Chapter 363 Let Go Without Lowering the Head
Deity was looking up at the sky on Wangtian Pavilion.
At dusk, the sky above Heaven Capital was gloomy. Since the gale was passing through this place, it was raining and blowing hard.
Beney, the biggest typhoon of the year, was about to make landfall on East Island from Heaven Capital. The howling hurricane shook the whole city. Seen from above, the entire Heaven Capital was in a frenzy amidst the hurricane.
Deity stood on the rooftop of Wangtian Pavilion and was dressed in black.
A gale approaching the tenth level blew past. The rain kept falling, but it never caused the slightest flutter of his clothes.
He was standing there. It seemed that the howling wind, the pouring rain, and the gloomy sky were all fake; only he was the most real.
Deity looked up at the sky.
The rain was falling rapidly, the sky was gloomy, and the night was approaching. A dark tint loomed in the air.
The Deity in black seemed to blend into the night, and the whole night seemed to come alive.
No lights were on in Wangtian Pavilion.
As the headquarters of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, it was the tallest building in the entire Heaven Capital. It was all dark and looked very dignified and majestic. On a stormy night, Wangtian Pavilion without lights was like a black monster standing in Heaven Capital. Occasionally when the lightning cut through the sky, the black Wangtian Pavilion actually appeared somewhat ferocious under the pale lightning.
A white shadow appeared in the dark but vivid night.
The white shadow hurriedly walked up to the rooftop. At the sight of Deity, the shadow unconsciously slowed down.
He was holding a letter tightly in his hand. Perhaps because of excitement, his eyes were very bright, and his handsome face appeared a little bit devilish.
Daybreak, Lord Senluo of Heaven Capital.
He was also the person closest to Deity in the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, both in terms of strength and relationship. Shadow the Ripper, the murderous weapon of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, had always been in the hands of Daybreak. This alone was enough to show Deity’s absolute trust in Daybreak.
Daybreak came up behind Deity and said in a respectful tone, “Your Highness.”
“What are you so happy about?” Deity asked with a chuckle.
He still looked up at the night sky, with no smile but cold silence in his eyes.
“The letter from Zhongzhou State.”
Daybreak gave the letter in his hand to Deity.
Deity took it but did not open it.
He already knew what the letter was about, and a phone call could reach him with a lot of information.
But Zhongzhou State sent him a letter at this point.
Without reading it, he knew that the content of the letter was not what he wanted to see.
Deity looked silently at the envelope in his hand. It took a long time before he tore the envelope meticulously and took out the folded letter paper.
The handwriting of the few lines on the writing paper was familiar, but because he had not seen it for so long that it became unfamiliar. The handwriting was vigorous and bold. However, the tip of the pen went slick, showing a kind of natural smoothness and strength.
“Purgatory of Heaven Capital cannot replace Tiannan.”
“You can’t replace this world, either.”
“Tianlan already has the battle strength of the Invincible Realm.”
“It’s better to lower your head and let it go.”
The letter had neither opening nor ending.
There were only a few words on it.
Deity squinted at the last sentence.
It was better to lower your head and let go.
He felt cold in his heart but was not angry. He just stared intently at the letter in front as if he were thinking.
Daybreak didn’t leave. When Deity had finished reading the letter, he asked casually, “What’s the letter about?”
Deity stood quietly. Under the heavy rain, his clothes were dry and neat, but the rain kept falling on the letter paper.
The letter paper was gradually soaked and shattered, eventually turning into scraps and falling into the rainwater on the rooftop.
“He wants me to lower my head and let it go.”
Deity asked calmly, “What do you think?”
“Tiannan?”
Daybreak raised his eyebrows.
“Tiannan.”
Deity’s tone became more indifferent.
Daybreak suddenly fell silent.
The chaotic sound of wind and rain still sounded. Thunderbolts seemed to be tumbling in the sky. The atmosphere on the roof was oppressive.
“Uncontrollable.”
Daybreak stayed silent for a long time. Since he was alone with Deity, he spoke freely, “You underestimated Old Master’s control over the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and his tacit understanding with Qin Weibai. We marched to Tiannan back then, but now we have no way to back down. You were tricked by them. The situation in Tiannan is out of control.”
“Most importantly, you underestimated Tianlan’s speed of growth.”
A smile crept over the lips of Daybreak. He was on Deity’s side, but when he spoke of Li Tianlan’s strength, his eyes became brighter. It was an odd performance and also a testament to his troubled stance. “To have the battle strength of the Invincible Realm at the age of 22. The result is enough to give everyone confidence, the greatest confidence.”
Deity remained silent.
Just like what Daybreak said.
Everything in Tiannan seemed to be still in control, but in fact, they were already on the verge of losing control.
Daybreak’s Senluo Hall was now stationed in Tiannan, which was the main fighting force of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital in Tiannan.
However, most of the members of Senluo Hall were the elite from the Eastern Theater of Operations who feigned death in the final battle of Heaven Capital and stayed in East Island three days ago.
They were Ning Zhiyuan’s direct subordinates.
Aside from Senluo Hall, the leaders of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital in Tiannan also had different origins.
What was the Purgatory of Heaven Capital?
It was a superpower in the Dark World created by Deity.
It was a behemoth that was constantly developing in East Island with the support of the East Island Royal Family.
But in the final analysis, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital was a purgatory, as its name suggested.
Three years ago, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital appeared in Heaven Capital.
Three years ago, the border war of Zhongzhou State broke out.
Three years ago, with its last glow, the Li family confronted the five major power groups of the Dark World invading the border of Zhongzhou State.
After that fierce battle, some people in the Li family, which had only a small number of people left, were destined to sleep eternally.
But more people fell directly into purgatory after the so-called “death”.
They fell into the Purgatory of Heaven Capital!
True death was followed by eternal darkness.
While true freedom came after illusory death.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital appeared in East Island.
The Li family in Zhongzhou State suffered heavy losses.
Behind all these superficial phenomena, it was a decaying, old power group secretly conveying its strength to a new superpower.
The combination of time was flawless.
In three years and even more than two decades, the veterans who fell into purgatory from the Li family had become the backbone of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
To a certain extent, Deity could not represent the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
He could only represent himself.
Deity, coupled with these veterans, formed the most complete Purgatory of Heaven Capital!
It was the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and also the Li family after nirvana and rebirth.
The layout in Tiannan was the first step for the Purgatory of Heaven Capital to return to Zhongzhou State. If Deity wanted to regain Zhongzhou State, he would have to face countless conspiracies, tricks, and attacks.
Tiannan was the most suitable entry point.
So when Qin Weibai suggested he march to Tiannan back then, he didn’t hesitate.
And in order to establish a foothold in Tiannan, all the core members he sent there were the most familiar with Tiannan.
Who knew Tiannan best?
Naturally, they were the people who had spent the longest time in the border campsite near Tiannan.
The ones who took his order were elated.
Deity did not doubt the loyalty of these people. He was sure that they would all be at his service.
The problem was that they would obey Li Tianlan’s orders too.
Li Tianlan grew up too fast.
By now, he already had the combat power of the Invincible Realm.
In this case, the entire Tiannan had become a custom base for Li Tianlan.
With the Li family in mind, Ning Zhiyuan was transferred to serve as the commander of the Tiannan Freedom Corps.
Dijiang, the biggest resistance of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, had returned to the Wang family of Beihai. If nothing went wrong, he would soon become the youngest marshal in Zhongzhou State and the new commander of the Border Control Corps.
The Blood Battalion was still controlled by Dongcheng Wudi. Thunder God, the new commander of the Blood Battalion, was a well-deserved core figure of the Dongcheng Clan.
Southwest Special Warfare Headquarters was occupied by Mount Shu.
Spirit Tortoise Team, the most elite group in the Terracotta Army of Zhongzhou State, had been transferred to Tiannan.
What would happen when Li Tianlan arrived in Tiannan?
He would become the dominator of Tiannan.
Everything around him, be it Zhongzhou State or the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, was his forces, to some extent.
As a 22-year-old young man, his strength today and his future potential were worthy of absolute trust.
He would occupy Tiannan at the fastest speed and let the Li family shine brightly there again.
But the Purgatory of Heaven Capital couldn’t do anything.
Deity.
Li Tianlan.
Everyone in the Purgatory of Heaven Capital took it for granted that they were two people who could never have any conflict or disagreement.
Once Deity did something strange, the entire Purgatory of Heaven Capital would be confused.
Deity could not afford such a consequence because he had his responsibility.
“I will let it go.”
It rained harder.
In the roaring sound made by the rain, Deity’s voice was a bit vague. “But I will not lower my head.”
At this moment, he thought of the old man in the Li family and Qin Weibai.
Old Master had been preparing for this situation for more than 20 years, but the most critical border war was caused by the Samsara Palace, intentionally or unintentionally.
How long had Qin Weibai prepared for this situation?
“Won’t you lower your head?” Daybreak asked softly.
His voice was a little vague and complicated.
“Do you have a chance?”
“Huawu is dead,” he whispered.
“I have a chance.”
Deity’s tone was calm. “Don’t forget, there is still cooperation between Qin Weibai and me.”
He paused and then continued calmly, “Do you know why I sent some people to Mount Dibing to attack Summer Solstice?”
His tone was somewhat meaningful.
Daybreak thought for a moment, and his face suddenly changed.
“I know the strength of Summer Solstice very well.”
The voice of Deity was gentle. “I’m also aware of her state. The reason why I made our men meet their fates was that the leaders were the four most powerful Super Masters of the Samsara Palace. If I’m right, it’s going to be hard for the four of them to get involved in anything in Snow Country.”
“So?”
Daybreak’s tone was a bit dry.
“The Samsara Palace lacks forces and is destined to be exterminated this time. Once Master of Samsara Palace and Qin Weibai die, I will find some time and play with Li Tianlan.”
He looked at Daybreak and said softly, “This final battle of Snow Country will be very lively. Perhaps a few Half-step Invincible Realm experts will be enough to decide the whole battle in the end. I plan to take you and Dawn to Snow Country. Daybreak, can I trust you?”
“Will Phoenix go there?”
Daybreak froze.
“She won’t.”
There was a touch of tenderness in Deity’s eyes.
“I...”
Daybreak opened his mouth. “I’ll follow you there.”
His voice was a little dry, and his eyes lost focus. “I was only sixteen when I was by your side. You used to be a marshal and now His Highness in the hearts of others. But in my heart, you’re my most respectable elder brother both before and after treason.”
He stared into Deity’s eyes. “You can trust me, but I need a reason. Why are you the way you are? There is nothing wrong with Tianlan in my opinion. Why don’t you approve of him?”
His tone was serious.
Without flinching, he stared into Deity’s eyes with fierceness and earnestness.
Perhaps because his eyes were too sharp, Deity turned his head and looked at Heaven Capital under the stormy sky from Wangtian Pavillion.
“Because he doesn’t deserve it,” Deity said softly.
When he said that, there was unusual stubbornness in his eyes.
