620. Is there any hope?
Outside the headquarters of the Ancient Covenant, Lin Fei halted his steps, and behind him, many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals did the sa.
No one spoke. These beings, once viewed by many in the Divine Realm as lofty and immortal, now stood in utter silence, their eyes filled with resolve yet overshadowed by confusion and despair.
What use was montary defiance?
Once the Supres retreated, what could possibly hold back the invasion from Dark Demons?
"Fellow Daoists, whether it be Azure Emperor Supre, White Cloud Supre, or any other Supre, they have ultimately freed themselves from the bonds of the Divine Realm," Lin Fei began. "Expecting them to fight desperately against the Dark Demons, as we would, is simply unrealistic. But relying solely on our fervor is futile. We need formidable strength! We needn't think about reaching the level of the Supres. In dire tis, powerful powerhouses naturally erge. And even if we perish, we perish with purpose."
Lin Fei's words did not stir any waves. Everyone present was either a True Immortal or a Martial Ancestor, having overco countless hardships to reach their current stature. They had faced every imaginable difficulty; re words were insufficient to inspire them.
Suddenly, the Great Dream Ancestor spoke up, "Lin Fei, there's another important reason everyone followed you out today. You are a legend of the Divine Realm. You've achieved miracles, and everyone believes that even against the Dark Demons, you can work wonders.
Now, can you give us a clear answer? Do you have any assurance against the invasion of the Dark Demons? Even a one in ten thousand chance would suffice. Even the slightest hope would be a trendous inspiration for us."
All eyes turned toward Lin Fei. Though prepared to face their demise and aware that this battle could be a cataclysm for the entire Divine Realm, they still yearned to see so hope—any at all. Without even a sliver of hope, their fervor would be aningless; their hope rested with Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, the Number One Martial God of the Divine Realm, the only one to withstand nine heavenly thunders, and now a Martial Ancestor, had ascended from Martial God to Martial Ancestor in just three years. He had even managed to cleanse the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain of Dark Demon entities and escape from a Supre's clutches.
Lin Fei's many feats spoke volus: he was not just capable of miracles, he specialized in them. Lin Fei himself was a symbol of the miraculous.
Looking at the many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors gathered before him, Lin Fei chose his words carefully. He did not wish to lie. There was no point in it.
Lin Fei took a deep breath, his eyes shining like brilliant stars, radiating dazzling light.
"Of course, there is hope!" he proclaid. "In fact, the hope is greater than you might imagine! The Supres are not untouchable. I am nearly there. I require a vast amount of True Monarch-level world laws and a significant quantity of Dark Demon flesh essence. With enough of these two resources, even if I do not ascend to Supre status, I can match or even surpass most Supres!"
Lin Fei's declaration was resolute, a testant to his confidence. To him, becoming a Supre was never the ultimate goal. Lin Fei never considered the Supres unattainable. His Eternal Realm only needed to evolve to the True Monarch level. With that transformation, Lin Fei was certain of his potential.
Even if not a Supre, his power would certainly rival one!
In ti, if the Illusory Realm also transford, when combined with the Eternal Realm, how many Supres could stand against Lin Fei?
"Excellent, hope—Lin Fei is our hope, and indeed the hope of the entire Divine Realm!" responded the Great Dream Ancestor.
"As long as there's hope, I believe in Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Since Martial Ancestor Lin is so confident, why don't we lend him our support?"
"Indeed, we, the Ancient Covenant, with so many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals, may be able to confront the Supres of the Dark Demon Domain directly."
"Yes, we can help gather True Monarch-level world laws and even the flesh essence of the Dark Demons, right?"
"Exactly, that's what we should do. Fellow Daoist Lin, rest assured, we will do our utmost to find True Monarch-level world laws and the flesh essence of Dark Demon entities for you."
"I have so exotic beast flesh essence here; would that be useful?"
"I also have a True Monarch-level world law to offer Lin..."
Promptly, many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors began to produce various essences and world laws.
Lin Fei did not hesitate to accept them all. He realized that indeed, he could quickly enhance his strength with ample supplies of flesh essence and world laws. His power was formidable, but ultimately, he was one person.
If he were to gather these resources slowly, how long would it take? But now, with the entire Ancient Covenant's True Immortals and Martial Ancestors helping him, it would be much easier.
"Thank you, everyone," Lin Fei bowed, expressing his gratitude to the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you're welco," they replied. "We hope that you will soon possess power rivaling a Supre. Then, the entire Divine Realm will indeed rely on fellow daoist Lin!"
As the many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors dispersed to gather what Lin Fei needed, White Cloud Supre watched with a cold smirk, dismissively remarking, "A group of True Immortals and Martial Ancestors who truly don't understand what it ans to be a Supre. Do they really think they can cultivate a Supre by pooling everyone's strength? How ludicrous! And to think they can do it in such a short ti? This Lin Fei indeed possesses so talent and insight. But to think that re talent and insight are enough to achieve Supre status—that's simply absurd."
White Cloud Supre shook his head, skeptical of Lin Fei and the actions of the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, even carrying a hint of mockery in his tone.
However, Azure Emperor Supre remained silent. He too had once climbed from the lowest ranks to beco a revered Supre, standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm.
Yet now, he had lost his edge, choosing to flee in the face of the Dark Demon Domain. Watching Lin Fei, he was reminded of his own past fervor and confidence. Perhaps, he thought, so decisions might truly have been mistakes.
Suddenly, Azure Emperor Supre opened his eyes, seemingly having made a decision. He spoke solemnly, "White Cloud Supre, I am not planning to leave the Divine Realm just yet. If we must leave, it will only be when all hope is truly lost. And right now, the Divine Realm is far from that point."
This sudden change in stance from Azure Emperor Supre—to stay and continue resisting the Dark Demon Domain within the Divine Realm—took White Cloud Supre by surprise, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Azure Emperor, you've gone mad," White Cloud Supre exclaid. "To think that you'd be swayed by such a group. Do you really believe they can create miracles? Without the Supres, the Divine Realm will surely fall! Moreover, it's not just who is leaving—many other Supres are as well. Even if you stay, what difference will it make? Do you actually believe that Lin Fei can create a miracle?"
Despite his persuasion, Azure Emperor Supre's eyes sparkled with a trace of resolve, hinting at a deeper conviction. "Yes, perhaps that Lin Fei really can create a miracle," he said aningfully.
