532: Blessed by the power of Heaven

The representatives of all the forces looked at Ye Xuan with gazes that held a deeper sense of dread amidst their awe.

This Alliance Leader not only possessed heaven-defying strength but also acted with decisive ruthlessness, balancing kindness with authority, ensuring no one dared harbor the slightest disloyalty.

As if nothing had happened, Ye Xuan raised his cup again, his tone returning to a calm composure.

"Everyone, let us drink together."

"To the Alliance Leader!"

Ye Xuan had used his supreme prestige to intimidate the Elder of the Nether Bone Sea, thoroughly purging the last bit of dissent within the Star Alliance.

Inside the Myriad Stars Hall, the sounds of clinking glasses rose again, but the atmosphere was better than before; all the representatives were fully convinced and no longer had any ulterior motives.

The Alliance banquet lasted for a full three days.

During these three days, not only did the hosts and guests enjoy themselves, but more importantly, under Ye Xuan's guidance, the preliminary structure of the Star Alliance was established.

The Council of Elders was established, composed of representatives nominated by each member force, responsible for the consultation and decision-making of daily affairs.

The War Hall was established, led by the Ye Family, with personnel from core forces like the Hengyu Imperial Court and the Black-Yellow Great World joining to handle external enemies.

The Resource Hall was established, responsible for the allocation of resources within the Alliance, tracking contribution points, and distributing rewards.

At the same time, Ye Xuan fulfilled his promise, opening up some of the Ye Family's cultivation Secret Realms and Formation records for Alliance members to exchange with contribution points.

He also allocated a batch of rare resources as the Alliance's initial reserves, a move that won the unanimous satisfaction of all members.

Three days later, the representatives of various forces returned fully laden, while also bringing the shocking news of the Myriad Worlds Star Alliance's founding and Ye Xuan's single-punch defeat of the Lord of the Black Fiend Abyss back to their respective domains.

It was foreseeable that this matter would surely set off massive waves across the Myriad Realms.

After seeing off the guests, the Ziwei Great Emperor Star gradually returned to its former order.

However, everyone knew that the retreat of the Black Fiend Abyss was by no means the end; a greater storm was brewing.

Deep within the Imperial Palace, Ye Xuan gathered with several core members.

"The Alliance treaty is newly set; although hearts are gathered, the Foundation is still shallow."

Ning Qingxue spoke first, a hint of gravity between her brows.

"The Black Fiend Abyss has been wounded this time and will certainly not let matters rest. The attitude of the Nirvana Ancient Palace is unclear, and the primordial taboo hidden behind the scenes is an even greater threat. Furthermore, on the Heavenly Court's side..."

She looked at Xuanji and did not continue.

Xuanji's expression remained calm as she picked up the thread, "I have already received a message from my brother, Can Xiu. There is great controversy within the Heavenly Court regarding my joining the Star Alliance. Those old fogies led by Wu Gui have not yet expressed their stance."

"But several of those ancient royal families and descendants of War Gods who have been silent for years have already voiced their dissatisfaction. Some have even demanded that my brother hand over the position of Lord of the Heavenly Court."

Her tone was cold, as if she were speaking of something unrelated to herself, but a hint of chill was hidden deep in her eyes.

Those so-called ancient royal families were merely people relying on their ancestors' legacy, occupying positions without doing any work, yet now they wanted to jump out and dictate terms.

Xuanji had always loathed those people to the extreme, and their current behavior only fanned the flames of anger in her heart.

Fire Linger gave a cold snort, "If they dare to come, we can settle both new and old scores at once!"

She had always remembered the grievances between the Ye Family and the Heavenly Court.

If it weren't for Xuanji, she would have been unable to resist demanding an explanation long ago.

Tang Linglong looked at Ye Xuan, "Husband, the priority now is to improve the Star Alliance's overall strength as quickly as possible, especially our high-end combat power. Relying on just the few of us to handle pressure from multiple sides will ultimately be taxing."

"Moreover, if you leave, we won't be able to withstand their attacks; at most, we can only defend."

Ye Xuan naturally understood the current situation.

The Star Alliance had just been established; it seemed grand on the surface, but it faced both internal troubles and external threats.

"Qingxue, you will be fully responsible for the daily operations and resource integration of the Star Alliance. Get the Alliance on the right track as soon as possible."

"Linger, Linglong, the Star Domain's defenses and the training of the Ye Family disciples and Alliance Cultivators must not be neglected. Convert the newly acquired resources into combat power as quickly as possible."

"Xuanji."

Ye Xuan looked at her.

"Closely monitor the movements within the Heavenly Court. If they can be divided and won over, there is no need for force. But if some remain obstinate..."

He paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"You make the final decision. The Ziwei Star Domain is your backing."

"I understand."

Xuanji nodded, already having a plan in mind.

It was time to make those old fogies, who had been silent for too long, face reality.

If they were unwilling, then force would be the only option.

After finishing the instructions, everyone left to execute their tasks.

Only Ye Xuan remained in the hall.

He slowly closed his eyes, sinking his mind into his body.

The chaos dao seed rotated slowly in his Sea of Consciousness. Within the gray mist, that wisp of Nirvana power obtained from the Return to Ruins moved like a phantom, reaching a delicate balance with the Chaos Qi.

After the long-distance exchange with the Lord of the Black Fiend Abyss, his control over his own power seemed to have become a bit more refined.

"Strength... is still not enough."

Although the Lord of the Black Fiend Abyss was heavily injured, that was not the full strength of his true body.

The primordial taboo hidden behind the scenes was even more unfathomable.

To truly control his own fate and that of the Star Alliance, and to protect everything he cared about, he had to possess even greater power.

He thought of the memory fragments left by Tai Hao that had not yet been fully fused.

He thought of the unfathomable depths of the Chaos.

He thought of that mysterious Dragon Clan will inside Ya Ya's body. None of these had been resolved yet; he had to find a way.

Just as he was deep in thought, the chaos dao seed at his brow suddenly vibrated slightly, and an extremely faint ripple carrying the aura of the Heavenly Dao merged into the dao seed.

"This is... the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's Luck?"

Ye Xuan's heart stirred.

The establishment of the Star Alliance gathered a portion of the Luck from the Myriad Realms, and as the Alliance Leader, he naturally received the greatest feedback.

While this Luck could not directly increase his cultivation, it could help him comprehend the Great Dao and had an indescribable utility for breaking through Bottlenecks.

"Perhaps, it is time to try and charge toward that step..."

A thought rose in Ye Xuan's mind.

His current Realm was already at the Peak of Immortal Emperor. One step further would be the legendary touching of the dao source.

The supreme Realm of transcending Reincarnation.

However, this step had stumped countless brilliant and talented individuals throughout the ages.

Just as Ye Xuan was planning his next stage of cultivation, his expression suddenly shifted. His gaze pierced through layers of palace walls, looking toward a certain void at the edge of the Ziwei Star Domain.

Almost simultaneously, Xuanji, who had just left, returned with a grave expression: "Ye Xuan, did you feel it? That ripple..."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "It seems some entities are even more impatient than we imagined."

...Beyond the extremely distant borders of the Ziwei Star Domain, a patch of originally calm chaotic void was now rippling with eerie waves.

The ripples carried an ancient aura, silently attempting to penetrate the Star Domain's barriers.

This aura was completely different from the violent destruction of the Black Fiend Abyss; it was more subtle and even more dangerous.

"It is the methods of the Bewitching God Star Sea!"

Xuanji's cold voice carried a hint of disgust.

"Those cowards who hide their heads and show their tails are best at bewitching people's hearts and creating internal strife. They must know the Star Alliance was just founded and want to cause trouble!"

"We absolutely cannot go easy on them."
