By the time the Nascent Soul Cultivators of Heavenly Jupiter arrived—
The entire Earth, the few nearby planets and countless Overlords from other planets were frightened by Chen Fan’s name.
Even the most arrogant Kindred and Mermen races had given in. Heavenly Lord Anpo—who had said that he would avenge his disciples and take back his friend’s Northern Dipper Sword Array—became friendly again and never talked about revenge anymore. He even claimed that what had happened between him and the North Qiong Sect was just a misunderstanding. He had made a mistake about the sword array; it was definitely not the Northern Dipper Sword Array.
They couldn’t blame him for backing out.
The news brought by Zhang Qihao and those from Heavenly Jupiter was too terrifying.
Chen Fan had defeated the six imperishable sects and destroyed Mount Emperor, making the entire Planet Tianhuang tremble under his feet. And then, even though there were almost a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators on Earth, Chen Fan might even see them as too few. Heavenly Lord Anpo and the Blood Ancestor of the Kindred were both weaker than Mount Emperor’s Divine Lord and Divine General Mangya. Under such circumstances, who would dare to provoke Chen Fan and the North Qiong Sect?
Even the first Blood Ancestor of the Kindred showed goodwill. He said he was there only to befriend Earth, not to put the North Qiong Sect in a difficult situation, also claiming that it had been the large sects in the Star Ocean who had asked the eight Dark Races to besiege the North Qiong Sect; they had nothing to do with it.
“We came to Planet East just to exchange cultivation experiences and establish a friendly relationship between our two planets. We didn’t mean to be hostile.” The Gold Clan, the Mermen and the Demon Tribe also spoke with kind and beaming smiles, one after the other. They would even help an old lady cross the street right then, forget about destroying cities.
“All hail Heavenly Lord Chen!”
On the other hand, Earth was truly thrilled.
Throughout the past decade, people on Earth had been living carefully and obsequiously in front of the alien races and cultivators from the Star Ocean. They feared that those incredibly powerful overlords from the universe would kill everyone on Earth if they angered them. After Chen Fan reappeared, even if the cultivators of the alien races destroyed a town or a city, the North Qiong Sect would go after them and demand for the ones responsible to be handed over, let alone if they killed everyone on Earth.
Some cultivators from other planets even said that Earth would become a top planet among the rest of the planets in the Abandoned Planet Region, second only to Planet Tianhuang. All thanks to Chen Fan’s rise.
How could people on Earth not be excited?
“Heavenly Lord Chen has really turned the tide and saved us. He’s indeed the backbone of the entire Earth and the human race, worthy of being called our savior.” Azure Dragon heaved a sigh.
He was the leader of Kunlun, the guardian of China after Ye Qincang had left. So, the word “savior” spoken from his mouth carried a lot of weight. Weibo, WeChat, Baidu and the CIA underground forum had already been flooded with posts from Chen Fan’s supporters. Not even Sacred Eye dared to say a word about Chen Fan at this moment. Otherwise, the supporters led by Zhu Xiaoque, would go after him until he left the forum.
“Indeed, there hasn’t been anyone on Planet East with the power to suppress the world, not since Divine Lord Jiang died a hundred thousand years ago. Who would have thought that Heavenly Lord Chen would be able to stand on the top of the planet and defeat Mount Emperor in a decade?” everyone of the Realm of Kunxu also commented.
Other people on Earth might not understand. They only knew Planet Tianhuang was strong.
Only the Deities of Kunxu knew by reading the old books that Heaven’s Equal had traveled across the universe to Planet Tianhuang, and how terrifying such a planet was. It was the center of the Abandoned Planet Region, a place that had been thriving since the ancient times. And yet, Chen Fan had suppressed them; it was a remarkable and horrifying feat. They wouldn’t have believed it if it wasn’t for the testimonies from Heavenly Jupiter, Planet Dark Mist and Planet Longya.
The brawny Fire Spirit King yelled, “Even Divine Lord Jiang died in the hands of Divine General Mangya; Heavenly Lord Chen killed him, so he might be as powerful as Divine Lord Jiang or more. I guess we should listen to the Ancestral Patriarchs from Heavenly Jupiter and start preparing the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony for Heavenly Lord Chen.”
“That’s right. We should call him Divine Lord Chen.” The Deities nodded.
Divine Lords!
There had been less than ten of these transcendent beings in the entire Abandoned Planet Region in the few hundred thousand years of history. They were cultivators who stood at the top like True Dragons and were rarely seen even in the Little South Heavenly Realm.
Unconsciously—
The Deities from Kunxu, the North Qiong Sect, the Chinese and the entire Internet had started calling Chen Fan “Divine Lord Chen.” Not even the cultivators from other planets dared to be disrespectful when they talked about Chen Fan. They lowered their voices, just like when they addressed someone superior.
The Sect Master of the Mieqing Sect cried and said, “Our Ancestral Masters watched Planet East decline for a hundred thousand years. And now, Divine Lord Chen finally appeared to help Planet East thrive again!”
Then—
The North Qiong Sect expanded again, all thanks to Chen Fan’s “Divine Lord” title. They rebuilt their destroyed divisions and branches, to later settle the scores with the cultivators from other planets who had attacked the North Qiong Sect.
Jiang Churan held the bronze sword, A’Xiu controlled the sword array and the demons like Mu Xiao and the Soul Eating Beast went alongside. The cultivators from Heavenly Jupiter, Planet Dark Mist, Planet Longya and Planet Zheyuan also followed them in fear.
In a heartbeat…
Those cultivators from other planets who had attacked the North Qiong Sect and also humans on Earth were ferreted out. Most of them were from the Dark Races and non-humans. They had been extremely vicious, often resorting to destroying cities and towns. The rest of the cultivators were humans after all, so they never went too far.
In Ocean City, a man with dark blue skin and green hair like seaweed widened his eyes and yelled, “I’m the Mermen’s Heavenly General under the Ancestral Patriarch. You can’t kill me!”
“Kill!” A’Xiu only shouted as a bright blade aura shot out from her back and split him in half. Since the beginning, the five Ancestral Patriarchs of the Mermen had never shown their faces. They only hid inside Ocean City, watching their own Heavenly General die.
Not only the Mermen.
The Gold Clan, the Demon Tribe, the Kindred, the Dark Wolves… All the alien races were being settled. They were at a disadvantage since the rest of the cultivators were frightened by Chen Fan and no longer dared to help them to face the North Qiong Sect. Even an Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan had been killed in the rainforest in South America by Jiang Churan because he had recently attacked the North Qiong Sect.
However, the North Qiong Sect didn’t kill them all. After all, Chen Fan wasn’t there. They were worried that those Dark Races and aliens would start slaughtering people on Earth on their last throes, so they left after killing some of their leaders.
The cultivators from other planets also laid low, while avoiding any provocative acts. Even Heavenly Lord Anpo and the first Blood Ancestor of the Kindred were all smiles during this time.
In a blink.
All races began to coexist peacefully; Earth had never been this peaceful before. Humans lived and worked in peace and contentment, as if they had returned to the era before the planet changed.
And yet, not long after.
The real crisis arrived.
An old battleship was sailing slowly across the universe.
The ship was a thousand feet long. Although it was scarred, covered with countless traces of attacks, it still carried a strange, vicious energy. There were a few thousand people on the ship. Each of them was a Golden Core Cultivator with a stable and strong power. There were also dozens of Nascent Soul elders, sitting cross-legged. Their eyes were full of silver glitter that astonished the world; none of them were weaker than the Blood Ancestor of the Kindred and Heavenly Lord Anpo.
The most terrifying of them was a young man standing at the bow with hands behind his back.
His hair was silver, and his body was surrounded by countless planets and chaos. Even though he didn’t show a hint of his energy, every move he made had the potential to make dimensions collapse and break Dharma Laws. A sun rising and a moon falling seemed to be contained in his eyes. He stood at the bow, while quietly looking at planet Earth. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, to clearly look at the ants and the people on Earth.
“They’re finally here,” a man said as he heaved a deep sigh.
On August 13th, 2027, Yi Qian, the third Divine Prince of the Wuji Sect in the Star Ocean, arrived on Earth with the vanguard of the Wuji Sect. The entire Earth was immediately in danger!
