It was such a simple sentence, but it made everyone silent in their hearts.
That's right. What Fenghao said was correct. Now, it was their turn to consider whether they should stay or leave. However, it was undoubtedly a difficult decision for them to make. Back then, they had chosen to enter the True Martial Continent because they didn't want to participate in the dispute back then. Now, they had to step onto that land once again.
At this time, the Grandmist Sovereign stepped out and a majestic aura filled the air. All the experts in the divine city were shocked. They were extremely familiar with the person standing in front of them. It was the Grandmist Divine Physique from before. However, they had never expected that the person standing in front of them had already become a Sovereign Realm expert.
Many experts looked over in shock and disbelief. There were even some Divine Masters who fell into deep thought. They thought about how the Primordial Divine Physique was said to have received the inheritance of the Primordial Sovereign.
"There's no need to guess. I am the Grandmist Sovereign."
A faint voice resounded. Everyone was stunned. Only a few people revealed a look of realization. As expected, it was the Grandmist Sovereign.
"There's no need to doubt my identity. I will explain it to everyone later. Now, I want to discuss whether you should stay or leave." The Grandmist Sovereign knew that he had to stand out at this moment. He was the one who brought this group of people from Penglai World to this place.
"Back then, I brought all of you to the True Martial Continent in order to avoid the Heavenly Dao. I believe that all of you should be aware that after experiencing the calamity back then, you should already understand certain things. Therefore, I will not elaborate further." The Grandmist Sovereign smiled faintly and said, "Originally, I thought that I could avoid the Heavenly Dao. I even turned myself around. For hundreds of thousands of years, I have never appeared. If I didn't go to the Immortal Graveyard, I wouldn't have awakened until now."
Hearing the Grandmist Sovereign's words, everyone came to a realization. It turned out that the Grandmist Sovereign didn't die. He chose another method to survive and reincarnate.
"In the past, I thought that I could hide from the Heavenly Dao and avoid everything. But in the end, I realized that no matter how I tried, I couldn't avoid the Heavenly Dao's schemes. This is fate." Grandmist Sovereign's voice was low and deep. His words revealed the reason why he had brought everyone to the True Martial Continent in the first place.
"Of course, you can stay if you don't wish to return to the Penglai World. However, the Good and Evil Sovereigns and I have decided to return." The Primordial Chaos Sovereign took a deep look at everyone and said apologetically.
After all, he was the one who brought everyone here. Now, he was the one who said he wanted to return after hundreds of thousands of years. This was undoubtedly embarrassing for him.
Everyone fell into silence. The Radiant Sun Sovereign and the others sighed. They had already decided that they would return to Penglai World once the Heavenly Dao's shackles were released. So they were waiting for the other experts to consider.
For these experts, Feng Hao undoubtedly hoped that they would choose to leave. That's because this large group of experts came from the Profound Dao Valley and High Firmament Peak. Even if they returned to Penglai World after hundreds of thousands of years, it wouldn't be easy for them to return to their respective forces. He might even be able to let some of them join the Human Race, which would undoubtedly strengthen the Human Race.
This was what Feng Hao hoped to see.
The Grandmist Sovereign and Evil Sovereign exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly. They could only respect these experts' choice. No matter what, they wouldn't blame them.
After a brief moment, a Divine Master finally stood out. He looked at the Primordial Sovereign, the Heavenly Good and Evil Sovereign, and the Radiant Sun Sovereign and said respectfully, "Three Sovereigns, although we followed you here in the past, it has already been hundreds of thousands of years. We've already grown tired of the battles in the past and consider the True Martial Continent as our home. If it's allowed, we don't wish to leave."
After the Divine Lord expressed his stance, many people echoed his words. They were all famous experts, but they weren't willing to be involved in the chaotic battles. They would rather live the rest of their lives in peace in the True Martial Continent.
Feng Hao remained silent. This was also within his expectations. When the Academy and the Daoist Temple were opposing each other, the Academy had tried to rope in these experts. Although a large portion of them submitted to the Daoist Temple, and many of them joined the Academy due to contempt, a large portion of them weren't willing to participate in the disputes.
However, there were also exceptions. Only a few Sovereigns expressed their willingness to follow the Grandmist Sovereign back to Penglai World.
"Alright, since you've decided to stay, I won't force you. You'll continue to manage the True Martial Continent, and you'll take over the academy's position." The Grandmist Sovereign smiled bitterly. He wasn't surprised by the situation at all.
The Radiant Sun Supreme and the others didn't have any objections to this. Moreover, this was something that had been discussed beforehand. The Radiant Sun Supreme, the Sage of Calligrapher, Shi Wuliang, and the others had all decided to leave the True Martial Continent the moment the Heavenly Shackles disappeared.
Since a portion of the experts weren't willing to leave, the responsibility of protecting the True Martial Continent naturally fell on them. The authority of the Academy had also been handed over to them.
"Keep it in mind." The experts who weren't willing to leave bowed respectfully to the three Supremes. They also heaved a sigh of relief. It was naturally the best if they could stay. They were already used to a carefree life for hundreds of thousands of years. They really didn't want to get involved in the disputes of various forces.
The Grandmist Sovereign nodded his head, and his eyes swept across the others. The ones who would leave the True Martial Continent were him, the Heavenly Good and Evil Sovereign, the Radiant Sun Sovereign, the Black Flame Qilin Sovereign, Lan Yu, Feng Hao, a child, the Calligrapher, and a group of fellow disciples. There were about twenty people in total.
Although there were only twenty of them, no one in the Penglai World could provoke such a force. Even the two great forces would not be willing to face four Supremes and a large group of Great Emperor level powerhouses.
"In that case, let's go. There's no time to lose. I'm afraid the outside world is already in chaos." The Grandmist Sovereign wasn't willing to stay for long. There were more important things waiting for them.
