In the grand palace hall of the Heavenslayers Alliance, there were several individuals standing there with shocked or confused expressions.

 

Leaders from various Forces were here to discuss strategies, with many of them unable to leave. The abnormal interactions between the three Deputy Alliance Leaders, Gu Wuwang, Ming, and the Drunken Sword Immortal, left them feeling nervous and on guard. They could not help but to stay and watch on to find out what was happening.

 

As the Chosen One of the Heavenslayers Alliance, ‘Wang Wushang’ stood there with hands behind his back. His aura was deep like the sea, and he possessed a terrifying prowess that could not be concealed. He stood in front of his followers, who were all looking outside the palace.

 

His might be uneasy in his heart, but he managed to easily conceal it by feigning calm and not revealing any anomaly.

 

“Seems like there will be an unexpected guest who arrives at the Prosperous Dao True World. The three Seniors must have sensed it and rushed over in advance. We will wait here for the three Seniors. If they can’t deal with it, it will be useless even if we rush over.” ‘Wang Wushang’ spoke unhurriedly while his eyes containing all sorts of anomalies. There seemed to be great stars, Sun, and Moon revolving, manifesting the prestige of millions of lives.

 

After the three Dao Realm ancient cultivators left, he had become the main decision maker and backbone of this place.

 

Cen Shuang frowned as he stood behind while feeling plenty of displeasure towards the current ‘Wang Wushang’. Ao Teng, Ao Ling, Shen Xianer and the others were also frowning too. However, they did not say anything as they did not wish to stir up any trouble.

 

Gu Wuwang, Ming, and the Drunken Sword Immortal had already left to the sky and looked as though they were rushing towards the horizon.

 

This had stirred up the hearts of everyone in the palace hall. The youth generation were all feeling uneasy and started to have soft discussions.

 

Once they heard Ni Chen’s statement, most were shocked and could not help getting worried.

 

When the three Dao Realm ancient cultivators left, they simply vanished without a trace. The people here did not even have time to ask what was happening.

 

From ‘Wang Wushang”s words, it seemed like a powerful figure had descended into the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

“It would be great if the Alliance Leader is here. With him around to oversee this, we would be at ease.” A leader of an Ancient Clan could not help but softly say.

 

When he spoke, there were many others who agreed. They knew that Gu Changge was the no.1 figure in the Prosperous Dao True World, had immeasurable cultivation, and was superior to the three Dao Realm Deputy Alliance Leaders.

 

With Gu Changge overseeing, even if the Prosperous Dao True World faced an unstoppable foe, he would have a countermeasure.

 

From the beginning, Gu Changge had given off a feeling as though he could achieve anything with ease.

 

When Gu Changge was around, many would live under his terror and shadows, but there were also benefits. They did not need to worry about outside enemies.

 

“Didn’t all of you hear the Deputy Alliance Leader? The current Prosperous Dao True World needs to sharpen up and everything would become under the Alliance Leader’s control. What is there to worry about? If you have time to worry, why not use the time to think about how to deal with this situation. Should you be thinking of relying on someone else?”

 

There were leaders present that felt worried about future dangers, and did not believe their current mindset was right.

 

After all, Gu Changge had always given them the feeling that he could disregard everything whenever he wished. It felt as though the world did not matter to him.

 

How could they always be thinking of relying on Gu Changge for such matters? Did they forget about the cause of the Forbidden Epoch.

 

How could they forget about the change to the Upper Realm? How many Forces and the ancient universe had been destroyed and turned into dust because of him? Millions of lives had perished during the event.

 

Now that Gu Changge dominated the Heavenslayers Alliance and was in control of the Prosperous Dao True World, he had transformed the environment, making it suitable for cultivation.

 

The people could now reproduce in peace and grow in strength. Many had already forgotten everything and even started to be grateful to Gu Changge. They had seemingly forgotten who he originally was, the Demon Lord!

 

In the palace hall, leaders of various Forces were all discussing softly. Some of them had worried expressions while feeling uneasy in their hearts, while others were calm and did not have a hint of panic as they waited for the return of the three Dao Realm ancient cultivators.

 

‘Wang Wushang’ had his hands behind his back as he slowly paced around the palace hall and was seemingly in contemplation.

 

Subsequently, he swept a glance at everyone, “Everyone don’t have to worry. As the Chosen One of the Heavenslayers Alliance, if there are any accidents, I will definitely think of a way to protect everyone. Since the various Forces have joined my Heavenslayers Alliance, you are part of us.”

 

“I am currently just one step before becoming an Immortal Emperor, even the Dao Realm is within reach. My talent is witnessed by everyone. In just a few years, I will be able to reach the level of the Seniors. I will be able to cross the Boundless Expanse and head out.”

 

‘Wang Wushang’ spoke like a dignified superior, attempting to buy the hearts of everyone.

 

Apart from Gu Wuwang, the two other Dao Realm ancient cultivators were his greatest obstacle for his plan in the Prosperous Dao True World. Therefore, Ni Chen was planning to recruit the leaders of the various Forces when the three Dao Realm experts were not around. This would allow him to pave the way for his plan.

 

Ni Chen had also made serious considerations. The Deep Control True World, where he was originally from, had been destroyed during an invasion from the outside worlds. Thus, most people from the Deep Control True World have perished.

 

Unless he was able to reach Gu Changge’s level, it was going to be very difficult for him to revive all of them. It was a process that he had to take single steps at a time. Once he possessed the Prosperous Dao True World, he would immediately revive his close ones. Afterwards, he would bring in those still alive here, to let them reproduce and live here.

 

With his status as the Chosen One, the Deep Control Clan would prosper more, and it would not be impossible for them to regain their heyday.

 

With the Fortuity of this True World and with sufficient cultivation resources, Ni Chen’s breakthrough speed would only get faster. With enough strength, would be able to suppress the Prosperous Dao True World and change its name into the Deep Control True World.

 

During this process, he would need to use body possession to control the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

Behind ‘Wang Wushang’, there were definitely leaders of major Forces. They agreed and commented, “Everyone must have already witnessed the Chosen One’s talent. With his tremendous breakthrough speed, he would be able to catch up to the three Seniors soon enough. His future is definitely immeasurable.”

 

“Furthermore, the Chosen One is heavily favoured by the Alliance Leader and has been bestowed with an artifact, the Chaos Wondrous Root. It is a supreme artifact that has unimaginable usages. The Alliance Leader will definitely hand over the Heavenslayers Alliance to the Chosen One…”

 

“I advise everyone to set your sights further, not just look for short term benefits and give up on the future.”

 

There was a rift between ‘Wang Wushang’ and the two Dao Realm ancient cultivators, the Drunken Sword Immortal and Ming. This was a known matter in the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Many leaders did not wish to offend either side and were trying their best to remain neutral.

 

Now that the Drunken Sword Immortal and Ming had left the palace hall, the statement from ‘Wang Wushang’ had an obvious meaning.

 

Hearing the statement, the majority of the people in the palace hall had changes in their expressions. Their soft discussions had also stopped.

 

The contest between Forces in the Heavenslayers Alliance was getting increasingly intense.

 

Deputy Alliance Leader Gu Wuwang might be handling the conflicts, but he still could not resolve the problem at its source.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance was simply too huge as it included all the ancient Forces of the Prosperous Dao True World, even the countless universes and worlds.

 

The benefits involved were immense. Even if there were Dao Realm experts, it was not possible to disregard and ignore the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Due to the Chaos Wondrous Root, it caused a conflict between Ming, the Drunken Sword Immortal, and ‘Wang Wushang’. It resulted in hostility from the three and putting them in a competitive relationship.

 

Seeing it from a long-term perspective, it might not do good for the Heavenslayers Alliance’s stability, but it would benefit its development and expansion.

 

“Today’s conversation isn’t to make everyone make their decisions quickly. It is to tell everyone that the road ahead is still long and to learn to look ahead.” Ni Chen’s hand was behind his back as he smiled with the posture of a superior.

 

Plenty of people were able to see a trace of Gu Changge’s image from him. Many of the people that wanted to remain neutral in this conflict of Forces were starting to waver.

 

After all, Gu Changge was supporting Ni Chen from behind. Even if Ni Chen was not able to contest with the two Dao Realm cultivators, the Drunken Sword Immortal and Ming still would not dare to do anything to Ni Chen. It meant that he was innately undefeatable.

 

Furthermore, as the Variable, he was the hope of the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

Cen Shuang, Ao Teng, and the others were watching silently with icy eyes. Nothing more they say would be useful at this moment.

 

‘Wang Wushang’ was a rising fletching; he did not even put ‘Uncle Yi’ who was an Immortal Emperor of the Celestial Ancient Races in his eyes.

 

“‘Wang Wushang’, do not think that you have the authority to do anything. Aren’t you afraid that you might displease my ‘Older Brother’ by doing all of this? He personally built up the Heavenslayers Alliance. Now that you are making it all chaotic, do you really think that he will be okay with this? If he could give you your current status, he could also make you fall instantly into the abyss and doomed forever.” At this moment, only Shen Xianer stood out and spoke coldly. She did not fear ‘Wang Wushang’ at all even with his current prowess. After all, her Cousin was none other than Gu Changge himself.

 

When she spoke, many people had changes in expressions as she was also a person with a background, one which they dared not offend.

 

Ni Chen did not really dare to do anything to Shen Xianer either. He turned around and spoke indifferently as his smile vanished, “Young Lady Shen doesn’t have to worry about such matters. The Alliance Leader has great foresight that is beyond your comprehension. Someone has to stand out and become the pillar of the future Prosperous Dao True World. Furthermore, do you really think that the Alliance Leader will mind all these?”

 

“To the Alliance Leader, the Heavenslayers Alliance might just be side-entertainment to him. If I am able to strengthen the Heavenslayers Alliance and make it flourish, do you think he will punish me?”

 

Ni Chen had lived for a very long time and believed he had a good grasp of Gu Changge’s thoughts. As long as he did not touch Gu Changge’s bottom line, the Heavenslayers Alliance would be in his control.

 

Moreover, Gu Changge was not in the Prosperous Dao True World and would not intervene with the Heavenslayers Alliance’s affairs.

 

Ni Chen’s reply made Shen Xianer speechless for a moment and had an expression of reluctance.

 

Her Master had been belittled by ‘Wang Wushang’ and as his disciple, she could not do anything.

 

[Only if Elder Sister is here…] When thinking about this, Shen Xianer was even more disheartened.

 

The people inside the palace hall were silenced and did not dare too speak much. It included followers of ‘Wang Wushang’ as they dare not offend Shen Xianer.

 

In their eyes, Shen Xianer was directly related to Gu Changge while ‘Wang Wushang’ was similar to a Successor.

 

At this moment, there were waves coming from a distance and it felt as though the void was shuddering. There were clashes of fearsome auras but there were also pauses of peace.

 

“The Seniors are back…”

 

When sensing the familiar auras, many of the people were relieved as they revealed delighted expressions.

 

‘Wang Wushang’ did not say anything else and turned to walk out of the palace hall.

 

Principles within the void were constantly trembling. Far in the skies, there seemed to be a golden path of light. It stretched across many universes, akin to a bridge between worlds.

 

Gu Wuwang, Ming, and the Drunken Sword Immortal were all standing on the golden path. Beside them was a white-browed old ape wearing monk robes and having benevolent eyes.

 

Behind the golden path of light, there were several individuals following behind. There were men and women who were surrounded with chaotic mist or dense miasma that covered the area.

 

“Senior Brother Qing Feng…” From inside the palace hall, Cen Shuang could clearly see a familiar figure on the golden path. Her voice involuntarily slipped out with her expression showing unconcealable surprise and excitement.

 

Those beside her, who had been living in the City of No Return, also recognised that figure. They were all exclaiming, “It is Lord Qing Feng, it is really Lord Qing Feng.”

 

“I didn’t think that Lord Qing Feng was still alive and would return.” The silver-robed man beside Cen Shuang who was ‘Uncle Yi’ had an astonished expression. It was obvious that he did not recognise Qing Feng.

 

“Uncle Yi, Senior Brother Qing Feng is a disciple accepted by Grandfather. He came from the Sea of No Return and had lost his memories. He then lived in the City of No Return while we were under our Master. Before the Azure Sea Realm got destroyed, Senior Brother Qing Feng had been on the search for a way to get to the Nine Heavens. He had been searching for the Ancestors of the Immortal Palace, trying to seek their help to help us tide through this current crisis…” Cen Shuang started to explain while feeling happy about Qing Feng’s safe return.
