Order Descends
Just as the two races were about to go to war, a holy light descended from the sky.
All that could be seen was a humanoid creature clad in golden armor, with wings, and radiating a powerful aura, which descended at that moment.
"According to the Contract signed by the various races of the Netherworld, war should not be started lightly unless it is a matter of life and death. What do you want to do?" The figure shouted, causing the two races that were originally planning to attack to stop.
They knew very well that this figure was a rather unique existence.
They were the Guard Army left behind by the Nether Emperor before he disappeared.
After the death of the Nether Emperor, they seemed to merge with the Order, transforming into beings that maintained the rules of the Netherworld.
When the Nether Emperor unified the Netherworld, he also wiped out many races.
Later, in battles against Demon, many races in the Netherworld suffered heavy losses.
To prevent certain races from taking advantage of the situation, the Nether Emperor made all races sign Contract.
Unless it's a matter of life and death.
Otherwise, the two races would not easily engage in a bloody war.
After the Nether Emperor disappeared, the Guard Army he left behind have maintained this Contract in accordance with his requirements.
It was precisely because of this that all races were able to recuperate and gradually prosper.
Moreover, it is unknown what methods the Nether Emperor used to connect his Guard Army and the Order.
Each one possesses extremely strong combat capabilities.
Even Ninth-Rank Nether Beast wouldn't dare to provoke it easily.
Long Huayu's face was extremely ugly.
What he feared most were these Guard Army.
They possess the power to restore Order.
In the Netherworld, Order reigns supreme.
No existence can challenge the Order.
Long Huayu took a deep breath and immediately said, "The Nether Emperor is dead. The Netherworld does not need a new Nether Emperor. For our race, the appearance of a new Nether Emperor will bring us a life-or-death blow!"
"I must eliminate the Nether Emperor Successor!"
The figure clad in golden armor had a cold look in his eyes.
He was originally a member of the Nether Emperor Guard.
Naturally, such words from the other person would provoke his displeasure.
However, the Nether Emperor of that time did not fully control the Order.
They can only borrow a portion of the power of Order, so as Guard Army, they cannot act recklessly.
We can only act according to the terms of the Contract.
Otherwise, the Order would not have helped him, and he would not have been able to contend with the Nether Dragon Clan.
"Why do you think that the Nether Emperor Successor will bring a devastating blow to your clan once he grows up?" the Golden Armored Man questioned.
"Because the Nether Emperor is powerful enough, and my clan has a blood feud with him. If it weren't for him, how could our clan have ended up like that, reduced from the most powerful clan to a nobody!"
"If it weren't for the strength of my clan, I don't know if we would even exist now!" Long Huayu said.
"That was a matter from the previous administration, and it may not be related to the current administration!" said the Golden Armored Man.
"Regardless of whether there is any connection, we must nip it in the bud if possible!" Long Huayu said.
The Golden Armored Man had a cold look in his eyes.
A calligraphy brush appeared in his hand and danced in the air.
"According to the rules of Order, this is mere speculation and does not hold true. However, it is a fact that your Nether Dragon Clan and the Nether Emperor have a deep-seated grudge. Coupled with your actions today, it is indeed possible that the Nether Emperor Successor will grow up and launch an attack on you!"
"To avoid such a situation, the Order is willing to give you a chance!"
"Three days from now, both sides will enter the Great Nether Mountain and select their most outstanding clansmen to fight against the Nether Emperor Successor. If the Nether Emperor Successor loses to you, then he will be handed over to you for disposal!"
"If the Nether Emperor Successor wins, then your clan must not attack him, and you must also help the Nether Emperor Successor resist the attacks from the higher-ups!"
The Golden Armored Man said in an icy voice.
It seems he was considering the interests of the Nether Dragon Clan.
But in reality, it was also using the rules to help Lin Mu.
However, rules originate from Order, and he cannot use them arbitrarily.
This was the only way to give Lin Mu a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, the two races will go to war.
The forces behind them will also intervene.
At that time, the Netherworld will appear to be in a state of chaos.
This is Order does not want to see.
A cold smile played on Long Huayu's lips.
He knew very well that Lin Mu had only just become the Nether Emperor Successor, and had only absorbed one Nether Pool.
To fight against the most outstanding genius of their clan.
He has no chance of winning.
As for helping Lin Mu defend against attacks from higher-ups after losing, he didn't care at all.
Because he has absolute confidence.
"Okay!" Long Huayu said.
Di Yan's expression was extremely ugly; he naturally knew the power of the Nether Dragon Clan.
Not every genius of the Nether Dragon Clan is as incompetent as Long Huagu.
The reason why the Nether Dragon Clan was able to survive under the Nether Emperor was because their clan was powerful and had value to be exploited.
With Lin Mu's current strength, how could he possibly be their match?
The Golden Armored Man didn't even ask Di Yan a question; instead, he wrote a few lines of text in mid-air.
A contract then emerged.
"Three days later, the top geniuses of the Nether Dragon Clan will fight against the Nether Emperor Successor. If the Nether Emperor Successor loses, he will be at the Nether Emperor Successor Nether Dragon Clan. If the successor wins, and any Nether Beast whose cultivation surpasses his by a major Realm attacks him in the future, the Nether Dragon Clan must mobilize its entire force to annihilate him! This must not be disobeyed!"
The message spread throughout the entire Netherworld almost instantly.
All races knew that in three days, the Nether Emperor Successor would face off against the top genius of the Nether Dragon Clan.
This news shocked them greatly.
After all, the Netherworld is vast!
Communication was also relatively isolated.
Many ethnic groups are still unaware of Lin Mu's identity.
I don't know how he performed.
"A clash between the Nether Emperor Successor and a genius of the Nether Dragon Clan —could this trigger the rules of Order? What happened?"
"Indeed, how could a fight between two juniors trigger the rules of Order? What exactly did the Nether Dragon Clan do?"
"Interesting. It's been a long time since the Netherworld has seen such a commotion. It seems something is about to happen in the Netherworld again!"
"The Nether Emperor Successor? Weren't Nether Emperor Successor supposed to be useless? How come this generation has turned out like this?"
"Interesting! I didn't expect the Nether Dragon Clan to still be so determined to prevent the emergence of a new Nether Emperor!"
"..."
Many ethnic groups are discussing this.
The more cautious groups would send their subordinates to gather information.
They also wanted to know what had happened to cause such a commotion.
The three top ethnic groups also received the news.
Their complexions were not very good.
In fact, they already knew of Lin Mu's existence before.
However, they didn't take it seriously.
After all, the Nether Emperor has been gone for a long time, and his successors have always been mediocre and not worth cultivating at all.
To their surprise, Order actually emerged.
That must mean something big has happened.
"For a Nether Emperor Successor to cause such a commotion, it seems that this Nether Emperor Successor is not so simple!" The patriarch of the Nether River Clan had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"It's interesting that the Order has to step in, but the Netherworld doesn't need the Nether Emperor. This person must die!" the Netherworld Dragon Clan Chief said coldly.
"The Nether Emperor Successor has descended, and the Netherworld will have a new Order. The prophecy from thousands of years ago has actually come true. Nether Emperor, I still underestimated you!" The patriarch of the Ksitigarbha Clan said slowly.
