The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1248 The Emperor's Declaration
Central China, Alliance Headquarters.

The huge conference room was packed with people, who were arguing heatedly.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Central Divine Continent was reduced to ruins. It took the human race ten thousand years to gradually recover it. Now that the demon army has arrived, are we going to run away with our tails between our legs again? Are we going to let them reduce the Central Divine Continent to ruins once more?"

"Ten thousand years ago, there were eight ancient families in the Central Divine Continent that were extremely powerful. Weren't they all utterly destroyed? Are we as strong as those eight ancient families? If we stay, it's not resistance, it's just throwing our lives away!"

“I agree with a temporary withdrawal. We can take advantage of the vast depth of Central China to widen and expand the demon race’s battle lines, disperse their forces, and then gather the strength of the other states in the rear before defeating them one by one.”

"I don't agree with retreating. Even if we can't fight the demon army head-on, we can still fight a guerrilla war with them and delay their advance."

"We usually act like tyrants, but now that the demon army has arrived, we run away and don't even dare to fight back. What are we then?"

"Fight? How? With your head?"

Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, a council member of the alliance led a cultivator from Winterfrost City into the venue.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The Emperor has sent a message."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.

Human Emperor?

The cultivator from Winterfrost City took out the image-recording stone prepared by Lin Chen, infused it with spiritual power, and Lin Chen's image immediately appeared in mid-air.

"I am Lin Chen, the Human Emperor. I am currently on the front line of the Central Divine Continent battlefield and have already defeated all the vanguard forces of the demon race."

More than half a year ago, the demon race implemented the Thousand Cities Plan, sending many powerful demons to infiltrate and turn countless city lords against their will, preparing for an elite attack that would lead to the complete rebellion of the thousand cities and their return to the demon race.

I rushed to Dongsheng Prefecture and arranged to meet the Demon Emperor outside Shengge City. I tried to dissuade him from implementing the Thousand Cities Plan. After a small battle, the Demon Emperor promised me to stop the plan. However, half a year later, he suddenly went back on his word, launched a massive army attack, and colluded with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect to refine the residents of many cities into Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pearls.

After investigating this matter, I learned that an immortal descended upon Holy City and instructed the Demon Emperor to mobilize the entire demon army. One purpose was to unify the Wilderness Realm, trample the human race underfoot, and make them slaves of the demon race. The other purpose was to force me and the immortal behind me to come out.

Yes, I also have an immortal backer. She is Yao Xuanji, the only daughter of Yao Xiong, the lord of the Thunder Immortal Domain above the Desolate Realm, while the immortal backer of the demon race is Wei Jiao, the daughter of the Thunder Domain Lord's chief guard..."

Everyone listened to Lin Chen's story in stunned silence, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost. Wasn't this supposed to be a conflict between the demon race and the human race?

Why did we suddenly get onto the topic of immortals?
Lin Chen actually has an immortal behind him, and she's even the daughter of the Immortal Realm Lord.
This is too exaggerated!

As Lin Chen explained, everyone gradually understood, and their gazes grew increasingly fervent.

"That's the reason. I won't go into more detail. I'll just talk about the present. The current war between the demon race and the human race is actually a conflict between the two immortals, Yao Xuanji and Wei Jiao. The reason why the ascension passage was closed back then was also because of this."

Wei Jiao won, and Fairy Xuanji was permanently suppressed. I will not discuss the future of the demon race, but the human race is destined to be completely subjugated, becoming slaves of the demon race, and even being refined into blood beads, with no hope of ever rising again.

Fairy Xuanji has won. She will return to the Immortal Realm. As the daughter of the Realm Lord, she has sufficient power. She will help us rebuild the ascension passage, allowing human powerhouses to ascend to immortality.

This is a war that gambles with the future.

You either win everything or you lose everything; there is no third option.

Everyone is the master of their own life. You can choose your own destiny. You can stand up and fight, hide and escape, or even choose to join the demon race. It's up to you, I don't force you.

The Ascension Passage is a bridge, and the end of this bridge is in the Immortal Realm. Now we are going to build a bridge. In the process of building the bridge, there will be bloodshed and people will die. If the bridge is completed, those who have contributed to the bridge, shed blood, or even sacrificed their lives will receive the merits and treatment they deserve. As for those who have not contributed, they should not complain about why they cannot be the same as others.

The situation is not yet fully clear, so I am not asking everyone to go to the front lines for the time being. However, we need to be prepared for battle and the evacuation of residents from the front-line cities. Therefore, I have designated several cities as rendezvous points..."

After explaining the assembly process and points to note, Lin Chen paused briefly at the end.

"Actually, I could have hidden away. With immortals by my side, I would have been the safest person. But I didn't hide. It's not because I'm the Human Emperor, but because I'm just a human."

"I may not have the courage to die a heroic death, but I will do my best, not for anything else, but so that one day in the future, when I look back, I will not feel ashamed of my actions, and I can say with my hands on my chest that I did my best and have a clear conscience!"

"Ten thousand years ago, humanity finally triumphed. Ten thousand years later, another catastrophe has befallen humanity. I believe we will still be the ultimate victors!"

"The human race will win!"
