Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Southern Heaven Star.

Long Zhan retorted sharply, refusing to back down against Wuliang Mountain Ancestor.

But Wuliang Mountain Ancestor watched helplessly as Hong Yu was blasted to death by Lu Yuan, and even with his deep scheming nature, he was furious beyond measure.

The death of Hong Yu was a minor issue, yet the delay of his plan was a major one!

He spared no resources, even depleting his True Blood to baptize Hong Yu's Flesh Body.

Wasn't it all to have Hong Yu rise to the top of the Celestial Pride List's top hundred, and thus obtain the Ancient True Dragon Bloodline?

But who would have expected Lu Yuan, this dark horse, to disrupt everything halfway, not only bringing disgrace to Wuliang Mountain's dignity but also disturbing his plan forcibly!

The more Wuliang Mountain Ancestor thought about it, the angrier he got, wishing he could crush Lu Yuan, this ant, with a single slap.

Yet Long Zhan stood firm, refusing to yield an inch.

As the battle of Venerables was on the verge of breaking out.

An elderly man in a Daoist robe emerged from the void, manifesting before the crowd.

The elder had a youthful complexion with white hair, his Daoist robe adorned with patterns of flowers, insects, grass, trees, mountains, rivers, sun, and moon.

A pair of old, profound eyes shone with the light of wisdom, seeming to have witnessed the vicissitudes of life, possessing a transcendental air of simplicity!

"Celestial Secret Elder, who would have thought this brat warrants your personal intervention?"

Wuliang Mountain Ancestor's pupils contracted, his face overcast as he spoke.

The Daoist-robed elder before him was the founding master of Celestial Secret Pavilion and had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, knowing many ancient secrets.

With a Cultivation unfathomable, even he dared not to become an enemy rashly!

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Qian, according to our previous agreement, the battle of the top hundred Celestial Proud Sons is not just to choose a son-in-law for the Dragon Race."

"It's also meant to select those eligible to enter the Supreme Divine Hall, no one shall interfere."

"Furthermore, the Alien Race is knocking at the door, the Starfield Battlefield is in a state of emergency, and it urgently needs a Venerable Strong Person to guard the World Gate, any further war is not permissible."

"Why don't you both take a step back for this old man's sake, how about it?"

Celestial Secret Elder spoke unhurriedly.

Since ancient times.

Celestial Secret Pavilion has been aloof from worldly affairs, not participating in overt or covert struggles between major forces, maintaining neutrality all along.

But if Wuliang Mountain were allowed to break the rules, then this battle of top hundred Celestial Proud Sons would become a complete joke.

"Supreme Divine Hall?"

Upon hearing these four words, Wuliang Mountain Ancestor's expression continually shifted.

This concerns the path of becoming a Venerable and Enlightenment Dao for all the Celestial Proud Sons in the Profound Realm.

If he acted willfully and incurred widespread anger, even Wuliang Mountain could not bear that responsibility!

"Long Zhan, today's enmity, I will repay tenfold another day!"

Wuliang Mountain Ancestor snorted coldly, angrily flicking his sleeves and leaving.

Long Zhan nonchalantly curled his lips, not taking Wuliang Mountain Ancestor's threat seriously at all.

Since the day Zhou Qian coveted the Dragon Bloodline and secretly instigated and supported the Dragon Race branch's rebellion.

An irresolvable deadly feud had already been formed between the Dragon Race and Wuliang Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Long Zhan, the World Gate is in imminent danger, you need to head to the Starfield Battlefield as soon as possible,"

Celestial Secret Elder sighed.

"World Gate?"

"Do you still have the face to bring up this matter?"

Long Zhan sneered.

"I fought hard at the front lines, guarded the World Gate for five hundred years, and ended up with my home destroyed and people gone."

"Is this the promise you gave me? Is this the explanation you offered me?"

Long Zhan grew more agitated as he spoke, nearly bursting into outright cursing on the spot.

The Profound Realm has Nine Great Sacred Lands, countless races, dozens of Venerable Strong Persons, why should it be him risking life and limb?

Previously, he was young and impetuous, coaxed to be used as a pawn by a group of people, only now realizing the reality.

What Profound Realm's survival?

What greater good?

Tension at the front, indulgence at the rear, is it?

In any case, let whoever please go, he's dropping his burden and doesn't care anymore.

Celestial Secret Elder also was distressed seeing this.

It's true the Profound Realm has dozens of Venerable Strong Persons.

But most have barely survived since the Ancient Times, nearly dying figures.

Unless they burn through their Vitality, achieving utmost sublimation, it's hard for them to unleash much combat power.

Yet Long Zhan attained Venerable status through Enlightenment Dao in this era, with both Power and lifespan at their pinnacle.

He alone can rival several Ancient Venerables.

Most importantly.

Those Ancient Venerables' lifespan has long been nearly exhausted, if forced to go to the battlefield.

Under the temptation of longevity.

They might defect to the Dark Creatures' side, turning against us!

"Fellow Daoist Long Zhan, what happened before was Wuliang Mountain's mistake, but the Starfield Battlefield is in imminent danger, it cannot be delayed even a moment."

"If the Dark Creatures break through the barrier, the entire starfield will be turned into scorched earth."

"You have guarded the World Gate for years, you understand the terror of those Dark Creatures more than I do!"

Celestial Secret Elder pleaded earnestly.

Long Zhan, however, remained unmoved, extending three fingers.

"My conditions are simple, first, reveal the mastermind and all participants in the Dragon Race's internal strife."

"Second, I want three slots for the Supreme Divine Hall."

"Third, I want massive resources, nine Dao Soldiers, and nine Immortal Divine Medicines!"

"If you can meet these conditions, I will agree to go to the World Gate."

Hearing these three conditions, Celestial Secret Elder was utterly stunned.

Dao Soldiers and Immortal Divine Medicines are a family's heritage, the fundamental reason many Sacred Lands have been able to pass down for hundreds of thousands of years.

How can such world-class treasures be given away so readily?

Moreover.

The Dragon Race's internal strife back then not only involved Wuliang Mountain but many other people as well.

If this is exposed, the entire Profound Realm may experience an unprecedented upheaval!

As for the Supreme Divine Hall, its origins are mysterious and can no longer be traced.

All they know is that it only opens when the Profound Realm reaches its darkest hour.

Since ancient times.

The Supreme Divine Hall has opened only twice.

It is said to contain countless divine medicines and Ultimate Skills, and even methods for Venerable transcendence!
