570 No Chance of Winning?

Zhao Yan suddenly shut her mouth.

Wan Meng’s expression also darkened.

Yeah.

The only thing she hated about the secular world was the danger everywhere.

It was her first time out, and so many things had happened. Even Fatty, who had brought her out, had been killed by a demon.

The atmosphere was a little heavy. Lin Qiye did not know what to say.

Just like that, the three unknowingly arrived at the main hall on the highest peak of the secret realm.

They landed in front of the door, and the door opened automatically.

Lin Qiye only peeked through the opening door and was immediately suppressed by the three figures in the middle of the hall.

“What!”

Lin Qiye turned pale with fright.

He only felt as if his body was embedded into a wall and sealed with glue. It was extremely difficult for him to move his fingers.

Zhao Yan did not seem to feel anything out of the ordinary. After the door opened, she took the lead and entered the hall. She respectfully said to the three elders sitting in the main seats, “Reporting to the three high gods. This subordinate has brought the prophesied person.”

As she spoke, she turned around and gave Lin Qiye a look, signaling him to come in.

Lin Qiye’s face turned bitter. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go in, but he couldn’t move at all.

It was laughable that before he came, he had thought even if he encountered a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm, he would have the ability to protect himself.

Now, it seemed he had underestimated the power of those old aces in the Celestial Realm.

“Come in.”

A hoarse and aged voice sounded, and Lin Qiye finally regained his ability to move.

Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. He endured the remaining pressure and walked into the hall step by step.

The three elders took it in and couldn’t help but nod and exchange glances.

“Junior Lin Qiye greets the three high gods.”

Lin Qiye was neither haughty nor humble as he politely bowed to the three.

“He is the ‘antidote’ in the prophecy?”

“No way. He’s just a little guy in the Human Immortal Realm. How can his strength be enough?”

“That’s right. Even the three high gods couldn’t do anything to the demonic Supreme. What can he, a guy in the Human Immortal Realm, do?”

Whispers of discussion could be heard in the hall. Most were doubtful, and almost no one thought highly of Lin Qiye.

The voices were not lowered. Lin Qiye could hear them clearly.

However, he didn’t care about that.

After all, each of the 40-odd cultivators was a top powerhouse in the Celestial Realm.

Any one of them could be invincible in the secular world. It was expected for them to look down on him.

“Not bad. To make Wan Meng recognize you as her master is enough to prove your identity.”

The white-bearded elder in the main seat of the hall spoke in a deep voice, immediately silencing the discussions.

Lin Qiye observed the three elders without a change in expression.

Although their cultivation levels were still at the Celestial Realm, their auras were so strong that they had exceeded the limits of Lin Qiye’s detection.

There were also several powerhouses at the peak of the Celestial Realm in the hall, but their auras were like stars and moon in front of the three elders. There was no comparison at all.

“All of you can leave first. I have something to say to him alone.”

“Yes.”

In the main hall, the leading elder dismissed the crowd, leaving Lin Qiye alone, looking a little dazed.

He had wanted to ask Wan Meng about the temper of these three elders.

He didn’t expect Wan Meng to hide in the depths of his sea of consciousness before he entered the hall.

“Come forward.”

The white-bearded elder waved at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye did not dare to disobey. He could only walk towards the white-bearded elder.

In his opinion, the gap between him and those three could not be made up by any means.

Fear was futile. It was better to be straightforward.

Lin Qiye cupped his fists and bowed respectfully again. “May I know why senior has summoned this junior?”

The white-bearded elder raised his head and gradually revealed his face hidden under the cloak.

It was a face so dry that it was almost inhuman. If it weren’t for the strong aura on him, Lin Qiye would have suspected that he was a zombie.

“How many years has it been? I’ve been waiting for so many years…”

He looked at Lin Qiye, his eyes glimmering. His voice was no longer as calm as before.

“Senior…”

Lin Qiye felt a little uncomfortable under the old man’s gaze.

At this moment, the white-bearded elder seemed to realize he had lost his composure.

He laughed and said in a hoarse voice, “I lost my composure. I didn’t expect I would be able to meet the ‘antidote’ before the end of my life.”

Even though he already knew Lin Qiye was the “antidote,” the white-bearded elder could not suppress his joy and excitement after confirming it.

Lin Qiye had been curious about the prophecies and antidotes he had heard many times.

Seeing that the white-bearded elder was kind to him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, what do you mean by ‘antidote?’ I’ve heard people say I’m the prophesied person, but it feels like the story is different every time.”

Lin Qiye had heard Black Dragon’s prophecy before. He had also gotten some news from Luo Xiaobei in the secular world. Later, he even heard Wan Meng and Zhao Yan’s detailed versions.

However, without exception, the prophecies only said he would lead the human and fiends to fight against the demons.

Some prophecies came to an abrupt end, while others said he would lead the two races to defeat the demons.

The same person would have different versions of the story, which troubled Lin Qiye.

“The prophecies you’ve heard are all true, or you can say they’re all false.”

The white-bearded elder seemed to be happy to explain to Lin Qiye.

“The prophecy has many branches. Every decision you make will have a major impact on the future.”

Lin Qiye was speechless.

If what the elder said was true, wouldn’t the prophecy be meaningless?

In any case, every decision he made could lead to a different direction of development.

He didn’t have the chance to try them one by one. Once he did something, he would lose his way back.

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but miss the Deduction of Genesis.

He didn’t know the exact situation, but he could guess it was all related to the demons.

When he thought of the demons’ increasing activity, the methods he could use in the main world became weaker.

Lin Qiye could conclude that the demons had established some connection with this world, so much so that even the power of the main world had been suppressed.

“Senior, can you tell me what are the chances of your Heavenly God Palace winning against the demon race?”

Lin Qiye did not have a clear idea of the demon race’s strength, so he planned to use the power of the Heavenly God Palace as a reference.

Hearing his question, the white-bearded elder slowly shook his head.

“There’s no chance of winning.”

“The realm-devouring demons, or sky-devouring demons, had already started to invade and devour this world 100,000 years ago. Over the years, this world had already been riddled with holes in places no one could see.”

“If we want to fight against the demon clan head-on, even if we combine all the forces of the human race and the fiend race, the odds of winning are less than ten percent!”

Lin Qiye was shocked.

“What? How was that possible? What about the prophecy? Even if I’m the one in the prophecy, I can’t do what the prophecy says!”

One of the prophecies said Lin Qiye would lead the humans and fiends to defeat the demons.

However, the white-bearded elder in front of him could completely crush him. How could he possibly deal with an army of demons even the elder had no confidence in?

“There’s no chance of winning in a confrontation, but the key is your origin. You are the same as those demons from the outer realm. Maybe you have some special characteristics we don’t have,” The white-bearded elder said unhurriedly.

He seemed to have seen through the prophecy thoroughly and stated the most likely situation.
