Chapter 476: 476 Is the Opponent a God? Fall off the Horse Warning! [2 Updates]

Northwest, Southern Frontier, Eastern Wilderness—these three great border fortresses fell, also foreshadowing the beginning of Shenzhou’s complete collapse.

For seven days and nights, darkness enveloped the sky, and everywhere there was slaughter and bloodshed.

A million aggrieved souls still cannot dissipate to this day.

These invaders came so suddenly that they caught everyone in Shenzhou off guard.

Yet they retreated just as hastily, when they clearly had the chance to occupy Shenzhou, they disappeared overnight.

The history books never recorded how they left, nor did any witness know what happened at that time.

All that is known is that on the eighth day, at dawn, the sun rose and once again illuminated the Shenzhou Land Continent, riddled with holes.

And there was such a group of people, who fell forever at the moment before the dawn arrived.

They would never know if dawn would ever come, yet they never retreated.

It was just four words—

"For Shenzhou."

These four words are easy to say, but too heavy to bear.

The vision gradually dissipated, light and shadow surged, and all history rewound back to nothingness.

Ye Wanlan blinked lightly, feeling a burning sensation on the back of her hand.

She looked down and saw tears that she didn’t know had fallen.

Then the tears uncontrollably continued to fall, one after another, drenching her hands and also falling onto the Heart Protecting Bracelet.

This fiery heat awakened the Heart Protecting Bracelet.

"It’s awake... ah, it’s awake!" Qingyun Pendant exclaimed loudly, "Our Number Four has awakened!"

Jade Luan Pin: "..."

She would definitely not admit that she was Number Two.

Ye Wanlan calmly dried her tears with a tissue, "Heart Protecting?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess?" Heart Protecting Bracelet was shocked, unable to believe what it saw, "Is it really you, Your Royal Highness the Princess?!"

It remembered clearly that Princess Yongning had passed away in the eighteenth year of the Qianhe Period, and at that time it followed Hua Yingyue in mourning for a long time.

But why would Her Royal Highness the Princess appear here?

"It’s me." Ye Wanlan said softly, "Heart Protecting, I have returned."

Three hundred years later, she once again returned to the Shenzhou Land Continent.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess!" Heart Protecting Bracelet suddenly cried loudly, "I miss you so much, and I miss His Highness Prince Qin too, but His Highness Prince Qin, His Highness Prince Qin..."

"I know, I know everything." Ye Wanlan comforted, "Yingyue is incredible, worthy of the lineage of Prince Qin, and worthy of Shenzhou."

There’s never been any woman who was inherently weak.

The body of a daughter is not frail, and not inferior to that of sons.

Heart Protecting Bracelet sobbed, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, if only you were there at that time, how wonderful it would have been..."

"If I were there..." Hearing these words, Ye Wanlan fell silent, "If I were there, I’m afraid I would have also let you all down."

What she could do was only to protect Shenzhou as much as possible, but she could not save the lives of Shenzhou’s soldiers.

"Ah, little Heart Protecting, stop crying." Qingyun Pendant also spoke up to comfort, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has found a way, she will surely be able to bring Prince Qin back, and then you’ll be able to see each other again."

"Really?!" Heart Protecting Bracelet was still incredulous, "But His Highness Prince Qin..."

"Of course it’s true." Jade Luan Pin joined in, "Linyuan has already come back, though still different from the living, but indeed still present."

Shence Army Tiger Tally said sincerely, "I am also waiting for the general."

"We will." Ye Wanlan’s voice was very firm, "I will bring them back again, even if it’s just to let them see Shenzhou today once more."

She looked down and then asked the Heart Protecting Bracelet, "Heart Protect, do you know the whereabouts of the Qin King Whip?"

"I don’t know." The Heart Protecting Bracelet seemed startled. It tried hard to recall, "After His Highness Prince Qin departed, I knew nothing."

Ye Wanlan sighed softly.

Finding these weapons was also a difficult task.

She had encountered the Qingyun Pendant quite early on, but even now, the whereabouts of Prince Yan’s Sword were still unknown.

Ye Wanlan retraced her steps along the path she had come and met up with the program crew.

She spoke to Xing Yue, who had a plate of chicken legs in front of her, "Xing Yue, I have a very important question that I need to discuss with you."

"Speak, speak, speak." Xing Yue finished the last chicken leg, her eyes shining brightly, "What question do you want to ask me? I will leave no stone unturned in telling you all I know!"

Ye Wanlan’s voice was slow, "If you were to summon back the soul of the deceased, how long dead could the person be for you to bring back their spirit?"

"With my current power, ten days," Xing Yue scratched her head, "Beyond ten days, I would be helpless, but if aided by magic items and formations, then I could manage half a month."

Ye Wanlan then asked, "What about your master?"

"The old man?" Xing Yue thought for a moment, "The old man must be more skilled than me; he once summoned back the spirit of someone who had been dead for three months, but it also cost him a great deal of effort."

For Divination Masters, the affairs of Heaven are the hardest to predict.

Then, for Spirit Communicators, the souls of the deceased are the most unfathomable.

Everything should follow the natural laws; going against fate, one would ultimately not meet a good end.

Ye Wanlan asked each word deliberately, "If someone could summon back the soul of a person who had been dead for decades, how powerful would that person have to be?"

"What?!" Xing Yue exclaimed, her voice shooting up an octave. She could hardly believe what she heard and dug at her ears incredulously, "How many? Decades?!"

Ye Wanlan looked at her directly and nodded calmly.

"That’s impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xing Yue shouted, "Ordinary people’s spirits cannot survive long in the world once they leave the body. If someone is dead, their spirit will surely gradually dissipate. The spirit of someone dead for decades would have already returned to Heaven and Earth; how could it be summoned back?"

Ye Wanlan held her shoulder and shook her head slightly, "So, I’m asking, if there were such a person, how great would their powers be?"

Xing Yue’s pupils contracted, and her voice grew deep, "If there were, such a person’s powers could be described as ’divine.’"

"A god, huh..." Ye Wanlan’s eyes grew intense, and she smiled, "That does seem to be problematic."

"Lanlan, why are you suddenly asking this question?" Xing Yue furrowed her brows, "Did something happen?"

Ye Wanlan spoke nonchalantly, "I was just considering the possibility of deicide."

Deicide.

Those two words alone were profoundly irreverent.

But if the adversary truly were divine, for the sake of Shenzhou, she would always have to try.

"Did you recently read some cliched, passionate manga?" Xing Yue touched her chin, "Come on, there surely aren’t any gods. Here, have something warm to eat, and we’ll continue filming this afternoon."

That evening, Yan Tingfeng, having matters to tend to, sent Bing He and Tie Ma to the Eastern Wilderness ahead of him.

"Alas, Tietie, it’s nearly been a year, and we still haven’t found that wench!" Bing He lamented, his spirits low, "Although the Young Master has not asked about it in a long time, the look in his eyes the last time he inquired frightened me."

Tie Ma also felt rather despondent.

Just one person, and yet they still hadn’t found her, truly a dereliction of duty.

More so, she was the vile woman who had robbed their Young Master of his innocence!

"Miss... Miss Ye!" Bing He immediately straightened up, "The master will arrive the day after tomorrow, please wait for him."

"What person were you mentioning that you’re seeking?" Ye Wanlan asked casually, "Is it the same person you mentioned last time? Months have passed, and you still haven’t found them?"

Bing He could not recall which ’last time’ it was, and he scratched his head, "Since Miss Ye and the master are so close, it’s not a big deal to tell Miss Ye. We are looking for another wench."

"A wench?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, hearing such a word from Bing He for the first time. She nodded, "Go ahead, I can help look for her."
