Moreover, Lin Yun knew in his heart that at this moment, Lone Wolf, Yun Shang, his son Lin Yi, and other loved ones who had failed to overcome their tribulations, standing by his side, would eventually face this day.
Lin Yun was clear in his heart that over the next few hundred or thousand years, they would leave one by one.
This was something Lin Yun could not change, and he could only watch helplessly as they departed.
Lin Yun finally understood why some immortals said that immortality was also a form of pain, that immortality was lonely.
“No!” Lin Yun clenched his fists tightly, letting out a low roar.
Lin Yun was unwilling to see his loved ones, who had failed their tribulations, leave one by one!
“Father!”
“Brother Yun!”
“Lin Yun…”
Lin Yi, Lone Wolf, and Yun Shang, standing nearby, saw Lin Yun’s eyes turn bloodshot as he roared, and they were all deeply worried.
At this moment, Lin Yun’s heart grew even more resolute in his determination to go to the Ancestral Land to seek a way to revive people.
White Shark, his mother, Wang Xue, Zheng Yi, the Lord of the Holy Temple…
There were many people Lin Yun wanted to bring back!
“Lin Yun, come quickly!”
Suddenly, a message from Mo Bai came through the communication bracelet.
Lin Yun knew in his heart that Mo Bai would not contact him unless it was urgent.
And Mo Bai sounded so anxious, could something have happened?
Although Lin Yun felt heavy-hearted at this moment, he still decided to go immediately.
“Lone Wolf, you handle the arrangements for now. I have urgent business to attend to and will be back soon,” Lin Yun said.
After giving instructions, Lin Yun quickly left, heading straight for Tianji Mountain.
…
After crossing Tianji Mountain, Lin Yun arrived at the small island where Mo Bai was.
On the island.
“Master Mo, what’s happened?” Lin Yun asked immediately upon landing.
“Lin Yun, look over there,” Master Mo pointed ahead.
Lin Yun looked up and saw the boundary seal connected to the Dark Demon Clan.
“Hm? Something seems off?” Lin Yun frowned.
“I’ve been here for many years, and this boundary seal has always been stable, but today, I suddenly noticed it starting to loosen bit by bit,” Master Mo said with a grave expression.
“What? Loosening?” Lin Yun was shocked.
“It’s only been nearly a thousand years of peace, and now new problems arise. This is the arrangement of the Heavenly Law. The Demon Clan was eradicated, but it won’t allow our human race to develop without threats. It seeks balance!” Master Mo said, gazing ahead.
Lin Yun, of course, understood this in his heart.
Were the Demon Clan and the Dark Demon Clan the true enemies?
No, they were merely pawns, pawns of the Heavenly Law.
Even if the Demon Clan was eradicated, even if the Dark Demon Clan was destroyed, the Heavenly Law would arrange other things to achieve its so-called balance.
There could never be lasting peace!
Even the destruction of an era was part of the Heavenly Law’s arrangement.
To eradicate the Demon Clan, how much time and effort had Lin Yun expended!
The peace Lin Yun had fought so hard for, was the Heavenly Law about to erase it so easily?
Today, his son failed his tribulation, Lone Wolf passed away, and now this news came.
Lin Yun knew that tribulations were also part of the Heavenly Law’s arrangement. The difficulty of tribulations was the Heavenly Law’s way of preventing immortality!
The anger in Lin Yun’s heart could no longer be contained!
Heaven is unjust, treating all beings as mere straw dogs!
In his fury, Lin Yun pointed at the sky and cursed, “High and mighty Heavenly Law, you toy with us like this. Do you really think we ants are so easily bullied? That we will just let you manipulate and destroy us?!”
His roar caused the sea around the island to surge with monstrous waves, the space trembling and wailing!
But no matter how Lin Yun roared, it was to no avail.
Looking at the sky, Lin Yun felt as if the heavens were mocking him, leaving him to rage helplessly!
“If the heavens are unjust, I will defy them! If the Heavenly Law seeks to treat me as an ant to manipulate, then I will tread upon the Heavenly Law and shatter the firmament! I will break your rules!” Lin Yun declared war, pointing at the sky.
Boom!
As Lin Yun spoke, a bolt of thunder suddenly descended from the clear sky, striking directly at him.
“Get lost!”
Lin Yun thrust out his iron fist, smashing it fiercely, and with a ‘boom,’ he shattered the thunderbolt with one punch.
“What? You, the heavens, want to punish me? If you can’t destroy me, then I will destroy you!” Lin Yun stood like a sharp blade.
As his words fell, Lin Yun flipped his hand and revealed the token of the Heavenly Fire Temple, injecting his inner strength into it!
Activating the token meant notifying the Heavenly Fire Temple to come for him.
Yes, Lin Yun was going to the Ancestral Land!
Since the Ancestral Land was a place even the Heavenly Law could not influence, he would go there to defy the Heavenly Law!
And more importantly, Lin Yun would go to the Ancestral Land to find a way to revive people!
“Lin Yun, it seems you’re determined to go,” Master Mo said from the side.
Lin Yun’s words just now had truly shocked Master Mo. He hadn’t expected Lin Yun to dare speak such words.
Though immortals resented the Heavenly Law, who had the courage to curse and challenge it like Lin Yun?
Lin Yun’s passion and ambition were beyond even Master Mo’s reach.
“Master Mo, whether it’s fighting the Demon Clan or the unknown Dark Demon Clan, it’s all futile. The Heavenly Law is the root!” Lin Yun said firmly.
“Defying the heavens? I’m afraid that’s too difficult…” Mo Bai sighed.
Fighting the heavens, what a mad idea.
Only a ‘madman’ like Lin Yun would dare to do so, right?
“As long as it stands against me, no matter how strong it is, I am not afraid. At worst, I’ll be reduced to dust. I, Lin Yun, have lived enough!” Lin Yun’s tone was sharp.
“Since you’ve activated the token, go to the Ancestral Land with peace of mind,” Master Mo said.
“Master Mo, how long can this boundary seal hold?” Lin Yun asked.
“The seal has only just begun to loosen. I’ll call the Dominion Realm experts to join forces and reinforce it with inner strength. It should hold for a few thousand years, though exactly how many, I cannot say,” Mo Bai replied.
“I understand,” Lin Yun nodded.
Moments later, a phantom figure appeared before Lin Yun.
It was the same elder from the Heavenly Fire Temple.
“You’ve finally activated the token. How soon will you depart?” the elder asked, looking at Lin Yun.
“Please arrange the time, Elder,” Lin Yun said.
“Then, one year from now. Be ready in the Divine Palace in advance,” the elder said.
The elder did not avoid Master Mo, as he was also part of the Heavenly Fire Temple.
After setting the time, the elder’s phantom vanished.
“Lin Yun, since you’ll leave in a year, go home first and bid farewell to your loved ones,” Mo Bai said.
“Alright.”
After responding, Lin Yun instantly turned into a blur and left.
…
Back home, Lin Yun shared the news of his journey to the Ancestral Land with his loved ones.
Everyone was naturally very supportive.
Lin Yun also told them that he might find a way to revive people there.
In the courtyard.
“Lin Yun, these years you’ve lived happily, but we know there’s one thing that makes you unhappy: loneliness,” Yun Shang said.
She continued, “What I mean is the loneliness of having no enemies, no challenges. You are someone who loves adventure and challenges. A stable, peaceful life isn’t what you want, is it?”
