“As for the other two Primitive Celestial Bodies…” Mu Chen’s voice rang throughout the hall, and mixed emotions flit across all of the Heavenly Sovereigns’ faces. Such a condition was still shocking, even under the current circumstances.
There were only five Primitive Celestial Bodies in today’s Great Thousand World, each of which was rare and powerful. This was why Maha Tian had lost his composure and was even willing to go to war when Mu Chen obtained the Primordial Immortal Body from the Maha Ancient Clan.
Today, however, in addition to the Primordial Immortal Body, Mu Chen wanted to obtain two more Primitive Celestial Bodies. To accomplish such a feat would be quite astounding.
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at each other for a moment, then looked at the heads or Chief Elders of the other four ancient clans, except Maha Tian. This was because the other four Primitive Celestial Bodies were guarded by these four ancient clans.
In the face of the Flame Emperor’s and Martial Ancestor’s glances, other than Qing Yangjing, the other three’s gazes flickered. After all, the Primitive Celestial Body was so important that even they could not simply speak up and offer it to anyone. Hence, an awkward silence spread throughout the hall.
“I am willing to contribute my clan’s Endless Light Body.” Amid this awkward atmosphere, Qing Yanjing took the lead in speaking up first.
Although she was the Chief Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, since her offer regarded the Endless Light Body, such an oath would require the consent of all of the elders. However, this was a crucial life or death juncture for the entire Great Thousand World, so she had spoken up boldly in the moment.
After all, if they were unable to resist the Heavenly Evil Deity within five years, then the entire Budur Ancient Clan would be destroyed! If that happened, there would be no use even in fighting to preserve the Endless Light Body. Of course, more importantly, Mu Chen was her son, so she would naturally overcome any difficulty in order to give him her full support.
After hearing Qing Yanjing’s words, the members of rest of the three clans all smiled bitterly as they thought… Mu Chen is your son and the current Clan Leader, so of course you would give him your full support!
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor nodded. As the second Primitive Celestial Body had just been made available, they knew that this meant that there was only one left.
This worried the Great Nether Ancestor, Clan Leader Hei Tian, and Clan Leader Huang Qiu, but none of them spoke up, as they were apparently waiting for others to speak first. Amid this stalemate of a situation, Luo Li’s gaze flickered, and she smiled as she looked at Great Nether Ancestor and said, “Elder Great Nether…”
Upon hearing Luo Li’s voice, Great Nether Ancestor trembled, then smiled at her sheepishly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuo Li then asked in a soft voice, “As the Great Spirit Ancient Clan’s Holy Maiden, I should also have a say in the decision-making process, right?”
Great Nether Ancestor nodded and smiled bitterly. “The Holy Maiden is akin to the Clan Leader, so you naturally have a large part of the power when it comes to making a decision.”
“The Great Spirit Sacred Body is the greatest treasure of our Great Spirit Ancient Clan, so it is understandable that you have hesitated. However, I would like to ask Elder, if the Great Spirit Ancient Clan ceases to exist, what is the use of leaving the Great Spirit Sacred Body behind?” Luo Li’s tone was gentle, but the implication of her words caused the Great Nether Ancestor to become tense.
If there was no third person to appear on the list, in five years, the Great Thousand World would be destroyed. By then, the Spirit Ancient Clan would be the first to bear the brunt of the repercussions.
Great Nether Ancestor remained silent for a long time, then finally sighed bitterly and said, “The Holy Maiden is right. At such a time, if we still hide our Celestial Bodies, we are basically just waiting for our clans to be annihilated.”
He then looked up at the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and Mu Chen and murmured, “In that case, the Great Spirit Ancient Clan would be willing to entrust the Great Spirit Sacred Body to our young friend, Mu Chen.”
“Thank you so much, Elder Great Spirit,” Mu Chen said as he clasped his fists together respectfully, his face solemn.
Clan Leader Hei Tian and Clan Leader Huang Qiu were embarrassed to see that Great Nether Ancestor was willing to hand over the Great Spirit Sacred Body to Mu Chen. After all, Mu Chen’s actions had all been for the sake of all the beings of the Great Thousand World.
“If necessary, our two clans can also contribute our Primitive Celestial Bodies.” Although the two men said this a bit late, Mu Chen smiled at them to express his gratitude nonetheless.
“Three Primitive Celestial Bodies gathered in one is something that has never happened before. Don’t disappoint us.” Seeing this scene, Maha Tian’s eyes could not help but turn red with envy as he spoke.
With a faint smile, Mu Chen said, “I will do my best, as I am aware of the consequences if I fail.”
Maha Tian said nothing more. Although he was jealous, he could tell what was important and what was trivial.
He knew that Mu Chen was undoubtedly the Great Thousand World’s last hope. Hence, at least in this instance, he hoped that Mu Chen would be successful.
“Now that the problem of the two Primitive Celestial Bodies has been solved,” the Flame Emperor said, “We now have to think about how we can allow you to break through to the Divine Grade in five years.”
In the hall, all of the Heavenly Sovereigns frowned. Mu Chen was only at the middle-stage God Grade now, and it was not an easy feat for even highly talented prodigies to break through from the middle-stage God Grade to the Divine Grade in just five years. Thus, between now and then, Mu Chen would need to avail himself of a great opportunity.
At that moment, the Undying Lord looked up at Mu Chen and said in a hoarse voice, “In five years’ time, it would not be impossible for you to break through to the Divine Grade with your talent, that is, if we rely on some external assistance…”
Upon hearing this, all of the Heavenly Sovereigns looked at him with wide eyes. Then, Mu Chen asked the question that was on everyone’s mind, “What kind of external assistance?”
The Undying Lord sighed. He then stretched out his fingers and pointed to the Northern Wilderness Hills. “In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor fought against the Heavenly Evil Deity, then finally sealed it at the cost of his life,” he said with a faint smile. “However, the Immortal Emperor had cultivated the Primordial Immortal Body, and thus, his flesh was immortal. So, even if he exhausted his life, the flesh would remain.”
He then added, “At the same time, the spiritual energy that the Immortal Emperor cultivated throughout his life also exists in his Immortal Body. That energy is infinitely vast, and we call that the Great Emperor’s Legacy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden uproar in the hall. A touch of fervor flashed in all the Heavenly Sovereigns’ eyes. This glimpse of fervor was the life-long power of the Immortal Emperor!
Even though it had been consumed as the years had passed, it was still a tremendous force. If one could absorb and refine it, it may indeed be possible for him to ascend to the Divine Grade!
“However, the spiritual power in the Immortal Emperor contains immortality, and others simply cannot absorb any of it. If they attempt to do so forcefully, they will only be oppressed instead.” The Undying Lord’s next statement quenched all of the previous eagerness that had just filled the Heavenly Sovereigns’ eyes mere moments before.
The Undying Lord smiled gently at Mu Chen, then added, “Thus, only those who have cultivated the Primordial Immortal Body can receive this Great Emperor’s Legacy.”
“Haha! Speaking of the Great Emperor’s Legacy, it seems like it was meant expressly for Lord Mu… And now is the perfect time!” one of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the hall said, while the rest of them clicked their tongues.
They could not resist looking at Mu Chen with envy, while thinking… This guy truly has obtained all of the best opportunities in the Great Thousand World!
Moreover, he has been made into a bonafide hero…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll of the Heavenly Sovereigns sighed internally. In ordinary times, just possessing those two Primitive Celestial Bodies would not be easy to handle, not to mention the Great Emperor’s Legacy. But, at this time, only Mu Chen had the courage to bear the burden of being responsible for the survival of the whole Great Thousand World. Hence, they had to accept his superhero status, as it did seem as if he was indeed earning it!
Even Qin Tian and the other later stage Divine Grades dared not accept such a responsibility. As the saying goes, “If you want to wear a crown, you have to bear its weight!” While enjoying these top opportunities, one must also bear the responsibility that they bring.
As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor saw that these two conditions were finally satisfied, they both heaved a sigh of relief. They then looked at Mu Chen solemnly, while Martial Ancestor said, “You have satisfied both conditions. What happens next is up to you.”
Mu Chen nodded softly, then replied, “I will do my best.”
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor nodded, then stood up together. A strong oppression spread out and their faces looked extremely cold.
Martial Ancestor then said, “But, in the next few months, we will not stay idle. From now on, announce the Heavenly Evil Deity’s plan of destroying the world. Also, gather all of the forces of the Great Thousand World, as we are declaring war on the Extraterritorial Race.”
The Flame Emperor then jumped in and said, “Since the Heavenly Evil Deity wants to have five years to recover, then we will destroy his peace. Martial Ancestor and I will always find him, force him to fight with us, and delay his recovery time!”
In the hall, all of the Heavenly Sovereigns stood up, murderous intent evident on their faces. Since the Extraterritorial Race was bent on annihilating their Great Thousand World, they were ready to fight to the death in order to defend their home.
In the Great Thousand Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and intense. Mu Chen was even affected by this atmosphere, and as he stood up, his face was cold and grave.
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at him and smiled. Martial Ancestor then said, “But, you don’t have to take part in the next war. For five years, you have to stay in the Northern Wilderness Hills to receive the Great Emperor’s Legacy and cultivate the two other Primitive Celestial Bodies. You must step into the Divine Grade and finally make it onto the Heaven’s Declaration list.”
He then added, “Then, when the worst comes, this is the only way that we will have any chance to retaliate.”
Although Mu Chen regretted the fact that he could not take part in the great war, he also knew that his duty was the most important factor to this whole equation, so he immediately nodded. The Flame Emperor’s and Martial Ancestor’s eyes then turned to gaze at the Heavenly Sovereigns.
The Flame Emperor then said, “Everyone, please return to your own clans. In two months, you will gather your forces and assemble at the Great Thousand World’s borders. We will then launch a counter-attack on the Demons’ Domain!”
“Yes!” In the hall, all the Heavenly Sovereigns roared in response altogether, the sheer volume of their collective voices shaking the entire palace.
In the next moment, all of their silhouettes were seen surging into the sky as they charged out of the Northern Wilderness Hills. As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at their retreating figures, their faces turned cold and serious.
This was because they knew that this news that would soon spread from the palace throughout the world was bound to shock the whole Great Thousand World. At that point, the previous tranquillity of the Great Thousand World would cease to exist.
