A Ten-Thousand-Year Pact: The Dao Struggle!

The top executives from both sides finalized the plan.

Neither the Human Race nor the Samsara Underworld may intervene in any way, nor may they send any of their subordinate races or their own forces' True Immortal.

The matter of the Dao depends entirely on the abilities of Qin Lu and Xu Huai!

This means that the helpers must be won by the two of them, and the helpers cannot be Human Race, True Immortal from the Samsara Underworld, or their vassal forces.

This is practically a public gamble!

It seems to be an invitation to all races and beings to place bets on these two things; whoever wins will gain the favor of the future Dao Ancestor.

Moreover, one side is backed by the Human Race, and the other side is backed by the Samsara Underworld.

Whichever side wins, they'll make a killing!

And with ten thousand years as the dividing line, ten thousand years later, under the leadership of Qin Lu and Xu Huai, a life-or-death battle will be organized...

Whoever wins will be the Dao Ancestor!

There were no fancy schemes or calculations; it was a direct confrontation. Whoever won would become Dao Ancestor, and whoever lost would perish. It was that straightforward and clear.

Both sides wanted to lower the intensity of the war to avoid a desperate all-out effort that could allow other forces to ambush them from behind...

Based on this demand...

This led to such a peak showdown, a bet that lasts for ten thousand years!

News of the age-old gambling war spread like wildfire.

The heavens made no comment on this, and many races even sighed, their expressions showing a hint of disappointment...

This is clearly not giving these small forces a chance to fish in troubled waters!

The last time the position of Dao Ancestor was involved was the struggle Yang Dao, which attracted thousands of True Immortal to watch, and later even led to a riot...

A total of five or six major clans became sacrifices in this war!

In one fell swoop, nearly fifty True Immortal perished, including one Taiyi and one Golden Immortal. If it weren't for the suppression by various powerful forces...

Otherwise, that great chaos would likely have affected even more True Immortal!

But this time...

Whether it was the Human Race or the Samsara Underworld, they all appeared very restrained. The last time there was a conflict Yang Dao, it was the Endless Land that mediated between them.

But this time, there are no other forces to mediate for them, and it involves the strongest top-tier races and super powers...

The two Dao Ancestor involved alone numbered fifteen, far exceeding the scale of the Yin-Yang conflict. This situation arose in order to suppress the situation as much as possible.

This also completely eliminated the possibility for numerous small forces in the heavens to fish in troubled waters!

If you want to make a profit, you have no choice but to openly join one of the two camps and risk your life for the gambling war ten thousand years from now. Once you talk about risking your life, the nature of the matter changes.

This also directly discouraged a large number of True Immortal who were afraid of death. After all, as True Immortal, they already possessed Endless life and had no need to risk their lives for the benefit of others!

Risking your life and taking advantage of others are ultimately two different probabilities.

Of course, there were also gamblers among them, after all, if they bet correctly, they would have found a Dao Ancestor to rely on for themselves and their clan.

Moreover, this Dao Ancestor has a powerful force behind him, so it's not impossible for him to rise to great heights and for his entire clan to prosper!

Therefore--

Recently, all the races in the heavens have been unusually active, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of both sides, but overall...

It was indeed not very friendly to Qin Lu's side.

After all, the Xuhun occupies 40% of the power, and even without the support of the Samsara Underworld, he still has the Spirit Locust Race standing behind him!

The Spirit Locust Race is comparable in size to the Withering and Flourishing Ye Clan of the Human Race. It also has one Daluo Immortal in existence, as well as three Golden Immortal and fifteen True Immortal.

There are also three vassal clans: the Bone Hound, the Evil Owl, and the Nether Dragon Clan. Together, the three clans have a total of ten True Immortal True Immortal!

Adding the Spirit Locust Race, there are now twenty-nine True Immortal: one Daluo, three Golden Immortal, six Senior Profound Mystic Immortal, and nineteen Ordinary Profound Mystic Immortal.

In contrast, Qin Lu's forces consist of eight True Immortal from the Qin Humans Race, three from the Winged Tiger Race, three from the Ancient Wood Ye Clan Leaf clan, Nine Saints Demon Immortals, and Qieye Race...

With a total of twenty-four immortals, this means that on paper, the four True Immortal of Xu Huai's side are missing, and there is also a lack of top-level Golden Immortal -level combat power.

This made many forces more optimistic about Xu Huai's side!

Furthermore, given that Xu Huai Xu Huai more powerful and has the backing of the Samsara Underworld, his chances of winning seem much greater.

Therefore--

Since the news of the ten-thousand-year wager spread, less than ten years have passed, and three more powerful clans have been added under Xu Huai's command. Each of these clans has six True Immortal in charge, including three Golden Immortal!

In this way, Xu Huai now possessed forty-seven True Immortal, and this was only the beginning. Furthermore, Xu Huai rejected many other forces...

We will only select those allies who have a certain level of influence!

In contrast, the Vast Spirit Star Domain appears exceptionally deserted.

However, Qin Lu's side remained calm and composed, because compared to Ling Huai's side, which had a large and powerful force, the allies Qin Lu had found were also quite influential!

Amidst the churning sea of clouds, a giant dragon soared through the starry sky. Dao of Clouds Taiyi, also known as Long Yunxian, along with two other immortals from the Cloud Dragon Race, arrived to lend their assistance.

The three cloud dragons were as vast as the Milky Way, each exuding a powerful aura!

Not only is Long Yunxian Taiyi, but the other two Yunlong Immortals are also senior Mystic Immortal, and their combat strength should not be underestimated...

Taiyi was also the first of the two sides to join the betting war!

Amidst the starry sky, Heaven Beyond Pavilion.

Long Yuntian and Qin Lu sat facing each other at the bank. Others might not know Qin Lu's character, but Long Yuntian and Qin Lu had dealt with each other several times...

Their understanding of Emperor Nether was extremely clear.

The opponent had been an immortal for less than ten thousand years, yet he had risen from an unknown junior to Daluo Immortal and participated in the Dao Competition...

This alone demonstrates his extraordinary nature, especially considering that he also killed Taiyi Bai E, who was at the same realm, further highlighting his exceptional abilities!

Given such a figure, Long Yuntian didn't think he would lose, nor did he think his opponent had no backup plan. The struggle for power in the Dao is not just about the number of True Immortal.

Putting aside other things--

Based solely on what Long Yuntian saw and learned, he determined that Qin Lu's chances of winning were at least 50%, or even 60% or 70%!

As Long Yuntian's gaze moved downwards, he saw the Great Qin Nebula slowly twisting...

In the entire starry sky, a huge, crystal-clear begonia flower slowly bloomed, its aura already extremely close to that of True Immortal.

And directly above it lies the Qin Realm!

Connected to the main trunk of the crabapple tree, it resembles a bright pearl, supported at the core of the Great Qin Nebula, from which eight main root veins sprout...

Except for one side, which is still vacant, the other seven are all connected to the secondary trunk of the crabapple tree, showing a subtle trend of becoming one!

"I never expected that Emperor Nether You had such a plan so early on. Once the Dao War begins, you only need to complete this Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation to repel an enemy several times larger."

"Even if that Xu Huai were to gather a hundred immortals to attack him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to break through your trap, fellow Daoist."

"Emperor Nether Di You, you are truly a great talent!"
