"Heavenly Dao had fifty; the Great Evolution had forty-nine! Forty-nine was the ultimate limit of the Heavenly Dao! Whenever the Heavenly Dao was about to perish, it would inevitably undergo forty-nine layers of tribulation!" Lin Su said. "The War Saint saw through this hidden mystery and traveled far into foreign realms to seek a way to break it. That was why the War Saint had not entered the Third Heaven for a thousand years."
Li Zexi's entire body shuddered...
Lin Su's words were certainly profound and unfathomable, yet they were not enough to shake him. But if this judgment had come from the War Saint, who would dare dismiss it lightly?
"Grand Undertaking for Ages, Grand Undertaking for Ages..." Li Zexi murmured. "If this great calamity truly is the final chapter of the Heavenly Dao, then... then what can be done? When the Heavenly Dao collapses, the Saintly Dao perishes. Even Saints are but dust beneath the Heavenly Dao. Who could possibly safeguard the Dao? Who would even be qualified to safeguard it?"
Lin Su lifted his teacup. "A thousand years ago, the Black Bone Demon Race ravaged Great Cang. Great Cang's sects said that the great mansion was about to collapse and no one could safeguard the Dao, yet the Sword Sect did. A thousand years later, the Black Bone Demon Race ravaged the land again. Of Great Cang's forty prefectures, thirty-nine fell. The world said no one could safeguard the Dao, yet it was still the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect emerged from nowhere once more and safeguarded Great Cang! Senior, the Sword Sect has already been destroyed, leaving not even bones behind! In this age, only two people still bear the mark left behind by that sect: one is you, and the other is me!"
Ripples shimmered
