In the depths of the cave, a dark-green figure emerged from a certain place in a somewhat sorry state. It was the Celestial Seal King, Yin Cangqiong. At this moment, the small boat beneath his feet was no longer there, and the three foreign race Monarchs that faced him were nowhere to be seen.
"Seal King, you're injured!"
In an instant, a soft voice rang out beside Yin Cangqiong and an old figure appeared. The old man wore a white robe and had a kind expression, but the aura around him was as deep as the ocean. Clearly, this old man was also a Human King.
"It's fine. The Blood Sea Monarch and Shadowless Demon Monarch are foreign race experts that have been famous for many years. It's already a great fortune that I was able to stop them. I know my limits!" Yin Cangqiong was extremely calm about his injuries.
"The Heavenly River that was about to reach the heart of the Human Race has been shattered. However, it has turned into dozens of smaller Heavenly Rivers that have directly entered the dozens of Human Race Regions in the Eastern Wasteland. Furthermore, there are spatial paths that are about to form in the branches of the Heavenly River."
The old man stopped worrying about Yin Cangqiong's injuries and began to tell him what had happened after the Milky Way had shattered. Although they had shattered the Milky Way, it had not been completely destroyed as the powerhouses of the Human Race had imagined.
"The greatest danger has already been resolved. If the various regions of the Human Race can't even deal with this, how can we defend against the invasion of the Hundred Races!" Yin Cangqiong did not have much of a reaction.
"That's right. The greatest danger has already been resolved. The remaining small branches of the Heavenly River are nothing to worry about. Even if the spatial paths within them are completely linked up, it's still incomparable to the Hundred Race Battlefield!"
The old man murmured. This time, the Human Race had spent so much effort to destroy the Hundred Race River that was about to reach the Human World. It was all because of the lessons learned from the mistakes of the past.
It was rumored that the Hundred Clan Battlefield did not exist before the primordial era. The Hundred Clan Battlefield was formed because of the formation of a Heavenly River of Void, which connected the entire human world. The Heavenly River of Void that gave rise to the Hundred Clan Battlefield was an eternal river. Ever since it was formed, it had never disappeared.
This river, which was hundreds of miles wide, appeared here, running through the Eastern Wasteland. Although it was still a far cry from the one that formed the Hundred Race Battlefield, the space inside it was more than enough to allow more alien races to enter the Eastern Wasteland. If that happened, the human world would be attacked from both sides.
"Let's go. Even if these shattered branches of the Heavenly River are linked up, they can only accommodate the battle strength of a Half Step King at most. Even if a great war breaks out, it won't be able to harm the foundation of the Eastern Wasteland Human World!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Cangqiong's figure instantly disappeared into the depths of the Dongxu World.
However, the old King did not leave. He looked at the dazzling Heavenly River in the depths of the Dongxu World, which shone with a silver divine brilliance. Then, he looked at the dozens of small branches of the Heavenly River that extended to the Human World. He murmured with a slightly worried expression, "I'm afraid that the human territories of the Eastern Wasteland Human Race will become fertile fields and bones, and millions of lonely souls!"
After a while, the old man's figure disappeared from the Dongxu World. Only a long sigh was left behind, echoing in the depths of the Dongxu World.
Five days later.
In the great hall of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Among the millions of land that the Gu Yuan Tribe patrolled, there were seven middle-ranked combat divisions, one high-ranked combat division's patriarch, and the leader of the Fire Beacon Territory, which was comparable to a middle-ranked combat division's gathering place.
In the sky, the Heavenly River that suddenly appeared tore apart the sky of the Desolate Border Region. At the same time, it also crushed the sky in the hearts of many human martial artists. The entire Desolate Border Region fell into a dazzling atmosphere.
Outside the Gu Yuan Tribe's mountain city, other than the rangers who had already arrived, some human combat divisions in the Fallen Dragon Territory had already consciously gathered towards the Gu Yuan Tribe in an attempt to seek protection from the Gu Yuan Tribe.
In the distance, the Gu Yuan Tribe's void battleship had already begun to gather the scattered low-ranked combat divisions and scattered combat divisions towards the nearest middle-ranked combat division. The patriarchs of several large combat divisions had also rushed towards the Gu Yuan Tribe. The meeting was originally scheduled for 10 days later, but due to the shocking changes in the sky, it had been brought forward by a few days.
"Everyone, this time, a crisis has befallen our Desolate Border Region. I have been ordered by the Ancestral Court to search for the territory of the Human World and protect the bloodline of the Human Race. However, the current situation is dangerous, and the Gu Yuan Tribe is unable to take care of everything. Therefore, I have gathered all the patriarchs here to discuss the final defense."
After the patriarchs of the various tribes had taken their seats, Xiao Chen's gaze swept across everyone. He then spoke and went straight to the point.
"Before you came to the Gu Yuan Tribe, you have already seen the Gu Yuan Tribe's void battleship. It has already begun to transport the scattered tribesmen scattered in the Desolate Border Region to your tribes. Almost all of these tribes are vassal combat divisions under your rule. Now that the crisis is imminent, it is time for you to fulfill your obligations after enjoying so many years of offerings!"
"Patriarch Xiao, now that the Desolate Border has changed, Patriarch Xiao has been ordered by the Ancestral Court to defend the territory of the Human Race in the southwest of the Desolate Border Region. We all respect Patriarch Xiao. I wonder what Patriarch Xiao has in mind!"
As soon as Xiao Chen's voice fell, a patriarch of a tribe hurriedly spoke up. The encounters over the past few days had already shocked many of the patriarchs of the various tribes.
Putting aside the remnants of the foreign races hidden in the depths of the Desolate Border Region, which was nothing at all, the real crisis came from the depths of the void. The foreign races that appeared every time were at the Venerable Realm. If it were not for the Venerables of the Gu Yuan Tribe overseeing their respective tribes, they would not have had the chance to appear in this hall today, let alone inherit and reproduce their tribes!
"I wonder how Patriarch Xiao will arrange it. Even if the Gu Yuan Tribe's void battleship gathers the low-grade and scattered tribes under our respective combat divisions near our respective tribes, we will not be able to resist the attack of the foreign races with our strength alone."
"Could it be that the Venerables of the Gu Yuan Tribe are no longer overseeing the mountain cities of our tribes!"
Suddenly, a patriarch exclaimed, immediately causing the quarreling hall to quiet down.
"That's right, the Venerables of the Gu Yuan Tribe are no longer overseeing the various tribes!" Xiao Chen replied softly, but his words were no less than a clap of thunder exploding in the ears of these patriarchs!
What!
The Venerables of the Gu Yuan Tribe were no longer overseeing their tribes!
"Does Patriarch Xiao not care about the survival of our human combat divisions!?"
"Silence!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the hall. This was the shout of the Great Elder, Tie Shi. "If the Gu Yuan Tribe no longer wanted to protect your combat divisions, why would we have invited all the patriarchs here for a discussion?"
Immediately, the hall regained its calm, and everyone looked at Xiao Chen.
"Everyone, you should have seen the Heavenly River in the sky!"
Xiao Chen did not keep them in suspense and said softly. The patriarchs nodded. It was the Heavenly River that had torn the sky apart that made them feel so anxious, as if the sky was about to split open. Xiao Chen had been summoned by the Ancestral Court to lead the Gu Yuan Tribe and guard the desolate border for millions of miles.
Now, Xiao Chen and his Gu Yuan Tribe were the representatives of the Ancestral Court for millions of miles. At this moment, they could only think of Xiao Chen. If the Gu Yuan Tribe no longer protected them, the fate of the hundreds of thousands of warriors in their tribe could be imagined!
"Although I don't know what exactly has happened to the world outside the Hollow World that caused the Milky Way that originally only existed in the depths of the Hollow World to appear, I'm certain that with the appearance of the Milky Way, the void of our desolate border has become even more stable. Ordinary Venerables can no longer tear the void apart and enter the Hollow World easily!"
"It's already difficult for the Venerables to tear through the void. Doesn't this mean that the Venerables of the foreign races can no longer descend into our human world? Our clans are safe now. No wonder Clan Leader Xiao wants to summon back all the Venerables of the tribe!" someone cried out in surprise as soon as Xiao Chen's voice fell. His tone was filled with joy.
"Fool!"
However, in the next moment, Xiao Chen's gaze shifted to the Clan Head who spoke. Then, he shouted mercilessly.
In an instant, the temperature in the entire hall suddenly dropped. The patriarch who had spoken immediately felt as if he had entered a boundless cold wave. Xiao Chen's eyes seemed to have endless majesty, causing his entire body to tremble!
"The space is stable. I estimate that in another ten days or half a month, even alien Venerables in the Peak Venerable Realm won't be able to descend into our desolate border. The alien Venerables can't tear the void and descend, but it doesn't mean that alien Great Venerables can't descend into our human world. Even if only one alien Great Venerable happens to descend into the southwest of our desolate border, how confident are you that you can survive?"
Xiao Chen's voice was calm, but it emitted endless sharpness. Alien Great Venerables, experts of such a realm, could their hopes come true?
When they thought of this, the various clan leaders couldn't help but shiver inwardly. Supreme experts were already able to turn their clans upside down and make their clans' heirs go extinct, let alone a great supreme expert from a different clan.
Xiao Chen's words made the patriarchs fall into silence again. As a patriarch, they had the power to control the life and death of their respective tribes, but when faced with a true expert, they could not withstand a single blow. Other than sighing, they could only wait for the judgment of others.
"In the face of alien Great Venerables, only I can resist them within a million miles. However, I need to stay in the Gu Yuan Tribe, so I have decided to move all the tribes to my Gu Yuan Tribe and live next to it to deal with the alien Great Venerables outside the Dongxu Realm!"
Xiao Chen revealed the plan in his heart. The patriarchs did not respond, nor did they object. Instead, they all fell into deep thought. The hall was quiet.
Xiao Chen's eyes were like torches, as if he could see through the hearts of all the patriarchs in the hall. The crisis of life and death was imminent, but these patriarchs had all kinds of concerns. They were afraid that if they moved near the Gu Yuan Tribe, their entire tribe would be completely shrouded in the Gu Yuan Tribe's prestige and lose control!
