Chapter 898: Chapter 450: Holy City Theater!

Wu Di’s words were by no means alarmist.

The most terrifying aspect of the Wraith Kingdom was its ability to resurrect fallen human warriors. Even though humans had devised many plans against this specific threat, resorting to the mage brigade to destroy bodies when necessary, it was not always entirely possible. Those deceased warriors, especially the high-rank powerhouses, could potentially become part of the enemy’s strength. This was the scariest part; if a situation arose where one diminished and the other grew stronger, humanity truly faced the risk of extinction. Wraith entities could grow in strength like a rolling snowball. This was also why the Temple Federation decided so swiftly to launch a full-scale war.

"This war might even be more critical than the one we faced against the demon tribe ten millennia ago. Back when we faced the demon tribe, we could ultimately hold defensively, giving humanity a respite and eventually awaiting the arrival of powerhouses like President Long, who led humanity to counterattack and ultimately defeat the demon tribe. However, wraiths are pervasive—they won’t afford us such time. Therefore, we must bring this fight to a decisive end," he said.

"That day, when you activated the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, it had a significant impact on the Sacred Legate. Because it showed everyone another possibility. We all believe that if the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex finds a successor once more, then the Wraith Kingdom will no longer pose a threat. This is also why the Knights Temple and Magic Temple are supporting you with all their might. So, whether as a member of the Sacred Legate or as your teacher, I must remind you that, no matter when, you must cherish your life because your life has long ceased to belong only to you but to all of humanity. You must stay alive, teacher also looks forward to seeing the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex with a new master," he said.

"Teacher, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take risks anymore, for humanity’s sake as well as for myself and my family," Long Dangdang earnestly replied.

"Good, go then. Contact me immediately if anything arises. Two-thirds of the Sacred Legate are now at the frontlines, and I plan to head over in a few days. If anything comes up, contact me immediately through the Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal."

"Yes, Teacher."

After saying goodbye to Wu Di, Long Dangdang returned to the Knights Temple special training base. These days, everyone continued to cultivate here or went to their respective Temples to learn. Since Long Dangdang’s return, there had been varying degrees of improvement in everyone’s strength over the past six months.

There was no need to mention Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu; they had both reached the 8th Rank. Wang Changxin and Yue Li were now at the Peak 7th Rank. Tao Linlin, benefiting from the evolutionary talents brought by the Golden Demon Suppression Tree, was progressing quickly in cultivation and was now a step away from reaching the Peak 7th Rank. Ming Xi remained the weakest in terms of cultivation, but perhaps because she was part of Long Dangdang’s team, the Assassins Temple, after testing Long Dangdang with the Divine Lightning, provided Ming Xi with more resources. Her progress during this period was swift, and she had broken through to Level 5 of the 7th Rank.

"I’ve already collected the mission; shall we set off tomorrow?" Ling Menglu asked Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang nodded, "Everyone take a rest tonight, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning."

"Alright. Dangdang, we’re going to the frontlines tomorrow, why don’t we all rest tonight? Let’s relax," Ling Menglu suggested.

Long Dangdang was stunned for a moment. In this period, he had been constantly busy and living every day to the fullest, his companions following a similar pace. Hearing Ling Menglu’s suggestion made him suddenly realize that it might indeed be time to give everyone a break.

"Alright. It’s time to let everyone rest," Long Dangdang agreed immediately.

"Then, will you come with me to a place tonight?" Ling Menglu asked him, her eyes seemingly twinkling with light.

Seeing the light in her eyes, Long Dangdang’s heart ached inexplicably, but after a brief pause, he nodded to her.

"Great. I’ll go tell everyone, and then we can head out," she said. After speaking, she stepped forward, hugged him tightly, and then turned to inform their companions.

Half an hour later, Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu were strolling through the streets of Holy City.

Holy City was as bustling as ever, with the streets crowded with traffic. It was still afternoon, some time away from dinner.

Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu walked hand in hand, both wearing the magic cloaks characteristic of mages, which covered most of their faces. Long Dangdang was a little less conspicuous, but Ling Menglu, being the Divine Maiden of the Priests Temple, was too prominent, with both her appearance and her sacred aura attracting attention.

"News about the Wraith Kingdom is being gradually communicated to the populace, accelerating the promotion of cremation. The acceptance among the public is still quite low, so the Federation can only implement it step by step. But for professionists, cremation is mandatory after death, and legislation has been enacted in this regard," Ling Menglu explained softly as they walked.

Long Dangdang remarked, "What a wonderful scene of peace! One does not know the value of peace until there is no war. I truly hope it can always stay like this. Menglu, where are you taking me?"

"To fulfill the duties of a boyfriend," Ling Menglu giggled.

"Huh?" Long Dangdang was surprised and glanced at her in bewilderment.

Ling Menglu rolled her eyes at him, "Just come with me. Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s not that good of a deal."

Long Dangdang blinked, "Am I thinking too crookedly? If you didn’t say that, my thoughts wouldn’t have even gone astray."

Under the lead of Ling Menglu, the two of them arrived in front of a building which looked very exquisite.

"Holy City Theater?" Long Dangdang looked at the sign hanging above and couldn’t help but feel a little startled.

"Yep, accompany me to watch a play today. This place is known as one of the best dating spots in the Holy City. You’ve never brought me here before," Ling Menglu huffed.

Long Dangdang was a bit embarrassed, "Ahem, I’m not familiar with the Holy City! Besides, you are the older sister, you should be the one bringing me, and you never brought me here."

Ling Menglu was frustrated and pinched his waist, "Turning the tables on me, huh? Go buy the tickets. Then we’ll buy some snacks, and we can watch the play and eat snacks as our dinner."

Seeing her somewhat excited manner, Long Dangdang couldn’t help but smile. This kind of life that ordinary people live, they indeed hadn’t experienced it for a very long time.

After buying tickets for the couple’s seats, they went to a nearby shop and bought a pile of snacks. With some time left before the start, Long Dangdang, holding the tickets, said, "Today’s play seems to be about the last battle against the demon tribe, right?"

Ling Menglu nodded and replied, "That’s right. It’s about President Long’s glory. Didn’t you trigger the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex? This is a good opportunity to witness that historical glory. The light and shadow effects of the Holy City Theater are very good. They present the splendid scenes from back then very realistically."

Long Dangdang said, "Sounds great!"

The two of them strolled around outside, ate the Holy City’s special icy milk cake, and like any typical couple, entered the Holy City Theater ahead of time.

The interior space of the Holy City Theater was even larger than expected. The couple’s seats were located towards the back; in reality, it was a double sofa with a half-enclosed partition. Except for the direction facing the main stage in front, all other directions were obscured.

Sitting down on the sofa, Long Dangdang naturally held Ling Menglu’s hand, while her gaze was fixed in the direction of the stage. However, from her slightly sweaty palms and the blush on her delicate side profile, it was evident that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

After arranging the snacks on the table, Long Dangdang slightly swept with his spiritual power and could feel that the theater was already about sixty to seventy percent full. The tickets for the Holy City Theater were not cheap, but it seemed that the business was still quite booming. Most of the audience that came to watch the play were young people, primarily couples.

Stealing a glance at Ling Menglu, Long Dangdang couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. Indeed, since he pursued her, he had never taken her out on a date. Most of their time together was spent in cultivation.

Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, Long Dangdang felt his heart settle down at that moment.

Let’s enjoy this rare moment today. No matter what happens tomorrow, at least this moment will be happy and relaxing. At least for now, they both were alive and well, able to experience the beauty of this world together.

Gradually, the lights in the theater dimmed, signaling the start of the performance.

Soon, Long Dangdang felt the fluctuations of elements. To present that grand battle from the past, the assistance of mages was indispensable.

On the vast stage, beams of light soon appeared, which was the presentation of a tall human city wall with many figures vaguely visible on it. The next instant, all the lights dimmed suddenly, and a deep, resounding dragon chant roared into being, bringing with it an invisible oppressive force from the sky that made everyone look upward involuntarily.

Only then did they see, at the top of the theater, a giant dragon emitting deep purple light had appeared at some unknown time. That oppressive force originated from it, and with the thunderous dragon chanting, the entire theater seemed to have been transported back to that historical battle.

"The Demon God Emperor, it’s the Demon God Emperor. The leader of the heaven-defying magic dragon tribe," shouted someone from the audience, resulting in a constant stream of exclamations within the venue.

As a true dragon knight, Long Dangdang could sense that the dragon in the air was merely a prop, yet he still involuntarily felt as if he were right in the midst of the scene.

Perhaps because the lights had already dimmed, Ling Menglu had silently nestled into his embrace without him noticing.
