Chapter 728: Oneness of Heaven and Humanity (I)

Vassago hesitated for a bit, “Utilizing Great Prophecy Technique one more time is not impossible, but my vital force could possibly come to an end as a result. Also, I cannot directly make a prediction on Long Haochen, but only on the future of our race.”

Although he did not directly reject it, that could only be considered a rejection.

The Demon God Emperor waved his hands, “Third Brother, don’t listen to Ah’Bao’s drivel. Since you are certain that our race’s fate had been altered at that time, there is no longer the need for any more prediction. Only, we have to investigate this matter, and find out what humans’ end goal is.”

Ah’Bao declared sternly, “Royal father, I don’t know why, but I have the constant premonition that Long Haochen is really still alive.”

The Demon God Emperor’s look became severe, “Enough! Don’t be too opinionated. You are not your third uncle, how could you comprehend anything in premonitions?”

Ah’Bao’s expression changed as he stopped arguing the matter.

With great timing, Huang Shuo declared, “Your Majesty, I shall immediately investigate the humans’ goal and the Temples’ Great Gathering’s matters.”

“Yeah.” The Demon God Emperor nodded, then expressed to the Star Demon God, “Then Third Brother, you can go back.”

“Yes.” Vassago respectfully accepted, and left with Huang Shuo.

The Demon God Emperor slowly stood, giving Ah’Bao a glance, “We must remember that even if there are some misgivings in your heart, it doesn’t mean that you must speak them out. You especially must respect the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God.”

Ah’Bao stood and joined the Demon God Emperor’s side, “Royal Father. With your cultivation, even all the other demon gods added up are no match. Why is there a need to...”

The Demon God Emperor snorted coldly, “You know nothing. I will naturally tell you everything when I let you succeed to the position of the Demon God Emperor. All you need to know is that for demonkind, every single demon god is an important being, especially the Moon Demon and Star Demon. As long as the three of us stand on the same side, we will have the strength to calmly face any crisis. Alright, I shall go into seclusion from tomorrow onwards. The affairs of the Demon Emperor Palace shall be left to you. Oh, right, regarding the investigation about Yue Ye, has there been any news?”

Ah’Bao shook his head, “Not yet. She has already disappeared several years ago, and didn’t leak a single trace. But I have found out that some troublemakers have been in gradual rise in our demon territory. Based on insider information, they seemed to be a grouped organization, in the midst of saving power constantly. However, they are very tightly organized, and their roots are deep. I am still investigating.”

Feng Xiu let out an indifferent smile, “Just some agitated clowns. No need to fear. Don’t pay too much attention to this matter. Your cultivation is the most major matter. Your royal father knows about your progress in the recent years. When I come out from this seclusion, I will give you more matters to handle. Your royal father promises you that when your cultivation will surpass the Moon Emperor, the position of the Demon God Emperor will be for you.”

Ah’Bao’s expression changed, but he immediately lowered his head, “You are in your spring right now, royal father. Our race still needs your lead.”

Feng Xiu calmly expressed, “No need to fake it in front of me. You are right now exactly like the past me. You may go then. Remember, in this period of seclusion, you must not bother me no matter what comes. Understood?”

“Yes,” Ah’Bao said, then turned and left.

Seeing his departing figure, the Demon God Emperor had a cold smile, “So what about a relation of parentage?1 In front of authority, everything is futile.” Reaching this point, that handsome face full of holiness suddenly surged to his mind, causing him to unawarely become absent-minded, as he murmured, “Child, are you really still alive?”

Right as the Demon God Emperor was still at a loss on whether Long Haochen was still alive or not, he had already led his crew to the Knight Temple’s headquarters in Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

With the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but move with emotions. He had finally returned, not only getting to meet his mother, but also reunite with his father after a very long time! Since that year to now, it had been ten years that he had not met with his father.

That year, he had personally witnessed his father’s use of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter. Now that over ten years had passed2, the time of their reunion had come, along with the time to gain a Divine Throne’s approval.

The six wings behind his back vanishing, Long Haochen was the first to land on the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Perhaps because of the dozen years spent reminiscing about his father, at the time of his arrival, he couldn’t help but whistle to the sky for a long time.

The other returning powerhouses of the Knight Temple and members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope deliberately fell behind. The current Long Haochen was not only a decisive character for the Knight Temple, but moreover the chairman of the Union. Even if young, he had already proved himself to these knights with force.

A limpid hissing sound came up, it was peaceful, and gave off a feeling of being carefree. Long Haochen’s six wings then vanished as he reached the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass’ city in a flash.

Before their arrival, news of his return had arrived to the Knight Temple since long ago, and right now, fully attired knights came out on the walls of the Knight Temple. Facing Long Haochen’s descent, they all performed the most standard salute to welcome their new union chairman.

A tall man stood in the midst of the entrance, handsome and resolute of face and broad shouldered, as well as an having an incomparably sharp look. When suddenly catching sight of that sudden golden figure, his look became all the more muzzy.

“Haochen.”

That golden figure coming from nowhere was thrown into his bosom in a flash, as the two hugged each other.

“Father!!” Long Haochen’s voice was shivering, and had a great change even in its tonality.

To any man, their father would be, in their youth, their idol. Moreover, what man was Long Haochen’s father? He’s the owner of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial, Long Xingyu, of the Knight Temple! A genuine outstanding talent of his generation, and an ultra powerful Retribution Knight.

His father had always been Long Haochen’s pride. Deep in his heart, he had always been aiming and chasing after his father’s tall shadow, which drove him forward. A great part of his efforts were aimed at getting his father to acknowledge himself. Even on this day after ten years later, when encountering his father, that childhood admiration surged out, as this new union’s chairman dripped with tears.

Long Haochen’s stature was no longer thinner than his father in the least. Father and son were both the same height, both prides of the Knight Temple. All knights saluted them respectfully, as well as the far apart Long Tianying. With three generations of the Long family being among the most talented of the Knight Temple, this Long family could be considered the family with the most authority out of the Knight Temple. Although they had never minded this point, in the hearts of knights, especially young knights, their existences were unsurpassed, true idols.

Feeling Long Haochen’s surges of emotions, Long Xingyu, who was no longer capable of showing such pure feelings as his son, had a very complex expression in his eyes. His ordinarily incomparably steady hands shook lightly, as he continuously called out his son’s name.

“Haochen, oh Haochen. Your father has let you down. I haven’t protected you well.”

“Father, don’t say that. I am your son, and without your guidance, I wouldn’t be my current self. I am already grown, and should take my turn to protect you and mother.” Loosening the hug, father and son confronted each other, eyes filled with emotional colors.

Long Xingyu took a deep breath, casting off his tears, as if suddenly making some resolve. He watched Long Haochen with a firm look and declared, “Son, no matter what may have happened in the past, you are this Long Xingyu’s son, my sole son. From today onwards, whoever wants to harm you will have to first tread over my corpse.”

This was a categorical declaration, sonorous and powerful, as if it was a persuasion.

Looking at his teary father, his half whitened hair, Long Haochen was once again overwhelmed with tears. That emotional self of his hadn’t felt the covered pain in his father’s previous words, only thinking about after that short period of a dozen or so year that had passed, his father at the ninth step of cultivation yet seemed much older. He did not even appear much younger than his grandfather, even though at his ninth step cultivation, he shouldn’t age so fast. Obviously, over these years, this father had really encountered special experiences.

Taking a deep breath, Long Xingyu barely stabilized his emotions, carrying a faint smile on his face, and suddenly knocking his right fist onto his left chest, loudly declared, “Auxiliary head of the Knight Temple greets the union chairman.”

Long Haochen blankened, before suddenly coming to a realization. His identity was no longer that of chasing after his father like back in those years, at his hellish training in his youth. Now he was the first union chairman, able to represent all humankind, to represent the entirety of the human union.

His right fist energetically thumping his chest issued a Bang sound, and Long Haochen no longer said any more.

Right now, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope as well as the Knight Temple’s powerhouses were consecutively landing in town. Under Long Xingyu’s lead, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass grandiosely welcomed these knights’ triumphant return.

Although the final winners of the Temple’s Great Gathering were those from the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, out of the Six Great Temples, the greatest winner was undoubtedly the Knight Temple.

The Mage Temple’s assault under Li Zhengzhi’s lead was in the end fruitless. Even if Long Haochen and his comrades had not arisen, the final champion would still be the deeply rooted Knight Temple.

After a majestic welcoming ceremony, Long Haochen and his father met Haochen’s mother. The three members of his family were finally reunited, after over ten years. Or rather, that should be a family of four. Along with Long Haochen came another inextricable part of his life, the most beloved in his heart, Cai’er.
