147: Once again, they became famous throughout the Xuan Tian Realm.

[The moment you stepped into the Ancestral Hall, thirty-seven powerful auras locked onto you simultaneously.]

[Thirty-eight Prayer Mats floated in the center of the hall, with figures sitting cross-legged on thirty-seven of them. Some were old, some young, male or female, but without exception, they all radiated a suffocating pressure. These were the Divided Souls of all the Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerables of the Human Race.]

[Facing the gazes of multiple Heavenly Venerables, you didn't feel the slightest bit of stage fright and sat directly on the remaining Prayer Mat.]

["What a fine junior, neither humble nor arrogant." An old man dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes flashing with approval.]

[Your actions did not cause any dissatisfaction among the Heavenly Venerables; instead, they all cast approving glances your way.]

[Mainly because in their eyes, you had ascended to Dao Integration at such a young age. Anyone with such an achievement would be bursting with arrogance; your behavior was already considered very modest.]

[In the eyes of these powerhouses who had lived for countless years, a true Prodigy should be exactly like this—not shrinking back due to the power of others, nor becoming arrogant because of their own talent. Although, they hadn't really managed to do the same when they were young; not shrinking back was true, but not being arrogant was indeed very difficult.]

[The meeting was brief and efficient. Besides introducing you, the newly ascended Prodigy, to the various Heavenly Venerables, the most important resolution was to make the news of your imminent promotion to Dao Integration public.]

[The Heavenly Venerables unanimously agreed that with your deeds and achievements, you would surely become a role model to inspire the younger generation of the Human Race. Most importantly, once this news spread, combined with your previous performance in the Prodigy Competition, your influence in the Profound Heaven Realm would grow even higher, and the blessing of the World's Great Trend would become even more powerful.]

[You naturally did not object to making the news of your Breakthrough public, as it would be of great benefit to you.]

[As for whether having too much fame would make you a target? You felt that no race would be stupid enough to try and kill a Dao Integration Realm expert in the heart of the Human Race's territory.]

[After leaving the Wending Realm, you strolled leisurely above the clouds, recalling the introductions of the various Heavenly Venerables from the meeting.]

[Among so many Heavenly Venerables, the ones who interested you the most were the first Heavenly Venerable of the Human Race, Eternal Heavenly Venerate! As well as the two Heavenly Venerables from the Ethereal Holy Land.]

[The deeds of Eternal Heavenly Venerate were widely circulated among the Human Race; the current overall harmonious atmosphere of the Human Race was entirely thanks to him.]

[Eternal Heavenly Venerate was born at the end of the Desolate Void Era. At that time, various races were in constant conflict, which led the Human Race to be exceptionally united. The growth of Eternal Heavenly Venerate was inseparable from the selfless dedication of the Human Race's predecessors.]

[This experience filled Eternal Heavenly Venerate with deep affection for the Human Race and made him especially cherish that atmosphere of unity.]

[In this world where the strong are respected, the strength Eternal Heavenly Venerate possessed was precisely what allowed the Human Race to develop according to his vision.]

[Although there are still undercurrents within the Human Race today, it maintains a rare overall harmony.]

[Even the high and mighty Heavenly Venerables, though they occasionally have ideological disputes, ultimately reach a consensus for the benefit of the Human Race.]

[As for why the two Heavenly Venerables of the Ethereal Holy Land piqued your interest, it was naturally because their experiences were even more Xuanhuan compared to the legendary tales of other Heavenly Venerables; they were practically like characters who had stepped out of a novel.]

[The Ethereal Holy Land was considered the latest Holy Land to be established, and its two Heavenly Venerables were a pair of Dao Companions.]

[The male Heavenly Venerable was known as Heavenly Venerable Ethereal, while the female Heavenly Venerable was called Heavenly Venerable Dream Soul.]

[Through the narration of Old Ancestor Xuanji, you learned that the ethereal Heavenly Venerable Dream Soul was actually the very same Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable of the Soul Spirit Clan who had been besieged and killed back then!]

[That's right, you were also very surprised. Who would have thought that the former supreme powerhouse of the Soul Spirit Clan was actually a peerless female Heavenly Venerable? Moreover, she didn't die after being besieged but was instead reincarnated as a human!]

[What surprised you most was that Heavenly Venerable Ethereal had met the reincarnated Heavenly Venerable Dream Soul when he was still young. After that, the two went through countless hardships and finally both ascended to the position of Heavenly Venerable. They were the only Heavenly Venerable couple in the Human Race.]

[As for why a Soul Spirit Clan Heavenly Venerable would be reincarnated as a human, you didn't believe for a second that there wasn't some scheme by a Human Race Heavenly Venerable involved. Unfortunately, Old Ancestor Xuanji didn't tell you much about this matter.]

[However, based on your understanding, it was likely the work of some Heavenly Secret Venerable of the Human Race. But looking at Heavenly Venerable Dream Soul's attitude after regaining her memories, she didn't seem to harbor any resentment over this past.]

[Even after recovering her past life's memories, she and Heavenly Venerable Ethereal remained in perfect harmony.]

[This might be because the Human Race back then really only acted according to the circumstances, causing no substantial harm to the Soul Spirit Clan, and even preserved a core branch of the Soul Spirit Clan.]

[According to what you knew, the group of Soul Spirit Clan members brought back by the Human Race back then seemed to have been settled within the jurisdiction of the Ethereal Holy Land.]

[But besides these reasons, you felt the biggest factor might be that Heavenly Venerable Dream Soul also felt her being besieged in her past life was due to being isolated and without help. Now, having been reincarnated into the Human Race, she not only had the entire Human Race as her backing but also a Heavenly Venerable Dao Companion—wasn't this much better than her previous life?]

[While you were wandering around, the news of the Human Race gaining another Dao Integration Dao Venerable spread through the entire Profound Heaven Realm like a clap of thunder, causing a massive uproar among the myriad races.]

[What shocked the various races even more was that this newly ascended Dao Venerable was actually the champion of the Prodigy Competition from years ago—you, who were hailed as the "Number One of the Younger Generation"!]

[In fact, when you won the last Prodigy Competition with overwhelming force, many races were paying attention to you, and some were even considering assassinating you.]

[Unfortunately, you hadn't left the Azure Profound Grotto-Heaven since that competition, and there was very little news about you. No one expected that when you finally reappeared, you would have directly become a Dao Integration Dao Venerable.]

[This completely stumped them. Wait, what?! How long has it been? Is this leveling speed even right?]

[The high-level officials of the various races who had been planning to assassinate you held emergency meetings overnight to discuss countermeasures. Ultimately, they had to admit that the difficulty of assassinating a Dao Integration Realm expert in the heart of the Human Race's territory compared to assassinating a Void Refining Realm expert was like the difference between heaven and earth.]

[Moreover, the one they wanted to kill was you—the one who could be called the greatest Genius in the history of the Human Race and a future Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable! Thus, they had no choice but to cancel their plans against you.]
