Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 462 Reclaiming the Lost Land (Part 2)

Zhongzhou, Xiba.

Although this city has no legends related to the celestial realm, it has existed for an incredibly long time, having witnessed the changes of dynasties, the baptism of endless wars, and the vicissitudes of human life and the cycle of heaven and earth.

Over the long years, Xiba City has become one of the ten ancient cities in Central China and enjoys a long-standing reputation.

Another very important point is that Xiba City is very close to Qishi Prefecture, only a short distance of more than 5,000 li, which makes it even more lively on weekdays.

After Qin Sheng returned to the Yao Guang Holy Land, Ye Fan came to this ancient city alone and met with the Black Emperor and Duan De.

Pang Bo left first. The Azure Emperor lineage sent him a message through the Qishi Mansion, telling him to return to the Eastern Wilderness immediately. Ye Fan told him to go first, and that he would find a way to return later.

Furthermore, the things Master Ye is about to do are not really suitable for Pang Bo to participate in.

The three scourges of the Big Dipper are all incredibly resilient and powerful, far surpassing Pang Bo, whose mere demon god bloodline is no match for them.

The three scourges are always risking their lives, yet they never seem to die no matter what they do. How many lives do other people have to play along with them?

"Where is he...?" Ye Fan, now with a changed appearance, wandered through Xiba City, his eyes gleaming.

Finally, outside the palace gates of the Great Xia Dynasty located here, he saw two slender figures.

Under his all-seeing eye, no disguise could be concealed, and he saw through the true forms of the two figures.

A fat Taoist priest in a Taoist robe and a black dog that stands and walks upright like a human—the identities of this group couldn't be clearer.

Duan De and the Black Emperor were wreaking havoc in other places while Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue were adventuring across the world.

"The light shines brightly, and the spiritual energy is boundless. There must be a great treasure inside." The Black Emperor drooled.

"You fatso, think of something quick."

“I do have a plan,” Duan De said seriously.

"Oh? Where did this plan come from?"

“I’ll sell you to the Great Xia Treasure Palace as a spirit beast. They might put you in their treasure vault, and then you’ll be like a dog thrown into a cesspool, free from all restraint.”

Hearing what these two said, Ye Fan's eye twitched. Sometimes, being on par with these two oddballs was quite unpleasant.

For the first eight months, Duan De and Hei Huang had approached Ye Fan, inviting him to join their operation, but Master Ye knew those two bastards too well and decisively refused.

He himself didn't really care. After all, he had been called one of the three evils of Beidou for so many years and there was no turning back. But before, Little Moon was still around.

Ye Fan knew better than anyone how exciting and dangerous life would be after the three evils combined, and he didn't want to involve Ji Ziyue.

Moreover, if he were to leave the quirky and clever Little Moon with him and instead choose to be with a dog and a fat guy, then there would definitely be something wrong with his thinking.

Little Moon single-handedly sealed away the three evil spirits of the Big Dipper in their entirety for eight months, a truly meritorious act.

But in the battle where Ji Ziyue's physique was exposed, Little Moon was injured, which really angered Ye Fan.

Do you think everyone else is stupid just because you don't get angry?
People of Beidou, you must know that in my heart there is both Buddha and demon, but I have sealed the demon deep inside, leaving only Buddha. I originally wanted to face everyone with the heart of a Bodhisattva, but someone insisted on removing the demon from my heart.

Then I want to ask you, when you face a real demon appearing in the world, can you still keep it in check?
After eight months of self-cultivation, Ye Fan decided to return to the martial world, leaving a deep impression on this ancient territory before leaving Zhongzhou.

Seeing that Dao Yi and the dog were about to leave, Ye Fan walked up and patted Duan De on the shoulder.

"You've arrived?" Duan De said, having already noticed Ye Fan.

"I am coming."

"You should have come sooner."

“I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a bad person.”

Black Emperor glanced at Ye Fan with disdain. "Ye kid, how many rotten things have you done in the past? Aren't you rotten?"

The black dog laughed at the black leaves, which belonged to the category of "black dog laughing at the black leaves".

"The Ruthless Emperor is not forgiven by the world only because he devoured human essence. If he didn't have that, then compared to you, this emperor is really child's play." Duan De deeply agreed.

"The legacy of ruthless people is bound to bring endless harm. If I have the chance, I must personally stop the legacy of ruthless people!"

Ye Fan spoke firmly, explaining that his good brother was cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and although he was making rapid progress, it came at the cost of killing him on a spiritual level time and time again.

Without anyone noticing, Qin Xianren has developed a split personality. What will become of my dearest friend in the future?

The thought that Qin Sheng might one day become a mad old man, a mad immortal, made Ye Fan feel pain, it was just too painful.

This is all because of the Ruthless Emperor's legacy; the Ruthless Emperor is too evil!
Once my Holy Body is fully developed, I will create a world without the Devouring Heaven Demon Art!

What do you want with us?

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at a corner of Xiba City, where the sun did not shine and the area was in the shadows, making their expressions appear quite gloomy.

"The three of us brothers are of one mind, what could possibly happen? Of course, it's a great thing!" After being battered by reality, Master Ye has become quite shameless.

"Then tell me, where are we going to make our fortune this time?" Duan De and Hei Huang were both very interested, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the appointment.

"Come closer and whisper in my ear..." Ye Fan said mysteriously.

A man and a dog approached, listening to Ye Fan's outrageous plan. After a while, Black Emperor barked:
"Damn, Ye kid, I wasn't wrong about you. You're rotten to the core, too ruthless... but not ruthless enough."

“Yes, your idea is good, but if you’re going to do it, then go all out and go completely crazy.”

Duan Defei nodded quickly, "The three of us will get ready and unleash our most powerful skills to show the world that the Four Heroes of the Heavens are not to be trifled with!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Do I still need to practice?

Here's another little-known fact: the Four Heroes of the Heavens have never been bullied.

"Alright, then let's go all out and fight until we have no regrets!" Ye Fan nodded.

"However, all the preparations are not simple matters; they are both laborious and costly," Black Emperor said, changing the subject.

“Young Ye, you take out five million catties of resources as start-up capital. After the matter is completed, you will return it in full.”

"Get lost." Ye Fan wasn't buying it. You still want to fool me? If you fall for it again, I'll be a complete idiot.

Black King was disappointed, but not obsessed; he was just taking a shot regardless of the outcome.

"Speaking of which, we received news that the man surnamed Qin has already left the pass and seems to have returned to the Eastern Wilderness," Duan De said indignantly.

"Brothers, while we were struggling to make ends meet out there, this bastard got all sorts of benefits from Qishi Mansion, and now he's just slipped away without a word. He doesn't care about us at all!"

I'm afraid my brother will keep you in his heart, while you'll hang your brother on a tree.

"When Immortal Qin returns this time, he will become the Holy Lord of Yao Guang." Ye Fan felt a sense of longing and had an idea in his mind.

I must bring him a grand gift to celebrate his taking charge of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Duan De was very envious. "The four heroes of the heavens are clearly of the same blood, but while we were still wandering, he secretly became one of the masters of the Eastern Wilderness."

"This is a shameful betrayal!"

"Daoist Master, Black Emperor, are you going back to the Eastern Wilderness later?" Ye Fan asked casually.

"The Eastern Wilderness is in some turmoil..." The Black Emperor hadn't decided yet.

“The ancient clans have come down from the mountain. Purple Mountain is also known as Ancient Emperor Mountain, the Daoist temple of the ancient god, the Immortal Emperor. Those ancient clans will definitely have their eyes on that place,” Ye Fan reminded him.

"Woof!" Black King protested.

"Those inside are my treasures!"

……

When Qin Sheng agreed to succeed to the position of Holy Lord, the high-ranking members of Yao Guang were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.

The ruthless faction, represented by the Dragon Pattern Peak Master, was more than happy to see the Holy Son ascend the throne. It was practically certain that the Yao Guang Holy Land would fall into their hands.

Why worry that the ruthless lineage won't achieve its great goal?
With Qin Sheng's power firmly established and beyond resistance, the Holy Lord's faction, led by Li Daoqing, abdicated on their own, thus earning a reputation for virtue and preventing the situation from becoming too ugly.

Qin Sheng's ascension to the throne was the will of Heaven, and the will of Heaven cannot be defied.

Most importantly, over the past ten years, Li Daoqing and the others have realized that although they are all inheritors of the ruthless man, the Holy Son is different.

Finally, those who neither knew that Qin Sheng was the inheritor of the Ruthless Man's legacy nor belonged to the Holy Lord's lineage were even happier.

Our own holy land has produced such a powerful person. If we don't choose him, are we supposed to choose Yao Guang? That would be a decision only someone whose brain has been shaken by the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron could make.

Given that they themselves have no chance of becoming the Holy Lord, this group of people will consider anyone who becomes the Holy Lord as long as they can make the Holy Land bigger and stronger.

It was obvious that there was no one more suitable than Qin Sheng. Everyone agreed that the Holy Land would surely prosper under the leadership of the Holy Son.

No one was hurt, and a world that satisfied everyone emerged.

If Heaven had not given birth to me, the immortal of the Eastern Wilderness, the Yao Guang era would have been shrouded in eternal darkness.

"Alright, then in seven days, when everything is ready, we will hold the succession ceremony." Li Daoqing waved his hand, making the decision, as if to give his last bit of his energy.

Qin Sheng didn't need to worry about the preparations; he only needed to appear at the appropriate time.

"It's not that I want to become the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, it's that this world is forcing me to become the Holy Lord," Qin Sheng sighed inwardly.

“If I don’t become the Holy Lord, I can’t protect the Yao Guang Holy Land; if I become the Holy Lord, I will lose the life of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains.”

Qin Sheng was disappointed. He had no interest in the Holy Lord of Yao Guang. His happiest time was when he was an ordinary disciple of Yao Guang.

No, Qin Sheng never served as an ordinary disciple of Yao Guang Peak. He was a core disciple of Dragon Pattern Peak from the very beginning, enjoying the treatment of a candidate for Holy Son.

Sometimes I wonder, how high does a position in the Holy Land have to be to be considered high-ranking?

Yao Xi was still taking notes: 'Lord Li abdicated, and the Yao Guang Holy Land officially welcomed a master loyal to him. But I know, it will be very, very difficult for the Holy Son. Compared to this heavy responsibility, the Holy Son actually prefers to chat with me over tea. After all, I only care about the Holy Son, unlike Junior Sister Weiwei who is so cunning…'

"Holy Son, is there anything else you would like to say?" Li Daoqing asked gently.

"Then I'll just say a few words." Qin Sheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering for a moment on Yao Guang.

"With my current cultivation level, it is indeed inappropriate for me to remain in the position of Holy Son. However, Yao Guang cannot be without a Holy Son for even a day. Everyone is welcome to recommend candidates."

Qin Sheng intended to reinstate Yao Guang to the position of Holy Son, after all, he was indeed a genius and capable of shouldering this great responsibility.

As Qin Sheng's successor, the next Holy Son will undoubtedly attract much attention, and people will certainly compare him with Dong Xian.

Currently, no one in Beidou can compare to Qin Sheng; this is a consensus among everyone. However, the new Holy Son of Yaoguang cannot be too weak, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the Yaoguang Holy Land.

What's the difference between losing face for the Holy Land and slapping the face of the Holy Lord Qin?
Looking across the entire Holy Land, Yao Guang is the only choice. This person can definitely hold his own and is truly second to none.

Qin Sheng also has plans for the next Holy Maiden after Yao Xi, which will be taken over by the Fairy Spirit Eye Weiwei.

Of all the people in the entire Yao Guang Holy Land, Qin Sheng had the highest hopes for Yao Guang and Weiwei, believing that the two of them were destined for great things.

Of course, Yao Guang Holy Land is democratic and free, not Qin Sheng's one-man show. Yao Guang and Weiwei are just what he thinks are suitable.

If others have any opinions, they can raise them; Qin Sheng has always advocated freedom of speech.

"The Holy Son is right." Peak Master Longwen nodded, fully supporting Qin Sheng.

“It is indeed time to choose a new, powerful Holy Son.”

"Then let's follow the rules, the most capable rise," Li Daoqing said readily. After all, the selection of the new Holy Son was something that would happen after his abdication, so he wouldn't be held responsible for the outcome. "That's all in your hearts. Now, the second matter," Qin Sheng continued.

"A great change is coming to the world. A golden age that may be even more brilliant than the era of the Great Emperor Wushi is about to arrive. In the future, anything is possible, and even the lineage of the Great Emperors is at risk of destruction."

Qin Sheng was not exaggerating. If this was just a normal golden age that would eventually give rise to a powerful emperor, then at most a few ordinary holy lands would perish in the process.

But with the opening of the path to immortality in this life, supreme beings from forbidden zones are emerging one after another—a number that is now in the double digits. All living beings in the universe may perish.

In the original storyline, the imperial weapons of the Shenzhou Dynasty and the Guhua Dynasty were shattered by the Supreme Being, causing tragedy for the entire dynasty.

If you think that having an imperial weapon means you can rest easy, you are sorely mistaken and will surely pay a heavy price.

"But great chaos and great risk also bring great opportunities. There are many things we cannot control; the only thing we can do is cultivate ourselves and become stronger," Qin Sheng said.

"I brought back a lot of basic resources from Ziwei. The treatment of the disciples of the Holy Land should be improved in order to enhance the overall strength of the Holy Land and meet the challenges of the future."

Previously, the Holy Land also had to consider sustainable development. After all, Yao Guang was not only passed down for ten thousand years, and many things had to be accumulated and used sparingly.

For example, with resources, you can spend them freely today, but what if the resources run out tomorrow?
However, in this life, immortal paths, immortal realms, and immortals will appear. Once Qin Sheng attains enlightenment and becomes an immortal, he will be able to access a wider world and more resources. Naturally, many things cannot be viewed with the old perspective or developed with the old ideas.

After a pause, Qin Sheng's expression turned serious. "There is one more crucial matter: the Holy Land must undergo internal reforms. I do not wish for any evildoers to emerge."

Qin Sheng spoke directly and ruthlessly, "No matter which peak master's offspring he is, or which family's disciple he is, whoever dares to cause trouble, I will kill him."

Now that Qin Sheng is renowned throughout the world, the Yao Guang Holy Land has subtly surpassed the Ji family in the Eastern Wilderness, which is certainly a good thing.

But as the saying goes, "In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds." Some people take pride in this and strive to improve themselves, while others will take it as a disgrace and ruin their reputation.

This is something Qin Sheng would never allow. Anyone who dares to do this will be exterminated by Dong Xian.

There is no right or wrong, good or evil, on the path of the Great Emperor, but how many can truly walk the path of God?

Qin Sheng knew all too well what kind of people the aristocratic families of the Heavenly Shroud were; the greater their power, the greater their appetite, and the greater their slaughter.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there is no distinction between good and evil, but Qin Sheng still hopes that the people of the Yao Guang Holy Land will act like human beings.

It's fine to be arrogant when fighting for treasures; if you're capable, you can even dominate the battlefield. It's perfectly normal to retaliate when others provoke you.

If the battle of the Licheng Underground Palace were to be repeated at this time, and if any disciple of the Yaoguang Holy Land had the ability to kill everyone, then no matter how much trouble he caused, the Holy Land would be willing to be his backer.

But if you become lawless just because Qin Sheng has become powerful, and then try to bully and harass other people's partners after you've taken a liking to them on the street, then Dong Xian will personally finish you off.

Even the ruthless faction, Qin Sheng will keep them in check.

In the original timeline, the main responsibility for Wang Teng's gradual transformation into a mortal enemy of Ye Fan lies with his father and his spoiled younger brother.

Therefore, Qin Sheng's first task upon assuming power was to rigorously strengthen the building of work style, firmly establishing the mindset of consistently, thoroughly, and persistently addressing this issue. He needed to intensify work style education through various means, guiding the disciples of the sacred site to strengthen their theoretical foundation and build a solid ideological bulwark.

He doesn't intend to build the Yao Guang Holy Land into a righteous sect where everyone is a saint. The atmosphere in the world of Shrouding the Heavens is like this, and it's difficult to completely change it.

But you can't be too bad, right?

Everyone felt Qin Sheng's determination and killing intent. After a moment of silence, someone asked:

"Holy Son, what constitutes rebellion?"

"What should be done and what shouldn't be done? You're all hundreds or thousands of years old, do I need to teach you?" Qin Sheng retorted.

The man was speechless.

They were calling us elders just now, but now they're complaining that we're too old.

"Like Ye Fan, the Holy Body, who initially had no grudges against any side, but was chased from the Eastern Wilderness to the Central State because he had a treasure on him..." Qin Sheng shook his head.

Everyone understood. So the reason the Holy Son brought up this matter was because of Ye Fan?

The bond between the Holy Son and the Holy Body is stronger than gold.

"I will definitely carry this out; there is no room for negotiation." Qin Sheng then asked:

"Who among you objects? You can say so now. I have said that I accept everyone's supervision."

Everyone: "..."

The Holy Son will officially become the Holy Lord in seven days, yet he's already so forceful. I don't even dare to imagine what will happen in seven days.

While Qin Sheng was exchanging ideas with the experts from Yao Guang, Xiao Nannan and the others remained quiet.

Silver Glitter felt a mix of emotions at that moment.

Last year, I traveled to Beidou. During this time, I truly noticed the differences between the two ancient stars. Compared to Ziwei, Beidou cultivators are more confident and disciplined. Some forces, despite possessing imperial weapons, can still coexist peacefully with other minor holy lands.

At first, I subconsciously thought that this was a difference caused by the different strengths of the two cultivation worlds. It wasn't until Jin Shanshan pulled me aside and explained it to me that I suddenly realized that it was a kind of inheritance.

The fact that the Beidou cultivators did not use their imperial weapons to sink the ancient star undoubtedly shows great goodwill and is very touching. I can't help but wonder, if the Ziwei cultivators had imperial weapons, could they have been so restrained?
We must admit that there is indeed a difference between the two ancient stars, and we Ziwei cultivators need to reflect on this.

No one dared to oppose Qin Sheng. The gazes of the three kings were like daggers piercing their skin. No one wanted to know what the consequences would be for going against the Holy Son at this time.

The Holy Son wants to rectify the conduct of the Holy Land and guide everything in a positive direction, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten how to perform the Holy Combat Technique.

“I agree with the Holy Son’s idea,” Li Daoqing was the first to agree.

"There are some things we really shouldn't do; we need to have a moral compass in our hearts."

"I support you." Peak Master Longwen said succinctly, though he was somewhat annoyed that Li Daoqing had spoken first.

"Alright, I'll just talk about these three things for now."

"Holy Son, do you need us to make arrangements for King Silver Moon and King Phoenix Dragon?" someone asked.

These two kings were like ancient beasts pulling a cart and driving a carriage to Qin Sheng, but given their cultivation levels, the people of the Yao Guang Holy Land couldn't possibly treat them as servants.

"No need," Qin Sheng said after thinking for a moment.
"The Phoenix Dragon King and the Silver Moon King care about the younger generation and are willing to guide their disciples in cultivation. You should inform the Yao Guang disciples that if they have any questions about cultivation, they can seek their guidance, and they will provide it when the opportunity arises."

"You can also ask, but whether they answer is entirely up to them and depends on whether they have the time."

In front of outsiders, Qin Sheng also gave the Golden and Silver Twin Blades face, referring to them as kings.

“You may come to see me when I have free time,” Silver Flash said confidently.

With its current cultivation level, normal seclusion is meaningless. To break through in these last few years of suppression by the Azure Emperor's Great Dao, it only needs a flash of inspiration.

Or, once the Azure Emperor's Great Dao completely dissipates, with Yin Shanshan's accumulated experience and talent, becoming a saint will be a natural outcome.

The path to becoming a king is arduous. After arriving in this great era, I dare not say I am a quasi-emperor, but I have a very good chance of becoming a great sage.

The Golden Crow King of Ziwei, in the original timeline, did not die when Ye Fan first went to Ziwei, but when he went to Ziwei a second time, he had already cultivated to the level of Saint King.

It should be noted that Ye Fan at that time was only at the peak of Saint King, just one step away from becoming a Great Saint.

If the Golden Crow King hadn't been killed by Ye Fan and his group, the Great Sage would definitely have had a chance.

The era of hardship suppressed too many people. Those who could become living fossils during such times and hone their Seven Forbidden Battle Power had a great chance of becoming saints or ancestors after the world was restored.

After receiving the promise of both gold and silver, Li Daoqing and his team were very excited.

The only place with such active and readily available experts to consult is the Holy Land of Yao Guang.

"Oh, by the way, will other sects be invited to attend the Holy Lord's enthronement ceremony?" Qin Sheng asked again.

"In principle, we don't invite them," Li Daoqing said, observing the situation.
"However, your ascension to the throne this time is an unprecedented event for the Yao Guang Holy Land, and I think we should invite you."

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Then you can decide what to do."

Li Daoqing understood that the Holy Son had agreed; in principle, no invitation was not allowed, but the Holy Son was the principle.

“Then the ceremony may have to be postponed a bit, and we need to make more thorough preparations,” Li Daoqing added.

"No problem."

How foolish! If you don't invite them to the banquet, how are you going to receive gifts?

Given Qin Sheng's prestige, any holy land or independent individual who comes to attend the Holy Lord's Ceremony and presents gifts will undoubtedly receive the most valuable ones.

Qin Sheng was watching.

When the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan celebrated his 1500th birthday, everyone showered him with gifts. Now that Dong Xian is in charge of the Yao Guang Holy Land, aren't you going to give something in return? Do you have a problem with Dong Xian?
As for gift-giving, it's a give-and-take affair; if you receive something today, you have to give something back tomorrow.

The Yao Guang Holy Land held the public ceremony because its own Holy Son, as a king, took charge of the Holy Land. If your Holy Son, when he becomes a powerful figure in the future, dares to compare himself to Dong Xian, then send an invitation.

"I have given rewards to the disciples and elders below Sendai, but I treat all the disciples of the Holy Land equally and will not treat you unfairly."

Qin Sheng waved his hand generously and took out several ancient scriptures from the Sacred Path Domain, encompassing the three realms of the Sacred Path.

"The Supreme Elders can choose any one Saint's Secret Technique, the Great Powers can choose the Saint King's Secret Technique, and the Seniors can choose the Great Saint's Secret Technique."

Those whom Qin Sheng calls seniors are, of course, living fossils.

"In addition, I will also leave a copy of these scriptures in the Yao Guang Holy Land. In the future, according to the rules of the Holy Land, you can study them on your own."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

You should know that in many holy lands, a single sacred technique is the most important thing to preserve the religion. Being able to learn something at this level is already an incredible stroke of luck.

Previously, Qin Sheng only gave rewards to his disciples, and they thought that the Holy Son had forgotten about them. Now they see that the Holy Son cares about them!
Supporting Qin Sheng is perfectly justified!

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to my cave." Qin Sheng stood up and led Xiao Nannan and the others out.

“The Holy Maiden, come with me.”

Yao Xi perked up, put away the jade slip, and quickly followed in their footsteps.

After Qin Sheng left, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Daoqing smiled and said:

"It seems that under the leadership of the Holy Son, our Yao Guang Holy Land will definitely have a different look in the future."

A new broom sweeps clean, and every leader makes a bold move upon taking office. The only difference lies in the scale of the changes, whether they gain support, and whether their goals can be achieved.

If I don't become the Holy Lord, I can't change the Holy Land. If I become the Holy Lord and still do nothing, then I've been the Holy Lord for nothing.
It is foreseeable that, given Qin Sheng's cultivation level and prestige, he will succeed in whatever he wants to do.

Does anyone object to things like rectifying the conduct of holy sites? Of course, some do.

But do they dare to openly and unequivocally say no? No.

Unless they want to see the gates of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Everyone, keep an eye on your juniors. Once the Holy Son gets serious, you all know that no one can stop him," Li Daoqing warned.

He's fine; the Lord of the Holy Land doesn't need to resort to petty theft.

After saying that, Li Daoqing walked out of the Yaoguang Temple, looked at the sun in the sky, sensed the lingering noise in the mountain gate, and finally looked at the backs of Qin Sheng and the others, feeling completely relaxed.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the way I had to go, I have kept the faith I was to keep.

From this day forward, the crown of righteousness will be reserved for you.

Li Daoqing felt that he had really done his best. How could he possibly be the one the Holy Lord asked him to be?

What will become of the Yao Guang Holy Land in the future? Only heaven knows.

(P.S.: I'm doing a Lantern Festival gala today, so I'm not sure if I'll have time to write anything later. I'm posting this as a two-part post.)
