1063 War Preparations

Qian Heng sat on a throne with only Lightning Fist and Snake Saber beside him. He felt humiliated but, more importantly, worried about the future of his world. Thinking that they might suffer the same fate they have only recently eliminated filled him with anxiety.

"What should we do?" asked Lightning Fist. Qian Heng groaned, "We must summon everybody and prepare for war."

"Should we embellish the truth a little?" asked Snake Saber. "After all, she easily embarrassed us; looking too weak may not be good."

The room was quiet, and the silence spoke many words. However, after a few seconds, Qian Heng shook his head. "As tempting as that is, we don't want our people to underestimate our enemies. On the contrary, we should probably make things worse; instill fear to ensure they band together to face this upcoming threat."

"But too much fear might have an adverse effect," countered Lightning Fist.

"Indeed," groaned Qian Heng. If the people are too afraid, this might lead to destroying their fighting spirit instead of rallying them. Additionally, some people might do stupid things in the midst of despair.

"In that case, we'll tell the truth."

The two hurriedly summoned all the Emperor, Dao, and Immortal Lineage of the world. The world was shocked and wondered what was happening. Was the Palm Peak Sect going to do something? Although they had only cultivated their fourth Great Emperor, with the Axe Overlord as an Eternal, they now had the power to change the world's political landscape.

The invitation also originated from the Iron Fist Gang and the Moon Saber Pavilion⌜€“two factions that recently gave birth to Immortal Sovereigns. As such, some people believed these three factions might have allied to do something major. Every martial artist felt Wulin (Martial Art World) was about to change.

While on guard, representatives from different factions attended the meeting. However, no one was prepared for the truth. As soon as everyone was present, Qian Heng did not hesitate to drop the bombshell. He told the truth about Xu Shi's appearance and the upcoming invasion.

"So, the rumors were true," muttered someone.

"I'm afraid so," nodded Qian Heng.

"So, what should we do?"

No one had an answer. It has only been over 200 generations since the Celestial Harmony Era ended and the Reviving Martial Art Era started. Two hundred generations is a long time for mortals but not nearly enough for all the surviving factions of this world to recuperate, let alone increase their strength.

Besides the current three with Eternal Class Powerhouses, only two factions could be classified as completely recuperated. The Rising Dragon Sect, a new sect with two Emperors, was allowed to keep such a domineering name because of their founder ⌜€“ the Dragon Subduing Emperor.

He was the supreme martial artist responsible for ending the reign of the Celestial Harmony World. He led the charge against them, slaughtering every last bit of influence they had in the Martial Hegemony World. He even led a successful attack on their homeworld.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"None of your business."

Qian Heng pondered; he was not as misinformed as the person who asked the questions. 'Merit is one of the few omnipotent resources in the world. But how much is needed to acquire a Heaven Will?' His intuition as a martial artist warned him he was missing a significant piece of this mystery.

"And what if I refuse your request?" asked Qian Heng.

"Then you will know why we considered ourselves a demonic cult."

Qian Heng released an intense killing intent, turning the room red in a matter of seconds. However, the Red-eye Demon remained calm, with a smirk, almost a sneer, on the corner of his mouth. Qian Heng secretly sighed before focusing on everyone else.

"What do you guys think?" he asked. "If I'm to gather merit for them, it will be from everyone's share."

No one said anything for a while, making the situation embarrassing. Luckily, [Snake Confinning Hand] Kang Han, the representative of the Rising Dragon Sect, said, "I agree. Our world is facing a catastrophe, and the appearance of a second Eternal - especially one as talented as the former Cult Leader - might be what saves us."

Since the Rising Dragon Sect spoke, everyone soon followed and agreed. The sect has settled its legacy as a faction of justice and honor for many years. Others decided to follow suit since they were willing to abandon their benefit for the greater good.

"Then, it's decided," declared Qian Heng. "I will need you to activate the World Protection Array."

"No problem," nodded Kang Han.

"I will prepare everything for the court," continued Qian Heng. "Everyone immediately gathers resources, your legions, disciples, elders, and wake up the sleeping ancestors. Once the court is established, we will pool all our strength together for this upcoming war."

Qian Heng sighed deeply, "Remember: our freedom and the fate of our world are on the line."

With a heavy burden, all the factions dispersed to prepare for this war. Kang Han immediately visited his sect master, and his first words were, "We need to activate the Ancestor's trial."

The sect master, a thin old man with black clothes too big for him and ridden with scars, looked at him in shock. One of their sect's biggest secrets was that the ancestor's body had so much injury by the time the Celestial Harmony World signed the treaty that he deemed it more efficient to build another one instead of healing it.

So, he left it to the sect and ascended with his soul. The Ancestor's Trial was a backhand left by the ancestors to cultivate an Eternal Class Powerhouse by absorbing his body. However, the Dragon Subduing Emperor warned them only to use this trial unless it was a last resort.

"What happened?"

Kang Han explained the situation, and the sect master accepted his proposal.
