Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: The Founding of the Alliance of Gods
"Thereâs no issue with joining forces."
The Ancient Emperor waved his hand. "However, your Myriad Clans must obey my command."
His tone was calm.
It was like he was stating an ordinary fact, or issuing an order, rather than discussing the matter.
"How domineering!"
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar felt his heart sink.
Though he wanted to object, he knew full well that the Ancient Emperorâs strength was terrifying. Even if all the Clan Leaders of the Myriad Clans joined forces, they would not be a match for the Ancient Emperor.
Obeying the Ancient Emperorâs command was unavoidable.
Considering this.
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar said, "If itâs just obeying your command, Ancient Emperor, I donât see a problem. I can speak on behalf of the other Clan Leaders to agree."
"That will do."
The Ancient Emperor nodded. "Since we are joining forces, we can consider ourselves allies. And for a union, there must be a resounding name."
"Please let the Ancient Emperor decide the name of the alliance."
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar cupped his hands and said respectfully.
"Letâs call it âThe Alliance of Gods,â then!" The Ancient Emperor said casually. "I will serve as the Alliance Hierarch, and you ten Clan Leaders will be Vice Alliance Hierarchs."
"Agreed." The Thunder Emperorâs avatar nodded.
The position of Vice Alliance Hierarch was subordinate to the Alliance Hierarch. However, as long as the Ancient Emperor remained silent, publicly, the Alliance of Gods would still follow the command of the ten Vice Alliance Hierarchs.
This arrangement was acceptable.
"What about us?"
The Ming Emperor and the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor simultaneously opened their eyes, looking toward the Ancient Emperor and asking expectantly.
"Do you wish to join the Alliance of Gods as well?"
The Ancient Emperor asked with interest.
"Naturally!"
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor nodded together.
They had already reached the point of no return with Ye Feng, who was backed by the Nantian Sword Emperor and possibly even the Spirit Venerable. Facing such formidable enemies, they needed a strong enough sanctuary to protect themselves.
And the Ancient Emperor was the ultimate power they sought.
This robust support must be embraced tightly!
"Eighth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, tenth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realmâyour strengths are not bad, but compared to the ten Clan Leaders, youâre still somewhat lacking."
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar said indifferently.
Facing the Ancient Emperor, his attitude was sincereâthat was because the Ancient Emperor was truly too powerful.
But as for the Ming Emperor and Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor? What were they?
These two could join the Alliance of Gods, but they absolutely were unqualified to become Vice Alliance Hierarchs.
"This..."
The Ming Emperor and Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor exchanged glances, their expressions awkward and displeased, yet they dared not lose their temper.
The Thunder Emperorâs avatarâs words were factual.
Compared to the ten Clan Leaders, their strength was indeed slightly inferior.
"No problem!"
The Ancient Emperor waved his hand. "Within the Alliance of Gods, aside from the supreme Alliance Hierarch and the ten Vice Alliance Hierarchs, there should be an Enforcement Hall to oversee the members of the alliance. The Hall Master will be the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, and the Ming Emperor will serve as Deputy Hall Master."
"Many thanks, Ancient Emperor!"
"Many thanks, Alliance Hierarch!"
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with joy, grins spreading wide.
One as the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, the other as its Deputy Hall Masterâthey may have been below the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarchs, but they still wielded considerable authority.
"Enforcement Hall Hall Master!"
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar looked at the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor. Seeing the joyous expressions on their faces, he discreetly frowned.
He realized something.
The Ancient Emperor intended to use the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor to check and balance part of the Myriad Clansâ power, ensuring internal equilibrium within the Alliance of Gods, preventing the dominance of any single faction.
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar kept silent about this.
Even the Myriad Clans were no monolith.
A temporarily structured Alliance of Gods was bound to contain internal conflicts and divisionsâa reality that necessitated the Enforcement Hall to maintain internal balance.
"Disciples!"
The Ancient Emperor spoke again.
"Your disciple is present!"
Situ Ding, Shangguan Shenyu, and others knelt on one knee, respectfully cupping their hands toward the Ancient Emperor.
"You will serve as Enforcement Emissaries, assisting the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor in managing the Enforcement Hall."
The Ancient Emperor declared loudly.
"Your disciple obeys!"
Situ Ding and the others responded in unison.
On the ground.
The Ming Emperor and Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor exchanged glances, the corners of their mouths twitching. Privately, they thought the Ancient Emperor didnât fully trust them; otherwise, Situ Ding and the others wouldnât have been assigned to their Enforcement Hall.
"The Alliance of Gods will temporarily be arranged in this manner."
The Ancient Emperor sat in his seat. "Disciples, take Vice Alliance Hierarch Thunder Emperor to inspect the current status of the Myriad Clans."
"Yes."
Situ Ding nodded, then turned to the Thunder Emperorâs avatar, gesturing with a "please" motion. "Vice Alliance Hierarch, please follow me."
"Alright, Iâll trouble you to lead the way."
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar nodded.
At this moment, he felt content.
When he learned that the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor were appointed Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, his mood had soured.
But shortly thereafter.
Upon hearing about Situ Ding and the Ancient Emperorâs disciples serving as Enforcement Emissaries, and seeing the frustrated expressions on the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperorâs faces, the Thunder Emperorâs mood gradually improved.
Whizz!
The group took to the skies.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
At the summit of the fifth layer of the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Only the Ancient Emperor, Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, and Ming Emperor remained, seated and sipping tea carefully.
"Ancient Emperor, thank you!"
The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor raised his teacup. "Were it not for the Alliance of Gods taking us in, our injuries wouldnât have healed so quickly, nor would they have avoided permanent marks."
"Thank you, Ancient Emperor!"
The Ming Emperor also expressed gratitude.
"Thereâs no need for thanks among allies." The Ancient Emperor waved his hand, lifting a cup of Spiritual Tea and taking a small sip, his gaze drifting into the distance. "I hear Ye Feng possesses a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree. If only we could acquire it."
At those words, the eyes of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and Ming Emperor lit up.
If they could obtain the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, they could offer it to the Ancient Emperor, thereby enhancing their own standing in his eyes.
With this in mind.
The two began formulating ideas.
...
In the fifth layer of the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Within a large bustling city.
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar, Situ Ding, and others walked along the busy streets, occasionally spotting peculiar humanoid creatures.
Some were toweringly large, wielding enormous axes.
Those were members of the Mad Axe Tribe.
Others were slender, gripping bone spears.
They were Hunting Tribe members.
There were also figures covered entirely in vinesâtribespeople of the Demon Vine Tribe, their strength not insignificant, at least within the Divine Origin Realm.
And some beings were wrapped in lightning, snapping and crackling across their bodies as they walked.
"Our Thunder Tribeâs tribespeople are here as well!"
"Very good."
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar nodded, visibly pleased.
Within just one large city lived over a hundred thousand clansmen of the Myriad Clans, spanning hundreds of different tribes, each containing dozens to hundreds of individuals.
The next moment.
The Thunder Emperorâs Divine Sense extended outward, encompassing the entire fifth layer of the world, detecting hundreds of Supreme Saint-level auras from the Myriad Clans.
"Impressive!"
"Though todayâs Myriad Clans are far weaker than they once were, they still boast hundreds of Supreme Saints. All of this is thanks to the Ancient Emperor, correct?"
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar looked toward Situ Ding.
"Indeed."
Situ Ding nodded. "If not for the Ancient Emperor creating the Ancient Emperor Realm and establishing the Number One Divine Sect, where countless spacetime fissures are used to nurture the Ancient God Race and harvest their Bloodline Crystals, it would be impossible to cultivate so many Supreme Saints and Saints among the Myriad Clans."
"The Ancient God Race? What are they?"
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar showed interest.
"Theyâre the forerunners of the Myriad Clans, with a history even older than yours. The Ancient Emperorâs ancestor, the Ancestral Ancient, originated from the Ancient God Race."
Situ Ding said seriously.
"Oh?"
The Thunder Emperorâs curiosity deepened. "Could I see these Ancient God Race beings youâre raising?"
"Of course."
Situ Ding clapped his hands, and Xin You immediately retrieved an Ancient Order, shattering the void and leading the group into a spacetime fissure, arriving at a canyon world.
Looking down from above.
A massive canyon stretching across a million miles lay below, home to many Ancient God Race beings resembling members of the Bear Tribe. Each individual radiated with immense strength.
"I smell a thick essence of bloodline origin!"
The Thunder Emperorâs avatar sensed the aura from below and couldnât help but lick his lips.
