“What? The Divine Ancestor was accounted for in their plans!” the Da Qian Master exclaimed in alarm.
The Divine Ancestor was a stabilizing force for the entire Human Race. With him there, nothing should faze them.
However, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor and the other forces that would go to take down the Mysterious Underworld Race were already accounted for in the plans of the Mysterious Underworld Race. This was totally a bolt out of the blue for the Human Race.
“When can the Divine Ancestor and the others return?” the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master asked anxiously.
Although the various hall masters had some complaints regarding the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, they were all clear on one thing: They would not have someone great to rely on without the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
A Taiyi Yuan Venerate was really important to the entire Human Race. Without a Taiyi Venerate’s support, the foundation of the Human Race wouldn’t be very stable.
“Probably after 10 years.” Luo Yunyang glanced at the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master and said, “However, in these 10 years, we will be facing the attacks of the Divine Incarcerate Race and the Star Sky Race.””read comics on our Read.live”
“Furthermore, to enter our race’s territory, the Divine Incarcerate Taiyi Yuan Venerate has severed his cultivation.”
Although a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate wasn’t a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, a self-severed Taiyi Yuan Venerate was much more terrifying than a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
Everyone present knew that they wouldn’t be able to hold off for too long without the support of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. Therefore, there was a period of silence.
“Yunyang, did the Divine Ancestor not leave us any defensive capabilities? For example, the Nine Cauldron Great Array of the Nine Cauldron Training Grounds? If we utilize it, we can definitely go up against Taiyi Yuan Venerate entities.” The Battle Hall Master’s eyes were bright when he mentioned the Nine Cauldrons.
Luo Yunyang shook his head. “The Nine Cauldrons have already been brought by the Divine Ancestor to the Mysterious Underworld Race. He simply won’t have the time to send aid.”
The Da Qian Master and the others fell silent. Even though they worked their brains off trying to think of a solution, they knew clearly that they really had nothing that could be useful under the circumstances. Absolute power wasn’t something schemes could make up for.
After this bout of silence, the Da Qian Master said, “Yunyang, what do you suggest we do?”
“We’ll definitely have no way of winning this war if we let the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler into our 36 Great Cosmoses.”
Luo Yunyang glanced at the Da Qian Master and said, “Therefore, we need someone amongst us to stall the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler.”
The Da Qian Master really wanted to ask to be entrusted with this. However, he knew very well that this wasn’t something one could say for fun and he simply wasn’t capable of handling this task.
He wasn’t the only one. The others couldn’t handle it either.
“Are any of the returnees capable of hindering the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler?” the Dark Hall Master asked.
The Battle Hall Master shook his head. “Even if they could, they might not necessarily take action. After all, there is a very high chance of death. Furthermore, according to my estimations, no one amongst them has reached this level yet.”
The Da Qian Master pondered this for a bit before saying, “There are still close to 300 returnees. If we add the Taichu Yuan Venerates of Tianding Realm, our numbers can reach 400. If 400 Taichu Yuan Venerates attack together, we might not be defeated by the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler.”
“Perhaps we can rely on our numbers to kill the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler.”
The Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master nodded. This had to be the best option for now.
Luo Yunyang also knew that this was the most plausible solution. However, he knew that this suggestion wasn’t something easy to accomplish.
“This could definitely work against a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate. However, a self-severed Taiyi Yuan Venerate is a different matter.”
Luo Yunyang said with some bitterness, “A Taiyi Yuan Venerate entity doesn’t require accumulated numbers to achieve victory.”
“Then what should we do?” the Battle Hall Master asked. “Are we going to sit around and wait to die?”
Luo Yunyang already had a plan on his mind. However, he wasn’t prepared to share his thoughts right now.
His ideas were also very dangerous, and Luo Yunyang was only willing to use them as a last resort.
“Summon all Taichu Yuan Venerates,” he told the Battle Hall Master.
“Understood. I will go relay Your Majesty’s decree right away,” the Battle Hall Master said resolutely. After he left, the Da Qian Master said worriedly, “I’m just afraid some people won’t come, especially those from Tianding Realm.”
Luo Yunyang glanced at the Da Qian Master beside him. “The Divine Incarcerate Race isn’t leaving us a lot of time to work with. Thus, we cannot squander our time. We have to dispose of the contrasting voices within the Human Race.”
Luo Yunyang said the words “dispose of” very naturally, but the Da Qian Master and the others shuddered when they heard this.
They had all sensed that Luo Yunyang was bluffing to intimidate all the people in Tianding Realm that were merely paying lip service.
Luo Yunyang’s target was Tianding Realm.
Ever since the Imperial Court and the Heavenly Court had been established separately, Tianding Realm basically hadn’t thought much of Luo Yunyang’s Imperial Court. Even though Luo Yunyang could command the Heavenly Court now, who knew what the martialists of the Heavenly Court would try.
Rather than botching things up when the time came, Luo Yunyang was prepared to immediately get rid of the dissenting voices that might appear.
After a while, The Battle Hall Master returned in a huff. “Your Majesty, the returnee powerhouses said that they will rush over immediately after hearing Your Majesty’s order.”
“However, Tianding Realm’s Dongfang Jianming, who is in charge of those that stayed behind, says that they will only follow the heavenly decree of the Heavenly Rulers. They won’t comply without the Heavenly Rulers’ decree.”
Luo Yunyang had an impression of Dongfang Jianming. This person was Dongfang Chitian’s brother and his standing in the Dongfang Family seemed even higher than Dongfang Chitian’s.
Although this person didn’t really have evil conduct, Luo Yunyang was still prepared to kill him to make an example out of him.
He didn’t care whether this would be an injustice to Dongfang Jianming. He had not had a path of retreat from the moment the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had entrusted this assignment to him.
Besides, the Human Race’s 36 Great Cosmoses and Tianding Realm no longer had a way out.
They would either unite and fight it out with the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler or they would all die.
At this crucial time, taking the head of someone in exchange for the reverence of the Human Race’s armies seemed appropriate.
“I got it.” As soon as he said that, he got up. “Come on, let’s head to the Human Ruler’s Palace.”
Although a large proportion of Luo Yunyang’s time was spent in Hong Meng Sacred Hall, as the Human Ruler, he couldn’t not have a palace to receive people.
The Human Ruler’s Place was the place where the Imperial Court convened. Although Luo Yunyang rarely used this place, this palace was the most suitable venue. After all, all the returnee powerhouses and Tianding Realm martialists were convening.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Hundreds of Taichu Yuan Venerates from various Great Eras paid their respects to Luo Yunyang as he took his seat.
Although not everyone seemed thoroughly convinced by Luo Yunyang, his position meant that they had to show the appropriate amount of respect.
“There’s no need for formalities, everyone.” Luo Yunyang eyed the returnee powerhouses and said, “You have all been invited over because there is an issue regarding our fates that I have to discuss with you.”
Luo Yunyang didn’t hide anything. Instead, he immediately briefed them on the situation. All the returnee powerhouses immediately scowled.
Originally, some of them had been unhappy about being summoned by Luo Yunyang. However, whatever complaints they’d had vanished completely now.
They understood how powerful a self-severed Taiyi Yuan Venerate actually was and they all knew how much damage a Taiyi Yuan Venerate could cause.
“Your Majesty, everyone, I once encountered a self-severed Taiyi Yuan Venerate in my time. In that era, I couldn’t even take three moves of that person!” an elegant-looking man with seven stars flickering in his eyes said heavily. “Therefore, we mustn’t be careless.”
“I’ve never encountered one, but my master mentioned that while a self-severed Taiyi Yuan Venerate’s cultivation boundary might seem to be the Taichu Yuan Venerate, they are still a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.”
“Their strength is only weaker than a Taiyi Yuan Venerate’s. However, their control of nomological laws is still at the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level.”
“When facing this sort of entity, we can’t drop our guard. We must be extremely careful in order to deal with the present circumstances.”
Luo Yunyang said, “I appreciate everyone’s support, but there are still some people who do not understand the severity of things among the Human Race. I hope that you can help me punish them.”
“We can’t have people causing problems when we are facing such a powerful enemy.”
Meanwhile, in Tianding Realm’s Six Ruler Palace, Dongfang Jianming was flipping through some books. Compared to Luo Yunyang’s Human Ruler Palace, the Six Ruler Palace seemed even more dignified. While Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky was absent, Dongfang Jianming had gotten addicted to being the temporary Heavenly Ruler.
“Big Brother, Luo Yunyang is the Human Ruler. We shouldn’t go against him when he summons us over.” A Taishi Yuan Venerate, who looked slightly similar to Dongfang Jianming, advised him.
“Right, Human Ruler Luo Yunyang is merely the Human Ruler of the 36 Great Cosmoses. We are the ones who let him be. Who does he think he is to actually summon us to listen to his instructions? He really doesn’t know how much he is worth!”
Dongfang Jiaming scoffed without even looking up.
