"I see..."
After listening to what the Sect Master Guangwang said, Chen Qingyu suddenly understood.
Those Half-Step Heavenly Lord are undoubtedly among the most powerful beings in the entire Endless Battlefield.
The Heavenly Stem Alliance lost one member, while the Earthly Branch Alliance gained two. With this shift in power, the alliance was instantly at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately, this disadvantage cannot be reversed in the short term.
After all, the number of Half-Step Heavenly Lord is extremely limited; they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns across the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
"Young Palace Master..."
The Sect Master Guangwang hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice:
"I suggest you temporarily change your title and avoid revealing your true identity."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu narrowed his eyes.
Is there some taboo surrounding this?
"There's no taboo about it..."
After a moment's hesitation, the Sect Master Guangwang explained in a low voice:
"Several years have passed, and new Peak Emperor Venerable have entered the Endless Battlefield one after another. Your reputation must have spread far and wide by now."
"And as far as I know, you also have a senior brother who is Half-Step Heavenly Lord, and he's also in the Heavenly Stem Alliance..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly:
"I understand... You're worried that someone in the rival Earthly Branch Alliance might use my identity to their advantage against my senior brother?"
"Right."
Sect Master Guangwang said frankly:
"Your identity is too special; once exposed, you could easily be targeted by the Earthly Branch Alliance."
"At that time, our situation will be extremely dangerous."
Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"I see."
His current strength is not considered extremely formidable among the many Peak Emperor Venerable, and he is far from being Half-Step Heavenly Lord.
In this situation, being targeted by a powerful member of the Earthly Branch Alliance would indeed pose a considerable danger.
In the Endless Battlefield--
His status as a direct disciple of the Heavenly Lord would not bring him any special privileges, but would instead bring him unnecessary trouble.
"Um..."
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Then I'll change my title... I'll call myself the Great Emperor Wanjie."
"Good!"
The Sect Master Guangwang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly:
"From now on, I will address the young palace master as Brother Wanjie."
As he spoke, he looked towards the magnificent tower in the distance:
"Brother Wanjie, the situation in the Heavenly Stem Alliance is quite dire."
"Let's go and obtain the Heavenly Lord Talisman Edict first, and then discuss this further."
"OK."
Chen Qingyu nodded, and immediately flew towards the tower in the center of the fortress together with Sect Master Guangwang.
soon:
The two descended in a beam of light, ascended the celestial steps, and entered the magnificent tower.
Looking around, the central hall of the tower was bustling with people. There were hundreds of Peak Emperor Venerable walking back and forth and talking about their surroundings, and their expressions didn't seem very good.
"Um?"
Chen Qingyu noticed that several high-hanging lists were scattered throughout the main hall of the tower, each list shimmering with light and bearing lines of text.
Besides, there seemed to be many different departments here, and he saw quite a few Peak Emperor Venerable queuing in front of different passages.
"Brother Wanjie, come with me!"
The Sect Master Guangwang was clearly quite familiar with this place. He gave a greeting and walked straight to the center—the only passage without any queues.
Chen Qingyu didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he could only quickly step forward and follow behind him.
Many of the Peak Emperor Venerable in the main hall noticed their figures and began to discuss them casually:
Two more have arrived!
"Yes, there have been quite a few people coming lately!"
"I estimate that Emperor Venerable who participated in the war during this period have probably been assigned to our Heavenly Stem Alliance!"
"Alas, what's the use of sending more? Without a Half-Step Heavenly Lord, nothing can be changed!"
Some Emperor Venerable discussed it briefly, shook their heads inwardly, and then all turned their attention away.
Chen Qingyu followed the Sect Master Guangwang through a deep passage and arrived at a palace with a towering dome.
Looking around:
Above the dome stood twelve imposing statues, each with a different appearance and emanating a hazy aura that obscured their faces.
The only thing they had in common was that all twelve statues exuded an aura of vastness and supreme power, which was awe-inspiring.
"This is..."
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly.
He turned his head and glanced around, and found that beneath each statue was a celestial stele, inscribed with the honorific title.
He recognized several familiar names, such as " Mystery Lord," " Heavenly Lord Donglong," " Lord of Unfettered Heaven," " Radiant God King," and so on, as well as his master Danyang Ju's title—" Supreme Star Venerable."
"Boom!"
The twelve statues simultaneously emitted a beam of spiritual light, soaring into the sky.
A total of twelve beams of spiritual light converged in mid-air, then split into two, landing on Chen Qingyu and Sect Master Guangwang respectively.
"Um?"
Chen Qingyu raised his hand and saw that there was an extremely complex spiritual mark on the back of his right hand.
He subconsciously extended his divine sense, and a message immediately returned from his sea of consciousness:
[ Heavenly Stem Alliance ]
Rank: First Rank
Merit: Zero Point Meow Meow Little Says
"This thing is rather interesting..."
Chen Qingyu's expression became somewhat subtle, and a hint of interest arose in his heart.
Since entering the Endless Battlefield:
The Heavenly Lord power that came from his master, Danyang Ju, had dissipated, which meant that he could no longer freely leave the Endless Battlefield.
This Heavenly Lord Talisman Edict was clearly formed from the power of the twelve Heavenly Lord in a very ingenious way.
"Alright."
The Sect Master Guangwang looked relaxed, shook his right hand, and casually said:
"This is the Heavenly Lord Talisman Edict."
"It's not just an identification document; it also has many special functions. Without it, you can hardly move an inch on the Endless Battlefield."
"With this talisman, we are now officially members of the Heavenly Stem Alliance."
He paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Qingyu:
"Brother Wanjie, you saw earlier that there are quite a few palaces and halls in the Heavenly Stem Alliance fortress, right?"
"Those are all residences prepared for the participating Emperor Venerable, and many of them are unoccupied. Let's go and choose two nearby ones first, and then we'll see what happens."
"Good."
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly in agreement.
The two returned through the passage, hurriedly left the tower, and after flying for half a day, found two nearby uninhabited palaces.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!"
With each of their Heavenly Lord Talisman Edict emitting a beam of light, they occupied the palace.
"Brother Wanjie."
The Sect Master Guangwang looked solemn and gave instructions:
"You rest for a moment, I'll go find some old friends and get some information."
"Let's discuss this further when I get back."
"OK."
Chen Qingyu nodded in agreement, glanced at the Sect Master Guangwang, and quickly turned and flew away.
After he left:
Chen Qingyu flicked his sleeve, and the door in front of him opened wide. He stepped into the hall and found a grand chair to sit down.
"It's time."
His eyes flickered slightly, and he silently recited in his heart:
"System! I need to sign in!"
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
