen understood.
Powerful ones can’t afford to have a shred of doubt in battle.
Even a tiny bit of hesitation will result in certain defeat.
This was why the Taiqiu Dao Ancestor, the Nine Sect Founder, and even Ye Xiu never shied away from a fight.
If they harbored even a slight idea of besieging Yan, they would already be at a disadvantage, and victory over him would be impossible.
This was also the reason why Ye Xiu was able to fight Yan to the very end.
Ye Xiu never considered retreating or besieging Yan, and he never wavered in his self-confidence. If he had lost faith in himself, he would have only one path left: defeat.
"If I don’t choose to avoid him, what are my chances of winning?" Yang Chen asked.
"I can’t figure it out," Zhang Xuelian said. "Your battle with Yan will determine the direction of the entire universe, which is beyond my ability now. I just want to tell you to follow your heart. From today onwards, I will enter your world. If you live, I will live; if you fall, I will accompany you."
Yang Chen trembled upon hearing her words.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
"Xuelian, thank you," Yang Chen said solemnly, then embraced Zhang Xuelian deeply.
Zhang Xuelian finally entered his world.
As for Yang Chen, he fell into contemplation and confusion in the deserted Grand Abyss Palace.
He knew that powerful ones shouldn’t retreat in battle; he wouldn’t either. But he lacked self-confidence.
With what could he fight Yan?
In ten thousand years, he hadn’t had any insights. With his current strength, fighting Yan would leave him no chance of victory.
With that thought, Yang Chen clenched his fists.
But soon, he shuddered and woke up, "No, how can I think like that?"
Losing confidence before the battle, he would have no chance of winning this time.
"Although ten thousand years have passed, I still have one hundred years left, don’t I?"
Yang Chen’s face was solemn, "As long as I have this one hundred years, it means I still have hope!"
Yang Chen showed a smile, a smile of letting go of everything.
For this one hundred years, he would be completely focused. There would be no Human Race, no entire universe, no outcome of his battle with Yan, no anything at all.
In his heart, there was only Dao creation, realization, and realm...
This was his last gamble.
Yang Chen sat by the deserted lake in the Grand Abyss Palace.
One hundred years was incredibly fast for Yang Chen and Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators. It was only a moment...
Immersed in cultivation, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
For the past one hundred years, Yang Chen had diligently cultivated, completely absorbed.
However, regarding the self-created Law, he still couldn’t comprehend anything. Trying to create a new Law was incredibly difficult, especially for him, who had multiple Laws. It was almost impossible to comprehend a new Law.
However, Yang Chen was not without gain.
In the past hundred years, he had realized something special. Although this special thing had not yet taken shape, it was not entirely unhelpful for the upcoming battle.
Yang Chen knew that this battle was inevitable.
He had made it clear to the human Dao Ancestors that they could either stay in his world or leave, and that it was their choice. He wouldn’t blame them for whatever choice they made.
These powerful ones either chose to stay in Yang Chen’s world or to leave, making different choices.
Having resolved the matters within his own world,
Yang Chen arrived at the Earth Spirit Hall early.
Soon after he arrived at the Earth Spirit Hall, the hundred-year deadline arrived...
Yan’s figure had not yet appeared, but Yang Chen had already sensed the terrifying howl from afar...
