Two sharp gazes shot out from Li Zhengzhi’s eyes, like two sharp swords falling on Long Haochen. This immediately stirred Long Haochen’s own spiritual power, and a layer of golden mist naturally overflowed from his body, forming a layer of protective spiritual aura.

Li Zhengzhi smiled slightly and retracted his gaze. “Long Haochen, you must remember that there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world. Although your talent is extremely rare, it is not unprecedented. However, to this day, mankind has never produced a powerhouse who can truly contend with the Demon God Emperor. Do you know why?”

Long Haochen shook his head. “Please tell me, Temple Master.”

Li Zhengzhi said: “Because they don’t understand the meaning of patience.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen’s brain was working at high speed as he listened to Li Zhengzhi’s words, but he still didn’t expect Li Zhengzhi to give such an answer.

“The former Child of Reincarnation and the God of Light Sword were also amazingly talented. They also cultivated to the ninth rank, but the final result was still their fall, and the demons were only slightly contained. In terms of talent, they were definitely not inferior to you, and even surpassed you. For example, the Child of Reincarnation, back then, he dared to challenge the Demon God Emperor at the young age of thirty-six. How confident and powerful was that? In the end, he and the Demon God Emperor were both severely injured. The God of Light Sword was also in a similar situation. Their talents had the potential to lead humanity to launch a major counterattack against the demons, or at least reverse the disadvantage. However, in the end, they all failed due to impatience.”

Looking at the incomprehension in Long Haochen’s eyes, Li Zhengzhi said, “Don’t understand, do you? Well, let’s put it simply. If the Child of Reincarnation had challenged the Demon God Emperor not at the age of thirty-six, but at the age of one hundred and thirty-six, what would have been the situation? If the God of Light Sword had challenged the Demon God Emperor not at the age of forty-something, but at the age of one hundred and forty-something, what would have happened?”

Long Haochen couldn’t help but retort: “But these two predecessors were forced to do so! The demon army was pressing down, and they had no choice but to take action!”

Li Zhengzhi snorted, a hint of disdain showing at the corner of his mouth, “They had the same idea as you, so they ultimately failed to become the true leaders who led humanity to victory over the demons.”

“Since entering the Dark Ages more than six thousand years ago, we have been forced into this corner, and there has never been a moment of true desperation. Yes, the demons will often advance and constantly launch battles. However, you have also dealt with the demons. What do you think of the strength comparison between the Alliance and the demons?”

Long Haochen said in a deep voice, “The demons are led by the seventy-two pillar demon gods, and there are countless powerhouses. Their overall strength is extremely powerful. The Alliance relies on the natural barriers of the six major fortresses and the joint power of the six great temples to barely resist the demons’ attacks. From the perspective of strength comparison, we are indeed inferior to the demons. Of course, I don’t know the true foundation of the Alliance.”

Li Zhengzhi said: “You are being very fair. That’s right, the demons are stronger than us, and they are still stronger than us now. Then, have you ever thought about what the situation was like six thousand years ago? At that time, the demons also had the seventy-two pillar demon gods, and the first generation of demon gods were even the most powerful in overall strength. They were able to force us into this corner. Couldn’t they have completely destroyed us? To tell you the truth, in the history of the Alliance’s confrontation with the demons, the demons had at least a dozen opportunities to completely destroy the Alliance. If the Demon God Emperor had spared no expense, leading the demon army to break through at one point, he would have completely destroyed us long ago. The human inheritance would have ended long ago.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen looked at Li Zhengzhi in surprise, “Temple Master, are you telling the truth? Then why didn’t the demons do that?”

Li Zhengzhi sneered, “Ranching. The demons are ranching us. That’s right, the demons are far stronger than us, but they don’t belong to this world after all. Apart from war and destruction, they know nothing else. If we humans are really extinct, then no one will need to avenge us, and the demons themselves will perish, and they will inevitably perish. Therefore, the demons simply don’t dare to kill us, and they don’t dare to destroy us humans. This is how the six thousand years of the Dark Ages came about. In secret, the demons often make some deals with us. It’s just that the common people don’t know about it.”

“Then what about this Holy War?” Long Haochen still didn’t quite believe Li Zhengzhi’s words.

Li Zhengzhi said faintly: “Holy War? You may be a fuse, but in reality, the root cause of this Holy War is that the demons are afraid. In recent years, the Alliance has grown too fast, exceeding the demons’ expectations. The Demon God Emperor is afraid that our strength will grow too fast, threatening the demons’ rule. At the same time, the number of demons is also too large and needs to be streamlined. That’s why this Holy War broke out. That’s why the six great temples were attacked at the same time, but none of them were ever breached.”

Long Haochen gasped. He vaguely understood what Li Zhengzhi meant.

Li Zhengzhi continued, “In other words, back then, they didn’t encounter any times of crisis. If the God of Light Sword and the Child of Reincarnation, who were so highly talented, could have been patient enough and bided their time until they were absolutely sure, the Alliance wouldn’t be in this state now.”

“You are a smart person, and I believe you can understand what I mean. Of course, I’m not telling you to be a coward within the Alliance. On the contrary, true growth and understanding require constantly challenging the strong and constantly fighting. But remember, try not to do things that you know are impossible.”

Having said this, Li Zhengzhi closed his eyes slightly, leaning back on the sofa, seemingly thinking about something.

Long Haochen respectfully said: “Thank you for your guidance, senior. Hearing your words has enlightened this junior.”

Li Zhengzhi waved his hand and said, “Go. I’m a very competitive person in my life. Although I admire your talent, I will never show mercy to you in the Six Great Temples Ranking Battle. If you want to defeat me, you’re still far away. Five years later will be the new Holy Temple Competition. I hope I don’t see you on the competition field then. Fifteen years later may be the time for you to truly shine.”

Long Haochen slowly stood up, bowed to Li Zhengzhi again, and turned to leave.

Li Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Long Haochen’s steady footsteps as he left, and thought to himself, “A favored child of heaven! I hope he can avoid following in the footsteps of his predecessors.”

Long Haochen really listened to Li Zhengzhi’s words. At the age of twenty this year, he has devoted almost all of his energy in the past ten years to cultivation and fighting with the demons. He doesn’t know much about the internal affairs of the Alliance or the relationship between the Alliance and the demons.

After returning to the Alliance from the Shadow Swamp, especially after he finished his seclusion, Long Tianyin, Sheng Yue, Li Zhengzhi, and other leaders of the Alliance taught him many things he didn’t know before. They were almost all guiding him to move in the right direction. Long Haochen’s thinking has also become more mature.

“Hey.” Just as Long Haochen’s mind was echoing Li Zhengzhi’s words, a call came from his ear.

Long Haochen was startled and subconsciously looked up. He and the person who called him were both stunned.

The person who called him was naturally Tan Wan, Li Zhengzhi’s direct disciple. At this time, Long Haochen had already entered the teleportation array and was about to leave, but he ran into Tan Wan.

In the moment of stagnation, he realized his mistake, because Li Zhengzhi’s words had brought him too many things, so that he forgot to put on his Adamantine Foundation Armor again and walked out. He ran right into Tan Wan.

Tan Wan’s surprise was obvious, naturally because of Long Haochen’s appearance.

“You… are you the one from just now?” Tan Wan looked at Long Haochen’s young and handsome face, her eyes filled with disbelief. In Li Zhengzhi’s office, there were only Li Zhengzhi himself and the acting Holy Knight Commander. Now a stranger she didn’t recognize came out. It was obvious that it wasn’t the teacher, so it was naturally the acting Holy Knight Commander.

As the direct disciple of Li Zhengzhi, the Temple Master of the Magic Temple, and with a beautiful appearance, Tan Wan is almost the dream lover of all young mages in the Magic Temple. There are too many young people who have shown her affection, but she can be sure that no one can compare with the person in front of her in terms of appearance. This is the first time she knows that a man can be so good-looking. Whether it is his figure or his appearance, she can’t find a single flaw in Long Haochen. With her confidence in her appearance, she actually felt a sense of inferiority at this time. Moreover, he looks younger than her!

Long Haochen’s reaction in the next moment has given Tan Wan a definite answer. After realizing his mistake, he immediately released the Adamantine Foundation Armor. Tan Wan watched as the golden armor shimmering with orange-red light quickly covered Long Haochen, and the golden mask also re-covered his face.

“Is it really you?” After a brief stagnation, Tan Wan’s delicate face was already full of shock.

Long Haochen nodded to her, stepped into the teleportation array, and teleported away in the next moment.

Looking at the gradually blurring figure, Tan Wan stopped for a moment, and then ran towards Li Zhengzhi’s office like a fly. Women’s curiosity is stronger than men’s, not to mention that this shock has exceeded her cognitive range.

On the second floor of the Magic Temple, Long Haochen was surprised when he just walked here, because he saw at a glance that Cai’er was actually being held in someone’s arms. When he looked closely, a strong surprise instantly filled his body. He took two steps quickly and shouted loudly: “Sister, Lin Xin.”

Isn’t it? The one who hugged Cai’er was Li Xin, whom Long Haochen hadn’t seen for a long time, and Lin Xin, who had re-grown his dark green long hair, was standing aside, holding Han Yu’s right hand, with an excited look.
