I began listening to that recording of the last words again. The technology for recordings in Atlantis was practically child’s play, so none of us were particularly curious.
"The empire has not yet begun to expand its military. The only two armed forces in Poseidonia are the Royal Guard and the Security Force, totaling just over three thousand people. Moreover, these armed forces are poorly trained; most are civilians who have merely picked up weapons. In fact, over a thousand of them are my fervent followers—no exaggeration—they are utterly weak!
I know this is my best opportunity. If I plan it well, with my eight thousand Fanatics in Poseidonia, I can turn the tide. Besides, I have had enough of patience and waiting. Once the empire starts to expand its military and prepares for war, there will surely be a large number of new troops and weapons. The empire's armed forces will be entirely under the emperor's control, and by then, I will be at their mercy.
Regardless, the path of armed rebellion is already unstoppable."
The Sima Saintess murmured this in her last words.
Approximately nine thousand years ago, after a long period of preparation, the Sima Saintess finally initiated her rebellion!
According to her account, the uprising took place on a particular night after midnight. The Sima Saintess incited the Fanatics within the Royal Guard and Security Force to be the first to rebel. Then she led her eight thousand Fanatics to launch a surprise attack on the sleeping Royal Guard and Security Force under the cover of darkness. The battle lasted less than an hour before the Royal Guard and Security Force were completely annihilated, and all favorable circumstances began to align with the Sima Saintess.
She believed that as long as she dealt with Poseidonia's limited armed forces, she would essentially be victorious; controlling the emperor would mean winning the entire war. However, when she arrived at the palace gates with her eight thousand Fanatics, she realized how wrong she was because the Intercepting Daoist was waiting for her at the palace gates.
"At that time, facing my eight thousand Fanatics, he stood on the city gate laughing, dressed in a peculiar gray robe with his hair down. There was no hint of fear on his face. I didn’t understand why he wasn’t afraid; we had eight thousand against him alone. He should have known he was the root cause of this war. If I broke into the palace, he would be the first person I would kill, and I would use the most brutal methods imaginable!
This question lingered until the war came to an end when I finally understood why he wasn’t afraid: it was because he was invincible—not even a god could defeat him.
He said: 'I know you have returned, so I am here waiting for you. When my hair is tied up, I am a god; I exist to save all beings. In fact, I have always been striving for that purpose. But when my hair is down, I am a devil; I will kill anyone who stands in my way.'
At that moment, his hair was down."
In her account, the Sima Saintess described how the Intercepting Daoist stood alone against her eight thousand Fanatics—and he did it with just one move!
Yes, just one move!
The Intercepting Daoist sat cross-legged atop the city gate, and with a light raise of his hand, the ground changed color. Endless thunder fell from the sky, splitting the earth open with astonishing cracks, and eight thousand Fanatics were effortlessly taken down!
As I read this part, Big Mouth Lee seemed to be in a daze, muttering to himself repeatedly, "One move? Just a light raise of his hand, and all eight thousand Fanatics were eliminated? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
It wasn't just Big Mouth Lee who looked this way; everyone else appeared as if they had seen a ghost!
Those were eight Three Thousand! Not just eight thousand Fanatics; even if they were eight thousand pigs, it would take some time to kill them, right?
"So what exactly is this being?"
Bald Qiang gasped in shock and asked from the side, "How high is the cultivation of this Intercepting Daoist?"
"Can't guess. It's absolutely beyond comprehension in Daoist Practice..."
Ghost Granny furrowed her brow, her expression grave as she spoke slowly, "It's simply not human; it's almost like the legendary immortals!"
"Immortal? That's too far-fetched!"
According to this narrative, during the night raid on the palace, Sima Saintess was neither captured nor killed. She escaped under the protection of some followers while the Intercepting Daoist did not pursue her. In the end, Sima Saintess fled into the common folk and began organizing followers who opposed war to resist.
This resistance lasted a full decade, resulting in countless deaths among the Atlantis people. Ultimately, with the royal family continuously mastering advanced u qi, this war between divine authority and royal power ended in defeat for divine authority. Sima Saintess was captured and imprisoned at the very location we are now!
It was at this time that Atlantis's plan to create ultimate warriors had begun; these ultimate warriors were within the palace!
Using her abilities to charm the guards, Sima Saintess learned of this news while in prison. She was incredibly excited at the thought that if she could control the ultimate warriors, wouldn’t that allow her to strike back?
Thus, the Sima Saintess escaped from prison. However, she did not head directly to the palace; after all, she was just a woman—how could she possibly storm the royal residence? Her first destination was the Land of the Sleeping Kings, where the rulers of Atlantis were buried. This place held a monster, a guardian of the Land of the Sleeping Kings!
But the recordings about that monster abruptly cut off!
I listened repeatedly, and there was no mistake—the voice stopped right there!
Indeed, it was gone. After that, a cacophony of noise erupted, filled with roars and fury, as if the broadcast had picked up sounds from another world, reminiscent of static on a television screen.
After hearing all this, I felt utterly unsettled. The fragmented descriptions sounded terrifying, yet I couldn't grasp what kind of creature guarded the sleeping land. That feeling was incredibly distressing!
Later on, the Sima Saintess controlled this monster to attack the palace, disturbing the unfinished ultimate warrior. The out-of-control Heart of Atlantis caused the palace to collapse. It was only when the Intercepting Daoist intervened that order was restored. However, due to this incident, the ultimate warrior could not be completed successfully, leaving the situation highly unstable.
During that attack, the Sima Saintess managed to obtain information about the ultimate warrior. She learned that this warrior was a living being fused with the Heart of Atlantis and was named "Voldemort," meaning a warrior capable of subduing the earth.
Unfortunately, in the end, the Sima Saintess could not seduce the rampaging Voldemort under the watchful eye of the Intercepting Daoist. The Intercepting Daoist subdued Voldemort, who then subdued that monster and captured the Sima Saintess, tossing her back into prison!
The Sima Saintess realized she had angered the Intercepting Daoist and knew she was doomed. Just after being captured for less than an hour, the Intercepting Daoist announced he would flay her alive. She understood that her time was up and wrote down these words in her cell.
This is likely what transpired on the eve of Atlantis's downfall. No wonder the Sima Saintess met such a gruesome end; it turned out she was subjected to slow slicing. It is also no surprise that the Intercepting Daoist set up seven barriers with the Fire Ignition Formation to torment her—he intended for her to never be reborn even in death. After all, she had disrupted his plans; he had meticulously orchestrated everything only for her to ruin it all and end up with an incomplete Voldemort!
