Early in the morning, the sun rose.
In the new room, Su Mo had changed into a long white robe. Xi 'er gently smoothed out the wrinkles on his robe.
After more than a month of cultivation, although Su Mo's essence, qi, and spirit had not fully recovered, it was no longer a problem. Therefore, he ended his meditation.
After spending a night with Xi 'er, not only did he not feel the slightest bit tired, but he also felt a hundred times more energetic.
"Xi 'er, how many disciples has your Watermoon Palace recruited?" Su Mo asked with a smile.
"More than three thousand, but with the old disciples, there are now nearly thirty thousand disciples in the Watermoon Palace!" Xi 'er said with a smile.
"En!"
Su Mo nodded slightly. The original 200,000 disciples of the Firmament Palace were also divided according to their talents. This would be more suitable for development and management.
Although the Evergreen Palace, Thunderclap Palace, and Earth Palace did not have a successor yet, with the Guardian Puppets to help manage them, there would not be any problems.
"By the way, Brother Su Mo, Zhan Luan has been waiting for you in the palace for a month!" Xi 'er suddenly said.
"Zhan Luan?" Su Mo suddenly remembered that he had asked Zhan Luan to come to the Firmament Palace in the Emperor Xuan Mountain Range.
Then, Su Mo said goodbye to Xi 'er and left the room to meet Zhan Luan.
…
In a quaint side hall, Su Mo and Zhan Luan sat as host and guest.
"Zhan Luan, it's been a while. How have you been?" Su Mo smiled as he sized Zhan Luan up. The more he looked at him, the more he found him to be a good fit for the Earth Palace.
Zhan Luan was a genius with twin Martial Souls. He had the Giant Martial Soul and the Great Earth Martial Soul. His talents were definitely at the pinnacle and he was very suitable for the Earth Palace.
"Su Mo, why are you looking for me?" Zhan Luan sat still, his body straight. Even in the face of Su Mo, an invincible existence in the Firmament World, his expression did not change.
"Naturally, I have something to discuss with you!"
Su Mo nodded. After a moment of silence, he said solemnly, "How about you join the Firmament Palace?
Zhan Luan was stunned. He immediately shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I was born and raised in the War God Hall. I would never betray the War God Hall!"
Zhan Luan was a man of principle. He would not be oppressed by others.
"No one wants you to betray them!"
Su Mo chuckled and continued, "It won't be long before the Firmament World will be unified, so there's no such thing as betrayal!"
"What? You want to annex all the superpowers? "Zhan Luan was shocked and narrowed his eyes. He had not expected Su Mo to have such a huge appetite.
In fact, with Su Mo's current strength, the Firmament Palace was already invincible. The other superpowers would definitely submit to him on the surface.
However, this was not enough. What he wanted was unification. However, he was not in a hurry.
"The great calamity is coming, I have no choice but to do it!" Su Mo sighed. In fact, if it were not for the major calamity, he would not even bother to fight for hegemony. It would be great to live a carefree life with his beloved.
"There are still eight or nine years before the catastrophe. Besides, even if you unify the entire Firmament World, it won't help!"
Zhan Luan shook his head. In the face of the Trial Tester's arrival, the experts of the Firmament World could only try their best to hide. Only then would they have a chance to escape death.
He did not think that Su Mo was doing this to resist the calamity. It was definitely because of his own ambition and desire.
"Are you willing to become a lamb to be slaughtered by the Trial Tester? Are you willing to let the Firmament World become the prey of the Sorcerer tribe for generations to come? Do you not want to resist? "Su Mo's eyes burned as he looked straight into Zhan Luan's eyes and asked three questions in a row.
Zhan Luan frowned. Of course he was not willing, but what could he do?
According to the records of the ancestors of the Warlord Hall, the Sorcerer tribe was an undefeatable existence. They could only hide and escape to have any hope of survival.
"Answer me. Are you willing?" Su Mo suddenly shouted coldly. His voice rolled and a domineering and majestic aura rose from his body.
"I'm not willing!" Zhan Luan was stunned by Su Mo's sudden change and said subconsciously.
"Since you're not willing, then follow me. Defeat the Trial Tester and rush out of the Firmament World to pursue the freedom we deserve!" Su Mo's expression was solemn and his voice was extremely low.
Defeat the Trial Tester and rush out of the Firmament World to pursue our freedom —
Su Mo's words reverberated in Zhan Luan's mind.
Zhan Luan was shocked. He did not expect Su Mo to be so ambitious. Was this possible?
Countless ancestors in the post-archean times had wanted to achieve this and had worked hard for it.
But for tens of thousands of years and generations, no one had been able to do it.
Resistance would only lead to a bloody massacre. There was no exception at all.
Therefore, the current Firmament World was no longer thinking about resistance in the face of the Trial Tester's calamity, but how to hide and escape!
"Can you do it?" Zhan Luan asked in a daze. Although he knew that Su Mo's talent was terrifying and extraordinary, he still did not believe that Su Mo could accomplish this great feat.
Because since ancient times, there had been too many amazing geniuses who had eventually died at the hands of the Trial Testers.
For example, the ancestor of the Dugus, the forger of the Billion Demonic Sword, Dugu Shang.
In the post-archean times, Dugu Shang was a peerless demon and was invincible in the world. In order to fight against the Trial Testers, he had forged a terrifying Demonic Weapon like the Billion Demonic Sword.
But in the end, Dugu Shang still ended in failure.
However, if there was really a possibility of accomplishing this feat, Zhan Luan would not refuse. He was also considered the most outstanding genius in this era, so he had to shoulder the responsibility on his shoulders.
"If I don't succeed, I'll die!" Su Mo said flatly. He would definitely do it, not only to save the Firmament World, but also for his own fate.
Moreover, Su Mo knew that with his cultivation, it was impossible for him to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in the Firmament World.
This was because the Firmament World was severely short of resources and its luck had been exhausted.
This was also the reason why it was very difficult for a Martial Emperor to appear in the Firmament World. It was already a miracle for Wu Sen to appear.
It was extremely difficult for him to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in the Firmament World. If he could not become a Martial Emperor, he would not be able to save Qian Xunyue.
Therefore, considering all the circumstances, Su Mo had to leave the Firmament World.
Looking at the determination in Su Mo's eyes, Zhan Luan's emotions surged and he could not calm down for a long time. He felt as if the blood in his body had been stirred.
"Do you have any specific plans?" Zhan Luan asked in a deep voice.
"All plans are futile. Only by strengthening ourselves can we have a hope of victory!"
Su Mo's eyes flashed and he continued, "The Firmament Palace has a large number of ancient top martial arts techniques. With our talents, eight or nine years will be enough!"
Hearing Su Mo's words, Zhan Luan was silent and kept thinking.
Indeed, as an ancient overlord, the Firmament Palace had a large number of ancient top martial arts techniques. No one doubted this.
If they had so many martial arts techniques and gathered the resources of the entire Firmament World, their strength would reach a peak within a few years.
By then, there might really be a hope of victory.
The most important thing was that with a genius like Su Mo, whose talent was beyond common sense, it was not impossible to accomplish this feat.
Moreover, in this era, as the strength of the Firmament World became weaker and weaker, the strength of the Trial Testers who descended was also weaker and could not be compared to that of the post-archean times.
"Alright, I'm willing to join the Firmament Palace!"
