Chapter 2348: The Storm Has Settled Temporarily
In the quiet space, Princess Donghuang glanced around at the crowd. Were they threatening the Divine Prefecture?
However, the situation in the Original Realm had now changed. An ancient continent like the Shenyi Continent had actually appeared out of thin air. The cultivators of various worlds couldn’t sit there and do nothing. After all, before this, the Lost Clan of the Shenyi Continent had displayed terrifying combat ability.
On top of that, many other relics had appeared before this. How many secrets were waiting to be explored in the Original Realm now?
The changes of the worlds would begin with the Original Realm.
The various worlds would believe this prophecy to have come true, and they would keep sending their cultivators over to the Original Realm.
The various worlds had been at peace for countless years. Now, they would soon choose the Original Realm as the battlefield for their conflict. It seemed to be pushed by the general trend of events and would most likely be unchangeable.
“Then, we shall wait and see,” declared Princess Donghuang as she swept a glance over the crowd. If the various worlds wanted to lead their armies over here, then the Divine Prefecture would answer with their own.
This fight was inevitable.
Everything that happened today was originally targeted at the Lost Clan. However, no one imagined that it would escalate to such a situation. It appeared that the various worlds would invade the Original Realm and contest over it. Such a shocking development had been stirred up.
Ye Futian secretly sighed. From the looks of it, the Original Realm becoming a battlefield was already inevitable. He had no means of stopping such a development.
“If that is the case, farewell,” the cultivator of the Dark World said. Then, he left with the other cultivators.
The cultivators of the forces of the Empty Divine Realm, the Devil World, and the other worlds also left the region of the Lost Clan. When they left, their figures bore frightening auras. The fires of war had been lit.
The various forces left very quickly. Only the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace, the Heavenly Mandate Academy, as well as the Human Realm remained and had yet to leave.
The elder of the Lost Clan bowed slightly at Princess Donghuang and said, “Princess, many thanks for helping us get out of that predicament. The Lost Clan is grateful.”
Although the Lost Clan were prepared to face anything, if the battle were to truly break out, they would most likely face annihilation. After all, the other party was the allied forces of the various worlds. Even though their Lost Clan was powerful, it would still be difficult for them to stand against such a force.
“You have seen everything. The armies of the various worlds will be coming. The doors of the Original Realm will be completely opened. The Shenyi Continent has now come to the Original Realm. You are now part of it and under the jurisdiction of the Divine Prefecture. You will not be able to sit out of this. If there is a war, I hope that the Lost Clan will also lend their aid,” said Princess Donghuang as she glanced at the cultivators of the Lost Clan.
The Lost Clan had to play their part since they had chosen to submit to the authority of the Divine Prefecture. If the Divine Prefecture engaged in war with the other worlds, then the Lost Clan needed to obey the orders from the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace.
“Since our clan has agreed to your request, we will certainly keep our promise. We won’t sit idly and do nothing,” declared the elder of the Lost Clan. “Moreover, our clan has lost the freedom to stay away from this conflict.”
The various worlds had come here to attack the Lost Clan. Even if the Lost Clan intended to stay out of the conflict, would the cultivators from the various worlds possibly agree to that? They would most likely still attack the Lost Clan after they managed to defeat the army of the Divine Prefecture.
“Princess, we’ve enraged the various worlds this time around. If they join forces to attack the Divine Prefecture, we’ll most likely face a huge crisis,” a cultivator from the Ancient God Clan said while looking at Princess Donghuang.
The cultivators who left the place were people from the Dark World, the Empty Divine Realm, and the Devil World. Even during the previous war, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture had not faced such a situation. If the other three major worlds decided to declare war on the Divine Prefecture, the latter had no chance of winning.
Princess Donghuang looked at the speaker and said, “The other three major worlds each have their own agendas. They might not join forces. If they really do, I hope all of you can contribute to defeating them. Right now, the Original Realm has undergone many changes. All of you should return to the Divine Prefecture first and summon cultivators from your respective clans to come here. Otherwise, if anything were to happen in the Original Realm, you might have a difficult time handling the situation.
The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture were of different minds when they heard Princess Donghuang’s order. However, on the surface, everyone nodded in agreement. They said, “Since that’s the case, we’ll take our leave here.”
Princess Donghuang nodded. The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture gradually left the place. Quite a lot of cultivators gave the cultivators of the Lost Clan a cold glance before they left. They were somewhat unsatisfied with what happened today. However, they couldn’t do anything given the current situation. Therefore, they could only play by the ear from now on.
After the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture left, Princess Donghuang looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian was also staring at her. It was not their first time meeting each other. They met once back in the city of Qingzhou. They were both youths at that time. However, back then, one of them was exalted while the other was still a commoner. They weren’t even people of the same status.
Now, Ye Futian was almost at the same strata as this princess of the Divine Prefecture.
“Greetings, Princess. Many thanks for giving me the divine item as a present in the past,” said Ye Futian as he bowed slightly. Regardless of how their relationship would turn out in the future, it was undeniable that Princess Donghuang was the one who saved him when he was surrounded by various forces 20 years ago. The divine item that Princess Donghuang gifted him allowed him to go to the Divine Prefecture.
“Back then, you defeated the cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm. The item was a reward for you. You don’t have to thank me for it,” explained Princess Donghuang. “Now, you control the forces in the Original Realm. The Imperial Palace has also heard of your achievements. In the future, if war were to erupt in the Original Realm, I hope you’ll try your best to protect the place.”
“Understood,” Ye Futian responded. “It’s just that the current Original Realm is still weak. We don’t have any cultivators who have survived the second tribulation of the Great Path. If the cultivators from the various worlds were to attack us, I’m afraid that the forces in the Original Realm are no match for them. When that time comes, I hope the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace will send aid to hold the fort.”
Compared to most forces in the Divine Prefecture, the Original Realm represented by the Heavenly Mandate Academy was already a superpower. However, if the various worlds sent their top cultivators over, the Heavenly Mandate Academy that lacked existences who had survived the second tribulation would appear somewhat lackluster.
Princess Donghuang lowered her head and glanced at Ye Futian down below. Was he trying to set conditions with her?
“I will make my own arrangements,” answered Princess Donghuang indifferently. “There will be a storm in the Original Realm. I will return to the Imperial Palace.”
“Farewell, Princess,” said Ye Futian as he bowed slightly. Princess Donghuang turned to leave. The cultivators of the Human Realm said, “Princess, we will see you off.”
As they said this, their figures dashed up into the sky and left with Princess Donghuang’s entourage.
Only the cultivators of the Lost Clan and the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were left.
The elder of the Lost Clan glanced at Ye Futian and said, “Renhuang Ye, many thanks for your help today.”
“I haven’t done anything worthy of your thanks,” said Ye Futian as he shook his head.
“Renhuang Ye is benevolent. If you had attacked with the other cultivators before this, the Battle Matrix of the Rocks would have fallen,” the elder said. “Our Lost Clan has no means of repaying this favor. Renhuang Ye, please come in and be our guest.”
“That won’t be necessary,” said Ye Futian as he shook his head. “Soon, there will be a huge change in the Original Realm. I need to return to prepare. I fear that there will be a bloodbath in the future.”
The elder of the Lost Clan was stunned. He looked at Ye Futian and then nodded his head and said, “If that is the case, we will not delay you any longer. Renhuang Ye, you must come visit us when you have the chance.”
“Gladly,” replied Ye Futian as he saluted the cultivators of the Lost Clan with his fists. He then left with the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. They did not stay with the Lost Clan.
As they watched Ye Futian leaving, the cultivators of the Lost Clan gathered together. They stared at his silhouette as it disappeared from view and said, “It appears that this man is truly selfless.”
“With the abilities he displayed, he doesn’t need to covet the cultivation techniques of the Lost Clan. Prior to this, he has already inherited the abilities of several Great Emperors,” said the elder of the Lost Clan. He clearly had a certain level of understanding of Ye Futian!
