The experts with Perfected Dao Fruits did not hesitate. One after another, they left the Finality Ancient Land.
Soon, they appeared in the Border Region, and the progenitors of the various Great Worlds descended before them as projections.
Five progenitors and Gu Changsheng appeared before the crowd.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing the relief of people who had survived a calamity.
Gu Changsheng spoke, his voice booming like a great bell. "Everyone, the calamity in the Finality Ancient Land was fraught with danger. Had Lu Ren, the leader of our Chaos Clan, not turned the tide and foiled the Evil Dao's plot, these experts under your command with Perfected Dao Fruits might all have fallen. The Myriad Heavens would have suffered a grievous blow! His contribution is beyond dispute!"
His gaze swept over every progenitor present. "The Evil Dao's ambitions are now plain for all to see. Rather than passively defend our worlds, we should strike first! Since we have already declared war on the Evil Dao, let us seize this chance to formally forge an alliance, join forces, and destroy it together!"
"A formal alliance?"
Lu Ren was slightly startled.
"An alliance? The old alliance bred no shortage of trouble. Experts from the various Great Worlds each harbored their own schemes, deceiving and plotting against one another!" the Swallowing Sun Monster Ancestor said with a sneer.
Gu Changsheng continued, "If this is to be a true alliance, then we must choose a leader everyone can support, draw up an alliance pact, and place the allied armies of every world under one command!"
"Choose a leader?"
The Ancestor of Myriad Immortals' projection pondered for a moment. "Gu Changsheng, are you suggesting we choose Lu Ren?"
Gu Changsheng made no attempt to hide it. He smiled. "Exactly.
