Chapter 1329: Deliberations and Decrees!
Simultaneously,
Within the active universe,
The high-bloodline races vying for the ancestral artifact, the Morning Star, were currently convened in council.
Unlike the fifteen high-bloodline races that had arrived initially, only the representatives of ten races gathered here now.
Among the missing, the Skeleton Race and the Six-Armed Battle Demon Race had naturally been annihilated by Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu.
As for the other three high-bloodline races:
The Devil Race, struck with terror by the Azure Emperor's martial might, had chosen to retreat directly, without so much as notifying the other high-bloodline races.
The All-Souls Race had also withdrawn from the coalition contending for the Morning Star, citing insufficient preparation and a lack of desire to compete further.
Regarding the Underworld Emperor Race, they too had pulled out of the struggle for the Morning Star, bound by the necessity to guard against an invasion by the Illusory Race.
The remaining races are only: the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Chaos Deity Clan, the Pastoral God Clan, the Leviathan Race, the Divine Offspring Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Elemental Clan, the Qi Clan, the Immortal Spirit Clan, and the Light Heaven Angel Clan—these ten noble bloodlines!
"Speak plainly—how shall we deal with the Qing Di?"
The Primordial Spirit Clan's Supreme God, Yuan Yi, tapped his desk with a slow, low voice.
"How else? Expand the search radius. Whoever finds Qing Di first will claim the Clan's Sacred Artifact—the Sacred Artifact will naturally belong to them."
The Pastoral God Clan spoke.
"Given the current situation, this human Qing Di Lord's power appears to be no less than the Celestial Sovereign. His current strength is fully capable of matching that of any of the races present here."
"If we continue to scatter our efforts in search of one another, we may indeed locate him—but we will hardly be able to defeat him. Let alone seize the Clan's Sacred Artifact from him."
The Light Heaven Angel Clan shook their head.
"That is your concern."
"What does it have to do with us?"
"What fear do we, the Herd of the God of Pasture, have of the Emperor of Green?"
The deputy chieftain of the Herd of the God of Pasture, Dong He, spoke with arrogant confidence.
The representative of the Light of Heaven Angels turned pale.
Yet, faced with the superior bloodline and overwhelming power of the other faction, he could say nothing.
"I heard the Skull Emperor say that the Emperor of Green and the Emperor of the People share remarkably similar tactics. Are they truly not one and the same?"
The chieftain of the Divine Descendants asked with puzzlement.
"One person? What nonsense!"
The deputy chieftain of the Chaotic Gods, Xuan Whale, glared darkly, as if water were about to drip from his face. "The Emperor of the People and his main force are stationed on the Supreme Continent—they haven't even entered the cosmos to move."
The representatives of other races observed Xuan Whale's expression and found themselves puzzled.
"Xuan Whale, what's wrong with you? Your face is so grim."
The Elemental Clan Patriarch inquired curiously.
As soon as he had finished speaking, the Dragon Clan Patriarch—Golden Holy Dragon Solomon—whispered lowly:
"Do you not know?"
"Today, the Celestial Sovereign led his entire army in a surprise assault on the Forbidden Sanctum of the Chaotic Deity Clan—the Chaotic Wasteland."
"Not only did they take all the Chaotic Human Clan members, but they even carried off the Chaotic Wasteland itself—the sacred site of chaos."
"And upon learning of this, the Chaotic Deity Clan immediately dispatched ten of their chief deities to intercept. Guess what? Five of them were slain outright, while the other five surrendered directly to the Celestial Sovereign—granting the Sovereign five top-tier divine combat forces without a single battle!"
As Solomon spoke these words, a subtle tinge of gloating, even of pride, lingered in his tone.
For he knew that within the main fighting forces under the Celestial Sovereign’s command, there stood the Dragon God Legion of his own Dragon Clan.
Moreover, the Celestial Sovereign himself bore multiple legendary Dragon Clan bloodlines.
And furthermore, the Sovereign’s Sacred Dao Sword had already recognized and affirmed the Celestial Sovereign’s worth.
So their Dragon Clan actually has deep ties to the Emperor of the People, the Sovereign of the Common Folk.
That is, the Qing Emperor is not the Sovereign of the Common Folk.
Otherwise, if the Sovereign of the Common Folk had seized the Star of Dawn, they would never have come.
After all, now every race acknowledges that the Sovereign of the Common Folk's future achievements are boundless!
Since their own race shares such a connection with the other, preserving what exists without destruction is naturally the wisest course.
Yet, since the Qing Emperor has taken the Star of Dawn—a crucial ancestral artifact of the race—then surely the Dragon Clan must contest it.
"Solomon, are you telling the truth or not?"
"Xuan Whale, you're quite the one! While we're all working tirelessly to contain the Sovereign of the Common Folk's rising power, you suddenly offer him five Primordial God Sovereigns of the Chaos Clan! Are you not just making things more complicated for us?"
"Complicated, truly—five Primordial God Sovereigns of the Chaos Clan, feeding the Sovereign of the Common Folk straight from the start!"
"And from now on, he'll be even harder to deal with."
……
“Xuanjing, didn't I tell you? Until we have a means to subvert the Celestial Emperor of the People, don't send any subordinates to fight him directly!"
Yuan one frowned and spoke.
"That man has already stormed our gates!"
Xuanjing replied coldly.
Yes.
That was the simple truth.
If the enemy has already broken through the gates, and yet we still choose not to retaliate—how would the myriad races perceive the Chaotic Divine Clan?
It wouldn't merely be a matter of defeat.
It would be a crisis of the Chaotic Divine Clan's very prestige.
They would rather lose ten chief deities than see the prestige of their Chaotic God Clan shaken among the myriad races of the cosmos.
They would not dare admit that the World-Spreading Emperor was a presence they absolutely did not wish to provoke.
"Besides, that man took away members of the Chaotic Human Clan."
"We have long-standing grievances between the Chaotic God Clan and the Chaotic Human Clan—how could you possibly not know? How could we just stand by and watch as they carry off our enemies?"
Xuan Qing said.
"Then in the end, didn't we still lose both our allies and our troops?"
A clan leader muttered.
Xuan Qing's expression darkened even further, and within his heart, hatred, fear, and dread of the World-Spreading Emperor grew stronger than ever.
He hadn't expected—
The power of influence the World-Spreading Emperor wielded was truly terrifying.
A being of supreme divinity, yet each of them wields a will as resolute as light—superior forces whose wills are as unyielding as divine iron.
Under normal circumstances, none could ever be swayed or infiltrated.
The Great Deities themselves understand the strength of will, which is why there are few among them who have cultivated the art of persuasion or manipulation.
Unthinkable—how could the Celestial Sovereign’s influence penetrate even a deity protected by the force of will?
This is what the Lord’s Law, ruling above all other laws, truly means...
"Let us set aside the matter of the Celestial Sovereign."
"Our immediate priority is to secure the Star of Qing Di!"
Yuan Yi spoke, "However, Qing Di’s current strength has exceeded our expectations. Therefore, I hereby decree: starting today, we shall form a joint alliance of at least three high-bloodline races, leading a contingent of medium and minor races, to search across the Active Cosmos for the traces of Qing Di."
"Once we locate him, we must immediately drag Qing Di into conflict and establish binding traps to prevent his escape. Then, we must swiftly notify allied forces to surround and besiege him!"
"Remember—traps must be set. Preferably, those of a level below even the Great Deities!"
"Because the Qing Di is said to possess a subordinate divine spaceship, and it is precisely through this vessel that He has managed to escape our pursuit every time."
"Should we encounter him again, I hope we will no longer be deceived by the same tactic and allowed to slip away!"
"As for me, the Chaos Deity Clan, and the Herd Deity Clan, we will form our own army and search for the traces of Qing Di."
