"All right, everyone. Since almost everyone has arrived, let us begin!"
Xuanyuan Wentian sat at the head of the long table. Seeing that nearly all members of the Eight Great Families and the Four Hidden Ancient Clans had arrived, he spoke in a deep voice.
The leaders of the eight thousand-year-old families and the four hidden ancient clans sat on either side of the long table, their expressions solemn.
Jiang Bei and Gold Coin also sat near the long table. Aside from them, there were other forces like them that had been brought in to form an alliance.
Xuanyuan Wentian sat upright in the main seat, his gaze sharp as lightning as it swept across the room. He said gravely, "Fellow Daoists, you have all gathered in Main God City today, and I'm sure you all know why! Right now, the Forbidden Ancient Clans are wreaking havoc across the Universe, slaughtering living beings, and gathering the Myriad Soul Bead in preparation to break open the Forbidden Land and release those true old monsters. This is a disaster for our entire Universe, and one that will be extremely difficult to withstand!"
"The Thunder Ancient Clan, the Nether Ancient Clan, and the others have long since colluded in secret, all cut from the same cloth! They occupy many strongholds, wantonly hunt souls, and their methods are incomparably cruel! Yet look at us. Though you are all thousand-year families and hidden ancient clans with profound foundations, you fight on your own. In the end, you are nothing but loose sand! Our strength is scattered, our information does not flow, and there have even been those picked off one by one by the Forbidden Ancient Clans!"
After those words fell, the expressions of nearly a hundred people inside the hall became incomparably grave.
