In the blink of an eye, the entire Ancestral Gods Alliance had arrived.
The Ancestor Gods of the Ninth and Eighth Eras were all high and mighty.
The Ancestor Gods of the Ninth and Eighth Eras were very envious of those existences. Unfortunately, the levels of their worlds were fixed, and the Ancestor Gods could not become stronger.
Now that they were at the bottom of the hierarchy, they would always be at the bottom.
When the Ancestral Gods Alliance arrived, Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha could not wait any longer. He repeated what he had said about the threat of the Sky-devouring Clan. On the one hand, there was a blood feud, and on the other hand, there was a terrible threat posed by the Sky-devouring Clan in the future.
"Everyone, don't forget how the Ten Thousand Worlds were defeated by the Sky-devouring Clan in the last era. It was Long Chen who told Long Chen all this. The Ancestral Dragon and we neglected the growth of the Sky-devouring Clan and allowed it to grow stronger. Only when it had the strength to fight against us did we realize that if we let it live today, the next doomsday of the Ten Thousand Worlds will not be far away."
Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha had his reasons, and they were completely reasonable. Yes, that was the truth. It was the Sky-devouring Clan that caused the terrible disaster of the Ten Thousand Worlds. They were enemies.
Now, Mo Xiaolang was under the protection of the Primordial War Ancestor, but he still could not escape the fate of death. This was their only chance. For him, Long Chen had to fight to protect Mo Xiaolang. At this moment, there was no fear in his heart at all. Even if he was facing the eyes of the Fourth Era's Ancestor Gods, he would still stand up.
Their brotherly love burned like a fire in their hearts.
Long Chen's heart was burning, and his eyes were fierce. Everything that had happened in the past was still vivid in his mind. Perhaps he should let the Ancestor Gods know the story of Mo Xiaolang. Emotional and rational, he would let them struggle. Anyway, today, Long Chen swore to protect this brother of his even with his life.
"I've heard Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha's side of the story. Maybe you should listen to me. Maybe it will make you reconsider your judgment."
Now, Long Chen couldn't rely on his own power to suppress all the Ancestor Gods. If that was the case, it would be simple and straightforward. Today, his only way was to reason with them. If he didn't, Mo Xiaolang would definitely die. The Ancestor Gods were eyeing them covetously, and this was no joke. Over at the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, everyone was very nervous because of everything here. Soyeon was so scared that her face turned pale. She needed Lingxi and Li Xuanji to calm her down.
Long Chen knew that all her hopes and desires were on him. Long Chen treated her like a younger sister, so he couldn't let her down now. If she and Mo Xiaolang were separated by life and death, it would be a terrible cruelty for Long Chen.
No one stopped Long Chen from speaking. The Ancestor Gods were quite patient. Long Chen said in a clear voice, "Once, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was a broken world, even worse than a dream-level world. There wasn't even a god on it, and I was at the weakest level in all the realms. At that time, I met Mo Xiaolang. At that time, he was just like me, a human through and through. Compared to me, his heart was like a newborn baby."
"We were companions, grew up together, and overcame countless dangers. One time, he was on the verge of death, but by a freak combination of factors, his soul controlled the body of a 'Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf'. To all of you, the 'Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf' is also a weak small world, an extremely weak existence. That's right, he's from the Sky Devouring Clan. You might not know this, but in reality, the Sky Devouring Clan is everywhere, but … the number of them who can grow to the Ancestor God realm is definitely one in a billion. The Sky Devouring Clan was originally a member of the realms, but there was once an unprecedented growth that destroyed the realms, but that doesn't mean that all of them are the same."
At this point, Long Chen was full of confidence. He quickly explained his insights and their experiences, from the Devil Star in the Eternal God Domain to the Dragon Tomb, and the many dangers they faced. Mo Xiaolang had helped them a lot, especially during the last doomsday battle.
"During the doomsday, everyone knew that if he hadn't destroyed the doomsday, all of us, and the realms, would have perished. Whether he was a hero or a threat, everyone knows. I want to tell everyone that being from the Sky Devouring Clan doesn't mean that he's evil. He's just a type of existence, and the truly evil ones are those who forget to be grateful. Moreover, he's always been the soul of the human race, and he's always been fighting for the human race."
"Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to feel their conscience and speak. What has Mo Xiaolang done wrong to all of you? It's true that the Sky Devouring Clan destroyed the realms, but what has that got to do with him? He's just my brother, and also everyone's savior, and the benefactor of the realms. As for the threat, that's even more laughable. Even the Creator God was once controlled by the Sky Devouring Clan, and they threatened each other. What right do we have to talk about him? He's my life and death brother, and I know him very well along the way. I can confirm with all of you that if he really did harm the realms, or even did something that would destroy them, I would kill him myself."
In Long Chen's words, Mo Xiaolang was indeed a pure and innocent child who had followed him all the way. Long Chen's dream was also Mo Xiaolang's dream. Moreover, Mo Xiaolang was originally a human, but due to a freak combination of factors, he had grown step by step from the weakest to the present.
"There's only evil in the heart, not in the race. Even among a hundred ordinary people, there might be one villain. Then why is there no one from the Sky Devouring Clan who is our partner? May I ask, if you can just kill Mo Xiaolang, who has saved the realms and all of us here? Do you dare to ask your conscience if it's okay for you to kill him?"
Long Chen just spoke out his thoughts and the anger in his heart. It seemed that the hatred and future threat that Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha mentioned did not exist in his words. Perhaps some of the Creator Gods could still imagine the brotherly love between Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang.
After all, they had gone through such a long journey together.
From Long Chen's point of view, today's trial of Mo Xiaolang was indeed cruel and merciless. Previously, the Creator Gods did not know the truth, which frightened Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha. But now, perhaps they could think about it seriously.
Now that Long Chen had finished speaking, the Creator Gods also quieted down. In fact, these words could only win the support of those Creator Gods who already approved of Long Chen. As for those with evil intentions, they would not be willing to let Mo Xiaolang go just because of a few words from Long Chen.
At this time, the Creator Gods said, "I believe what Long Chen said is true, and I also approve of Mo Xiaolang's contribution to the realms. But as the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have a different heart. Of course, our blood feud may have nothing to do with him, but the Sky Devouring Clan is the Sky Devouring Clan. To us, he is a huge potential threat. We can't let this threat continue to grow, or we will end up like the Dragon Ancestor in the past, allowing the Sky Devouring Clan to grow stronger and destroy the realms. We can't make the same mistake again."
These words also resonated with many Creator Gods.
Long Chen suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a sneer, "Then to you, I am also a huge potential threat. Are you going to kill me? It hasn't been long since the Doomsday War, and you're already in such a hurry to be an ungrateful person?"
The Ancestor Gods wanted to establish a strict hierarchy. As an Ancestor God of the Fourth Era, he had to be superior, but Long Chen was the destroyer of this hierarchy. He was only an Ancestor God of the Eighth Era, but he dared to talk back at this time. Even the Chaos Cave Ancestor could not do anything to him. After all, he was protected by many Ancestor Gods.
Long Chen faced the crowd and said, "I've answered this question clearly. Mo Xiaolang has never betrayed us, and he will never betray us in the future. I can guarantee with my life that if such a thing really happens, I, Long Chen, will deal with it myself first. Judging good and evil based on someone else's identity is really reckless. Besides, in my eyes, he is a human and also my brother."
Most Ancestor Gods would not forget Mo Xiaolang's great contribution in the Doomsday War. Today, Long Chen verbally challenged the Ancestor God of the Fourth Era. He was brave and fearless, and even spoke arrogantly. But the Ancestor Gods who really knew him knew that he was trying to protect his brother.
Mo Xiaolang also knew …
All their hopes rested on Long Chen.
"Don't let Long Chen go on. Let's vote quickly," the Chaos Cave Ancestor said to Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha secretly.
Shaman Ancestor of the Chaos Cave said to Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha secretly because he had also seen the wavering expressions of the other Ancestral Gods.
The Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral Gods Alliance still had the ability to think for themselves. They knew very well what was going on today.
Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha said, "Everyone, the Sky-devouring Clan is in great danger. Whether we should kill them today or not depends on today. If we don't kill them, they will bring us endless trouble in the future. I suggest that we kill Mo Xiaolang immediately to prevent future troubles. Please vote on whether to kill him or not."
The rule of the Ancestral Gods Alliance was that the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era would have ten votes, the Ancestral Gods of the Fifth Era would have one vote, and the rest would just watch.
Under the leadership of Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha, the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era would vote first. The will of each of them was very important. Among them, the Primordial War Ancestor naturally opposed the killing, while the Ancestral Gods of the Chaos Cave, the Ancestral Mortal Emperor, and Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha naturally supported the killing. As for the other Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era, Long Chen remembered them all.
Long Chen looked coldly at the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era who supported the killing.
"I, Long Chen, will remember today's enmity. In the future, when I surpass all of you, I will definitely make you pay the price."
Long Chen couldn't help but be angry. He had even said this, which meant that he had shed all pretense of cordiality. As everyone knew, Long Chen was likely to have the chance to become the Ancestral Dragon of the Third Era. At that moment, several Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era might not be his match. He had the chance to become the top expert in the myriad worlds. When he said this, it was actually a deterrent to the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era.
If no one supported Long Chen, he could kill him now. But the problem was that there were several Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era who supported Long Chen. In this vote, they were on Long Chen's side for the first time.
Long Chen knew that it was probably because he had defeated Sacred Ancestor Wu Shan in an instant. The huge improvement had made the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era think about it.
