Upon hearing Polar's words, the green-dressed girl felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She was completely dumbfounded. Father … was not coming back?
Although it was temporary, the green-dressed girl knew that things were not that simple.
"Patriarch … I …"
"Ling 'er, cultivate well. Don't be too sad. Perhaps, your father will return safely in ten years …"
Polar could not bear to see this happen, so all he could do was console the green-dressed girl. Even though he knew that with the Ancestor God's temperament, it was very likely that he would use Ling 'er's father as a vessel to rear demonic servants.
The Ancestor God was cold and heartless, or it could be said that he did not care about life at all. To the Ancestor God, all life was no different from rocks or dust. Would an artifact refiner care about the pain of throwing ores into the artifact refinement furnace?
The Ancestor God had such a feeling when he looked at all life.
"Even Uncle-Master hasn't returned …"
Someone in the crowd said. Today, the Heavenly Courts had lost two of their youngest and most promising Godly Monarchs at the Ancestor God's temple.
The Heavenly Courts' mood instantly turned heavy. The two patriarchs did not say a word as they took to the air and flew towards their palaces.
"Senior Brother, do you really plan on tampering with the array?"
War Supremacy Sky Punishment suddenly asked while flying. Back in the Ancestor God's temple, Polar had advocated for everyone to join forces to resist the Ancestor God. Now that he had returned to the Heavenly Courts and seen Ling 'er and his many young disciples, Polar seemed to strengthen his confidence.
Sky Punishment and Polar had known each other for a long time. Although Polar did not say it out loud, Sky Punishment still sensed it.
However, tampering with the Ancestor God's array was extremely dangerous. Even if it succeeded, death was certain. And all Polar could do was delay the Ancestor God's devouring of the Heavenly Dao. He could not stop it.
"Junior Brother, I've lived for quite a long time. I've lived enough. I do not wish to drag out an ignoble existence and personally bury the Chaos Heavens' martial path …" Polar sighed and shook his head. "Our two disciples will probably not return …"
"Senior Brother, do you know that if you were to foil the Ancestor God's plans, the entire Heavenly Courts would be embroiled in it. It would be destroyed because of the Ancestor God's wrath! Humanity's lineage might be severed! Without the Heavenly Courts, humanity will completely lose the right to establish itself in the Chaos Heavens. It's even possible for humanity to be destroyed. "
"Moreover, are you really confident in destroying the Ancestor God's grand formation?"
Upon hearing Yin Tian's words, Polar fell silent. The Ancestor God had spent so much effort to set up the Chaos Heavens array, so he naturally had a contingency plan. It was indeed not easy to destroy it.
It was very likely that he would be discovered by the Ancestor God midway through his plans, causing all his efforts to fail.
Polar pondered for a long while before activating the isolation array in the chamber. Then, he took out an ancient interspatial ring and said with a voice transmission, "Junior Brother … now that things have come to this, there are certain things I should tell you. Back when Human Emperor Senior Lin Ming came to the Chaos Heavens, I got acquainted with him. I helped him do some things and received Senior Lin's kindness. Senior Lin is human after all. Although he did not interfere with the matters of the Chaos Heavens, he left me something that can protect the light that shines down on humanity when he left. It's been so many years, and I have never used it. Perhaps now is the time …"
"Oh?" Xing Tian froze. "Human Emperor Senior Lin left it behind?!"
When Punishment Tian was born, Human Emperor had long left the Chaos Heavens. He had only heard many legends regarding Human Emperor, so he knew very well how powerful Human Emperor was.
The value of something he left behind that could protect the light that shone down on humanity was obvious.
This was the foundation of the Heavenly Courts.
"Senior Brother, the item you mentioned can resist the Ancestor God?"
"It's difficult, but there's always hope …" When Polar said that, his heart suddenly palpitated. With a flip of his hand, the ring vanished.
He sensed a stranger's aura.
The aura was still very far from the Heavenly Courts, but it was abnormally powerful!
Polar released his perception and radiated it in every direction, but he failed to find the person.
This made Polar tighten his heart. Who was it?
And a few seconds later, a faint figure appeared in Polar and Punishment Tian's chamber like a ghost.
It was a black-robed youth. His brows were sharp like swords, but his aura was converged. Although he knew that his strength was unfathomable, he could not tell how sharp he was.
Yi Yun!
Polar did not even need to think to immediately know the man's identity.
Apart from Yi Yun, there was no one else who could be so powerful at such a young age.
However, Polar never expected that Yi Yun would be able to sneak into his and Punishment Tian's chamber without them noticing. After all, the chamber was isolated by a massive array!
How did he do it? Had his nomological understanding reached such a level?
Yi Yun seemed to know what Polar was shocked about. He smiled and said, "You must be Senior Polar, right? I happened to see the array formation you set up. Although there were some modifications, it's essentially the same. "
Polar's array formation was something Yi Yun had seen in Human Emperor's notes. Years ago, Human Emperor had left behind some heritage in the Heavenly Courts, and Polar was actually considered half a disciple of Human Emperor.
"This …" Polar was taken aback. From the looks of it, Yi Yun had a deep connection with Human Emperor.
"I'm very sorry, Senior Polar. Although I've heard that you are righteous and unsullied, many Godly Monarchs in the Chaos Heavens have pledged their allegiance to the Ancestor God when faced with the calamity of the Ancestor God. I naturally did not dare to show myself in front of any Godly Monarch. Therefore, I hid in the Heavenly Courts and observed in secret until you took out that ring …"
Yi Yun had been in the Heavenly Courts for several days. He had witnessed the entire conversation between Polar and Punishment Sky.
Although they had used Yuan Qi voice transmissions, Yi Yun could tell from their expressions and the ring that Polar had taken out that Polar and Punishment Sky were sincere in resisting the Ancestor God. At the very least, they had not become the Ancestor God's lackeys.
And although Yi Yun did not know the origins of the ring, he could clearly sense the aura hidden within.
It was an aura that came from Human Emperor, one that was unprecedentedly intense.
It was also because of this item that Yi Yun chose to appear.
His strength alone was insufficient to resist the Ancestor God. He needed to unite all the forces that could be united.
Upon hearing Yi Yun mention the ring, Polar's heart tightened. It was the lifeblood of the Heavenly Courts, the foundation of humanity!
Now, he was being noticed by someone stronger than him. How could he not be nervous?
"Senior, do you have any misgivings regarding my stance? The Ancestor God will spare anyone but me. That's because he ultimately views me as a threat, "Yi Yun said frankly.
Anyone in the Chaos Heavens could betray the Ancestor God, but not Yi Yun.
Polar took a deep breath and took out the ancient ring again. "The ring is here. What do you want?"
