Chapter 286
The eyes of the four little brats instantly lit up, and they looked at Cecilia with shining, grateful eyes.
"However, the 100,000-word essay is non-negotiable! The solitary confinement can be reduced to one week!"
But the moment Adam’s voice rang out again, their little faces completely collapsed, they still had to go into solitary confinement.
After Adam escorted the little brats back to the island, he immediately returned.
Upon seeing their children return safely, the parents were incredibly kind and loving, immediately showing their care right there on the spot.
What a beautiful scene of maternal love, filial piety, and deep father-son bonds. It moved the little brats so much that even after Adam teleported away, the sound of their happy wailing continued to ring in his ears.
It was loud enough to pierce the heavens.
Returning to Cecilia’s side, the faceless woman Sylvia hadn’t left yet and was chatting with Cecilia.
"Young Master, Sister Sylvia said she is leaving us and probably won’t be back for a very long time." Cecilia reported the moment she saw Adam return.
Adam furrowed his brows slightly, this was news he didn’t want to hear, although the faceless woman’s sudden appearance had given him quite a fright initially, in their time together she had provided him with immense help.
She wasn’t as terrifying as her appearance suggested, on the contrary, she was a very good person, no, a very good soul.
Of course, Adam wouldn’t forcefully compel her to stay.
He had no right to do so, and more importantly, he simply didn’t have the strength.
"Sister Sylvia, where are you going?" Adam was deeply curious about the secrets hidden within this Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit.
Unfathomable strength, having stayed in the Underworld, directly calling the Underworld’s Great Emperor by his name, any one of these facts alone was enough to shock the world.
Furthermore, he was very curious about the path they had mentioned in their conversation.
What kind of path had the Underworld chosen? And what did that young girl mean when she said the Underworld had reached a critical point? Did these ghosts invade the Yang Realm because they could no longer survive down there? Why would the Underworld, where they had lived for thousands and tens of thousands of years, suddenly become unlivable?
Sylvia looked at Adam. That blank, empty face seemed to be smiling, and her voice was light and laced with amusement, like a whisper in the wind. "Handsome, I have my own mission, I have things I must accomplish."
"I know you have many questions, but I cannot tell you right now."
"I can only tell you this, in the future, incidents like the Underworld invading the Yang Realm will only become more frequent, when that time comes, the lives of mortals will become completely worthless, just like they are right now!"
"If one cannot become a Saint, then in the final stages, if you want to survive, you will have to live hiding in the dark like a rat!"
Everyone in Hundred Rivers City had been turned into ghosts during this incident, they had all lost their lives.
Adam fell silent, this Heaven and Earth Upheaval was simply too bizarre.
In the later stages, shouldn’t spiritual energy begin to dry up as the event neared its end, returning everything to tranquility?
Why did Sylvia say that without becoming a Saint, one could only live like a rat? Those were Heaven and Earth Deities she was talking about.
A realm that wasn’t even allowed to exist before the upheaval began, yet even they would have to live so wretchedly.
Just what kind of catastrophe was going to happen?
"Sister Sylvia, can I at least know why the Underworld had to sacrifice an entire city?" Adam asked calmly.
"You are a Formation Master, you should already have a guess in your heart, no?" Sylvia’s voice was placid.
"Yin spirits are ultimately not creatures of the Yang Realm, if they want to exist here long-term, they must have a suitable environment."
Adam’s suspicions were confirmed.
"Furthermore, they didn’t want to expose themselves to the world immediately, therefore, Hundred Rivers City, located near the edge of the continent, became their primary choice." Sylvia’s voice seemed to carry a faint sigh, but it was so light that neither Adam nor Cecilia caught it.
"I understand!" Adam nodded.
"Sister Sylvia, will you come back?" He knew he couldn’t stop her, her protection over this period had already been an incredible boon.
Sylvia fell silent for a moment. "I might, but I also might not, it depends on many factors, including whether I can complete my mission and the changes in this world."
"Sister Sylvia, take this, you should know how to use it, let’s keep in touch." Adam pulled a Spirit Communicator from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Alright, then, handsome, we will meet again if fate allows, I hope that the next time we meet, you will already be a Supreme Great Emperor, you possess the most heaven-defying talent I have ever seen, perhaps it truly is possible for you to become an Emperor!" Sylvia had no face, but her tone carried a warm smile.
"Sister Sylvia, don’t joke around with me, remove the I hope part!" Adam chuckled shamelessly.
Sylvia was momentarily stunned, and then the amusement in her voice became even more pronounced.
"If, and I mean if, you truly become a Great Emperor, and you find yourself with the time, make a trip to the Heavenly Court’s Peach Orchard, find the oldest Peach Tree there, there is a spatial passage beneath it, ho through it, and help me destroy whatever is down there!"
Not giving Adam a chance to speak, Sylvia immediately continued.
"Alright, I’m leaving now, I’m returning this thing to you, it’s too small, it doesn’t fit my face at all!" She tossed the Dragon Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter to Adam, and her figure slowly began to fade.
"Handsome, do your best, for the sake of surviving!" Leaving behind those final words, Sylvia’s figure completely vanished.
Adam grasped the Dragon Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter, his expression somewhat grave, even a supreme existence at Sylvia’s level had to leave due to mounting pressure, this world was truly becoming difficult to survive in!
