Chapter 2700: We Refuse to Submit to Him
After the Nine-headed Demon Yuan was defeated, the voice of the Human Emperor sounded once again: "Continue the challenge!"
Su Yang naturally did not hesitate and bypassed the Eternal Divine Emperor, directly challenging the three people from the Ancient.
The three from the Ancient were also puzzled, but since Su Yang initiated the challenge, they couldn’t avoid it.
Soon, these three also fought against Su Yang, and the result was very clear: all three, like the Immortal Venerable and the Nine-headed Demon Yuan, suffered a crushing defeat.
The audience was stunned, unable to comprehend the situation.
This junior from a later era, Su Yang, had just consecutively defeated five strong opponents? What exactly was going on?
The Eternal Divine Emperor watched from the side with great joy and, seeing Su Yang’s five consecutive victories, loudly exclaimed: "Su Alliance Leader is truly superior in skills, I am deeply impressed. For this round, I won’t fight, I admit defeat willingly!"
Su Yang nodded at the Eternal Divine Emperor, knowing that the Eternal Divine Emperor was giving him a way forward, to make him the leader of the Human Clan.
The audience erupted once again. If even the Eternal Divine Emperor conceded, then doesn’t that mean Su Yang is the ultimate winner and will become the leader of the Human Clan?
Everyone looked at the five people defeated by Su Yang; they were puzzled about what had truly happened.
These five people all hung their heads in silence. Over time, they gradually realized that there must be a master suppressing their power. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.
However, they couldn’t speak about this matter. It must have been the strongest from the Primordial Ancient who suppressed them. Would they dare to tear their faces with these strongest beings?
"Su Alliance Leader has achieved a great victory!" proclaimed the Eternal Divine Emperor in a clear voice: "Hence, Su Alliance Leader will become the new leader of the Human Clan. Does anyone have any objections?"
There was whispering among the crowd below, with many looking at the Immortal Venerable and the others. These five had faces ashen blue, yet remained silent, as if resigning to fate.
The Eternal Divine Emperor waited for a moment, seeing no one speak up, he then declared loudly: "Since no one opposes, let this matter be settled thus. Su Alliance Leader shall become the new Alliance Leader of our Human Race Alliance, overseeing all matters, great and small, of the Human Clan!"
The Immortal Venerable and the others exchanged glances, all with discontent on their faces.
Secretly, the Nine-headed Demon Yuan cast a glance at someone on their side, who understood instantly, stood up, and declared loudly: "I feel that Su Alliance Leader is simply too young and lacks experience in battling with the strong ones among the Guardian God. To let him lead the Human Clan might be a bit unsuitable!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many immediately nodded along. These people were confidants of the Immortal Venerable, the Nine-headed Demon Yuan, and naturally didn’t want Su Yang to control the Human Clan.
"What kind of experience is needed to battle with the Guardian God?" the Eternal Divine Emperor coldly retorted: "Although Su Alliance Leader doesn’t have this experience, he has reshaped reincarnation, reclaimed the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and entered and exited the Immortal Palace multiple times. Do these matters not prove Su Alliance Leader’s capabilities?"
"Capability is one thing, but is it really suitable for him to lead the Human Clan?" another person said: "After all, he is so young, and a junior from later times, how can he convince the masses? If the Primordial Heaven Warriors knew we chose such a greenhorn to lead them, do you think they would approve?"
"What do you mean?" the Eternal Divine Emperor was furious: "It was agreed earlier that the victory would be based on strength. Since Su Alliance Leader won a sweeping victory, we should adhere to our previous agreement and submit unconditionally to Su Alliance Leader!"
"Of course we have to submit, but the question is, will others obey?" another person said: "We must also consider the collective will, right? If the leader were chosen from the Ancient or Primordial, anyone with enough strength would command respect. But selecting one from this era might make the Primordial Heaven Warriors feel unbalanced!"
"Exactly, how can such a greenhorn command respect?"
"We are all Heavenly Warriors, all reputable figures, letting such a person lead us would be a slap in our faces!"
"I do not accept him!"
"Nor do I, he is not qualified to govern the Human Clan!"
The crowd began to clamor. Some were confidants of those five, while others merely believed that Su Yang lacked the qualification to lead them. After all, they were legendary deities, how could they accept a young man from a later era leading them?
The Eternal Divine Emperor frowned deeply, as things progressed to this point, he found it hard to control the situation as well.
Su Yang appeared troubled; he didn’t expect these Heavenly Warriors to renege. Despite winning, it seemed not to count? However, he really couldn’t control this situation as he was, after all, a junior!
Amidst the ongoing uproar, a sudden thunderous crack resounded from above. Following that, a powerful force overwhelmed the scene, silencing the previously noisy crowd, forcing them to desperately resist.
Su Yang felt nothing; this force did not target him, only those expressing dissatisfaction with him.
The entire audience turned pale at the overwhelming power, realizing just how formidable the newcomer was, undoubtedly a former strongest being!
"Who is it?" shouted the Nine-headed Demon Yuan through gritted teeth.
"Miscreant, how dare you speak to this Palace in such a manner, reveal your true form immediately!" a crisp voice echoed from outside.
Hearing this voice, the Nine-headed Demon Yuan reacted as though facing a natural enemy, trembling uncontrollably.
Regardless of the surrounding eyes, he lay on the ground, his body shaking, and under the stares of the crowd, he transformed into a crimson Eagle Yuan Beast, with nine large heads, appearing ferocious yet still trembling as if terrified.
The people from the Ancient were not much surprised by this, as they clearly knew the Nine-headed Demon Yuan’s identity. However, more attention was focused on the identity of the person outside, causing everyone to gaze with horror.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a celestial maiden descended from the sky, slowly alighting beside Su Yang.
"Qi’er!" Su Yang exclaimed in delight, not expecting Qi’er to appear at this moment.
The people from the Ancient were equally shocked at the sight of Qi’er, with many bowing deeply, trembling as they said: "Greetings, Palace Master!"
Although the Primordial people did not know Qi’er’s identity, from the air of authority, they could already sense that Qi’er’s identity was by no means simple.
Qi’er, ignoring these people, took hold of Su Yang’s arm, smiling as she said: "Brother Su, I hope I’ve not arrived too late? As soon as I got the news, I left seclusion immediately. How’s it going with you? These miscreants haven’t given you any trouble, have they?"
