Silence reigned, and every living being gazed fervently at the Progenitor, East Emperor.
East Emperor looked down at them, his entire body bathed in boundless azure light that obscured his form.
Even the few Universe Strongest and the hundreds of Universe Masters felt an invisible, absolute pressure.
It was a pressure far greater than that of any known Strongest Supreme Treasure.
It left them unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
"I heard that an inheritance has emerged within Universe Boat, one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands in the Universe Ocean. It is called the inheritance of Duan Donghe Wu. Is that true?" East Emperor asked slowly.
"Yes!" the hundreds of Universe Masters and Universe Strongest answered respectfully in unison.
They, too, had only just received the news, but naturally, nothing that happened within the Holy Land Universe could escape the Progenitor, East Emperor.
"The inheritance of Duan Donghe Wu was one of the very finest inheritances even within that mighty ancient civilization!"
"Star Lord Bei Zhen, I command you to personally escort twenty Universe Masters, two hundred Universe Venerables, and two thousand Undying to Universe Boat as quickly as possible. Take them there to brave its trials and seize that inheritance!" East Emperor ordered.
"Yes." A white-robed man immediately stepped forward and answered respectfully.
He was Star Lord Bei Zhen.
Star Lord Bei Zhen was an exceedingly ancient being.
As a Universe Strongest... he had naturally attained that rank during his own original universe era.
In other words, he was an ancient being from the same era as East Emperor Ancestor.
However, his Miniature Universe had long since perished, crumbling and decaying. He could only cling to life with the Holy Land Universe as his foundation.
"Are there any volunteers?"
East Emperor looked down at them.
