"The quota for the Seed of the Continent?"
When the Battle Emperor heard Yan Emperor's words, he knitted his brows and replied without any hesitation, "That's impossible. The Seed of the Continent is a precious resource, and Emperor Yan, you're well aware of it. Who knows, it might be the next Heavenly Sovereign. With the scale of my West Heaven Continent, even if it has been nurtured for a few hundred years, we can only give it to three Seed of the Continent!"
The Battle Emperor firmly refused, since the resources of the Seed of the Continent were too precious.
It contained the continent's energy, and only Heavenly Sovereigns could control it. Thus, the Seed of the Continent was a great temptation for the West Heaven Temple to join them.
According to the rules of the West Heaven Temple, only those that have joined the Battle Temple for over a decade could obtain the qualification to compete for the Seed of the Continent.
The temptation was something that even Perfected Earth Sovereigns would be tempted by.
That was why the Battle Emperor's reaction was so intense when he heard that the Flame Emperor wanted the West Heaven Continent's Seed of the Continent's quota.
After all, every Seed of the Continent had the potential to become a Heavenly Sovereign. At the very least, their chances of success would be higher than ordinary people.
"What's the Seed of the Continent?" Mu Chen asked Luo Li in puzzlement.
Luo Li naturally had some understanding about this, so he immediately explained it. When Mu Chen heard that, he was stunned.
He clearly didn't expect Flame Emperor to help him fight for such an opportunity.
"Yan Emperor, your Endless Fire Territory is vast and powerful. You even have more than one Heavenly Sovereign.
The Seed of the Continent that you can produce is much more than my West Heaven Continent. So why are you targeting me? "The Battle Emperor said.
Emperor Yan Yan smiled helplessly and said, "The Endless Fire Realm just fought for the Seed of the Continent a hundred years ago. The continent's power has been consumed too much. It will take another hundred years for it to gather again."
"Battle Emperor, you don't have to be in a hurry to reject me. All I want is a chance to compete for the Seed of the Continent. As for whether Mu Chen will emerge victorious, that's all.
That still depends on his own strength. If he fails, then that's naturally his problem. "
At this point, Yan Emperor laughed mockingly, "Does the Battle Emperor think that no one in your West Heaven Continent can suppress Mu Chen?"
The Battle Emperor sneered and cast a glance at Mu Chen. "A mere Lesser Earth Sovereign is nothing in my West Heaven Continent.
You can't even make a splash, let alone become the Seed of the Continent. "
"Then what else does the War Emperor have to worry about?" Yan Emperor said with a smile.
The Battle Emperor snorted.
"There's nothing absolute in this world. That brat does have some means. What if he really succeeds?
Then wouldn't I suffer a great loss? "
"Furthermore, the forces under my West Heaven Temple are all here for the Seed of the Continent. They've paid the price of loyalty and have done many things for my West Heaven Continent. So if Mu Chen wants to participate, it'll be impossible for us to do so.
If Mu Chen participates, how will I explain it to them?
"So you don't have to provoke me, Yan Emperor. I won't give him the qualification."
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he immediately whispered to Yan Emperor, "Mu Chen appreciates Senior Yan Emperor's kindness. Since the Battle Emperor isn't willing, then I can't force it."
Although the Seed of the Continent was extremely tempting, Mu Chen didn't want to see Yan Emperor lose his bearing for him.
Otherwise, the favor would be too great, and it wouldn't be easy to repay it.
The Flame Emperor faintly smiled. "The reason why I'm helping you obtain this opportunity isn't because of my personal feelings, but because I hope that another existence like us can appear in the Great Thousand World.
And you possess that kind of potential. "
"Although the Great Thousand World is peaceful right now, the Fiend Clans are still eyeing it.
However, the Fiend Clans have been eyeing the Great Thousand World with unimaginable strength. Even I feel fearful and uneasy. For the Great Thousand World to not be invaded and annexed, the Great Thousand World needs more powerful existences … "
"Among the continents with Heavenly Sovereigns, only the West Heaven Continent will be competing for the Seed of the Continent. So we can't miss it."
Mu Chen was stunned. Firstly, he never expected that Yan Emperor would think so highly of him and feel that he had the potential to ascend to the pinnacle. Secondly, he admired Yan Emperor's breadth of mind. After all, Yan Emperor was standing on the side of the Great Thousand World, which was the reason why Yan Emperor would help him.
Yan Emperor smiled and waved his hand before looking at the Battle Emperor. "Battle Emperor, the qualification that I'm seeking for Mu Chen isn't a Lesser Earth Sovereign, but a Greater Earth Sovereign."
When he spoke, even the Battle Emperor's face changed and he looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze before mocking, "Yan Emperor, you're really thinking too highly of that brat."
Generally speaking, there would be three battlefields for the Seed of the Continent, the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield, the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, and the Perfected Earth Sovereign Battlefield.
As the name implied, the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield belonged to those in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, while the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield belonged to the Greater Earth Sovereigns of the West Heaven Continent.
Every single battlefield had a quota for the Seed of the Continent, which corresponded to the three realms of the Earth Sovereign Realm. After all, if it was a chaotic battle, then the quota would definitely belong to those Perfected Earth Sovereigns. Those old monsters had lost their drive, so their chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm were lower than the other two. Thus, this was the reason for the Seed of the Continent's rules.
Mu Chen's cultivation was in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, so he should be able to enter the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield. But now, Yan Emperor said that he wanted a Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield for him, which was a joke in the Battle Emperor's eyes.
After all, although the means that Mu Chen had displayed were powerful and could be ranked amongst the Lesser Earth Sovereigns, he was still lacking to deal with a Greater Earth Sovereign.
Xue Lingzi and the other Greater Earth Sovereigns looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze. The meaning in their eyes was self-evident, they felt that Yan Emperor had overestimated Mu Chen.
"Hmph, isn't Yan Emperor not afraid of overestimating Mu Chen to his death? The moment that brat enters the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, I'm afraid that not even his bones will be left!"
Xue Lingzi sneered in his heart. But in the depths of his heart, he was willing to let Mu Chen enter the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield. That's because he would be participating in the Seed of the Continent's selection, and if he encountered Mu Chen, he could make a move to kill the latter. Anyhow, if he killed Mu Chen, then it would mean that Mu Chen was inferior and tried to show off. Thus, he could only blame himself for this outcome.
"I believe that the Battle Emperor will be more at ease by letting Mu Chen enter the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, right?
If Mu Chen still managed to obtain the Seed of the Continent's selection … I believe that he deserves it. "Yan Emperor lightly smiled.
The Battle Emperor's gaze flickered and the resistance in his heart had decreased by a lot. With the strength that Mu Chen had displayed, he might really be able to obtain the Seed of the Continent's selection if he entered the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield. But if he was thrown into the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, even the Battle Emperor didn't believe that Mu Chen could do much.
Which one of those Greater Earth Sovereigns wasn't cunning and powerful? Throwing a Lesser Earth Sovereign like Mu Chen in was akin to throwing a rabbit into a pack of wolves.
The Battle Emperor was happy to see this happen. After all, although Yan Emperor had mediated this matter, he still had resentment for Mu Chen. So if he couldn't vent it out, he wouldn't feel good in his heart.
But with Yan Emperor protecting Mu Chen, even the Battle Emperor couldn't do anything to him. But if Mu Chen entered the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, the Battle Emperor only needed to signal for Mu Chen to be in a pathetic state. Who knows, Mu Chen might even give up on the selection and escape.
Thinking of that scene, the Battle Emperor felt the resentment in his heart lighten up.
However, even though he had relaxed a little, the Battle Emperor was not one to be trifled with. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "Originally, I had to give face to the Flame Emperor. However, the Seed of the Continent slot is just too important …"
Yan Emperor faintly smiled and flicked his finger. A streak of light flew out from his sleeve and hovered before the Battle Emperor before it retracted into a pellet that was the size of a longan.
That pellet was as transparent as a crystal with a Pellet Aura lingering around it. It had actually formed into a dragon and phoenix fluttering around it, along with a fragrance that spread out. Just a whiff of it caused the Spiritual Energy in the bodies of countless experts to grow a little more robust.
"This is …" The Battle Emperor looked at the pellet before him and his heart trembled before he exclaimed, "Dragon-Phoenix Empyrean Pellet?"
This was a rare divine pellet that had a considerable effect even for Heavenly Sovereigns. Such a pellet had always been priceless in the market, and the moment it appeared, it would be plundered by the Heavenly Sovereigns.
Everyone looked at the pellet with their eyes turning red. In the Great Thousand World, everyone knew that Yan Emperor's strength wasn't the envy of others, but his unparalleled alchemy skills.
Anything produced by Yan Emperor was definitely of high quality!
The pellet refined by Yan Emperor was something that countless people yearned for. So when this pellet appeared before him, even the Battle Emperor's eyes lit up.
"With this pellet, I believe that the Battle Emperor won't refuse, right?" Yan Emperor chuckled.
The Battle Emperor smacked his lips and briefly pondered before taking the Dragon-Phoenix Empyrean Pellet. This pellet was truly tempting to him, but most importantly, Yan Emperor had already given in several times. If the Battle Emperor wanted a yard after taking an inch, then he would probably offend the latter. His relationship with Wu Zu wasn't good, to begin with, and if he became enemies with Yan Emperor and the Endless Fire Territory, then it would be a headache for him.
Thus, he stored the pellet and indifferently swept a glance at Mu Chen before nodding his head towards Yan Emperor.
"Looking at Yan Emperor's face, this Emperor will give this brat the qualification to enter the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield to fight for the Seed of the Continent. However, the battlefield is dangerous, and if this brat's strength isn't sufficient, then he can only blame himself …"
