Chapter 164 : Flower Sea, Divine Kingdom

The meeting was over.

The majority had voted in favor of activating the final measure.

Some had also expressed opposition.

But compared to those overwhelming voices, they were too insignificant.

The vote passed; the final measure was activated.

“I never imagined that even when the Holy Demon Wall was breached and the previous Demon King arrived in person, the human world was not forced to use the final measure.”

“But now, with the war over and everything seemingly settled, something like this has happened.”

“Who would have thought? The hero who killed the Demon King actually became the new Demon King, and stayed in the human world for so long without anyone noticing.”

“If not for the Starry Sky Realm masters being severely injured, she wouldn’t have been able to flee all the way to the Holy Demon Wall.”

After the meeting, some high-ranking humans exchanged words.

“In the end, we still have to use the final measure…”

“That is the most precious legacy left from the Age of Gods; each time it’s used, it diminishes.”

“Moreover, for the next several hundred years, the human world will not be able to use it again.”

“Let’s just hope that in the centuries after using the final measure to deal with the new Demon King, the world can be a bit more peaceful.”

After some time.

Human World, Supreme Sanctum.

The highest echelon of humanity—eight Starry Sky Realm experts—gathered at this moment.

The Starry Sky Realm experts took out the ancient fragments they each held.

As the fragments were finally assembled, the gate of the Supreme Sanctum reacted, slowly opening a crack.

In an instant, an ancient, dense, almost materialized divine mist spread from the other side of the gate.

The auras within made the Starry Sky Realm experts’ souls hum, and they felt the urge to prostrate themselves.

Once their souls and vitality stabilized, the leading Starry Sky Realm expert finally walked forward.

Amid the bows of the others…

He entered the Supreme Sanctum.

Time passed.

The scene returned to Lu Mo and Cecilia.

The two were very close to the Holy Demon Wall.

In just a little more time, they would reach the foot of the Holy Demon Wall.

Looking at that long-missed barrier, Lu Mo let out a sigh.

“We’re back…”

They had experienced much at the Holy Demon Wall.

Killed many demons.

And said goodbye to many people.

Had laughter.

Had sorrow.

It had been the last line of defense protecting the human world.

But now, she was about to cross this wall and enter the Erosion Lands.

Cecilia looked at the wall that towered into the clouds, as if it could cut off the horizon, and murmured at this moment.

“Another wall…”

Once they crossed this wall, they would leave the human world.

Would they… finally gain freedom?

At that time, would she and Miss Lu Mo be able to escape the pursuit of the Celestial Realm?

As they watched, they drew closer and closer to the Holy Demon Wall.

At that moment, Cecilia felt dazed again.

She suddenly felt that in her life, there always seemed to be one wall after another.

When she was young, that wall was the low, old wall in the corner of the manor.

Her doll was thrown over that wall by the children who bullied her.

There, she first met Lu Mo.

With Lu Mo’s help, she crossed the first wall of her life.

When she grew a little older, that wall was the outermost courtyard wall of Kalis Manor.

She saw such a high wall for the first time.

And again it was Lu Mo who held her at that time and crossed the courtyard wall in the wind.

Then, brought her to a farther world.

That small town, that market, that distant song—she still remembered them clearly.

After that, the wall was the long years at the academy.

She was locked inside the Saintess Academy.

The monotonous academy life separated her childhood and girlhood, and separated her from Lu Mo.

Years later, she left that academy and returned to the wall in the corner of the manor.

But then she found that Lu Mo was waiting for her.

Everything was exactly the same as before.

Later, that wall became Solaris.

Became the Demon King.

Became the Priscian family.

Became those who were hunting them.

One wall after another stood before her.

And one wall after another stood before them.

And every time, Lu Mo would appear by her side.

Take her hand and lead her over those walls of life.

That girl was always omnipotent.

So nothing could stop them.

Nothing could prevent their meeting.

They would be together, always and forever.

Until eternity.

Now…

The Holy Demon Wall before them seemed to be the final wall blocking them.

But they would surely leap over it.

They… would eventually leap over it.

Cecilia felt everything around her becoming warm.

That deep winter of life seemed to end.

The snow was melting.

The birds were flying back.

Little flowers bloomed on the ground beneath their feet without her noticing when.

Gradually, more and more, until it became a sea of flowers.

At that moment, the sky seemed to turn into an ocean.

They were facing the sea.

Spring warmth, flowers blooming.

“No—”

At that moment, Cecilia seemed to suddenly realize something.

Could snow melt so quickly?

And how could those flowers have bloomed in such a short time?

And when had the sky over the Holy Demon Wall become so clear?

Lu Mo also stopped at this moment.

She suddenly erupted with Fusion Sublimation Power, protecting Cecilia at this moment.

The vitality around them was growing denser and denser.

The flowers turned into a sea of blooms, increasingly bright, increasingly intense.

As if at this moment…

They were burning!

The surrounding air also became hotter and hotter.

Within that burning sea of flowers, the entire space was dyed a pale gold!

The divine aura in the entire space…

Also at this time, grew stronger and stronger!

Vaguely, magnificent palaces shimmered within that pale gold time-space.

Countless complex divine patterns surged from beneath the sea of flowers, converging toward the sky.

At this moment, they merged with the sun that blazed brightly in the sky.

Lu Mo saw again at this moment…

Within the sun, a figure was slowly walking toward her and Cecilia.

Like an ancient figure hovering between illusion and reality.

Standing atop the sea of flowers.

Standing in the center of the magnificent palaces.

The pinnacle of all divinity and power!

God.

This was the only word that could come to mind for both Lu Mo and Cecilia after seeing that figure.

The instant they saw the god.

Both Lu Mo’s and Cecilia’s bodies had reactions to varying degrees.

As if some ancient memory, or something etched deep in their souls, had awakened.

Forcing them…

To involuntarily bow before the god.

But this thought only existed in Lu Mo’s mind for an instant before she forcibly extinguished it.

“Ugh—”

As for Cecilia, she showed an even more pained expression at this moment.

Behind her, that invisible thread was gradually appearing.

Once again…

Appearing in this world.

Appearing within this burning illusory divine kingdom!

It connected all the way to the sky.

Connected to…

That place higher than the sun, farther than the divine kingdom.

And immediately, that thread also began to burn bit by bit in this intensely blazing illusory divine kingdom.

Igniting Cecilia’s life.

Igniting…

Her soul.

As if the Saintess was not meant to live in this era.

She was supposed to completely offer up her life and soul.

Die at the Demon King’s Throne.

Die before the Hero’s sword.

Her original fate had been altered.

And now, her fate was about to be pushed back onto its original track.

It seemed everything would return to its original course.
