Truth I

The Heavenly Light had just begun to brighten.

Outside the Great Capital city, First Squad of people quietly moved about, scattering and fleeing through various entrances and exits that were originally only for Noble.

The Spirit Person were the first to receive the news. After the three giants, including the Saint Patrol, were completely defeated, the Divine General were besieged one by one on the battlefield, and the situation deteriorated.

The Spirit Noble within the imperial city were the first to receive word and quickly fled.

The core Imperial Clan had already been completely slaughtered.

Only a handful of individuals who were still abroad escaped the disaster.

The flight of the Spirit Noble did not have a significant impact on the Great Capital. They abandoned most of their businesses and fled immediately upon receiving warnings from their own Gods and Buddhas.

This was to avoid causing a bigger commotion.

"Failed!?" Emperor Ling Xin sat in his Imperial Study, his face grim as he looked at the Fire Messenger had come to report the news.

This is not the first time that Heaven and Earth Convergence; this is the third time.

He knew very well how much it would cost to completely abolish this seemingly simple and easily overturned large-scale ceremony.

It was precisely because he understood this that he comprehended it. The possibility of the Heaven and Earth Convergence failing was extremely slim.

And now, his subordinates have arrived, only to tell him it has failed!? "I understand. You may leave. Activate the second contingency plan." Emperor Ling Xin quickly composed himself.

He naturally wouldn't believe just one person's story.

Even if that person was someone he trusted most, it wouldn't matter.

He waved for the person to leave the room.

Emperor Ling Xin thought for a moment, then took out a large dark gold seal from the drawer, bit his finger, and squeezed out a drop of blood to drip onto it.

Suddenly, on a level imperceptible to ordinary people, the great seal slowly glowed with a blue-gold halo.

Suddenly, Emperor Ling Xin's expression changed, as if he had sensed something, and he looked up at the distant sky.

Whoosh!!

A red light shot in from afar, quickly landing above the imperial city before tilting downwards to reveal Zhang Rongfang's tall figure with his wings folded.

He had now rewoven a blood-red robe, his long hair cascading down his shoulders, his face pale and cold.

'Is this the place? The place where the Spirit Flight Teaching's greatest divine power is emitted?' he asked in his mind.

"This is the place. Although I am Remnant God, my senses are still far superior to those of mortals," White Scale replied.

Zhang Rongfang nodded slightly and looked around.

He landed at the First Layer entrance of the imperial city.

The entire imperial city of Great Capital has now been artificially divided into three layers.

A strange and dangerous aura seemed to slowly permeate both inner layers.

He had originally planned to fly directly to the innermost part, but a slight sense of unease made him decide to play it safe.

"Who goes there?!" The patrolling guards on the second floor spotted him immediately, put down their spears and bows, and shouted at him.

Two skilled fighters dressed in eunuch attire approached stealthily and attacked Zhang Rongfang without saying a word.

More than ten people attacked him simultaneously with arrows, palm strikes, hidden weapons, and spears.

Zhang Rongfang didn't even look at it, and waved his hand.

Large swirling clouds of Blood Cloud and surged forth. These Blood Cloud were not mental attacks from the other experts, but rather physical entities that everyone could see.

At this moment, the Blood Cloud rushed into the crowd, and all sounds quickly ceased and completely dissipated.

The Blood Cloud parted to create a path, revealing the gate to the inner city.

Zhang Rongfang rushed forward and leaped over the high wall in a few strides.

The area inside the walls should have been the living quarters of the Imperial Clan, but it was deserted at this time.

He frowned slightly at the smell of blood. He might not be as sensitive to other scents as others, but he was extremely familiar with blood.

"Something's probably happened!" White Scale's tone turned serious.

At this point, both the Moon God and the Spirit Flight Teaching realized that dealing with Zhang Rongfang on the ground was virtually impossible. They would likely resort to other means.

Bang! A short while later, Zhang Rongfang smashed the door of the Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace with a single palm strike and strode in.

The room was completely empty, except for a Letter Paper that sat neatly on the table.

He walked over, picked it up, and took a look.

"It was left by Emperor Ling Xin to his trusted confidants. It seems he is the individual with the strongest aura of Spirit Flight Heaven that you mentioned." Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.

"Without the Spirit Flight Teaching's Great Array to conceal them, all the lurkers in the Great Ling Realm who are connected to the Spirit Flight Teaching will inevitably be unable to hide," White Scale said.

'The main problem for Spirit Flight Teaching to be completely eradicated is its large number of followers. A solution must be found.'

Although Zhang Rongfang had the idea of Spirit Transformation, he immediately encountered the biggest problem when he tried to put it into practice.

The existence of Gods and Buddhas is a memory.

Those at the Extreme Realm of the Reverse Time Society refuse to become anchors for Gods and Buddhas through frequent forgetting.

But it's different for ordinary people.

"The root of it all is still in Great Abyss," White Scale said in a deep voice. "Didn't you hear what the Moon God said before? Spirit Flight Heaven's headquarters is very likely located deep within Great Abyss."

'Great Abyss.'

Bang!

At the same time, the window on the other side of the Imperial Study was smashed open by tremendous force.

A series of blurry figures suddenly rushed into the room and landed on the ground.

The person at the head had long, flowing black hair and a purple crystalline prosthetic eye. He was tall and well-proportioned, and it was impossible to tell that he could unleash such incredible speed just now.

However, in Zhang Rongfang's perception, this person's qi and blood were the most active.

He squinted slightly, able to clearly sense the massive, viscous blood, like mercury, slowly flowing through the Human Blood.

Each heartbeat of the other person felt like a heavy blow to a war drum at close range. A profound and awe-inspiring experience.

Although it was their first meeting, the moment Zhang Rongfang saw this man, he felt as if he were facing Yue Dewen at his peak.

Besides this person, there were two other figures. They were both acquaintances.

Fan Heng, dressed as an old farmer.

Another one, Sky Roc Hunting Tiger, was wearing a tiger skin and looked completely bewildered.

"When I saw the red light fall to the ground, I guessed it might be you. So I came here without hesitation."

The purple-eyed man had a gentle and refined demeanor, like a graceful young gentleman, but his face had a stiff, lifeless look.

"Hunter Tiger, Fan Heng, these two seniors. And who is this?" Zhang Rongfang looked at the purple-eyed man in the lead.

He could guess that the other party was a member of the Reverse Time Society, and judging from the leader's position, a figure immediately flashed through his mind.

"The Society Master??" he asked.

"Young friend, you are truly intelligent." The purple-eyed man laughed. He had no idea how the other had descended from the sky and landed in the imperial city.

But that didn't stop him from coming directly to the other side.

In essence, the Reverse Time Society and the Human Immortal Temple have a very close relationship. The Reverse Time Society even helped Zhang Rongfang, the Human Immortal Ancestor, on several occasions.

"My name Meng Qian. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please call me Uncle Meng," the purple-eyed man said with a smile.

His voice was clearly tinged with laughter, but his stiff face showed no sign of a smile, creating a strange and inexplicable contrast.

"Saint Emperor Meng Qian!?" Zhang Rongfang's heart skipped a beat.

The legendary number one in the Extreme Realm, he has always been elusive and rarely seen Upper Capital history.

Unexpectedly, this person is still alive and is even the Society Master of the Reverse Time Society.

Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

"Since you've come all this way, young friend, you must know quite a bit about the inside story. It seems our goals are the same." Meng Qian had known for a long time that Zhang Rongfang's bloodline was incompatible with the God-worshiping line, making them natural allies who were born to stand on the opposite side of gods and Buddhas.

So there's nothing to hide at this point.

With Zhang Rongfang's involvement, their grand plan will undoubtedly proceed more smoothly in the future.

"Uncle Meng's purpose?" Zhang Rongfang asked thoughtfully. The main purpose of his trip was to restore Master Yue's integrity.

Then comes the purification of heaven and earth, and the purification of all Gods and Buddhas, restoring order to the world.

"Gods and Buddhas are high above, and many years ago, they were defeated by us, the Sky Light Wielder. So the two sides negotiated and agreed to establish the vast Great Ling Dynasty," Meng Qian said with a melancholy tone.

"Later, the Sky Light Wielder grew weaker with each generation, their bloodlines diluted, and they could no longer contend with the increasingly powerful Gods and Buddhas Spirit Flight Heaven."

The balance can only be maintained by means of agreements.

Then, the balance shattered, the Ling Emperor passed away, and now, Spirit Flight Heaven is reaping the harvest of all spirits, having already completed the cycle for the third time.

"What is the identity of Emperor Ling Xin?" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice.

"Divine Child," Meng Qian replied in a deep voice, "We have only just discovered the truth. Emperor Ling Xin is actually the hidden Divine Child of the Spirit Flight Teaching. That's why we came straight here to find the Spirit Flight Teaching's earthly temple."

'The Spirit Flight Teaching has no earthly temples.'

Suddenly, a deep voice, louder than the two of them, slowly drifted in from outside the door.

Through the broken gate, a tall, imposing old monk in a black robe, his arms clad in exquisite dark gold armor, slowly entered.

"This humble monk Damir greets Benefactor Qiankun Zi."

Zhang Rongfang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was once again filled with dread.

Damir? The Imperial Tutor!? This seemingly unremarkable old monk? Or is it just a coincidence of the same name? At this critical juncture Heaven and Earth Convergence, what a coincidence, so many legendary figures have appeared?

He suppressed his doubts, wondering what it meant for these people to have gathered here together.

"Fellow benefactors, although we do not know the reason, the Heaven and Earth Convergence has failed. Now, the first test has been passed ahead of schedule, and the greatest challenge is yet to come."

Damir's voice was deep, giving people a rare sense of reliability.

Apart from that, he showed no unusual qualities, no air of a master; from his appearance alone, he was just an ordinary old monk.

"The first hurdle?" Zhang Rongfang didn't understand.

"Young friend and I have the same goal from the beginning. There's no harm in saying it." Meng Qian seemed perfectly normal, and his tone was very amiable.

He doesn't look like the king of mental illness at all.

Damir fell silent for a moment.

"Young friend, have you ever heard of the name Great Abyss?"

"You mean, the Void of Spirit Flight Heaven?!" Zhang Rongfang instantly understood that these people had planned to go to the Void of Spirit Flight Heaven long ago to eliminate future troubles!

"Exactly!" Damir nodded. He hadn't expected Zhang Rongfang to understand so quickly.

Their goal was indeed to completely sever the connection between Spirit Flight Heaven Void and the mortal realm.

Everything, all connected.

Meng Qian stood to the side and gently clapped her hands.

"Now that the divine child is missing, the Heaven and Earth Convergence has failed, and there is no resistance, all we need to do next is to eliminate all the believers who have witnessed Spirit Flight Heaven, and we will be able to accomplish our great task!"

"But there are just too many of them. The hardest part is dealing with their counterattack," Damir nodded.

"How do we do it?!" Zhang Rongfang asked quickly.

"We found the Great Abyss Gate belonging to Spirit Flight Heaven long ago!" Meng Qian replied.

"Really!?" Zhang Rongfang's eyes widened.

"Of course it is true," Meng Qian a gentle smile.

He never expected that everything would come so easily; the fierce resistance he had anticipated was completely nonexistent.

Perhaps, from this moment on, there will never be another Heaven and Earth Convergence!

In the future, perhaps it will truly be the human era they have been dreaming of!
