Chapter 474: Chapter 374: Worry-free for Ten Lifetimes_1

Zheng Yichen’s physical condition had naturally improved, as the blood of the Supreme Demon contained immense power, and its consumption had been replenished during the process of drawing out the Supreme Demon’s blood. However, the influence of the demonic thoughts would not subside immediately.

The black spear could also extract the soul of the Supreme Demon, but the proportion extracted was not particularly high, resulting in the true death of the Supreme Demon’s soul being caused by the Power of Death converted by the black spear. If there was a way to forcefully control the Supreme Demon’s soul for an extended period, then it might be possible to attempt a full extraction.

"Boss, you should try to avoid new battles as much as possible. Once a new battle starts, your emotions could completely spiral out of control," Lilith warned. Her database contained a vast amount of information, including data for analyzing subtle facial expressions.

At this time, Zheng Yichen appeared calm, but by analyzing the subtle changes in his body and facial expressions, Lilith could tell that his calmness was only superficial. If there was a certain degree of external stimulation, then the beast would be completely unleashed.

"Of course, I am very aware of my current state," Zheng Yichen said as a white glow emerged from the palm of his hand. Although the Light type power in the Three Suns World had a simple attribute, its functions were quite versatile, covering attack, defense, and healing.

However, unlike Black Light, it did not amplify positive emotions. Zheng Yichen had tried it and then dispersed the glow from his hand. Looking at the curse marks on his body, he didn’t even consider using Burst Mode. Although Burst Mode could further suppress the influence of the curse, it was in itself a power that affected one’s emotions.

It wasn’t a particularly troublesome effect but resembled the state of being on stimulants. During Burst Mode, one’s bodily functions would be greatly enhanced, making a person more aggressive and fearless.

"Hell has the effect of amplifying negative emotions as well. Let’s get out of here," he said.

Watching Liu Hongzhao return, Zheng Yichen took out his fishing rod and waved it nearby. The Gate of Death connected Hell and the Mortal Realm. Using it from the Mortal Realm would connect directly to Hell, and using it from Hell, of course, would connect directly to the Mortal Realm.

Seeing the giant bull horn dragged by the girl in red, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but glance at the spot where the Bull God had died—a crater tens of meters deep had been blasted open in that spot. He had some recollection of the frenzy at that time; he had also broken off the Bull God’s other horn.

After breaking off, that horn remained small in size, and did not transform into the giant bull horn that Liu Hongzhao had dragged back.

The Diviners watching from afar had also arrived here, but they did not approach Zheng Yichen without permission, sensing the ominous aura emanating from him from a distance.

"Brother Chang Qing, I’ve confirmed it, there is nothing left behind on the scene," Liu Hongzhao announced after securing the collected Wolf God’s claw and the other horn, which hadn’t grown huge, onto the motorcycle. She kept glancing at Zheng Yichen, and only when she was sure that he had not lost control of his emotions during this period did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Let’s leave quickly."

"Yes, it’s not wise to stay here long. Let’s make haste," Diviner Yui Anhe immediately suggested. They had already felt the response from ’Heaven’s Mandate,’ but given their current environment and Zheng Yichen’s condition, they did not immediately process this feedback.

If this place wasn’t Hell and if Zheng Yichen’s mental state were better, even the aged Diviners would not be able to contain their jubilation.

The killing of the supposedly unkillable Supreme Demon had indeed happened, and while the Supreme Demon died, the Diviners glimpsed a deeper and more hidden essence of the Supreme Demon that they would never want exposed.

Zheng Yichen’s killing of a Supreme Demon had set a precedent in their world; the inviolability of the immortal nature of the Supreme Demons had been breached. The second death of a Supreme Demon gave them a clearer insight into the real reason behind a Supreme Demon’s death.

To completely kill a Supreme Demon required uprooting it. Even if they had known this before, they couldn’t do it, as the Supreme Demons were very intact. Even if they could chop down the towering tree named Supreme Demon, they couldn’t dig up the soil and unearth the roots of a Supreme Demon.

But now the Supreme Demons were no longer intact. The death of two Supreme Demons signified an actual loss in their world, creating holes in the Supreme Demons. They could follow these holes to dig up the soil and unearth and destroy the roots of the other Supreme Demons.

Although the process would not be easy, for other beings, they now genuinely had the opportunity to eradicate the Supreme Demons completely!

And the feedback they received also flowed from the holes created by the death of the Supreme Demons.

Having left Hell, Zheng Yichen lay on the ground, gazing at the dim sky of the Land of Calamities, allowing time to soothe the turmoil within him. Liu Hongzhao sat beside him, accompanying her master quietly like a cat.

The Diviners, with time to ponder on that feedback, gathered elsewhere, their aged appearances visibly rejuvenating, not to their state before the journey, but without the aged weariness. Moreover, all four Diviners felt as if they were in a ’clear path ahead’ state.

It was as if some fate-changing divination techniques could be used easily without fear of backlash. They wouldn’t use them casually, of course. The Heaven’s Mandate they had received was like a successful bet, but it wasn’t like savings that could accrue interest.

It was a use-it-or-lose-it kind of resource. When not in use, it provided a unique assurance, guaranteeing them a hindrance-free and carefree insurance for their path ahead.

"A carefree decade," Yi Nan remarked, looking at his palm with a contemplative expression. Why did some Diviners like to take risks? Wasn’t it precisely due to this type of abrupt wealth and explosive gains?

Ten lives without worry does not mean that each life only spans a short hundred years of human existence, but living until death comes naturally—a lifespan that could be two hundred years, three hundred years, or even longer. As long as one doesn’t squander this part of Heaven’s Mandate, one can re-enter the cycle of reincarnation after death and start anew... much like Supreme Demons.

However, this kind of ten lives without worry is based on the premise that everything goes smoothly. With each reset, a portion of the Heaven’s Mandate attained in that life is consumed, and the protection of Heaven’s Mandate weakens accordingly.

"Everyone, shall we continue?" Yui Anhe asked. Their goal had already been achieved after the defeat of the first Supreme Demon. Although Zheng Yichen’s approach seemed a bit forceful, it ultimately succeeded. He calculated that had it not been for the First Kill of the dual Supreme Demons, the feedback from Heaven’s Mandate would have only secured them nine lives without worry.

As for the feedback of Heaven’s Mandate hereafter, it would not be to the same extent. They were merely benefitting from having taken the initiative; the reward for the First Kill had already been claimed, and what followed would be the normal "rewards".

"Of course we’re continuing," Huan Zhen said without hesitation. "The great deed is accomplished, but this is far from over. The Supreme Demons still exist, and our very existence will henceforth be a thorn in their side."

Ten lives without worry is relative. Supreme Demons themselves are immortal and indestructible, yet didn’t they still die completely once their roots were dug out? If the threat of Supreme Demons isn’t thoroughly dealt with, and they seek revenge later on, can we still live ten lives without worry?

The feedback of Heaven’s Mandate they received is akin to a large fortune. This fortune can’t be stolen by others, and those with malicious intent may even be backfired upon. However, Supreme Demons are an exception—they may not die directly at the hands of a Supreme Demon with the protection of Heaven’s Mandate, but with addition and subtraction, this large fortune would end up being consumed just to counter the threat of Supreme Demons.

And Supreme Demons have all the time in the world to wear them down.

Of course, they could also count on Zheng Yichen to continue dealing with Supreme Demons. Even if they withdrew now, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t stop his actions against Supreme Demons. By reaping the benefits without effort, they could ensure ten lives without worry for themselves. However, things aren’t that simple.

The feedback of Heaven’s Mandate they’ve received now could also be viewed as "life-buying money," ensuring that if they die in their subsequent actions, they still have a future. Withdraw? Exiting wouldn’t mean spitting out all the feedback they’ve received, but their ten lives could be reduced to three or even just one.

They had staked their claim on the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate to receive these benefits. Thinking of taking the advantage and then leaving? It’s not that simple. They must either complete the journey or leave with just a participation prize, all the while remaining a target in the eyes of the surviving Supreme Demons.

Withdrawal is out of the question. At most, they could bring in some new colleagues...

"We don’t need new colleagues now," Yi Nan spoke up. They had originally intended to draw in other Diviners after setting a precedent, but Zheng Yichen had been so powerful that he killed two Supreme Demons with his First Kill.

What had been expected to be nine lives without worry turned into ten. The extra life might not seem like much, but it’s an increase in the upper limit. Other Diviners could at most hope for one life under Heaven’s Mandate’s protection, ensuring a good rebirth in the next cycle, but their connection to their previous life is severed.

Their ten lives without worry are not bound by such limitations, or rather, such problems won’t exist until the protection of ten lives without worry’s Heaven’s Mandate is exhausted. And even if their Heaven’s Mandate is consumed, they could regain it, until they fulfill the full span of ten lives without worry.

Even though this is difficult, ten lives’ time offers the opportunity for someone with aspirations to extend their existence for a few more lives beyond the consumption, and if one has clever enough means, it’s possible to maintain the protection of ten lives without worry’s Heaven’s Mandate indefinitely.

This may seem like dividing Heaven’s Mandate’s protection into ten parts, which might not seem as beneficial as Diviners normally accumulating one life’s worth of Heaven’s Mandate, but as Diviners themselves, they know which is better. The received Heaven’s Mandate seems divided into ten parts, but each life enjoys the full protection of Heaven’s Mandate...

And with ten lives without worry fully accounted for, it’s still not impossible to accumulate Heaven’s Mandate. It just won’t continue into future lives. The accumulated protection would enhance the current life on top of the basis of a fully fulfilled ten lives without worry.

Consider it as 100 points of Heaven’s Mandate protection divided into ten parts, the first life enjoys the full value of 100 points, and acquiring new Heaven’s Mandate later would increase this number to 150, 200. Of course, this would only manifest in the current life; after death, the next life would have 90 points of Heaven’s Mandate.

Ten lives without worry is about increasing the upper limit and providing a safety net. Moreover, if the Heaven’s Mandate accumulated during the living life is substantial, then even if the next life can only retain 90 points, the excess accumulated from the previous one would not go to waste. The most direct manifestation would be a better reincarnation.

Of course, if they don’t wish for that, they can consume the additional accumulated Heaven’s Mandate before their death.

Conversely, if Heaven’s Mandate is consumed too heavily, they definitely won’t enjoy the benefits of ten lives without worry. Therefore, the Supreme Demons must be dealt with. Without resolving the Supreme Demons, if they are targeted for revenge by them, the whole thing is just like having nothing at all.

The Heaven’s Mandate of ten lives without worry comes from the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate and Zheng Yichen. At this moment, the Diviners have already bound themselves to them. The cost of exiting is too great. Their Heaven’s Mandate of ten lives without worry can be seen as an iron rice bowl in a corporation, and the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate is like the corporation’s own daughter.

Hence, this path they must follow to the end.

"We no longer have anything to worry about, so let’s completely overthrow the existence of Supreme Demons!" Wei Xue clenched his fists, already envisioning a future where the human race flourishes anew!

The goals of the few Diviners are highly aligned at this moment, but before that, they need to find a way for Zheng Yichen’s condition to recover. They are just support; the main force has always been Zheng Yichen, with Liu Hongzhao still being too inexperienced.
