Chapter 634 - 621 Reversal
The Nine Great Sovereigns looked at the Master of Primordial Yi, who was attempting to control the entire Ancient Immortal Realm single-handedly, anger evident in their eyes.
"You wish to monopolize the Ancient Immortal Realm!?"
The Master of Creation was the first to step forward and rebuke loudly.
"Master of Primordial Yi, you've gone too far, weren't we supposed to divide the Ancient Immortal Realm based on contributions? And now, you want to swallow it whole by yourself!?"
The Master Xi Yu followed.
"Heh, I'm rather curious, since when did you, the Master of Primordial Yi, become so agreeable? Waiting here, huh? So, in your eyes, our actions over the past tens of thousands of years were like a clown's performance? You just quietly watched us put on a big show?"
The Lord of Tianyuan sneered.
"It's not that I want to monopolize the Ancient Immortal Realm."
The Master of Primordial Yi shook his head slightly: "The current situation, as you see, is that the Destiny Dao Ancestor chose to integrate with me, effectively handing me the control of the Ancient Immortal Realm. This was the choice of the Destiny Dao Ancestor, not mine. I am merely completing the integration of the two realms in the most benign and least damaging way possible."
"Who knows what promises you made to the Destiny Dao Ancestor? Maybe you've betrayed our interests in the Chaotic Origin Realm!"
The Lord of Shenluo expressed his dissatisfaction.
The Master of Creation's dispersed spiritual energy was filled with displeasure and even malice: "Let me think, perhaps you'll split the Chaotic Origin Realm in two, one part of the universe adopting the Path of Spirituality, and the other evolving the Three Thousand Great Daos? If that is true, should this battle be considered our victory, or did the Ancient Immortal Realm successfully invade us and become the ruler of the Chaotic Origin Realm?"
"All I have done conforms to the operating principles of the Chaotic Origin Realm, aiming to secure the maximum benefits for the Chaotic Origin Realm at the least cost."
The Master of Primordial Yi calmly stated, "Such accusations from the nine sovereigns are hardly rational or rule-abiding."
"Rules? Rationality?"
The Lord of Tianyuan's expression was icy: "Now you're using your rules and rationality as excuses?"
"I have always acted according to the rules; the collective spirituality of countless beings blesses me, they feel that you Nine Major Groups should lead this war, and I adhered to this, even voluntarily becoming an assistant to the nine sovereigns, aiding you fully in breaking through the Gate of Cause and Effect, even at the Early Stage of breaking the Gate of Destiny, this intention of mine has not changed. It was the choice of the myriad beings, it was the will of all spirits."
The Master of Primordial Yi explained: "But now, we have a better solution to the battle. The Destiny Dao Ancestor does not wish to harm both realms in a mutually destructive manner, he proactively chose to integrate with me, allowing me to oversee the integration of the two realms, so... I hope the sovereigns can also adhere to the rules."
"I do not believe, since after only tens of thousands of years we could have obliterated it, why bother complicating things?"
The Lord of Tianyuan said: "Besides, the Gate of Destiny is now but dry bones in a tomb, even if it strikes back with all its might, how much damage can it really bring to our Chaotic Origin Realm?"
"At least, there will be losses, perhaps ten percent, maybe five percent, but by that moment, a powerful dying counter-attack will certainly bring damage that the Chaotic Origin Realm must bear."
The Master of Primordial Yi unhurriedly said: "If you really are unwilling to accept, then let the decision be made by the myriad beings and all spirits, let them choose, whether to risk the Ancient Immortal Realm set off by the Destiny Dao Ancestor inflicting severe damage to the Chaotic Origin Realm or opt for a milder way for me to integrate with the Destiny Dao Ancestor, controlling the merging of the Ancient Immortal Realm."
"Fearmongering!"
The Master of Creation immediately retorted: "I believe, there is no real counterattack from the Destiny Dao Ancestor! It's just that you're worried that the authority in your hands will be influenced by the will of the beings and fall into our hands, thus you chose to cooperate with the Destiny Dao Ancestor! By sacrificing the interests of the Chaotic Origin Realm in exchange for the Ancient Immortal Realm led by the Destiny Dao Ancestor!"
The Master of Primordial Yi looked at the several sovereigns who staunchly opposed him.
At this moment, he did not back down.
He had always considered matters from the standpoint of the Chaotic Origin Realm.
And the Destiny Dao Ancestor willing to surrender and actively merge with him was evidently the result that best matched the interests of the Chaotic Origin Realm and all living beings.
As a special existence formed by the collective will of sentient beings, he naturally prioritized the interests of the Chaotic Origin Realm and all living beings' development.
After pondering for a moment, he still maintained a calm tone: "Given the objections of several sovereigns, I am willing to explain the pros and cons of both plans in detail to all intelligent beings, Immortal Spirits, and ultimately, let the myriad beings and all spirits make the decision."
"We, the Nine Major Groups, will also explain our stance to the myriad beings and all spirits!"
The Master of Creation said.
"Fine."
The Master of Primordial Yi agreed, and soon, a Formless ripple spread out.
Through the Virtual Immortal Realm and Spiritual Energy, it instantly spread throughout the entire Ancient Immortal Realm and Chaotic Origin Realm.
For a time, almost all beings from both the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm received the public announcement from the Master of Primordial Yi about the final decision in this great battle.
Not just the Master of Primordial Yi.
Soon, the Nine Major Groups also jointly released their message.
To this, the Master of Primordial Yi did not interfere.
But he pointed out some of the false statements, hoping that the Nine Great Sovereigns would make corrections.
This request was rejected by the Nine Great Sovereigns with the rationale that every intelligent being, every Immortal Spirit has their own view on different matters.
And they proposed the principle of "all spirits are born free."
With all these conditions laid out, the Master of Primordial Yi could not contravene these rules that had been established from his very formation.
He had enough confidence in himself.
His actions had always been fair and just, completely impartial.
_he believed that the billions of intelligent beings, Immortal Spirits of-
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Quickly, the Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns had already received feedback from countless wisdom beings and Immortal Spirits.
Supporters of the Master of Primordial Yi exceeded sixty percent!
This result made the Nine Great Sovereigns somewhat embarrassed emotionally.
They had thought they already had sufficient influence over the Chaotic Origin Realm.
And that they could use this influence to accomplish some things, but unexpectedly...
The support previously gained from breaching the Gate of Cause and Effect was illusory; when it really needed to be utilized, its true form was revealed.
"The results are out."
The expression of the Master of Primordial Yi did not change at all.
He had long understood that this would be the outcome.
"Now, I need the nine of you Sovereigns to coordinate with me with the spiritual energy you control, to help me quickly complete the assimilation of the Destiny Dao Ancestor and the integration with the Ancient Immortal Realm."
The Nine Great Sovereigns exchanged glances, their gaze fell on the Master of Primordial Yi, who was currently merging with the Destiny Dao Ancestor.
They knew, even without their help, the Master of Primordial Yi would ultimately merge with the Destiny Dao Ancestor.
It would just require more effort.
With the Master of Primordial Yi's decision regaining the support of all wisdom beings and Immortal Spirits, the 'public' spiritual power he could harness was restored to over sixty percent.
Whether the Nine Great Sovereigns helped or not, the outcome would still not change.
The situation was always under the control of the Master of Primordial Yi.
But...
They were unwilling!
They were already so close to success.
Just when they attacked the Gate of Cause and Effect, they had already suppressed the authority of the Master of Primordial Yi. If they had continued in the original way to breach the Gate of Destiny, the Nine Great Sovereigns would have become the new saviors of the Chaotic Origin Realm, able to arbitrarily use the 'spiritual' power contributed by all wisdom beings and Immortal Spirits, thereby governing the Chaotic Origin Realm!
The chance of success was right in front of them, but the result...
Was shattered because the Destiny Dao Ancestor surrendered to the Master of Primordial Yi.
This was not the outcome they wanted.
And...
They did not acknowledge this outcome.
"Sovereigns! Please act according to the rules!"
The Master of Primordial Yi seemed to perceive something, his emitted spiritual fluctuations slightly intensified: "When you possess the capability to make more efficient decisions, I will fully cooperate with your actions, but now, we have a better option for merging with the Ancient Immortal Realm. The Destiny Dao Ancestor chose to merge with me voluntarily, handing over the Ancient Immortal Realm to me. Please cooperate with me in this endeavor."
The spiritual energies of the Nine Great Sovereigns interwove, communicating something unknown.
After a while, the Master of Creation spoke in a deep voice, "It's not that we aren't acting according to the rules, it's that… we don't trust the Destiny Dao Ancestor!"
"Then you should at least trust the choice of all living spirits."
The Master of Primordial Yi said.
"All living spirits could also be blinded by you, or rather, by the power of destiny!"
The spiritual fluctuations of the Master of Creation spread out, not just among the Nine Great Sovereigns, but also to all the surrounding Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, making them aware: "We will persist with the combat plan to eradicate the Gate of Destiny. I believe that the Master of Primordial Yi has been infiltrated by the power of the Destiny Dao Ancestor to some extent. To some extent, His decisions no longer simply represent the Chaotic Origin Realm!"
"I agree with the Master of Creation!"
Lord Tianyuan immediately said: "Under the influence of the Destiny Dao Ancestor, the Master of Primordial Yi might make decisions that betray the Chaotic Origin Realm. For safety's sake, I propose that we temporarily revoke the control of all spiritual power and computing power from the Master of Primordial Yi!"
"Agreed!"
"Shenluo supports this proposal!"
"The Master of Primordial Yi and the Destiny Dao Ancestor are currently merging, indistinguishable from each other, inevitably influenced by it. It is indeed necessary to revoke their control over the spirituality of all beings! Brahma supports this!"
"Just by following the procedure, we could have seized the ultimate victory, yet the Master of Primordial Yi chose to do otherwise, making it hard not to harbor doubts! I agree to revoke the Master of Primordial Yi's control over the spirituality and computing power of all beings!"
"Twilight agrees!"
The Nine Great Sovereigns, one after another, quickly made their statements.
At an unbelievably fast pace.
Alkaid was completely astounded upon hearing this.
Is this really happening? The Master of Primordial Yi is currently in a decisive battle with the Destiny Dao Ancestor, and you want to revoke his control over the spirituality and computing power of all beings?
The Nine Great Sovereigns ignored Alkaid, along with any similar shock felt by other Immortal Spirits.
After making their statements, the leader who proposed this, Lord Tianyuan, immediately continued: "Now, all wisdom beings and Immortal Spirits of the Nine Major Groups, heed my command! Withdraw your contributed spirituality and computing power from the 'Public Zone'!"
Saying this, the Sovereign paused slightly: "Also, I call upon all wisdom beings and Immortal Spirits of the Chaotic Origin Realm, withdraw your contributed spiritual power to avoid being utilized by the Destiny Dao Ancestor! Until we eliminate the Gate of Destiny and the situation is settled, then we can regather a new collective will of all beings!"
What do you think?
