Chapter 1525:

"The Heavenly G.o.d came to know about this. Believing his friend had gone crazy in hate, he decided to put a stop to it."

"The two sides fought, and things became so bad that both sides lost half their population."

"The G.o.d who had trained them and taught them how to get stronger was broken as he came to know of it. He couldn't see the repeat of the same thing which happened to him. He couldn't watch his creations fighting with each other, so he decided to put a stop to it."

"He came once again to stop this war, but the two sides were already at a boiling point and refused to listen. Instead, they even fought him while telling him to stay out of it. In their anger, both sides had lost their minds."

"The Demon G.o.d and the Heavenly G.o.d both fought him only to be defeated in the end. The Origin G.o.d killed the two friends he himself trained with his own hands."

"He even split the Immortal World into two worlds, giving one to the Demons and the other to the Heavenly Warriors so a repeat of something like this couldn't happen again. And that's the cause of the bad blood between the Demons and the Heavenly Warriors," Long Tian explained.

"So he made those two statues in their memories?" Long Chen pointed to the statues.

"Not in their memories. Those two statues are what he made to preserve the souls of those two. The statue on the left contains the Soul of the Demon G.o.d, and the one on the right contains the Soul of the Heavenly Warrior."

"What? Why would he seal their souls?"

"Because despite being killed, the two hadn't died entirely. The Origin G.o.d had taught him the skill of Soul Immortality as well in the past, so their soul couldn't be destroyed. Moreover, the souls could create too much chaos, so he sealed the souls of his friends in the statue."

"When Tian Shen stole these statues, I don't think he knew how special these statues were. He probably thought that these were some treasures that could come to life to protect this place, but as long as the statues are intact, they are harmless," Long Tian replied.

"That's good." Long Chen let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have to face the two G.o.ds of Ancient Times. One Tian Shen was already enough of a ha.s.sle for him.

"By the way, you should stop that guy if you don't want all of us to die," Long Tian pointed to the man in the back.

Long Chen turned around. His face went pale as he watched the White Tiger King reaching out his hand to the statue on the left.

"Stop right there! Don't touch them!" Long Chen yelled as he teleported right beside the White Tiger King.

He held the hands of the King and pulled him aside.

"What do you think you're doing?" The White Tiger King roared. An energy blast sent Long Chen flying back, straight to the Statue on the right. "Enough is enough! How dare you touch us!"

"Long Chen, behind you!" Long Tian roared, watching Long Chen about to crash on the statue.

Fortunately, Long Chen used his teleportation right at the last moment to appear in a different spot. He didn't think much before selecting a random spot. Any spot was better than falling on the statues, but unfortunately, the spot where he appeared happened to be right before Baihu Ling.

He fell on top of Baihu Ling, making her fall with him.

"Are you fine?" Long Chen called out as he pushed himself up.

Baihu Ling lowered her gaze to see where Long Chen's hands were. One of them was reading on her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She wanted to scold him so badly, but she knew her father was in the distance. If he found out what happened now, he was going to kill Long Chen for such indecency.

Baihu Ling understood that it was an accident, and she didn't want Long Chen to be killed because of it.

She grabbed the wrist of Long Chen, who didn't know where his hand was. She moved his hand abruptly, not knowing that the hand was balancing him to keep him up. As she abruptly moved his hand, Long Chen came down uncontrollably. Even he hadn't expected the lady to make him lose his balance so suddenly.

Long Chen's body came down. His lips touched the lips of Baihu Ling, making her eyes open wide. She couldn't believe the man's lips were on her lips.

She wanted to push him away, but at the same time, she wanted him to stay just like this. She didn't know why but she liked this... It was her first kiss, yet she felt something she had never felt before, especially since she had already started developing some feelings for him as he came back to protect her before the Ice Phoenix Queen. Even she didn't know how favorable her feelings had become for him at that time.

Subconsciously she wanted to savor this kiss. Long Chen was the one who ultimately stopped. He pushed his body up. "I'm sorry, I lost my bal-"

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You dare put your hands on my daughter?!" Before Long Chen could explain, someone grabbed his collar. The White Tiger King watched the kiss. He couldn't believe some lecher had kissed his daughter right before him after disrespecting him.

Long Chen didn't let the old man hurt him this time. He teleported right at the start, this time as he appeared in the distance.

"Old man, calm down. I didn't intend to do it. It was an accident. I just didn't want the statues to break. Moreover, this isn't the place to fight. If there's even a scratch on those statues, w-"

"Silence! Just because you saved my daughter, I let you accompany us, but you are not worth even being kept alive after what you did! I'll kill you!"

Long Chen couldn't believe it. Of all the places, the old man just had to select this place to didn't. He wanted to give the man a big smack on the head for being this stupid. If they fought here, the chances of a stray attack hurting the statue were really high."

"Father, wait, it was really an accident. He lost his balance because of me!"

"You stay out of it!" Baihu Ling tried to provide the explanation, but she was only pushed aside as the sharp claws of the White Tiger King came out. "Just because I talked nicely to you, you thought you could test your luck, didn't you? But don't forget who I am!"
