Chapter 1424 - 1035: What a Huge Scandal!

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1035: What a Huge Scandal!

He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "If I had realized earlier, maybe there would still be a chance to turn the tide, and the entire Colorful Scale Mountain wouldn’t have been completely destroyed.

The world we live in is no different from those collapsing worlds, on a seemingly peaceful and beautiful day, mountains trembled without warning, the sky cracked open, and huge fireballs fell down.

The race that lived for generations on Colorful Scale Mountain noticed the anomaly. The elders in the clan forcibly came out of seclusion and summoned the descendants back to the mountain. They revealed their true forms and used their massive bodies to wrap around Colorful Scale Mountain layer by layer, using their flesh and blood to buy a slim chance of survival for us younger ones hiding in the mountain.

Many times I’ve thought, perhaps at that time it just needed me! If I hadn’t wasted my time and cultivated more diligently, maybe I could have..."

Under the selfless efforts of the elders, Colorful Scale Mountain held on for a long time.

But eventually, it still crumbled into many fragments, drifting in the void.

Lan Shanying had relatively good luck; during the upheaval, he was knocked unconscious by a piece of mountain stone. When he woke up after an unknown amount of time, he found himself on a small rock, surprisingly drifting into the territory of the Demon Realm.

Then, he was rescued by the kind-hearted Demon Cultivator Yun Li, who healed his injuries, exchanged Spirit Stones for him to absorb and refine, and eventually sent him to a world where Demon Cultivators lived.

To repay the life-saving grace, Lan Shanying willingly formed a bond to become Yun Li’s Death Warrior.

Skipping over some of the process, he explained briefly, "After witnessing the calamity, I resolved to cultivate earnestly, but sadly my birthplace had already crumbled. Walking Flood Dragons require moving from the birthplace, traversing rivers and seas before entering the ocean. After wandering various worlds, I finally took root in the Wilderness. I intended to become a Walking Flood Dragon but no longer had the qualifications."

Unexpectedly, Du Li, upon learning of his friend’s tragic experiences when young, patted his shoulder in comfort, unable to say anything, merely sighing silently.

"It is precisely because of those early experiences that I chose to join the Demon Realm Alliance with you and to help it flourish and grow," Lan Shanying said softly. "After all, I’ve lived here for many years, and developed feelings.

I don’t want the Wilderness World to be utterly destroyed, and I’m willing to give everything I have, even if only to prevent this world from collapsing, so that the beings here do not have to suffer a calamitous fate, no matter the cost."

"I see!" Du Li chuckled in response: "A true gentleman considers intentions and not appearances. Regardless of how much we have contributed or how many foolish things we’ve done to save the Wilderness World, ultimately we have tried.

Now Mr. Jiang has taken over, has fostered a Black Tortoise Divine Beast, and begun promoting the migration of Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts. If we can lend a hand, we’ll do whatever we can; if we can’t, we’ll just let things unfold and see how Mr. Jiang will turn the tide."

His Heart Demon had vanished, and under the influence of the Black Tortoise, he now only wished to retreat and purify himself through cultivation.

Lan Shanying nodded silently without answering, watching the gift-giving ceremony in the small courtyard conclude, Jiang Yuan and Yuan Man exchanged a few words before going about their own business. After contemplating for a moment, he turned and entered his newly assigned courtyard.

[Side Quest: Daughter of Fortune]

[Quest 10: Give Yuan Man 200 points of Life Origin to help her replenish her deficit, completed. Reward: Luck +500 has been issued]

Jiang Yuan was contently watching as he fully completed a side quest, when a new message popped up in his vision—

[Pavilion Master Cang: It’s not good, Mr. Jiang! I just received an order from the Demon Realm, commanding me to use a Demonic Energy conduction array to release Demonic Energy within Wo Hu Temple Market and surrounding cities, what should be done about this?]

[Detected Believer Demon Cultivator Du Yiyun urgently summoning, open a channel to respond?]
