The clouds rolled in.
It is located atop a mountain.
Several figures stood amidst the drifting white mist, their auras extremely terrifying.
It seemed as if space itself had been Distortion.
Yu Qingnian stood atop the mountain peak, with a bottomless abyss behind him. His eyes were utterly indifferent as he quipped, "It's quite remarkable that all the major sequences have gathered today."
"I thought you were all dead."
No one spoke; instead, they remained silent, their gazes fixed on the man before them.
They were also surprised.
So many years have passed, and yet this one person alone has managed to summon all nine Supreme Beings of the major sequences.
At this moment, one of them stepped forward, but his voice seemed to be muffled, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
"Yu Qingnian, speak."
"Why have you summoned everyone?"
"You all traveled thousands of miles to get here, not just for a party."
Yu Qingnian chuckled, a flash of lightning appearing in his eyes, and said...
"Now the Four Passes are being impacted by the Eerie Tide."
I believe everyone has already received the news.
"Are you all here to watch a show today?"
One of them took a step forward, causing the blood energy to surge across the entire mountaintop, and laughed loudly.
"Ha ha"
"To watch a play, of course we should watch a play."
"Are we going to go and help Four Passes?"
"Should this corrupt world continue to develop?"
"How terrified Eerie Monsters were people before the pass was built? How are they now?"
"I have traveled thousands of miles across the land to come here, yet I see no inland people helping the Four Passes resist the evil forces. Why not let the passes be breached?"
"Let those Eerie Monsters in?"
Then another person stepped forward. It was a man, his appearance shrouded in a black shadow, and only his gloomy voice could be heard.
"The Sixth Sequence is correct."
"If the barrier remains unbroken, Human Race can no longer advance and will be forced to cower within its walls. This is not the outcome I want to see."
"Everyone, you should also understand that with Human Race in its current state, the Four Passes are practically nothing. The monsters outside the walls are constantly evolving and will one day break through everything and enter the Xia Kingdom. And the people of today no longer have the vigor and drive they once had."
Why not let the Eerie Monsters in?
"This is a test for Human Race. Although it involves the entire race, rather than slowly boiling the Eerie Race like frogs in water, we Human Race should take a step further and kill them outright."
Then another person stepped forward. This person was a woman, and her voice was very clear and melodious, echoing across the mountaintop as soon as she spoke.
"No, don't let the Eerie Monsters in."
"Human Race can't afford to gamble."
"This is undoubtedly accelerating the disintegration of the Human Race."
"Besides, these Four Passes are guarded by millions of people. Do you really want to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
"You..."
Just as she was about to speak...
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and golden lightning gathered in the air amidst the booming sound.
Yu Qingnian looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "There's no need to argue anymore."
"The fact that you all have come here today is a favor to me, Yu, but if you wish to continue arguing, I do not recommend starting a War of the Kings here."
Immediately, the man who had spoken first, his blood surging with anger, roared.
"Yu Qingnian, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"You became Supreme Being two years after me, do you think I have no temper?"
Yu Qingnian's body crackled with lightning, and the atmosphere around him instantly became tense.
Each person exuded their own oppressive aura, resisting the pressure.
Yu Qingnian looked at the man, his hands radiating golden lightning power, and said...
"How long has this Ranking Board of the former nine major sequences remained unchanged?"
"For about ten years?"
I do not wish for anyone to perish today.
"This world is already in ruins, and even you are willing to abandon Human Race to gamble on a future with only a faint hope. Isn't that tragic?"
The Sixth Sequence being radiated a dazzling red light, his thick blood energy surging. He looked at Yu Qingnian and said, "I became Sequence User not for the sake of Human Race, but for myself."
Who doesn't want to be invincible? Who doesn't want to stand atop the clouds?
"Tragedy is for ordinary people. We are the darlings of this world, why should we care about the lives of those people?"
"Only absolute power can break through everything in this world!!"
Some people remained silent, while others were deep in thought.
Once someone becomes Sequence User, isn't it all for their own benefit, especially in that era?
Eerie Monsters have invaded; without strength, you're doomed.
No one has ever counted how many people died back then, how many went to build those four passes, and how many returned.
They were all people who crawled out from mountains of corpses, and they were among the strongest people in the world.
Everyone has a different idea.
Yu Qingnian closed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "No, this world is not the world of the Sequence User, nor is it a world where we can act arbitrarily."
"If we do not stand up, Human Race will surely be destroyed."
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
"Whether ordinary people or those Sequence User, they are interdependent. If this Human Race perishes, are we capable of creating a second Human Race?"
Silence... Utter silence...
Their words sounded like a confrontation.
One side wants to protect the Human Race, while the other side wants to find a sliver of hope by breaking through the barriers.
Both are actually for the benefit of Human Race.
Both approaches are acceptable.
Because they all understand that Human Race needs a reform, and this reform can either be led by them or by the Eerie Monsters outside the walls Human Race a lesson.
The former lacks sufficient time, while the latter gambles everything for Human Race, making it not worthwhile.
The mountaintop should have been shrouded in white mist.
A storm was brewing, and thunder rumbled.
Just then, an aged voice came from afar, and an old man lying on a cane arrived at the scene.
Do you all think I am dead?
"You started causing trouble as soon as Elder Gu left. He didn't care about you, but I don't care about such things. If anyone makes me unhappy, I'll just kill them with my sword."
The Sixth Sequence's expression instantly turned pale, and he subconsciously touched his chest, "That old guy..."
"Sword Elder." Upon seeing this figure, Yu Qingnian instantly understood what was going on and gave a wry smile.
The Sword Elder glared, took a gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, and said, "Let's chat, what's gotten into you?"
"I just heard they were going to let the monsters in, why are they so quiet now?"
"Since you have nothing to say, I have something to say."
Sword Elder's eyes sharpened instantly, his aura becoming like a sharpened sword. He solemnly declared, "Everyone, please proceed to a designated pass to defend against the Eerie Tide."
My sword doesn't discriminate.
"I won't go and be executed."
Suddenly, the entire mountaintop fell into calm.
The Sixth Sequence snorted coldly, looked at Yu Qingnian, and said, "I didn't expect even the Supreme Being would resort to such petty tricks."
After saying that, he transformed into a streak of blood-red rainbow and disappeared.
No one wants to face a sword cultivator, especially a powerful one like Sword Elder, whose current cultivation level is unknown.
After all, he didn't take many shots.
Almost none.
They dared not disobey this advice; if they didn't go, the old madman might come with his sword and kill them by midnight.
In an instant~
The entire mountaintop was deserted.
Yu Qingnian looked at Sword Elder and said, "I would appreciate Sword Elder's assistance."
Sword Elder waved his hand and said, "Don't try anything funny with me. Everyone knows who sent me."
Yu Qingnian gave a wry smile and shook his head, asking, "Elder Gu, has he already gone?"
Sword Elder took a sip of wine, his gaze deep as he looked at Yu Qingnian, and said slowly.
"After today, you will be in charge of the world."
"Everything revolves around the stator; the overall situation is paramount."
