"Summon everyone to gather here."
Tsing Hui, who was in the Gray Tower, gave the order.
Immediately, many Legendary experts under the Lord of Scarlet Hell's bloodline rushed over in less than a year and gathered in the Gray Tower.
However, when Tsing Hui scanned the number of Legendary experts who had come to the Gray Tower, he realized that the number was much lower than he had imagined.
His gaze landed on Elder Eclipse, who had been in contact with him for a long time and had a high status and pinnacle Legendary-level combat strength. "The number of Legendary experts under the Scarlet Hell Progenitor's bloodline should be more than this, right? It seems that there are less than 150 Legendary powerhouses in front of me right now. I remember that there were nearly 400 Legendary powerhouses when the Eternal Shrine was destroyed. "
Elder Eclipse looked at Tsing Hui with a complicated expression when he heard his question, but he still said, "Recently … our Scarlet Hell bloodline and the Sacrificial Blood Shrine have spread a piece of news … As you have been busy with something in seclusion, we did not report this news to you."
"Oh? What news? "
"This news claims that you might not have awakened the bloodline of the Scarlet Hell Progenitor … Instead … Instead, you are a powerful lifeform from another dimension … Because of your powerful life essence, you have disguised yourself as the Scarlet Hell Progenitor's bloodline awakening, deceiving all of us. Strictly speaking, you should be an outsider, an enemy of everyone …"
Elder Eclipse spoke slowly. As he spoke, he constantly sized up Tsing Hui, as though waiting for his response.
In fact, he was not the only one. The other Legendary experts who had come were the same.
"Oh."
Tsing Hui responded indifferently. Under the gazes of these Legendary experts, his expression did not change much. "Regarding this, shouldn't you have guessed it long ago? When was it? When I returned from outside the Chaotic Universe, or when I pushed the Eternal Shrine into the Chaotic Void? However, although you guessed it, you chose to remain ignorant. Wasn't your goal to use my power to pave the way for the Lord of Scarlet Hell's bloodline? Now that the greatest enemy of the Lord of Scarlet Hell's lineage, the Eternal Shrine, has been taken care of under my leadership, can you openly question me about this? "
When Elder Eclipse heard Tsing Hui's undisguised words, his expression changed slightly.
There was a commotion among the other Legendary powerhouses as well, but it only lasted for a moment before it died down.
Clearly, as Tsing Hui had said, they had long suspected Tsing Hui's identity. However, they needed the help of Tsing Hui to fight against the Eternal Shrine and get the Lord of Scarlet Hell out of their current predicament. Even though they had doubts about Tsing Hui's identity, they still pretended not to know and followed Tsing Hui's orders to overthrow the Eternal Shrine's rule.
"What about now? You're bringing this up now because you think you can't use my power anymore? Don't forget, if the Lord of Scarlet Hell's bloodline wants to completely rule this Chaotic Universe, there's still the Shrine of Scarlet Blood as your enemy. "
Elder Eclipse looked at Tsing Hui and sighed. "The other Legendary powerhouses of the Scarlet Hell Progenitor's bloodline have actually secretly reached a consensus to divide this Chaotic Universe equally."
"Equally?"
"Yes, although we can still defeat the Shrine of Scarlet Blood with your power, when the time comes, there won't be many Legendary powerhouses left in our bloodline. The final outcome will only be a lose-lose situation. If an otherworldly guest like An Yi intervenes in the situation of our Chaotic Universe, even the combined forces of the entire Chaotic Universe might not be able to resist. It's because of this that we chose to rule this Chaotic Universe together. On one hand, we can reduce our losses, and on the other hand, we can preserve our strength so that when the Chaotic Universe encounters a great enemy in the future, we won't lack the strength to expel them."
"Is that so?"
Tsing Hui's expression remained unchanged.
Inwardly, however, he sneered.
Otherworldly guests like him were completely coincidental. In the vast Void of Chaos, only true Chaos lifeforms or Fortune lifeforms were capable of crossing from one Chaotic Universe to another. Even the most supreme of experts who had Fortune artifacts protecting them were unable to travel between Chaotic Universes. In other words, if a faction really did come to attack their Chaotic Universe, there was only one explanation …
A powerful Fortune lifeform or Chaos lifeform was far away from their Chaotic Universe …
Not far away.
And once the lifeforms of creation or Chaos arrived, what use would it be even if they had ten times the number of Legendary champions on their side, let alone trying their best to preserve their vitality?
In the face of a Fortune lifeform, even the most powerful Legendary powerhouses were nothing more than ants.
"Then what about you? You actually responded to my summons and came to the Gloomy Tower. What are your thoughts?"
Tsing Hui asked.
"We …"
Elder Eclipse looked at Tsing Hui, as though he had come to a decision. "Although in the short term, it is most reasonable for us to choose to share half of the Chaos with the Blood Shrine like the other Legends, but … even though the master of this Chaosverse, Lord Searing Blood, is suspected to have perished while attacking that unknown Chaosverse, and there has been no news of him for a very long time … no one can guarantee that Lord Searing Blood won't return one day. And once Lord Searing Blood returns, all the rebels who participated in the attack on the Eternal Temple will definitely face his wrath. When that happens, only death will await all of us … and only by relying on you, Lord An Yi, will we have any hope of survival."
"Oh?"
Tsing Hui looked at Elder Eclipse. "Is this what you truly think? You have to know that … as these Legendary powerhouses gain strength that matches their realms, I won't be much stronger than the original supreme Legends. Do you trust me that much? "
Elder Eclipse exchanged looks with Elder Ying Zhen, Xue Chuan, and company. He said with a smile, "We originate from the Crimson Hell Primogenitor's lineage. Although we didn't inherit much strength, our horizons and knowledge are still better than ordinary people. According to what we know, traveling through the Chaos Void from one Chaosverse to another is an extremely difficult task for any cultivator who isn't a Fortune lifeform or a Chaos lifeform. Lord An Yi is able to do what most top cultivators can't. I believe that the means you possess are definitely not as simple as what we see now. Therefore, we believe that Lord An Yi can protect us and lead us …"
With that said, the pinnacle Legends looked at Tsing Hui with sparkling eyes, as though they were waiting for his answer.
"Is that so …"
Tsing Hui's expression was indifferent. "Since I have hidden means that no one knows of, allowing me to move freely without you, why should I protect you?"
Not only did his words not incur their disgust, they even rejoiced over their choice.
"We understand. Without Crimson Hell Primogenitor's connection, Lord An Yi indeed has no reason to help or protect us. However, according to our understanding over the years, Lord An Yi seems to be rather interested in the special items left behind by the Primogenitor … And these special items … apart from the crystal ball-like treasure, there's another item …"
As he spoke, Elder Eclipse once again presented an item that resembled an oil lamp to him.
"This is …"
Upon sensing the Chaos aura from the oil lamp, one that was even more exquisite and profound than the Chaos aura, Tsing Hui immediately stood up.
As for Elder Eclipse, he tactfully went forward and handed the item to Tsing Hui.
Tsing Hui held the magical lamp in his hand and studied it slightly. However, he was unable to see through its profundity in a short period of time. However, with Elder Eclipse and company waiting in anticipation for his response, it wasn't appropriate for him to begin studying it. Instead, he put away the lamp and said, "Very good. I'm very satisfied with this item. Apart from this strange item, is there anything else?"
"Of course. However, compared to this item and the treasure from before, those items are slightly inferior."
"I need all of them."
"Yes, I'll get someone to bring all of them over."
"Very good."
Tsing Hui nodded. At the same time, he said to Elder Eclipse with deep meaning, "I'll be accepting the items you have delivered. As for your attitude, I'm very satisfied. You will feel that your choice is wise and fortunate."
Upon hearing that Tsing Hui seemed to have left behind a powerful trump card, Elder Eclipse and company heaved a sigh of relief. They hurriedly said, "It's our honor to be able to help Lord An Yi."
"Alright, gather your forces and prepare to take over the supreme Divinity," said Ye Futian.
"Receive the Supreme Divine World?"
Elder Eclipse was slightly taken aback as he failed to react.
"Exactly what I said. I plan on bestowing the Supreme Divine World to you as a reward for contributing these strange items to me."
"This …"
Elder Eclipse hesitated when he heard Qing Xu's words. Only then did he say, "Although we currently occupy around a tenth of the territory of the supreme god world, thirty percent of the remaining territory has been taken over by the Legends who have betrayed Lord An Yi. The other sixty percent has ended up in the hands of the remaining organisations like the Sacrificial Blood Divine Hall and the Eternal Divine Hall. Even if we use the lord's name to order them to retreat and hand over their territory to us, they might not be willing …"
"Since I'm getting you to receive those territories, I naturally have a way to make them submit. All you need to do is make some preparations and send someone to receive them when the time comes."
Tsing Hui said nonchalantly before turning around and heading for the upper levels of the Gray Tower.
Elder Eclipse was about to ask something when Elder Ying Zhen reached out his hand to stop him. He shook his head and said, "Let's withdraw for now. Gather our forces and prepare to receive those territories. After that, all we need to do is wait for the situation to change."
