John must mobilize all available forces.
At this moment, it is apparent to the discerning eye that after the loss of the Insomnia Emperor, the crisis Great Wilderness City faces is not just Horus.
Besides external threats, there are internal worries!
The Dominators hovering outside Great Wilderness City are not mere facades.
They reside in the high skies of Great Wilderness City, and their aim is definitely more than just a friendly visit.
What for?
Perhaps it is past grievances, perhaps present interests, or perhaps other reasons...
But in any case, Great Wilderness City without Dominators is extremely vulnerable.
Even Lin Ke, the backbone, has not returned, which further plunges the hearts of everyone in Great Wilderness City into turmoil.
As the top leader, John knows they must stabilize the situation and cannot fall into chaos!
If they falter, Great Wilderness City will be doomed!
"...Diana, strengthen the court's positions, we can't let illegal activities run rampant."
After finishing the arrangements, John glanced around at Lin Ke's core members.
Then he stood up, moved to the side, kneeled on one knee toward the direction outside the door, and pounded his chest solemnly:
"I vow to defend the glory of Lin Ke to the death, until the stars fall, the world collapses, and the rules are destroyed... and remain unwavering in death."
This is the oath all followers of Lin Ke have made.
At this moment, John reiterating this oath stunned everyone present.
Knicks, having just lost his mother, also left his chair without hesitation, kneeled on one knee toward the door, and made the chest-pounding oath.
Then came Granny Hisai, Watson, Bald Jack...
Everyone, even Diana, who was further back, made the solemn oath.
This is the oath they made when becoming Lin Ke's followers, and now, amidst this crisis, they did not hesitate to make it again.
Even if it might really lead to death, even if Lin Ke is now missing, even if they could have chosen to escape.
Yet, each one of them reaffirmed the oath without hesitation.
Ove, Revin, and others felt both shocked and unsurprised.
They naturally could not make the oath, but their actions were almost identical to the contents of the oath.
Life?
Death?
In the face of certain things, they become insignificant.
...
The followers who never betray...
Lin Ke lifted his head from the pure white space.
Unsure if it was an illusion, he seemed to faintly hear the voices coming from John and the others.
It was the oath of allegiance proclaimed by followers during his childhood.
"Why the sudden oath? What has happened?"
Lin Ke had just concluded his conversation with the Insomnia Emperor and then heard these voices.
Moreover, he understood that this was due to his "leader" bloodline that enabled him to hear it.
Not heard with the ears, but listened to through the bloodline.
Yet, at this moment, the voice of the Insomnia Emperor resurfaced.
"Do you think descendants will remember me?" The voice of the Insomnia Emperor was filled with melancholy: "I cannot foresee Naseng's future fate. Tell me, does Naseng exist or perish?"
Naseng's existence or extinction?
Lin Ke no longer pondered the oath voices from John and the others but instead thought carefully about the Insomnia Emperor's words and replied decisively:
"As long as the Human Race exists, as long as written records remain, the name and deeds of the Insomnia Emperor will surely echo in the history of the Human Race."
If Gula I was the Founder, who, alongside Grand Marshal Azanen and Andrew, established the Human Race's history.
Then the Insomnia Emperor was the Revival Lord.
He expanded the territory of the Gula Kingdom to the Lava Swamp and defeated multiple main planes including Horus.
He suppressed other factions so they couldn't lift their heads and had to bow to the Human Race, even created an era with the most Dominators in the Human Race...
The achievements of the Insomnia Emperor are substantial.
Lin Ke even believed that if the Insomnia Emperor appeared in the Mythical Era, perhaps it would have been him leading the rise of the Human Race. freёwebnovel.com
"Haha, you certainly know how to speak, boy."
The Insomnia Emperor laughed heartily: "Father, Gula I, did you hear that? I have Lin Ke's approval!"
Upon uttering this, one by one, a series of phantom figures surfaced in the pure white space.
From left to right, there were a total of thirty-five figures.
These figures were either elderly, handsome young men, or even a few females.
"Who are you…" Lin Ke was somewhat surprised: "All the Kings from Gula I to the Insomnia Emperor…?"
"That's correct." The Insomnia Emperor's figure was exceedingly grand, with a familiar smile on his face: "The most critical trait among [Kings] is 'legacy,' and I have merged with these old fellows."
"Stop saying such disgusting things." The young man beside the Insomnia Emperor commented seriously with a stern face: "You're hundreds to thousands of years old, yet lack decorum."
The Insomnia Emperor scratched his head, grinned, and then introduced Lin Ke: "This is my father, who died at the hands of the Ice and Snow Goddess of the Eternal Freeze Court, Father! The first thing I did after becoming a Dominator was avenging you!"
It seems that with the appearance of his father, the Insomnia Emperor showed a bit of a prodigal son character.
"You fool, killing the Ice and Snow Goddess affects the Gula Kingdom's border with the Eternal Freeze Court!" The young man glanced at Insomnia disapprovingly, yet his lips couldn't help but curve upward.
"Greetings to the thirty-four kings." Lin Ke naturally knew the history of Gula, before Insomnia appeared, none of these kings met a good end.
Most died in wars for the Human Race, suffering untimely deaths.
For instance, the thirty-fourth king, despite being Dominator Level, was still sealed by the Ice and Snow Goddess, slowly turning from True Spirit to soul to body, all into ice, and then shattered into powder.
But speaking of which, in a sense, the Insomnia Emperor also died on the road of conquest like the other kings.
"The thirty-fourth king is my father, this one is my grandfather whom I've never met, known as the Rose King, who died at the hands of the Holy Life Alliance's Life Deer, losing his essence of rules."
"This is the thirty-second, known as the Abyssal Queen, who perished in a battle with the Sun God, but gained forty years of development for the Human Race." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"This is the thirty-first, the Sandstorm Monarch, who battled the Deep Sea Merfolk King, both dying, asserting peace along the Gula coast; oh, by the way, the Deep Sea Merfolk King is the father of the Prince of Stars."
"This is the thirtieth king of Gula…"
The Insomnia Emperor introduced each one.
These kings, without exception, were all Dominators, each with a unique form, but when speaking the word "Human Race," they all exhibited a sense of solemnity and gravity.
They differed from Insomnia.
Since Gula I till now, at most during Gula I's time, the Human Race had Andrew, Gula I, and Grand Marshal Azanen among its Dominators.
In other times, the Human Race had at most three Dominators, more often two, and instances with only one Dominator were also common.
This is also why the Gula Kingdom has been consistently ranked after the Holy Life Alliance.
The Holy Life Alliance, at the very least, had five Dominators.
However, what about Insomnia's generation?
"The Insomnia Emperor, among us, is the strongest and most outstanding."
Gula I, a man of robust build, spoke with an expression and tone that carried a gentle strength:
"And you, Lin Ke, will ultimately surpass him."
