The situation was a little awkward, and everyone gradually fell silent.
Whether it was the Temple Masters or the hundreds of surviving guards, they were all in low spirits, full of disappointment and annoyance.
Everyone came here full of hope, but after paying such a high price, they had to return empty-handed.
Everyone was disappointed and suspicious of the Shura God Emperor.
Even if he could still become the Sixth Temple Master after returning to the Shang Qing Realm, his prestige would be completely gone.
At least, the people of the Shang Qing Temple would not easily accept him.
Under such circumstances, someone had to find a way to open up the situation and ease the awkwardness.
Ji Tianxing was calm and even wanted to laugh.
The Shura God Emperor could not ignite the Eternal Fire, which he had long expected and was sure of.
But he was more looking forward to the Temple Masters and the Shura God Emperor breaking off and even becoming enemies.
Only then would the two sides part ways, and he would have a chance to seek revenge on the Shura God Emperor.
At this time, the Shura God Emperor saw that the Lord Temple Master was silent for a long time, so he took the initiative to say, "Lord Temple Master, the facts are very clear, we don't have to waste time here.
In my opinion, we should leave here first and return to the Shang Qing Realm to recuperate.
When I reach the upper level of the God Emperor, I will come back to the Evernight Sea to ignite the Eternal Fire and open the door to the Heavenly Dao. "
In fact, the Shura God Emperor himself knew that he was not the Chosen One at all.
The reason why he lied was to make the Shang Qing Temple believe him and then ally with him.
In the three years before, he wandered on the Star of Origin and encountered many dangers.
The Unknown Land was occupied by the endless Beast Clan, and he could not fight with the Beast Clan to snatch a territory to live in.
Other than the Unknown Land, the place with more abundant resources was the territory of the Shang Qing Temple.
He was weak and had almost no foothold.
However, with the backing of the Shang Qing Temple and the Shang Qing Mystery Realm as a place to settle down, he would be able to obtain an endless supply of cultivation resources.
For many years, he could concentrate on improving his strength without taking any risks.
The Lord Temple Master had decided to appoint him as the Sixth Temple Master, which proved that his plan was half successful.
Even though the Shangqing Temple's trust in him had weakened.
However, he knew very well that igniting the Eternal Fire and opening the door of the Heavenly Way were the greatest goals and dreams of the Shang Qing Temple.
For this goal, the Shang Qing Temple had planned for thirty thousand years and sacrificed many elders and countless elite Divine Kings.
Therefore, even if there was a small episode now, Shang Qing Temple would temporarily tolerate it for the sake of the long-term plan.
The Shura God Emperor was ninety percent sure that the Palace Masters would not fall out with him because of this. They would still take him back to the Shang Qing Palace and let him continue to be the Sixth Palace Master.
Moreover, if the Shang Qing Temple wanted to open the Gate of Heavenly Dao as soon as possible, they had to do everything they could to help him improve his strength and reach the upper realm of God Emperor as soon as possible.
As expected.
The Great Hall Master hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"Sixth Hallmaster, although you're very sure that you'll be able to ignite the Eternal Fire once you reach the upper level of God Emperor, I'm willing to believe you.
However, we've gone through so much trouble, expended so much effort, lost so many elite Godkings, and finally made it here.
You've tried it so casually a few times, and you're going to make everyone return without success.
Even if I can understand you, how are you going to explain it to more than two thousand people?
How are you going to let the hundreds of people who have died rest in peace? "
The Shura God Emperor guessed that the Great Hall Master would not give up so easily, so he asked calmly, "Then the Great Hall Master means …"
The Great Hall Master looked at the majestic Gate of Heavenly Dao and said expressionlessly, "Even if you can't ignite the Eternal Fire now, you should try to open the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
After all, you're the Chosen One. Whether you succeed or not, the Gate of Heavenly Dao should have some reaction. "
"This …" The Shura God Emperor was suddenly in a dilemma and hesitated.
The Great Hall Master's meaning was clear. No matter what, he had to force him to open the Gate of Heavenly Dao. Even if he was injured or suffered a backlash, he had to test it.
The Great Hall Master was so aggressive and imposing.
If it had been anyone else, the Shura God Emperor would have refused and become angry.
But the situation was stronger than the person, and he had no choice but to bow under the eaves. The Shura God Emperor could only suppress his anger and say calmly, "Great Hall Master, although I know that with my current strength, I can't open the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
If I force it open, it will lead to unpredictable consequences.
But since you've given the order, how can I refuse even if you want me to die? "
On the surface, it sounded like the Shura God Emperor was expressing his respect and obedience to the Great Hall Master.
But in reality, everyone could hear the grievance and dissatisfaction in his words.
Simply put, the Great Hall Master was forcing him to do something against his will, forcing him to die.
If the Great Hall Master cared about dignity and grace, perhaps he would have withdrawn the order and not forced the Shura God Emperor to try.
But the Great Hall Master looked at the Gate of Heavenly Dao expressionlessly and ignored the Shura God Emperor's words.
His attitude was firm. No matter what, he would force the Shura God Emperor to try, regardless of whether he died or was injured.
The other three Great Hall Masters remained silent at the Great Hall Master's request, but in reality, they agreed. No one pleaded for the Shura God Emperor.
The Shura God Emperor was helpless. After some hesitation, he could only grit his teeth and walk toward the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
He came to a stop a hundred feet away from the dark golden Gate of Heavenly Dao, then slowly raised his palms and pushed at the golden gate with ninety percent of his strength.
Everyone understood that apart from those chosen by the heavens, it was impossible for anyone else to resonate and sense the Heavenly Dao.
The consequences of tampering with the Gate of Heavenly Dao were severe!
The Great Hall Master had forced the Shura God Emperor to do this because he wanted to test him.
First, he wanted to see if he was truly the Chosen One. Second, he wanted to see if he was loyal.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, the Shura God Emperor unleashed his majestic divine power and slammed into the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
Instantly, the Gate of Heavenly Dao erupted with a dazzling golden light and a deafening boom that echoed for a hundred thousand miles.
Under everyone's gaze, the majestic Gate of Heavenly Dao did not budge.
As for the Divine Power that Emperor God Xiu Luo had released, it was reflected back by the Gate of Heaven Dao twice as much.
Moreover, the rebounding divine power was mixed with the supreme divine might of the heavens.
This caused the heaven and earth within a hundred thousand miles to be filled with the supreme divine might that made one's heart palpitate.
Not only did the Chaos Sea, which was as calm as a mirror, surge with towering waves, but even the Chaos Mist high in the sky was stirred up into a giant vortex.
This was the true wrath of the heavens. It was truly destructive.
The terrifying power sent the Shura God Emperor flying back a thousand miles and crashing into the Chaos Sea.
While he was still in midair, blood was gushing out of his seven orifices and his divine body was covered in cracks.
