Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1939: Response of the Hegemonic Powers

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

After the Divine Ox Clan was annihilated, no other powers were in charge of the Desolate Region.

The Luoshen Clan was fragmented, one faction was in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, while the other faction has relocated. The Demon God Mountain was also in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, which resulted in the interesting situation today. This vast region actually had no hegemonic powers controlling it. This resulted in many experts contending against each other as a period of chaos began in the Desolate Region.

For the lower worlds controlled by the Desolate Region, a super strong mysterious power suddenly appeared in a city, fixing their base there. No one knew where this power originated from. This power kept a very low profile, but there were once some probes being conducted on it before and the only information ever collected was that the strength of this mysterious power was unfathomable.

This power was none other than one of the hegemons in the Desolate Region of the past. The Luoshen Clan.

Naturally, this was the faction that relocated away, the faction where Luoshen Mu was in charge.

Now, the atmosphere in the Luoshen Clan was a little subtle. Many people of this faction suddenly brought up the topic of returning to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. They weren’t willing to stay behind in this place full of weaklings. Naturally, they would have such thoughts because of the recent news they obtained. Although the Luoshen Clan has relocated, it was impossible that they didn’t leave behind any informants in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. During these years, all the major events that happened in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were known by them.

Not long ago, the Divine Ox Clan was just annihilated. The person who did this was none other than the son of the past princess of the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Qianxue – Qin Wentian.

The power that once humiliated their Luoshen Clan was now razed to flat ground, becoming a part of the history of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Not only so, the once imposing and lofty Qin Clan who went to the Luoshen Mountain to humiliate them before, was now also facing a great calamity. Many years ago, Qin Wentian went to the Heaven Region to stop the wedding between Qin Dangtian and Goddess Nichang. After that, he defeated Heaven’s Son and his grandfather Qin Tiangang traveled through time, dragging Qin Ding into chaotic space. Multiple heavenly deities of the Qin Clan had died then. This was a great catastrophe to them.

Different to the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan, Qin Wentian and the Luoshen Faction led by Luoshen Chuan, have now reclaimed their glory. They established the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and could cultivate in the Heaven Vault. It was rumored that right now, numerous heavenly deities have already been nurtured. The Battle Saint Tribe also resurfaced and Qin Wentian was their saint lord. Right now, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were filled with wariness with regards to Qin Wentian and the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect he established.

In the great hall of the Luoshen Clan, there were currently many experts gathered, in the midst of a discussion.

“I feel that we should return. The Heaven Vault is a cultivation secret realm and can help nurture many heavenly deities. It’s rumored that Qin Wentian already has multiple heavenly deities under his wing.” An old man spoke. With such an opportunity before them, they truly didn’t want to miss it.

“Don’t forget how had we treated Qin Wentian back then. It’s one thing that he doesn’t hate us. But if you hope that Qin Wentian would allow us to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation, that’s nothing but a foolish dream.” Another person argued.

“Back then, everyone in our Luoshen Clan came to a joint agreement of not accepting Qin Wentian. When Qin Wentian came, only Luoshen Chuan stood by his side. But now, aren’t the other members of the Luoshen Clan cultivating in the Heaven Vault as well? In any case, we share the same blood and we are all family. His grandfather and uncle are still around. If we apologize, there shouldn’t be any problems. What does it count for if we keep on turtling here?”

Clearly, there were people who wanted to return to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Even if they had to lay down their pride, it was fine to them. Everything was good as long as they could enter the Heaven Vault to cultivate.

Many people started arguing but the voices of returning were louder.

“Enough.” Luoshen Mu sat on the throne and berated. His expression was like ice.

The people of the Luoshen Clan could go back. Maybe, Qin Wentian might accept them. But what about him, Luoshen Mu?

He was the person who seized the position of the clan leader away from Luoshen Chuan. He was also the person who fragmented the Luoshen Clan. He had been plotting against Luoshen Chuan since a long time ago and back then when the Qin Clan arrived, he strongly disagreed with Luoshen Chuan who wanted to protect Qin Wentian. The Heaven Vault might accept the others, but it was impossible for Qin Wentian to allow him, Luoshen Mu, to enter. Also, once they returned, the Luoshen Clan would be under the control of Luoshen Chuan again. He, Luoshen Mu, would only have a single path left, he had to leave the Luoshen Clan and become a stranger. After so many years of fighting, wouldn’t he be a joke?

“In the future, I don’t wish to listen to such discussions ever again. Our Luoshen Clan doesn’t need to depend on others to survive.” Luoshen Mu coldly spoke. Many people turned their gazes to him, especially so for those who wished to return. Their gazes held no signs of respect, they no longer felt any reverence for Luoshen Mu.

“Clan leader, there are some words I shouldn’t say but right now, our faction of the Luoshen Clan is now in such a state, I will feel extremely stifled if I still don’t say them.” An old man spoke. “Once, we supported you to become the clan leader because we wanted the Luoshen Clan to grow stronger and stronger under your leadership. This was what you, the clan leader, promised us then. But in reality, after clan leader took over the Luoshen Clan, all our Luoshen Clan has known, was humiliation. In fact, we were even forced to relocate to a particle world. We are one of the hegemonic powers in the Desolate Region yet we have declined and fallen so much. As for Luoshen Chuan and the others, they were the ones who got revenge for the humiliation our Luoshen Clan suffered. In addition, they are growing increasingly stronger. There would come a day where it would no longer matter if our faction of the Luoshen Clan ceased to exist. People of the world would forget about us. Only the faction in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would be the true Luoshen Clan then.”

These words caused the hearts of many people to resonate. Through these many years, they have seen a lot of things but didn’t express their true emotions. It was impossible for them not to feel resentment. Right now, their emotions finally erupted forth.

Luoshen Mu turned pale. He glanced at everyone, many people were looking at him. Their gazes no longer had any respect like in the past, there was only resentment. It was like the decline of the Luoshen Clan was his responsibility alone.

Is this really what is happening? If it wasn’t for the appearance of Qin Wentian, would the faction led by Luoshen Chuan be able to rise up?

He didn’t lose to Luoshen Chuan, he lost to a junior instead, Luoshen Qianxue’s son. It was said that not long ago, Qin Wentian just killed the Ox Chieftain of the Divine Ox Clan. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful Qin Wentian was currently.

“If you all want to return, just return then. I won’t block any of you.” Luoshen Mu calmly spoke. After that, he stood up and left, leaving behind everyone who exchanged mutual glances. If they returned now, would Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan really accept them? Their hearts were filled with trepidation.

…

The change to the Luoshen Clan was clearly triggered by the destruction of the Divine Ox Clan. Also, the influence of that battle in the Divine Ox Castle wasn’t merely this.

Many hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms could feel a sense of crisis. At this moment, there were actually many powers heading to the western location of the Universe Region, to the Pureland of Bliss.

They naturally didn’t go there to seek the buddha about the dao. They wanted the buddhist sect there to help out.

In the Pureland of Bliss, in an ancient hall in the buddha sect, a reverend came by to welcome the heavenly deities of some of the hegemonic powers. All the heavenly deities acted very politely here to the buddha cultivators of the buddha sect.

At this moment, many of the heavenly deities were seated on simple-looking praying mats.

“Our buddhist sect pursues the great dao and has always had no intentions to be embroiled within the chaotic battles in the immortal realms. I can understand all of your intentions in coming here today, but we are helpless to do anything.” A reverend clad in a cassock pressed his palms together as he spoke to the heavenly deities gathered here.

“The Pureland of Bliss has always been separated from matters of the mortal world. We naturally understand this. All reverends in the Pureland of Bliss are people with high merits and dislike participating in disputes. However, right now, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms cannot know peace. Qin Wentian has caused multiple deity-level battles and he even annihilated the Divine Ox Castle completely. How many lives are there in a deity-level clan? All of them were exterminated just like that. He is like a butcher whose hands are stained with blood.” A heavenly deity calmly spoke. He pressed his palms together and bowed, “The buddha is merciful, how can you allow such a vile person to continue wreaking havoc in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? Also, the buddha sect in the Pureland of Bliss pursues the great dao. Inside the Heaven Vault, there are countless buddha-type constellations in the nine heavenly layers that could be of great benefit to the reverends in comprehending the dao of the buddha. Right now, Qin Wentian is monopolizing it alone and he is constantly causing trouble. His plan is probably to destroy all the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms so he can rule unchallenged.”

“Benefactor Qin doesn’t seem to be a person of great evil. As long as all of you don’t push him too hard, there won’t be a war in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” The reverend calmly spoke, he naturally had a balance in his heart and could judge things clearly.

“The present is different from the past. Currently, Qin Wentian’s strength is getting stronger and stronger. His ambition is starting to show. He is relying on the Heaven Vault to do whatever he wants. The Divine Ox Clan is a very good example, there’s sure to be more cases like that. The reverends of the Pureland of Bliss might not embroil themselves with matters of the world but I’m sure you all know about everything that has happened in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Another heavenly deity spoke.

The heavenly deity of the buddhist sect was as calm as ever. There were no fluctuations to his expression. No one could tell what he was thinking in his heart.

“The Heaven Vault is a place of troubles. If it exists, the disputes in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would never cease.” The reverend calmly spoke.

The eyes of the heavenly deities flashed while they cursed in their hearts. After that, one of the heavenly deities spoke, “The Heaven Vault can be given to the buddhist sect to control. It wouldn’t be open to all, the buddhist sect can choose to allow some people from the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to cultivate within. If this is the case, wouldn’t there no longer be any disputes?”

As the sound of his voice faded, the eyes of the reverend grew brighter. “If this is the case, wouldn’t the powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms turn against us?”

“How would we dare? The prestige of the buddhist sect is like the sun in the sky. It is a symbol of faith for the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and has established itself for countless years. If the buddhist sect was the one in control, the other powers would surely be able to rest at ease.” Someone else spoke. Although he didn’t mean what he said, he still managed to sound exceedingly calm.

The reverend which was a heavenly deity from the buddhist sect furrowed his brows slightly, like he was unwilling to agree. “If the buddhist sect acts, wouldn’t we be too overbearing in our actions?”

“How would that be possible? Qin Wentian originally is already monopolizing the Heaven Vault. The buddhist sect would only act because they wished to administer justice. It’s what the hearts of everyone else wished for.”

The various heavenly deities began to say all the good things. After all, the buddhist sect in the Universe Region was one of the supreme-tier existence in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

At the very least, they mustn’t allow another supreme-tier hegemonic power to appear. Qin Wentian, Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystical Palace, if they also became a supreme-tier existence, it would be the calamity of the other powers. They would rather the buddhist sect take control of the Heaven Vault and didn’t want to allow Qin Wentian to continue growing. It would be too dangerous to all of them.

As for the Pureland of Bliss, it by itself was already a supreme-tier hegemonic power. Even if they controlled the Heaven Vault, things would be the same. In any case, it would be better for the other powers compared to Qin Wentian being the controller of the Heaven Vault.

In addition, it was impossible for Qin Wentian to allow any of them to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. They would have hope if the controller is the buddhist sect instead.
