Immortal in The Apocalypse

After Lu Qiu left, Ming Ye asked, "True God Zhu Lin, do you want to go back and inform the Heavenly Emperor and the others about your return?"

Zhu Lin shook her head, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said, "No. It won’t be too late to inform my elder brother and the others of my return after settling accounts with the Devil Realm and the Ghost Realm."

Ming Ye clasped his fist and said, "Yes. I will obey your orders."

She then flew towards the battlefield, with the God of War following closely behind. When Zhu Lin arrived at the battlefield with Ming Ye, the devils and the ghosts were shocked. They looked at her in horror, panicked, and then started running away as fast as they could.

Looking at the devils and ghosts that were running away, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and said, "They are like scattered sand. Who is their general?"

Ming Ye shook his head and said, "They don’t have generals. Since the Ghost King disappeared and the Devil King died, the elders of the Devil Race have only given orders and dispatched the army from the Devil Realm, but have never personally led the army. As for the evil ghosts, they just want to get some benefits and work under the elders of the Devil Race."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Lin realized that the attacks from the Devil Realm and the Ghost Realm were more like bait to distract them. While she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a huge fluctuation of divine energy coming from the Heavenly Palace and said, "Not good! My elder brother is in danger!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Lin flew back to the Heavenly Palace as fast as she could, leaving the worried heavenly generals behind. Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Ming Ye looked at the heavenly generals standing behind him and said, "Please guard this border and wait for my return."

The heavenly generals clasped their fists and said, "Yes, High God Ming Ye."

Ming Ye nodded to them, then turned into white light and chased Zhu Lin. Seeing that the two of them left in a hurry, the heavenly generals looked at each other for a moment, and the North Star God said, "Let’s do our best to defend this border. I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen in the Heavenly Palace."

The other heavenly generals nodded and returned to their posts. While the heavenly generals defended the border between the Devil Realm and the Celestial Realm, Zhu Lin and Ming Ye landed in front of the south gate of the Heavenly Palace.

Seeing the heavenly soldiers lying motionless on the ground covered in blood, Zhu Lin’s heart sank. As she ran towards the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, she said, "High God Ming Ye, please go and get reinforcement."

Ming Ye knew that the Heavenly Palace was under attack, so he only told Zhu Lin to be careful and turned into white light and went to get reinforcement. When Zhu Lin arrived at the main hall, she saw that the heavenly soldiers there had also been killed by the enemy.

When she rushed into the main hall, she saw all the gods and goddesses were there. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her elder brother standing in front of the throne, while looking at the gods and goddesses below.

When he noticed someone coming, Ling Zhen raised his eyes. When he saw his younger sister walking in, his eyes widened in surprise. Looking at her blood-stained dress, he opened his lips and asked with complicated emotion in his eyes: "Lin’er? You are really still alive."

Zhu Lin smiled at her elder brother and said, "Elder Brother, I’m back."

After saying that, what Zhu Lin saw was not a happy smile, but her elder brother’s frowning face. He clenched his hands and muttered: "No wonder... No wonder the ritual failed. It turns out she is still alive!"

Zhu Lin noticed something was wrong with her elder brother and walked up to him, but was stopped by a tall man wearing black clothes and a mask.

"Don’t come near him." The man said calmly.

Zhu Lin turned to look at the man and her eyes widened in surprise when she asked, "High God Wei Jie? Why are you here?"

The God of Time looked at her and said, "I’m here to stop the Heavenly Emperor from walking down the wrong path and destroy the Six Realms."

Zhu Lin was confused, looked at her elder brother and asked, "Elder Brother, what is going on here?"

Hearing her question, Ling Zhen raised his eyes and looked at his younger sister with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He frowned and said, "You should die. If you don’t die, how can I resurrect her?"

Looking at her gentle elder brother who was holding a sword covered in blood, Zhu Lin looked at the other gods and asked, "What is going on here?"

The God of Reincarnation stepped forward, clasped his fists at her and said, "Answering True God Zhu Lin. The Heavenly Emperor broke the rules of heaven and wanted to sacrifice to the Six Realms to resurrect the Ancient God Yu Yi. We are here today to ask him to give an explanation and impose a punishment on him on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."

As soon as Zi Quan finished speaking, Ling Zhen chuckled and said calmly: "Punishment? Don’t you know that I did all of these to save the Six Realms? I am not wrong. Why should I be punished by the Heavenly Dao?"

He looked at the frowning expressions of the gods and goddesses, and then said, "Without the Ancient God Yu Yi, it would be impossible for the Celestial Race to be resurrected after death without reincarnating as a mortal countless times. If the Celestial Race needed a very long time before they could return to the Celestial Realm, in the long run, no one would be left to fight against the Devil Race when all the gods and goddesses died. At that time, the Six Realms will truly fall into the Dark Ages, and it will be the mortals and immortals who will suffer the consequences."
