Chapter 472: A letter coming from the frontlines (I) (2/2)
Yang Haohan let out a sigh, “This time, the demons are coming tumultuously. The Holy War’s outcome seems still hard to predict. Even the elders kept in reserve by the Alliance came out from their mountains, but the demon powerhouses are still a lot more than us. Hopefully the Alliance’s battle plans will be able to be carried out successfully.”
Long Tianying asked, “Isn’t that just about procrastinating? We can keep dragging, and contest on the resources. Approaching it this way, demons are bound to lose. In this holy war, we are the only one with the ability to last indefinitely. You will see, a few years later, demonkind will be close to exhaustion in terms of food. ”
Yang Haohan replied, “The Demon God Emperor surely thought of that before. Brother Long, don’t be so optimistic.”
The other grey clad person declared, “I am going now. Since Haochen returned to the Alliance, I can be at ease.”
Long Tianying wrinkled in his brows, “Where are you heading for?”
The grey clad man’s voice was full of killing intent, “Demon rear.” After saying this, he turned and walked away big strides.
Long Tianying and Yang Haohan exchanged glances, “Brother Yang, after Haochen comes out from the Illusory Cave, I want to meet him, and carry out his examination personally. How does it sound?”
Yang Haohan nodded, “This matter is to be left between you grandson and you. Do as you want. However, I’m not expert in city defense. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass cannot do without you watching over.”
Long Tianying nodded to these words, “I won’t make it last long. I’m returning to closed doors cultivation, notify me when Haochen comes out.”
“Yes.”
Was Long Haochen as calm as he looked? That was not the case.
At the instant he shut his eyes, various images bubbled forth in him. Cai’er’s figure holding her cane was the first, followed by the time of her sudden awakening as a god’s chosen one. Then, it instantly changed into the time she was seated in her room, at the time they were separating.
After Cai’er, came the image of his father, who was strictly watching over him, and seemed to be telling him something.
Then followed his mother. Her eyes were still melancholic and sad. Since young, he was separated from his both parents for long periods of time. Having not been together for over ten years, they finally reunited with difficulty.
His father disappeared because of a difficult battle, and these last few years, his mother was subject to a pain no one could imagine.
The appearance of his comrades also surged to Long Haochen’s mind. Since their first battle in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, to the great battle of the hissing caverns, then the episode in the Southern Mountain Pass, the Illusory Paradise, the Swamps of Gloom. All these scenes flickered very distinctly in Long Haochen’s head.
In these circumstances, how could he keep himself calm?
Faintly feeling chills on his back, Long Haochen was fully aware that it was fortunate that he managed to keep calm, and didn’t dare advance prematurely, otherwise, his mind could go mad. The worries that were filling him could be pushed down, but they were bound to affect his resolution gradually, affecting the pure heart of a god’s chosen one.
His exchanges with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon were not many, but one of his most important points was that the god’s chosen one of light was not the same as the others.
His greatest advantage is simply the perfection of his soul, and gifts. This is something that Cai’er, as the one chosen by the God of Death, couldn’t compare to. But this perfection was also his biggest issue.
Being too perfect permits imperfections to appear easily. As a proof, at the times the past Divine Snails of Sun and Moon appeared, didn’t the god’s chosen ones all sink into evil? Not only diverging from saving the continent, they instead became sinners. This was especially the case for that Divine Gigantic Dragon or the master of the Tower of Eternity, Slumbering Calamity Elux.
Therefore, self-awareness is a very important point to the god’s chosen ones of light.
At the time the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon departed this world, he left Long Haochen only a shell, but before departing, his final strength help Long Haochen clean his heart. This was not something he did, but something he transmitted, instructing Long Haochen how to do.
Right, self-awareness. Only by remaining always self-aware, keeping a clear mind and clear heart, the Scion of Light will remain himself forever.
“Thank you, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon.” Long Haochen murmured sincerely.
