Afterwards, Jianchen seemed to have gone mad. He became completely submerged in cultivation, using this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase his strength as much as possible. He did not pay any attention to the various matters that had occurred after the battle on the Tian Yuan Continent. After telling everyone that he was going into seclusion through a simple message, he completely sealed himself off in the blood-red cloud.
Only after Jianchen had gone into seclusion did the experts of the two worlds begin to disperse. The first to leave were the people from the four races. Some of the more heavily injured people left as soon as possible, returning to their own clans to heal. There were also many cultivators who had lost their loved ones who remained. They stared at the battlefield in sorrow as they struggled to calm down. They refused to leave even after a very long time.
In the blink of an eye, almost half of the people gathered on the battlefield had left. They all belonged to the four races of this world. The cultivators from the World of Forsaken Saints all remained where they were. None of them dared to leave without the Spiritking's orders.
The Spiritking was the absolute ruler of the World of Forsaken Saints. If the World of Forsaken Saints was an empire, the Spiritking would be the emperor of the empire, unlike the four races of the Tian Yuan Continent. Although each race possessed Origin realm experts, they did not place too many restrictions on their clansmen. They were relatively more free.
"I never thought that Jianchen would choose to enter seclusion at a time like this. Are you really cultivating? Or are you running away from something? "The Spiritking stared at the blood-red cloud in outer space as he murmured emotionlessly.
"Whatever. Since you want to enter seclusion, I'll wait until you're done. I just happen to need some time to heal the wounds of my soul," thought the Spiritking before looking away.
He looked at the cultivators from the World of Forsaken Saints who had yet to leave and said, "All of you, return. The protectors and elders remain on the Tian Yuan Continent to recover. Once you've recovered, cooperate with the Tian Yuan Continent to clean up the battlefield."
The cultivators from the World of Forsaken Saints nodded in unison. Afterward, all the Sainthood experts returned to the World of Forsaken Saints through Space Gates. All the protectors and elders remained behind. They all understood that the Spiritking wanted them to remain because he was preparing to set foot on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Although the greatest contributor was Jianchen, their World of Forsaken Saints had contributed greatly as well. It could even be said that if it were not for the cultivators from the World of Forsaken Saints who were willing to sacrifice their lives, they would still have been defeated in the end even with Jianchen's help. Their World of Forsaken Saints had paid such a heavy price to deal with the crisis of the world. If the Tian Yuan Continent did not provide them with satisfactory compensation, they would never give up.
"Count up all the clansmen who have died after burning their vital energies. Place their memorial tablets in the Sacred Spirit Hall. Their clans and relatives will be protected by the Sacred Spirit Hall," ordered the Spiritking.
"Yes, Spiritking," the protectors and elders from the World of Forsaken Saints replied.
"Our Tian Yuan Continent wants a list of their names as well. We admire their great contributions to stopping the crisis of the world. We want their names and heroic deeds to be passed down. They deserve all of our respect," Shangguan Mu 'er slowly flew over from afar and said sternly. With her strength at mid Reciprocity, she was the undisputed second sovereign of the human race. Her every word and action could obviously influence the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent. She could make some decisions for certain matters.
The Spiritking looked at Shangguan Mu 'er, and an undetectable gleam of light flashed through his eyes. After a moment of thought, he said, "You're also a human of the Tian Yuan Continent, and you're a Reciprocity expert who's only weaker than Jianchen. You can represent the Tian Yuan Continent. Since Jianchen isn't here right now, why don't you represent this world and come to an agreement with our World of Forsaken Saints?"
Shangguan Mu 'er's heart skipped a beat. Although she had no idea what the agreement would entail, or even if it existed at all, she understood that the Spiritking wanted to use the fact that their World of Forsaken Saints had contributed greatly to stopping the crisis of the world to ask for a piece of land from the Tian Yuan Continent so that the World of Forsaken Saints could settle down. Due to the harsh environment of the World of Forsaken Saints, countless people would die to natural disasters every year. It was not suitable for weak cultivators to live in, while the natural environment of the Tian Yuan Continent was like heaven to the weak cultivators of the World of Forsaken Saints. As a result, not only did the World of Forsaken Saints need to pass through the Tian Yuan Continent to reach the Saints' World, it was also to find a place for the weak cultivators of the Forsaken Saints to settle down.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the Spiritking. I may be a human of the Tian Yuan Continent, but I don't live on the Tian Yuan Continent. I've always stayed on Three Saint Island. This is related to the agreement between the Tian Yuan Continent and your World of Forsaken Saints, so how can I make the decision as a foreigner? Let's wait for the human sovereign, Jianchen, to make the decision," said Shangguan Mu 'er.
The Spiritking frowned slightly. He glanced at the huge, blood-red cloud in outer space deeply and said emotionlessly, "If that's the case, I'll wait for Jianchen to emerge. Xiong Zhong."
"Present!" Xiong Zhong immediately bowed to the Spiritking from nearby. He was extremely polite.
"Once you've recovered, discuss with the representatives of the Tian Yuan Continent about the matter of territory. Draw up a map first, and Jianchen and I will make the final decision," the Spiritking said emotionlessly. His voice was filled with an unquestionable dominance.
"Yes, Spiritking," Xiong Zhong replied politely.
With that, the Spiritking no longer remained. With a flash, he turned into a streak of light and left. However, he did not return to the World of Forsaken Saints immediately. Instead, he paid a visit to the territory of the elves on the Wasteland Continent to personally thank Olidona, who had transformed into the Elven Godtree. Only then did he return to the World of Forsaken Saints through a spatial tunnel to heal his soul.
He had no idea whether he and Jianchen would engage in a battle over territory once Jianchen emerged. If they really did fight, it would be very difficult for him to be Jianchen's opponent with his injured soul. As a result, he needed to return to his peak condition before Jianchen emerged.
This was because he would not back down when it came to territory, even if he and Jianchen had once come from the same world.
The expressions of Yang Lie, Feng Xiaotian, Guihai Yidao, and the other human sovereigns became rather ugly when they saw the Spiritking leave all the Origin realm elders and protectors on the Tian Yuan Continent. They all arrived beside Shangguan Mu 'er, hoping that she would remain on the Tian Yuan Continent. After all, Jianchen was not present right now. They felt extremely pressured when facing so many Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints.
On the other side, the expressions of the Origin realm elders and protectors from the World of Forsaken Saints changed slightly when they saw how Yang Lie and the others wished for Shangguan Mu 'er to remain on the Tian Yuan Continent. All of their gazes toward Shangguan Mu' er were filled with deep fear.
"Don't worry. I will pay attention to the Tian Yuan Continent at all times from Three Saint Island. If there's a need, I will hurry over immediately." Shangguan Mu 'er tactfully declined their requests before looking at the crowd. Her gaze landed on Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, and Shangguan Aojian. When she saw Shangguan Aojian, a sliver of gentleness finally appeared in her cold eyes. She said, "Xiao Bao, Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, let's return to the island."
Xiao Bao, Xiao Qian, and Xiao Yue had all taken part in the battle. They were currently filled with weakness and exhaustion. The three of them immediately flew out of the crowd when they heard Shangguan Mu 'er's words. Under the envious gazes of many people, they returned to Three Saint Island with Shangguan Mu' er.
At the same time, a cold gaze landed on Shangguan Aojian's back from the crowd. There was some disdain in that gaze.
It was a young man with an extraordinary bearing. His face was filled with undisguised pride. Even though he also seemed rather weak, he was unable to hide the noble bearing of someone from a large clan. The young man was the young master of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Xu.
Over twenty years had passed, but Changyang Xu had not changed at all compared to twenty years ago. Both his appearance and bearing were the same as before. The only thing that had changed was his strength. He was no longer a Great Saint Master from twenty years ago. He was a Saint Ruler who had reached Sainthood.
Of course, he had only become a Saint Ruler after consuming countless precious heavenly resources and various resources from Changyang Prefecture. As the young master of Changyang Prefecture, coupled with the fact that he was loved by Changyang Ba, who held the greatest authority in Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Xu was able to use all the resources in Changyang Prefecture fearlessly. He also received personal guidance from more than one Holy Emperor, which was why he was able to become a Saint Ruler at such a young age.
He was different from Shangguan Aojian. Shangguan Aojian kept a low profile and never acted ostentatiously. Although there had been rumors about the young master of Three Saint Island on the Tian Yuan Continent in recent years, the rumors gradually vanished as Shangguan Aojian kept a low profile. On the other hand, Changyang Xu's status immediately skyrocketed after he became the young master of Changyang Prefecture due to his glorious clan and terrifying background. He received the attention of countless people on the continent. Coupled with his rapid cultivation talent, rumors gradually spread that the young master of Changyang Prefecture would be able to catch up to Jianchen in the future.
This was because Changyang Xu had not used a Violet Cloud Peach to become a Saint Ruler.
Changyang Xu stared at Shangguan Aojian's back as he clenched his fists. He thought, "Young master of Three Saint Island, I'll show you my power before long. Aren't you just a step ahead of me because you used the Violet Cloud Peach you obtained from my uncle? Now that my uncle has returned, I'll have a Violet Cloud Peach very soon as well, and it'll be of the best quality. Once I consume it, I'll personally go to Three Saint Island to challenge you and crush you beneath my feet. I'll make you understand that the reason why I lost to you several dozen times over the years was because I didn't have a Violet Cloud Peach. "
