278: Join forces?

It floated around the octahedron, spinning in orbit.

The next moment, these Worldly Wonders surged like a tide, frantically pouring into the eight faces.

The next moment, the octahedron's trembling weakened, gradually stabilizing.

“Still not enough!”

A voice echoed, the same voice from Xiao Ancestor.

Upon hearing this, the three Clan Leaders immediately ordered their clan members to go out and collect Worldly Spiritual Objects as quickly as possible.

No matter what method they used, whether it was searching, trading, or even looting.

The situation was urgent, and they couldn't afford to be particular.

Even the three Clan Leaders themselves had to personally go and collect them.

This kind of life-threatening task demanded their full attention.

If the Celestial Aberration won in the end, the other inhabitants of the Celestial Dome Continent might still have a chance to live.

But the people of their Eight Clans would absolutely be liquidated and brought down.

It was estimated that even the earthworms in their clans would be split in half.

Xiao Ancestor’s voice came again.

“No, there isn’t enough time, and the quantity isn’t enough either.

What you collect might not be enough for us to use!”

Xiao Dou gritted his teeth, “Then what should we do, Ancestor?”

“You all go first!”

After that, Xiao Ancestor's voice was heard no more.

The people of the three clans nodded and quickly all disappeared from the scene.

After a while, ripples of energy emanated from the octahedron.

The ripples spread incredibly fast, covering the entire Celestial Dome Continent in less than three breaths.

When the ripples reached the people of the Celestial Dome Continent, a voice resonated in their minds.

This greatly surprised some people with lower cultivation, or even no cultivation at all, as there was no sound in their ears.

Yet, this voice had clearly appeared in their minds.

Those with high cultivation immediately became vigilant. To possess such power...

To be able to directly transmit a divine sense signal into his mind without him noticing.

What kind of cultivation was this? If he had ill intentions towards him…

But before they could be surprised, everyone was shocked by the content of the voice in the next moment.

If what the other party said was true, then they…

“The Celestial Aberration of a million years ago has reappeared, dormant for countless years, and now it has returned to the world.

It is now on the verge of breaking through to the Ancestor Realm. Once it succeeds, the entire Celestial Dome Continent will be enslaved.

Currently, the eight of us have confined it to Jue Tian Place.

We are attempting to purify it, but our power is insufficient, and we do not know if we will succeed.”

“Now, we need everyone’s help to fight the Celestial Aberration one more time.”

“Worldly Wonders… Worldly Wonders… Worldly Wonders!”

These words caused a massive shock in the hearts of all living beings on the Celestial Dome Continent.

Especially those in lower realms, who could only drift with the currents of fate.

A feeling called despair rose in their hearts.

Some were disdainful, some were fearful, some were expectant…

“What is this? Some random voice says the world is ending soon, and giving him X X X will save my life? If I believed that, I’d be a real idiot.”

“How many years has it been since Eight Ancestor Zhan Tian? Over a million years!

The Celestial Aberration was long ago defeated by the Eight Ancestors. If it were still around, why would it only appear now?”

“What if, what if what that voice said is true?

He's so powerful, he can speak directly in my mind. He shouldn't be lying to me, right?”

…

This was a place filled with violence, an unregulated black zone.

Revenge killings, manhunts, passion killings, robberies, gang fights, verbal disputes leading to brawls, and public rapes.

These acts were constantly unfolding here.

At this moment, a slender woman on the street, pinned on a table by a group of people and being X X, looked at the people in front of her, a strong hatred welling up in her eyes.

“Die, die, let’s all die together, and let this sinful world be destroyed along with us!”

…

Unlike the cultivators of the middle and lower realms, high-level cultivators understood very well what that scene meant.

They now knew that this was a widespread telepathic message.

According to the information they received, the range of the telepathic message was extremely vast.

They didn't know about the other regions, but in Central State, everyone had received the message.

Moreover, the location was Jue Tian Place.

That was the place where the Eight Ancestors and the Celestial Aberration had their final battle a million years ago!

Some people happened to possess a Worldly Wonder that the Eight Ancestors needed.

Unlike the lower realms who passively accepted their fate, their dilemma was what choice they should make.

Worldly Wonders could be said to be one of the most precious things on the Celestial Dome Continent.

Every single one of them had obtained these items through immense hardship and at a painful cost.

Now, asking them to hand them over was a difficult decision.

Besides, so many people had them; one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

But what if, by chance, they were just missing his one?

In life, nothing is more painful than making a choice.

No one knows if they will regret their decision for the rest of their lives, or celebrate it forever.

Summoning their Worldly Spiritual Objects, they took a glance, and finally made their decision…

Central State, Forge Tower!

The Forge Tower was the strongest power in Central State, besides the Eight Clans.

Back then, the old man in the ring, Xuan Yun, came from this Forge Tower.

He had studied here for a period in his youth and it was also where he made his name.

Later, for some reasons, he left and, along with his friends, founded the Sun-Moon Pavilion.

On the Celestial Dome Continent, anyone who came out of the Forge Tower was never weak.

Rumor had it that an old monster in the Piming Realm Eighth Layer was stationed there.

The true strength of the Forge Tower was even greater than some of the lower-ranked clans among the Eight Clans.

However, due to differences in their organizational structure, their cohesion was somewhat weaker than that of the Eight Clans.

At this moment, the Forge Tower's council meeting was already crowded with people.

They had all gathered voluntarily within half an incense stick's time after hearing that voice.

With such an event occurring, any influential force was holding emergency meetings.

The Forge Tower was no exception.

The Piming Realm Eighth Layer expert of the Forge Tower was real, and he had spoken, so the news was very likely true.

No one except those in the Ancestor Realm possessed such ability.

So at this time, what they were discussing was, what should be done about this matter?

Honestly, their relationship with the Eight Clans was neither good nor bad.

After all, they had always been suppressed by the Eight Clans for a long time.

But the current issue concerned the entire Celestial Dome Continent.

Therefore, they wanted to help.

Because the cultivation methods of the Eight Clans differed from the outside world, their demand for Worldly Wonders was not very high.

Precisely because of this, the Forge Tower was the force with the most Worldly Wonders in all of Central State.

However, if they handed over the Worldly Wonders, the impact on them would also be the greatest.

Fierce discussions began, dividing into several factions: the 'full surrender' faction, the 'half surrender' faction, and the 'no surrender' faction…
