Chapter 002: The Great Prophecy Art

“I couldn’t ask for more!” Du Fan exclaimed fiercely before taking off, following Fischer’s figure toward the west.
Glancing at Angel, who was sitting on the ground, Master Abraham shook his head, put the broken jade bowl into his storage ring, and quickly followed Fischer and Du Fan.
Seeing the large group of people approaching, Angel wiped away her tears, stood up swiftly, and soon disappeared into the darkness…
“Du Fan, I never expected you to actually follow and seek death,” Fischer said with a smile as he landed on a flat area in the hills.
“With such a great grievance, how could I not avenge it?” Du Fan replied angrily.
“Good, you have ambition. But do you really think you can kill me and avenge your parents?” Fischer continued smiling.
At that moment, Abraham also flew over.
“Your Highness, that divine artifact has been destroyed by Du Fan using his space-tearing strike,” Abraham said with his head bowed upon seeing Fischer.
“It’s just a divine artifact; there’s no need for you to worry about it, Master,” Fischer said to Abraham with a smile. “While I fight Du Fan, you hold back the others for me!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Abraham replied immediately.
“Fischer, you’re really good at hiding your true strength! I never imagined you to be such a great master!” Du Fan said coldly.
Sensing Fischer’s aura, Du Fan activated the Eye of Truth—and Fischer’s strength had reached an incredibly mysterious level!
The energy within Fischer was very similar to divine power!
“Sigh, in my position, I have to be cautious about everything,” Fischer said with a sigh after hearing Du Fan’s words.
“Du Fan, I never expected us to end up on opposing sides so quickly. Just a year ago, when I first saw you, you were just a child who had just grown up. I never thought that in such a short time, you’d reach such a level of cultivation!”
“Your Highness is not bad either. Just a year ago, starting from knowing nothing, you’ve already reached a level almost ready to break through to the divine realm,” Du Fan said sarcastically.
“Du Fan, since things have come to this, it’s useless to say more. As I always say, those with the ability, come at me!” Fischer said with a smile.
“Fine, since you want to die early, I’ll fulfill your wish,” Du Fan said to Fischer.

Holding the Star Picking Tool in his hand, his thoughts flowed swiftly. Soon, the power of countless stars formed a great sword that descended straight toward Fische’s head. Seeing the massive sword, now fully formed, heading toward him, a faint smile appeared on Fische’s lips. With a casual gesture, he unleashed a beam of light in the shape of a cross, meeting Du Fan’s sword head-on. Quickly, the great sword created by Du Fan’s Star Combat Qi collided with Fische’s cross-cutting strike, and the two energies clashed in midair before disappearing into space. With a wave of his hand, a milky-white flame surged violently toward Du Fan. This flame contained extreme heat as it burned toward him. “Holy Flame!” Du Fan recognized it at once! Having spent so many years in the Church, he knew well the power of the Holy Flame—this kind of flame could not only reduce a person to ashes but also burn their body! It could even harm a person’s soul, so when facing enemy captives, simply igniting their souls with the Holy Flame usually ensured compliance. As the Holy Flame burned toward him, Du Fan acted swiftly—his Star Combat Qi transformed into a torrent of starlight that rushed toward Fische’s Holy Flame! Soon, the torrent of starlight collided with the Holy Flame, turning it into small milky-white flames that fell to the ground and vanished quickly. Meanwhile, the starlight torrent released by Du Fan seemed to be swallowed by the Holy Flame, disappearing without a trace! “Good, Du Fan! You even managed to counter my Holy Flame. It seems the person I’ve chosen is indeed excellent!” Fische said with a smile. Suddenly, pointing at Du Fan, he said devoutly, “The God says those who offend me shall be imprisoned!” The moment Fische pointed at him and uttered those words, Du Fan felt a massive amount of energy converging toward him. The space around him was sealed off, and he couldn’t move even an inch! “Great Prophecy Art.” Du Fan was shocked! Legend said that only the Pope could use the Great Prophecy Art, and it was also one of the eleven forbidden divine arts. “What does Fische’s use of the Great Prophecy Art mean?” Du Fan suddenly realized his mind wasn’t enough to handle this! … Not only in the north! Great upheaval had also occurred in the south!

On the very night of Du Fan’s wedding, many of the high-ranking generals at the head of his 450,000-strong army were assassinated one after another! Meanwhile, the troops that Duke Wade had been hiding in the four southern provinces finally launched a full-scale attack, rushing toward Du Fan’s territories! In just one night, Fisher launched attacks simultaneously in the Frozen Alliance, the imperial capital, and the four southern provinces! With attacks coming from three fronts at once, Du Fan’s side suffered heavy losses! Speaking of which, the southern regions suffered the least damage. Those sent by Duke Wade to carry out the assassinations managed to infiltrate the rooms of Rob, Moses, and others. Relying on their skills, these assassination experts were not only not killed by these people but were instead subdued by them. While Chenchen and Naixiu were soundly asleep, they kept receiving messages from outside. All of these messages reported that high-ranking generals from various armies had been assassinated! “Who could this be? Why would they do this?” Naixiu and Chenchen both sat up. After Du Fan left, Naixiu and Chenchen were basically in charge of making major decisions for the four southern provinces. Of course, they were immediately informed about the assassinations of the high-ranking generals. Soon, Rob, Moses, and Lilo also arrived. “What do you all think?” Naixiu asked. “These assassins sent to kill us must be highly trained. We must be careful. I think I’ll go to each army to see if those assassins are still there. Hmph, I hope they are! That way, my trip won’t be in vain!” Rob said. “If that’s the case, Mr. Rob, go ahead right away! Hurry up!” Naixiu urged. “Okay, I’m off now!” Before he could finish speaking, Rob turned into a gust of wind and disappeared quickly from everyone’s sight. “Your Majesty, what should we do next?” “Wait! Wait until dawn, and once we understand the source of everything, then we’ll deal with it,” Naixiu said. “This assassination campaign is clearly aimed at the army. I think we should pay more attention to where the troops are going!” Chenchen said loudly.

“Not bad!” said Naixiu. “In the army, there have been cases of commanders being assassinated. From now on, whenever something similar happens—whenever a commander dies—the deputy commander takes over immediately. In short, the officer closest in rank to the deceased fills in their position!” Naixiu said loudly.
Soon, under Naixiu’s orders, these rules were quickly disseminated throughout the army.
With Naixiu’s command in place, the army swiftly acted, especially since many of their top commanders had been killed.
“Your Majesty, those we captured this time are actually Night Elves! I think this matter deserves serious attention!” said Moses.
“What? Night Elves have appeared too!” Hearing Moses’ words, Naixiu felt a surge of concern.
The elves were well aware of the origins of the Night Elves. It was said that a branch of the elf tribe separated from the main group and followed a legendary figure underground, eventually giving rise to the Night Elves.
But by then, having become Night Elves, they no longer claimed to be part of the elf race. The Night Elves were also associated with elite assassins.
Through stealth and ambushes, the Night Elves could kill experts several ranks above them. Their assassination skills were renowned across the continent.
“Have we found out who sent these Night Elves?” Naixiu asked, her expression darkening.
“We can’t figure it out. These Night Elves are very tight-lipped,” Moses replied helplessly.
Soon, while the army was still dealing with the mass assassinations of high-ranking officers, more news arrived.
The four southern provinces had all been attacked simultaneously! The attackers were the empire’s border troops and the Southern Legion of the Lionheart Family!
“It seems war is really starting now!” Naixiu sighed upon hearing news from the attacked cities.
“Send a message and ask about the situation with Du Fan and the King of the Northern Garrison,” Naixiu ordered immediately.
Before she could finish speaking, another guard rushed over.
“Your Majesty, Lord George of the Northern Legion has sent news: the Holy Church and Regent Gavin have launched a surprise attack. The King of the Northern Garrison has fallen! Lord George has already led his troops southward!”

“Hurry up and ask how things are on the third brother’s side!” Hearing the guard say this, Moses had already forgotten to address Naixiu as Her Majesty. Nodding, Naixiu immediately activated the communication badge that Bashaa had given her last time. …
At that moment, Du Fan was trapped by Fisher’s Great Prediction Spell. Hearing Naixiu’s increasingly anxious voice through the communication badge, Du Fan’s heart was torn apart!
“Naixiu, I’m fine,” Du Fan said, his eyes red, emphasizing each word.
“Please take care of things for me first; I’ll be back soon!”
“Haha, Du Fan, do you really think you can go back this time?” Hearing Du Fan speaking, although he didn’t know exactly what it was, Fisher could clearly guess that Du Fan was communicating with Naixiu!
After saying that, Fisher raised another finger and pointed at Du Fan.
“God says that everything you have was given by me, and when I want to take it back, I can!”
When Fisher said this, Du Fan suddenly realized that his life force was disappearing rapidly, along with all his energy. Even worse, it seemed as though the various parts of his body were trying to separate from him! To break apart from his body!
One Great Prediction Spell to trap him, another to strip him of everything! These two spells combined pushed Du Fan into an extremely dangerous situation!
“Ah!” Severe pain came from his body as it was torn apart, and thinking of Old Green being betrayed and his mother turned to ashes under the attack of the Eight Magic Cannons, Du Fan cried out to the sky in despair!
Since arriving in this world, Du Fan had never felt such heartache before!
