You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 842 - 224: The End of Eternal Night

He watched Xiahou Shou, and said slowly, "For a thousand years, I have been maintaining the Great Yong Divine Formation. I have long known of the existence of this mark. After the Divine Emperor's death, it has been me who urged this mark to disperse the Eternal Night. If I abandon it, the pure land of Jingzhou, away from the Eternal Night, will completely return to the Eternal Night!"

Xiahou Shou's face was indifferent, yet he did not speak.

"The Eternal Night has continued for tens of thousands of years."

The Second Prince said slowly, "Have you ever wondered why the Tai-chu, who created heaven and earth and is omnipotent, wants to destroy the world, yet hasn't succeeded for tens of thousands of years?"

Many strong figures from the Demon Clan and Human Clan heard this and already had the answer in their hearts.

"Naturally, it's because of the mark left by the Other Shore's master!"

The Second Prince said solemnly, "Because of the mark left by the Other Shore's master, there are still divine spirits surviving. Because of the mark left by the Other Shore's master, there is still a pure land far from the Eternal Night in this world. Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence that cannot be destroyed by the Eternal Night that the world has not yet reached its end."

A slight smile emerged on his lips, "If I give up dispersing the Eternal Night and let this mark disappear, how long do you think this world can exist? Will the world be destroyed in the next moment?"

Many strong figures from the Demon Clan turned pale upon hearing this.

The Tai-chu was willing to specially create three worlds for its three great offspring, the importance of the Tai-chu's offspring is imaginable.

It is also very likely that due to the master of the Other Shore, the world has not yet reached its end!

Once the mark of the master of the Other Shore dissipates, the world will completely return to the Eternal Night...

Perhaps the world will really reach its end in the next moment!

The Demon Clan is in the Eternal Night's camp, but they became mutants of the Human Clan to avoid the disasters of mutants and the Eternal Night, actually because the Demon Clan wants to survive.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor also said that relying on Xiahou Shou to welcome the advent of the Ancient World master is necessary for the future of the Demon Clan to enter the Ancient World and avoid the world-destroying Eternal Night.

If the world destruction comes now, it means ending together with the Human Clan.

"You..."

Xiahou Shou's face also turned somber, glaring at the Second Prince, and said sternly, "The mark of the Other Shore's master dissipates and the Eternal Night will reach its end? This is only your speculation!"

"It is indeed a speculation." The Second Prince smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can gamble."

Before Xiahou Shou could speak, the Demon Clan's Divine Gods and Demon Ancestors changed their expressions.

"Prison Demon God, please think twice."

"The Eternal Night not ending after tens of thousands of years is strange indeed. Perhaps it's really the case!"

"Prison Demon God, don't be impulsive."

"Prison Demon God..."

One by one, the Divine Gods and Demon Ancestors couldn't help but speak out in persuasion, fearing that the Prison Demon God would impulsively end together with the Human Clan.

Xiahou Shou's face became increasingly unpleasant.

"What about Beiyuan Mountain and fields?"

Xiahou Shou said gloomily, "The world of Beiyuan Mountain also does not have the Eternal Night. The hidden Ancient God 'Yi' is obviously dispersing the Eternal Night. Even if I kill you, the Eternal Night will not end!"

"Really?" The Second Prince mocked with a smile, "Do you think I would leave such a obvious flaw for you?"

He suddenly looked at the distant void and said, "Yi God, please show yourself."

A figure wrapped in a black robe suddenly appeared in midair. He wore a bamboo hat, carrying a black bag, his whole body exuding an aura above the world.

That was the aura of the Divine!

Many strong figures from the Human Clan were shocked to find that this Divine 'Yi' actually looked exactly like the ghost from Beiyuan Mountain who traded with one hundred thousand big money.

Perhaps, that ghost was originally a avatar of the Divine?

"Divine..."

Xiahou Shou pointed his scepter at Yi, calmly saying, "What do you intend to do?"

He was not afraid of the Divine; once he sensed the earth authority being moved, he would directly attack and kill this Divine, giving the opponent no chance.

"Just kill if you want." The Second Prince said calmly, "In the moment you strike, I will also abandon dispersing the Eternal Night, and Yi God as well. At that time, welcoming the world destruction together might be nice."

Xiahou Shou couldn't help but clench his teeth.

And the strong figures from the Demon Clan urgently began persuading.

"The Hand of the Ancient World?"

Yi slowly spoke, his voice hoarse: "Since the Hand of the Ancient World and the Ancient Divine Punishment have come to Eternal Night, it seems the Lord of the Ancient World is not yet willing for Eternal Night to end so soon?"

Xiahou Shou stared fixedly at the Second Prince, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, as if he was struggling internally.

If it were just him alone, he would naturally risk world destruction to drag the Human Clan to extinction together.

But... there are still many members of the Demon Clan.

And the Ancient Divine Punishment.

"Xiahou Shou, I will no longer assist you. If you want to take action, I will still stop you."

The indifferent voice of the Artifact Spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishment echoed in his mind, instantly worsening his mood.

"You knew this all along?" Xiahou Shou transmitted his voice.

He recalled that before the attack on Great Yong, the Artifact Spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishment had told him he might not succeed.

Now it's clear that the Ancient Divine Punishment had already sensed this point!

"My lord has not yet descended; I cannot allow you to destroy the world just like that."

The Artifact Spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishment said coldly: "If you wish to threaten me with suicide, go ahead. At worst, I'll patiently wait for the next person who can enter the Ancient World."

Xiahou Shou's face changed, uncertain.

To have him give up on personally destroying the Human Clan, how could he be willing?

But...

It seems there's no other method.

"Enough... Let's first welcome the descent of the Lord of the Ancient World. By then, I'll plead with the Lord for this merit; the destruction of the Human Clan will be a minor issue."

For a moment, thoughts swirled in Xiahou Shou's heart.

After a while, he took a deep breath, looked at the Second Prince, and said indifferently: "Such a Human Emperor, let's consider you have won this gamble; the lives of the Human Clan will be temporarily entrusted to you, but I will come to claim them."

After saying that, his cold gaze swept over the Second Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Di Hong City below, before turning into a streak of light and leaving.

The dark cloud formed by the Demon Clan army also withdrew and dispersed.

Soon, Jingzhou's sky returned to its bright clarity, as if nothing had happened.

The great sun still shone, and Di Hong City remained safe.

"Temporarily safe..."

The Second Prince slowly sighed, glanced at the Divine Emperor's body, shook his head slightly, and then waved his sleeve to collect it.

The Ancient Gods' 'Yi' glanced at the Second Prince and said: "With your current situation, you cannot leave Great Yong. Once the Lord of the Ancient World arrives, the fate of the Human Clan will be uncertain. You might as well find someone to inherit the position of Divine Emperor, for there still exists some hope to disrupt the Demon Clan's plan."

"Compared to Xiahou Shou, my strength is of little consequence." The Second Prince shook his head slightly.

This time, if it weren't for him threatening mutual destruction to win this gamble, the Human Clan would have already been extinct.

Solely based on strength, no one is a match for Xiahou Shou.

This is all he can do.

"What about King Xia?"

The Ancient Gods' 'Yi' spoke: "A few years ago, that girl took the Death Replacement Stone from me and used it, right?"

"Yes." The Second Prince nodded, "But he has not yet transcended and cannot change the situation. However... he truly is the last hope."

"Transcendence?" The Ancient Gods' 'Yi' shook his head and said: "In the Ancient Times, countless years, so many talents emerged, yet only three Primordial Children were born. To become the fourth Primordial Child so simply? It's extremely difficult."

He glanced at the Second Prince and said: "You should first find a way to locate Xiahou Shou's place for piercing the World Barrier, to welcome the Lord of the Ancient World."

The Second Prince sighed and said no more.

Xiahou Shou must strike simultaneously with the Lord of the Ancient World at a weak point of the World Barrier to possibly break it and allow the Lord of the Ancient World to descend to Eternal Night.

But the exact time and place, he didn't know.

Moreover, even if he knew, he was not confident in stopping Xiahou Shou, he could only do his best. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The greatest hope still lies with Lin Yue.
