Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1248 Neither hoping nor yearning

"To stand in for one's parents...?"

Xiao Se murmured unconsciously. It seemed that the other party had not simply set out because they sensed such a powerful enemy had appeared beside their daughter.

"..."

Lin Dong simply smiled at Xiao Se's momentary doubts, remaining noncommittal.

Seeing Lin Dong's ambiguous smile, Xiao Se didn't pursue the matter too much and simply nodded.

"Thank you very much for your help, Uncle Lin Dong."

"It's alright—besides, even if no one helps Xiao Se, this Devouring Demon can't escape your grasp."

Lin Dong smiled faintly.

"Really? Dad? Is he really that amazing?"

Lin Jing blinked and asked.

"Brother Xiao's son is no less glorious than his parents."

Lin shook his head. Although he understood that there was a difference of several hundred years between them, and that given a hundred years, his daughter's achievements might not be inferior to the other's, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

“Your father isn’t so blind yet; he wouldn’t be so mistaken about something like this.”

"It's just a matter of putting in more effort."

"In the end, I couldn't compare to my father and mother in making a fool of myself in front of my uncle."

Xiao Se unconsciously pursed his lips, but Lin Dong clearly did not think so: "There is no reason why offspring can necessarily surpass their fathers, otherwise the Great Thousand World would not have been trapped in this evil race disaster for tens of thousands of years without being able to escape."

"So why bother with such meaningless questions?"

Lin Dong let out a breath. Unlike his mischievous daughter, he had met Xiao Se several times during his visits to the Endless Fire Domain over the past few hundred years.

Lin Dong was quite amazed by the descendants of Emperor Yan and Empress Xuan.

While geniuses like him may have emerged throughout the world, it takes a bloody baptism for a genius to grow into a true powerhouse.

Part of the reason why their kind of existence cannot be born again in their increasingly stable world is naturally the lack of this external stimulus.

But the boy in front of us is clearly not so easily judged.

After all, he stepped onto the battlefield at a young age, and whether it was the Maha Ancient Clan or countless evil races, they were all formidable opponents.

It's not surprising that the Maha Ancient Clan would fearfully refer to the boy before them as a weapon forged by the Ashen Daughter.

"...Let's not talk about that anymore. Now that the Demon Emperor has been captured, then..."

Xiao Se turned his head, and a wisp of dawn and dusk firelight landed on the neglected, pitch-black demon head in the corner, rapidly melting the filthy demonic energy covering it.

The demonic energy was cleansed, and the crystal-clear spiritual energy condensed into an illusory figure, exactly like the Heavenly Emperor disguised as the Demon Emperor.

"This is the true Heavenly Emperor...?"

The people present exchanged glances, but even if they had some thoughts about the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, it was not their place to interfere. The Emperor's son and the Martial Ancestor were figures who could shake the entire world with a stomp of their feet; how could they possibly have a say in their affairs?

Even so, since we've come all this way, even though we can't count on the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, we've still seen the world.

After all, these two are Heavenly Sovereigns, and they are not people you can meet whenever you want.

"I am ashamed that we have to rely on the help of our descendants to fight against the past." "However, it seems that there are many powerful people emerging in the Great Thousand World now, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the Great Thousand World."

"Our predecessors have shown great righteousness, and we, their descendants, have received their kindness and should therefore help them in return."

Xiao Se clasped his hands and said, "If it weren't for the many powerful figures who went one after another to suppress the demons, and even one of them suppressing the Demon Emperor, the Great Thousand World might have been destroyed a thousand years ago, and there would be no present day."

Lin Dong nodded, then raised his hand. In his palm, beneath layers of azure light, the ferocious light of the Devouring Demon Emperor was revealed, constantly trying to break through the azure light.

"Heavenly Emperor, if it weren't for anyone else, I would have won today, I should have won!"

"Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, back when you wore down my two avatars, you arrogantly boasted that if I wanted to defeat you, two more Saint-level beings would have to come. What, times have changed, two Saint-level beings have come, and you've still lost. Are you still unwilling to admit defeat?"

The Heavenly Emperor merely smiled and asked a question in return. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the Heavenly Emperor Sword, completely annihilating the demon's last breath.

Xiao Se had no objection to this; he was only there to protect his sister and had no interest in the past events of this place.

Since it's possible to let him resolve this cause and effect himself, that would be the best outcome.

As for other things, they didn't matter to Xiao Se.

She glanced at her sister beside her without thinking, and when she felt his gaze, Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback, then gave him a charming smile.

Upon seeing his sister's smile, Xiao Se's expression relaxed considerably.

All that's left to do is wrap things up.

The Heavenly Emperor sent away the other Earthly Sovereigns who came in response to their desires, leaving only a few people with whom he still had some connection.

"...I wonder if you two have any interest in my One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique?"

Facing Xiao Se and Lin Dong, the Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly.

Putting Lin Dong aside for the moment, the young man in front of him certainly did not look inferior to him back then, and he was also still young.

Although he may not be the best candidate, he is at least the one who will bring things to a close, so he has no choice but to speak up.

Lin Dong smiled faintly and shook his head. Respecting the predecessors who fought bloody battles is one thing, but it is obviously not very nice to compete with the descendants for the inheritance.

At the same time, Lin Dong couldn't help but look at Xiao Se.

However, Xiao Se is clearly different. He is still very young and his mind has not fully matured, as evidenced by his youthful appearance.

It is perfectly acceptable to refer to a predecessor from tens of thousands of years ago as a respected teacher.

"No, I don't need it."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Se shook his head and replied, "My father and mother once told me that I have my own path to walk, which is a necessary condition for reaching the level above the Saintly rank."

"Furthermore, I do not wish for anything, nor do I crave anything."

"...It seems I misjudged him."

The Heavenly Emperor straightened his expression slightly, and Lin Dong was also somewhat surprised. He saw the Heavenly Emperor cup his hands towards Xiao Se, never expecting that such a young man had already reached this point, which made him seem somewhat underestimated.

Xiao Se remained silent, but subconsciously glanced at Mu Chen beside the mandala. If he were to choose someone, Mu Chen, who had been holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword when he descended earlier, would be quite suitable.

However, it seems that you don't need to say anything yourself.

After confirming that neither of them had such intentions, the Heavenly Emperor did indeed turn his attention to Mu Chen.
