Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1116 - 145: Worrisome Future_2

"What is so exceptional about him that you are so infatuated with him? Do you know why I had to relinquish the ancestral land slot this time, even ignoring the opposition from others, allowing demons from all realms to enter?" the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty said gravely.

"I am well aware, it's all for my daughter," replied Princess Xidie, her voice still very calm, no doubt she had anticipated this situation before she came.

It is known, facing such a formidable and authoritative ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, only the Tenth Princess dares to act this way. No other prince could.

For, this ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty does not indulge others; he only indulges Princess Xidie alone.

"Then why are you still opposing me like this?!"

"Because the daughter firmly believes that Gu Bai surpasses all others," she said.

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty immediately laughed and retorted, "Do you think he is stronger than those renowned in hundreds of realms, who possess divine powers and have stepped into Huanxu Realm?"

"Of course," said Princess Xidie without hesitation.

However, the gaze of the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty grew colder and his expression more solemn as he said, "But I will not give him that opportunity. When the ancestral land opens and the demons enter, even the most foolish person's strength will double after coming out successfully. Not to mention those geniuses, then I will see if the man you favor is still as exceptional!"

"Father Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Xidie suddenly raised her head, her beautiful face solemn as her lively eyes met the ruler's with determination and no intention of backing down.

One must know, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty is a mighty sovereign, ruling over countless miles of rivers and mountains, carrying an immense authority. Even though he often tries hard to restrain his domineering aura, there are still very few who dare to meet his gaze.

His own beloved daughter, standing up against him for the first time over a man to this extent, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty snorted coldly, "What can you do to me?"

"Gu Bai saved my life, just now Father Emperor said, whatever he wants, you would gladly give. Since that is the case, please give him the slot for the ancestral land. Your word as the emperor should mean something, surely you would not go back on your word?" Princess Xidie looked gravely at her father.

Upon hearing this, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty frowned and said, "I will give him the slot, but you must make it clear to him that being friends is fine, being lovers is absolutely not!"

"That will be my own affair, no matter what, the decision I make now, I will not regret it in the future."

Princess Xidie said, "Father Emperor, I ask to be excused."

Saying this, she quietly stood up and then left the place.

The ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty watched his beloved daughter leave with a profound gaze, remaining silent.

"Xidie..." he said softly.

From childhood to maturity, this was the first time Princess Xidie had ever argued with him, and it was for a man.

Truth be told, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty felt somewhat jealous.

"Ha, it really is true that she has grown up and hardened her wings." In the end, recalling how Princess Xidie had just met his gaze unflinchingly, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty actually laughed, appreciating his beloved daughter.

"Your Majesty, after a few more years, when the princess is older, she will surely understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

At that moment, the Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty approached under the sleeping quarters, paid a grand salute to the ruler and spoke thus.

"Stand and speak," said the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

"Yes," Yan Ming stood up.

"Yan Ming, when I chose a suitor for Xidie, did you really think it was for the Holy Brilliance Dynasty?"

"Of course not."

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "I know that everything you do is actually for Princess Xidie, hoping she can find a worthy match, or rather, a top mischief-maker. This way, in the future, she can also have something to rely on."

"You indeed know my heart," sighed the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, turning to stand by the window, overlooking the vast mountains and rivers of Saint Hua City and the entire spiritual realm.

"The future is a blur, or one might say, dark and filled with unparalleled dangers. Everyone must fight to cross over, even I am no exception."

The ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty revealed a most astonishing piece of news, causing Yan Ming to shudder, his face showing disbelief.

He knew this was a situation predicted by the most powerful beings, which was very difficult for those below the most powerful to know!

"The future is worrisome, dark, a lonely eternal silence. No one is sure they can survive, not even to fend for themselves alone, not even the most powerful!"

The ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty spoke in a low voice, staring at the heavens and earth, saying, "Or rather, not only the most powerful, but also the so-called immortal-level doctrines, the top ten races, everything, and even the entire upper realms, all 3,600 domains, might possibly be destroyed then!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, even Yan Ming, who was comparable to a major figure in the upper realms, and even surpassing some in cultivation, could not help but be greatly shocked, a hint of panic emerging in his heart.

If someone as commanding and unmatched as the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty felt this way, what terrifying situation would the future of the upper realms face?

At this thought, Yan Ming's heart also began to tremble slightly.

"Ruler... the future of the upper realms..." Yan Ming could not help but ask.

"I do not know." The ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty shook his head, his tone somewhat powerless, saying, "You must understand, even in the last major era, many of the most high gods, under the leadership of the Ice Emperor, set out on a campaign and ultimately failed. How much more so our era?"

Yan Ming quickly said, "But our era is so brilliant, and in recent decades, an endless number of top mischief-makers have been emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain. Once they grow up, the upper realms will be incredibly glorious and prosperous, how could it follow in the footsteps of the last major era?"

The ruler, upon hearing this, sighed deeply, saying, "The most high gods, that kind of existence, do you think they are so easily achieved? Do you know, there's a problem with the environment of the upper realms, if it cannot be repaired, no matter how many mischief-makers there are, even if someone on par with the Ice Emperor emerges, it's still difficult to reach the level of the most high gods!"

"Why is that, is there a defect in the environment of the upper realms?!" Yan Ming changed color, unable to help but exclaim.

If even a figure like a major ruler felt this way, you can imagine how shocking this matter was.

The ruler murmured, saying, "Some things, only the most powerful know. The current situation in the upper realms is like a house of loose sand, with the Holy Gate and Forbidden Zone of Life causing chaos. It seems powerful, and even bound to be extremely prosperous in the future, but in reality, it has long been fraught with crisis."

"Even, there may not be a chance, before those mischief-makers rise, a great turmoil might occur, and then..."

Yan Ming, alarmed, eagerly asked, "Ruler, is there really no solution to all this?"

Upon hearing this, at this moment, the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, with a profound gaze, turned away from Yan Ming and said softly, "We are all waiting..."

"Waiting for what?" Yan Ming hurriedly asked further.

"Waiting for the arrival of a person..."
