Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"My thought is, let each of the five clans contribute some resources to expedite the birth of a new Third Realm member for the Dead Ghost Clan," declared the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit sincerely, "My Moon Spirit Clan can provide our share at any time."

Hearing this, the other Third Realm ancestors twitched the corners of their mouths.

Of course, the Moon Spirit Clan could afford it.

After all, the Moon Spirit Clan had not been robbed by the Human Race, and their combat strength was almost entirely unscathed.

But the other four clans had been severely weakened previously, still not recovered, and had been extorted for a large amount of resources by that damned Luo.

At this critical juncture, they were supposed to contribute resources to support a new Third Realm emergence for the Dead Ghost Clan?

What a joke!

"The Dead Ghost Clan has also been operating in the Heavenly Dome Rank for eight thousand years," spoke the Half-demon Ancestor somberly, "If we exterminate them, our clans' strengths could increase by a lot, giving us a greater advantage against the Human Race."

The ancestors of the Crystal Clan, Dwarf Demon, and Dragon all nodded in agreement, then couldn't help but glance at the Half-demon Ancestor.

And you say you weren't the one who killed the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost!

"This..." The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit's expression carried a tinge of pity, "The clan war has not even formally started, and now the Dead Ghost Clan is to be wiped out?"

"We will inherit their will," said the Dragon Ancestor calmly.

"Let's do it this way," agreed the Dwarf Demon Ancestor with a nod.

The Ancestor of the Crystal Clan didn't speak, but his stance was equally clear.

Seeing this, the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit did not persist, but instead sighed deeply, a look of pity on his face for the Dead Ghost Clan's regrettable fate continually present.

Thus, the fate of a clan within the Heavenly Dome Rank was decided by the mere words of the five Third Realm ancestors.

After they had settled some details, the five clan ancestors each went their separate ways.

Returning to his own territory, the sorrowful expression on the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit's face disappeared instantly, and beside him, a vague figure emerged.

"Hide yourself well during this recent period," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit advised, "and don't make any more moves."

"Of course, I'm well aware of this," chuckled the vague figure, "The five ancestors have joined forces, vowing to dig three feet into the ground of the entire Third Rank. I'm so scared~"

"This time, they're determined to root you out," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit shook his head slightly, "hiding forever is impossible, be prepared to fake your death and escape."

"Alright," shrugged the vague figure, "You are the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit; what you say goes."

After speaking, the mysterious Third Realm figure quickly vanished, leaving no trace behind.

Once the figure had departed, the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit sat cross-legged, pondering for a moment before picking up a crystal ball that displayed nine colors.

That was his means of contacting the nine Main Priests of the Moon Spirit Clan.

The nine colors lit up one by one, and at the next instant, the crystal ball burst into bright light, projecting the images of the nine Main Priests before the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit.

"Ancestor!"

All nine Main Priests spoke in unison.

"You should already be aware of the death of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit looked at the nine priests and slowly began, "The Heavenly Dome Rank is about to descend into chaos."

"We, the Moon Spirit Clan, can no longer sit idly by."

"Whether we like it or not, we will inevitably be swept into it."

"Mahiya."

"Present!" the Purple Moon Priest stood erect, her expression turning serious.

"Lead the First Rank clan members to cooperate with the other clans in besieging the Human Race," continued the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit smoothly.

The Purple Moon Priest displayed a look of shock, "Ancestor, are we not to maintain friendly relations with the Human Race anymore?"

"Times have changed," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit's voice slightly paused, "But remember, use only the forces that are publicly known."

"Understood!" the Purple Moon Priest nodded in acknowledgment.

Having arranged the affairs of the First Rank, the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit turned to the other eight Main Priests, "Next, the other clans might send a large number of Second Realm members to the First Rank to target the Human Race, using a rotating system of descent that prevents the human leaders from providing timely support."

The Orange Moon Priest showed a look of understanding, "Ancestor, I get it; we'll join in as well..."

"No!" the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit spoke in a deep voice, "Do not descend."

"You must absolutely not descend to the First Rank to target the Human Race!"

"This…" The Orange Moon Priest revealed a bewildered expression, and the other Main Priests also wore faces of confusion.

If they were to deal with the Human Race without descending, what sense did that make?

"Let me explain," the Blue Moon Chief Priest spoke softly, "Among us nine, Mahiya and I have had the most contact with the leader of the Human Race, and I should be the most clear about the capabilities he possesses."

The Blue Moon Chief Priest paused for a moment, his eyes reflecting a more solemn look.

"Considering Luo's performance in the instance phase and after ascending, I am fairly certain he can lock onto the location of a specific target."

"This should be his Player Talent."

The Blue Moon Chief Priest looked towards the other Main Priests whose expressions were gradually changing, and said word by word, "This means that as soon as we descend, our true beings who are situated in the Second Realm will be found by Luo at the earliest opportunity."

The Orange Moon Priest who had previously suggested descending turned pale.

"Luo's capabilities must not be revealed to the other Clans," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit addressed the Main Priests, speaking slowly, "What I am about to say next is what you must throw yourselves into doing."

Hearing this, all the Main Priests became serious.

The matter previously mentioned about the Human Race was already important enough, yet now the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit indicated that what was to come was of even greater significance.

Although they did not yet know what it was, they were all ears in full attention.

"The Ancestor of the Dead Ghost is dead," the voice of the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit paused slightly, "After consulting with the ancestors of the other Clans, we have decided to exterminate the Dead Ghost Clan before the Clan War commences."

"The true identity of the Gatekeeper of the Dead Ghost Clan has always been secretly controlled by us; they are the Second Rank Soul Burying Envoy·Pains."

"Kill him, and open the gate to the Dead Ghost Clan."

The gaze of the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit turned to the Main Priests present, "The First Rank members of our Clan need not worry about the Dead Ghost Clan, but in the Second Rank, make the Dead Ghost Clan our primary target."

"We cannot allow the Dead Ghost Clan any chance to ascend to the Third Rank."

"Yes!" the Main Priests responded in unison.

"That will be all," the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit waved his hand.

The projections of the nine great Main Priests dimmed one by one until only one remained.

Exchanging a glance with the remaining Main Priest, the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit's mouth twitched with a strange smile.

-----------------

Unaware of what was currently happening in the Third Realm, at the very moment the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost fell, Qin Chuan received a message from Feng Yin.

"How did the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost die?" Feng Yin asked directly.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged glances and briefly recounted what had happened after they entered the Second Rank.

After a moment of silence, Feng Yin spoke slowly, "It must have been the mysterious individual from the Third Realm who made the move."

"The ancestors of the various Clans are all in the open; they would not easily do such a thing, for it could very likely lead to them being besieged. Only the one hiding in the shadows could act without restraint."

"In this case…"

"Besides the Moon Spirit Clan, the other Clans are in a recovery phase. Now that the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost has fallen, it's unlikely that they would help the Dead Ghost Clan."

"The Dead Ghost Clan will probably have to completely withdraw from the Clan War."

"The other Clans will likely try to take a bite out of the Dead Ghost Clan as well, and right now the Dead Ghost Clan probably harbors the deepest hatred toward the Human Race, since on the surface, you caused the fall of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost."

"Right," Qin Chuan responded with a carefree smile, "If that's the case, we don't need to be courteous. We can just make our move against the Dead Ghost Clan."

"I'll make the arrangements," Feng Yin paused, then mentioned another matter.

"There seems to be some unusual movement within the First Rank of the Moon Spirit Clan."

"If things go as expected, the Moon Spirit Clan will also join forces with the other Clans against us soon."

"The Moon Spirit Clan, huh…" Qin Chuan let out a soft sigh internally.

"Let them come then," he said.
