Chapter 278 - 278 Senior Brothers
Chapter 278: Senior Brothers
With Xu Zhiye alone holding off two opponents, it could have been a one-on-two match if he hadn't been careless. Adding Ye An made it effectively a three-on-two, naturally straightforward.
In fact, when the Demon King's armaments appeared, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt. Ye An simply expedited the conclusion.
Those from various celestial realms watching couldn't help but have a thought cross their minds.
Is the divine realm not as strong as believed?
Throughout the battle, their proud twin prodigies were outmatched and overwhelmed by Ye An and Xu Zhiye, completely unable to retaliate.
Who is inferior? And who is superior?
For a moment, many people couldn't distinguish.
Was this all a coincidence?
But this is the second time Ye An has defeated the divine realm's top prodigies.
So far, none of the so-called super prodigies of the divine realm have managed to draw out Ye An's full strength.
Ye An is only a top-tier player in the human realm, far from being at the pinnacle.
Then wouldn't the top prodigies of the human realm be able to sweep through the divine realm?
Is the divine realm still the ultimate realm?
Once this thought arises, the prestige of the divine realm in the eyes of the world will begin to decline.
And within the divine realm itself, the divine beings are also somewhat at a loss.
The image of Ye An finally slapping the twin prodigies to death is still vivid.
Without any fierce battle, just two palms and a clap, that formidable energy body was directly shattered.
The twin prodigies are celebrated figures of the current divine realm generation, yet today they suffered a defeat as tragic as Katas before.
Are we really this weak?
Such thoughts fill the minds of many divine beings.
With external authority declining, internal confidence is also becoming uncertain.
Combined, the fortune of the divine realm is truly being affected.
As a senior figure in the divine realm, Ye Ning, a beneficiary of this fortune, has already vaguely sensed the decline of this intangible force.
Therefore, he quickly manipulated public opinion among his subordinates, publishing various articles to find reasons for the twin prodigies' defeat. He himself hurried off to seek the Holy Master.
Yet unexpectedly, the Holy Master continues to live a simple life by high mountains and flowing waters, unconcerned about the rise and fall of fortune.
Ye Ning could only speculate that the Holy Master must have his own plans.
After Ye Ning left,
Mu Tianyi's figure appeared behind the Holy Master.
He calmly said, "I know what you want to do."
"But now I am the one in charge in the divine realm."
"Please refrain from acting recklessly. Let everything proceed according to my plan!"
The Holy Master sat on a stone chair, beneath the mask were clear and refined eyes.
He calmly said, "I think, over these three thousand years, your attitude towards the human race has been overly gentle."
"Humans should not have reached their current state."
"With the strength of the divine realm, it would have been very easy to hinder the development of the human realm."
"Yet you have repeatedly compromised."
"Even now, I don't understand what you're afraid of."
"Three thousand years ago, those capable of fighting have mostly died."
"The remaining people wouldn't pose a threat to us."
With that, the Holy Master took out a tea cup shattered by Lin Ying, placing it in front of Mu Tianyi and calmly said, "This is the reason for my decision."
"In just three thousand years, the middle generation of humans has grown to this level."
"Now with the outbreak of fortune, humans soar in the sky, and they may even advance further."
"It's not Ye An and those kids; it's Lin Ying and those who will advance further."
"At that time, things will become very troublesome."
Mu Tianyi kept staring at the fragments of the tea cup, his eyes slightly darkened, saying, "My decision, please don't interfere."
"There are things you don't understand, and what you need to do is far more complicated than you think."
The Holy Master lightly laughed, "Senior Brother, you know, I've always disliked riddle-like people."
"If there's any problem, you can say it. I'm tired of your overly complicated, 'you don't understand.'"
Having said that, he suddenly stood up, his gentle demeanor suddenly freezing.
"Over these years, our masters and uncles are fighting with that person."
"And you?"
"You admire that person, and are close to his family."
The Holy Master's voice turned cold, his tone slightly rising, "I have every reason to suspect you, your heart is punishable!"
Faced with his junior brother's aggressive questioning,
Mu Tianyi fell silent for a few seconds. Instead of retaliating, he said, "There are many things I don't want to say to you."
"Even if I say it, you may not understand the severity. It was I who faced those rebellious people directly, not you."
Such an answer did not satisfy the Holy Master, who remained confrontational, looking directly at Mu Tianyi, who stood a head taller.
Mu Tianyi suddenly relaxed, saying, "Hearing is false, seeing is true."
"This time, I won't intervene in any of your actions."
Having said that, Mu Tianyi turned to leave.
But the Holy Master was indifferent, saying, "Are you treating me like a pawn?"
"According to you, those rebellious people are not completely extinct."
"They will secretly protect the human race."
"And with the power of the divine realm, we still cannot easily deal with them."
"Today, you made me take action."
"If I succeed in the end, you'll share half the credit!"
"But if I fail..."
The Holy Master paused, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, saying, "It's like when we were kids."
"I made a mistake, and you'll make up for my mistake."
"In the end, our masters will praise you for being sensible and blame me for being foolish."
Isn't that right?"
Faced with his junior brother's sarcasm, the senior brother instead chuckled, "Which time haven't I been punished with you?"
"I will support all your actions."
"Even support you."
"As long as you need."
Having said that, Mu Tianyi left.
The Holy Master stayed in place, his eyes becoming absent.
He had never guessed that the outcome of today's conversation would be like this.
Mu Tianyi's intention was clear.
If my choice is wrong, he will accompany me in my folly to the end, without questioning any right or wrong reasons.
This made him somewhat hesitant to act recklessly.
The Holy Master frowned in confusion, wondering why?
Mu Tianyi is willing to fully support my actions. I should have more confidence. Why am I suddenly hesitant to act?
But the answer is clear.
The Holy Master sat at the stone table, took a deep breath, and used the tea water to write a line of words on the table.
"I fear I will ruin him."
Those with a strong mind dare not face their own inner voices.
Such foolish words, the Holy Master not only dared to think and admit, but also dared to write.
He looked at the line of words, sighed heavily with concern.
It seemed that no matter how many years passed, no matter what realm or position he attained, in front of himself, he was still that clumsy junior brother, unable to even argue with him.
