Chapter 2137: Heavenly Master
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was astonished.
The spectating cultivators were also stunned.
Heavenly Master?
What the h.e.l.l is this?!
How has An Lin suddenly become their Heavenly Master?
“W-what are you doing? Hurry up and get up!” An Lin sucked in a sharp breath as he looked at the millions of Dark Wing Tribe members kneeling before him.
“We’ve come to join you! You’re our Heavenly Master!”
The Dark Wing Emperor didn’t get up, and he explained their purpose in a respectful voice.
“Heavenly Master, if you don’t accept us, then we’ll never get up!” the Heavenly Night Monarch said emotionally. There was a look of boundless reverence and adoration in her eyes as she gazed at An Lin.
.
An Lin was extremely taken aback by the scenes before him.
He knew that the Dark Wing Tribe was an incredibly proud tribe. This was a tribe that viewed itself as the messenger of the heavens and as the n.o.blest tribe in the world. They acted according to the will of the heavens, and when they interacted with the world, they would always hold themselves in a haughty and domineering manner. They viewed themselves as transcendent above all other tribes of the Tai Chu Continent.
Yet, right now, they were actually kneeling before An Lin?
And they wouldn’t rise if An Lin didn’t agree to become their master?
“I’m telling you, don’t go around calling people master so rashly! I don’t recall having the ident.i.ty of the Heavenly Master!” An Lin felt like they were here to freeload for food and shelter. Or perhaps they were here to find some support.
Meanwhile, he pondered over whether he was truly this powerful already. Was he so freakishly powerful that his past enemy was now shamelessly coming to join his forces?
Seeing the displeasure on An Lin’s face, the Dark Wing Emperor hurriedly said, “Don’t refuse us so quickly. Let me ask you a question first. Are you the Heavenly Darkness G.o.d?”
Everyone was already aware of this.
An Lin nodded, not refuting this notion.
The Dark Wing Emperor continued, “We’ve been searching for our Heavenly Master this entire time. When you managed to completely grasp the power of darkness, darkness spread throughout the entire Tai Chu Continent. Moreover, that darkness actually resonated with the darkness of our mobile castle, causing the Heavenly Master Seal to soar into the sky. It yearned to fuse together with this darkness!
“At that time, we came to a realization. The Heavenly Master that we had long been searching for had finally appeared!
“We proclaim ourselves to be the messenger of the heavens. However, who are the heavens that we served? The mobile castle has finally given us an answer. In reality, we’re the servants of darkness, the servants of the Heavenly Dao of Darkness!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The millions of Dark Wing Tribe beings unfurled their black wings in unison.
“Do you know why our feathers are black?” the Dark Wing Emperor asked with emotion.
An Lin was slightly dazed after hearing his explanation, and he asked, “Why…?”
“Because this color expresses our love for you!” the Dark Wing Emperor exclaimed pa.s.sionately.
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan: “???”
At this moment, the millions of Dark Wing Tribe beings suddenly felt an icy chill shoot up their spines.
They obediently retracted their wings before gazing at An Lin in eager antic.i.p.ation.
An Lin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, “Answer these three questions honestly first.”
“Please go ahead, Heavenly Master. Not to mention three questions, we’ll be willing to answer even thirty thousand questions,” the Dark Wing Emperor said.
An Lin could barely stand their obsequiousness. He summoned his courage and asked, “You’ve specifically come here to acknowledge me as your master. What’s your purpose for doing this?”
“Our purpose is to act according to your will,” the Dark Wing Emperor replied sincerely.
The remaining members of the Dark Wing Tribe nodded in agreement.
An Lin then asked, “In other words, you’ll definitely obey my commands? If I command you to attack the Heavenly Human Tribe, would you dare to carry out this command?”
“Why won’t we dare?” the Dark Wing Emperor replied. “It’s not like we haven’t fought against them before. In fact, we’ve even battled against them to determine who would have the right to execute the will of the heavens—although we lost that battle.”
In reality, everyone knew that the Dark Wing Tribe had failed. Not only had they been defeated, but they had even been beaten into a recluse.
At this moment, the several million Dark Wing Tribe beings all roared in unison.
“We’re willing to lay down our lives for Heavenly Master!”
“We’re willing to lay down our lives for Heavenly Master!”
An Lin’s expression was a little adrift as he listened to these fervent and impa.s.sioned declarations.
In order to support him, they were even willing to battle against the Heavenly Human Tribe, a tribe that had brought them so many nightmares?
Was this the cowardly Dark Wing Tribe that he knew of?
“Last question…”
An Lin looked at the Dark Wing Emperor and asked, “The Evil-Slaying Sword, why did you try to obtain it at that time? What significance does the Evil-Slaying Sword hold for you?”
At that time, the Moonlit Night Monarch had fought with her life on the line in an attempt to obtain the Evil-Slaying Sword. In fact, she had even given up on exacting revenge for the Dark Night Monarch and viewed this as her most important mission. He remembered this clearly.
The Evil-Slaying Sword hadn’t even been a divine weapon at the time, so it shouldn’t have attracted such attention and vigor from the Moonlit Night Monarch, a Dao Integration Stage supreme being.
“I would’ve explained this to you even if you hadn’t asked,” the Dark Wing Emperor said. However, there was a look of hesitation on his face as he looked at the crowd of spectators around An Lin.
An Lin understood his intention, and he immediately unleashed a barrier of darkness to keep them outside.
The Dark Wing Emperor was still a little hesitant as he gazed at the woman in jade beside An Lin.
“Xiaolan is trustworthy. No need to hold back,” An Lin said.
“I understand.” The Dark Wing Emperor knew that Xu Xiaolan was An Lin’s dao partner. At least, this was what the entire world thought. In any case, there was no other man who was worthy of Xu Xiaolan.
“We were searching for the Evil-Slaying Sword because this sword was a holy weapon of our tribe.
“This is a sword that can connect and communicate with the Heavenly Dao. Thus, it’s not only capable of crus.h.i.+ng the heavens, but it’s also capable of mending the heavens…”
An Lin shuddered upon hearing this.
Connect and communicate with the Heavenly Dao? Capable of crus.h.i.+ng the heavens and also capable of mending the heavens?
The Evil-Slaying Sword was indeed peculiar. It was far more powerful than ordinary divine tools. This was something that An Lin was aware of.
In fact, An Lin had experienced both the heaven crus.h.i.+ng and heaven mending abilities of the Evil-Slaying Sword.
Regarding the mending of the heavens, An Lin recalled using Little Xie to mend the heavens in both the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm and the Divine Source Continent. Little Xie had also mentioned that she could only mend the physical defects but not the defects of the Heavenly Dao.
However, everything would develop and grow.
With him and Little Xie both becoming stronger, perhaps Little Xie now possessed the ability to mend the Heavenly Dao?
Regarding the crus.h.i.+ng of the heavens, An Lin used the Evil-Slaying Sword to sever the nomological laws of heaven and earth before. When the Heavenly G.o.ds first appeared, he had also used the Evil-Slaying Sword to wound their essence. These were feats that ordinary divine tools couldn’t achieve…
An Lin gazed at the Dark Wing Emperor and asked with a thoughtful look, “Then how did Little Xie’s peculiar abilities come about? Do you know?”
Right after he asked this, there was suddenly a flash of black light.
A little girl in a black dress appeared beside An Lin. Her fists were clenched, and there were a few glimmers of emotion in her dead fish eyes. She stared at the Dark Wing Emperor with intense attention.
Little Xie had appeared. She had already regained much of her memory and knowledge, yet she was still unable to recall her own past. Thus, it was only natural that she was very interested to learn about the origin of her power.
“Ohhh…!
“Heavens! What an adorable little girl!
“This… Such a familiar power! Is this the Tool Spirit of the holy weapon?
“So amazing!
“Can I squeeze your cheeks?”
Little Xie raised her eyebrows and said, “p.i.s.s off!”
An Lin sighed and said, “Hurry up and explain. What in the world is with Little Xie’s power? Tell us everything that you know.”
The Dark Wing Emperor suddenly retrieved a black orb. There was a profound look in his eyes, and he said slowly, “You’re aware of the Purple Star Civilization, correct?”
“Nonsense.”
“The Evil-Slaying Sword…
“Was the first among a series of weapons used by the Purple Star Civilization to crush the heavens!”
