Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Prophesying the Future! (Fourth Update)

The Prophet appeared to be very old, his face full of wrinkles, his complexion dull, surrounded by a twilight air all over.

“There’s no need for me to say who I am, right?” Ye Qiu said slowly.

“The one who angered God,” the Prophet said.

“I didn’t expect your Atlantis to also become God’s tool. It seems you want to kill me because of God’s orders?” Ye Qiu replied.

“Your existence will lead to the destruction of the entire Earth. I sent people to kill you to save all beings.”

“I, Ye, have no enmity with your Atlantis, yet you say I will cause Earth’s destruction? That’s ridiculous.” If it weren’t for Mei Huiling’s sake, he wouldn’t have bothered talking to them at all, but would have directly killed this Prophet.

“I used my lifespan to glimpse a corner of the future, and Earth’s path to destruction is precisely because of your existence,” the Prophet said.

“Prophet, why waste time talking to him? He’s entered our domain, just destroy him, and Earth won’t be destroyed. Our world can continue,” the girl beside the Prophet said.

“Yes, kill him! He killed our people, he deserves death.”

The calls to eliminate Ye Qiu kept rising, as many Atlantean humans looked at Ye Qiu with murder in their eyes.

The Prophet reached out and shook his head, “It’s too late, no one here can match him.”

“What…”

Upon hearing the Prophet’s words, the others were all stunned.

“Prophet, though our martial power cannot defeat him, we possess invincible technology. If we unite, we can definitely kill him,” someone insisted.

“Yes, can our entire civilization not handle one human?”

The Prophet shook his head and looked at everyone, “If he hadn’t found his way here, we might have stood a chance, but now, it’s too late for anything.”

Ye Qiu frowned, feeling like he had suddenly become a demon.

“You all should disperse, he won’t kill anyone.”

“Prophet, we can’t leave, he’s a human skilled in martial arts. If we leave, you’ll be in danger,” the people around refused to disperse.

The Prophet’s face showed a hint of anger, “Must my words be ignored as well?”

Seeing the Prophet angry, the surrounding people slowly retreated. The Prophet reached out and said, “Mr. Ye, I know you have no intention to kill. Since you’ve found your way here, come with me and I will answer all your questions.”

The initially tense atmosphere suddenly changed, and the Prophet even invited Ye Qiu onto a flying saucer.

Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate but remained alert, after all, this Prophet might be a very old monster.

However, he acted calmly, stepping into the flying saucer one step at a time.

The flying saucer launched and landed on an aerial structure.

The Prophet invited Ye Qiu to disembark.

Ye Qiu showed a hint of surprise, as this turned out to be a floating city.

“You came here this time to ask me some questions, didn’t you? You can start now,” the Prophet said after sitting down.

Ye Qiu was a bit surprised, not expecting the other to be even more relaxed than himself, yet the Prophet was right; Ye Qiu indeed wanted to ask some questions.

As for the killing intent he had emitted earlier, it was merely to intimidate and force the Prophet out.

Ye Qiu wasn’t in the habit of killing innocents.

Beside the Prophet were a few people, afraid Ye Qiu might suddenly attack, so they stayed close, Ye Qiu glanced at these people, especially the girl who constantly glared at him, feeling she was unusual.

The Prophet noticed Ye Qiu hadn’t spoken yet, and said to the remaining few, “You should leave as well.”

“Grandfather…” the girl didn’t want to leave.

“Go on.”

The Prophet showed anger once again, the little girl glared at Ye Qiu, snorted, and then retreated.

Immediately, only Ye Qiu and the Prophet were left, and the air became much quieter.

Ye Qiu fiddled with the flowers in front of him, slowly turned around, found a chair, sat down, and said, “What’s the real reason you want to kill me?”

“You’re not God’s subordinate, why seek to oppose me?”

Ye Qiu said slowly, just moments ago, his spiritual power had entered the Prophet’s mind and didn’t find the shadow of God.

“Because I saw many people die because of you in the future, even Earth heading towards destruction, so I sent people to kill you as self-preservation. As long as you’re dead, everything in the future will change,” the Prophet replied.

“You can see the future?” Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right, seeing the future is an ability unique to us Prophets. I spent fifty years of my life to see a corner of the future, diagnosing Atlantis’ fate, only to find your existence will lead my race into the abyss.”

“I never believe in fate, nor do I care how the future will turn out. Since you’ve concluded I’ll lead your people to death, why not act against me? Even if your technology can’t kill me, it could harm me.”

With Atlantis’ level of technology far surpassing Earth’s for many years, even if Ye Qiu reached the rank of a martial king, facing Atlantis’ technology, there would still be a risk of falling.

“Because just before you entered here, I spent another fifty years of my life and saw an alternate ending,” the Prophet said.

“What ending?” Ye Qiu was very curious.

The Prophet shook his head, “Tian Ji cannot be revealed. Leaking even a tiny bit would mean my death.”

“Haha, seems my existence is an unpredictable factor,” Ye Qiu mocked himself.

“You probably know that Earth is facing a great calamity as well, don’t you?” The Prophet suddenly asked.

Ye Qiu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Seems what I saw wasn’t wrong, you’re someone capable of influencing the future, full of uncertainty. So, I’ve decided to take a gamble.”

“Oh? How to gamble?”

“To bet on your victory.”

“How so?”

…

No one knew the details of Ye Qiu’s conversation with the Prophet, only the two of them understood. Amid the unfriendly glares from many Atlanteans, Ye Qiu left this small world.

After Ye Qiu left, the girl guarding by the Prophet’s side said, “Grandfather, was it really right to choose him?”

The Prophet coughed twice and said, “If I hadn’t seen him in person, my thoughts perhaps would have remained the same, doing everything possible to eliminate him to steer the future in a better direction.”

“But once he appeared here, I felt that Heavenly Dao seemed to be subtly changing because of him.”

The girl’s face was filled with disbelief upon hearing the Prophet’s words.

“Could it be, he carries divine intent?”

The Prophet didn’t answer, a vision emerged before him, a scene seen at the cost of his lifespan.

In the scene, Ye Qiu was surrounded by black aura, like an immortal and a demon, evil and kind, merciful and wicked, suspended in the sky.

Then it turned blurry, with only a glimpse of Ye Qiu launching a great massacre visible!

The battle seemed to plunge the world into darkness, blood flowing like rivers!

“Whether my choice is right or wrong? Perhaps I’ll comply with destiny!” The Prophet shook his head slowly, the vision shattered, and his hair began to fall, aging even more.
