Clang!
The next day, the ringing of the ancient bell echoed in every corner of the city. After a brief silence, countless figures flew like a group of locusts, heading straight towards the center of Aeon City.
In the center of the city, there was a bare and unimpressive-looking mountain. Right on the top of the mountain stood an ancient and mottled stone pagoda.
The stone pagoda was unimpressive. However, all of the top powers who got within a thousand miles of the pagoda could feel an oppressive feeling coming from it, which pierced through space and turned their expressions sombre and caused fear to flash through their eyes.
This stone pagoda, which was called the Ancient Pagoda, was rumored to have been built by the Immortal Emperor himself. Almost everybody held some measure of respect towards this first top power, who had once saved the Great Thousand World.
“Is this the Ancient Pagoda?” Mu Chen asked as he, Qing Yanjing, and Budur Xuan materialized at a tower near the mountain. They all stared at the Ancient Pagoda with sombre expressions.
“The Immortal Emperor built it! Although the stone pagoda is thousands of years old, it can still deliver a sense of dread to one’s heart,” Budur Xuan said, while staring at the stone pagoda. When faced with the stone pagoda, even he, who was a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, could feel a sense of danger and dread.
“The strength of the Immortal Emperor seemed to have been even stronger than that of a Divine Heavenly Sovereign!” Mu Chen murmured before becoming silent for a few seconds. He had met a few Divine Heavenly Sovereigns before, but none of them could raise such an ominous feeling within him.
Qing Yanjing nodded slightly, then said solemnly, “The Immortal Emperor was beyond the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level.”
“Beyond even that?” Mu Chen was shocked.
“In today’s Great Thousand World, among the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns, only two have the chance to reach the level of the Immortal Emperor,” Budur Xuan said in a low tone.
Hearing this, Mu Chen’s eyes sparkled. “The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor?” he guessed.
Of all the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns, only these two could raise such an indescribable feeling inside of him. They were like the vast ocean, unpredictable and possessing unfathomable depths.
Budur Xuan sighed, then spoke of them admiringly, “Although they were born in the Lower Planes, their natural talents were extraordinary. As such, it is definitely possible for them to achieve the Immortal Emperor’s level one day.”
“If that is so, then this is good news for the Great Thousand World. After all, we will no longer have to fear the Extraterritorial Race with the two of them on our side!” Mu Chen smiled.
Qing Yanjing shook her head and had a sombre expression on her face. Budur Xuan was equally solemn.
“You underestimate the power of the Extraterritorial Race. Back when they invaded the Great Thousand World, the Great Thousand World alliance was defeated by them at every turn. Even with the support of the Immortal Emperor, the situation could only be stabilized, but not won. In the end, almost half of the Great Thousand World’s territory was occupied by the Extraterritorial Race.”
Qing Yanjing sighed softly. “That war was not considered a victory for the Great Thousand World. Instead, it was known that the Extraterritorial Race had simply put their offense on hold. However, most importantly, the top power of the Extraterritorial Race, Sky-Devouring God, was sealed by the Immortal Emperor. After losing their leader, the rest of the Extraterritorial Race had no choice but to end the war.”
Mu Chen’s expression was somber and had a bitter feeling in his heart. He could hardly imagine the tragic situations that the Great Thousand World had faced during that invasion.
Now, one single mistake could cause the countless spiritual beings in the Great Thousand World to be once again enslaved by the Extraterritorial Race. He had seen the fates of those spiritual beings who were enslaved by the Extraterritorial Race in the Lower Plane. They were treated like livestock.
“These past few years, the Extraterritorial Race has been planning something, but we have no intel about their current situation. If a new Devouring God has been born, there will be no more peace in the Great Thousand World,” Budur Xuan said in a low tone.
Seeing their solemn expressions, Mu Chen quickly attempted to comfort them. “We do not have to worry yet. When the time comes, if the Extraterritorial Race tries to make a comeback, then we shall fight them with all of our might. After all, the Immortal Emperor managed to defeat them back then, and the Great Thousand World today is much stronger than it was back then.”
Clang!
Just as Mu Chen was reassuring them, the ancient bell rang once again, while more figures dropped out of the sky to surround the stone pagoda. Mu Chen lifted his head, while scanning the figures, his gaze resting in front of the stone pagoda.
There, a huge group of figures stood on top of the great stone platform, and at their forefront, Mu Chen saw a familiar figure. It was Maha You.
