Since the Ancient Era, he had felt that everyone’s state of mind had undergone a huge change.

They were reaching for the unreachable, their ambitions soaring high. Such was the opinion of Liu Ya towards these individuals. The Qishen Temple had bestowed upon them a Divine Dao, making them excessively proud.

In the Ancient Era, they could have shared their knowledge with Zhen Wuyang. If only they had joined forces with Zhen Wuyang to explore the Qishen Temple, they might not have met their downfall and fallen into the state they were in now.

When they saw Zhen Wuyang’s potential, they were afraid that Zhen Wuyang would take advantage of them, so they sealed the Qishen Temple and refused to hand it over even if they died.

Zhen Wuyang was so angry that he went crazy and searched for the

Disambiguation God Temple in the Grand Priest Domain. Then, he killed all of them in the great desolate.

Greed, arrogance, jealousy.

With such a temperament, how could they inherit Qishen’s Dao’s Devouring Dao?

The strongest among them was only at the eighth level, and his strength was around the fourth-tier. Qishen’s Dao was endless, and even if he cultivated to the tenth level, he might not be able to control the universe and become a Universe Master.

He might as well settle for the next best thing and study the Dao of the Three Divine Lords.

Now that he had entered the eighth level of the Desolate Dao and controlled the vast Great Desolate Wilderness, he already had the strength of a fourth-tier Emperoor.

is understanding of the Desolate Dao was not inferior to those who practiced the Qishen Dao. Since he gained control over the Great Desolate Wilderness, his insights into the Desolate Dao deepened. It wouldn’t be long before he reached the ninth level of the Desolate Dao. Once he elevated the Great Desolate Wilderness to a high-grade world, he would step into fifth-tier, dominating the entire universe.

The more powerful he was, the more generous the rewards from the Qishen Temple would be. Although he had inherited the Dao of the Three Divine Lords, the rewards would be relatively lesser, but how much less could it be?

Liu Ya caressed his left arm.

This was a gift that he had received after he increased his strength in controlling the Great Desolate Wilderness. It was an arm.

He didn’t know if this arm was the severed arm of that mighty figure, but it had already surpassed the power of a supreme treasure without being refined. Ever since it had been taken over by him, its power had increased by several times. Even now, he had absolute confidence in facing Zhen Wuyang.

As for the many Emperors in the hall, each one was his equal.

Over millions of years, these 18 Emperors included 5 with the power of third-tier and 11 with second-tier. Then there was Daogong, who could rival Zhen Wuyang in the Ancient Era. If Daogong hadn’t possessed third-tier power back then, Zhen Wuyang wouldn’t have needed to banish them to the Great Desolate Wilderness; he could have annihilated them within the Great Si Region.

Unfortunately, Daogong’s strength did not break through again until his death. After this revival, his strength barely reached the level of fourth-tier, so he could not threaten Zhen Wuyang at all.

“Everyone, I’ve said before that I will protect the Qishen Temple, and this is where you all come in.”

Liu Ya scanned the entire hall and continued, “But there’s one thing you all need to understand: power speaks in this world.”

“With numerous Emperors arriving in the Great Desolate Wilderness, not only from the Buddhist Realm but also from other major worlds, some of these powerful beings are no weaker than Zhen Wuyang!”

Daogong, who had always occupied the seat of honor in the hall, opened his eyes at this moment and spoke, “Liu Ya, just say what you want to say!”

“Yes, speak your mind! We have accumulated millions of years, and our strength has improved. Combined with the blessings of the Qishen Temple, we are no longer what we used to be.”

Back then, they had feigned death in the Great Desolate Wilderness, pouring the blood of millions of Grand Yan Immortals along with their own into the

Qishen Temple. Their purpose was to activate the power of the Qishen Temple. However, no one had expected that it would take millions of years before the Qishen Temple reciprocated their efforts.

Their consciousness had been trapped within the Qishen Temple for millions of years, persevering in the cultivation of the Qishen Dao. Naturally, their strength had greatly increased. They also obtained numerous treasures from the sacrificial altar of the Qishen Temple. Although many Emperors had arrived now, it was not as dire as the time during the Ancient Era, where they had no power to resist.

“Alright, let me be clear. I now control the Great Desolate Wilderness. Are there any objections if we make this our battleground?”

“Naturally!” everyone nodded.

“If we engage in battle, all of you will follow my command. Is that acceptable?”

At these words, the atmosphere in the hall grew tense, and everyone fell silent.

“Liu Ya, don’t go too far. We all inherit the Divine Dao of the Qishen Temple. Although you are the newly appointed Divine Lord, you don’t have the authority to command us!”

It was Emperor Fenghua who spoke up. He could tolerate Liu Ya in many matters, but what he couldn’t tolerate was being overshadowed by Liu Ya. Ever since inheriting the Qishen Dao, they no longer needed to look up to Zhen Wuyang. If they could bow to Liu Ya, they would have done so long ago, and there would be no need for Liu Ya to act like this.

“Everyone, don’t you understand yet?” Liu Ya didn’t adopt a harsh tone this time. He knew these people’s temperaments well. The more aggressive he was, the more they resisted.

Being aggressive wouldn’t work; persuasion was the key.

“That scoundrel Zhen Wuyang probably has revealed the existence of the Qishen Temple to the entire original universe. By revealed, I mean everyone in the entire universe knows. It’s very likely that in the near future, even the powerful beings from different universes will know about the Qishen Temple.”

Liu Ya took a deep breath and continued, “Even terrifying entities from the

River of Time and Space will come to the original universe because of the Qishen Temple. Let alone in the distant future, just look at now. In the Great Desolate Wilderness alone, I’ve sensed 5 fourth-tier Emperors within less than a day.”

“5 fourth-tier Emperors!” Everyone gasped.

They had originally thought it was just Zhen Wuyang alone, perhaps with a few Emperors from the Buddhist Realm.

“The Buddhists from the Buddhist Realm, Zhen Wuyang from the Grand Domain, and two unfamiliar faces. Besides these 4 Emperors, there are 7 third-tier Emperors and 16 second-tier Emperors. Let’s not even mention the levels below second-tier…”

Liu Ya resumed his seat on the throne and concluded, “I don’t mind, because this is the Great Desolate Wilderness, filled with endless corpses. As long as I gather them into one entity, they can’t harm me. I will guard the Qishen Temple. But if you think you can preserve your lives here, I won’t interfere either.”

The Qishen Temple was divided into inner and outer halls. They could only communicate with the inner hall through the sacrificial altar. The power they wielded in the outer hall wasn’t significant. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been suppressed by Zhen Wuyang back in the day.

Now that Liu Ya had become a Dao Ancestor, controlling the Great Desolate

Wilderness, he wasn’t afraid of those foreign Emperors. However, they weren’t Dao Ancestors; the strongest among them were only ordinary fourth-tier Emperors. They had nowhere to hide now; it was too late to escape.

“Damn that Zhen Wuyang. Isn’t he afraid that the Qishen Temple might fall into the hands of those Universe Masters?”

“He’s despicable, truly low. Right now, he can’t defeat us alone, but what if he brings in a large group of Emperors?”

“He hasn’t changed a bit.”

“Just as shameless as before!”

“Everyone, now we need to unite and resist the external enemies together.” Daogong stood up. He understood Liu Ya’ intentions. Although he knew they would suffer losses, he had no choice but to stand up now..
