At Long Last

It has been an hour since the group of seven were flying to meet their esteemed unwanted guests. By that time, the yellow shining sun had already risen from the ground. The sunlight filled the sky, and pure scattering light illuminated each crevice of the land.

Looking at this scene from above as Longwei was flying, he wished time would have halted. The trees shone as if they were wearing golden crowns. It was bright and mesmerizing.

On the way, the party of seven had to take a long break not because they were tired but because one of them was badly injured and couldn't continue. He was none other than one of the three human Saints that had battled against the Crown prince of the Yang empire who had become a demon.

His name was Feng Li and was one of the Saint powerhouses from the Nine Seas alliance. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had to receive some immediate care. At the same time, the group had decided that he wasn't in a condition to battle just in case the negotiations fail which resulted in him going back to the Yang Empire to stabilize the situation after the crown prince had almost killed off every single one of the citizens as sacrifices to his demonic ritual.

It was a shame that the Crown prince had long escaped after being unable to kill the three of them, Otherwise, Longwei would have made him his first victim after breaking into a new realm. Even though, it was the White Frost dragon that had personally killed his parents. Nonetheless, it was because of the Yang Empire crown prince's scheme that his parents had died. In another word, his hatred for him as well Li Fei was no less than that of the White Frost dragon.

Longwei also asked him to look for someone in the yang Imperial capital and to keep her and her family safe at any cost if he ever found them. Aside from that, he also asked him to look for another person. It wasn't an order or some sort as Longwei wasn't their leader, it was just asking for a favor. As for Feng Li, seeing someone as powerful as Longwei who accompanied by two powerful dragons asked him for a favor, he was more than willing to do it.

Even if he hasn't seen Longwei in actions after breaking through the Saint rank, but he saw how Longwei had smashed that last heavenly tribulation with his bare hand. Just by thinking about it, made his leg went soft. He's afraid that not even a dozen of him could stop that heavenly thunder fist. furthermore, he had also witnessed how that young man who looked so harmless and scholarly had savagely beaten that white Frost Dragon into meat paste. Not to mention, that cold looking Red haired young girl who called that young man big brother was enough to kill him without breaking a sweat. Just those facts alone made Feng Li considered Longwei's request as his highest priority. Who wouldn't want to be on a good term with such a powerful expert?

As they were traveling together, Longwei learned a good deal about them. The new Saint powerhouse that recently joined them name's Qin Nan, and he was also the Emperor of the Qin Empire. He was pretty strong and was the only Saint rank peak expert throughout the whole Archaic continent. As for the other two, they came from the Nine Seas Alliance. They were both brothers, the oldest one Feng Ping was a Saint Rank middle stage expert, and the youngest looking one was Feng Feiyun, a Saint Rank early Stage expert.

As they were flying, they keep on conversing with one another. However, Silvia and scarlet didn't take part in the conversion. It was just Longwei and Qin Nan. Long Wei began to admire Qin Nan personality as they talked to each other. Even though, the Archaic Continent was considered as a big island. Nonetheless, it was pretty vast. Endless landscape with blue skies and drifting could be seen from the distance.

They had already left the cities and were currently flying above the magical beast forest. From above, within the magical beast forest, they could see giants trees that were comparable in size with mountains. They also encountered some group of magical beasts that were flying above the forest as their sharp cries echoed through the forest. Some of them were fighting against each other occasionally. However, none of them dare to approach them as they were flying. They even took the initiative to run away and hide whenever they saw them. Magical beasts had a kin sense of danger, and from those people, they could feel a great sense of danger and their senses urged them to run away and hide if they didn't want to become breakfast for those people.

" Bother Qin, why did choose to fight against the demon invasion despite knowing that the chances of winning are almost none? Not to mention the demon race, won't be the only race you'll have to worry about."

After talking for more than half hour with Qin Nan, Longwei had learned that despite each of the great clans went on to found the own empire, they have made a pact to fight to the death against the demon invasion and the other races. It's true that they have their conflicts due to self-interest, But Qin Nan had forced them to take an oath to fight to the death against the demons and other races in case the illusionary barrier had broken or worn out. He was able to do that after he had broken through the late stage of Saint rank and were able to overpower them. Even though they all had agreed to fight against the demons and not betray the human race, but Qin Nan did not trust them because he knew that the stronger one gets, they more afraid they are of death, not mention after breaking through the Saint rank, they have a lifespan of a thousand year.

Unfortunately, his plan was not foolproof as the Yang Empire Crown prince had managed to betray the human race and allied with the enemy.

" Brother Wei, you think I want to die? I don't want to die. I wish so much to watch my children grow up and play with my grandchildren and hear them call me grandpa."

" Brother Wei, right now I only have two choices! one, be like a coward old tortoise, watch as countless fellow humans get killed, watch as countless defenseless and innocent children get killed or watch as their parents get killed, watch as newborn babies who are still in breastfed get killed and enslaved by the demons and the other races, while I, along with my close ones and children hide and run away like fugitives with no home and live like a coward. "

" Brother Wei, I am not afraid of death. I am more afraid of betraying the sacrifices of the countless others humans that had sacrificed themselves and other to keep hope alive, I am more afraid of betraying the trust of that senior that had sacrificed his life to defeat the Demon Lord and seal this whole Archaic continent in order to give us a chance at survival and to make a come back. I am more afraid of making all his efforts to become in vain."

"Death is not scary at all. Men, grow old or die of illness all the time, it is all a cycle no matter if we have a long lifespan. it is something hard to escape."

" I want to help my fellow humans and the countless children and families. I want to fight for those who can't. On behalf of them and the senior that had given me a chance, I want to fight against the otherworldly beings even if the chances of surviving are very slim. More importantly, I'm doing this for my sake as well."

" Plus as a human, I naturally can't shirk my responsibilities."

Said Qin Nan with a firm resolute face and an immovable determination. through, his eyes, Longwei could see his unshakable resolve to fight to the death and protect his fellow humans and his homeland.

Listening to all of this, Longwei felt a little complicated. His admiration toward Qin Nan has reached a new height. He could not believe that a person like him who was more powerful and possess more resources than Qin Nan, was inferior to him when it comes to a firm resolve. It's true that he wanted to save the human races, but he had a plan. After the illusionary barrier had been broken prematurely, he was thinking about saving and protect only his close ones because his plan had become invalid. it was only after, he broke through to a whole new level that he felt that he has enough power to make a difference and decided to stick with his original plan. Remembering all of this, Longwei couldn't help to feel a little ashamed of himself.

Although Longwei felt a little ashamed of himself, he still hasn't changed his way of thinking. While he admired Qin Nan's resolve and belief, he was still thinking about retreating the moment the situation wasn't in his favor. though he did not mind saving the human races against the other races and help them hold on to their territory, It was mostly out of self-interest. if not, there was nothing to consider.

As Longwei was talking about Qin Nan, a blue screen pops up in front of him which make him shiver in happiness. He has been waiting for that moment for more than one hour, he has been waiting to see what kind of bloodline he has awakened as well as the dark blue energy core inside the void space who occupied the space where his sea of consciousness was.

" Yes," answered Longwei with his face filled with anticipations.
