Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1884: Chapter 504: Emerging from Seclusion, Competing for the Crown! (Part 2)

The Yama Emperor’s lips curved into a smile.

Among the Ten Thousand Clans, some Emperors hold such thoughts, thus unwilling to waste time becoming enemies or participate in these wars, solely pursuing a higher extreme.

"While they attack the Three Domains, we should also take this opportunity to seek out the fragments of Reincarnation that were lost back then. If we can complete the Gate of Reincarnation, we can return once more!"

The Punishment Bone Emperor frowned, reminding everyone not to forget the essential matters.

The Poison Emperor glanced at him and said, "What if we return? There’s no longer any place for us there, unless we use the Gate of Reincarnation to include this world as well."

"Then, we need to deal with these vermin first, and the Ten Clans should unite to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao of this realm."

The Yama Emperor spoke softly, his eyes narrowing, shining with a dangerous and cold gleam.

"Indeed, it’s time to gather the fragments of Reincarnation. I haven’t smelled the scent of my homeland for many years."

The Emperor of the Evil Realm Clan revealed a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. Although an Emperor, having long shed worldly ties, the preferences engraved deep within the Divine Soul remain unchanged.

...

While various domains and clans were preparing intensely, the anticipated Ancient Demon assault was expected hundreds of years later, but in less than a decade, terrible news came from the border: there was an invasion by the Ancient Demon Army.

Northern Domain, Gusu Emperor Star.

Su Family, within the Light Emperor Hall.

Su Zhenyuan looked at other Clan Leaders from major families in the Northern Domain, rivaling their Su Family were the Lin Family, the Jiang Family, and more than a dozen other slightly less powerful clans.

"The borders have just faced a massive assault by an Ancient Demon, led by an Emperor, and the outermost defensive line has already been breached!"

A Qin Family Clan Leader spoke anxiously.

When he received the news, the elite soldiers stationed at the border belonging to the Qin Family had already perished, including many of his grandsons—all mighty figures among Immortal Kings.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was so tense it felt as though water could drip from it.

Faces of each clan showed gloominess, unpleasantness, along with tension and anxiety.

Led by an Emperor, the defense line that stood for tens of thousands of years was broken in a mere encounter.

There was also an Emperor guarding there, but the attacking Ancient Demon King clan dispatched two Emperors, and the guarding Emperor is still battling them, pushed into the Exotic Realm, life or death uncertain.

The Ancient Demons came fiercely, having recently heard news from the Eastern Domain, and now seeing the Ancient Demons’ stance, they all felt fear and tension, as if the cataclysm from a hundred thousand years ago reemerged, and this time even more swift and formidable.

"Everyone, do not be nervous. Our family ancestor has already gone to at least hold off this Emperor of the Pupil Curse Clan, and the rest of the battle depends on us."

In this oppressive silence, the Lin Family Patriarch spoke softly.

Though inwardly extremely anxious, he maintained a calm exterior, as their Lin Family, alongside the Su Family and Jiang Family, were deemed the Sea-Calming Divine Needle of the Northern Domain; if they panic too, others will only grow more fearful.

"Indeed, my Jiang Family’s ancestor has also awakened and gone forth."

Beside him, the Jiang Family’s Clan Leader said softly, clad in a battle dress, appearing valiant and spirited, with fiery red hair fluttering behind the helmet like bright red plumage.

"Clan Leader Su, is your family ancestor still fighting in the Eastern Domain? Now that the Northern Domain is in such a state, shouldn’t you quickly summon him back?"

A Clan Leader looked toward Su Zhenyuan, unable to resist asking.

Su Zhenyuan’s expression darkened. With the Northern Domain facing calamity, their Su Family ancestor initially supported the Eastern Domain and now can’t attend to his own, subjecting Su Family to some disputes.

"The ancestor is in battle, I have already sent a message to the ancestor, he will return once the battle is resolved."

Su Zhenyuan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Even though my Su Family ancestor is not in the Northern Domain, previously upon his departure, the Northern Domain was entrusted to the Lin Family ancestor and the Jiang Family ancestor. Furthermore, everyone! As long as it’s about slaying Ancient Demons and fighting for the True Realm Ten Thousand Races, where isn’t battle still a battle?!"

His final retort was imposing, surveying everyone.

At this moment, standing on righteousness, faced with his momentum, those who initially harbored discontent and slight grievances among the clans had no idea what to say.

After all, the Northern Domain was in difficulty, and now they were signaling for aid from other domains.

If helping the Eastern Domain was a bad thing for the Su Family, then why should other domains help the Northern Domain now?

"Indeed, my family ancestor indicated, the Ancient Demon Emperors are entrusted to them, no matter how many, it need not concern us, as long as we guard the Northern Domain and focus on our affairs!"

The Lin Family Patriarch spoke, not specifically to pave the way for Su Zhenyuan, as it was the ancestor’s personal instruction given to him beforehand, evidently foreseeing that Su Family’s Sovereign absence in the Northern Domain would bring challenges and criticism to the Su Family.

Hearing the Lin Family Patriarch’s words, others finally stopped staring at Su Zhenyuan. After all, it was the Lin Family ancestor’s personal words, and since that was said, their task was to guard the Northern Domain.

"Has the True King not been selected yet? I heard other domains are also suffering, if we don’t unite, we’ll be defeated one by one like a hundred thousand years ago!"

A clan leader asked impatiently.

The Ten Thousand Clans’ forces were ready to assemble at any moment, but they needed a True King Commander.

If a True King were to lead the Ten Thousand Clans forces to aid the Northern Domain now, their pressure would be greatly alleviated.

After all, relying only on their own clans in the Eastern Domain was not possible, as other domains were also facing danger and couldn’t dispatch forces over.

Moreover, in this dire and desperate situation, human malice was even clearer, some clans ranking outside the top hundred might choose to stay behind larger clans to protect themselves, but once the True King Commander is chosen, the military forces of Ten Thousand Clans would unite, leaving them no choice but to deploy forces. These are the rules set by various Emperors, bound by Heavenly Dao Laws, more reliable and effective than slogans.
