Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl
Chapter 922: I Am the Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 922: Chapter 922: I Am the Mandate of Heaven

Two words suddenly rang out, falling clearly into everyone’s ears.

The voice seemed to be whispered directly into the ear, yet also echoed straight in the mind of those present, heard with absolute clarity by every individual.

"Blessing and protection?" The voice asked coldly, carrying an innate authority, "The child of sin ruling Cangyuan, do you intend to bury the entire Cangyuan with you?!"

This statement exploded like a clap of thunder, leaving everyone present speechless and silent.

Lancelot’s expression turned tense, his fingers already reaching for the laser gun at his waist.

Only Ye Wanlan’s expression remained unchanged, her eyes betraying no emotion, as if she had anticipated it all along.

The Cangyuan Great Priest had still come.

"Swish——"

A figure draped in pure white appeared above the altar, coldly overlooking the girl standing in front of the altar, his face shrouded with rage.

He knew that Ye Wanlan was able to open the altar using Shenzhou Taoism Technique, but that did not mean Ye Wanlan could tarnish his reputation!

Fortunately, he wasn’t late, otherwise, if Ye Wanlan had completed this heavenly ritual, his prestige in Cangyuan would have significantly diminished.

The crowd became agitated and shouted in excitement.

"Great Priest! It’s the Great Priest!"

"Lord Priest has actually come out!"

"It must be the Great Priest, only the Great Priest has such dignity, and we ordinary people cannot perceive his true appearance."

"Why does the Great Priest prevent His Majesty from opening the altar? Could it be..."

"Heavenly Dao has long informed me that this girl is a demon," the Great Priest said indifferently, "Wherever she goes, disaster follows."

Everyone was in uproar.

Oleg looked at the Great Priest with suspicion and uncertainty, and after a few seconds, he spoke: "Could it be that the Great Priest misheard?"

"Oleg, even you doubt me now?" The Great Priest frowned, speaking coldly, "I thought you were the wisest one."

Oleg fell silent.

He was an elder of Cangyuan Country, having lived for thousands of years, and had met the Cangyuan Great Priest several times, knowing that his prophecies never failed.

If the Great Priest said Ye Wanlan was a demon, then it should be true.

But why did he even rebuke Ye Wanlan?

"The demon should be dealt with immediately; otherwise, it will provoke Heavenly Dao’s wrath, bringing calamity upon Cangyuan, costing countless lives!" The Great Priest faced downward, saying slowly, "I am the mandate of heaven, and today I shall act on behalf of heaven to eradicate this beast!"

The Great Priest’s image was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Cangyuan people, and his authority wasn’t easily shaken overnight.

Compared to an Empress who had just ascended the throne, naturally, the Great Priest, who had devoted thousands of years of effort to Cangyuan, was more worthy of trust.

At this moment, ninety-nine percent of the people unhesitatingly chose to believe him.

"Good! With Lord Priest present, the demon will have nowhere to hide!"

"I told you, how could she as a woman ascend as Emperor? It turns out she’s a demon, surely bewitching people’s hearts!"

"Kill her! Kill her! Avenge Beirut Majesty!"

The crowd was incensed, and the Great Priest nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied.

"You old fox, stop spouting such nonsense and inciting panic!" At this moment, Lancelot finally couldn’t hold back and leapt out, "Old fox, you’ve been secluded for over forty years, ignoring world affairs, only deceiving us with flashy tricks. Don’t even think about it!"

The Great Priest merely snorted faintly at his words: "Lancelot Austin, if not for me telling Beirut that you were the last descendant of the Cangming Royal Family, needing to survive, you would have been dead long ago."

"Old fox, if you have the guts, kill me! Who’s afraid of whom?" Lancelot’s gaze was cold, "If you dare touch Her Majesty, I’ll dare to defy you!"

"Such boldness, such ambition, such courage." The Great Priest clapped his hands with a smile, "But Lancelot, regardless of whether you oppose me or not, you will not affect me in any way, because you were never my opponent, nor do you have the ability."

"Snap!"

He raised his hand, snapping his fingers, a gesture relaxed and casual.

Suddenly, Lancelot found himself unable to move, as if a force was pressing against his heart and lungs, making breathing extremely difficult.

If he so much as struggled slightly, it felt as if countless Silver Needles pierced into his organs and limbs, like a thousand worms gnawing at him, a pain like his heart being drilled.

Clenching his teeth, Lancelot’s lips were already bleeding.

Wasn’t the Emperor’s Order destroyed?

How was he still trapped?

"Oh heaven, even Lord Commander is immobilized at a point by Lord Priest, the Priest’s power is indeed unfathomable."

"Because the Great Priest represents the True God! He can naturally punish anyone who errs."

"Having used the power of the Divine Bloodline, you must also pay the corresponding price." The Great Priest shook his head, speaking in a voice only the two could hear, "However, since you’re the only child of the Austin Family, I won’t kill you."

Lancelot’s expression was grim: "Old swine, you dare—"

The Great Priest ignored him, refocusing on Ye Wanlan, speaking with a calmness, "I must admit, you really exceeded my expectations; you haven’t taken a single step down the path I arranged for you."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes darkened slightly.

"I can’t wait for the Time Administration Bureau to send a higher-level official to deal with you, allowing you a few more days of life." The Great Priest landed on the ground, his gaze turning more fierce, "If you were to kill another Time Judge, absorbing the power from their body, I’m afraid even I wouldn’t be able to deal with you."

This sentence was only audible to Ye Wanlan.

Ye Wanlan remained fearless and said calmly, "So, as I suspected, you’re a creature sent by the Time Administration Bureau to Atlantis."

"To you, I am a higher-dimensional being." The Great Priest’s eyebrows bore a trace of mockery, "Dwelling in this world, you will never know how vast and magnificent the real world is, but there’s no need for you to know."

"Bang!"

A burst of explosive sound suddenly permeated the air, and following the sound, the Great Priest was already standing before Ye Wanlan.

His movements were incredibly swift, his fingers already clasped around the girl’s neck without anyone realizing when it had happened.

"No, perhaps I should call you Xiang Lan instead." The Great Priest sneered, "You should know you bear the entire Ning Dynasty’s national fate upon you. Once you die, Ning’s fate will end, only lasting another six years."

Ye Wanlan didn’t speak, her gaze icy, with blood seeping from her neck, striking and chilling to the eyes.

"So many people have died, your brother, your friends, your people..." The Great Priest’s smile was cruel, "Guess how many more will die in Shenzhou once you’re gone?"

"Old swine!" Suddenly, a shout erupted, "You dare harm my disciple; you’ve lived too long!"
