Ye Futian lowered his head and glanced at the ground with piercing eyes. Being sieged multiple times by the forces of the Nine Realms and surviving until this very day had not been easy for him. One could consider him extremely lucky.
They wanted to end things up with just an apology. Did they think they could get away with it so easily?
He looked at the powerhouses and said loudly, “Many times, you tried to kill me and destroy the Heavenly Mandate Academy. The grudge between us concerns life and death and will be lifted only when there is one side left. Now, you wish to solve this grudge with a single apology. Do you think it’s possible?”
The rumbling voice reverberated across the void. In and out of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the hearts of many shuddered in fear.
Everybody understood that it was certainly impossible. No one across the Nine Realms was unaware of this feud. If it were not for the support Ye Futian received from his many allies and the little bit of innate luck he had, he would have been dead a very long time ago. It would be the same for the Heavenly Mandate Academy, which had been raided several times.
The Divine Palace had been disbanded due to the war back then. Although their main enemies were the Shen Clan and the Golden Divine Nation, the other major forces participated in the battle as well. It was only natural that in order to resolve the issue, a great price had to be paid.
For Ye Futian to have summoned them this time, he probably already had an idea in mind.
“On this very day, the Original Realm is in chaos, and cultivators in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path are now facing a great calamity. We should not have stirred up civil strife. The incident back then was our fault, and we, too, know that this hatred cannot be easily resolved. If you have any requests, you may present them to us. If it is within the boundaries of my power, I will strive to accomplish it,” Jian Ao said.
Ye Futian glanced at Jian Ao with contempt. Jian Ao was the College Chief of Tianshen Academy. Across the entire Original Realm, he could be considered one of the few figures standing at the pinnacle of power. Being able to do so was already a humble move from him. However, Ye Futian knew that Jian Ao was only putting on an act.
Initially, there had been no grudge between him and Jian Ao. In fact, Ye Futian might have even owed him something. After all, he had cultivated for quite some time at Tianshen Academy. When Jian Ao participated in the battle in the name of righteousness, the unpredictability and profoundness of the human mind could be seen.
In comparison, Jian Ao’s descendent, Jian Qingzhu, had a completely different personality.
“Alright then.” Ye Futian did not hesitate. Immediately, he nodded his head and agreed to his proposal. That, however, left Jian Ao with a strange expression, but it quickly returned to normal. He had already guessed that Ye Futian had an idea of his own and a plan on how to deal with them.
The reason he gathered the forces of the Original Realm was to announce his decision, and whoever was against it would probably be killed on the spot.
“Just like what College Chief Jian said, the world is now in chaos. The arrival of various forces has threatened the safety of the Nine Realms and even the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. We, as cultivators of the Original Realm, must unite to repel this catastrophe. If not, I dare not imagine what will happen in the future.” Ye Futian continued, “Your sense of righteousness is profound, College Chief Jian. Since that’s the case, I will get straight to the point. In the name of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, I call on the forces of the Nine Realms to ally. Together, we will ward off the Outer Realm’s invasion and cruise through this orderless age.”
At the vast venue, the inner hearts of the aces shuddered when they heard Ye Futian’s words. They came to understand Ye Futian’s thoughts. In fact, most of them did in advance.
Ye Futian wanted to unify the Original Realm into one single force.
What’s more, based on the current state of affairs, should all forces be unified, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would get to exert absolute dominance over the rest. The aces were about to fall under the reins of his power.
Many were gossiping. Ye Futian looked at the crowd. On the side, all the people were top figures. Behind him were aces of the Ziwei Imperial Palace. Now, the power around Ye Futian was already enough to sweep the Original Realm.
Under such circumstances, who would be bold enough to defy him? What’s more, those forces that went against him in the past owed him their lives. If they disobeyed and he proceeded to kill them, no one would have said a thing.
Ye Futian continued, “From today onward, with the Heavenly Mandate Academy at the core, the Nine Realms shall come together as a massive alliance. The Mountain Realm will be placed under the control of the Tianxian Temple. Forces of the Mountain Realm, you must regard the Tianxian Temple as your leader.”
Previously, Ye Futian asked for the opinion of Tianxian Temple’s Master Pudu, and the master had expressed his willingness to assist him. Since that was the case, Ye Futian could proceed to do anything with his heart at ease. The Original Realm must come together as a formidable force. They may spare the lives of their previous enemies, but they must be placed under control and receive direct orders from the Heavenly Mandate Academy. If not, what would be the use of him keeping them alive? To keep them as future enemies?
“Secondly, the Divine Palace will be reconstructed at the Higher Heavens Realm’s Sea of the Path. The power hierarchy in the Higher Heavens Realm will be reformed, and all forces must obey the orders issued by the Divine Palace,” Ye Futian continued. For every subsequent realm, they must be placed under the control of his close allies.
Most certainly, right now, of the Nine Realms, only half of them remained. The Hidden Land Realm, Ziwei Realm, and Shadow Realm were mostly destroyed, and the Solar Realm was controlled by the Sun God Mountain.
In reality, the Nine Realms was no longer what it used to be.
“The same goes for the Myriad Realm. The Heavenly Mandate Academy will send our men there to construct a new faction. All forces of the Myriad Realm will be placed under our direct control and will have to listen to our dispatchers for orders.”
Now that the Ziwei Realm was destroyed, the Dou tribe could be relocated to the Myriad Realm. Besides, some forces such as the Millet Emperor’s might be dispatched to help them exert more control and deter the others in the Myriad Realm.
When the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng arrived at the Original Realm, they told him that they planned to stop and cultivate in the Original Realm for a period of time. When things changed in the future, they would head toward the Donghua Domain for revenge.
“At last, forces of the Central Emperor Realm will be completely reorganized. Jiao Ao will longer be Tianshen Academy’s College Chief. Emperor Nan of the Nantian Divine Kingdom will join Tianshen Academy and assume the position of College Chief. He would take charge of Tianshen Academy and cultivate the future power of the Central Emperor Realm. Meanwhile, the Xiao and Yuanyang clans of the Nantian Divine Kingdom will join Tianshen Academy to assist Emperor Nan and govern the Central Emperor Realm. All resources gathered are to be amassed at Tianshen Academy and be distributed under their jurisdiction. Besides, the most powerful youth of all forces must be sent to Tianshen Academy for training.” Ye Futian continued, “These are just temporary placements. The specifics will be made known to all of you later, and all forces must cooperate.
“At the same time, the teleportation grand matrixes that connect to the Heavenly Mandate Academy will be built across the Nine Realms, allowing reinforcements to be dispatched at any time across the Nine Realms.”
Ye Futian’s voice resounded through the void. He looked at powerhouses and asked, “Any objections?”
As soon as his voice fell, the vast space plummeted into silence. Extracting the firewood from under the cauldron… It was a decisive move to replace Jian Ao directly with Emperor Nan and better Tianshen Academy and all forces at the Central Emperor Realm. This time, the changes in the Original Realm were mainly focused on the Central Emperor Realm.
Not only did he have his own people manage the academy, but the academy was also granted the privilege to directly take whatever resources from various forces and control their most promising youth within the faction’s boundaries!
