"I once tried to find a way to save Emperor Yassin, after all, he is a martial artist I truly admire. He was able to defeat God Level while only at the Blazing Sun Rank Great Perfection. His martial arts talent is something even I am not as good as. Although we fought dozens of battles, he is the only one I can truly call a friend." Messi sighed, "Unfortunately, Yassin rejected all the almost flawless methods I came up with."
Sun Fei asked in surprise, "You refused?"
Messi nodded seriously. "That's right, he refused. To protect the Key, he was determined to die... You're a smart man; you should be able to guess why he did that."
Sun Fei remained silent for a moment, but soon figured out the key point.
Emperor Yassin was truly a remarkable figure, a once-in-a-millennium emperor. Even the Continent Martial Saint Maradona seems to pale in comparison to him.
There was only one reason why he was determined to die.
That was to protect what Messi called the Key.
According to previous speculation, Emperor Yassin has Demon Clan blood flowing through his veins, inheriting the will and responsibility left over from the era of gods and demons to protect this secret treasure that concerns the fate of the continent. He has already sensed that there are remnants of the [ Defiler ] active on the continent, and their power has become uncontrollable.
To make matters worse, this dark force had already detected the existence of the Key and even figured out Key location, so it launched a war against the Zenit Empire.
If Emperor Yassin had chosen to flee, this force would have relentlessly pursued him.
The Zenit Empire's power is insufficient to Resist the Church, which is controlled by the dark forces. Although Yassin is exceptionally strong, he cannot truly ensure the safety of the Key amidst the presence of numerous experts. If it falls into the hands of the dark forces, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, he adopted a strategy of escaping unscathed.
He had secretly entrusted the Key to Messi, whom he considered absolutely trustworthy, for safekeeping.
Given Messi's special status, the Church would never suspect Messi.
Then, Emperor Yassin used the Zenit Empire and his own death to cover everything up.
Once Emperor Yassin died and the Zenit Empire was conquered, the dark forces were unable to find the Key in Saint Petersburg and on Yassin's person, thus losing their trail and being unable to continue their investigation.
Sun Fei sighed.
To protect the secret, hundreds of millions of NIT's citizens lay dead in the wilderness, becoming victims of the Barcelona people's blades. And Emperor Yassin himself died at the hands of Messi, under the watchful eyes of Busquets, Alves, Pedro, and the Church's hidden experts.
This was a horrific scene.
It's impossible to criticize Yassin for his ruthlessness in sacrificing hundreds of millions of Zenit's people to protect the secret. Perhaps in his view, as long as he protected the Key and preserved this treasure that could influence the fate of the continent, paying this price was entirely worthwhile.
Even his beloved second son, Dominguez, died in this brutal upheaval.
"Before he died, he laughed heartily, believing that one day you would avenge him. Now it seems his trust in you was not misplaced. Perhaps even he didn't expect you to rise to such an invincible position, dominating the continent today." Messi smiled and said, "Although Yassin is dead, as he always said, ' Yassin's life was one where he was second to none.' Even in death, he had planned everything. Your strength today proves that the price he paid was worthwhile."
Sun Fei didn't know what to say.
Sun Fei's feelings towards this man, who was only proven to be his father after his death, were always those of an admiration for a truly virtuous and wise man. If there was any father-son affection, it was only a tiny bit, and that was because when he was comprehending the Dao in the [ Forgotten Land ], the power of Emperor Yassin's Imperial Dao Power of Faith surged in and became a part of his own power, which was the enlightenment and inheritance he received.
After all, Sun Fei's soul was that of a time traveler.
The real Alexander has vanished into the world.
If it were about Vengeance, Sun Fei had considered it as well.
He even considered wiping out all the former Platini and Blatter clergy in the Barcelona Empire and the Church overnight, but considering the Insect Race that would descend in ten days, Sun Fei suppressed his killing intent and tried to kill only the ringleaders.
I never imagined that a conversation with Messi today would reveal such a shocking secret.
"Later, you made a powerful return from the [ Land of Exile ]. Although the Church repeatedly made arrangements targeting you and Chambord City, they all failed each time. They have gradually become unable to resist you. It seems that the appearance of the gnomes and Platini's arrival in the Southern Region were all for this matter. As for me, because I kept the Key, I have always kept a low profile. Before I could fully assess the situation, I decided to remain hidden during the three-way talks at Meazza that day to see if the Church had been completely Cleansing as Stábile had said. Fortunately, you now have everything under control."
As Messi spoke, he opened his palm, and a golden light slowly emerged from the lines of his palm. He said, "This is the Key. Now it's yours, because you have already taken control of the entire continent."
The golden light slowly approached Sun Fei and landed in his palm.
This golden light was not a tangible substance, but rather an extremely strange power that was condensed and did not dissipate. It contained a power that made even Sun Fei's heart pound. It contained a vast amount of information, but fortunately it was extremely gentle and not aggressive. Otherwise, Sun Fei would probably not have been able to withstand a single blow from this power.
"This is... a power mark that surpasses the level of Main God." Sun Fei was deeply shocked. "Could it be... a gift from the God of Creation at the very beginning?"
The only power surpassing that of the Main God is that of the legendary god.
"Besides this Key, I have some good news to tell you..." Messi said with a smile, " Emperor Yassin has also prepared a gift for you. Use this Key to unlock the illusion of the Endless Abyss abyss, where there is a prehistoric divine island. He has prepared a million-strong army and two peerless generals who can be completely trusted for you there."
Two days later.
On this beautiful and mysterious island, Sun Fei saw the million-strong Zenit army that had vanished long ago.
When Saint Petersburg fell, Emperor Yassin and his second son died in battle. However, the eldest prince Arshavin, who had been in charge of training new recruits and controlled more than 70 percent of the country's army, and the eldest princess mysteriously disappeared along with nearly a million troops, and were never heard from again.
Unexpectedly, they actually appeared here.
"Father foresaw this day long ago." The eldest princess looked at Sun Fei, her expression complex, and quietly said, "Father once said that in the battle against the [ Defiler ], we absolutely cannot choose the battlefield on the Azeroth Continent, otherwise defeat is inevitable."
"If we can't stay in the Azeroth Continent... then where should we go? Could it be..." Sun Fei thought of something.
The eldest prince nodded firmly. "Indeed, we must take the initiative, ambush them halfway through their journey in the starry sky, and destroy... or defeat them before the [ Defiler ] descend upon the continent."
