Chapter 1069 Settling Scores (2/2)

“The Battle of the Heavens?!”

When all the outside forces regained their respect for the Tianyuan Region, Zhuan Zhu announced in the Tianyuan Utopia’s conference hall the news that the Sacred Race’s supreme sovereign had given them, and everyone’s mind unsurprisingly went blank.

Only Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun, clan leader Bian Chang, Mu Ni and Zhou Yuan were in the meeting hall

Zhou Yuan was now truly one of the grand elders in the Tianyuan Region. He had replaced Bai Ye on Zhuan Zhu’s order. Given Zhuan Zhu’s current prestige in the Tianyuan Region, his order was met with few objections.

Zhou Yuan was a little helpless about this. He wasn’t interested in the position of grand elder and felt his senior brother had unkind intentions in giving him the position.

My senior brother wants others to work but wants to do nothing himself. He had tricked senior sister Chi Jing with the excuse he had to go into closed-door cultivation, but now he is planning to deceive his junior brother?

Zhou Yuan felt a little defeated because Zhuan Zhu had used his usual tactic…

”What is the Battle of the Heavens?” Zhou Yuan blankly looked at Chi Jing and the others.

Chi Jing grew serious and said, ”As the name suggests, it is a battle that affects the nine heavens of Tianyuan World.”

Zhou Yuan’s heart trembled. That scale is a bit scary, isn’t it?

Mu Ni looked at Zhou Yuan and explained, “It is rumored that the ancestral dragon was born at the beginning of the universe. Later, the ancestral dragon formed all things on earth and subsequently led to the birth of the living beings in Tianyuan World. In Tianyuan World, there is a special existence, the ancestral land formed from the ancestral fragment that gave birth to the ancestral dragon. We call it Guyuan Heaven. This heaven isn’t one of the nine heavens but an independent existence.

“Guyuan Heaven is extremely mysterious. It contains the most ancient Genesis Qi, which we call ancestral qi. The Guyuan Heaven connects to the nine heavens. However, these channels are always closed and will only open at a specific time...”

Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed. ”At a specific time...could it be during the so-called Battle of the Heavens?”

Mu Ni nodded. ”Yes, the so-called Battle of the Heavens is actually a competition for the distribution rights of the oldest universe Genesis Qi within Guyuan Heaven.

”Do you know why our Hunyuan Heaven became the strongest of the five heavens besides the four heavens of the Sacred Race?

“That's because Hunyuan Heaven had repeatedly won the largest share of ancestral qi after the Sacred Race in the past Battles of the Heavens. Because of that, Hunyuan Heaven’s Genesis Qi is filled with an essence that allows countless heaven prides to be born.

”Everyone in Hunyuan Heaven, including us, is actually blessed by that!”

Zhou Yuan was a little stunned. There is such a deep reason for Hunyuan Heaven’s Genesis Qi to be so strong!

Cangxuan Heaven is always ranked at the bottom in terms of strength. Could the reason be that it came last time and time again in the Battle of Heavens?

“Calculating the time, the Battle of Heavens happens around once every thousand years, but it’s not time yet. The Sacred Race insists on starting it, so we have to quickly prepare,” said Zhuan Zhu helplessly.

”Why are we so passive?” Zhou Yuan said puzzledly.

Zhuan Zhu sighed, ”Because the Sacred Race is much stronger, they can forcibly open up the Guyuan Heaven, but we can't. They only informed us because the Guyuan Heaven follows a certain rule: the more heavens that participate, the stronger the ancestral qi it births.”

“In simple terms, what the Sacred Race wants is not only their share of ancestral qi but also the five heavens’.”

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly. ”If this is the case, it seems we have to rely on the major players like you.”

In Zhou Yuan's view, only people like Zhuan Zhu and Chi Jing could participate in a battle of that level, which concerned all heavens.

But Zhuan Zhu stroked his chin and grinned at Zhou Yuan.

”Little junior brother, you’re wrong. This matter is not only dependent on us. We also need to rely on you.”
