138: The dust has settled!

The most sensitive Little Black Toad immediately became alert upon seeing the changes around the city.

Master Chen and Lu Wuwei's expressions also turned grim.

They were eyewitnesses to the Divine War ten years ago, so of course they knew the truth about Cangnan City.

Behind the prosperous city was merely a ruin barely supported by the power of a Miracle.

Cangnan, as it was, could be said to be on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Therefore, as the source of the Miracle's power, Lin Qi Ye, who possessed the Mortal Divine Realm, could not leave this place within these ten years, no matter what.

As long as he remained in Cangnan, the city's existence would last a little longer.

Once Lin Qi Ye left, Cangnan would immediately turn into ruins.

This was why Lin Qi Ye grew up here, and why this year's Night Watcher Training Camp was held in Cangnan.

And now, this Miracle's power had finally reached its end.

Yang Jin, standing on the street, also felt the anomaly in Cangnan.

"Has this moment finally arrived?" Yang Jin clenched his fists; he had no way to deal with this situation now.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around Yang Jin changed, and a blurry light figure appeared before him.

If observed closely, the light figure wore a hairpin, had flowing long hair, and was dressed in a Daoist robe; although not very clear, it gave off a profound sense of mystery.

Yang Jin moved his mouth, the surprise in his eyes undisguised.

"Celestial Venerable, why have you come?"

To be honest, his heart was a little panicked; most Great Xia Gods were asleep in Reincarnation, and his emergence had undoubtedly broken this status quo.

"Haha, my junior, do you think I've come to demand an explanation?" The light figure said.

Yang Jin's expression was awkward, revealing his inner unease.

"Your impulsive step, however, was an unintentional success, truly marvelous!"

Celestial Venerable suddenly said this, and Yang Jin was bewildered, "Celestial Venerable, could you please clarify?"

Celestial Venerable shook his head, "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed! However, it is a pity that you cut off your path to Reincarnation."

After speaking, Celestial Venerable waved his hand, and a profound and mysterious aura entered Yang Jin's body.

As this Qi entered Yang Jin's body, Yang Jin immediately felt as if a seed had been planted within his Primordial Spirit.

"Celestial Venerable, is this a Divine Personality?"

Celestial Venerable smiled and nodded, "Indeed, with this matter resolved, I will send you back to the Old Lord's Furnace to reshape your Divine Personality."

"Old Lord's Furnace? Isn't that where that monkey stayed back then?" Yang Jin asked.

"Indeed!"

As the two were talking, a black shadow suddenly darted from the street.

"Woof woof!"

It was Little Black Toad, who had returned to his original form, running over.

"Little Black Toad, it's good that you're alright!"

Seeing Yang Jin alive, Little Black Toad's tail was wagging furiously, clearly very excited.

Yang Jin stroked Little Black Toad's head and asked, "Didn't you fight Yue Huai? Is he dead?"

Upon hearing Yang Jin ask about Yue Huai, Little Black Toad's ears immediately drooped, and his barks softened.

"Woof woof woof..." Little Black Toad told Yang Jin everything that had happened in detail.

Yang Jin frowned, "This Song Zhong, he really is from the Ancient God Church, but the Ancient God Church and those Outer Gods should be allied, so why did he kill Indra and Loki?"

He thought for a long time but couldn't reach a conclusion, so he asked Celestial Venerable for guidance. "Celestial Venerable, do you know this person's origin?"

Unexpectedly, Celestial Venerable shook his head, "Before the matter is clear, I dare not make a rash judgment. However, Cangnan's Qi has returned to peace, so there should be no more killing. Yang Jin, it's time to go, our time is almost up."

"Wait, Celestial Venerable, do you know about my brother Lin Qi Ye's current situation?" Yang Jin still worried about him.

"Are you the Archangel's proxy?" Celestial Venerable's voice hesitated for a moment, then he said, "He is still in a coma. Cangnan is about to be destroyed, and being in a coma now might not be a bad thing for him."

"This..." Yang Jin was stunned.

Should he ask Celestial Venerable for help to awaken Lin Qi Ye?

Would it be too painful for his brother to witness this bloody truth with his own eyes?

However, if he woke up only to find his hometown in ruins, that too seemed like a heavy blow.

If he were his older brother, which outcome would he choose?

Phew!

Yang Jin thought it over repeatedly, then let out a long breath.

"Please, Celestial Venerable, help awaken my brother."

Celestial Venerable looked at Yang Jin with some surprise, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Yang Jin nodded, and said seriously, "If it were me, I would also choose to face the truth. At least, personally witnessing Cangnan's destruction would bring some closure."

Celestial Venerable nodded, "So be it, so be it!"

The members of the 136 Squad outside Cangnan City all showed shocked expressions upon seeing the mottled and dilapidated city.

"What's going on? Why did Cangnan City become like this? Weren't those monsters repelled?"

Hong Ying looked at Cangnan slowly turning into ruins, simply unable to believe her eyes.

"There's nothing strange about it, this is the true Cangnan."

Chen Muye's voice attracted everyone's attention, a hint of sorrow and reluctance appearing on his face.

"Don't be surprised, the true Cangnan was destroyed ten years ago, and the reason it existed before was all because of Lin Qi Ye, it was the Miracle power of his Mortal Divine Realm that sustained the city's existence."

Chen Muye's expression was sad, "Lin Qi Ye himself doesn't know that his Divine Power was all used to maintain this Miracle, so compared to other proxies, his burden is too heavy."

"Wait!" Wu Xiangnan suddenly reacted, "Captain, you said Cangnan was destroyed ten years ago, so then aren't you..."

Everyone knew that Chen Muye had also arrived in Cangnan ten years ago.

Could it be that the Captain...

A wry smile appeared on Chen Muye's face, "Xiangnan, your mind is really sharp."

He looked at his squad members, "I'm very happy to have been your captain. Now, it's time to say goodbye."

Lin Qi Ye's tightly shut eyes suddenly shed tears.

He had already woken up and had been quietly listening to Chen Muye speak.

So, the truth about Cangnan was like this.

Was everything in this city fake then?

What about Yang Jin, Aunt, what about them?

Lin Qi Ye's mind was in turmoil; he didn't dare open his eyes to face this cruel reality.

Chen Muye knew Lin Qi Ye had woken up. He looked at the suffering youth, a hint of compassion rising in his heart.

"Lin Qi Ye, don't be disheartened. When you become a true powerhouse in the future, create another Miracle! A Miracle that brings all of us back."
