"From this day forward, no more beasts will attack our cities."
Beside them, the dragonfish's wings fluttered lightly. A faint glimmer appeared in its lifeless eyes.
With that, the two Beast Emperors gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Whatever happens, each of us should return and make preparations."
The dean of the Heavenly Fire Academy sighed and hurriedly brought the high-level meeting of the Qiong Luo Realm to a close.
In the blink of an eye, only the deans of the five great academies remained in the hall.
"Perhaps we could ask for help."
A white-bearded old man stood up, glanced around the room, then spoke:
"The Divine Son of the Cosmic Temple, a sacred ground in the Great World of Ultimate Intent, is currently studying the Dao of Runes in seclusion at my Guiyi Academy. Perhaps we could ask him to seek help from the Cosmic Temple. As long as we can get a Supreme to lend us his strength..."
"That's a scheme to drive off a tiger only to invite in a wolf! The Great World of Ultimate Intent wants to expand too. When the time comes, we'll still be fish on the chopping block, and the Qiong Luo Realm still won't escape being swallowed up."
"The best outcome would be for the Qiong Luo Realm to be offered up."
The five deans exchanged glances and let out a heavy sigh. A deep sense of helplessness washed over them.
They had long foreseen this situation. The world had undergone a great change, and it could no longer give birth to Supremes.
Their Dao had long since taken shape, and other worlds would never allow them to condense a Dao Fruit.
Their paths had reached their ends. Apart from the Qiong Luo Realm, they had nowhere else to go.
