“Lord Qinglian, I…” Shi Nantian said with a face full of shame.
If he and Qinglian Shenjun knew Lin Yun's past life identity, perhaps they would rather die than ask Lin Yun for help.
He had been clinging to a sliver of hope... but in reality, he knew very well that this time, if things went wrong, they might all perish here, never to be redeemed!
In that case, their innate divine race, which originally had a glimmer of hope for revival, would be completely wiped out!
The Azure Lotus God sighed, shook his head slightly, and finally looked up at the battlefield once more.
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, we must act quickly!" At this moment, Shi Nantian also looked at the battlefield and hurriedly said again.
Because they are facing a great crisis, they must act quickly. They should not give up even if there is only a sliver of hope.
"Should we make a move? Yes... it's time to make a move..." the Azure Lotus God said softly, as if murmuring.
call!
The next moment, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Surprisingly, his current performance was even slightly better than when he was fleeing with Shi Nantian.
"boom!"
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord flashed to the front of an array and struck it with his palm. Instantly, the entire array collapsed, revealing Lin Yun, the group of ghost cultivators, and the twelve zodiac beasts trapped within the array.
However, there was more than one array formation; the other array formations were still in operation and being used by Lin Yun and the group of ghost cultivators to deal with the twelve zodiac beasts.
However, the actions of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord at this moment seem suspicious of acting on behalf of the twelve zodiac beasts...
This drew the attention of Lin Yun, the group of ghost cultivators, and the twelve zodiac beasts.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord made a series of attacks, smashing one formation after another. The Azure Lotus Divine Lord's strength was not stronger than the combined strength of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts, but this formation was mainly designed to attack enemies inside, making it much easier to break from the outside.
In an instant, three more formations were destroyed by the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, greatly weakening the power of Lin Yun and his group, and also significantly reducing the pressure on the twelve zodiac beasts.
"What's going on?" The twelve zodiac animals were slightly surprised when they saw this.
Now, even a fool would see that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was helping them. But why was the Azure Lotus Divine Lord helping them? Just moments ago, they were chasing after him! Weren't these Divine Realm ghost cultivators helping the Azure Lotus Divine Lord?
Are the Azure Lotus Divine Lord and these Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators enemies?
That's not right either! When Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian fled this way, these formations only attacked them, not Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian, even though they were on the same side as Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian!
Could it be that the Azure Lotus God has lost his mind and gone mad?
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, why are you attacking these formations? They belong to Senior Lin and Haotian Divine King's side..." In the distance, Shi Nantian watched this scene with a shocked expression. He never expected this scene. He vaguely guessed something, but it was as if he had guessed nothing at all.
"Azure Lotus God?" Within the formation, the Heavenly God King also looked grim.
He never expected that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord would actually attack these formations. By attacking these formations, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was practically attacking them!
Could it be that all of this is a trap, and that this Azure Lotus Divine Lord is already a member of the Later Heaven Divine Dynasty?
What kind of person is Qinglian Divine Lord? He was a transcendent being in the Primordial Divine Clan Dynasty and was a very good friend of His Majesty the Divine Emperor. How could he possibly join the Acquired Divine Clan Dynasty?
Furthermore, did Qinglian Divine Lord join the Later God Dynasty before the great war between the Primordial Gods and the Later Gods, or did he join after the war? What role did Qinglian Divine Lord play during the great war?
It is said that the remaining innate gods who are still resisting are basically led by the Azure Lotus God. If the Azure Lotus God has already submitted to the acquired god dynasty, then what is the attitude of the other innate gods?
"Why?"
Within the formation, Lin Yun ceased his attack. He turned to look at the Azure Lotus Divine Lord and said calmly.
"You are... His Highness the Crown Prince, right?" Qinglian Divine Lord looked deeply at Lin Yun and said slowly.
Ultimately, he recognized Lin Yun's former identity from some details about Lin Yun.
"As expected of the person my father values so highly, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord truly has keen insight. No wonder my father once said that if anything were to happen, everyone else might be problematic, but the Azure Lotus Divine Lord is the most trustworthy!" Lin Yun said with a slight sneer.
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord's expression changed slightly, and his body trembled slightly.
But he quickly regained his footing and his expression returned to calm. Looking at Lin Yun, he said seriously, "However, His Highness the Crown Prince did not come to find me immediately after his successful reincarnation. This means that His Highness does not completely trust me, or perhaps His Majesty never said those words, is that right?"
“Back then, I was in seclusion cultivating. The war between the two races broke out too suddenly, and the Primordial God Race was defeated too quickly. I didn’t know all the details, and I didn’t dare to completely believe everything my father said. After all, if all his judgments were accurate, our Primordial God Race wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly, right?” Lin Yun said calmly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince truly lives up to his name. Only Your Highness could speak so frankly. Based on this alone, no other prince can compare!" Qinglian Divine Lord looked at Lin Yun, sighed after a moment, and said.
"I don't know about anything else, and I don't want to say more. Now, I just want to ask you one question: when our Primordial God Clan was defeated, was it your doing?" Lin Yun shook his head slightly, and finally looked coldly at the Azure Lotus God Lord, and said.
A building often collapses fastest when it starts to break down from the inside.
The acquired gods of that time were far inferior to those of today. Although they were not weak, they were no match for the innate gods of that time. Moreover, the core of the innate gods' dynasty had been passed down for a long time and possessed great power, which was beyond what the acquired gods of that time could handle.
However, the Primordial God Clan was still defeated, and defeated very quickly, which made Lin Yun suspect whether there was an inside agent of the opposing side within their Primordial God Clan, or a Primordial God Clan expert of extremely high level and great power.
The Azure Lotus God perfectly fits this requirement.
However, Lin Yun was unwilling to believe it unless there was irrefutable evidence.
After all, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was the person his father had told him he could trust the most.
Moreover, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord is one of the few remaining leaders still resisting the Primordial Gods, and one of only two or three peak Divine Realm experts left.
If the Azure Lotus Divine Lord is a member of the Acquired Divine Clan Dynasty, why would he do this? He could simply bring the remaining Innate Divine Clan under the Acquired Divine Clan Dynasty, thus unifying the Divine Realm Dynasty. Wouldn't that be better?
Therefore, Lin Yun did not have much doubt about the Azure Lotus Divine Lord.
This time, when the Azure Lotus Divine Lord encountered danger, he considered it for a moment and still came.
However, after his rebirth, when he first came into contact with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, he still had some precautions due to the many doubts surrounding his past life.
Seeing that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord had attacked them, Lin Yun actually breathed a sigh of relief.
The most terrifying enemy is not the one in the open, but the one that is hidden.
The revelation of Qinglian Shenjun's identity actually brought him much clarity and made him more aware of an enemy.
If the Azure Lotus God was indeed the one who influenced the great war between the Primordial God Clan and the Acquired God Clan, then he truly was the Primordial God Clan's greatest enemy.
The most hateful people are often not the enemies on the surface, but those who betray from within.
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord shook his head and said, "We all underestimated the leader of the Acquired God Clan, who is now the God Emperor of the Acquired God Clan Dynasty. His talent and potential far exceed his apparent eight-patterned divine spark. Back then, during the great war between the Innate God Clan and the Acquired God Clan, he trapped me in a deadly place. When I came out, the Innate God Clan had already suffered a great defeat, and His Majesty and many powerful figures of the Innate God Clan had perished..."
"If I had participated in the war back then, His Majesty and many powerful members of the Primordial God Clan might not have perished. At that time, the Primordial God Clan might have been a different story. Unfortunately... So, although the Primordial God Clan was not my doing, they were defeated so miserably because of me. It's not wrong to say that..." After a pause, the Azure Lotus God Lord slowly said.
"So, after the great war, you defected to the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty?" Lin Yun said with a cold smile.
He did not completely believe Qinglian Shenjun's words, and even according to Qinglian Shenjun's words, his current behavior was still extremely disgraceful to him.
In his previous life, he was the crown prince of the Primordial God Clan Dynasty.
Qinglian Divine Lord is a powerful figure under the Innate Divine Clan Dynasty, and a close friend whom his father absolutely trusted. He is also considered Qinglian's junior, one of the current hopes of the Innate Divine Clan, and possibly the last remaining bloodline of the Innate Divine Clan royal family.
But the other party set a trap for him, a trap that was once their common enemy.
Okay, the other party probably didn't know his identity before!
So, what about now?
Now, however, the other party is working for the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty to deal with him!
Haha, he came to save the other party, but the other party plotted against him instead?
These are the high-ranking powerhouses of their Primordial God Clan Dynasty? This is the best friend his father absolutely trusted? This is his elder? This is one of the remaining Primordial God Clan leaders still resisting?
What a mockery! How ridiculous!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... He's actually His Highness the Crown Prince..." Shi Nantian exclaimed excitedly from afar.
The next moment, he flashed to the vicinity of the Azure Lotus God, looked at the Azure Lotus God, and said with a sorrowful expression, "Why? Azure Lotus God, could it be that you have truly sided with the Acquired God Clan? Why did you attack His Highness the Crown Prince? Why! Our Innate God Clan has suffered countless casualties at the hands of the Acquired God Clan, have you forgotten all of this?"
Lin Yun watched this scene coldly.
Even Qinglian Shenjun is not trustworthy. He has already betrayed the Innate God Clan Dynasty. Can Shi Nantian, who tricked him into coming to his aid with Qinglian Shenjun, be trusted as well?
Although Shi Nantian's expressions, actions, and aura were all portrayed so realistically, these things are not entirely impossible to fake!
Otherwise, how could the Azure Lotus God have deceived so many people?
Take the twelve zodiac beasts they just dealt with, for example. Judging from their reaction, they probably didn't expect that the Azure Lotus God Lord had already pledged allegiance to the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty!
Perhaps it's nine parts truth and one part falsehood, but often that one part falsehood is the most fatal!
“That’s right, Nantian, I have already pledged allegiance to the Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty. It is because I have witnessed countless members of the Innate God Clan being slaughtered by the Post-Heaven God Clan that I do not want to see the remaining members of the Innate God Clan also being slaughtered by the Post-Heaven God Clan! The Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty has already established its dominance, and we cannot resist it. All resistance is meaningless!” Qinglian Divine Lord looked at Shi Nantian and said very calmly.
"I hope that you can also follow me to submit to the new divine dynasty, thus sparing the remaining innate gods from the suffering of slaughter and daily fear!" After a pause, the Azure Lotus God Lord said.
"No, no, so many of our Primordial God Clan members were killed by the people of the Acquired God Clan Dynasty. So many members of the Stone Tribe and the Stone Clan. How can I ignore them? How can I abandon my hatred and join the Acquired God Clan Dynasty?" Shi Nantian took several steps back and shook his head repeatedly.
"The fusion of the innate gods and the acquired gods is an inevitable trend. However, when they merge, blood is rarely spared. I was born in chaos and have witnessed countless divisions and reunions, and the rise and fall of countless forces. Take the time when I helped His Majesty establish the innate god dynasty, for example. How could I not have experienced a bit of bloodshed?"
The number of innocent souls who have fallen at our hands is not small! Now, history is simply repeating itself!
Now that the acquired gods have gained momentum and are unstoppable, do the innate gods really want to continue resisting? Do you really want the innate gods to be wiped out?
History has proven that those who resisted all perished!
I just don't want our innate divine race to one day become history!
"You are a leader of a tribe, and once a general of the Stone Clan, fighting for the Stone Clan and the Primordial God Dynasty. Don't you know what will become of our Primordial God Clan if things continue like this?"
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord stared at Shi Nantian and spoke, each word penetrating the hearts of everyone present.
It seemed as if he was speaking to Shi Nantian, and at the same time, it seemed as if he was explaining to Lin Yun.
Disobey, and all primordial gods will be exterminated!
So, what should he choose?
"This is not a reason for our Primordial God Clan to surrender to the Acquired God Clan. No, absolutely not. Our Primordial God Clan Dynasty treated the Acquired God Clan well, yet they were so rebellious. Some things cannot be compromised; we can only persist... Some things, even at the cost of our lives, must be persisted in!"
Even though I have killed some of these divine beings, I still respect them!
However, Lord Qinglian, your behavior is utterly despicable!
Even if you live, what then?
Is living the only meaning for us, the remaining innate gods?
Shi Nantian stepped back again and shook his head.
"Is that so? I have existed since the Chaos Era, right up until now. Back then, when His Majesty and I established the Primordial God Clan Dynasty, countless gods perished, and many others rose to power. The 108 tribes? The Stone Clan? Back then, they were just one of the compromises! Tell me, if there hadn't been that compromise, would your Stone Clan still exist today? Can you still speak to me now?" The Azure Lotus God looked at Shi Nantian and said slowly.
