Chapter 422

"Don’t worry. I’ve already shielded the mark, the Heavenly Court won’t catch up for now, however, as for the other villagers, I am powerless to help right now." Adam sighed, relying on his strength alone to fight the Heavenly Court of this world was simply too difficult.

In the previous world, he had the Book Saint, here, he was completely alone, he could not even trust the resistance organization, what a hellish start.

"Senior, it doesn’t matter, my village is not full of cowards who cling to life and fear death, if they know I killed five of the Heavenly Court’s hunting dogs, they will be overjoyed." Lyra forced a smile, killing five lackeys was merely the beginning, later, even more compatriots would attempt to resist.

The Heavenly Court’s operatives were not invincible, just like mortals, they could bleed and die, Lyra believed their sacrifices had value.

"Senior, what do we do next?" She asked immediately after.

"I need secluded cultivation for a period, and then I’ll find an exit to leave this world." Adam had been at the Seventh Heaven of the Deity Realm for a long time, he felt that as long as he wanted, he could immediately break through to the Eighth Heaven and possess stronger combat capability.

"Leave this world?" Lyra was slightly startled, and then disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"Senior, this world has been completely sealed off, aside from the Heavenly Court’s entrances and exits, it’s impossible to leave."

Adam frowned, he knew leaving would be difficult and was mentally prepared, he just had not expected this world to be exactly the same as the last, with all avenues of departure blockaded.

This was a massive obstacle, he had harbored some unrealistic hopes, now, those were completely dashed, would he have to use the old method? Have someone summon the Evil God and make a deal?

"Don’t worry, there will be a way." Adam comforted her, one could not live without hope.

"This world cannot be controlled by the Heavenly Court forever, as long as people are willing to resist, a breakthrough will be found."

Lyra nodded, although she knew leaving was likely hopeless, his words gave her a sliver of hope, she decided to fully support him, even if they could not leave, she was willing to fight alongside him until the last moment.

In the following days, Adam began secluded cultivation, not long after sitting cross-legged, he broke through to the Eighth Heaven of the Deity Realm, it was incredibly smooth, like a loach slipping through a mud hole, without the slightest obstruction, furthermore, he felt a faint trend pushing him toward the Ninth Heaven.

Adam was shocked, he had anticipated that the Eighth Heaven would be easy, but reaching the Ninth Heaven this quickly? He had not expected that, although by the end of seclusion he did not actually break through, he knew the Ninth Heaven was not far off.

Adam walked out from the formation he had set up.

"Senior, you are actually so young!" Lyra’s voice cried out in surprise.

Only then did Adam realize he had forgotten to conceal his figure, it did not matter, Lyra was on his side. "Mm, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I just didn’t expect the senior to be a young lad." Lyra studied him, she had imagined an old man, or perhaps someone in Daoist robes, looking like an immortal saint, she had not expected an elegant and handsome young man.

Adam froze for a moment, right, this body is very young, yet he had already experienced so much.

"Alright, that’s not important, right now, we need to find a way to leave this world." He shook his head, dropping the subject.

"Okay, Senior, but I might not leave with you, I want to stay here, I want to live and die with my world." Lyra gave a sweet smile, she would not stop him from leaving, that was his freedom, but she wanted to stay, this was her homeland.

Adam frowned and looked at her, only then did he realize Lyra was actually very beautiful, she was not old either, twenty-five at most, in his previous life, she would absolutely be a goddess-like existence enjoying her youth.

But here, everyone was exhausted from running for their lives, no one cared about how to truly live.

Under the Heavenly Court’s oppression, just surviving was already incredibly difficult.

Adam sighed, as they walked, he said, "Outside this world, there is the Mysterious Yellow Great World..."

He told her about the alliance organizing to overthrow the Heavenly Court, he hoped Lyra would not give up, and he hoped this world would not either, countless other worlds suffered under the same oppression, but people had finally begun to fight back.

Lyra listened quietly, an unprecedented light shining in her eyes, she felt as if she were seeing a brand-new world, filled with hope and possibilities.

"Senior, is what you’re saying true?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"Of course." Adam nodded, he understood her state of mind, it was just like his when he first heard the news, filled with shock and excitement.

"Then... does our world also have the possibility to overthrow the Heavenly Court, just like them?" Her voice brimmed with anticipation.

Adam looked at her, took a deep breath, and slowly nodded. "As long as people are willing to stand up, as long as people are willing to resist, it is possible."

"The Heavenly Court isn’t as overwhelmingly powerful as you imagine."

Determination crossed Lyra’s eyes, she knew she could not give up, she wanted to fill her world with hope and light too.

"Senior, I will." Her voice was firm and powerful.

"I will find people willing to fight back, and I will make this world stand up and resist the Heavenly Court."

Adam looked at her with a hint of gratification, it seemed he had planted the seed of leadership within this young girl.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, that was right.

Besides the Mysterious Yellow Great World, there were countless other worlds suffering under the Heavenly Court’s oppression, they definitely wanted to fight back too.
