Heavenly Mandate Race

"Nineteenth Uncle, the Nine Phoenix Imperial City has been completely captured, and the Nine Phoenix Emperor has been killed by our combined forces. However, the people below are wreaking havoc and looting wantonly. Should we stop them?" Yang Xuanwu said in a low voice to Yang Tianyou.

"Don't worry about it. We agreed that the swords wouldn't be sealed for three days. Let them be. Just send people to protect the Spirit Veins and high-level Spirit Trees." Yang Tianyou said nonchalantly. Compared to the entire Nine Phoenix Realm, the resources within the Nine Phoenix Imperial City were completely insignificant.

"How's the integration of the Qiongqi Realm going?" Yang Tianyou turned around and asked.

"The vast majority of high-ranking officials have agreed to merge into the Lu Wu Realm, but there are still a small number of stubborn elements who refuse to comply. However, these people have also guaranteed that they will not interfere with us," Yang Xuanwu reported to Yang Tianyou in detail.

"Well, if that's the case, then we don't need to worry about it. Just prepare the sacrificial ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuanwu nodded slightly and said no more.

Three days later, in front of the Nine Phoenix Imperial City, which had been ravaged by countless cultivators, a magnificent octagonal altar that stretched straight to the sky was gradually erected. Precious materials, coveted by countless Low-Rank Cultivators, were used to adorn the altar as if they were free.

At the same time, in the Purple Moon Mountain of the Lu Wu Realm and in Divine Sun Martial Dao Heavenly Stele of the Qiongqi Realm, magnificent altars for worshipping the heavens were erected. At this moment, all the cultivators understood the true intention of the Yang Household: to worship the heavens and establish Heavenly Mandate Race.

Many forces were quite dissatisfied with this. However, faced with the Yang Household's overwhelming power, they had no choice but to submit.

Of course, many other forces were quite pragmatic and had already begun to move around to seek their own interests. During this process, the Yang Household's high-ranking members became highly sought after, receiving a constant stream of visits every day.

And so, three months later, under the watchful eyes of the masses, Yang Tianyou of the Lu Wu Realm ascended the Altar of Heaven and, witnessed by Heaven and Earth, began an unprecedented sacrificial ceremony.

"Heaven above, Earth below, Yang Tianyou of the Purple Moon Yang Clan, offers this prayer to the heavens. Since Yang Household Old Ancestor Yang Canglang established the Yang family, over eight hundred years have passed. Blessed by Heaven and Earth, we have overcome countless obstacles, grown and prospered, defended against powerful enemies, and cultivated benevolent governance. We have driven away the Nine-Phoenix and subdued the Qiongqi. Now, our merits are complete, and we humbly request Heaven to bestow its Heaven's Mandate. Our Yang Household is willing to accept this mandate, glorify our Lu Wu Realm, and ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds!"

After reading the sacrificial text, Yang Tianyou knelt respectfully, and the other cultivators below the altar also bowed down.

Buzz!!

With a soft hum, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses bloomed from the ground, and a wisp of thin purple qi rose from the east, spreading across the entire sky in an instant.

"The purple qi rises from the east for thirty thousand miles, it is the Heaven's Mandate!!" The Old Man Zhui Dao and Heavenly Origin Zi looked at the boundless purple qi surging in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

Who could have imagined that a Lineage that has existed for only a little over eight hundred years would rise to prominence and, in a mere four hundred years, sweep across the world and establish its dominance?

"Allow!!"

The vast and merciless voice of the Heavenly Dao swept across the sky and the earth, followed by a cloud of Azure Clouds descending from the sky and merging with the bronze cauldron used for the sacrificial ceremony.

Yang Tianyou opened his Fortune Eye and saw that the Yang Household's Fortune was like Heavenly Dragon, soaring ninety thousand miles high and dominating the world in the vast expanse.

From this day forward, in the Lu Wu Realm, the Yang Household Disciples will enjoy smooth sailing and be favored by Heaven and Earth.

More importantly, Yang Tianyou sensed the presence of the power of heaven and earth, as if he could reach those supreme and noble Fruit Positions with a single gesture.

Moreover, this is by no means an illusion.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Tianyou bowed again.

"I beseech the Will of Heaven and Earth to devour this realm!!"

This time, the purple qi in the sky suddenly dissipated, replaced by a desolate and chilling atmosphere.

"Allow!!"

At this moment, even the originally indifferent and ruthless Will of Heaven and Earth seemed to become generous and passionate. The sublimation of life level is the pursuit of every Cultivator. Similarly, heaven and earth themselves are also spreading and expanding towards the boundless space and time.

This, too, is instinct.

"Roar!"

An exceptionally domineering tiger roar shook the heavens and the earth. Under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators, a Lu Wu Divine Beast with a tiger's head and nine tails appeared in the vast expanse.

Afterwards, the Will of Heaven and Earth and Nine Phoenix Realm and the Will of Heaven and Earth of the Qiongqi Realm were also revealed.

It's still a one-on-two battle, but unlike before, it's now the Nine Phoenix Realm uniting with the Qiongqi Realm's Will of Heaven and Earth to fight against the Lu Wu Realm.

Since the Yang Household's army has already conquered the Nine Phoenix Realm, the Will of Heaven and Earth in the Nine Phoenix Realm has fallen into an abnormally weak state.

Although no war broke out in the Qiongqi Realm, all forces had given up resistance, so the Will of Heaven and Earth in the Qiongqi Realm was also extremely weak.

And so, under the excited and proud gazes of the cultivators of the Lu Wu Realm, the Lu Wu Divine Beast fought against two opponents single-handedly. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the other two great Will of Heaven and Earth were torn to shreds and fell into oblivion.

"Roar!!"

The Lu Wu Divine Beast, its body surging with Sha Qi, roared, causing the entire Lu Wu Realm to tremble. Countless Chains of heaven and earth formed by the power of rules spread out from the Lu Wu Realm, tightly binding the entire Nine Phoenix Realm and Qiongqi Realm, beginning a long process of devouring them.

The contest between the Plane Will has ended, and the victors are able to enjoy the legacy left by the losers.

However, the legacy of the losers was too vast. Even if the Lu Wu Realm were to devour it with all its might, it would still take at least a thousand years to fully digest these two realms. After all, the Nine Phoenix Realm itself was too large and a tough nut to crack.

If the Nine Phoenix Realm were to devour the other two realms, it wouldn't have taken this long.

Once digestion is complete, if the interface level meets the requirements, it will Ascension to heaven along with the entire realm under the guidance of the radiance of the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms.

The Will of Heaven and Earth gradually disappeared, but the world of the Lu Wu Realm continued to expand.

The sky grew higher and higher, the earth grew thicker and thicker, and Spirit Veins were born from nothing. Many more Spirit Veins took advantage of the great opportunity of plane advancement to advance in rank.

Meanwhile, on the cultivators' side, strands of Heavenly Dao merit descended from the sky, subtly transforming the innate talents and Root Bone attributes of the beings in the Lu Wu Realm.

The majority of these positions were naturally held by the high-ranking members of various powerful forces. Cultivators whose cultivation had stagnated, such as Yang Yusheng and Wuhuang, began to experience a rapid increase in their cultivation levels with the help of abundant Heavenly Dao merits.

"No, I need to go into seclusion to break through my current limitations."

"Let's go together, I can't hold back any longer either."

Amidst the envious gazes of the remaining forces of the Qiongqi Realm and the Nine Phoenix Realm, the cultivators of the Lu Wu Realm embarked on a grand secluded cultivation journey.

As the defeated party, they were naturally not entitled to enjoy the merits of Heavenly Dao. However, Daoist Taiyi and the others felt fortunate, after all, they had survived. Moreover, thanks to the protection of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness of the Lu Wu Realm, they were not subjected to the counterattack of the will of Heaven and Will of Heaven and Earth of the Nine Phoenix Realm and the Qiongqi Realm before their deaths.

Of course, the Will of Heaven and Earth in the Lu Wu Realm itself would not do this on its own initiative; it was mainly because Yang Tianyou mentioned it casually during the sacrificial ceremony to heaven and earth.

Today, Yang Tianyou, as the de facto leader of the Yang Household Heavenly Mandate Race, and also the greatest contributor to the Interface War, still carries considerable weight in the eyes of the Will of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, the remaining forces in both realms are now deeply grateful to Yang Tianyou and have sworn to obey his every command.
