Such shocking news left even Xiao Ying, despite his mental preparation and exceptional resolve, unable to remain calm!
Outsiders watched the spectacle; insiders saw the workings.
So many terrifying powers had arrived, many of a stature that even powerful factions could scarcely hope to curry favor with, much less afford to offend. Now that they had gathered together, the host naturally had the greatest headache. Offending any one of them could invite a terrible disaster.
Even taking ten thousand steps back and disregarding any subsequent retaliation, if trouble broke out during the founding ceremony, how could the Sky-Supporting Tribe withstand it?
Leaving aside the first-rate factions, delegations from powers comparable to the overlords of the Two Seas would certainly include more than one Emperor Grade existence. That was the bare minimum; otherwise, those representatives could not have crossed between realms!
By that reckoning, how many were there altogether? The mere thought made Xiao Ying's scalp prickle and sent chills down his spine.
"The strength, influence, and reputation of our island and our tribe are naturally far from sufficient to attract so many factions. But the founding celebration, coupled with your various identities, High Priest, comes close! Your name now resounds throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. Your fame probably falls little short of the leaders of the various overlord powers!"
Guihai Canglan smiled charmingly and explained with some amusement. After a pause, she gave Xiao Ying a teasing look and continued:
"Have you forgotten, High Priest? Your name already resounded throughout the myriad worlds when you first ascended. Now, in just over three years, you have developed things to this extent and are holding a founding celebration rarely seen in the Two Seas. There is nothing strange about them coming to see the man behind that reputation!"
"..."
