Chapter 845 - 690: Return and Plan
Qin An stared at the youth-like Eternal Body without saying extra words, because no matter how much was said at this moment, it couldn’t express his thoughts.
Only three words could express everything.
And the "Thank you" from Qin An wasn’t spoken by him, but on behalf of the beings of this world, as the Eternal Body had already sacrificed itself.
The Eternal Body was momentarily stunned, and after realizing it, it smiled slightly, revealing a carefree demeanor.
"To hear the word thank you from the Savior’s mouth, everything I have done in my life is already worthwhile. Remember, if you can save this world in the future, the Savior can spill a cup of wine to the sky on my behalf. Forget it, there’s no need to spill a cup of wine, I might be able to see it too."
After saying this, the figure of the Eternal Body gradually faded, disappearing completely in a matter of breaths.
Qin An then turned to look at Prince Zhenyuan and said lightly, "Let’s return."
Now, the internal strife has been resolved, and the Heavenly Demon has been sealed off. At this moment, the most dangerous situation has come to a good resolution.
The most important thing is to continue developing the power of the Daqian Kingdom after returning, because all he has done only serves to delay the Heavenly Demon’s arrival, but cannot completely annihilate the Heavenly Demon.
Only by continuously developing the power of the Daqian Kingdom, allowing its strength to rise steadily, can there be the power to resist the Heavenly Demon.
Of course, after returning, he must also enhance his own strength.
Prince Zhenyuan nodded, and then, without further words with Qin An, left the Sea of Hope heading toward the capital of Daqian Kingdom.
There was no incident along the way, everything was peaceful and calm.
...
At this moment, in an endless black ocean, the Celestial Demon General Envoy sat on the surface of the water, watching the black waves rise and fall, his eyes revealing a trace of complacency.
He had calculated that with Emperor Tianwu’s action, Qin An was certain to die, with no possibility of survival.
After all, the so-called Sea of Hope was too far from the Daqian Kingdom’s capital, and the Sea of Hope was extremely dangerous, meaning Qin An was facing dual hazards.
Each hazard was deadly, making survival impossible.
If he could kill Qin An, he would definitely receive a great reward from Lord Celestial Demon, retaining supreme authority and status in the destruction of the next world, which was extremely favorable for him.
Beside him, a traitor carried an ingratiating expression on his face, madly flattering: "Lord Chief Envoy, after this task is completed, Lord Celestial Demon will certainly record heavily for you; at that time, don’t forget the efforts made by this humble one. I ask Lord Chief Envoy to put in a good word for me."
The Celestial Demon General Envoy nodded slightly: "Don’t worry, as long as you remain loyal to me, loyal to Lord Celestial Demon, you will surely get what you seek."
The traitor’s face showed a hint of joy, flattering again, as if in their minds, Qin An’s death was already a sure thing.
Just as the traitor continued to spout flattering words, the Celestial Demon General Envoy suddenly showed a trace of doubt on his face.
Immediately, he took out a piece of pitch-black jade from his bosom.
This jade was connected to Emperor Tianwu; when he initially tasked Emperor Tianwu with this mission, he hid it inside Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu’s life and death could be known through this jade.
The instant the Celestial Demon General Envoy took out this jade, it showed web-like cracks in no time.
Within a few breaths, it turned into a pile of shards, falling into the boundless black sea.
The Celestial Demon General Envoy was stunned, and the traitor was also taken aback.
The scene was deathly silent, with even the sound of a needle falling audible.
After a long time, the Celestial Demon General Envoy suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a tinge of horror.
"Impossible, how could he die? He was in the Celestial Human Realm, theoretically, killing Qin An should have been extremely simple."
"Could it be that Qin An truly found a way out at a dead end?"
Emperor Tianwu’s death indicated that Qin An had escaped from that certain death predicament.
But why had his meticulous plan failed?
Qin An was only a Manifest Saint Realm person, there’s no way he could evade Emperor Tianwu’s pursuit.
Moreover, that place was the Sea of Hope, formed by countless fractured worlds.
Even if he were the Savior, what would it matter?
There should have been no way to resist those terrifying obsessions.
The traitor next to him witnessed this scene and instinctively said: "Is he really that hard to kill? Impossible, even as the Savior, he shouldn’t have been able to escape from Emperor Tianwu’s pursuit."
After this sentence, the Celestial Demon General Envoy fell into silence again.
He thought of the word "Savior," suddenly clenched his fists, and took several deep breaths.
For some reason, a crack appeared in his previously complacent mindset, and within this crack arose a hint of fear.
And this fear was directly coming from Qin An.
"Stop thinking about these things."
The Celestial Demon General Envoy suddenly waved his sleeve to resist that trace of fear deep in his mind.
The traitor saw this and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
The Celestial Demon General Envoy slowly released his clenched fist, gazing into this pitch-black space, and spoke: "Dead means dead, plan failed, we have another plan. What we need to do now is not fear or panic, nor do nothing. Instead, we must figure out a way to kill Qin An before the Heavenly Demon descends."
