Since this was the Ancestor God Alliance and the Ancestor God Treaty, and since Long Chen wasn't an Ancestor God, what qualifications did he have to speak here and participate in the formulation of their rules? What kind of status did Long Chen have here? Did he transcend the boundaries of the Ancestor God Treaty?
When the Tempest Ancestor God said this, the Icesnow Ancestor God and the others quickly found an opportunity.
"That's right. We are all Ancestor Gods. Who do you think you are to speak here?"
"Moreover, from your attitude, it seems like your status is above us. How can a junior like you have the right and confidence to speak here?"
"More importantly, he imprisoned five Ancestor Gods. This is clearly a threat. He doesn't respect us at all. This person definitely has ulterior motives."
Of course, these were the words of the seven Ancestor Gods. The eleven Ancestor Gods were on Long Chen's side, at least for the time being. Sacred Ancestor Ancientwood spoke up for Long Chen. "Before we appeared, he protected our world. Of course he has the right to stand on equal footing with us. We are new here and don't know much about the myriad worlds. Without him, it would be difficult to establish a workable order."
"Although he's a junior, his strength isn't weak. Otherwise, how could five Elder Gods have been imprisoned by him? As for those five Elder Gods, I've heard of what they've done. Indeed, Elder Gods who are able to destroy worlds … why can't they be imprisoned?"
"Moreover, as Long Chen said, we can't let them join the Ancestor God Alliance for the time being."
At this time, both sides expressed their opinions.
At this moment, the Storm Ancestor God continued to target Long Chen, "You guys said that he isn't weak, but does that mean he isn't? If he wants to stand on equal footing with us, wants to join the alliance of us Ancestor Gods, and wants to point fingers before our eyes, ignoring everything else, he should at least have the capability of an Ancestor God. If not, he should leave this place and let us discuss our own matters. We are the true creators of the myriad of worlds, and he is just a descendant."
With him taking the lead, the other Elder Gods naturally followed suit.
"If he doesn't leave, we will definitely not form an alliance, nor will we abide by the Ancestor God Treaty."
"What's the point of having a descendant take charge of the situation? In any case, we're not convinced."
At the end of the day, they were still doubting Long Chen's qualifications. Of course, they were also using Long Chen to destroy this alliance. Most importantly, it should be considered as fighting for more rights for themselves.
They were more worried. Even if there were many Elder Gods, Long Chen would still become the core of the future 10,000 Worlds. They were worried that the Elder Gods would treat him as the center, and if that happened, the entire 10,000 Worlds would be ruled by Long Chen. At that time, they would have less and less freedom.
Long Chen was neither servile nor overbearing. He said, "At the end of the day, everyone is still doubting my strength. What you're trying to say is that if I had battle prowess on the same level as all of you, I would be qualified to stand here and establish the Ancestor God Alliance with all of you. I, Long Chen, will accept the challenge."
He was simple, straightforward, and crude.
"Long Chen …"
Li Xuanji was slightly worried. Last time, she had defeated the Violet Thunder Elder God because the two of them had teamed up. They had a great advantage, and their teamwork was quite good. But now, Long Chen had to face him alone.
"Don't worry. Come into my body later."
Long Chen and Li Xuanji had a miraculous connection. No one could replicate it. She was an independent entity, but she was also a part of Long Chen.
Although Long Chen didn't have much of a chance of victory in such a battle, he knew very well that if he wanted to have the right to speak in a situation like this, if he wanted the other Elder Gods to trust him, the most important thing was … his own power.
If he didn't have the ability, then as they said, he would be a junior. He wouldn't have the right to participate in the discussions and decisions between the Ancestor Gods, nor would he be the leader.
Strength was the right to speak here.
Even though it was difficult, Long Chen understood the importance of having the right to speak.
When Long Chen said those words, the other Elder Gods, who were leaning against each other, exchanged glances. Finally, their gazes landed on the Tempest Elder God. After all, it was the Tempest Elder God who had targeted Long Chen first.
"Then let me test the qualifications of a junior like you."
The Tempest Elder God didn't decline, and he immediately replied.
"Long Chen, is this how you want to do this?"
Elder God Ling Su was rather angry. To her, these Elder Gods were nothing but trouble. Now that the Myriad Worlds had finally calmed down, trouble had once again fallen onto Long Chen's shoulders. She knew that fighting an Elder God by himself wasn't going to be easy.
"No problem."
Seeing how confident Long Chen was, the Elder Gods who stood on his side still made way for Long Chen, even though they were somewhat worried. Mo Xiaolang and the others were pushed to the side as well. In truth, they were the ones who had the most confidence in Long Chen. Thus, at a time like this, they understood why Long Chen had stepped forward.
If he didn't have the right to speak against the Elder Gods, how could he truly protect the Myriad Worlds?
"Thank you for giving me the chance to fight for the right to speak."
By now, Long Chen was facing off against the Tempest Elder God.
On the other side, the seven Elder Gods had left the Tempest Elder God and retreated to the other side.
"It's all up to you."
"We can't afford to lose our freedom."
"If we let a bunch of incompetent people control our actions, it would really be a depressing matter."
They had placed all their hopes on the Storm Elder God. In fact, if they eliminated Long Chen from the competition, it would be considered as a show of strength to the other Elder Gods. Moreover, they would also be able to fight for more freedom in the upcoming Elder God Treaty.
"Don't worry."
The Tempest Elder God was brimming with confidence. Of course, his tone was still very calm. Under the gazes of over ten Elder Gods, within the Devil Dragon Tomb, only Long Chen and the Tempest Elder God were clashing.
Li Xuanji had stealthily entered his body, becoming a part of him. At this point, not many people had discovered it. After all, everyone was focused on this battle.
"If you lose, I hope that you will abide by our future agreement."
Long Chen stared into his eyes.
The Tempest Elder God said, "What a joke. You keep saying things that are impossible. Of course, we'll do as you say, but I'll still say the same thing. It's impossible. I have a very deep understanding of our powers. According to what I know, the difference between gods and Elder Gods is as great as the difference between mortals and gods."
"However, you're not at the peak of the ninth era's Ancestral Ancestor realm. You're still a little lacking. As for me, I'm not completely a god. There's not much of a difference between us."
Long Chen said very calmly.
"But, what about this?"
At this moment, a jade-green palm-leaf fan appeared in the Tempest Elder God's hand. It was only the size of a palm, and the leaves on it looked rather fresh. This was originally a very insignificant and ordinary item in the myriad of worlds, but because it appeared in the Tempest Elder God's hand, it became extraordinary.
"The Origin of the World."
He didn't expect that he would actually find his own Origin of the World.
Of course, the matter of the Origin of the World couldn't be kept a secret. Patriarch Penglai and the others had already found it, and if the other Ancestral Gods continued to search for it, they would find it as well. However, it was still rather troublesome that someone had found it today. This indirectly increased the difficulty of the battle. To any Ancestral God, whether or not they had the Origin of the World made a huge difference.
The Tempest Elder God with the Origin of the World was much weaker than the Purple Thunder Elder God without the Origin of the World. It was quite difficult to deal with him. At this moment, Long Chen didn't have a high chance of winning, and he was only filled with passion.
"Everyone, let's look for this thing on you. I'm guessing that every Ancestral God has one. It's our most precious weapon. I think the three who arrived earlier all have it, but they didn't want to tell us."
Even at this time, the Tempest Elder God didn't forget to sow discord between Ancestor God Ling Su and the other Ancestral Gods. Of course, the other Ancestral Gods didn't pay much attention to him. They were more concerned about what kind of Origin of the World they could find on themselves.
For a time, all the Ancestral Gods were searching for the Origin of the World. After this incident, Sacred Ancestor Gu Mu and the others didn't trust Long Chen and the others. After all, they knew about the Origin of the World, but they didn't say anything.
"Everyone, this is the Origin of the World. The reason why we didn't say anything is because if we did, they would definitely know about it. Our original plan was to tell everyone after the Treaty of Ancestral Gods was made," Ancestor God Ling Su explained.
This was actually a reasonable explanation. In order to avoid chaos, this was a very normal and safer choice. After all, the other Ancestral Gods were like ticking time bombs.
Just as they were all searching for the Origin of the World, the Tempest Elder God's hands trembled, and the tiny palm-leaf fan enlarged before his eyes. Finally, he grasped it with both hands, and his long green hair made him look exceptionally dreamy. At this time, he exhaled at the palm-leaf fan, and a white mist appeared on it. Vaguely, the tempest had already begun to sweep through the Origin of the World.
"Are you afraid?"
The Tempest Elder God revealed a strange smile. He was even harder to deal with than he had imagined. Of course, Long Chen wasn't afraid at all. While the Tempest Elder God was building up his strength, he had already made his preparations for battle.
"Scram."
In an instant …
The Tempest Ancestor God fanned his palm-leaf fan with both hands. All of a sudden, an invisible gust of wind blew towards Long Chen. It was as though nothing had happened at all, and even the raindrops continued to fall.
"Soulsoftener Wind."
A Law, a gentle breeze, and a fragrance wafted towards him.
… …
