Stronger from Earth

The Canglan Saint Master spent two days and finally clarified the situation of the Canglan Realm.

Under his orders, several Holy Spirits executed his tasks with determination, especially the Fifth Holy Spirit, whose actions greatly satisfied him.

In this moment of crisis, many major clans of the Canglan Realm have united.

Aside from a few who have a backup plan to escape into the stars if the situation turns unfavorable, most clans are fully committed, prepared to live or die with Canglan.

Currently, the biggest issue is the Revolutionary Knights.

Previously, their strength and potential were weak and not worth considering, but after that mysterious figure appeared, the Revolutionary Knights obtained a more advanced cultivation system and the endlessly potential Secret Technique "All Things Born."

This particular Secret Technique provides immense help to living beings.

With the aid of the Secret Technique, the Revolutionary Knights smoothly advance along the path of revolution. By relying on their own strength, they have also attracted many beings, gradually embarking upon the Path of the Knight.

At this rate of development, it might not be long before the Revolutionary Knights surpass the Canglan Divine Sect in terms of lower-tier cultivators’ numbers.

In the past few days, the Canglan Saint Master has thoroughly investigated the internal situation of the Revolutionary Knights, whose current core is the First Knight and the mysterious being from the stars.

To resolve the issue of the Revolutionary Knights now requires killing the leaders and swiftly eliminating the entire organization; otherwise, if not uprooted, it will resurge even more vigorously.

Just as the Canglan Saint Master was about to take action, an Archbishop urgently sent him a message.

"Saint Master, we detected anomalies in space; judging by the spatial disturbances, dozens of True Tier beings are approaching the Canglan Realm!"

With a beard as white as snow, the old bishop has been monitoring the stars for millions of years, with vast experience. Such anomalies in space likely indicate something significant.

The Canglan Saint Master looked grim: "It must be those traitors conspiring together, trying to take advantage of the chaos, damn them!"

He had always despised those traitors, who took over all of the Canglan Divine Sect’s starry resources when it was weak, and now in this crisis, they dare to reach into the Canglan Realm.

Had he known things would come to this, he should have risked bringing his army on an expedition to eradicate all traitors years ago, instead of waiting until now.

"Summon all True Tier beings to face the enemy with me!" the Canglan Saint Master said through gritted teeth.

A quarter hour later, the Canglan Saint Master had already gathered most of the True Tier beings. Including himself, the current Canglan Realm had one Void, five Star Lords, and dozens of True Tier beings.

They stood in the void, watching the rebels charge like a meteor, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

They discovered the aura of those forty-plus True Tier beings was unusually strong!

"The news from tens of thousands of years ago reported they only had five or six Star Lords and forty Grotto Void beings, didn’t it?"

"The Barbarian King has achieved Void, no wonder he can lead other True Tier powerful ones."

"Not only the Barbarian King, but the others’ cultivation level has also improved greatly, especially those newly advanced Star Lords. Where did they get the cultivation resources to help them break through?"

Facing these old enemies, the people of the Canglan Realm looked grim, finding it unbelievable to confront such progress and reluctant to face an even worse predicament.

The pressure on the Canglan Realm is already immense, with the powerful Earth Civilization about to pass through the Realm Gate, and the internal Revolutionary Knights causing chaos. Now, the rebels from the Xingyu have intervened, and their strength has increased so significantly.

If a battle were to break out now, the Canglan Realm might suffer a severe setback and let the Earth Civilization be the ultimate beneficiary.

The Barbarian King led a group of True Tier beings and, upon seeing the Canglan Saint Master whom he had revered for millions of years, couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

"Saint Master, I’m back!"

Those behind him, like the Golden Horn Silver Armor, couldn’t help but burst into laughter as well.

Back when the Canglan True God left, their insufficient strength could only occupy resources outside the Canglan Realm, while the Canglan Saint Master suppressed them using his inherent advantage.

Now they had submitted to the Venerable Lord, and in their lifetime, they could come back and flaunt their might.

There might be no more opportunities to swagger like this in the future.

After all, whether the Canglan Realm will still exist is uncertain.

"What is your purpose in returning?" the Canglan Saint Master asked, a shadowy image of a Trident forming in his hand, his face icy cold.

The Barbarian King bared his large teeth: "Little fellow, don’t hit a smiling face. I’m here to help you."

The Canglan Saint Master snorted: "We don’t need your help, get lost!"

The word "get lost" was so powerful that it shattered meteorites in space, leaving the weaker Grotto Void True Immortals dizzy.

The power of a seasoned Void Cultivator was fully displayed at this moment.

The Barbarian King scratched his ear and tisk-tisked: "Canglan Saint Master, we outsiders were born in the Canglan Realm. Entering and leaving it won’t catch the World Origin’s attention. At a time like this, if we offered a little help, you wouldn’t be able to guard against it."

He glanced at the Realm Gate, casually saying: "We’ve long heard about the Realm Gate’s appearance. Surely you can’t cover the sky with one hand? At such a time, you have no energy for a conflict with us, let alone a full-scale battle."

Upon hearing these words, not only did the Canglan Saint Master get angry, but the Archbishops also turned red with fury. These shameless bastards truly came to take advantage of the chaos.

While the Canglan Saint Master was furious, he still maintained his rationality, coldly asking: "Barbarian King, what do you want? State your conditions!"

They are smart, and so is the Barbarian King’s side.

In the face of the Earth Civilization’s invasion, if internal strife occurs now, it will only benefit the enemy. What good could come of it?

After all, only by preserving a complete Canglan Realm does it have any meaning to them.

The Barbarian King put away his nonchalant attitude, looking solemnly at the Canglan Saint Master and others: "Give them three choices. First, let us rule Canglan..."

Before he could finish, the Canglan Saint Master interrupted immediately: "Such wishful thinking, do not bring it up."

The Canglan Realm is the legacy of the Canglan True God. As the reincarnation of the Son of God, how could he hand over the Canglan Realm to these rebels?

The Barbarian King anticipated this reaction and said: "If that’s the case, then either crown me king and grant me one-third of the territory, so we would count as part of the Canglan Realm, jointly facing the Earth Civilization.

Or give us a batch of True God’s Relics; after obtaining them, we’ll turn around and leave."

These two choices made the Canglan Saint Master furrow his brow; it’s not that he couldn’t accept them but that he needed to weigh the pros and cons.

Giving the Barbarian King True God’s Relics is obviously out of the question. What if they demand again after getting the treasures?

Crowning him king and granting one-third of the Canglan Realm’s territory seemed too good a choice.

The Canglan Realm currently needs more of a protective force, not internal strife.

If the Barbarian King and his people chose to become enemies, the Canglan Realm would indeed be precarious.

If, amid this crisis, this force could be used to confront the Earth’s strong invaders, the Canglan Realm’s odds would improve by thirty percent.

Of course, he knew what decision to make.
