Chapter 2909: Chapter 2929: Everyone Can Be a Hero, How Can We Judge the Future by the Present?

The Immortal Demon passage permanently open?

Doesn’t that mean that the war between the Demon World and the Immortal Realm will expand without limits, not stopping until death?

This isn’t just a battle between the Human Clan of the Barren Wilderness and the demon race, this is a conflict between two realms, one that will determine the fate of countless immortals and even more ordinary members of the Human Clan!

If the Immortal Realm falls and the demon race occupies it, then the immortals will become targets for slaughter—either to submit or to die, and ordinary humans will be even worse off, becoming the lowest of the low, slaves to the demon race.

Lin Chen contemplated the potential situation, and his mood became extraordinarily heavy.

Suddenly, Lin Chen snapped back to reality and wondered, why would Shepherd Heavenly Monarch tell me such critical information?

Who am I?

Just a Daluo Ultimate Immortal with mediocre strength, is it necessary to tell me something so important?

Lin Chen candidly voiced the doubts in his mind, "Hall Master, why would you tell me... such a trivial character about something so important?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch smiled and said, "Times create heroes, and under the waves of an era, everyone is a trivial character, but each person might also become a hero. How can we judge the future by the present?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch gazed at Lin Chen, "Do you believe in destiny?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Profound and yet more profound, I believe it exists, but I can’t explain why."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch chuckled, "By chance, you unlocked the Sword Talisman suppressing Chi Zai, which led to our meeting. Tell me, had I not invited you to the Crimson Immortal Domain that day, would you have come here, would you have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, or rather, would you have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain at exactly the right time?"

Lin Chen answered truthfully, "I got into some trouble in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, so I fled to the Crimson Immortal Domain for refuge. If it weren’t for the Hall Master’s past invitation, I might have gone to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, but it would have been later, definitely missing the moment the demon race established the Teleportation Formation..."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Hall Master, it is said that you are proficient in divination and foreseeing the future, could it be that you foresaw all this?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch shook his head, "If I could have foreseen the demon race’s appearance in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, why would I wait for you to stumble upon it? I would have notified the Book Sea Pavilion long ago to be fully prepared, to directly lie in wait and capture them all at once."

"Be it divination or predicting the future, what is seen are just scattered fragments. With good luck, these fragments might let you confirm something, with bad luck, you gain nothing, only some mysterious sensations."

"When suppressing Chi Zai, I cast a divination and vaguely knew that the one to release Chi Zai’s suppression would be a person fated to be related to the grand Immortal Demon war, but exactly how they would be fated, that I did not know."

"Even after meeting you, I cast another divination and the result was still unclear, but it reaffirmed one thing, that your future has a connection with this place."

"Whether this connection is inevitable, supposed to be, or a change in destiny, I’m not sure. I just felt that since the divination showed this, why not just wait and see what happens? And then, years later, you stumbled upon the Demon Race’s smuggling plan in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, saving the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain and the lives of countless residents of the Immortal Realm."

"Perhaps, this is destiny. You, me, we are all beneath the heavens’ mandate."

Lin Chen fell silent for a few seconds, "Is there no one who can see through destiny, who can rise above it? Can not even the Immortal Emperor do it?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch laughed, "Destiny always exists, even Saints cannot evade it, but Saints have the power to understand destiny, even change it, though that’s not something we Quasi-Saints can do."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "There have been twenty-seven battles between immortals and demons, the Demon Race must have Saints, right? Haven’t the Saints ever intervened, hasn’t the Immortal Emperor ever participated?"

"Of course they have, more than once."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch replied, "Soldiers have their own opponents, generals have theirs, and commanders have theirs. The Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor have clashed many times in Outer Heaven, without a decisive outcome. Otherwise, this battle at the Immortal Demon Channel would have ceased long ago."

Lin Chen blinked, "Outer Heaven?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch smiled, "With a wave of a Saint’s hand, they can destroy heavens and earth, collapse continents. If they fought in this Crimson Immortal Domain, wouldn’t that cause the entire Immortal Domain to collapse?"

"Powerful immortals might be able to escape from such disasters and flee to another Immortal Domain, but what about the countless ordinary members of the Human Clan in the Crimson Immortal Domain? Wouldn’t they all be annihilated?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Isn’t the Demon Race intent on conquering the Crimson Immortal Domain? Why doesn’t the Demon Emperor just set the battlefield here in the Crimson Immortal Domain?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch answered calmly, "With the Immortal Demon Channel opened, the Demon Emperor can wreak havoc in the Crimson Immortal Domain and the Immortal Emperor can similarly go to the Demon World. Both could destroy and slaughter rampantly, yet it would bring no benefit, only pushing matters to an even more extreme end."

"When the Demon Race attacks the Immortal Realm, what they desire are the resources, the complete occupation, not total annihilation..."
