As soon as Elder Long spoke, even the faces of the Divine Clan relatives changed, staring at Elder Long in shock.
"You want me to command the Dark War?" Long Chen shook his head and said,
"That's impossible. If I command it, the Dan Valley, the Xuan Beast clan, the ancient clans, the evil path, and the Ancient Family Alliance will immediately rebel."
Are you kidding? If Long Chen took command, Dan Valley and the others would immediately go mad. Wouldn't Long Chen just play them to death?
Elder Long laughed, "You're overthinking it. The Dark War is divided into several battlefields, and you can only be responsible for one war zone."
Of course, if you truly command excellently and act impartially, then being the overall commander is not impossible.
However, that depends on your personal ability. Besides, you haven't said it yet—will you agree to this adjustment? Long
Chen knew that the Divine Clan were all shrewd and calculating people. By doing this, they could both bribe Long Chen and appease forces like Dan Valley.
As for the so-called chief commander, that was just a peach on paper, far away. Long Chen had never considered such a thing.
However, the Ancient Essence Blood and the Star Domain Divine Realm deeply moved Long Chen; both were extremely important to the Dragon Blood Legion.
"If I agree, then I want to know if someone is behind us?" Long Chen said in a deep voice.
Right now, everyone is desperately trying to break through their realms. If beings like Dan Xianzi, Kunpengzi, or Tian Xiezi break through Tongming, while the Dragon Blood Legion hasn't yet grown and is caught off guard, that would be terrifying.
Elder Long said, "Actually, our decision was made with the situation of the entire continent in mind.
Now, the righteous path, the evil path, the Dan Valley, the mysterious beasts, the ancient clans, the Ancient Family Alliance, and all the major powers are desperately seeking breakthroughs. In reality, this is a vicious competition.
To comprehend life and death cannot be rushed; if your foundation is unstable, forcing it will only lead you astray.
Even if one's realm is stable, how can one achieve comprehension of life and death overnight? Even after comprehending life and death, one still needs to maintain a steady mindset, keeping a heart as calm as still water to break through to the Netherworld.
Nowadays, all geniuses rush forward desperately. This is a major taboo in cultivation, because everyone feels their lives are threatened and have no choice but to fight desperately.
This is actually an invisible disaster for the Tianwu Continent. Who knows how many geniuses will die at this checkpoint.
So, I'm here this time to hope everyone stops fighting among themselves. If you accept our Divine Clan's proposal, we will immediately issue the Celestial God Order.
If any force dares to attack the Dragonblood Legion, they will be slain with all our divine clan's full force—no mercy.
Of course, during the Divine Order period, your Dragonblood Legion cannot attack other forces unless you have a valid reason and must pass the Divine Clan's review before attacking.
In fact, this is a form of protection for the entire continent. This way, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, not have to push themselves so hard, and steadily improve steadily. Hearing
Elder Long say this, Long Chen immediately felt much more at ease. With the Divine Clan guaranteeing that everyone would enter a truce, it would be good for everyone.
Although Liu Ruyan had already mastered the life-and-death intent of the Yin-Yang Immortal Herb, it would take over twelve thousand Dragon Blood warriors to fully comprehend it. This would definitely take a long time, and breaking through Tongming would still put them at a disadvantage.
If the Divine Clan could give everyone a moment's rest, it would be very powerful for Long Chen, but the Dragonblood Legion needed more time.
After pondering for a moment, Long Chen said, "To be honest, this proposal is very tempting, but there's one problem: if the other side has a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert like you, we definitely won't be able to resist." Elder
Long smiled and said, "You can rest assured about that. If a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert takes action, our Divine Clan will naturally intervene. However, your worries are unnecessary."
Even if the imperial seal is unsealed, the lingering imperial might remains, and the strongest dares not approach; otherwise, the lingering imperial might will still destroy it.
The ones you're facing are mainly blood clan members at the Mingxing Realm. Tongming Realm experts can account for at most thirty percent, and their cultivation is definitely below the third step of the Tongming Realm.
However, I want to remind you, the blood clan also has strong warriors. They don't judge by talent, but by bloodline. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the combat power, and the stronger the divine power. Moreover, their numbers are overwhelming, making this a tough battle. "
Thank you for the reminder, senior,"
Long Chen cupped his fists slightly. After talking for so long, Long Chen felt that Elder Long wasn't a bad person.
Although his face was a bit stiff and his air of aloofness, perhaps a habit formed from long periods of high status, it was understandable.
Elder Long suddenly transmitted his voice: "Actually, your Dragonblood Legion's battle is mostly for show. We require the Dragonblood Legion to fight alone, but we don't limit your numbers. Do you understand?" Long
Chen looked at the smile on Elder Long's face and couldn't help but feel delighted. Elder Long was secretly reminding him that cheating was allowed.
If you feel the pressure is too great, you can just use a few small tricks, like hiring people on the spot.
Recruit all your friends and just one sentence: If I join the Dragonblood Legion, I'll become one of them. Who can do anything to him? Long Chen didn't break the rules; he was using people from the Dragonblood Legion.
"Thank you."
This time, Long Chen sincerely thanked him, which would secure his invincibility.
Elder Long smiled slightly and said, "So, you've already agreed?" "
Yes, such a good opportunity, he must have agreed. Elder Long, you have worked hard all along. I, Long Chen, am deeply grateful. If I get the chance, I will surely repay you." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
With Elder Long's reminder, Long Chen was essentially owing him a great favor. However, since Elder Long was using soul transmission, he clearly didn't want those divine clan relatives to overhear. Long Chen subtly indicated that he remembered this favor.
"In that case, I'll go back and issue the Divine Order. You should prepare early. I wish you a triumphant start in this battle." Elder Long stood up and said to Long Chen.
"I'll do my best, kid."
Long Chen also stood up and escorted Elder Long and his group out of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan.
Sure enough, the Divine Clan was extremely efficient. The next day, all the major powers received the Divine Order Banner.
The Divine Clan announced that Long Chen would agree to guard the Yin-Yang Realm alone for three days when the Imperial Seal was broken to appease the people's anger.
From now on, for the next six months, no faction is allowed to attack Long Chen or the Dragon Blood Legion, or else it would be a violation of the Divine Order, openly opposing the Divine Clan.
During this period, all sides enter a truce. If there are conflicts, they can be submitted to the Divine Clan for review and mediation. If reconciliation fails, they may only attack with the Divine Clan's consent.
When the Divine Order was issued, the previously silent Tianwu Continent instantly became lively, and countless geniuses who had been in seclusion emerged.
It was as if they were suffocating underground, finally having a chance to catch their breath. In an instant, the major cities became bustling with activity, a mix of dragons and snakes. Although conflicts were constant, no one dared to kill recklessly.
Even assassins from the Blood Killing Hall dared to walk in broad daylight, and even righteous and evil cultivators could share tables and curse at each other.
The issuance of the
Divine Decree instantly eased people's tense nerves, because in such a tense atmosphere, no one could relax—frankly, everyone was afraid.
Long Chen feared they would advance to Tongming and attack the Dragon Blood Legion, while other factions also feared Long Chen would advance first and wipe them out one by one.
Long Chen gave the Dragon Blood Legion a break and let them roam around to relieve their tense nerves.
When Qu Jianying heard the news, she was startled. After personally asking Long Chen for details, she finally felt relieved. Knowing that Elder Long valued Long Chen so much and even secretly warned him, Qu Jianying felt a weight lifted from her heart. What she feared most was Long Chen opposing the Divine Clan.
Long Chen gave the Dragon Blood Legion a holiday. In fact, almost all the genius disciples across the continent were released, like prisoners out for a walk, all coming out to relax. The Tianwu Continent was currently experiencing the most lively period in history.
At the Tianwu Grand Assembly, the four elders of the Divine Clan completely intimidated everyone. No one dared to oppose the Divine Clan. With their established rules, everyone was now very safe.
Nowadays, the most talked-about topic is that Long Chen accepting to guard the Yin-Yang Realm alone, which has become the focus of public opinion.
At the same time, people speculated that Long Chen could finally no longer bear the pressure and had no choice but to bow to forces like the Divine Clan and Dan Valley.
You have to understand, resisting the blood clan army from the Yin-Yang Realm would be a brutal bloody battle. The first wave of their assault would be unprecedented—let alone three days—even just one day might not be enough to withstand it.
Many strong warriors spoke up for the Dragonblood Legion, but there was nothing they could do, because this matter was already settled and couldn't be changed.
While the news was spreading, Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang showed up. At that time, only Long Chen, Guo Ran, and Xia Chen remained in the entire Dragon Blood Legion; they were busy refining pills, forging weapons, and making formation plates.
"Are you crazy?" How could I agree? How is this any different from courting death? We're all on your side. If you disagree, the Divine Clan can't do anything to you. Seeing Long Chen, Beitang Rushuang snapped angrily, her chest trembling with anger, making Long Chen feel dizzy and disillusioned.
Seeing that Long Chen was still in the mood to stare at her, Beitang Rushuang was even more furious, looking as if she wanted to give Long Chen a good beating.
"Long Chen, you really were a bit reckless this time. The Great Dark Age—it's called the Dark Age because of that endless army from another world, making it impossible to see a glimmer of light or hope." Nangong Zuiyue looked at Long Chen and sighed as well.
Although they all knew Long Chen's combat power was terrifying, the Dragonblood Legion would suffer heavy losses after this battle. This was not what they wanted to see. They came over and saw if there was any way to make amends.
Long Chen was moved. On the Tianwu Continent, he still had a few friends who could stand by his side at critical moments.
Long Chen smiled and subtly expressed Elder Long's intentions, and Beitang Rushuang and Nangong Zuiyue's eyes immediately lit up.
"Alright, I'll bring my people with me when the time comes. But remember, we can't skip the dividends we share." Beitang Rushuang immediately changed her tone and set her sights on the Primordial Essence Blood.
"It's just a matter of a word. Even if you don't come, I'll have to cry and beg Fairy Rushuang for help." Long Chen said with a smile.
If he really couldn't hold out, the Tianwu Alliance, the Nangong family, and the Beitang family would become his second line of defense. Long Chen was absolutely confident he could hold it.
After Beitang Rushuang and Nangong Zuiyue left, Long Chen continued his busy work. Time flew by, and after a month and a half, the Dragon Blood Legion regrouped once again.
