Whether they were Land Gods or unparalleled Grandmasters, at this moment, they all listened in silence. Seeing Di Lintian's grave expression, they knew that this tribulation was not ordinary and feared that it might indeed herald the apocalypse!
"This tribulation will definitely be the strongest tribulation ever. To describe the chaos about to unfold, using metaphors such as the sinking and rising of the land and the suffering of all living beings is by no means an exaggeration. It could even be more severe!"
"Even if the Saintly Great Powers were all to make a move, they still wouldn't be able to suppress it directly!"
"This chaos is a tribulation for all beings. Merely relying on existences of my level would be utterly insufficient to erase it all!"
"Moreover, in the great tribulation, even a character like me would be at risk of falling!" Di Lintian looked down at the heroes and said seriously.
"That's impossible!" Someone expressed their disbelief.
"The realm of coexistence with heaven and earth is that of the Saintly Great Powers, having transcended the Other Shore. Such beings only experience the five declines of man and slowly meet their end through old age. How could they perish out of the blue!"
"Heavens, what kind of tribulation is this exactly!"
When Di Lintian reached this point, the multitude was stirred and all were shocked, seemingly unwilling to believe it.
However, Di Lintian's tone was fierce, not at all as if he were fabricating a lie, which caused a tumultuous reaction among the heroes, a shock they couldn't suppress.
"The only way to overcome this tribulation is for all beings to join forces and fight together, only then is there a slim chance of survival!" Di Lintian said plainly as he watched the heroes.
"This is why I opened my mansion and let you plunder the treasures within. I want you to grow stronger!"
Di Lintian scanned the multitude, his eyes revealed ripples as if entrusting them with hope.
"There were two to three hundred Grandmasters who perished in bloodshed inside my mansion. I did not intervene in their demise at all, for that is the survival of the fittest, the rule of this world!"
"Even if these lands may need them in the future, their fortune was poor, and if they couldn't come out on top, they could only meet their deaths here!"
"The remaining Grandmasters number two hundred and seventeen, these individuals carry the destiny and fate of the heavens. These people encountered fortuitous adventures within the mansion, enabling their strength to soar infinitely, every one of them becoming twice, thrice, or even ten times stronger than when they first entered!"
"But this is far from enough!"
"Chaos is impending, the great tribulation looms large!"
"Land Gods are merely generals and commanders, Martial Arts Grandmasters are just main forces, and Martial Arts Masters are the infantry, the cannon fodder, struggling just to survive!"
"Moreover, if we were to perish, then all the living beings below the heavens would descend into demise, into ruin!"
"Therefore, you must become stronger, surpass the Land Gods, march into the Other Shore! Only if we have several more beings of this stature, can I hope to turn the tide!"
Di Lintian's words were heavy, depicting the tribulation as extremely daunting, casting a gloom over the heroes, some of whom could scarcely imagine what lay ahead.
"Mr. Di, if we were to have another being like you, would we be able to secure victory in the battle?" Ye Chen suddenly said.
"No!" Di Lintian shook his head. "However, having one more great power at the realm of coexistence with heaven and earth would increase our chances of success by ten percent!"
"What about surpassing the realm of coexistence with heaven and earth?" Ye Chen asked again.
"Surpassing the realm of coexistence with heaven and earth should indeed be able to secure victory in the battle!" Di Lintian said.
"With such a terrifying tribulation, when exactly will it descend?" Ye Chen inquired.
"At most a few decades, at least ten or eight years, or maybe even less time!" Di Lintian said.
"Then, I will strive to surpass the realm of coexistence with heaven and earth, the Saintly Great Powers, within these ten or eight years, or even in less time!" Ye Chen declared with boundless confidence.
"..."
Ye Chen's words were bold and spirited, daring to proclaim to Di Lintian that he would surpass him within ten or eight years!
Di Lintian greatly admired the young man's courage and really wanted to praise Ye Chen a few times to encourage him.
However, Di Lintian suddenly realized that Ye Chen was only a peak Grandmaster now and had not yet advanced to be honored among the Nine Dragons.
This discovery made Di Lintian stiffen his face and suppress the urge to praise him; Ye Chen's boasts were so grandiose that he felt embarrassed to flatter him anymore.
In the end, Di Lintian revealed some secrets to the heroes so they could prepare early for the impending catastrophe.
"I have relayed all that I need to, you may now disperse. Whatever treasures you have obtained in the cave, you are free to take with you!"
"The great catastrophe will soon descend, you must all practice diligently, and strive to contribute your strength when confronting the ultimate tribulation!"
After saying everything that needed to be said to the heroes, Di Lintian waved his hand grandly, the Other Shore Heavenly Realm rumbled, and a black hole appeared, connecting to the outside world.
"Mr Di, I am the current leader of the Huaxia Dragon Group. I will take your words seriously and make additional preparations upon my return!" Yun Zheyue addressed Di Lintian.
"Dragon Group!" Di Lintian's eyes lit up. "I remember that over a hundred years ago, the Huaxia Dragon Group had an Other Shore Realm expert, just one step away from living as long as heaven and earth! Alas, that person was not fortunate with fate and failed to break through the realm, dying and vanishing along with his path. Such a pity!"
"That was my father!" Yun Zheyue said.
"Is that so!" Di Lintian said. "Nevertheless, you have considerable talent yourself and you might have hope to ascend to the Other Shore before the deadline arrives."
"Junior will certainly try his best!" Yun Zheyue said.
"Hmm!"
Eventually, Yun Zheyue stepped out of the cave, followed by the island nation's ultimate ninja, Miaojiang's Holy Lord, Yun Xianghan, the Chaos King, and everyone else also left the cave.
However, there was still one person left in the cave, and that was Ye Chen, whom Di Lintian had asked to stay.
Di Lintian stepped down from the stone platform, came to the ground, and looked at Ye Chen with a smile.
"Elder Di, did you keep me here because you want to give me that demonic dragon as a pet?" Ye Chen looked at Di Shitian expectantly.
"No. I want to take good care of this demonic dragon and let it ascend to Other Shore so it can contribute during the great cosmic calamity!" Di Lintian said.
"Then why have you kept me here?" Ye Chen's face swelled with curiosity.
"I want to guide your training!" Di Lintian said earnestly.
"What, you really aren't planning to pass on your technique to me through an initiation?!" Ye Chen exclaimed, excited.
Di Lintian looked at Ye Chen, smiling without saying a word.
…
Eastern seas, as the heroes stepped out of the cave, they scattered quickly, deeply frightened by Di Lintian's words, finding it too much to take in all at once. They all fled home, clinging to their treasures, to slowly digest the events with their wives and children.
"Master, why aren't we leaving yet?" Naimei Xue looked at the island nation's ultimate ninja.
"We're waiting for someone here!" the island nation's ultimate ninja declared solemnly.
"Are you waiting for Ye Chen so you can kill him?!" Naimei Xue exclaimed in shock.
As all the heroes had left the cave, the only person the island nation's ultimate ninja could be waiting for was clearly Ye Chen, who had yet to emerge.
"Now he has recognized an ancestor, and there is another true ancestor hidden in the world, how could I dare to kill him at this time!" the island nation's ultimate ninja stated flatly.
Ye Chen had found a mighty supporter in Di Lintian, with a supreme elder lurking secretly. The island nation's ultimate ninja truly did not dare to kill Ye Chen now.
Moreover, even if the island nation's ultimate ninja staked his life to kill Ye Chen, he might still end up being blasted back by one of the kid's divine talismans or be splashed into confusion by the calamitous rain from that clay jar.
