Year 13,643, January 6th, Life and Death Alliance was officially established with Lu An as the alliance leader.
That night, the patriarchs of the three major races returned to their own territories. They did not celebrate, nor did they stay. For these people who had lived for thousands of years, these things were meaningless. Only real actions had value.
Lu An And Yao returned to the Immortal Island. Lu An was also preparing to continue cultivating 《Realm of Demon Gods》. With the accumulation of death energy in his body, Lu An's strength increased once again. However, the increase in strength had nothing to do with the realm. If Lu An wanted to reach the late stage of Class 7, he would need to continue working hard.
However, after just one night, the next morning, Lu An, who was cultivating on the outer reef of the Immortal Island, opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Immortal Island.
In the perception of the Realm of Demon Gods, two figures were flying towards him. They were none other than Yao Yao and Liu Yi.
Lu An's pair of red eyes gradually disappeared. The surrounding death energy also immediately dispersed. Soon, Yao Yao and Liu Yi arrived on the island. Lu An stood up and noticed that Liu Yi's expression was somewhat serious. This was a rare occurrence.
"What's wrong?" Lu An asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"En." Liu Yi nodded and said to Lu An, "I'm afraid that war will break out between the four great empires soon. The Southern Cloud Emperor wants to see you. You should meet him first!"
War?!
Lu An's heart shook. Fu Yu once told him that the world was going to be in chaos. He did not expect it to come so soon!
"Alright!" Lu An immediately nodded and said, "Let's go now!"

Southern Cloud Empire, Imperial City.
A teleportation array appeared in the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. Soon, Lu An and the other two walked out from it. The three did not stop and immediately rushed towards the Imperial Palace. Because of the Emperor's permission, the three did not even pass through the Imperial Palace's main hall. They directly flew through the air and quickly arrived at the Emperor's discussion hall.
This place was different from the main hall. It was not as open as the main hall. Instead, it was a more secretive place. However, the true decisions of the entire country were made here, and the hall was just a place for announcements.
In a flash, Lu An and the other two were already standing at the entrance of the Town Hall. At this moment, there was not a single guard around the Town Hall. All of them had been cleared. Lu An went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a heavy voice came from inside.
"Please come in!"
Lu An pushed open the door and saw only two people sitting in the meeting hall, the Southern Cloud Emperor Wang Yan and Princess Yan Yi.
Lu An had not expected that there would only be two people. He thought that the nobles and ministers would also be present. The three of them immediately entered, closed the door, and came to the long table.
"Please take a seat," Emperor Wang Yan said politely.
Lu An and the other two sat down across from Princess Yan Yi. Lu An immediately asked Wang Yan, "Senior, what's going on?"
Wang Yan's expression was extremely solemn. He took a deep breath and said, "This happened too suddenly. I just received the news today. The fifteen sects and sixteen factions jointly issued an order to gradually sever their relationship with the four great empires. After that, they will no longer interfere with the affairs of the four great empires and cut off all ties! "
Lu An's body trembled. Although he had heard some news, he did not expect them to be so resolute!
"Why?!" Lu An quickly asked, "Did the fifteen sects and sixteen factions give a reason?"
"No!" Wang Yan shook his head and said in a very low voice, "After receiving this news, I immediately went to manage the eight sects in the Southern Cloud Empire. However, when I arrived, the eight sect heads did not even want to see me! Only the elders saw me. They said that this matter had already been decided, and there was no need for me to ask why. As for the future of the Southern Cloud Empire, I will be the one to manage it! "
Lu An frowned when he heard that. However, he was only a Celestial Master and not a politician. He could not imagine the impact of such a thing. He could only ask immediately, "What impact will the sect have if they do this?"
The Southern Cloud Emperor looked at Lu An with a complicated expression. He said four words in a deep voice, "Heaven! Down! Great! Chaos! "
Lu An's eyes were solemn as he asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "The four great empires are indeed powerful, but they are not as powerful as the fifteen sects and sixteen factions. To put it bluntly, the four great empires are just the claws and teeth of the fifteen sects and sixteen factions in the secular world. Everything is done for them."
"Since the beginning of the Eight Ancient Era, the Eight Ancient Continents seemed to be managed by the four great empires. However, the fifteen sects and sixteen factions are the real managers of the Eight Ancient Continents. Once the fifteen sects and sixteen factions no longer participate in worldly affairs, the Eight Ancient Continents will lose their managers. The four great empires are just empty shells. They don't have enough power to maintain the stability of the continent! "
"You are all powerful. Young Hero Lu has stayed in the Lonemoon Alliance for a while. Of course, you know how many powerful Heavenly Masters there are in this world." Wang Yan's face was extremely solemn as he said, "There are countless deep-sea Heavenly Masters around the Eight Ancient Continents. There are even Level Nine Heavenly Masters! The four great empires don't have a single Level Nine Heavenly Master. Once the deep-sea Heavenly Masters know that the fifteen sects and sixteen factions have left, they will all swarm into the Eight Ancient Continents. At that time, who in the four great empires can control them? "
Lu An was shaken. Wang Yan was right. The strength of any alliance in the sea wasn't weaker than any of the alliances in the four great empires. Some of them were even stronger than the other alliances. In the past, the sects had protected the Eight Ancient Continents on the surface, so these people didn't dare to act rashly. Even if there were Heavenly Masters who were so strong that even the sects couldn't control them, the Hachiko clan would take action. However, the Hachiko clan and the sects had retreated at the same time. The enormous Eight Ancient Continents was like a treasure trove without any defense. Anyone could come in!
Thinking about this, Lu An was suddenly shaken.
If that was the case, didn't it mean that the races other than humans could also come back to the Eight Ancient Continents?
No!
Lu An immediately denied this idea. It was hard to guess the Hachiko clan's intention. Although the Hachiko clan had stirred up chaos in the world, it was the human race's business. If the other races wanted to take advantage of the chaos to enter the Eight Ancient Continents, the Hachiko clan wouldn't let them go!
"This threat will come from the sea. There are also many threats in the Eight Ancient Continents." Wang Yan continued in a low voice, "Because of the sect's rule, all Level Eight Heavenly Masters must enter the Four Great Empires. Otherwise, they will be hunted down. However, all Level Eight Heavenly Masters are conceited people. How could they be willing to be managed by others? That's why most of the Level Eight Heavenly Masters have gone to the sea. However, some of them haven't left the Eight Ancient Continents. They have hidden! "
"These Level Eight Heavenly Masters hiding in the Eight Ancient Continents are also a big threat. Once they appear, they will immediately occupy a huge territory. At that time, all the Heavenly Masters will declare themselves as kings. There will definitely be conflicts, which will lead to a miserable life! "
Speaking of this, Wang Yan's eyebrows became tighter. This kind of emotion had never appeared on this emperor. He even clenched his right fist and continued, "Most importantly, when the sects leave, the Four Great Empires will bear the brunt and become the most chaotic place. Because of the rule of the Four Great Empires, who knows how many grudges have been accumulated over the past tens of thousands of years. Many people have spent their entire lives trying to take revenge on the Four Great Empires. When the time comes, the Four Great Empires will be in danger! "
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Lu An also became silent. The Southern Cloud Emperor was right. Although it seemed like an ordinary sect severing its relationship with the Empires, it was actually causing chaos in the world.
Yao and Liu Yi also fell into silence. As the saying goes, no one can stay safe in a chaotic world. The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce in the Four Great Empires naturally couldn't avoid it. Though the Celestial Region would not be drawn into this war, they were about to face the misery and suffering of all living beings in the world, so how could Yao Yao ignore it?
"How much longer?" After a few breaths, Lu An finally opened his mouth and asked, "How long will it take for the sects to withdraw from the Empires?"
"They gave a clear time, only one year!" Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "After all, we have been working with the sects for tens of thousands of years. There are many people in the sects who are also working in the Four Great Empires. These people need to be checked before they can return to the sects to seek refuge. This is also the last bit of buffer time for the Four Great Empires. Starting from the first day of next year, all connections will be completely severed! "
Only one year?
Lu An frowned. One year wasn't short, but it wasn't long either. No matter what, the Four Great Empires didn't have enough time.
"The Empires need to recruit powerful Heavenly Masters!" Wang Yan went straight to the point. He looked at Lu An and said, "Under such circumstances, the best candidate to recruit Heavenly Masters is a pharmacist! After severing ties with the sects, you will be recognized as the strongest pharmacist in the world. If the Southern Cloud Empire has your name, it will definitely attract a lot of experts. Who knows, the Southern Cloud Empire might even have a chance to survive! "
As he spoke, Wang Yan suddenly stood up. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he actually bowed to Lu An and pleaded, "For the sake of our past relationship, please help the Southern Cloud Empire tide over this crisis!"
