Chapter 945: Chapter 411: Evergreen Lives On

"By the heavenly command, all elderly, women, and children within the Eleventh, Tenth, and Ninth Layers of Heaven, evacuate immediately to the Seventh Domain!"

"The battle against the eerie will be further intensified, and a large number of eerie enemies are bound to attack shortly. All cultivators must prepare for battle!"

"Great Saint Shangguan Xiaoxiao is stationed at the Celestial Court. All major powers can select a group of seed talents to go to the Celestial Court and receive protection. Any Immortal Level cultivators who retreat on the battlefield will face death!"

...

Li An stayed in the Eleventh Heaven for only a few days, yet continuous commands from the Celestial Court had been sent out. Daluo Golden Immortal Ye Tiancan personally arrived, bringing a group of experts from the Celestial Pearl Palace, stationed here to execute the various commands of the Celestial Court.

Despite the tense atmosphere with a storm seemingly looming, there was no panic within the Eleventh Heaven, everything was orderly.

Under the Celestial Court’s mobilization, a large number of transport warships arrived, initially evacuating the elderly and children among mortals, then ordinary people and low-level cultivators, even Spirit Beasts in this realm were transported away.

"Indeed, the New Celestial Court is completely different from before. During the anti-eerie battle, countless lives were devastated, numerous people were displaced yet received no attention, but now the Celestial Court can care for them..."

"After a thousand years of cultivation, one only sees deceit and mutual calculation, a dark path of Immortal Dao, yet unexpectedly, there are those who practice such acts of chivalry..."

"With Purple Fairy, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Dao Sect... Our Celestial Court is hopeful!"

For a time, within the Eleventh Heaven, the atmosphere changed dramatically; the New Celestial Court demonstrated its purpose to the world through actions.

This brought great praise to the Dao Sect, with the reputation of Purple Fairy, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and others reaching its peak; even in the mortal realm, people were building commemorative monuments and temples for them, like "Fairy Temple," "Great Saint Temple," emerging like mushrooms after rain.

"Immortals, immortals; throughout history, few immortals have been worshipped by mortals."

"Immortals only need to give a mere glance to truly gain the admiration of this world, but unfortunately, no one will do anything for these bottom-level ants..."

"If the weak are not protected, the existence of the strong has no meaning."

Many people sighed.

Atmosphere changed drastically, for a time, many forces across the world put aside their sectarian prejudices, truly began to help each other, weathering the storm together; slaughter and conflict calmed down significantly, even if there were irreconcilable contradictions, willing to seek justice from the Celestial Court.

Because people truly believe they can receive justice in the Celestial Court!

Even within the Eleventh Heaven, those who had to stay behind had little resentment, instead their morale was high!

"Even if it means dying in battle, so what!"

"Come on, eerie brats!... "

"Haha, after thousands of years of arduous cultivation, only today do I understand myself, finally realizing I was wrong in heart before, destined to die in battle for the Celestial Court!"

Inside the tavern, Li An listened to the change of atmosphere today, witnessing a table of people who used to scheme against each other forming alliances in just a few days, discussing spells, sharing Talismans, Array, and other resources, wholeheartedly preparing to fight the eerie. He was deeply moved.

Nowadays in the Celestial Court, even though Purple Fairy and Shangguan Xiaoxiao were already severely injured, lacking real combat power, even though Dao Sect’s strength wasn’t considered top-notch, the only Daluo Golden Immortal Xiang Yuntian still in seclusion... yet, they gave the world hope.

"Short-lived but beautiful."

Li An murmured softly, he held praise for this but did not harbor much passion.

Even towards Dao Sect, although he felt a sense of belonging and recognition, he didn’t see much promise.

Taiqingzi, Withered Fate, now to Xiang Yuntian, An Li, they always seemed positive and righteous.

But this positivity and righteousness often wouldn’t last forever.

Especially since Dao Sect had already reached the top, becoming the most renowned sect in this world afterward.

Leaders of startups often have hero qualities, ascending teams often are unbreakable, but once at the top, they often disband internally, decaying secretly, eventually eroding everything away...

In this world, it’s not the first time a Celestial Court has been established; past Celestial Courts have already been destroyed, today’s Celestial Court will also end one day. This is the trend of time, an unbreakable cycle.

Taiqingzi, Withered Fate, Xiang Yuntian, An Li... they are all surely heroic figures, and they all have selfless hearts, but what about their descendants?

Everything will change.

...

Nothing can endure forever, except for the Longevity of Dao Fruit.

...

Li An’s heart remained unshakably firm.

This pursuit of immortality is absolutely required.

He always remained rational, even betting on the battle of the Celestial Court but that didn’t mean in his heart, he tied himself to the fate of Dao Sect.

He simply didn’t want to let himself develop a Heart Demon in the future.

He now comprehended the way of balance, best maintaining inner peace between life and death.

Like a Longevity Seeker, due to witnessing his wife and children dying because of him during the Dao attainment, even though he attained immortality, ultimately he couldn’t find peace, having to rebuild everything to revive his wife and children, losing everything himself.

"Woo woo woo----"

Just at this moment, a grand horn sound suddenly spread across the Eleven Heavens!

This was the border horn, signifying a large number of eerie troops were invading!

"Eerie brats are here, let’s go, kill!"

"Let’s fight them!"

"My blade is already impatient!"

Inside the tavern, unexpectedly no one fled, among this group of cultivators, the strongest was only a Profound Immortal leader, there were even many Mahayana Stage and Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators, who could actually leave the Eleven Heavens to take refuge, but they stayed, now setting out together, agreeing to go fight the enemy.
