Chapter 1449: An Lin’s Death

The epic battle finally drew to a conclusion.

The death timers disappeared from the minds of over a hundred million snow maidens.

All of the timers had disappeared following the death of the Heavenly Time God.

However, none of the snow maidens were in a mood to celebrate. Their savior, An Lin, had died, their Great Empress had died, and their revered High Priestess Meng Zhi and High Priestess-in-waiting Shangguan Yi had died.

Oh, right, and the Celestial Thearch had died as well.

The Heavenly Time God had perished, but she had taken away a lot of important people with her.

All of the snow maidens fell into a grief-stricken silence.

Yan Hua stood amid the wreckage and raised her head to the empty sky with tears welling up in her eyes. “An Lin! Hurry up and come back! You have to inherit the riches of over a hundred million snow maidens!”

Her voice echoed between heaven and earth but received no reply.

Tears flowed down her face. “This offer won’t stand any longer if you don’t come back soon…”

However, she continued to receive no response.

All of the other snow maidens looked at the Holy Palace Leaders with grief-stricken expressions on their faces.

“By the way, why is Palace Leader Yan Hua calling for An Lin and not for our Great Empress?” a snow maiden suddenly asked.

All of the snow maidens: “…”

One of the elder snow maidens provided an explanation, “That’s because An Lin is not a snow maiden, but he still stepped up and gave his life in order to save us! He is a hero of our race, and we should always respect and remember him!”

Profound respect and admiration welled up in the hearts of all of the snow maidens upon hearing this.

The snow maiden who had doubted Yan Hua was extremely ashamed of her words, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I’m so sorry. I should never have misunderstood Palace Leader Yan Hua. I’m not worthy of Sect Leader An Lin’s salvation, waah…”

Rou Gu, Su Jingxiang, and the other Palace Leaders also made their way over to Yan Hua to comfort her.

Yan Hua was normally quite a strong and abrasive character, but she had broken down into tears. “They’ll come back, won’t they? It’s just like how we were once sucked into the Thousand-Year Sword, there will be someone to save them, right?”

“Yes, you’re right, Sister Hua. Please don’t be so sad,” Su Jingxiang consoled her with a sympathetic expression.

All of them knew that the Thousand-Year Sword was just a technique, so there was no way it could compare to a self-detonation from the Heavenly Time God.

They couldn’t say for sure that An Lin and the others were being trapped elsewhere or not. Perhaps they had all been blasted into nothingness already.

Perhaps they would never know.

However, everyone would rather believe Yan Hua’s speculation, even if it was just so that they could lie to themselves.

Within the imperial palace of the Heavenly Court.

The four emperors were all stunned as the Celestial Thearch’s jade badge had suddenly cracked.

At the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

When Xu Xiaolan caught sight of a snowy-white furball in the Flame Pavilion, a radiant and enchanting smile appeared on her face.

“Little Tian, you’re finally back. An Lin was saying that he was going to look for you. Did he not come back with you?”

“Waah… Xu Xiaolan… Master… Master died!” Xue Zhantian flew into Xu Xiaolan’s arms and howled tearfully.

Xu Xiaolan faltered initially before gently caressing Xue Zhantian’s soft, warm fur with a smile. “Don’t make jokes like that. An Lin is the number one miracle man under the heavens. How could he be killed when even the Heavenly Wind God couldn’t defeat him?”

“But it’s true! I saw it with my very own eyes. His opponent was a Heavenly God who could control the power of time. She self-detonated and killed Master, the Celestial Thearch, and the Great Empress… Ahhh!”

Xue Zhantian was blasted back. He crashed through the roof of the Flame Pavilion like a cannonball before he even had a chance to finish his sentence.

Xu Xiaolan’s enraged roar reverberated throughout heaven and earth.

“Shut up and get out!”

…

News of the Celestial Thearch and An Lin’s deaths soon began to spread.

The snow maidens held funerals for the Great Empress, Meng Zhi, and Shangguan Yi.

At the same time, lavish funerals were held for the Celestial Thearch, An Lin, and Chen Chen.

These funerals created a massive stir throughout the entire Tai Chu Continent.

An event of this caliber had not taken place for countless years, which was why it was so shocking to everyone on the entire continent.

Some people were in disbelief, some were sobbing with tears, and there were also some who were fearing for the future of the world.

If this incident had indeed taken place, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the human race and the snow maidens.

Only the snow maidens had made an announcement, while the Heavenly Court and the Four Nine Immortal Sect all chose to remain silent. No one dared to believe that the exceptional prodigy who had become a household name in just a few short years and the emperor who had ruled over the entire Kingdom of the Nine States for countless years would just die like this.

However, all of the speculations ended after a month.

One month later.

The Heavenly Court announced funerals for both the Celestial Thearch and the Heavenly Court War God, An Lin!

The entire continent was shaken by this announcement!

The Heavenly Court had made an official announcement of the deaths of the Celestial Thearch and An Lin, and the Tai Chu Continent was truly in shock.

Countless mighty figures from all over the continent came to mourn at their funerals.

There were representatives from the Hall of Creation, the Western Paradise, the Holy Paradise, the Dragon Court, the Opposite Shore Realm, the Spirit Lake Realm, the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, and many other powers.

However, no representatives arrived from the West Sea Alliance and the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

The Four Nine Immortal Sect still refused to believe that their sect leader had fallen.

Everyone only treated this as blind stubbornness and did not take it to heart.

Soon after that, the higher-ups among the snow maidens announced that the entire snow maiden race was going to become subordinates of the Four Nine Immortal Sect and listen to the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s commands from now on!

This announcement caused another huge sensation across the continent.

A domino effect seemed to have been triggered, and one massive event was happening after another.

Many of the living beings were only shocked by the deaths of these legendary figures. However, the super mighty figures who stood at the pinnacle of this continent detected a hint of lethal danger from this incident.

Within the darkness.

After what felt like an eternity.

A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

“An Lin… An Lin…”

An Lin’s senses slowly returned.

A sense of deja vu made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and he immediately sat bolt upright.

“I don’t want to drink medicine! I WON’T drink medicine!”

Bam!

“Ow!”

An Lin felt as if his head had crashed into something.

He immediately opened his eyes to discover Shangguan Yi holding her nose and looking at him with a sulky expression.

“Er… sorry…” Only now did An Lin realize that he had sat up too abruptly and crashed into Shangguan Yi’s nose.

“That’s alright…” Shangguan Yi rubbed her nose as a hint of curiosity appeared on her face. “What were you saying about taking medicine?”

An awkward smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Nothing, I was just having a nightmare…”

He looked at the exquisitely beautiful woman before him, and memories of the battle against the Heavenly Time God came flooding back into his mind…

He was slightly elated. “I really didn’t think that we would still be alive.”

“Well, our current situation isn’t much better than being dead. Look around you,” Shangguan Yi said.

An Lin looked around upon hearing this, and his pupils gradually contracted with shock. “Holy f*ck! What the hell is this place?!”
