On the 27th day of the second month, in the dense forest of East Mountain in Lingnan Province, the majestic army of the empire stopped at the foot of the mountain. Long Qianlin rode up the mountain to welcome Qin Yi.
After the crushing defeat at Canglin Valley, Qin Yi's hair had turned white as if it was covered with a layer of frost.
Long Qianlin dismounted and knelt on the ground, "I came late, please forgive me, Commander!"
"Commander Long, please rise …"
Qin Yi personally helped Long Qianlin up, his eyes were filled with gratitude, "Commander Long has brought 200,000 men, leaving such a strong force for our Yihe Country, it is a great merit!"
Long Qianlin looked up at Qin Yi, "Commander, has Marshal Ji Yao really surrendered to the enemy?"
"Yes."
Qin Yi nodded, "I misjudged Ji Yao, he is such a cowardly person. Commander Long, do you know what happened at Bai Ling City?"
"I know."
Long Qianlin said in a deep voice, "Qin Yin has already stepped into the Divine State. When she fought with Tang Xiaoxi in the sky above the Hundred Ridge City, the explosion of power formed a blood-red abyss. The abyss is so deep that you can't see its bottom. It's called the 'Crimson Abyss'. Commander, the Crimson Abyss is still expanding. I'm afraid that the Hundred Ridge City can no longer be the capital."
Qin Yi murmured, "Yes, I have the same thought. According to Commander Long, what do you think we should do?"
Long Qianlin said, "QianFeng's army is in a stalemate with Lin Muyu's army outside Canglin Valley, they have suffered great losses, the demonic race's food supplies are cut off, they will definitely retreat soon. At that time, Lin Muyu will meet up with Xiang Yu, Tang Zhen, Luo Xin and the others, they have at least 300,000 soldiers, their morale is high, and they have the support of the mysterious cannons, it will be hard for us to win head-on. In my opinion, why don't we go around Bai Ling City, head for Yu City, and seek help from Venerable Luo Lan of the Seven World Palaces."
"Commander Long, are you going to give up Lingnan Province?" Lingnan Province was Qin Yi's fief. He naturally wasn't willing to give it up so easily.
Long Qianlin then said, "There is no longer any danger in Lingnan Province to defend. Once Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and Xiang Yu's armies arrive, it will be a flat plain and with the power of the heavy artillery, we will not be able to fight against them. But Clear Mountain Province and Ling Kong Province have high mountains as a barrier so it would not be easy for them to attack. We must retreat in order to advance and then send a letter to Marshal Ding Xi in Xiyang City. With the east and west coordinating, we will be ready to counterattack the Empire's army."
"Alright, we'll do as Commander Long says!"
In the evening, the mighty army of Yihe Country left the forest and headed straight for Mingshan Province.
…
In the southernmost part of Lingnan Province, surrounded by mountains, stood a magnificent palace. This was the Seven World Palace, Luo Lan's residence in the mortal world. It was also one of the most luxurious palaces in this world.
"Immortal Sovereign."
A disciple knelt respectfully on a praying mat and said, "Master Han Jun has died for his country."
"What? Han Jun is dead? "
Luo Lan's eyes were cold as she asked, "Are you sure?"
"Very sure, he was killed by Tang Xiaoxi in her nine-tailed form, but …" The disciple's lips curled into a smile, "I have good news for you, Immortal Sovereign."
"Speak!"
"Tang Xiaoxi vented her anger on Qin Yin and killed Qin Yin. Half of Bai Ling City was destroyed, and Tang Xiaoxi most likely died in this disaster. Furthermore, according to our information, Qin Yin stepped into the Immortal State from the Holy King Realm, and the Godhead she condensed was extremely powerful. It should be the Godhead of Heaven's Will as recorded in the ancient books. When Qin Yin died, the Blood Abyss turned into a sea of lava, and Qin Yin's power crystallized from the lava. These crystallized golden crystals filled with spiritual energy, and if you can obtain these crystals for cultivation, you should be able to absorb a portion of the Overgod's power."
"Is that so?"
Luo Lan couldn't help but stand up, "Is what you said true?"
"Absolutely."
"Good. Disciples, follow me to the Blood Abyss. I want to see the place where Qin Yin's Overgod Godhead fell."
"Yes!"
…
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the outskirts of the Hundred Ridge City. Dozens of miles of the Blood Abyss were evaporating with scorching power. From afar, it looked like a living hell. The people of the Hundred Ridge City were scrambling to escape. Everyone knew that the Blood Abyss was still expanding. If they didn't leave, it would be equivalent to waiting for death.
Thud, thud, thud …
Amidst the galloping of a horse, a rider galloped over.
When he saw the Blood Abyss, Lin Muyu felt a lump in his throat, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He could feel the energy pervading the Blood Abyss. It was the energy of Qin Yin's Firmament Dragon Crystal.
"Xiao Yin …"
He dismounted from the horse and knelt at the edge of the Blood Abyss in a daze. He looked into the depths of the abyss, trembling all over. He curled up there like a wounded beast, howling and crying. No one knew Qin Yin's strength better than Lin Muyu. Given Qin Yin's current strength, it was impossible for her to be killed by Tang Xiaoxi. The only explanation was that Qin Yin would rather be killed by Tang Xiaoxi than hurt Tang Xiaoxi with her own strength.
However, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi both died in the Blood Abyss in the end.
"Ah … Ah …"
Lin Muyu howled and cried like a mad beast. His strength burst forth without any concealment, turning into a strong airflow that swept in all directions. Wave after wave of power impacted the fertile land. There were faint thunders in the sky, and even the earth was slowly trembling in response to Lin Muyu's strength.
He had thought that he was the happiest person in the world with Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi. However, at this moment, Lin Muyu had lost everything. There was only despair left in his heart.
…
"Sir …" Wei Chou looked at Lin Muyu from afar. His nose felt a lump in his throat, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Situ Xue was sobbing uncontrollably. While wiping her tears, she asked Situ Sen, "Brother, tell me … why did this happen? Commander is such a good person. Why did God treat him like this?"
Situ Sen was silent. After a while, he said, "There are many things in the world. Who can say for sure …"
At this moment, Lin Muyu suddenly stood up and jumped into the Blood Abyss!
"Sir!"
Situ Xue was scared out of her wits. "No!"
Situ Sen and Wei Chou hurriedly flew forward. However, they only saw the rolling golden flames in the Blood Abyss and the blood-red lava. They could no longer see Lin Muyu's figure.
"Why … Why …" Situ Xue sat at the edge of the abyss and couldn't help but wail.
Situ Sen slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his proud head. "Lin Muyu, you will always be the glory of the Empire. I, Situ Sen … am honored to be your subordinate!"
Wei Chou stood there dumbfounded. He didn't move an inch. It was as if the sky had collapsed. The playful Lin Muyu, the resourceful Longdan Army Camp Commander, the Grand Deacon Lin Muyu of the Temple, and the outstanding Lin Muyu of the Blood Abyss had died just like that. The power in the Blood Abyss was surging. How many people could survive after jumping into it?
…
"Puff …"
There was a burning pain all over his body. Lin Muyu swam in the boiling lava. His robe was instantly burned, leaving only the armor and weapons protected by the Divine Seal. His face was full of fatigue and embarrassment, but more than that, he was disheartened. What could be more painful than losing Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi at the same time?
The blood in his Yi Hai was getting thicker and thicker, almost suffocating him. In this way, he urged Fuxi's divine power to resist the erosion of the Blood Abyss. Lin Muyu swam to the place where Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi both died. In front of him, Qin Yin's breath was getting thicker and thicker.
Tears flowed down uncontrollably, splashing into the lava. With a puff, they instantly evaporated, bringing with them an astringent air current that assaulted her eyes.
When Lin Muyu arrived there, he saw a black rock standing up from the Blood Abyss. Around it, there was a golden luster. That should be the essence of Qin Yin's godhead, right?
"Xiao Yin …"
Lin Muyu stretched out his palm, wanting to hold it, but the essence of the godhead instantly shattered into nothingness, turning into rays of golden light and disappearing into the air.
"Xiao Yin …"
Lin Muyu knelt on the rock, holding the Stars Sword with one hand. He pierced the blade into the rock to support his body. Soon, the dust in the Blood Abyss continued to fall, fusing with the rock. Lin Muyu's leg slowly petrified, becoming a part of the rock.
He, actually chose to petrify himself.
Lin Muyu's Yi Hai was in a complete mess. She looked into the sky and let out a heart-wrenching roar, "Seven Brilliance Demon Monarch! Big Brother! Did you see that? Help me, help me … "
…
Outside the Myriad Worlds and Stars, the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor stood at the edge of the palace in a daze, watching the scene in the Heaven Lake Illusory Ocean. His eyes reddened and tears almost fell. He clenched his fists and muttered, "Silly boy, why are you so stubborn …"
At the side, a beautiful Divine level expert dressed in a long dress said softly, "Demon Emperor... Yu is your brother. Since you care so much about him, why don't you help him?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't."
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor sighed and said, "There is a cycle of reincarnation in life and death. Even gods will die. Moreover … Qin Yin is a god with a God's Mandate. Once her God's Mandate perishes, she can only escape into reincarnation. No one can save her …"
"Sigh, then what should we do?"
"This is Yu's destiny, his tribulation, his Dao. If Yu can see through this tribulation and prove his Dao, he will naturally be able to see through everything. Unfortunately, this silly boy … Ziyao, I can't do anything about this … You should pay more attention. If it's possible, go to the mortal world and help me persuade this boy. You have the God's Mandate of Life. Maybe you can help him."
The corner of Ziyao's mouth curled up slightly and she said with a faint smile, "Demon Emperor, you said it yourself. This is his Dao. Only he can see through it."
"Sigh …"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor sighed and turned to leave.
Ziyao smiled and looked at the scene in the mortal world. She said, "Yu, oh Yu, Qin Yin's soul should have been destroyed. I can only help you up to this point. Don't give up …"
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the Crimson Abyss, Lin Muyu was covered in dust. He knelt there like a stone statue, holding the Stellar Sword that had lost its luster. Everything below his chest had become one with the rock.
"Whoosh …"
The wind in the air moved and an old figure appeared. It was Qin Han.
Looking at Lin Muyu's current state, Qin Han's heart ached. He said softly, "Yu, my child … Why do you have to torture yourself like this?"
Lin Muyu knelt on the ground in silence, not saying a word.
Qin Han landed on the ground like an immortal and stood in front of him. He said, "Everything in the world has its karma. I know you love Xiao Yin deeply, but it's time to let go of everything. You and Xiao Yin met and knew each other in Lanyan City. This is fate. Xiao Yin was willing to fall in the Crimson Abyss. This is fate. Xiao Yin can let go. Why do you have to be so obsessed? "
At this time, Lin Muyu finally raised her head and looked at Qin Han. She said softly, "It's not my obsession. It's just that in life, if one doesn't pursue the person they love, then what's the point of living?"
"…"
…
Qin Han was silent for a long time. "This is your Dao. If you can prove your Dao, you will be able to see the Godly State. If you can't see through it, you will make a mistake for the rest of your life. Ancestor is about to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Yu … Take care of yourself!"
