âWhat are you so nervous about?â Qu Jianying looked at Long Chen oddly.
Hearing that, Long Chen immediately relaxed. It seemed that he had overthought it.
âAh, I was just nervous that you would beat me because of the old manâs matter,â said Long Chen.
âHmph, that old bastard, Iâve known him for the better part of my lifetime. If I got angry at everything he did, Iâd have long since died from rage. I canât be bothered with him,â snorted Qu Jianying.
Inside, Long Chen thought to himself that while it was true that the old manâs temper was fierce, Qu Jianying wasnât any better. They always had to have thorns in their words. Even if one of them had a good temper, they still wouldnât be able to get along over time.
The two of them always blamed the other for their problems while never reflecting on themselves. For a person to look at themselves clearly was truly difficult.
âAlliance head, did you need me?â asked Long Chen.
âYes. We have several things to discuss.â Qu Jianying nodded.
âWhy would you need to discuss things with me? Youâre the alliance head, and Iâm just a little disciple.â Long Chen smiled.
Qu Jianying shook her head. âYour tribulation and battle have shaken the continent. You slew your fellow peak geniuses, destroyed Heavenly Fate Island whose inheritance stretches back countless years, and even killed two island masters. You donât even realize this, but your influence might be even greater than mine. In just ten years, the entire Martial Heaven Continent might belong to you. So donât act so bored all the time like Mo Nian. You should bring out your charisma-â
Long Chen hastily waved his hand, already knowing her goal. âThatâs enough, alliance head. I donât have such aspirations. If I wasnât forced to, I wouldnât have stood out like I did. So donât try to use the name of all lives or the people to talk me around. The reason I am brothers with Mo Nian is because the two of us are both little rogues happy with just the basics. Weâre also very lazy and canât accept such immense responsibility. Thereâs no way for me to compare to Ye Lingshan in that regard, nor do I wish to sacrifice so much. I see how you care for me because of the old man, and you see the trust I have in you. As weâre so close, thereâs no need to mince words. I, Long Chen, am not that kind of person, so you shouldnât waste the effort to make me into that.â
Seeing Long Chen shake his head like a rattle even before she was done speaking, Qu Jianying couldnât help sighing. After hesitating for a long time, she had discussed it with the higher-ups of the Martial Heaven Alliance to consider making Long Chen the leader of the Martial Heaven Alliance. His rallying power was simply much greater than Ye Lingshanâs.
The leader of the Martial Heaven Alliance didnât necessarily need to be incredibly powerful, but they did need great charisma and rallying power, the ability to make others follow them into death.
Long Chen was perfect for that, and when she had suggested it, the majority of people had supported this choice. But the four Grand Elders had immediately shaken their heads.
Yan Nantian had told Qu Jianying to give up on that, saying that Long Chen would not accept being the alliance head. He was a wild horse that no one could subdue. He pursued freedom, something he would never have as the alliance head.
As expected, even the position of leader of the Martial Heaven Alliance was unable to move Long Chen.
âAre you really not going to consider it?â asked Qu Jianying.
âIâm not jumping into that hole. I never wanted to be some savior of the world. I just want to live in peace with my wives. Fishing, hunting, having a group of babies, wouldnât that be a much better life?â
âBut you have a relationship with Sovereign Yun Shang. The Sovereigns were always the protective gods of the Martial Heaven Continent. On their own, they pulled against the tide of destruction, saving the continent from a crisis. This is your responsibility!â
âWhen I encountered Sovereign Yun Shang, he never said anything about that. I feel like itâs fine for me to be like this.â
âYou⊠you actually saw Sovereign Yun Shang?!â
The Sovereigns were the strongest and most mysterious existences in this world. They had left behind countless legends but had then vanished without a trace. Some people said that they had died, while some said that they were hiding. There were countless guesses.
However, anyone who could obtain anything that a Sovereign had left behind would be viewed as someone who would have amazing accomplishments in the future.
Long Chen had actually even seen Sovereign Yun Shang? In her shock, Qu Jianying completely forgot about her previous matter.
âYes, I suppose. We chatted a bit and played chess. Then he gave me Evilmoon. He told me to eat and drink properly and maintain a strong body. He didnât mention anything else,â said Long Chen.
âNonsense!â cursed Qu Jianying. She refused to believe that. Actually, the first part was true, but Qu Jianying assumed that Long Chen was hiding some kind of secret. After all, this matter was related to the Sovereigns and couldnât be randomly talked about. It wasnât convenient for her to pursue this topic.
âLong Chen, I called you over to discuss things that are happening outside. Due to us refusing those opportunists and traitors, the majority of them have gone to Pill Valleyâs side,â said Qu Jianying gravely.
âYu Xiaoyun has once more made a move?â Long Chen was surprised by this. Those people shouldnât be so reckless as to join Pill Valley that easily. Being refused by the Martial Heaven Alliance should have made them even more cautious.
Qu Jianying nodded, sighing. âWhen it comes to intelligence, I canât compare to Yu Xiaoyun. Perhaps youâre the only one who can match himâŠâ
âOur sect leader is definitely not inferior to him in that regard,â said Long Chen quickly, ending that change of topic right there.
The sect leader he referred to was Li Tianxuan. When it came to intelligence, the only one Long Chen admired was Li Tianxuan. Yu Xiaoyun might be difficult to deal with, but that was only because of his position. If Li Tianxuan was standing in an equal position, Yu Xiaoyun wouldnât necessarily be Li Tianxuanâs match.
With Li Tianxuan in the Martial Heaven Alliance, there was nothing for Long Chen to worry about, so he quickly stopped Qu Jianying.
Qu Jianying glared at Long Chen for a moment, feeling like he was a wily old fox who couldnât be conned. âThree days after we refused those people, Pill Valley sent out word that any disciples of sects allied with Pill Valley could enter Pill Valleyâs Brahma secret realm for tempering,â said Qu Jianying.
âThe Brahma secret realm? What damn thing is that?â Long Chen was startled. Didnât Pill Valley only possess the Heaven Dragon Flame Region? Where did a Brahma secret realm come from?
âThe Brahma secret realm is one of Pill Valleyâs secrets. Itâs said that it is a legacy that their god Lord Brahma left behind before becoming a god. As for whether thatâs true or not, thereâs no way for us to know. There are countless precious medicines and beasts within it, and it is a sacred land to Pill Valley. Pill Valley was only willing to reveal this secret to steady their sideâs hearts after they took such immense losses in the previous battle. One aspect is compensation to them, while another reason is to draw over people from the neutral side. As long as the neutral campâs people swear to never stand beside the Martial Heaven Alliance, they will also be allowed to enter the Brahma secret realm.â
Yu Xiaoyun seemed to have countless moves up his sleeve. The Martial Heaven Alliance had only just won a victory when he made his next move, instantly stabilizing his side and even drawing in more of the neutral campâs people.
âIs the Brahma secret realm really related to Lord Brahma? Is Pill Valley really willing to share their godâs inheritance with other people?â Long Chen frowned, thinking that this wasnât usual for Yu Xiaoyun. âWhat about the sect leader? What does he say?â
âLi Tianxuan said that this move is very strange and that he canât see through it. However, this might be Yu Xiaoyunâs only way to steady the hearts of the large factions on his side,â said Qu Jianying.
Lord Brahmaâs inheritance? Long Chen had an urge to go. He still didnât know much about the Pill Sovereignâs memories. However, the intense disgust he had for Lord Brahma and Fallen Daynight came from deep within his soul, and so they should be related to the Pill Sovereignâs memories.
The Pill Sovereignâs memories had a close link to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art as well, but he knew little about either. If he wanted to figure it out, he had to go to the Brahma secret realm.
âHas the Brahma secret realm already been opened?â asked Long Chen.
âNot yet. They have announced that it will open in one month because they are still waiting for the Pill Fairy, their godâs chosen, to fully awaken. They need her power to open the Brahma secret realm,â said Qu Jianying.
Long Chenâs heart pounded hard. The warm smile of the Pill Fairy appeared in his mind. It made him think of past events.
He couldnât help sighing. Why did she have to be Yu Xiaoyunâs daughter, with Yu Xiaoyun being his mortal enemy? They would definitely have a battle to the death one day. It really was a case of fate toying with people.
âApparently, the Pill Fairy has already reached the last step of her inheritance. Once she succeeds, she will become Pill Valleyâs divine daughter and will be blessed by the godâs power. At that time, no one will be able to match her within the same realm. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that Yu Xiaoyun retreated. You are currently unrivaled in the same realm, but his daughter might be able to kill you. In fact, your current fame might even have been boosted intentionally by him so that when his daughter kills you, Pill Valley will rise far above anyone else,â said Qu Jianying. Yu Xiaoyunâs scheming was extremely frightening.
She warned him, âYou must be careful of the Pill Fairy. Once she becomes the divine daughter, her entire character will change. The will of the god will influence her mind. Donât think that your past relations with her will make it so that she wonât kill you.â
Long Chen nodded. He had heard a bit about this god inheritance. The so-called divine sons and divine daughters were servants of their gods. They were only loyal to their god.
Sometimes, some things couldnât be avoided no matter what. Long Chen was already used to it. The future would come no matter what.
