Chapter 219 Go to the Origin Realm and Crush Them!
"Don't think that just because you've obtained the power of reincarnation, you can rule the world. Your cultivation level is completely inadequate. The two Celestial Venerables you brought back are considered quite good in the Immortal Realm, but they are nothing to the Origin Realm."
Yongqing looked at Li Lan coldly, with a faint sense of superiority, and said, "One should know one's place!"
Clearly, even though the Ancient War Alliance was founded by the cat, Li Lan doesn't seem to be highly respected within the alliance!
They acknowledged Li Lan's status as the Lord of Reincarnation, but felt that Li Lan was unworthy of the authority of reincarnation!
"Have you figured out your own position?"
Before Li Lan could speak, Bai Chen Tianzun spoke in a deep voice, saying, "Does Your Excellency think that you are more noble than the Lord of Reincarnation?!"
His aura had already been subtly released.
Jin Moya, standing nearby, also gave Yongqing a cold look.
The two of them were completely devoted to Li Lan, so how could they tolerate Yongqing's arrogance and superiority over Li Lan?
Yongqing's expression changed slightly. Could it be that these two actually dared to attack him?
"All right."
At this moment, the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Yongqing has overstepped his bounds and must not be repeated!"
Yongqing was terrified of Zhanmeng Tianzun and immediately dared not say anything more. He snorted coldly and shut his mouth. Then, Zhanmeng Tianzun looked at Li Lan and said, "Come with us to the Origin Realm."
Li Lan immediately asked, "What exactly happened in the Origin Realm? Where is the White Emperor now?"
Zhanmeng Tianzun frowned and said, "You don't need to know about these things for now."
It's like he's too lazy to talk to Li Lan!
"Come walk with me for a bit. I haven't been back in a long time, and I'd like to do some shopping."
At this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and stepped forward, naturally taking Li Lan's hand. Li Lan didn't say anything more and went with her to the Land of a Thousand Rivers.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, a dark glint flashed in Yongqing's eyes once more. He couldn't help but look at Zhanmeng Tianzun and say, "Could it be that we really have to acknowledge him as the leader of the War Alliance?!"
"In terms of strength, there are many people in the alliance who are stronger than him. In terms of seniority, countless senior experts have followed the White Emperor, the Black Emperor, or even that person in battle! In terms of karma, my brother cultivates that person's method. Once he emerges from seclusion, he can sweep across the world!"
"The White Emperor is foolish to have chosen such a living being as him. How can he lead the War Alliance? On what grounds?"
"Even the White Emperor herself is in dire straits now, so the person she chooses may not necessarily be the best..."
From the day that the cycle of reincarnation appeared and alarmed the Origin Realm, there have been many voices of resentment within the Ancient War Alliance.
After all, many in the Ancient War Alliance consider themselves the inheritors of that will!
The Ancient War Alliance had long coveted the reincarnation authority, and like the Alien Alliance, they had cultivated many "seeds of reincarnation" in preparation for inheriting it.
But the White Emperor didn't choose any of them, giving this opportunity to Li Lan instead.
How could they not resent it?
"He was chosen by the White Emperor, and that's enough."
Zhanmeng Tianzun spoke calmly: "Don't forget, without that person, without the Black and White Emperors, there would be no Ancient War Alliance."
"The White Emperor must have had her reasons for choosing this person. Now, all we need to do is bring Li Lan back safely, nothing more."
"As for whether he can lead the Ancient War Alliance and whether he is competent for the position of Alliance Leader... that's not something you or I can comment on, do you understand?"
Yongqing said in a deep voice, "Is the White Emperor necessarily right?"
"If this person is not capable enough to lead the Ancient War Alliance and cannot gain everyone's approval, then the reincarnation authority... should be handed over."
……
"The scenery is much better."
Wander freely through the land of a thousand rivers, where the water plants are lush and green, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and undulating, and cranes are the preferred places to roost and dance. There are also rare herbs and medicinal plants everywhere.
Compared to the devastated fairyland of today, this place is truly like a paradise.
The two walked up a mountain peak. It was here that Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to say goodbye to Li Lan when she insisted on marrying the True Dragon Clan.
Later, this place became a forbidden mountain in the land of a thousand rivers, and no one except the clan leader was allowed to approach it.
The scenery remains the same.
"The White Emperor led us back to the Origin Realm and to the Ancient War Alliance."
Gazing into the distance, Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "Later, she went to a secret place, while the Great Sage Mingfeng and I stayed in the alliance to cultivate."
"Originally, the White Emperor's return was awe-inspiring, and even if the alliance had any opinions about you, they wouldn't dare to express them."
"But later, for some reason, she cut off all contact with the outside world, and even the soul lamp enshrined in the clan went out inexplicably... Many people speculated that Sister Cat might have had an accident in the secret place."
"Too much time has passed, and there are too many factions and forces within the Ancient War Alliance. Therefore, without Sister Cat's suppression, many voices have arisen, especially now that you have become the new Lord of Reincarnation,"
She smiled, stopped, looked at Li Lan, and asked first, "How does it feel to have the entire Immortal Realm as your enemy?"
Li Lan laughed and said, "Like the wind passing over the mountain ridge, like waves crashing against the rocks, nothing more than that."
From beginning to end, Li Lan truly never cared whether the people of the world respected him or hated him.
It doesn't matter.
"That's not bad. This way, you might be able to adapt better to the situation where the entire Origin Realm is your enemy."
She smiled.
Li Lan: "..."
"You should know that all the beings in the Origin Realm are actually the deceased from various historical timelines. They were incredibly powerful in life, and after transforming into bizarre beings, they become even more unfathomable... And there is a legend in the Origin Realm,"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "No matter who it is, as long as they obtain the power of reincarnation, they can cross the dam at the end of the Black Sea, enter the source, see the truth, and prove eternity."
"The bizarre creatures are a twisted product. They possess consciousness and the ability to think, but they can hardly experience the joys and sorrows of flesh and blood. They are born between heaven and earth, yet they cannot feel a heartbeat or blood... In a sense, they are nothing more than vengeful spirits."
Therefore, no strange creature is truly willing to live its entire life in a strange state.
"But if you want to escape this strange fate, there are only two paths: one is to become a living being again, and the other... is to cross the dam and break free from the shackles of destiny!"
She sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Tianbai and the others' attitude towards flesh and blood beings is the same as the attitude of the Origin Realm."
Even though Tian Bai and the others were reborn as flesh and blood beings, they still regarded the various forbidden races and human forces as ants and livestock. In fact, their main goal was to seize reincarnation.
Therefore, nobody wants to choose the first option!
After all, these strange creatures are also born from flesh and bones. In their view, flesh and blood are weak and cannot reach the eternal shore.
Therefore, all living beings in the Source Realm naturally pursue the second path—the pursuit of eternity and eternal proof in the Source.
Li Lan suddenly remembered what the big black dog had said: The entire Origin Realm is a tool used by the Origin to hinder Li Lan!
That being obscured space and time, preventing the source from directly interfering with everything in this world, and so... the floating corpses in the entire Black Sea of Death transformed into bizarre creatures, and the Origin Realm was born!
All that's needed at the source is to drive these bizarre creatures to seize power.
No matter how strong Li Lan is, can he suppress the strongest beings in countless historical timelines?
Even if he were truly exceptionally talented, he would be suffocating in this situation.
"That's why the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable was so displeased with you exposing yourself... The new Lord of Reincarnation is already coveted by the world, and you're still so swaggering around. It's unimaginable how many enemies you'll attract."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "To be honest, she is actually one of the factions that are very loyal to the White Emperor. However, even they have doubts about you. They doubt whether you can live up to the White Emperor's cultivation, whether you can uphold the banner of the Ancient War Alliance, and whether you can lead them to embark on the ancient journey again."
"Furthermore, there are many more people who see you as a thief who stole power, who believe you are merely a relative of the White Emperor, and who think you are unworthy of possessing the power of reincarnation..."
Li Lan smiled and said, "In that case, this Origin Realm... truly is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, fraught with danger, and is truly frightening."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "You're afraid of something? Come to think of it, since the day I met you, when have you ever faced a life-or-death crisis? When have you ever been in a den of dragons or tigers, and yet you've always made it through unscathed?"
She paused, her smile fading slightly, and stared intently at Li Lan, saying each word clearly, "Go to the Origin Realm and crush them!"
There was a steadfast light in her eyes—trust and expectation!
Li Lan suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, let's go to the Origin Realm and crush them!"
……
In the aftermath of the great catastrophe of alienation, several major events occurred in the world!
First, the Celestial Court and many forbidden races and human forces, along with Tianbai, the Ancestor of the True Dragon, and others, "ascended" away from the Celestial Realm and embarked on the Gray Mist Road.
This caused a global uproar and drew widespread condemnation!
"Damn the Celestial Court! They took advantage of us, wiped their mouths, and left to enjoy themselves in the Origin Realm!"
"They're shameless! They always used to preach that it was for the entire Immortal Realm, for everyone's well-being, and that everyone should be dedicated and willing to sacrifice. But what happened? We were all the price, we all sacrificed ourselves. Our sacrifice made everything possible for them! These beasts talk about sacrificing for the Immortal Realm, but in reality, they're just preparing to go to the Origin Realm!"
"Shameless!"
The surviving beings of the celestial realm were all chilled to the bone, and their curses never ceased.
But it was of no use.
After the Celestial Court and many other powerful forces left, the Celestial War Alliance suddenly emerged!
The Immortal War Alliance has a population of six to seven million, almost all of whom are based on the original pro-war faction. It brings together a small number of clear-headed people in the Immortal Realm. Now that the Immortal Court has left with the major forces, it has given the Immortal War Alliance room to develop.
The Immortal War Alliance quickly occupied the famous mountains and forbidden areas left behind by various forces, and at the same time, spread its teachings throughout the world!
Li Lan personally compiled the three Mingzun techniques—Sun, Moon and Stars Technique, Sky-Splitting Technique, and Earth-Establishing Technique—along with the True Dragon Technique and the Sky-Mending Technique, into a book and distributed it widely throughout the world. Even the White Tiger Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc Clan repented and passed down their clan's secret techniques.
In the end, the Immortal War Alliance passed down a total of ten cultivation methods!
"Only in turbulent times can true heroes be revealed!"
"Although this world is dark, there are always people moving forward silently and constantly making amends. Li Lan has been misunderstood far too many times!"
"The Immortal War Alliance... is the true savior of the Immortal Realm!"
The surviving creatures all gathered under the command of the Immortal War Alliance, rebuilding their homes and cultivating frantically. After the chaos, they presented a thriving scene.
Great chaos is followed by great order!
In an instant, the world turned to him, and people called Li Lan "the Sage of Man" and "the Immortal Lord."
Within the Qianchuanyuan Clan, Zhu Xianchou, Li Yue, Liu Ziwen, and others travel the world and are revered as Dharma Transmitters. While spreading the Dharma in all directions, they are also spreading another kind of value and concept: everyone is like a dragon!
"We are forbidden from kneeling before the Dharma Transmitter, and we are forbidden from building any temples or statues for Immortal Master Li... Isn't this a bit too inhumane? He saved us!"
