Ye Chen's decision to postpone the matter of the Nine Gods Meeting was indeed a wise move, because in the following period of time, the details of the meeting continued to spread.
It was said that for this meeting, the Dark God had already set up a Nine Divine Mountain in the Dark Flower Continent. On the peak of the Nine Divine Mountain, there were nine thrones. As long as one could sit on the thrones, they would become one of the nine gods of the new generation.
In addition, there were many treasures arranged on the Nine Divine Mountain. These treasures were all in specific locations. If one wanted to obtain them, they would need sufficient strength.
At the same time, the Dark God had given the order to spread the news of the Nine Gods Meeting to the entire True Spirit World. As long as one was a lifeform of the True Spirit World, they could participate in the meeting and compete for the spots of the new nine gods.
In other words, the selection of the Nine Gods Meeting wasn't as simple as the new nine gods. All the geniuses of the True Spirit World could be nurtured by the Dark God as long as they had the talent.
When this news spread, the entire True Spirit World was in an uproar.
For the majority of the martial artists of the True Spirit World, the Dark God was a supreme existence. Therefore, in their eyes, the Dark God's actions were selfless, for the sake of nurturing the next generation.
However, for those who knew the Dark God's true face, the Dark God's actions left them scratching their heads. They couldn't understand the Dark God's intentions.
Under such circumstances, many rumors began to spread in the True Spirit World.
There were rumors that the Dark God planned to take the entire Dark God Clan and live in seclusion. Therefore, the Nine Gods Meeting was held to redivide the True Spirit World, to prevent it from falling into chaos.
There were also people who said that the Dark God wanted to refine all the geniuses of the True Spirit World into puppets, thus gaining complete control of the True Spirit World.
There were even rumors that the Dark God had discovered another small world, so he wanted to select the geniuses of the True Spirit World to bring them into the small world.
… …
"The news is getting messier and messier. We simply can't guess the Dark God's true intentions. Ye Chen, it seems that we shouldn't interfere too deeply in the Nine Gods Meeting."
Ye Chen and Aunt Ye Kuangmei were sitting together in the main hall of Ye Family in Divine Spring Ocean, discussing the current situation in a low voice.
Unlike the Dark God Clan Ceremony, the Nine Gods Conference was held by the Dark God himself. Therefore, in the entire True Spirit World, almost no one dared to be careless.
Even Ye Chen and the others felt the same way.
At present, although Ye Chen had Ye Kuang and Aunt Mei, two Profound God experts, by his side, and his own strength was almost comparable to an expert in the Third Sky of the Supreme Dao, such strength was still far from enough to contend with the Dark God.
Therefore, ever since they found out about the Nine Gods Meeting, Ye Chen and the other two had already discussed it several times. However, they were unable to come to a conclusion.
"The Dark God's actions are indeed strange."
Aunt Mei frowned and said, "According to Young Miss, the Dark God is extremely ambitious and has always wanted to break through to the Ancestor God Realm. As for other things, he doesn't care about them. Why would he suddenly hold this Nine Gods Conference?"
Aunt Mei had originally supported Ye Chen's participation in the Nine Gods Conference to fight for benefits for herself. But now, as more and more rumors spread, she began to hesitate.
Even Aunt Mei began to waver. Of course, Ye Chen had already made a decision in his heart.
"This Nine Gods Conference is very strange. It is indeed unsuitable for us to participate. We only need to pay attention to the situation in the Dark Flower Continent at all times."
Facing all changes with inaction, this was indeed the smartest choice at present.
Just as Ye Chen and the other two were sitting together and discussing this matter, in the sky above the Divine Spring Sea, a figure rapidly flew over.
Before this figure could come close, Ye Chen and the other two immediately sensed his appearance.
Sensing the figure, Ye Chen and the other two stood up together and walked out of the hall with furrowed brows. "Someone is trespassing on the Divine Spring Sea … Eh, it's actually this person."
Looking up at the distant sky, they continued to wait for a while before the figure in the distance arrived above the manor.
The figure suddenly stopped, revealing the person's true appearance. It was the Dark God expert that the Dark God Clan had sent to Myriad Souls Island to preside over the Dark God Clan Ceremony, Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming's strength wasn't too strong, but he represented the Dark God Clan.
Now that he was here, Ye Chen and the other two were a little suspicious in their hearts. They didn't know what the other party's intentions were.
"Patriarch Ye." Xiao Ming's figure stopped above the manor.
His gaze swept down and immediately saw Ye Chen and the other two in the manor. His eyes lit up and he said loudly, "The Dark God Ancestor is about to hold a Nine Gods Conference in the Dark Flower Continent. In order to show the seriousness, the Dark God Ancestor has specially ordered us to deliver an invitation to Patriarch Ye."
With a wave of his arm, an invitation with large golden characters flew out from Xiao Ming's hand and landed in front of Ye Chen and the other two.
"An invitation from the Dark God?"
Ye Chen extended his hand and received the invitation. Before he had the time to check it, Xiao Ming, who was above his head, had already said in a clear voice, "Patriarch Ye, please be punctual. I still have to rush to the three great God Clans to deliver the invitation, so I won't stay here any longer."
Xiao Ming turned around and flew into the distance.
With the strength of Ye Chen and the other two, if they wanted to make Xiao Ming stay, it would be very easy.
However, the three of them didn't do so because they knew that even if they made Xiao Ming stay, it would be useless. Instead, they would fall out with the Dark God for nothing.
"The Dark God actually sent an invitation at this time. What's the content of this invitation?" Ye Kuang and Aunt Mei moved to Ye Chen's side, their faces full of curiosity.
Ye Chen frowned and opened the invitation in his hand.
With just a glance, the faces of Ye Chen and the other two turned green.
This was because the names of Ye Chen, Ye Kuang, and Aunt Mei were clearly written on the invitation. Other than that, even the names of Liu Muyun and the others were all on the invitation.
All the people whose names were on the invitation were considered guests invited by the Dark God. They had to go to the Dark Flower Continent to participate in the Nine Gods Conference.
The intention of the Dark God Clan to send such an invitation at this time was self-evident.
"The Dark God actually sent such an invitation. This clearly shows that he guessed that we might not participate in the Nine Gods Conference, so he used this invitation to force us." Ye Kuang's face was green as he coldly snorted.
No one who received such an invitation would feel very happy.
Ye Chen stared at the invitation in his hand for a long time, then slowly said, "What I'm more curious about is that even Aunt Mei's name is on this invitation."
"You should know that Aunt Mei and Huang Yan have a special relationship, and Huang Yan and the Dark God have an extremely unique relationship. Previously, Aunt Mei only used a jade pendant to make the Divine Dao Law Enforcement Team members under the Dark God retreat. It's conceivable that the Dark God is still afraid of Huang Yan."
"Under such circumstances, the Dark God still marked Aunt Mei's name on the invitation. Could it be that the Dark God is really only inviting us to attend the conference and not secretly targeting us?"
