Chapter 1240 Successor
"call……"
Su Shuangling slowly withdrew his hands, his hovering figure still upright, but the majestic divine light around him had obviously dimmed a lot, and the deep fatigue could not be concealed between his brows.
She lightly tapped the air with her bare feet, and like a snowflake, she floated back to the front of the Eternal Silence Palace.
The shaking of the Frozen Throne stopped, and the cracked earth quickly froze and healed under the spread of cold air, as if the devastating collision just now was just an illusion.
Only the sickening bloody smell of the Demon Abyss lingering in the air and the pale and solemn expressions of the people in front of the Palace of Eternal Silence proved what had just happened.
The ice crack in front of Qinghan Palace, which had been constantly oozing black air, finally calmed down completely after the Demon Abyss was suppressed by the re-strengthened seal.
A thin layer of ice crystals with a faint blue sheen condensed at the edge of the crack, temporarily blocking the penetration of demonic energy.
Su Shuangling's gaze swept across the temporarily sealed ice crack, then passed Luo Li and Di Xuanming, and finally fell on the seal at the entrance to the Demon Abyss that was glowing with a faint blue divine light.
Her voice was slightly hoarse from the overdrawn divine power, but still clear:
"The seal has been recast. For at least two years, the demons in the Demon Abyss will not be able to break the seal on a large scale."
This is the best she can do now.
She paused, and the depths of her icy blue eyes reflected the bottomless darkness beneath the dark blue seal.
"But the cracks through which the demonic seed has infiltrated remain, and the fetal movements of the newly born demon god haven't ceased. It's merely been temporarily suppressed, dormant in the abyss, gathering strength for the next, even more violent attack."
"We have less time than we expected."
A deep silence fell before the Palace of Eternal Silence. After a brief respite, a heavier, more pressing shadow descended.
The momentary peace that the Ice God bought with his divine power was nothing more than the oppressive silence before the storm.
Luo Li took a deep breath, her eyes solemn, but not afraid.
The real competition has just begun.
Demon species, demon god...
Human race, Warcraft.
The final battle will eventually begin, which will determine which race will ultimately stand on this continent.
Luo Li opened her mouth, but she talked about something else: "Ice God, your inheritance is still in my hands."
"Oh?" Su Shuangling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I naturally have no use for something like inheritance. Since you've been lucky enough to obtain it, I'll leave it to you. If you can meet a spiritual master suitable for the Ice God's inheritance, it will be a great help to us."
Luo Li didn't say anything more, just nodded, "Okay."
Su Shuangling sighed softly, "Some of my old friends' inheritance fragments should be in the Chaos Jade, right?"
Luo Li nodded and said, "Indeed, there are indeed many divine inheritances left by ancient gods in the Chaos Jade."
Su Shuangling narrowed her eyes. "Whether they are scattered across the continent or sleeping in the Chaos Jade, they will all find their new masters before the final moment arrives."
A gleam of light flashed across Luo Li's eyes, "Is this also the law of heaven?"
Su Shuangling said in a contemptuous voice, "Yes, the laws of heaven cannot be violated."
Luo Li frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
She only said, "Are the Su family and the Alliance of Gods now in a cooperative relationship?"
She still needs to confirm it.
When Su Shuangling heard the name "Alliance of Gods", he was slightly stunned. It was a name he hadn't heard of for a long time.
Then he reacted, smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Luo Li nodded, "Okay, time is running out. There is only less than a year left before the Demon God Temple and the Nine Heavens are sealed. They will definitely take action by then. I also need to return to Buli City to prepare early."
As Luo Li finished speaking, the icy mist in front of the palace seemed to freeze for a moment.
There was less than a year left of peaceful days.
This deadline is like an invisible hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
The brief peace of the Frozen Throne was ultimately just the last gasp before the war.
A faint ripple crossed the depths of Su Shuangling's icy blue eyes. She nodded slightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "Go. I'll be in charge of the Frozen Throne, and the seal of the Demon Abyss will be safe for now. But we still need to be vigilant about the cracks that demons have infiltrated. I will personally sort out the essence of the throne and do my best to seal it."
"Don't worry, Ice God." Luo Li responded solemnly.
"By the way," Luo Li said again, "the Alliance Academy that doesn't leave the city."
Su Shuangling smiled and asked, "Is there any medicine you made in there?"
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
"However," she smiled slyly, "you need to complete tasks to earn points before you can redeem them."
Su Shuangling understood what he said. She chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I will ask Qingyue to select disciples with sufficient talent and send them to Buli City."
Luo Li and Di Xuanming no longer hesitated. They turned around and transformed into two streams of light, one golden and one dark. They tore through the cold air of the Frozen Throne and rushed towards the distant Buli City.
The cold wind blew up their sleeves, leaving behind the eternal chill.
The ice field rapidly retreated under their feet, and the ice-blue dome of the Palace of Eternal Silence soon disappeared at the end of their sight.
High in the air, Luo Li could clearly feel the tense atmosphere of the people around her.
Emperor Xuanming remained silent, his heterochromatic eyes staring straight ahead.
"Thinking about Mo Yuan?" Luo Li's voice came through the whistling wind, with a hint of concern.
Emperor Xuanming hummed, his voice low, "The Ice God's efforts to recast the seal took considerable toll. Although the crack in the ice has been temporarily sealed, the path for the demonic infiltration has been revealed. The origin of the Frozen Throne..."
He paused, a heavy look between his brows. "It's being consumed faster than we expected. The new demon god's fetal movements are rapidly eroding the last foundation of this remaining divine domain."
Luo Li looked at the gray horizon in the distance, and the outline of the Frozen Throne city was looming in the wind and snow.
She took a deep breath of cold air, and the power of chaos flowed through her body.
Her voice was firm, "We must return to the city, gather our strength, and awaken the ancient god's legacy dormant within the Chaos Jade. A year, no, perhaps only a few months. We must be fully prepared for the final battle!"
The two streams of light suddenly accelerated, tearing through the sky, like two retrograde meteors, and headed towards the front that was about to be ignited by the flames of war without hesitation.
The cold moon of the Frozen Throne sank behind them, while the sky ahead was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was about to come.
When Luo Li and Di Xuanming passed through the city defense formation and landed on the tower top platform of the Alliance Academy, the elders of the academy who had been waiting there immediately came forward to greet them.
"City Lord, what's the situation?" Elder Li saw the seriousness in the two men's expressions and asked in a deep voice.
Luo Li spoke concisely and quickly recounted what she had seen and heard at the Frozen Throne.
"...Time is more pressing than expected," Di Xuanming added, his heterochromatic eyes sweeping over the people present. "The new demon god's will has begun to infiltrate, and the Frozen Throne's essence is being depleted. The Demon Abyss Seal may not last for the next two years."
We must expedite our actions and find a countermeasure before the seals on the Demon God Temple and the Nine Heavens are completely loosened, and awaken as many ancient gods as possible."
Luo Li sighed. Although she said so, she now had quite a few divine inheritances in her hands. However, only Xie Shiyuan, Luo Qingzhu and Luo Qingge resonated with the inheritance.
Logically speaking, Wen Xingyan, Feng Wuhen, Lan Xiaoxiao's talents are higher than Luo Qingzhu and Luo Qingge, so how come they don't get the recognition of the divine inheritance?
However, godhood is not just about talent, and the search for the heirs of the ancient gods cannot be rushed.
Luo Li told the elders that the Su family might send disciples to study at the Alliance Academy, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Di Xuanming.
The City Lord's Mansion was still somewhat deserted.
Uncle and his companions were traveling back and forth between various cities nearby and rarely came back to live. Bei Mingyu and his companions were constantly gaining experience outside, and only reported their safety to Luo Li from time to time. Even when they came back, they lived in the Alliance Academy.
Master and Xiaoxiao are in seclusion and have not come out for a long time.
Xiaoliu and Momo are also in seclusion to reach maturity.
It was late at night, and the glass lamps in the City Lord's Mansion emitted a warm yellow glow, but they could not illuminate the solemnity that filled the air.
Luo Li sat by the window, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the Chaos Jade on her wrist.
Now, several ancient gods' inheritances are sleeping in the jade, but it is unusually quiet.
"Are you thinking about the successor?" Di Xuanming brought a cup of hot tea and placed it next to her hand. The warm steam misted his different-colored pupils.
Luo Li raised her eyes and took the teacup. Warmth flowed from her fingertips to her heart. "Wen Xingyan's sword heart is pure, and Feng Wuhen's blood carries the power of the Great Desolate Fire Phoenix... They should have a compatible inheritance, but the Chaos Jade has not moved."
"The choice of a godhead's master is a matter of timing and fate." Di Xuanming sat down beside her, his fingertips brushing her temples. "Just like Su Shuangling said, heaven has its own arrangements. Perhaps it's not that they are unworthy, but that the time has not yet come for them to awaken."
Luo Li nodded slightly, but she couldn't help but feel worried. With less than a year left, every companion who awakened their inheritance improved their chances of victory against the demon god.
She looked out the window. The moonlight filtered through the clouds, casting mottled shadows on the bluestone ground in the courtyard, which looked like a sky torn apart by demonic energy.
"Bei Mingyu and the others reported that the concentration of demonic energy in the Western Territory is starting to rise," she whispered. "Crazy individuals infected by demonic energy have appeared among the demonic beasts. I'm afraid the seals on the Nine Heavens and the Demon God Temple are starting to loosen."
Di Xuanming embraced her, "We are all here, and the Demon God has not yet resurrected. The seal of that senior is still there. We still have time."
Di Xuanming's low voice carried a strange soothing power. Luo Li leaned on his strong arms, and her chaotic thoughts settled down a little.
Yes, they still have time, each other, and the entire alliance is still in action.
However, just when her mind relaxed a little.
Buzz!
The Chaos Jade held in her palm suddenly burst out with unprecedented brilliance without any warning.
That light wasn't a single color, but several completely different colors: crimson, ice blue, emerald green, dark gold, bright yellow...
Countless lights representing different original divine powers intertwined and swirled wildly, almost breaking through the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, illuminating the entire room like daylight.
