Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3328: Dignity and Glory

At the foot of Mount Xuan Pin.

Su Zimo and Die Yue lived in seclusion here and did not participate in this event that was extremely important to the human race.

The two of them yearned to live a carefree and peaceful life far away from killing and fighting.

Of course, when they heard the cheers from afar and realized that a Saint had appeared in the human race, Su Zimo and Die Yue were delighted and celebrated.

As they chatted, Su Zimo suddenly thought of something and asked, “I’ve seen the Saint race of the five Sanctuaries. All these years, I don’t think I’ve seen any of the Saint race of the Life Sanctuary. Has there been no bloodline that survived?”

“There’s no Saint race in the Life Sanctuary.”

Die Yue shook her head. “According to the Mountain Chief, even more than six billion years ago, the Life Sanctuary did not have a Saint race.”

“It’s a little strange.”

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

The symbol of the Saint race was bloodline atavism.

Could it be that the living beings of the Life Sanctuary would not show signs of bloodline atavism?

“Bloodline atavism…”

Su Zimo murmured softly in deep thought.

For the past three days.

As usual, the two of them worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, no different from usual.

However, this morning, the two of them felt something strange at the same time.

At this time every day, many people in the nearby villages woke up one after another to work. Smoke curled from their houses.

The running of children and berating of adults intertwined and awakened the exuberant lifeforce of this paradise.

However, at that moment, the surroundings were silent and lifeless.

It was strangely quiet.

It was so quiet that it was oppressive.

Su Zimo frowned internally and exchanged glances with Die Yue. Both of them could see the strange look in the other party’s eyes.

There was definitely no fight or blood stench around Mount Xuan Pin. Otherwise, the two of them would have sensed it long ago.

Right then, a girl ran over from afar with tears on her face.

She was the one who told Su Zimo about Die Yue in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.

All these years, Su Zimo had long heard Die Yue mention that this girl’s name was Hai Tang and she was the daughter of the woodcutter.

10,000 years ago, he had already entered the Dao Hegemony realm and became a Dao Supremacy.

When she approached, Hai Tang threw herself into Die Yue’s arms and cried loudly.

“What’s going on?”

Die Yue caressed Hai Tang’s back and asked gently.

“Father and the others are trapped inside and have no way out.”

Hai Tang’s eyes were already red from crying.

“Hmm?”

Die Yue frowned slightly and asked, “Didn’t your father have no intention of entering the Space Time Forbidden Ground? Tell me slowly what happened.”

Hai Tang pursed her lips and sobbed continuously, trying her best to calm her breathing. “After Paramount Supremacy Jiang Chao and Paramount Hui Ming became Saints, the Paramount Supremacies of the human race inside attracted immense hostility from the other experts.”

“Under the instigation of a few people from the Sanctuaries, the Paramount Supremacies of the various races joined forces to chase the hundreds of human Paramount Supremacies out of the Space Time Forbidden Ground.”

Su Zimo and Die Yue frowned when they heard that.

Hai Tang continued, “That’s the Life Sanctuary of the human race. Naturally, the human Paramount Supremacies were unwilling to leave. As the two sides faced off, a conflict broke out.”

Su Zimo asked, “Where’s Saint Jiang Chao and Saint Hui Ming?”

“They have already returned to Mount Xuan Pin.”

Hai Tang said, “They can’t stay in the Life Sanctuary after becoming Saints.”

Pausing for a moment, Hai Tang continued, “Furthermore, this is a conflict between Paramount Supremacy experts. They’re Saints and can’t interfere.”

“And after?”

Die Yue asked.

Hai Tang continued, “When Father and the other three uncles saw that the situation was bad, they entered the Life Sanctuary and prepared to persuade the human Paramount Supremacies to return.”

“At the very least, if they returned to the major chiliocosm, they could have a chance of synthesizing with the Dao to become Saints in the future. If they died within, they would have no chance at all.”

“However, the situation changed rapidly. By the time Father and the other three arrived, the situation had already spiraled out of control and both parties wanted to fight to the death! Father and the other three were also deeply involved and had nowhere to retreat. They could only lead the human Paramount Supremacies to fight their way out and retreat to Life City that was close by.”

At that point, Hai Tang cried once more.

“Father and the others can’t hold on any longer. What should we do?!”

In that short period of time, Su Zimo, Die Yue and Hai Tang had already arrived near the spatial node and saw a large crowd around it.

The atmosphere in the vast and endless crowd was extremely oppressive. There were only occasional sobs. Everyone had sorrowful expressions and was watching the scene reflected by the spatial node.

Su Zimo and Die Yue looked up as well.

Combat and killing were happening everywhere in the Space Time Forbidden Ground. It was chaotic and flames of war flew.

The largest battlefield was in Life City.

Above the dilapidated ancient city, many Paramount Supremacy experts stood in midair, emitting a powerful aura that surrounded Life City and covered the skies!

There were not many empty Great Dao Saint Positions. Many Paramount Supremacies who cultivated the same Great Dao were already hostile towards each other.

However, the Paramount Supremacies could still restrain themselves and abide by some tacit rules, trying their best to maintain balance.

Prior to this, all the Paramount Supremacies tacitly agreed to a rule.

Even if they cultivated the same Great Dao, they would have to rely on their own capabilities to see who could successfully synthesize with the Dao.

The appearance of the human Paramount Supremacies who stole providence broke that balance.

The birth of two Human Saints in succession caused a huge commotion among the ten thousand races!

Even the Paramount Supremacies of the five Sanctuaries were not confident that they could defeat the Paramount Supremacies of the human race. As such, they stood out to incite the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races to chase the Paramount Supremacies of the human race out of the Space Time Forbidden Ground.

That action was equivalent to breaking the unspoken rules in the hearts of the Paramount Supremacies!

If they could use force to clear the obstacles ahead and seize the Great Dao Saint Positions, others could do the same!

At this point, the Paramount Supremacies of the various races fell into a chaotic battle for the Great Dao Saint Positions!

Although the Paramount Supremacies of the five Sanctuaries were not from the Saint race, they still had unshakable statuses and prestige that surpassed the ten thousand races.

Under their call, more and more Paramount Supremacy experts gathered under them and rapidly formed five of the largest factions!

The current situation was getting clearer. The only way one could avoid being targeted was by joining one of the five Sanctuaries.

Even if some Paramount Supremacy experts were not hostile to the human race, they would choose to join the five Sanctuaries in order to protect themselves.

At that moment, there were already 300,000 Paramount Supremacy experts around Life City.

Furthermore, the number was still increasing rapidly!

Even through the spatial node, when they saw this scene, they could sense the pressure of the Paramount Supremacy experts—it was suffocating!

At that moment, the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races had only one goal in gathering here.

The hundreds of human Paramount Supremacies in Life City!

Under the continuous attacks of the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races, Life City had long shattered into ruins.

Even the palace that was originally on the verge of collapse had now collapsed fully.

There was only a Life Stone left on the ruins.

As well as… a group of human Paramount Supremacies surrounding the Life Stone!

Although the city was destroyed and the palace collapsed, they were still alive!

“Saint Jiang Chao, Saint Hui Ming, please step in and bring them back!”

“That’s right. You guys are the only ones who can resolve this situation.”

The human cultivators could not stand it anymore and turned to look at the two Saints, Jiang Chao and Hui Ming, who had just advanced to the Saint realm.

Saint Jiang Chao had a troubled expression. “The other races have Saints and so do the five Sanctuaries. Once we appear and break the balance, the Saints of the various races and even the five Sanctuaries might appear. At that time…”

At that point, Saint Jiang Chao lowered his head slightly and sighed.

Saint Hui Ming did not dare to meet the gazes of many humans either. He lowered his head with a guilty expression.

The main reason why they did not dare to appear was because they were worried that they would offend the Sanctuaries and attract Divine Punishment if they interfered.

“Are we just going to watch our human Paramount Supremacies die inside?”

“Can anyone save them?”

The cries in the crowd intensified.

The Mountain Chief frowned with a bitter expression and remained silent, the sorrow in his eyes intensifying.

In the Space Time Forbidden Ground.

The human Paramount Supremacies were already covered in injuries. However, every single one of them had fearless expressions and stood with their heads raised without any intention of retreating!

Even against powerful enemies that were ten or a hundred times stronger, these human Paramount Supremacies would not submit!

The difference between them was way too great.

They were already prepared to die. Even though they knew that there was no hope, they did not give up resisting!

It was as though an invisible force was supporting them.

“He’s so stupid. Why won’t he back down?”

A pregnant woman could not help but cry when she saw her Dao Companion stuck in that deadly situation. “The people of the Sanctuaries just said that as long as he’s willing to destroy his Great Dao, he can survive…”

“What are they persevering for? Is it worth it?” Someone was immersed in his heartache and asked in a daze.

“Dignity and glory.”

A woman’s voice sounded. It was calm but powerful.

Everyone looked over and saw Su Zimo and Die Yue walking through the crowd.

Everyone was deep in thought and vaguely understood something.

When they turned to look at the human Paramount Supremacies in the Space Time Forbidden Ground once more, they suddenly felt a strong psychological impact and tears welled up in their eyes!

Those people stepped on the ruins of the ancient city and protected the dignity of the human race with their lives. With their backs against the Life Stone, they protected the glory of the human race with their blood!

Su Zimo and Die Yue exchanged glances and understood each other’s intentions at the same time.

Die Yue had died once and was reborn. She was long tired of fighting and killing.

In fact, she did not care much about the Saint realm or eternal life.

Su Zimo cultivated the entire way and finally found Die Yue. He lived a calm and leisurely life and was long tired of fighting and killing.

However, when they saw that the human race was in trouble and bullied, they did not hesitate at all and decided to join forces once more to head to the Space Time Forbidden Ground!

Die Yue brought Hai Tang to the Mountain Chief’s side and bowed slightly.

“Sister Die, w-where are you guys going?”

Hai Tang seemed to have realized something and asked with a trembling voice.

“We’re going to bring your father back.”

Die Yue smiled gently.

“Don’t, it’s too dangerous inside!”

Although Hai Tang was worried about her father, she did not want Die Yue to take the risk and sink into that deadly situation as well.

“You’re only at lesser mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm. Are you confident?”

Lin Xuanji leaned over as well and looked at Su Zimo, asking in a low voice, “Why don’t you stay outside? Don’t follow her in and drag her down.”

Su Zimo smiled and did not explain. He walked together with Die Yue and headed towards the spatial node of the Space Time Forbidden Ground under everyone’s shocked gazes.

Even Saints Jiang Chao and Hui Ming raised their heads and looked at them in disbelief.

Against dozens of Paramount Supremacy experts, entering at this moment was simply courting death!

It was understandable for those human Paramount Supremacies within who had nowhere to retreat to die for their dignities and glory.

However, why were the two of them doing this?

“Mountain Chief, persuade them, please!”

Hai Tang had a worried expression and could not help but say.

The Mountain Chief looked at their backs in silence. However, the worry in his eyes seemed to have faded a little.
