My Xuanyu human race cannot possibly have such an existence.

A long, long time passed.

Only then did Zhong Qing come to terms with his depression, calming down and preparing to emerge from seclusion.

As Zhong Qing emerged from seclusion, the Domain Lord's Inauguration Ceremony arrived as scheduled!

Countless gazes converged on the Domain Lords Mansion!

At this moment, within the Domain Lords Mansion, on a plaza where a towering pillar stood.

It seemed bustling with people, with over a thousand seated, ranging from Supreme Realm powerhouses to Saint Realm masters, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

However, in reality, most of these were the leaders of the forces under Tianxuan Sect.

Other forces included only the Eight Sages of the Southern Wilderness, and some insignificant figures.

Seeing this scene, some people were surprised.

Someone murmured, "I didn't expect the Eight Sages of the Southern Wilderness to attend this ceremony."

But soon, he sneered, "However, even so, if this inauguration ceremony only has these people, it can be considered a failure among failures."

The inauguration ceremony.

It was considered the day the Domain Lord officially declared his authority to the world.

Now, only Tianxuan Sect and its subordinate forces, as well as the Eight Sages of the Southern Wilderness, participated.

This meant that his authority was not recognized by other forces at all.

This was undoubtedly a result they were pleased to see.

They did not need the Domain Lord to issue commands to them.

Some even more extreme individuals stated: A Domain Lord who would only lead humanity into the abyss is better off not existing.

...

Futu Hall!

Above the flying boat.

Old Ancestor of Floating Tudor Hall Gu Yan sat alone in the pavilion.

After a long time, Ancestor Gu Yan looked up at the sky and sighed faintly.

"Xuan Domain, when will someone emerge to lead us back to the prosperous era of humanity?"

As for the Domain Lord...

He shook his head.

And just as he was sighing.

Above the sky, a streak of light flashed across.

The light was as swift as wind and lightning, rushing by, finally transforming into a middle-aged man.

This person was Gu Changqing, the current Sect Master of Futu Hall.

"Old Ancestor, I have important news to report!"

Gu Changqing's face was anxious, and his body trembled slightly as he spoke, showing how significant this news truly was.

Seeing this, Ancestor Gu Yan's brows furrowed slightly.

Then he earnestly instructed, "Changqing, Old Ancestor has taught you before that as a Sect Master, you must possess the demeanor of a Sect Master."

"At your position, you need to cultivate the composure of remaining calm even when mountains collapse before you, and unfazed when the sky falls and the earth sinks."

"No matter what happens, as a Sect Master, you should act with composure."

"No, Old Ancestor, this matter is far more astonishing than the sky falling and the earth sinking!"

Gu Changqing said with an anxious expression.

This made Ancestor Gu Yan's brows furrow slightly; anything that could make Gu Changqing act like this could only be related to the demon race.

His expression changed slightly, saying, "Could it be that the demon race has attacked?"

Gu Changqing shook his head, forcefully suppressing the immense shock in his heart, and said with a solemn expression, "Old Ancestor, it's not that the demon race has attacked."

"Rather, the demon races of the three continents have unified!"

"What?"

This news made Ancestor Gu Yan, who had just been teaching Gu Changqing to remain calm in the face of events, instantly constrict his pupils, and he leaped up in an instant.

In one stride, he arrived directly in front of Gu Changqing, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes as wide as an ox's, staring intently at Gu Changqing, his expression so ferocious it was somewhat frightening.

He looked like a madman!

After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "What you said, is it true?"

Gu Changqing swallowed, instinctively replying, "Absolutely true!"

Looking at Gu Changqing's demeanor, Ancestor Gu Yan knew that this matter was likely nine times out of ten true.

At this moment, Ancestor Gu Yan's spirit seemed to have suffered an immense blow.

He weakly let go of Gu Changqing's hands, and he himself stumbled, almost losing his footing and nearly falling to the ground.

His face revealed an expression of extreme disbelief.

"Why is this so?"

"Why would this happen?"

"If the demon race of one continent is already difficult for our human race to deal with, if the demon races of these three continents unify, how can our human race have a place to stand?"

"Why did this perfectly good situation change so suddenly!"

"Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy our human race?"

In the end, his hollow eyes were almost entirely filled with despair.

All over his body, there was a feeling of sorrow so deep he wanted to cry but couldn't.

But he was a Great Saint powerhouse after all.

Knowing that the matter had already happened, being sentimental now was useless; it would be better to think about how to deal with it next.

He forcefully suppressed the many chaotic emotions in his heart and quickly said, "When did this happen?"

Gu Changqing was clearly frightened by his Old Ancestor's frantic appearance.

He blurted out almost without thinking, "Three... more than three months ago!"

"More than three months ago, such a shocking event happened to the demon race, why is it only being reported now?"

"According to the information relayed by the scouts, they were in the Myriad Demons Valley of the South Continent at the time. The Myriad Demons Valley was filled with great demons, and they were afraid the news wouldn't get back, so they didn't dare to make any big moves and could only rush back cautiously."

"That's why the news was delivered a bit late."

After saying this, Gu Changqing composed himself, then, after taking a deep breath, he changed his tone and said, "Old Ancestor, perhaps things are not as bad as we imagined!"

However, as soon as these words came out!

They immediately drew Ancestor Gu Yan's Rage.

"It's come to this, and you're still saying things aren't that bad!"

"If the unified demon race attacks our human race!"

"At that time, will it be me, or will it be you who leads people to repel them?"

At this moment, Ancestor Gu Yan's heart was in utter turmoil.

The unification of the three continents' demon races, this was something that had never happened in history.

Just thinking about the scene of the demon army pressing down, a sense of suffocation couldn't help but arise from the depths of his heart.

Perhaps, he should change his mind and go attend the Domain Lord's Inauguration Ceremony now.

Gu Changqing quickly said, "Old Ancestor, I didn't mean that."

"The reason your grandson said that things are not as bad as imagined is because this time, the one who unified the demon race is a human!"

As soon as this news came out, Ancestor Gu Yan's eyes widened in stunned disbelief.

"Human?"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Our Xuan Domain human race cannot have such an existence."
