Chapter 1310: The Goddess Statue

This group of leftover Handa Alliance members was so harmonious that it made him feel like he was back in peaceful times.

Well, since the control curse they were under had disappeared, that meant Aike was no more.

Alright, let’s pop the champagne!

But there was still one important question—how to get back?

There’s no way I’m joining them for a national banquet celebration, right?

Could we sit at the kids’ table instead?

Lin Nuo looked at the two junior martial sisters with their spirit wands in hand and cloaks billowing, their expressions dignified. They probably had lost several family members already, so they could brush off the chaos around them.

He had to ask them, but hopes were dim.

“Do you have a way to send us back to the human realm?” Lin Nuo inquired.

“Human realm…? Sorry, we can’t do that. Aike and Han Zhe have been trying to open a passage to the human realm, but they’ve had no luck. We do have some souls that could be sent back, but they need a vessel in the human realm, and your bodies are left here.”

“Forget it.”

Lin Nuo sighed, abandoning the thought of needing a vessel to return. Find a corpse to possess?

What if those women didn’t even recognize me when I got back? Even if they did, how would it feel to betray myself?

The bull-headed man and pure love would be brought to tears.

“Then can you take us to the crossroads of the three realms? There’s someone there who can send us back to the human realm.”

“Are those humans? Four girls from the human world?” the demon master stroked his beard and asked.

“Yes! So you’ve seen them?” Lin Nuo continued to inquire.

“Yes, I returned from there two days ago.”

“What? Two days ago?”

Lin Nuo was shocked. Wait, so two days have actually passed?

He turned to Su Kexin and asked, “I say, Junior Sister, have we been lying here for two days?”

“Not really. After I woke up, you were in a coma for a day before waking up. It hasn’t been two days.”

“You woke up a day after me, so is it possible you were in a coma for a day?”

“Oh! Right! I might have been unconscious for a day, so adding that up…”

Su Kexin even counted on her fingers before realizing:

“That means you were in a coma for one day plus another day!”

“Did you really need to think that long for one plus one?”

Lin Nuo was left speechless by Su Kexin, not knowing whether to call her cute or silly.

With that brain of yours, I could trick you into multiple beds.

If I were unconscious for two days, a demonic wolf would have whisked me away.

“Where are they? Take me to see them,” Lin Nuo insisted.

“They’ve gone back to the human realm.”

“What? I didn’t even get on the bus!”

Wait, did I get abandoned? They left the station before I could board.

It’s like I built my own starship, but the captain didn’t even get on.

“Yes. Aike’s rampage caused spatial turbulence, and the region at the crossroads of the three realms began to vanish. They were forced to leave and return to the human realm. We were also compelled to come back from there. If we hadn’t, we would have been lost in the shattered space, which is far worse than death. At this point, the entire area is likely shattered, and you can’t go there anymore.”

“So how do I get back to the human realm?”

“This matter… I’m sorry, but it’s really beyond what I can know…”

That completely touched upon the knowledge blind spots of the two masters. Great, now the crossroads of the three realms is gone, and there’s no way back.

Barbecue.

“Where’s the crack leading to the human realm? I’ll pry it open and go back.”

Lin Nuo suddenly remembered this detail. Back in the day, he wanted to seal it, but now he was considering prying it open.

Ultimately, he had become the person he despised.

“Uh… I still advise against that. Aike has already caused spatial chaos. The three realms’ intersection is gone. If a passage from the human realm to the demon realm is opened, it’s hard to imagine what kind of disaster may occur; it could lead to destruction for beings of both realms.”

The demon master persuaded him. This was not a trivial matter; it could mean all of them dying together.

“Senior Brother, it’s better not to take the risk… What if it really happens, then everyone in the human realm will die, including our mothers…”

Su Kexin pulled Lin Nuo’s hand, trying to convince him. Now it was too late; she could only stay here with Lin Nuo.

She had become the main wife.

There was no choice; that’s just how reality was.

“Miss, did you come from the Sacred Realm to the human realm?”

The Sacred Master had been observing Su Kexin for a while before finally asking.

Su Kexin pouted and shook her head slightly:

“Actually, I’m not sure. But there was indeed an ambassador from the Sacred Realm who went to the human realm, claiming I could seal the crack between the realms, but then he died. From his words, I guess I must be related to the Sacred Realm? I’m not certain. But I am now a person, the future wife of Senior Brother.”

“Do you mind coming with me? Because there are legends about the Sacred Realm that may be related to you.”

“Well, you have to ask Senior Brother. Wherever I go, I follow Senior Brother.”

Su Kexin was determined to practice obedience and virtue, making sure to be a good bride in the future.

“Can demons go too? Those places in the Sacred Realm, I’d cough if I went.”

Lin Nuo complained. Without a resistance chain, he’d be in trouble; going directly now would mean slow death.

“It’s fine; I can cast a spell. At least, it won’t be a problem before you return.”

The Sacred Master said, and Lin Nuo’s first thought was whether it could be a trap.

Even if it were a trap, what could happen?

There’s no way back, it’s already this messy, what more could occur?

“If it’s okay, let’s go. Is there any procedure I need to follow?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Just follow me.”

With that, the Sacred Master drew a formation on the ground, exuding spiritual light.

Both the demon masters and Sacred Masters could use some sort of teleportation spell, but it took time to cast the spell, meaning they couldn’t teleport instantly.

“Alright, just follow me; it won’t delay you too long.”

The Sacred Master declared before leading the way inside.

“Senior Brother?”

“Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo took Su Kexin’s hand and followed him inside. Soon, accompanied by a flash of spiritual light, the world before them turned white, and they disappeared.

……

……

“Where is this?”

Su Kexin found herself entering an ancient temple, feeling quite confused.

“This is the temple of the deities of the Sacred Realm; I’ve no idea how long it’s been. This is a place to commemorate the deities.”

“Deities? Is this some kind of superstitious worship?”

Lin Nuo quickly realized that this was just a place to worship gods.

Light a few incense sticks, burn some paper, pour some wine, make a few wishes, and then they could feast on the offerings.

Good villages could even host banquets.

So this place had similar customs?

“What do you mean?”

The Sacred Master wasn’t quite understanding Lin Nuo’s words.

“Nothing, just that it’s a place you believe in.”

Different languages led to misunderstandings.

“Yes, it is a place of faith. Of course, it has been a long time, and most of it is legendary now, and there’s no way to verify these deities. But there is one that truly existed.”

At this moment, the Sacred Master pointed to a goddess statue that held a longsword, radiant and imposing.

“She was our guardian deity. We used to call her the Goddess of War, Ling Qi,” the Sacred Master said.

“Your war god is a woman? I thought all goddesses were mages,” Lin Nuo remarked as he stepped closer to the goddess statue.
