Li Yao's bellows sounded like rumbling thunder, leaving echoes that set off the frozen silence of the room.
More and more civilians and soldiers woke up and crowded into the place to see the legendary 'Vulture Li Yao'.
But they did not expect to hear 'their' names from Vulture Li Yao's mouth. For a moment, they were stunned, not knowing what to do.
"The Federation is not perfect. It is even entirely different from what it used to be. Even I did not foresee that such drastic changes, both good and bad, would take place in only a hundred years. Jin Xinyue today is not the Jin Xinyue a hundred years ago, and the Federation today is not the Federation a hundred years ago. Even the 'dominator of three Sectors' today, Vulture Li Yao, is not the real Li Yao a hundred years ago!"
Li Yao clenched his fists and waved them like a baton, stirring up everybody's emotions. "Not just you, even I sometimes feel slightly disappointed and hesitant, not knowing what will happen to me and the Federation in the unpredictable, hazy future.
"However, just now, when all the people of the Federation were singing aloud, burning their souls, and concentrating all their spirit and strength to blow up the extraterrestrial devils' treasures, I suddenly realized something.
"No matter how utterly deformed the federation has been, some of the things that are hidden in the deepest part of it remain unchanged and will never change!
"Therefore, at that second, I said to myself, 'F * ck it. No matter what the Federation becomes, and no matter whether or not I am the person that everybody thinks I am, I will fight until the end!' I am not fighting for Jin Xinyue, not for the title of 'dominator of three Sectors', not even for the Xing Yao Federation or the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag, but for the people living under the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag!
"Also, I know that when I protect them, they protect me, and when I look forward to them, they look forward to me, too. I will not abandon them, and they will never abandon me!
"This is the meaning of my battle!"
As Li Yao roared at the top of his voice, the frozen atmosphere was broken.
Countless people recalled the passionate and exhilarating scene in the depths of the Spirit Realm. That was perhaps the most exciting five minutes of their lives.
That's right, no matter how many problems there were, their home was here, and their family was behind them. They protected and looked forward to each other, supported and trusted each other!
No matter how vast and boundless the universe was, was there a better reason to fight with all their might than this?
The twelve experts of the Ancient Sages Sector were furious. Their flames of spiritual energy were erupting like volcanoes. They had been the most dazzling objects in the space station, like twelve mountains that rose into the clouds.
However, without them knowing it, the auras of the thousands of ordinary people and low-level Cultivators congregated into a rolling ocean of clouds. Although they could not suppress the 'mountains' yet, they had completely surrounded them.
Everyone was staring at the eleven Ancient Sages with gleaming eyes. Their eyes contained a power that the Ancient Sages had never seen before.
They were at a loss of what to do.
In the Ancient Sages Sector, the low-level Cultivators would never have had the courage to look at the Yuanying and the experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage in such a way.
When the Yuanying was infuriated, the land within a hundred square kilometers would be dyed red. The low-level Cultivators could barely wait to kneel on the ground and shudder, not to mention the ordinary people who were as insignificant as ants.
"What exactly is going on …"
Although the thousands of ordinary people could not pose any real threat, the flames of spiritual energy of the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector were still shaking softly. The memory pieces of the people of the Federation that spluttered out from the collapse of the Spiriters' Realm slowly sank into their souls and became an inseparable part of their lives.
"Do you see everybody's eyes? Do you feel the strength of the people of the Federation?"
Facing Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, Li Yao stepped forward heavily and opened his arms. "Think about the people of the Ancient Sages Sector. The Cultivators are always scheming against each other, and the ordinary people are emaciated, ignorant, and submissive! The entire world is a mess from top to bottom. There is not the slightest brightness or hope!
"There is a question that has been bothering me for a long time. I've been meaning to ask you for a long time. Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, Han Baling, Zhu Zongyou, Qi Zhongdao, Yan Liren, Qi Changsheng, Wang Xi, Ba Xiaoyu, Master Bitter Cicada, Wan Mingzhu, the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators such as yourself are either emperors or renowned experts in the world of the Ancient Sages Sector. On the surface, your position and power are at the peak of the world and cannot be higher!
"However, when you see the deceitful lackeys, the disciples who each have their own plans, and the disciples who disobey you secretly, the people who are as thin and trembling as sticks, and the soldiers who are as brutal as wolves but as cowardly as dogs, do you really feel that it is what the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators should do to govern such a group of people? Do you really think that the hollow praises and the fearful eyes give you a sense of accomplishment? Are you really going to be satisfied and happy just like that, hiding deep inside the dark nebula like a tortoise and stomping on the people whom you consider to be 'ants' before the apocalypse arrives? "
The series of questions made the eleven experts from the Ancient Sages Sector even more furious.
However, however furious they were, they could not compare to the spirit and brilliance of the thousands of people around them!
"Look at the people around you. They fought side by side with you in the Spiriters' Realm just now. To some extent, they even saved each other with the high and mighty Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators like you! Had it not been for their courage and determination, you would've been screwed a long time ago! "
Li Yao had completely decided to risk it. He roared, "Look at every one of them carefully. Look at their eyes, nose, and mouth. Every one of them is glowing! Do you not want the people of the Ancient Sages Sector to be real people like them one day? Even if you are truly emperors, ruling over a bunch of puppets, wolves, and ants is not a great achievement worth bragging about!
"Come on. Don't let down the strength of the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators. The heavens did not ask you to train yourself to this day so that you could hide in the dark nebula and bully the weak! You can do it. You can really ignite yourselves and the Ancient Sages Sector. You can tear apart the entire dark nebula so that the Ancient Sages Sector and the Ancient Sages Sector will emit the most brilliant light in the three thousand Sectors and the universe in the next ten thousand years! "
Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot, and his veins were bulging. Powerful airwaves were spurting out of every pore on his body, which melded with the aura of the thousands of people of the Federation like an overwhelming tide.
Even the 'mountains' that the eleven experts of the Ancient Sages Sector gathered together were dwarfed by the 'tide'.
Li Yao seemed to be holding an invisible longsword that was deeply hidden in his heart. He walked toward the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector one step after another.
Even 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren swallowed hard, unable to find a way to dodge the attack.
"Lord Wang was right just now. With everything coming to this point, explanations are useless!"
Li Yao's eyes pierced into the eyes of the eleven experts of the Ancient Sages Sector simultaneously like lightning. Holding the 'invisible sword' in his right hand, he slowly extended two fingers with his left hand. "I don't want to waste any more time. I'll give you two choices right now.
"Firstly, give the Xing Yao Federation, the Ancient Sages Sector, and yourselves a chance. Let's work together and do something great that nobody in the entire universe has ever done before!
"I swear in the name of 'Vulture Li Yao' that whoever fights side by side with me today will be my brother for life. From today on, no matter what difficulties you and the Ancient Sages Sector run into, the Xing Yao Federation and I will help you solve them with the fury of the entire universe, just like how you helped us today!
"Secondly, if you are unwilling, it doesn't matter. The Xing Yao Federation will never beg for any help. You are a guest, and you are our honorable guests in the Federation. Then, please move your butts aside, honorable guests. Don't get in the way of us saving the world!"
Li Yao's roar made the thousands of soldiers and civilians seethe.
There was no telling who said it first, but the thunderous roars soon congregated into a tsunami that could overturn the universe.
"Long live the Federation!"
"Long live the Federation!"
"Let's fight and march forward, Federation!"
Countless people were surging toward them in a hurry, not scared of being burned by the flames of spiritual energy of the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators at all. Thousands of hands extended to Li Yao, trying to raise him high and turn him into the sharpest saber aura on the shining saber!
The eleven experts of the Ancient Sages Sector stared at Li Yao in a daze. Looking at the zealous crowd around them, they had mixed feelings. There was no telling whether they were angry or … jealous.
Yes, they were somewhat jealous of Li Yao.
They knew very well that no matter how high their Cultivation was, even if they were in the Divinity Transformation Stage, the Void Refinement Stage, or some other higher level, they would never be able to enjoy the burning, passionate, and real eyes that Li Yao was soaking in right now in the Ancient Sages Sector.
The heartfelt cheers belonged to Li Yao. The support at the cost of their lives belonged to Li Yao, too. Behind Li Yao was the entire Federation. Behind them … even the Ancient Sages Sector was hidden deep inside the dark nebula and had long been out of sight.
"Do you see it, fellow Cultivators from the Ancient Sages Sector who have come from afar?"
The eyes of thousands of people seemed to have condensed into a dazzling armor around Li Yao, making him look invincible. He opened his arms to the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector again, but his eyes were tougher and clearer than ever. "The Xing Yao Federation needs your help. I sincerely invite you to join us, but we don't need you!
