Unlike Jiujiu, the East Source Lord had always been in the Mortal World even though he was formed from the Primordial Rib Bone. Even after he ascended, he still cared about the Mortal World the most.
The place that he treasured the most had been destroyed by his enemy, the Zhaoling Lord. Both new and old hatred welled up within him. Gritting his teeth, the East Source Lord said, "Zhaoling Lord, you're really something."
Not only did the Zhaoling Lord plan to turn him into such a state, but he even turned his hometown into such a state.
The two of them would not rest until one of them was dead.
Jiujiu looked at the East Source Lord's angry expression and raised a hand to ruffle his hair. She said softly, "No matter what you want to do, I'll help you."
The East Source Lord's anger instantly turned into joy when he heard Jiujiu's words.
Since the East Source Lord had awakened, a battle with the Zhaoling Lord was naturally unavoidable.
Jiujiu had asked everyone on the Primordial Continent to raise their cultivation, contract the Boundary Stele, and rope in the Dragon Clan because she didn't know the Zhaoling Lord's current strength. She wanted to maximize her chances of victory.
However, now that the East Source Lord had awakened, it didn't matter how the others were doing.
In a battle between experts, victory or defeat could be decided in a single move. Tactics with numbers were only suitable for ordinary people.
Taking a step back, if Jiujiu and the East Source Lord couldn't defeat the Zhaoling Lord, it would be futile no matter how many people there were.
However, this was still the East Source Lord's favorite place. After some thought, Jiujiu decided to follow the East Source Lord into the Otherworld through the Arcana Secret Realm. Then, they would go from the Otherworld to the Celestial World.
The Celestial World had long been contaminated by the Zhaoling Lord. It would be a good time to rebuild it.
Jiujiu told the East Source Lord her thoughts.
The East Source Lord naturally agreed to Jiujiu's suggestion.
The two of them were preparing to go to the Celestial World soon, so they naturally had to tell everyone.
Jiujiu had been in seclusion for more than half a year. Now that she had come out, she was even holding the hand of a strange man.
The man wore a green robe that was the same color as Jiujiu's. His hair was secured behind his head with a white jade hairpin. His eyes were as bright as the moon, emitting a lustrous radiance. However, when he looked at Jiujiu, his eyes overflowed with deep affection. With just a glance, everyone could see that the relationship between Jiujiu and the man was different.
Thinking of Jiujiu's motive for going to the Other World, a name appeared in everyone's mind.
Since the Xuantian Sect was Lord Dongyuan's old headquarters, he had inherited his memories. Even though they were separated by hundreds of thousands of years, Su Yu was still able to recognize Lord Dongyuan as the ancestor of the Xuantian Sect at first glance.
Su Yu knelt before Lord Dongyuan and bowed his head respectfully. "The 89th Master of the Xuantian Sect, Su Yu, pays his respects to the Old Ancestor!"
Su Yu's kneeling was like a signal.
First, the disciples of the Xuantian Sect knelt down in unison. Then, the other factions followed suit. In just an instant, a large group of people had knelt down.
Lord Dongyuan had never been interested in power. Even though everyone was kneeling down, his face was still indifferent. He raised his hand casually and said, "Get up!"
With Lord Dongyuan's permission, Su Yu stood up from the ground. However, his face was full of respect.
Lord Dongyuan acted as if he did not see the longing in everyone's eyes. He said flatly, "I will return to the Celestial World in a few days."
Although everyone knew that Lord Dongyuan would definitely return to the Celestial World after he woke up, they did not expect it to be so soon.
Lord Dongyuan was the ancestor of the Xuantian Sect. Among all of them, Su Yu was the one who truly cared about Jiujiu and Lord Dongyuan. The moment he saw Lord Dongyuan, he was excited and delighted. However, he soon remembered that Jiujiu and Lord Dongyuan's enemy was Lord Zhaoling. Thinking about how Jiujiu had described Lord Zhaoling's appearance, even though he knew how powerful Lord Dongyuan was, Su Yu could not help but feel a little worried about the newly awakened Lord Dongyuan going up against Lord Zhaoling, who had absorbed the souls of countless cultivators and immortals.
Su Yu looked at Lord Dongyuan worriedly. He then turned to Jiujiu and said, "In my humble opinion, this matter needs to be discussed at length …"
Lord Dongyuan had no impression of Su Yu. He had already decided to return to the Celestial World to seek revenge on Lord Zhaoling. Naturally, he would not change his mind easily.
However, Su Yu had just addressed him as ancestor, and every word of his was filled with great concern. Lord Dongyuan did not refute his words. Instead, he turned to look at Jiujiu. He wanted to know what Jiujiu was thinking.
"Lord Zhaoling is deranged. He treats the human world's cultivators like fish on a chopping board. After absorbing their cultivations, he refined their bodies into elixirs to increase his cultivation. His actions are worse than pigs and dogs."
"Some time ago, he set up that sinister formation near the Liuxian Faction. It's clear that his desires are unquenchable. Now, the human world is safe with Lord Dongyuan and me, but I'm afraid the other two worlds will not be able to escape from his evil hands."
Jiujiu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lord Dongyuan.
She took the initiative to hold Lord Dongyuan's hand.
Lord Dongyuan's fingers were slender and long, and his skin was as fair and tender as a baby's.
However, Jiujiu knew that Lord Dongyuan had suffered a lot. His heart was not weak at all, and he looked so perfect on the outside.
However, she knew that no matter how cold Lord Dong Yuan appeared to be on the surface, he definitely cared about the living beings of the other two realms in his bones.
Even if the Heaven Realm's Deity had once helped Lord Zhaoling deal with him, even if he did not like the demons of the Underworld very much.
However, he was formed from the Hongmeng Rib Bone. His appearance was cold and indifferent, as if he did not care about anything. However, Jiujiu knew that Lord Dongyuan was just like Hongmeng. He liked all the creatures of the Hongmeng Continent.
Every flower, every blade of grass, every person, and every object, regardless of whether they were good or evil, he liked them all.
The meaning of his existence was more like a guardian.
He protected those who were kind and beautiful.
It was also because of this that Lord Dongyuan believed that all things in the world were inherently good. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into Lord Zhaoling's trap so easily.
Now that he had returned after going through untold hardships, his heart still held on to the last bit of kindness. How could Jiujiu not like this Lord Dongyuan?
Jiujiu's gaze was deep, and her eyes shone with deep fondness. Lord Dongyuan seemed to sense it, and he tilted his head slightly to look at Jiujiu. The moment their gazes met, Lord Dongyuan's lips curled up, and he gave Jiujiu an extremely gentle smile.
Jiujiu retracted her gaze from Lord Dongyuan and said, "Hongmeng used his life to create the Three Realms. My husband was formed from the Hongmeng Rib Bone, and it was his duty to protect the Three Realms. Now that the Three Realms have been thrown into chaos by Lord Zhaoling's power alone, my husband has returned. Naturally, he will set things right and return everything to the right track."
Jiujiu's words were all what Lord Dongyuan wanted to say, but he was too lazy to say them.
Now that Jiujiu had said them, the practitioners who had hoped that Lord Dongyuan could rest in the Human Realm could not bring themselves to say them anymore.
In contrast to Lord Dongyuan's selfless sacrifice, their disagreements were like rats in the dark, dirty and shameful.
Su Yu was the first to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
The practitioners of the other factions knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed.
With the loud kowtows, Jiujiu took Lord Dongyuan's hand and flew towards the Liuxian Faction.
As for Xiao Bai, Tuan Zi, and Long Yang, they were left behind by Jiujiu to guard the other practitioners.
Jiujiu also had a little trick up her sleeve.
