233: Thoughts of the Ancestor of Man

“Negotiate peace?”

In Yang Heaven Palace, the Five Ancestors reconvened.

“Hmph! Is this a sign of weakness? I say we should just exterminate them. Otherwise, where would the dignity of our Five Sects be?”

Blade Ancestor has always been straightforward and decisive in his actions. When Blade Ancestor wanted to ascend the Divine Mountain, the other three hesitated and prevaricated, but he directly made his move.

Sword Dao and Blade Dao Cultivators have always been like this, possessing an extremely firm Martial Dao Heart.

“Kill, kill, kill! You brute only know how to kill! Have you considered the consequences?”

Human Ancestor seized every opportunity to retort, if he couldn't win a fight, he would use his words.

“Wen Tingxian, do you want to fight?”

“I have no objection!”

Human Ancestor showed no weakness, knowing full well that a fight wouldn't actually break out.

“Alright, both of you!”

Heaven Ancestor came out to mediate.

Demon Ancestor and Monster Ancestor had calm expressions; such events had occurred countless times throughout these ancient years.

“I actually think we can negotiate peace!”

Monster Ancestor spoke at the opportune moment: “We are already the Peak existences of Tianyang World, and everyone knows that it’s impossible for a Great Dao to appear in Tianyang World, unless someone can Breakthrough to Great Emperor.”

“In the past, Tianyang Great God passed down the Divine Spirit Method, allowing us to rise from Quasi-Emperor Perfection to our current Realm. But the Divine Dao is lost, there is no Heavenly and Earthly conferment, and Power Of Faith can only enhance our combat power, but it cannot allow us to Breakthrough to the position of a True God!”

“What’s more, our five Primordial Spirits are stored in the Heavenly Dao of Tianyang World, which allows us to have Eternal life. If there truly is a strong Cultivator from behind the Eternal Realm who acts to destroy Tianyang World, then the five of us will not escape either. Which is more important, I ask my four Fellow Daoists to consider carefully!”

As soon as these words came out, the other Four Ancestors began to ponder.

“And one more thing, that old man promised in the conditions that he would reserve a place for the people of Tianyang World to rest and recuperate in the Eternal Great World. Whether it's for the sake of our Five Sects or for the common people of Tianyang World, we all need a place to live in the Eternal Great World!”

“Of course, we can also fight our way through, but if that causes dissatisfaction among those Peak races, Tianyang World will surely be destroyed!”

Monster Ancestor had already learned from Murong Zhi that the Peak forces had Emperors, and this was what he feared.

Perhaps within Tianyang World, they were not afraid of ordinary Great Emperors, but if the opponent found their coordinates and attacked Tianyang World from a distant place, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to Tianyang World, and similarly, an indelible impact on the Heavenly Dao of Tianyang World.

Whether Great Emperor powerhouses would act was unknown, but no one dared to gamble.

And Tianyang World could be said to be the base camp of the five. The living beings in Tianyang World were basically all followers of the five, and as long as Tianyang World was not destroyed, the five could exist forever, until the lifespan of Tianyang World came to an end.

So, unless absolutely necessary, they would not abandon Tianyang World.

“Then, negotiate peace?”

Heaven Ancestor’s gaze looked towards Demon Ancestor!

“Let’s negotiate peace! Recently, a Divine Thief has also appeared within the territory, and those forces on the front lines are already disinclined to fight. This matter will be handed over to Fellow Daoist Wen to handle. As fellow Human Race, I imagine you will have more topics to discuss!”

Demon Ancestor looked at the expressions of the Four Ancestors and made the decision.

“Very well!” Human Ancestor agreed.

Demon Ancestor continued: “Speaking of which, this Divine Thief is also strange. Even I, with the help of the Power of Heavenly Dao, cannot trace him. This person is definitely extraordinary, and from the revelation of the Heavenly Dao, this person should not be made an enemy!”

“I imagine those Martial Artist from Eternal Realm know his identity. Fellow Daoist Wen can try to inquire about his origin! Since the Heavenly Dao has given a revelation, he cannot be offended, at least not before he shows hostility towards us!”

“What about the forces he visited this time?” Human Ancestor frowned.

Among the fifty-four forces that were robbed this time, there were also Human Race forces.

“Let’s compensate them from the treasuries of our Five Great Divine Sects. Additionally, for this Tianyang Assembly, we will increase their number of seats. For us, these external possessions are no longer important!”

“Of course, if possible, I would like to meet him!” Demon Ancestor dismissed the matter in a few words.

It wasn't that he was benevolent, but at this critical juncture, he didn't want to cause more trouble. An existence that could shield itself from Heavenly Dao inquiries was definitely not ordinary, and perhaps had an extremely powerful force behind him.

To make an enemy of him for some resources was truly unwise!

“Good!”

The other Four Ancestors also did not object. For them, becoming an Emperor was the most urgent matter at hand.

At this moment, Heaven Ancestor smiled and said: “Fellow Daoists, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should speak?”

“Fellow Daoist, please speak!”

Demon Ancestor asked.

“As far as I know, the region where the World Gate is located is a place ruled by the Wuqian Empire. Why not ‘cooperate’ with the Wuqian Empire?” Heaven Ancestor said.

Since the World Gate appeared in Wuqian Territory, it couldn’t be changed. Since that was the case, it would be better to choose their place of residence in Wuqian Territory.

Of course, to put it nicely, it was cooperation; to put it bluntly, it was control. After all, compared to the forces behind Murong Zhi, the top-tier Wuqian Empire was easier to control.

They just needed an excuse, and then they would send some treasures to the various forces, and this matter would likely be resolved.

“I remember the people from Wuqian Empire are in the chaotic region, right?”

Demon Ancestor asked.

“Precisely!”

“Send someone to invite them over, and remember to genuinely invite them!” Demon Ancestor said seriously.

“Good!”

Heaven Ancestor already understood that Demon Ancestor had agreed with him.

Demon Ancestor then continued: “There are still ten days until the Tianyang Assembly. Since we are negotiating peace, let’s also invite those external forces to observe the ceremony! In the future, we may still have dealings with them!”

“Over these tens of millions of years, Tianyang Great God's situation has worsened, forcing him into slumber. Without him to maintain it, we would not be able to entrust our Primordial Spirits to the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps these people will have what we need.”

The atmosphere inside the main hall instantly solidified.

This was the core secret of the five!

All living beings who embark on Cultivation, what they desire is nothing more than longevity, but after how many years, who has achieved it?

And they had achieved it. If they were to lose this long lifespan, they would find it difficult to accept.

All of this was given by Tianyang Great God.

The Four Demon Ancestors were able to transform from Emperor corpses into spirits entirely due to the enlightenment of Tianyang Great God, and thus, they bore this debt of gratitude for his enlightenment.

Gods value Karma the most and also pay great attention to contracts. Although they were not like the Gods of the Ancient Heavenly Court, who did not receive conferment from the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

But in Tianyang World, they were Gods, Gods recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Receiving enlightenment from Tianyang Great God was the cause, and rescuing him was the effect. Moreover, it involved their long lifespan and a vast source of Power Of Faith.

“Very well!”

The Five Ancestors dispersed one after another.

Murong Zhi also received this news and was received by Human Ancestor. The two sides reached some unknown agreement, talking for half a day, after which Murong Zhi left satisfied.

“Interesting! A Saint Monarch wielding an Emperor weapon, not to mention having killed a Two-Step Quasi-Emperor. This person holds a great secret!”

A sharp glint appeared in Human Ancestor’s eyes!

Compared to the Four Demon Ancestors, his thoughts were not so simple.

Evidently, at this moment, he had developed a strong interest in Xu Qing. As for any Heavenly Dao revelation, he didn't care. The Heavenly Dao of Tianyang World, to put it plainly, was controlled by Tianyang Great God.

He did not want his fate to be controlled by others. He was Human Ancestor, the head of the Human Race in Tianyang World, how could he possibly be subservient to others?

It was just that this thought had always been hidden in his heart.

And in the direction of Tianmen Peak, the living beings of Tianyang World retreated rapidly like a tide.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Murong Zhi had succeeded. Not long after, he returned to Tianmen Peak!

When they heard that they could observe the Tianyang Assembly, a group of people couldn't help but rejoice!
