Chapter 2846: The Plot Thickens?

The Human Realm intended on warring with the Heaven Realm?

Then, what was the relationship between the Divine Prefecture and the Heaven Realm?

After all, the relationship with Donghuang the Great should make the Heaven Realm that much closer to the Divine Prefecture. However, the current ruler of the Heaven Realm was Ji Wudao.

The news that passed around on the outside world was that the Heaven Realm was interested in allying with the Divine Prefecture. However, no one knew if this was true or just a rumor generated by those with ulterior motives.

Everything was yet to be revealed.

“The Human Realm claims to be dealing in the justice of the world, and if they are out there inviting various imperial-level forces to fight against the Heaven Realm, then the Palace Lord’s guess must be correct. The news was spreading to all the realms, and only imperial-level forces had that kind of power required, so there is a high probability that it is the Human Realm behind everything,” Fang Gai also agreed.

“Will all the imperial-level forces respond?” asked Ye Futian.

“Yes,” next to him, Zhuge Mingyue piped up, “for there to be a complete micro Heavenly Path remaining, which most people considered to be a remnant of The Heavenly Path. How could the land of the Seven Realms not covet it? Coupled with today’s speculation about the Heavenly Realm, none of these imperial-level forces will mind following the trend. Depending on how the situation develops, there is a high probability that they will respond to the call of the Human Realm.”

“I agree with Mingyue,” Lord Taixuan concurred.

“So, the Heaven Realm will face a major catastrophe?” Ye Futian murmured. “But since Ji Wudao dared to display his full strength, he must be prepared for them. Perhaps, that piece of the Heavenly Path upon the Ninety-Ninth Heaven gave him the confidence.”

“Ji Wudao has endured in silence for many years, and once broke out of his shell, he did not bother hiding all that he is. He even killed a returning ancient emperor with thundering speed. It must be that he was no longer afraid of imperial-level forces and has the confidence to face them,” Fung Gai said. “I guess that under that piece of the Heavenly Path, Ji Wudao’s strength might be even amplified further.”

They knew that piece of Heavenly Path was a conscious existence. This was not a speculation but a true testament. For more than 20 years, they cultivated in the ninety-ninth heaven and had witnessed it with their own eyes.

“Palace Lord,” a voice called out from beneath the sky stairwell outside. Ye Futian’s attention was drawn to the outside as he asked, “What is it?”

“Palace Lord, an emissary from the Human Realm, has requested an audience with the Palace Lord,” the man answered. Although he was standing under the sky stairwell, he knew that Ye Futian could hear him clearly.

“Show them in,” Ye Futian responded.

“Yes, Palace Lord,” the man retreated to carry out the command as Ye Futian and the others looked into the distance. Fang Cun said, “These people came real fast. The cultivators from the Human Realm have never been very friendly to us, yet they have the gall to come here.”

Last time, the Human Realm came here as well.

“At this stage of the cultivation, it is already at the pinnacle of the game, directly concerning who will be in charge of the world order. There is no such thing as eternal enemies, just as there is no such thing as eternal friends. It is entirely conceivable for the Human Realm to come here,” Fang Gai countered.

Fang Cun nodded thoughtfully. After all, it was his grandfather who was speaking, and Ye Futian ultimately agreed with them. The relationship between the Seven Realms had been very intricate. When the Devil Emperor mentioned the death of Emperor Ye Qing, it was also because of the attitude of the six emperors.

However, now that the Age of the Gods was upon them, the six emperors were no longer deciding the life and death of just one Great Emperor. The situation they faced now was more complicated than ever; a chaotic age was about to begin.

Moments later, the cultivators from the Human Realm came right to the base of the sky stairwell. They were not as insolent this time as when they were here last time. They stood respectfully under the sky stairwell and saluted. “Greetings to Palace Lord Ye.”

The lead cultivator from the Human Realm was an ancient emperor, but this time he was observing the etiquette to the extreme, which surprised Ye Futian quite a bit. Had they had a change of heart?

“What brought you here today?” Ye Futian asked across from the air.

“Palace Lord Ye must have been heard some of the matters taking place in the Heaven Realm. Ji Wudao cultivated unorthodox methods. With the aid of the Heavenly Path, he grew ambitious by the day. In the future, he will be the cause of the great catastrophe, bringing the world to the brink of disaster. Therefore, the Human Realm with the sword of justice invites all forces to demand righteousness from the Heaven Realm by invading together into the Ninety-Ninth heaven. Now, Palace Lord Ye is on the way to becoming a Great Emperor, and Ye Imperial Palace is already an imperial-level force, so we are here to invite you to eradicate this scourge with us.”

The cultivator from the Human Realm replied loud and clear.

Ye Futian listened to the other and responded, “Ye Imperial Palace is just a new force, small and not yet fully established, and I am just a Great Emperor-To-Be. In today’s world, with imperial-level cultivators returning one after another, and you being also someone of a Great Emperor, how can someone with so little power like me be partnered with the Human Realm?”

They wanted him to get into this mess with them?

Ye Futian knew that Ji Wudao was extremely talented and had once wanted to devour him when the two fought against one another. However, this did not mean that he was going to get involved. The move made by Donghuang the Great in the Divine Prefecture made Ye Futian realize that his strength was still too weak; he was still several steps behind Donghuang the Great.

At the moment, Ye Futian surmised that he was not yet fully qualified to stand at the same level as the six emperors. Even if he participated, he would only serve as cannon fodder.

For him, the important task was cultivation.

“Palace Lord Ye need not be overly self-deprecating,” the cultivators from the Human Realm continued. “In the battle at the Divine Prefecture, Palace Lord Ye fought against two emperors, and if Donghuang the Great did not interfere, perhaps you would have killed both of them. Such strength has already shocked the world. With Palace Lord Ye’s strength, when you prove the Way in the future, you will undoubtedly become the top existence in the world.”

“That’s something only the future can tell,” Ye Futian said with a smile. “However, if every realm were to take action, I’m willing to follow behind and cheer for everyone.”

When the other man heard Ye Futian’s words, he looked up to the top of the sky stairwell. Then, the person in the lead said, “In that case, don’t miss it when the Six Realms make their move, Palace Lord Ye.”

“I definitely won’t,” Ye Futian responded.

“We will bid our farewells now,” the man said.

“Travel safe,” Ye Futian replied.

After the cultivators from the Human Realm left Ye Imperial Palace, Ye Futian was seen frowned slightly. He didn’t quite understand the intention of the Human Realm, and why would they want to invite him?

“Since the Human Realm came here, they probably went to the land of the Six Realms as well to see if any of the other forces would agree to their tactics,” Ye Futian said. Everyone nodded, and all of them were waiting for more news.

Now, all the realms were connected through the Gods’ Ruins Continent, so the news spread even more rapidly and efficiently. They chose to gather at Gods’ Ruins Continent because it would be convenient to receive news of any potential developments.

A few days later, information came to Ye Imperial Palace.

The Human Realm had invited the Six Realms to deal with the Heaven Realm. The Devil World, the Empty Divine Realm, and the Dark World were all willing to go; the exception was the World of Buddhism. However, no one thought that was out of the ordinary. The World of Buddhism had always kept their participation to a minimum.

However, the refusal by the Divine Prefecture was a bit intriguing.

In Ye Imperial Palace, Ye Futian and the others were a little surprised when they learned of the refusal of the Divine Prefecture.

“What’s the situation in the outside world now?” Ye Futian asked.

“All the realms may set off at any time, and at the same time, the Heaven Realm may have already secretly formed an alliance with the Divine Prefecture,” someone replied.

Ye Futian frowned slightly. He had a feeling that there was something more than what met the eye behind this incident, and things may not be as simple as they seemed!
