Yi Yun's appearance made everyone fall silent.
Polar alone was indeed insufficient, but Yi Yun was different. Yi Yun had only appeared in the Chaos Heavens for a short period of time, but he was the most magnificent figure in the Chaos Heavens in the past billion years apart from the Ancestor God.
Be it Yi Yun's friends or enemies, they all admitted that Yi Yun was the only peerless elite that had the potential to grow to the level of Human Emperor.
However …
Even so, the present Yi Yun was unable to resist the Ancestor God.
Even with Yi Yun leading them, it was very likely that they would be completely wiped out against the Ancestor God.
"So it's you, Young Master Yi. I've long heard of you. I know that you are irreconcilable with the Ancestor God, but even if you join forces with us, we won't be of much help to you," said an old Ghost woman.
Her skin was sallow, as though it was smeared with a layer of corpse oil.
Yi Yun said, "Everyone, do you think that I've been forced into a corner by the Ancestor God, so I'm trying to drag you down with me to be cannon fodder so as to gain a chance of survival?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that …" The old Ghost woman spoke again, but she was interrupted by Yi Yun midway. "I've already cracked the Ancestor God's tracing mark on me. I can swear on my Dao heart that it's absolutely true."
"What!?"
Upon hearing Yi Yun say that, everyone was visibly moved. Yi Yun had actually removed the Ancestor God's tracing mark?
The tracing mark was something all of them had gone to great lengths to finally realize that unless one's nomological or psyche strength reached the Ancestor God's standard, there was no way to remove it.
"Then, Young Master Yi, can you help us …" The old Ghost woman found it difficult to speak, but with the tracing mark on her, it was like a nightmare haunting her. She could not sit still and felt that the Ancestor God could take her life at any moment.
The pressure was just too great. Removing the mark was something they wished for even in their dreams.
"Sorry, at least not now. It's not easy for me to remove the mark either. I don't have that much time, and it will only alert the enemy. I'm telling you this because I actually have a way out. Instead, the ones without a way out are you, the Chaos Heavens. "
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, everyone fell silent. Indeed, if Yi Yun did not have a tracing mark on him, he could leave the Chaos Heavens and hide in a Pocket World. The Ancestor God might not be able to find him. Although he would be on tenterhooks from then on, the chances of him surviving were still very high.
As for them, they were different. After the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao was devoured by the Ancestor God, they would only end up as the Ancestor God's loyal dogs. They would live in an inhuman manner and could even be abandoned. They might even be used as vessels to nurture demonic servants.
Yi Yun added, "I'm only saying this to tell you that I'm indeed confident before clashing with the Ancestor God head-on. If not, once he devours the chaos' Heavenly Dao, he would gain eternal Dao. When that happens, I probably won't be able to do a thing to him. This is your last chance. To me, it's just a chance to prove my Dao, but to you, it's a chance to survive. "
Yi Yun's words made everyone waver. Someone in the crowd asked, "How confident is Young master Yi?"
"Half and half. Man proposes, but God disposes. In order to avoid the Ancestor God's detection, I contacted you in batches through Senior Polar. Each batch consists of about ten people. You are no longer the first batch."
"Hmm? Young Master Yi, you contacted so many people? Aren't you afraid someone will snitch on you? "
"I'm afraid. That's why I'm taking a wisp of your intrinsic souls. I swear on my Dao heart that I will not let your intrinsic souls suffer any damage. Furthermore, I will immediately return the intrinsic souls to you after I'm done. Not only will it not harm your martial foundations, it will even bestow you with opportunities in the future! If I were to violate this promise, my martial foundations will be destroyed and I will fall to the mortal realm. "
As Yi Yun spoke, he beckoned his hand slightly. In his palm, bits of stellar light flashed. These stellar lights were the intrinsic souls left in Yi Yun's hand by Godly Monarch level figures.
Upon seeing this, everyone knew that Yi Yun was not lying. There was no need for him to lie either. Under such circumstances, it was necessary to leave behind a contingency plan. If not, they would not even dare risk their lives with Yi Yun. They might even end up being sold off without even knowing it.
Many people were tempted. Although Yi Yun said he was only fifty percent confident, there was still hope if they took the risk. If they did not, it would only result in a slow death.
After a long period of consideration, someone chose to sign a contract with Yi Yun.
With the first, there was a second. As more and more people signed a contract with Yi Yun, those who were hesitant could no longer sit still.
Finally, everyone chose to follow Yi Yun.
Regardless of what they were thinking, Yi Yun did not care. After all, he had their intrinsic souls in hand. The Ancestor God's actions were indeed hostile to the entire Chaos Heavens and were unpopular. Yi Yun refused to believe that anyone would risk their lives for an unpopular master.
…
Time slowly passed as the atmosphere in the Chaos Heavens turned more repressive. It was as though a storm was brewing.
Everyone knew that the setup of the array was nearing its end. All the major factions felt a dark cloud looming over their hearts as they felt stifled.
One day, in a particular spot in the Chaos Heavens, a divine beam of light shot into the sky like a heavenly pillar that pierced the clouds. Everyone in a radius of half a million kilometers saw the massive pillar of light tear through the land and tear through the cosmos.
Everyone could tell that the pillar of light came from Ethereal Lake.
Ethereal Lake was originally extremely mysterious. The reason why it was called Ethereal Lake was that it was erratic. Typical warriors would find it difficult to find its traces.
Rumor had it that people had bathed in Ethereal Lake and drank its waters to their heart's content. Later, their cultivation levels increased tremendously, breaking through several realms and becoming a hegemon.
Many warriors with low cultivation levels yearned for the legend of Ethereal Lake. They wished that they would be lucky enough to find the legendary Ethereal Lake.
However, no one would have thought that 30 years ago, someone would use a huge array flag to freeze the Misty Lake. It no longer drifted about, but was fixed in place. After that, all the water in the lake was slowly sucked dry by the array flag ….
At the same time, Ethereal Lake was surrounded by an array formation, preventing anyone from approaching it.
Now, the pillar of light that shot into the sky came from Ethereal Lake. It spewed out all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi accumulated in the magical wonderland, tearing apart Ethereal Lake.
From that moment forth, Ethereal Lake no longer existed in the Chaos Heavens!
As for Ethereal Lake, it was only one of the seventy-two sub-first-grade spirit vein sources that the Ancestor God had chosen in the Chaos Heavens.
Beyond Ethereal Lake, there were seventy-one divine beams of light that shot out from the land. If one looked down from high in the cosmos, they would see the entire Chaos Heavens lit up like beacons. It was resplendent and mysterious.
Everyone knew that the array left behind by the Ancestor God had finally been activated.
