CHAPTER 697: 156, HUMAN CLAN_2

"""

The surrounding mist showed no change.

There was no immense pain from lying, which proved she was telling the truth.

Within the illusion realm, the people were momentarily stunned.

Just now, they heard the Divine Dream Envoy condemn the Blood Demon Dao for its heinous crimes, thinking that it used human blood for cultivation, and believing that this woman deliberately resurrected the extinct Blood Demon Dao to bring calamity upon the world.

But now it seemed, could they have been mistaken?

In this true dream realm, lying was impossible!

Listening in this way, the Blood Sea Saint Mother, a beauty beyond imagination, did not seem to be as sinful as they had thought?

"Secondly, I did destroy the Qinglian Temple, the Buddhist sect’s holy land, two hundred and seventy years ago, but Qinglian Temple was the true den of sin and corruption!"

The Blood Sea Saint Mother spoke in a low tone, "What accumulation of virtue and benevolence, what universal salvation, were merely deception by Qinglian Temple on the world. The two Bodhisattvas within Qinglian Temple secretly colluded with the Demon Refining Sect. My entire family died because of this, so I cultivated the Blood Demon Dao for revenge."

The mist remained unchanged, indicating this was also true.

Hearing this, the people finally understood that there was such an inside story?

Actually, within the high ranks of the Buddhist sect, this matter was no longer a big secret, but because it concerned the sect’s repute, it could not be publicly disclosed.

Lin Yue laughed.

He knew that what the Blood Sea Saint Mother said was not the full truth.

Back then, when she drowned Qinglian Temple with the Blood Sea, the temple was indeed a den of sin, but it was not devoid of innocents. Because those people were indifferent, even those who helped her died, so she spared nothing to drown Qinglian Temple.

But if she wanted to win sympathy from the people now, she naturally wouldn’t tell the whole truth.

Lin Yue didn’t find this despicable.

He didn’t even find it despicable for the Demon Clan to do so.

If it were possible to annihilate the Demon Clan, the Human Clan would do the same, even more unscrupulously.

This was a life-and-death tribal war, irrelevant to right and wrong.

"Thirdly, although my Blood Demon Dao accepts cultivators from all over the world, regardless of good or evil, it may not be a bad thing. Every cultivator who practices the Blood Demon Dao must come to the Blood Sea to worship me, which, in turn, serves as a restraint for them and can reduce the evildoers in the world."

"Fourth..."

"Fifth..."

The Blood Sea Saint Mother’s voice was gentle, her gaze compassionate, even if what she said were lies, she could make the majority believe her.

Not to mention, in this true dream realm... one could only tell the truth!

This meant that what she said must be true, how could the world not believe it?

Behind each seemingly heinous charge lay another unexpected truth.

Gradually...

The image of the Blood Sea Saint Mother in the minds of the people changed into one of a tragic, yet resilient and independent figure, who, after avenging herself upon the deceitful Buddhist sect, still thought for the world by gathering all evildoers in the Blood Sea under her control—a figure worthy of admiration and respect.

The face of the Divine Dream Envoy, shrouded in mist, showed no change in emotion, but only he knew how he truly felt.

In the end, the Blood Sea Saint Mother looked again at the Divine Dream Envoy and said, "Furthermore, let the people understand that though this Divine Dream Envoy speaks the truth, it is not necessarily the facts."

She slowly spoke, "If I didn’t have the right to defend myself today, I would have been misled by this Divine Dream Envoy into becoming a heinous villain like the Green Lamp Sect Hierarch and others."

The mortals of the world began to waver at this moment.

This Divine Dream Envoy, who upheld justice and eradicated hazards for the world, was misleading the people?

The Divine Dream Envoy spoke the truth when he said this was the Human Clan’s world and aimed to restore a clear sky for them.

But the Blood Sea Saint Mother also spoke the truth, saying the Divine Dream Envoy’s words were not factual.

Could it be the Divine Dream Envoy truly had an ulterior motive?

The Divine Dream Envoy watched the Blood Sea Saint Mother quietly as if unmoved.

He stated calmly, "What I said was the truth, it’s just... some truths need not be spoken. Is everything you said the whole truth? To me, someone who kills innocents indiscriminately like you is a sinful demon."

Lin Yue slightly squinted his eyes.

He had already predicted the Divine Dream Envoy would speak in this manner.

But...

"Are you here to punish the malicious?"

The Blood Sea Saint Mother retorted coldly, "Your intentions are clear in clearing out Great Yong’s strongmen, what are you truly? Do you dare to reveal it?"

Now, having the right to speak was her most crucial weapon!

"What right does a demon like you have to question me?" The Divine Dream Envoy replied coldly, "You only need to know that I was chosen by the real dream realm as the Divine Dream Envoy, coming to rescue the world’s populace, and that is enough."

Within the illusion realm, the world’s mortals were somewhat bewildered.

Both of them spoke the truth, but whom should they trust?

Just then—

"She may not qualify, but does this palace have the right?"

At that moment, an indifferent, omnipresent voice like the vastness of the Heavenly Dome suddenly resounded.

It didn’t echo within the true dream realm; instead, it instantaneously reverberated throughout the Great Yong Kingdom, in the mind of every inhabitant!

Countless people were shocked by this voice that seemed to originate from the supreme heights of the Heavenly Dome.

Had the heavens spoken?

Even within the dream realm, they still heard it?

The face of the Divine Dream Envoy beneath the mist slightly changed.

The other Saint-level experts within the dream realm instantly understood who the voice’s owner was!

"I am the Crown Prince of Great Yong, exercising the Divine Emperor’s heavenly might, announcing to the countless people of Great Yong."

That vast voice echoed once more throughout every corner of Great Yong’s territory.

The mortals of the world now realized it was the Crown Prince!

The God Emperor banished Eternal Night and established the immortal Great Yong dynasty, an unbelievable myth long revered by countless citizens as the only True God.

And the Crown Prince had managed the world on behalf of the Divine Emperor for over a thousand years, seen by countless Great Yong citizens as the person closest to the Divine Emperor. Now, as his heavenly voice resounded, who would dare not believe?

"The Demon Clan is our Human Clan’s mortal enemy."

The Crown Prince’s voice boomed through the heavens and earth, "Beyond the borders of our Great Yong Kingdom is Eternal Night, where the Demon Clan runs rampant. For a thousand years, they have never given up their intention to destroy the Human Clan. This so-called true dream realm stems from the Demon Clan. My Great Yong citizens must not be deceived by the Demon Clan and harm themselves, this is also what the Divine Emperor hopes!"

As the Crown Prince’s voice, vast as the heavens, echoed through Great Yong, everyone in the true dream realm seemed to awaken.

Many had only heard of the Demon Clan but didn’t know what they truly were or the conflicts between the Human Clan and Demon Clan.

But the Great Yong citizens worshiped the Divine Emperor!

Even without the Blood Sea Saint Mother case as an example, Great Yong citizens would still trust the Divine Emperor over anyone, even if the Divine Dream Envoy spoke the truth, they would still trust the Divine Emperor!

Because the Divine Emperor had genuinely saved the Human Clan!

Perhaps it would take a longer time to believe the Divine Dream Envoy was also here to save the Human Clan.

Moreover!

Now with the Blood Sea Saint Mother as an example, it was clear the Divine Dream Envoy had not clarified the facts and was trying to purge the Human Clan’s power!

Could what the Divine Dream Envoy did be a conspiracy from the Demon Clan?

"The Crown Prince has spoken?"

The Divine Dream Envoy muttered, "Does the Crown Prince consider this a Demon Clan conspiracy?"

The Crown Prince’s indifferent voice rang out, "If so, face the people and answer the Blood Sea Saint Mother’s question directly. She cannot lie, and neither can you. If you evade, then it is an admission."

The Divine Dream Envoy remained silent.

"Very well, revealing the truth in public."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slowly, watching the Divine Dream Envoy, "For the sake of the people’s hearts, even this Demon God must answer directly..."

At this point, the Blood Sea Saint Mother immediately followed the plan, asking, "A Proving cultivator can only become the Divine Dream Envoy in this true dream realm; are you a member of the Demon Clan?"

This was a completely straightforward line of questioning.

If he avoided answering, he was a member of the Demon Clan—how could he let the Great Yong citizens believe otherwise?

The Divine Dream Envoy looked at her, paused in silence, and calmly replied, "I’ve said, I’m here for the Human Clan, how could I be from the Demon Clan?"

He stated word by word, "I am Human."
