Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

The far west.

Before the lingering effects of the Dark Demon King's complete disappearance had completely dissipated, the eight demonic statues that had just advanced to the lower-level Earthly Sovereigns roared in unison before transforming into eight streams of light and returning to the tower wall.

The tower trembled slightly, slowly shrank, and fell into Lin Langtian's brow.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the spatial rift that stretched across the sky and was still twisting and spewing out residual demonic energy.

That was the source of the Dark Demon Clan's invasion, a scar on the Xuanwu Continent.

If it is not completely smoothed out, there will definitely be future troubles.

Help someone to the very end, and see them through to the end.

Although the Xuanwu Continent had nothing to do with him, his journey involved devouring five demon generals and one demon king, greatly increasing the power of the 'Eight Heavenly Demons,' so he managed to finish well.

"It's time to end this."

Lin Langtian took a deep breath and forced himself to activate the last remaining power of the Primordial Ancestral Symbol within his body.

On the palm of his hand, the primordial light was as faint as a firefly, yet it still stubbornly shone.

He communicated with the continent beneath his feet through his mind. Although he was not the master of this world, after he killed the Dark Demon King, the original will of the Xuanwu Continent was filled with gratitude and affinity towards him.

A faint power of the earth rose from the depths of the continent and flowed into his body.

Lin Langtian closed his eyes and slowly formed a hand seal.

It was an extremely ancient hand seal, using the power of a region to heal spatial wounds.

"By my order, seal it off!"

He let out a low shout, and the faint primordial yellow light in his palm flew out, swelled in the wind, and transformed into a huge talisman that blotted out the sky, slowly imprinting itself onto the hideous spatial rift.

Wherever the talisman passed, the wildly twisted demonic energy, as if encountering its nemesis, hissed and quickly dissolved.

Under the pressure of the runes, the spatial fragments at the edge of the crack began to slowly converge and mend.

"Rumble..."

A dull, thunderous roar came from the depths of the crack.

That was the sound of the spatial structure violently reorganizing and healing.

Finally, when the enormous rune completely disappeared into the crack.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling light burst forth from the crack, disappearing in an instant.

As the light faded, the sky became crystal clear.

The terrifying rift that had stretched for months and devoured countless lives had completely disappeared.

Only a few wisps of demonic energy, rapidly dissipating, bear witness to what had happened.

Lin Langtian gazed at the sky, now restored to its original state, and a weak yet relieved smile appeared on his lips.

Finally... it's over.

As Lin Langtian was sighing, countless beams of light and shadow rapidly swept in from all directions.

"senior!"

"Your Majesty!"

"benefactor!"

The high-ranking members of the alliance in Sleeping Valley, the remaining leaders of various forces, and even countless ordinary cultivators, could not contain their joy and gratitude upon sensing that the rift had disappeared and the battle was over. They rushed to the far west without regard for anything else.

The first to arrive were Alliance Leader Jin Feng and Zhao Xuanfeng.

Jin Feng knelt on one knee, his tiger-like eyes filled with tears, his voice trembling with excitement: "Senior...you, you really did it! The Dark Demon King and the Five Demon Generals have all been slain! The Xuanwu Continent is saved!"

Behind him, a sea of ​​people knelt down, their cries of weeping and gratitude forming a torrent.

"The Xuanwu Continent will never forget your great kindness!"

"Please accept our bow, senior!"

Lin Langtian did not stop them. He floated quietly in the air, receiving the heartfelt gratitude and respect from these billions of living beings.

A moment later, he raised his left hand, making a gesture of support.

"Get up, everyone."

His voice was still weak, but it carried an undeniable power.

The crowd slowly rose, their gazes still fixed on him with fervor.

Lin Langtian glanced at these wounded people, whose eyes had been rekindled with hope, and nodded slightly: "The Dark Demon has been eliminated, the rift has been sealed. From now on, the Xuanwu Continent should recuperate and rebuild its land."

He paused, then said, "This trip of mine was just something I did on a whim, so you don't need to worry about it. If we are truly destined to meet again, we may meet again in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.

"Senior! Are you leaving?"

"Since your injuries are so severe, please allow us to offer our meager assistance. We will wait until you recover before..."

"Yes, senior! You are the savior of our Xuanwu Continent. We are willing to devote the strength of our entire clan to honoring you!"

Lin Langtian waved his hand, stopping everyone from trying to persuade him to stay.

His gaze swept past the crowd, looking towards the distant horizon—the direction he had come from, and the place he was going.

“Mr. Lin has important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer.” He looked at Jin Feng.

"Alliance Leader Jin, you should all take good care of yourselves in the future. This world has great potential. If we can unite as one, we may be able to secure a place for ourselves in the vast world."

Jin Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed deeply: "This junior will remember your teachings, senior! If there is anything you can do for the Xuanwu Continent, senior, just send a message and I will go through fire and water for you!"

Lin Langtian nodded slightly and said no more.

This intervention was merely an act of helping someone in need, so there's no need to linger for long.

The next moment, he moved slightly, transforming into a faint stream of dark yellow light that pierced through the clouds and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

All that remained were the people kneeling on the ground, unable to rise for a long time.

……

The vast world, the Qiankun Continent.

When Lin Langtian finally saw that familiar continent after traversing the endless void, it was two months later.

Over the past two months, he has been traveling while slowly nourishing his physical body with the power of the Primordial Ancestral Symbol, and his injuries have been almost completely healed.

He slowed down, looking down from the heavens.

The Qiankun Continent remains vast and boundless, rich in spiritual energy, with magnificent mountains and rivers.

But Lin Langtian vaguely sensed that the world on this continent seemed to be filled with an aura that was more intense and majestic than ever before.

That was... the lingering power of a supreme being?
He raised an eyebrow, already having some guesses in his mind.

The next moment, Lin Langtian appeared outside the gate of the Qiankun Sect in a flash.

The mountain gate remained majestic, and the sect's protective array was activated, emitting a faint golden light.

But Lin Langtian could clearly sense that within the light barrier, an aura as vast as the sea and as majestic as a mountain was slowly circulating.

That was the unique pressure belonging to a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, and the sect's prestige was many times stronger than before he left.

"Oh, could it be that the sect leader... has broken through to the upper-level Earthly Sovereign?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

After the continental hunting war ended, Lin Langtian gave Qian Tian a drop of spiritual liquid to help him recover from his injuries. However, he did not expect that in just a few years, the latter would make progress again and become a superior earthly sovereign.

Lin Langtian was naturally overjoyed by this, after all, he was now a member of the Qiankun Sect, and before going to the Nine Nether Continent, he was promoted to vice sect master by Qian Tian, ​​so his relationship with the Qiankun Sect was one of shared prosperity and decline.

Now that Qian Tian has advanced to the position of Earthly Sovereign, it is conceivable that the power of the Qiankun Sect has also greatly increased, which is also a significant boost for Lin Langtian.

"Hehe, I've been away for so long, I wonder how Silver Mist Palace is doing. Let's go check it out..."

Lin Langtian smiled and murmured.

Without alerting the disciples guarding the mountain, he moved subtly and passed through the sect's protective array, heading towards the rear area of ​​the sect, which was in the direction of Silver Mist Palace. (End of Chapter)
