Chapter 613 - Savior Or Sinner?
"Young Friend, before you leave, can I ask you one last question?" Everlasting Sage voiced out before Jin Rou disappear. Who knows? It might be the last time they would have a talk.
"Ask away." Jin Rou stopped from his tracks and said.
"What do you think the world needs? A savior or a sinner?" Everlasting asked with a serious tone.
Windking heard this and was surprised. Why would the sage ask something like this? Wasn\'t it obvious that the answer would be the savior? After all, many people wanted to be saved. Who would want a sinner in this world?
However, Jin Rou\'s thoughts were different. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "The world needs a sinner who sinned for the sake of the world."
The sage smiled and asked, "Why do you say so?" .
"The world cannot always rely on a hero for them to be saved. There is no savior in the world of cultivation. You yourself is the savior who can save your own. But the world needs someone capable of being sinned to save many. Someone who can be a devil to protect the firmaments." Jin Rou explained his point of view.
"Very well said." Everlasting had a bright smile and clapped his hands, "I expected no less from a person of your level. Let\'s talk again next time if we have the opportunity. But for now, farewell."
"Sure thing." Jin Rou chuckled and left the Neverland together with Windking.
After the duo disappeared, the smile on the sage\'s face disappeared, turning into a cold and detach expression with words he murmured, "I guess that\'s the right answer. The world needs a sinner to be saved."
Afterwards, he closed his eyes and became a statue.

The Wind Gate was so busy in this past few days to prepare for the incoming catastrophe. Each sects and prestigious clans set their most powerful defensive formations and their deadly ones.
When Louise heard that the palace master of Mortal Disaster was here, she hurriedly ran over to give the essential item to cure the ancient tree.
"Little Miss, we can think of that later when we successfully repel the darkness. For now, we have to prepare to fight the looming darkness on our heads." The palace master said. Although the ancient tree\'s life was important, this matter was way more important than it. After all, saving the tree would be useless if the whole Immortal was eaten by darkness, "By the way, where is the Young Master?"
"He has gone for a trip. But I don\'t know where." Louise shook her head, "Perhaps he is helping the Wind Gate to prepare resources and reinforcements."
"I see." The palace master nodded his head, "You stay with me so that when things went down to the worst point, it\'s easier to run away."
Truth be told, when Palace Master Uri received the invitation for a very urgent meeting, he already expected that there must have something that happened that even the strongest Wind Gate couldn\'t do alone. Remember, Wind Gate still had living perfect immortals to mobilize.
And upon hearing the contents during the meeting, he had to admit that things have gone out of control now. He had a decent knowledge about the dark realm on the other side and tasted their power in the past, too.
However, the difference right now was that the whole dark existences were about to invade Immortal! Remember, they couldn\'t do so in the past. Just two or three existences of that place was already hard enough for the heroes of Immortal, yet an entire army of it was about to descend. It\'s menacing and despair-inducing to think of.
In his calculations, they had a rough 30-40% of chance to win this incoming battle. Well, if the overlords and sages joined the fray, then it might go up to 50%. Nevertheless, it was still uncertain whether they would participate or not.
"You don\'t have to worry about it." Louise sighed and smiled, "The Immortal has Young Master under his protection. He says so that he will participate in the battle so everything will just be okay."
It might be a blind confidence on Louise\'s part. But she fully had faith in the young master. After all, she witnessed his exploits and battles all around when she sticked to him. In her heart, no one could ever defeat Jin Rou as he was the strongest of all.
"Well, this..." The palace master didn\'t know what to say. He didn\'t personally know the young master so he still had skepticisms about it. Although the young master could heal the ancient tree, it didn\'t mean that he was strong enough to save the Immortal from those existences.
"Palace Master, you don\'t have to say anything. Just watch the show later." Louise smiled sweetly, "So I\'ll go back now. The young master will probably be home soon and we have to greet him after which."
Then, Louise disappeared out of his sight without waiting for what he wanted to say.
"This girl..." Palace Master Uri was speechless for a moment. The girl had been brazen and brazen now. Nevertheless, he could feel a large improvement on the girl\'s cultivation which was a good thing, "Perhaps it\'s the right choice to make the Little Miss stick with the Young Master."

When Jin Rou and Windking reached Immortal, a day had already passed. The darkness was about to break open the temporal space protecting Immortal from alien invasion.
The clouds turned dark as thunderstorms scattered all around the place. Lightning from all over the places appeared, destroying the land it was hitting. It felt like an impending doom was incoming and no one could stop it.
"Windking, notify your Wind Gate. They\'re about to come." Jin Rou could sense it and immediately told the old man, "In an hour or so, they would break the space and enter Immortal once again."
Windking was stumped to hear this but immediately went off to tell everyone. The time had come, whether the Immortal would survive this catastrophe would be up to their hands.
