The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2929 Everyone can be a hero; how can we judge the future based on the present?

Is the Immortal-Demon Passage permanently open?
Wouldn't the war between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm then expand indefinitely, until they fight to the death?

This is not a battle between humans and demons in the primordial world; it is a conflict between two realms that will determine the fate of billions of immortals and countless ordinary humans!

If the Immortal Realm fails and the Demon Race occupies it, the immortals will become the targets of slaughter, either submitting or dying, while ordinary humans will become the lowest of the low, becoming slaves of the Demon Race.

Lin Chen felt incredibly heavy-hearted as he thought about the possible scenarios.

Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses. Huh, why would Mu Tianjun tell him something so important?

Who are you?

Does a mere Grand Luo Immortal of mediocre strength need to tell me something so important?
Lin Chen frankly asked the question that had been bothering him: "Palace Master, why are you telling me, a... nobody, about something so important?"

Mu Tianjun smiled and said, "Heroes are made by the times. Under the tide of the times, everyone is a small person, but everyone has the potential to become a hero. How can we judge the future based on the present?"

Mu Tianjun stared at Lin Chen: "Do you believe in fate?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "It's mysterious and profound. I believe it exists, but I can't explain why."

Mu Tianjun chuckled and said, "By chance, you unlocked the sword talisman that suppressed the Crimson Calamity, which led to our meeting. Let me ask you, if I hadn't invited you to the Crimson Immortal Realm that day, would you have come to the Crimson Immortal Realm, or would you have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm? Or rather, would you have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm at that opportune time?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I caused some trouble in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, so I came to the Crimson Immortal Realm for refuge. If it weren't for the Palace Master's invitation, I might have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, but it would have been later, and I would definitely have missed the time when the Demon Clan set up the teleportation array..."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Palace Master, it is said that you are proficient in divination and predicting the future. Could it be that you foresaw all of this?"

Mu Tianjun shook his head: "If I could foresee the appearance of the demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, I wouldn't need you to stumble upon them. I would have already notified the Book Sea Pavilion and had them prepare with all their might, waiting for them to come to us and wiping them out in one fell swoop."

"Whether it's divination or predicting the future, what you see are just scattered fragments. If you're lucky, these fragments might help you confirm something. If you're unlucky, you'll gain nothing but some mysterious feelings."

"When suppressing the Crimson Calamity, I cast a divination and vaguely learned that the person who would break the suppression of the Crimson Calamity would be someone with a destiny related to the war between immortals and demons, but I didn't know exactly how that destiny would be." "Even after meeting you, I cast another divination, and the result was still unclear, but I became even more certain of one thing: your future is related to this place."

"I'm not sure if this connection is inevitable, expected, or a change of fate. I just think that since the divination shows it this way, let's wait and see. And then, many years later, you stumbled upon the demons' smuggling plan in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, saving the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm and the lives of countless immortals."

"Perhaps this is destiny; you and I are both under its control."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds: "Is there no one who can see through the destiny of heaven and reach beyond it? Even the Immortal Emperor can't do it?"

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "The Mandate of Heaven exists forever, and even a sage cannot escape it. However, a sage can know the Mandate of Heaven and even change it, but that is not something that we quasi-sages can do."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "The immortals and demons fought twenty-seven times. The demon race should also have saints, right? Did the saints never make a move? Did the immortal emperor never make a move?"

"Of course, and more than once."

Mu Tianjun replied, "Soldiers have their opponents, generals have their opponents, and commanders have their opponents. The Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor clashed many times in the Outer Heavens, but ultimately no one was able to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, this war in the Immortal-Demon Passage should have ended long ago."

Lin Chen blinked: "The Outer Heavens?"

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "A sage can destroy the heavens and the earth and collapse the continent with a wave of his hand. If we were to fight in this Crimson Immortal Realm, wouldn't the Immortal Realm collapse as well?"

“Powerful immortals might be able to escape from such a calamity and go to other immortal realms, but what about the countless ordinary humans in the Crimson Immortal Realm? Wouldn’t they all be wiped out?”

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Isn't the Demon Clan going to conquer the Crimson Immortal Realm? Why doesn't the Demon Emperor just set up the battlefield directly in the Crimson Immortal Realm?"

Mu Tianjun calmly replied, "With the Immortal-Demon passage open, the Demon Emperor can come to the Crimson Immortal Realm to run wild, and the Immortal Emperor can go to the Demon Realm as well. They will destroy each other, wreak havoc and kill each other, but there will be no benefit to them. It will only push things to a more extreme side."

"When the demons attacked the immortal realm, what they wanted was resources and complete conquest, not utter destruction..."
