Deathly silence.
Black Robe stood above the stone steps, looking down on the crowd like a god looking over all living beings.
Some people did not understand the conversation from just now, and even more were perplexed by Black Robe's final statement.
Sensing the oppressive mood, Linghai Zhiwang and the others guessed that the situation seemed to have reversed, or even fallen under Black Robe's control, so they nervously looked to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng's face was rather pale. He had already understood what Black Robe meant. ”Sacred Light?”
Black Robe replied, ”Correct.”
The wind stirred.
The young Daoist boy fell into Ye Xiaolian's chest.
Xu Yourong's hand fell on Chen Changsheng's shoulder.
Her wings of pure white were already unfurled.
A streak of fire would soon tear through the night sky.
She would bring Chen Changsheng as far away as she could possibly could in this brief moment of time.
She had also understood what Black Robe meant.
”It's too late.”
Black Robe took a step forward.
The robe raised dust, in which one could see an invisible, transparent, and extremely thin string.
This string extended from the dark demon flames all the way to Chen Changsheng's body, where it was tied to his ankle.
”You have exchanged letters with His Majesty for many years, so you should know that the demon flames are Celestial Fire. They are of the same type as Sacred Light, but even hotter, though they do not show this in their appearance.”
Black Robe gazed at him and said, ”In a little while, the demon flames will ignite the Sacred Light in your body…”
Before she could finish speaking, a clattering filled the hall.
It was the sound of ice crystals falling to the floor.
The frosty air along the string gradually retreated as Zhizhi roared, ”What vile thing is this!”
The crowd was also shocked. Not even the breath of the Black Frost Dragon could extinguish it!
Black Robe ignored her, asking, ”You might become a torch? I don't know, as I've only theorized it, but the sight should be very beautiful.”
Chen Changsheng thought it over and replied, ”I don't know if it will be beautiful, but it should be very bright.”
”It won't just be bright. The Sacred Light came from that continent, and the two share an invisible connection.”
Black Robe continued, ”His Majesty is correct. The stars move, and the Sacred Light Continent and the Central Continent are also moving. Separated by the vast sea of stars, it's very difficult for either side to be sure of the other's position. If a path were forcefully opened, those descending beings would easily go astray and become forever lost in the infinite void. But as long as the Sacred Light in your body is ignited, the Sacred Light Continent will always be able to be sure of our position over any distance, thus allowing them to open a path. In other words, you are an incomparably bright lighthouse.”
'Lighthouse' was a very warm and soothing term, but here it was cold and despair-inducing.
”It seems that you've been planning this for many years.”
Chen Changsheng looked down at his feet, where the crumbling snowflakes had revealed that invisible string of fire.
”Back then, it was me who sent over Chen Xuanba's blood. Your birth was a result of a transaction, and I was one of the three parties taking part in it.”
Black Robe turned to that small carriage and said, ”Your master was another party, though he had no idea what I wanted to do.”
Shang Xingzhou wanted to turn Chen Changsheng into a tempting poisoned fruit.
Anyone would want to eat him.
But anyone who ate him would be poisoned to death or eat themselves to death.
If the Tianhai Divine Empress did not eat Chen Changsheng, Shang Xingzhou could still attempt to use Chen Changsheng to invite down a divine judgment to kill Tianhai.
But now, it seemed like the divine judgment was probably just the Astral Executioner, that pillar of light piercing through the sea of stars.
When the Demon Lord killed his father, he had no idea that the most important use of this divine artifact was communicating between the two continents.
To put it another way, Chen Changsheng was a different form of the Astral Executioner.
Xu Yourong suddenly asked, ”You've never been to the Sacred Light Continent, so how did you make an agreement with them?”
Black Robe replied, ”I am only offering a possibility. If the Sacred Light Continent's god is truly omniscient and omnipotent, how could it miss out on this chance?”
Chen Changsheng asked, ”Why do you so loathe the Human race?”
It was no longer a secret that the Demon Military Advisor Black Robe was a human.
