After saying that, Fengling couldn't help but look up. Above him was the ceiling, but his gaze was fixed on something further away.
He sneered, thinking:
You should be able to see it, right?
From God's perspective...
From the moment she first encountered divine power, when she entered the passage to the divine realm in the Tatar demon realm, Fengling already had a premonition.
At the end of that passage, there was a calling; he would one day meet the so-called deity.
Clearly, he was the one whom the gods wanted to toy with to death.
However, he was not afraid.
Upon hearing this, the people in the room immediately asked the wind chimes:
"Do you have any good ideas? I heard that in the battle of Snow Relic City, you broke the star array containing divine power of the Blessing Spirit? Does this mean that there is a way to break through divine power?"
"That was just because the divine power was weak. But I still want to ask Bai Qiling, where did that energy in the Bridge of Broken Souls go? It shouldn't have been used up, right?"
He looked at Bai Qiling and said coldly:
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have made some kind of deal with Sakura Snow Fox, right?"
"Sakura Snow Fox used that power to defeat my father, destroy the Feng family, and also took that energy with her."
"Without evidence, don't make baseless accusations based on your own guesses."
Bai Qiling said coldly that no matter what others asked, he would say that he did not cooperate with Ying Xuehu back then, and that Ying Xuehu's betrayal at the crucial moment was her own decision.
However, he admitted that the energy of the Broken Soul Bridge was indeed taken away by Sakura Snow Fox, but Sakura Snow Fox took advantage of the situation to steal it.
All of this is, of course, impossible to verify; in other words, verification would be meaningless.
The result was that twenty years ago, what truly defeated the Feng family wasn't the realm of spirit masters, but the gods...
Fengling had once heard Tianya say that the one who truly controlled this world was not the demon race, nor the spirit masters, but an even more terrifying being, which was probably discovered after that battle.
As the meeting progressed, everyone's brows were furrowed.
There was a spirit master who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, looking at Yan Dingyun and Feng Ling. Yan Dingyun noticed this and told him to say what he wanted to say.
The man glanced at the wind chimes, pursed his lips, and mustered his courage to say:
"What if... I mean, what if the Feng family surrenders? Would the gods then refrain from intervening? Would it turn into a battle between the Spirit Masters and the Mist-Faced Monk... wouldn't our chances of winning be even higher?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present frowned; what he said seemed to make some sense...
Some people agree in their hearts, but others say frankly:
"Dream on! How many demons are there outside the borders? Haven't we realized how many there are after these two years of war? Without the Feng family, the Northern Border would have fallen long ago."
Feng Ling also gave a cold laugh and looked at that person.
"What, you think the Feng family will surrender?"
The man quickly shook his head and explained:
"Just guessing, I'm just guessing..."
At this moment, Ruo Tinghan, who was standing nearby, said in a deep voice:
"Without the Feng family, it would be impossible to defeat the Mist-Faced Monk. Even without a god, the probability of winning is very low. The Mist-Faced Monk may have already reached the realm of demons and monsters."
"A realm of demons and monsters..."
Wind Chime took a deep breath, shook her head, and said:
"He probably hasn't reached that level yet, but... it's very possible he'll reach it before the final battle, if the gods are willing to help him..."
"If it truly is a realm of demons and monsters, then no one in this world can defeat him."
This statement was immediately refuted by others:
"How could that be? Demons and monsters have appeared throughout history, and they were all killed by the combined efforts of the spiritual masters of that time."
The wind chime shook its head:
“Those weren’t real demons and monsters. I’ve seen the real demons and monsters inside the Demon-Suppressing Stele…”
Everyone: ? ? ?
How did you manage to come out alive?
"Have you seen them? Where are those demons and monsters? Can they fight for us?"
Fengling recounted her experiences inside the Demon-Suppressing Stele, mainly focusing on the true concept of demons and monsters.
The concept of demons and monsters as perceived by this world has always been a false one.
After Fengling finished explaining the true power of the demons and monsters, everyone fell silent once again.
The so-called demons and monsters are monsters that have truly comprehended and understood all the rules of the world.
That level of skill no longer requires demonic techniques or demonic energy; one can fight using the laws of this world. It's simply not on the same level.
Through the story told by the wind chimes, people have gained a better understanding of the so-called gods... Gods are beings who truly control and can rewrite the rules.
Instantly, all hope was destroyed and shattered by the wind chimes' words.
There's no way we can win!
"Of course, the veiled monk may not necessarily reach the realm of demons and monsters; it all depends on the will of that so-called deity."
"However, we still need to prepare for the worst..."
As Feng Ling spoke, everyone present looked dejected, but his tone was very relaxed, as if he didn't care at all and was sure he would win.
After he finished speaking, the hundreds of people in the conference room fell silent, unable to sense even a hint of fighting spirit.
At this moment, Ruo Tinghan, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke:
"After hearing what Fengling said just now... I thought of something, and now I feel that we have a better chance of winning."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked up at Ruo Tinghan, even Ruo Qingyan showed a surprised expression as she looked at Ruo Tinghan.
At this moment, the wind chime couldn't help but say:
"Please don't tell us we'll find out later, otherwise even if you're my father-in-law, I definitely won't be able to resist scolding you..."
Lei Jing, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:
"I'll definitely curse you too... you old bastard..."
The two made a joke, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became less tense.
If you listen to Han slowly say:
"Although we mortals cannot see the rules of the world, we can see the basic laws of the world. Cultivation is also a product based on all the basic laws."
Everyone agreed with what he said and nodded repeatedly. Then Ruoting Han asked in return:
"Do you all think it's possible for a spirit master and a demon to have a child?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this and turned to look at Feng Ling. How could it be impossible? Feng Ling was standing right in front of them.
Feng Ling frowned slightly, as if she had also thought of something, and Lei Jing, who was beside her, suddenly realized as well:
"It's impossible... From a fundamental theoretical perspective, whether it's biology, psionics, demonic energy, or energy science, it's simply impossible!"
"What's going on with the wind chimes?"
Someone asked in confusion, and Fengling laughed heartily:
"Because I am the newly born rule!"
"A rule that even gods cannot control or change!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone fell silent again, staring wide-eyed at the wind chime in disbelief.
Many people can't even understand this sentence at first glance!
