If the Heavenly Court’s high-end combat forces did not show up, they posed no threat to him at all, even the Four Heavenly Kings were far from enough.
On the light screen, the truth about the Heavenly Court, as investigated by the Book Saint, began to play.
To achieve immortality and eternally rule the Three Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Court had not hesitated to treat the myriad realms as farms, wantonly plundering the Source.
The crowd had initially been conflicted, the Heavenly Court had loomed above their heads for so many years.
This sudden collapse of their idolized image was hard to accept, but upon seeing the Book Saint’s recordings and evidence, they finally realized what atrocities the Heavenly Court had been committing, anger and resentment surged in their hearts.
How could they possibly trust a Heavenly Court like this ever again?
Looking at the anger on their faces, the green-robed old man smiled faintly. "Now, do you still believe I am a demon?"
The crowd remained silent, they began to understand that the green-robed old man was not deceiving them but genuinely revealing the truth of this world.
The Four Heavenly Kings watched with livid expressions, they knew everything was too late.
The situation was irreparable unless they slaughtered everyone here, but so what? The Heavenly Court was already prepared, these people were nothing more than their pigs anyway.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King’s mouth curled into an eerie arc, and he threw his head back in evil, raucous laughter. "Even if all this is true, so what? Do you think the Heavenly Court can be overturned just because you say so? You are nothing but mortals!"
The green-robed old man shook his head. "What does it matter if we are mortals? Today, we mortals shall overturn the heavens! We will restore a bright and clear universe to this world, so the common people no longer suffer the Heavenly Court’s exploitation!"
"The Heavenly Court has lost its reason for existence, we need a new order, a true order that serves the people!" He spoke slowly, but his words carried immense power.
A new strength surged in the crowd’s hearts, they understood that what the Human Saint was doing was for them, for the entire Human race, though still lost and uneasy, they knew they could no longer remain silent, they needed to stand up and fight for their own rights and dignity.
"Overthrow the Heavenly Court!"
"Overthrow the Heavenly Court!"
"Overthrow the Heavenly Court!"
One by one, they raised their arms and shouted, their voices shook the heavens and moved the earth, echoing like rolling thunder above Mount Dragonpeak.
Suddenly, a figure descended heavily from the sky, the entire summit shattered, cracks spreading everywhere.
The instant Adam saw that figure, he pulled out a pre-prepared formation disc, enveloping himself and Cecilia, although this could not block that person’s Heaven’s Eye, the formation would alter his subconscious, making it so he would not actively look their way.
If the other party was absolutely determined to look, it could not stop him. But with so many people here, he probably would not.
"How insolent!"
"How insolent of you all!"
An authoritative voice rang out.
The figure’s silver armor gleamed with chilling light, and the three-pointed double-edged lance in his hand exuded a truly terrifying aura.
No one dared to speak, they trembled all over, that aura was simply too overwhelming.
Landing before the green-robed old man, the figure was none other than Yang Jian.
Yang Jian looked at him coldly. "Human Saint, is it really worth it? You have already reached such a realm, if you join my Heavenly Court, you will live for countless ages!"
The green-robed old man replied calmly. "I know perfectly well whether it’s worth it, Yang Jian, you are a sensible person, you and that child still have a chance to turn back, will you really not reconsider?" the Human Saint sighed.
"There is no turning back, the moment the Heavenly Court made its decision, all paths back were severed!" Yang Jian raised his lance, pointing it at the green-robed old man and the crowd.
"The Heavenly Edict decrees, in one month, a world cleansing will commence, those who surrender will be spared!"
His words plunged everyone into absolute silence.
The Great Cleansing was undeniably a massive threat, they knew that once the Heavenly Court took action, the entire Three Thousand Worlds would be cast into a storm of blood and carnage.
The green-robed old man looked at Yang Jian, disappointment flashing in his eyes. "Yang Jian, you were once a hero of humanity, now you have become an accomplice to the Heavenly Court, do you really think we are that foolish? Will the Heavenly Court actually spare those who have resisted them?"
Yang Jian was silent for a moment. "Human Saint, I admit your ideals are noble, but reality is cruel, the Heavenly Court’s power is beyond your imagination, you stand no chance against them."
The green-robed old man shook his head. "Yang Jian, you’re wrong, we aren’t trying to fight the entire Heavenly Court, we merely want to bring justice back to this world, we want everyone to enjoy freedom and equality, to have the basic right to live rather than serving as nourishment for your Heavenly Court."
"If the Heavenly Court truly served the people, we wouldn’t rebel."
Yang Jian’s eyes remained indifferent. "Human Saint, what do you think the meaning of the world is? From Pangu creating the universe to Hongjun preaching the Dao, everything seems under control."
"But the original world was devoid of anything, even if we came into existence later, to this world, we are no different from a grain of sand or a blade of grass!"
"Even if we destroy this world, it holds absolutely no meaning to the world itself!"
"So let me ask you, aside from keeping myself alive, what meaning does the world hold for me?"
The Human Saint frowned. "Yang Jian, you must remember, you are a human first, and then a god, the world inherently needs to have meaning, and it is humanity that gives it meaning!"
"No, I have become a god, so I am a god, my very existence is meaning!"
The Human Saint sighed and said no more, he knew there was no longer any point in trying to persuade Yang Jian.
