After listening to Elder Chan's explanation, the Blood Ancestor sighed. "No wonder you allowed the skies to change. No wonder so many Half-Progenitors appeared. It seems like we have to thank that brat who shattered the upper three gates. Without him, we wouldn't have known that you had such a secret."
"It has nothing to do with him. Even if the Sixth Mainland invaded, they didn't actually enter the Neoverse."
The Blood Ancestor asked, "How many spots?"
Elder Chan and the others looked at each other and helplessly replied, "Ten."
The Blood Ancestor nodded. "Alright, the Sixth Mainland wants five."
Elder Chan immediately refused. "Of the ten, the Technocracy will have two, the Astral Beast Domain will have three, and the Human Domain will have five. If the Sixth Mainland wishes to join, they can only have two people at most."
"The Astral Beast Domain and the Technocracy have always been at war with the Human Domain. How can they get a spot?" The Mystery Ancestor was confused.
Elder Chan helplessly replied, "Aside from the differences between the races, another reason is the allocation of spots. These spots belong to the entire Fifth Mainland, not just the Human Domain. However, the Human Domain is the dominant force, so I hope that the Third Progenitor can understand. We can only take two spots at most."
The Martial Ancestor angrily shouted, "The three of us will protect the continent for you, but only two?
Do you know who you're talking to? "
Elder Chan raised his head. "This concerns the entire Fifth Mainland, and it's not something that the seven of us can decide. The Technocracy and the Astral Beast Domains also have Half-Progenitors. Third Progenitor, do you want us to kill each other?"
The Blood Ancestor was shocked. "Another Half-Progenitor?
It seems like this is the Fifth Mainland's greatest secret, and we only found out today. If we had waited any longer, we might not have even known that a Progenitor had appeared in the Fifth Mainland. Now, it seems like we have to thank those monsters. "
Elder Chan was helpless. They had always kept a low profile, and even though they knew where the Neohuman Alliance was, they had done their best not to touch them. They were afraid that the Neohuman Alliance would retaliate prematurely. Although the Hui Ancestor's plans were far-reaching, there were always accidents. They had been worried about this, which was why they hadn't gone all out against the Neohuman Alliance. But now, it seemed like an accident had occurred.
This was fate.
"You can discuss the allocation among yourselves. In any case, we want at least four spots. You can leave now. evacuate the Outerverse's people, and those who want to stay can do so as well... The Outerverse will be ruled by the Sixth Mainland's in the future, and we will treat."
Elder Chan and the others had returned, so there was no need to worry about the gap for the time being. However, the Third Elder's words still echoed in their ears.
With the addition of the Sixth Mainland, there was no way to split the numbers.
The seven of them discussed this matter for several days. Afterward, they contacted Bu Tian from the Astral Beast Domain's Celestial Beast Empire, as well as some people from the Technocracy. In the end, they came up with a solution. Since it was difficult to distribute, they would fight for it themselves.
Zen Elder walked into the gap alone and faced the Third Progenitor. "We've already discussed this, and it's impossible to allocate the number of participants. Currently, we know that there are more than twenty people on the watch list, and there's also the Sixth Mainland. We really don't have a choice, so …" He paused and looked at the Third Progenitor seriously. "We'll let them fight for themselves. We've decided to hold a tournament for them. The top ten will have the right to go to that place and fight for their own destiny."
The three patriarchs exchanged glances, and Mystery Ancestor was the first to agree. "Fine, let's have a fair competition. We'll pick the best. Remember what you said. If all ten are from the Sixth Mainland, you won't go back on your word."
"I won't go back on my word," Elder Chan said loudly.
The three Ancestors smiled as they thought of the Daosource Three Skies.
Old Zen chuckled as he thought about the Prime Clear, and the elite cultivators on the golden screen of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
They all had confidence in their own people, and that was the basis for holding a tournament.
Elder Chan announced his decision to the Hall of Honor. The date of the tournament had not been set, but there was no limit to the number of participants. Anyone could sign up. The nine directors of the Hall of Honor, along with all of the higher-ups, decided that this tournament would be a grand event to unify the Human Domain and boost everyone's morale.
When the time came, the entire universe would be shown to everyone, including the Sixth Mainland, so that everyone would know what the apex was like. It was called the Astral Supreme Tournament.
The universe was too scattered. The Human Domain, the Astral Beast Domain, the Technocracy, the Sixth Mainland, and the Outerverse, the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, the Neoverse, and so on were all bound to face the invasion of those monsters in the future. Only by uniting all of their powers could they resist. This was only the first step, and not the last.
They had to get everyone used to working together.
The Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain had once held a tournament of the strongest, but that tournament was nothing more than child's play to many. This Astral Supreme Tournament was the true pinnacle of the younger generation. At the same time, it was also a life-and-death battle for the opportunity to reach the Progenitor realm.
Organizing a tournament that spanned across the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland would not be easy. At the very least, the network would have to cover the entire Astral Beast Domain.
The Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain were at war all year round. Even if Skymender and the Celestial Beast Empire agreed, it would not be easy to cover the entire network. It would take time, and it would also take time to relocate the various regions of the Outerverse.
Currently, the most unhappy people were one of the nine directors, the Unyielding Old Man and his grandson, Young Master Tian.
Dividing the Outerverse into the Sixth Mainland was a decision that Elder Chan and the others had made out of desperation, but they were the ones who had suffered the most.
"Grandfather, if the Outerverse is gone, then won't the Great Eastern Alliance be gone as well?
Then isn't the previous decision just a child's play? "Young Master Tian complained to the Unyielding Old Man on the screen.
The Unyielding Old Man replied, "What's the rush? There are so many people in the Sixth Mainland, and even if they want to relocate to the Outerverse, it will take some time. It'll take at least a hundred years, and the Hall of Honor needs to relocate the westernmost region of the Outerverse to the Innerverse. It'll take a long time, but that should be enough for you."
Young Master Tian heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll pack up and head to the Outerverse."
"Remember, you're going in my place. You can't throw away the Hall of Honor's prestige, but you can't be too oppressive either. Although Lu Yin has been captured by the Neohuman Alliance, his influence still remains. He also has the support of Master Yuan and Everlasting Island. Leon's Armada isn't a force to be trifled with, so don't confront them head-on. There are many people in the Great Eastern Alliance who have joined, but they aren't truly loyal.
"Got it, Grandfather," Young Master Tian nonchalantly replied.
The Unyielding Old Man frowned. "Remember one thing. You don't need to achieve anything during this trip, just make sure that you don't make any mistakes. That place is just your first step into the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor, and you can't make any mistakes. You can't waste my many years of effort. This was originally meant for your father, but it's a pity that he left early. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance's establishment, which gave you a way out, then even a thousand years of effort wouldn't have been enough for you.
Young Master Tian nodded and resolutely said, "Don't worry, Grandfather."
The Unyielding Old Man was still worried, but he couldn't leave the Neoverse for the time being. He could only send someone to follow Young Master Tian. The Outerverse was a desolate place, so there shouldn't be anyone who would dare to make things difficult for his grandson.
…
Progenitor Chen's tomb was completely dark. Just as its name suggested, it was a large tomb that was sealed within the heavens.
It covered a large area, as it was a Progenitor that was buried here.
The guardian giant appeared and scattered everyone. Hui Santong used his golden Meteor battle technique to fly into the distance. He had originally wanted to keep an eye on Xia Jiuyou, but he couldn't find anyone. The tearful girl continued to keep an eye on Hui Santong. The Hall of Honor was completely unfamiliar with Progenitor Chen's tomb, so she could only keep an eye on one person. Hui Santong was the best target.
Hui Santong was speechless. He glanced back and saw that the tearful girl was still following him.
This girl was planning on following him to death!
"I said the second method. Can't you explore it yourself?" Hui Santong couldn't help but ask.
The tearful girl didn't reply, and she just followed him.
Above them was a dark dome, while below them was a black mountain range with spikes protruding from it. It was a rather horrifying sight, and there was also a black river that gave off a strange sound of boiling water.
Hui Santong asked a few more times before he finally couldn't take it anymore and attacked the tearful girl. In the end, he couldn't beat her, and the tearful girl didn't attack him too harshly. Hui Santong felt a strong sense of frustration.
Hui Santong felt the same way, and so did Xie Xiaoxian. She was being watched by Shu Jing.
"Hey, I don't feel safe being stared at like this. You can go stare at someone else," Xie Xiaoxian said unhappily.
Shu Jing frowned. "Sorry, if you don't attack, I won't attack you either."
Xie Xiaoxian was furious, and she simply stopped moving. A bone appeared in her palm that transformed into a spike that pierced through the ground and started digging. Shu Jing was stunned. "What are you doing?"
Xie Xiaoxian smiled slyly. "Don't you like to follow me?
Then follow me. It's the same no matter where I go. I'm not going anywhere. "
Shu Jing was stunned.
Compared to the Hall of Honor, the Neohuman Alliance was much more familiar with Progenitor Chen's tomb. From what he could tell, they were not inferior to the Seven Courts.
Silver confidently walked in a certain direction, speaking as he did so, "Captain, there are many good things in Progenitor Chen's tomb. There are three things that are the most attractive: Progenitor Chen's secret technique, the root of wisdom, and the Progenitor's comprehension. We're heading to the place where the Progenitor's comprehension is …" He paused and didn't continue.
On the surface, Lu Yin appeared to be as unconscious as a ghoul, but he simply followed Silver.
Silver turned back to stare at him. "Did the transformation succeed?
Captain, you're becoming more and more unfathomable. "
At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. It was Ku Lei.
Silver looked up. "Is the Ku family's current successor stupid or arrogant?
Doesn't he know that there are guardian giants here? "
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a bugle horn echoed from the distance. The sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout Progenitor Chen's tomb.
The horn came from another direction, where there was a tribe of guardian giants. One of the giants blew the horn, causing all of the giants in Progenitor Chen's tomb to roar and charge out of the tribe to look up at the sky.
Ku Lei transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged into the distance. A club smashed towards him, but he managed to dodge it by the skin of his teeth. He looked to his left, where a giant was charging towards him. The giant raised a hand and slapped down.
Ku Lei's gaze turned cold, and he tapped out with a finger.
