Chapter 916 -916 No Other Choice
Tian Ruodu’s flesh body was annihilated by the Deathly Destiny Stele, and his soul attached to his Bright Seraph Life Base; in his hand, he held another Life Base Darkskin Soul Book, watching from the air as the Pseudo-Immortal Creatures Corps assaulted the defenses of Sky Pinnacle Star.
He did not stay long, flying through the chaotic battlefield toward what seemed to be the direction of the An Family.

“Not good.” Lin Shen realized something and hurriedly led people toward Tian Jue Manor.
After all, Tian Jue was Lin Shen’s senior uncle, and his body was almost completely transformed into non-human. In such a situation, there might be no guarantee that Tian Jue Manor could come out of this war unscathed.
Considering his past connection with Tian Xun and previous assistance from Tian Jue, he couldn’t just watch the entire Tian Jue family perish.
With Yan Ruyu leading the way, any Immortal Creatures rushing at them were almost immediately killed. By the time they arrived at Tian Jue Manor, from afar, they could see that the battles here were not fierce, and the Pseudo-Immortal Creatures Corps did not focus on attacking Tian Jue Manor.
The entire Tian Jue Manor was enveloped by a Law Barrier. The Pseudo-Immortal Creatures outside couldn’t break through the Law Barrier for a while and turned to other locations instead.
“Why have you come here?” Tian Xiaocao saw Lin Shen, hesitated for a moment, then let someone open a slit in the Law Barrier to let Lin Shen and his group in.
“Sky Pinnacle Star is in turmoil; I came to check on your situation, it’s good to see you’re fine.” Lin Shen did not go in, soon turning around to leave.
Since Tian Jue Manor was temporarily safe, he needed to see how the Celestial Master Institute was holding up, unsure whether An Sai and the others could still defend it.
“If you’re thinking of returning to the Celestial Master Institute, you might not need to. Vice Dean An and the others have already left the Institute and returned to their respective homes,” Tian Xiaoya told Lin Shen.
Lin Shen paused in surprise: “Weren’t they confined in the Celestial Master Institute? How could they just go home?”
Tian Xiaoya didn’t answer but said to Lin Shen: “Come in, it’s relatively safe here for now. You can’t leave Sky Pinnacle Star immediately, so take temporary shelter here.”
Thinking it over, Lin Shen led his people into Tian Jue Manor, and once they were all inside, Tian Xiaocao ordered the Law Barrier to be sealed.
“You’ve come just at the right time; father was actually sending someone to find you, but you came yourself. He’s waiting for you in the backyard; I’ll take you to him,” Tian Xiaofeng said, pulling Lin Shen toward the backyard.
Having visited before, Lin Shen was familiar with the path. But this time, upon arriving in the courtyard, he saw Tian Jue sitting in a wheelchair, resembling a statue made of ice jade, pushed by a Celestial female, observing the situation outside.
“You’ve really picked the wrong time to come to Sky Pinnacle Star,” Tian Jue said.
“Who knew Sky Pinnacle Star would be in such a state,” Lin Shen replied helplessly.
“You may as well stay here for the time being. If the Celestial Race can survive this calamity, there will still be time to leave,” Tian Jue continued, watching the ongoing battles in the sky: “If Sky Pinnacle Star falls, what are your plans?”
“We’ll have to force our way out of Sky Pinnacle Star. We can head to Giant Ring Star together,” Lin Shen said.
The woman pushing the wheelchair shook her head: “If Sky Pinnacle Star can’t hold, even if you manage to return to Giant Ring Star, do you think it can be defended? Besides, if Sky Pinnacle Star falls, it’s likely that no one will be able to escape.”
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die,” Lin Shen said. “I just saw Tian Ruodu; he is a high-ranking member of the God-making Race, and I’ve offended him before. Even if I wanted to surrender now, I doubt there would be a way to survive.”
Hearing this, Tian Jue’s face showed a rare expression: “For a person as obstinate as Tian Xun, I didn’t expect her to choose someone so cunning.”
“I have no choice due to the circumstances,” Lin Shen admitted with slight embarrassment.
“That’s probably for the best,” Tian Jue nodded slightly. “If Sky Pinnacle Star falls, take Xiaocao and the others to Giant Ring Star.”
“Aren’t you coming with us?” Lin Shen asked.
“I am already a dying man, it makes no difference whether I go or stay,” Tian Jue replied. “Go rest for now, rejuvenate your spirit, this may be our last chance.”
After Lin Shen left the courtyard, he met up with Ouyang Yudu and the others to discuss their next steps.
According to Tian Jue, the chances of holding Sky Pinnacle Star were slim. They had to plan ahead.
In the courtyard, the Female Celestial asked Tian Jue, “Do you also think that Sky Pinnacle Star can’t be held?”
“It’s difficult,” Tian Jue said.
The woman pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said, “If that’s really the case, we need to plan ahead. After all, Lin Shen is just a junior, his reliance is just on the Immortal of Heaven Law beside him, you don’t really believe he could escape, do you?”
“At this point, we can only take a gamble. When the battle reaches its final stage, with the full force of my manor, maybe we can carve out a path of survival for them,” Tian Jue sighed. “I was strongly against Tian Ruodu marrying Tian Xun initially; he won’t spare Lin Shen, nor will he spare me. We have no way out.”
Upon hearing this, the woman spoke, “That might not be the case. Tian Ruodu is just a high-ranking member of the God-making Race, not the Clan Leader. Maybe we can find a way to contact other high-ranking members of the God-making Race. Even if Tian Ruodu is unwilling, what can he do to us? If Tian Ruodu insists on pursuing us, we could simply hand over Lin Shen to vent his anger. Lin Shen has a life-destroying feud with him, compared to us, our grievances with him are nothing.”
Tian Jue looked at the woman and shook his head, “In my current state, do you think they would offend Tian Ruodu for me?”
“Anything is possible. If you have an idea, we can try it, it’s better than just sitting here waiting for death,” the woman said.
Tian Jue sighed again, “When have you been in contact with the God-making Race?”
The woman was momentarily taken aback then forced a smile, “What contact do I have with the God-making Race? But now, we have no choice, our family must survive, right?”
“How did you know about Lin Shen’s life-destroying feud with Tian Ruodu? Tian Xun only told me, and I haven’t told you,” Tian Jue said.
The woman let go of the wheelchair she had been pushing, walked up to Tian Jue, knelt down, and grasped his cold hand. “At this point, I will not hide it from you. I indeed made contact with the God-making Race, but it was for the sake of our family, for all of us to survive, and for Xiaocao and their future. We have no other choice.”
“Yes, we really have no other choice,” Tian Jue nodded slightly.
The woman brightened up, but in the next second, her expression drastically changed as her hand, holding Tian Jue’s, turned into an ice block.
Frightened, the woman burst out with terrifying strength in an attempt to break free, but it was too late. A horrifying Law Power froze her body along with the Law itself, everything except her head encased in ice.
“Tian Jue… what are you doing…” The woman, unable to break free, stared in horror at Tian Jue and asked.
“Indeed, we have no choice… only battle remains…” Tian Jue’s Ice Jade Body slowly stood up, his body’s ice light growing ever more intense, transforming into a shocking ice light that surged into the sky, where everything it touched was frozen.
In the sky, large swaths of the Pseudo-Immortal Creatures Corps were frozen mid-air, turning into ice sculptures that plummeted to the ground, shattering completely, devoid of the strength an Immortal Creature should possess.
