"Congratulation to the Dao Opening Sect. Our world has a protector."
"Congratulation to Origin Fellow Daoist. We could not survive this situation without you."
"Congratulation. Now that the world is safe, I can rest easy. Now, I'll be leaving."
"I feel the same. The sect has many things I need to take care of."
"I hope much prosperity to the Dao Opening Sect. Now, I have to go supervise my son's cultivation."
One by one, the factions gave their congratulatory words before quickly leaving with one excuse after the other. Origin One did not say much besides nodding his head. He knew most of these people would plan on how to deal with this recent power shift, and many would even form secret alliances.
However, his act of revealing Sword One's power was calculated, and he expected this outcome.
'Let's go talk to Sword One.'
Emperor Enlightening Academy:
Headmaster Song Li ended the conversation, a deep frown on his face.
"What should we do now?" asked the teachers and Insurgent. In this generation, they technically did not have a Heaven Chosen. The situation was not looking too good for them, and their future was bleak.
"The best option is to use the Praying Altar. Only the founder can save us–or at least give us a survival chance," said Song Li after pondering for a while. Immediately, the Academy headed to a secret realm with an altar of Emperor Kong and prayed to it.
…
"You did a great job," commented Desolate One. However, Sword One shook her head, "Even with the array, I can barely equal that man; he's not any ordinary Immortal Sovereign; he 's not only powerful but also experienced."
"You shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself; you've only got to that level and are still adapting."
"He's right. All that matters is you have the strength to protect the sect," said Origin One, who had just arrived.
"I'm not. Anyways, I still have some room for growth."
"As long as you have the right mindset."
"Now that we have the strength, should we use a more aggressive approach when doing things?"
"No, our current model is fine. We must keep things calm until the kid proves the Dao," disagreed Origin One.
"Origin is correct," added Sword One. "Plus, we have to be more careful. After I reach this realm, I sense there might be some hidden Immortal Sovereign left in our plane."
"What? Seriously?"
"We did suspect this possibility. However, all information proved otherwise."
"My question is, why have they not shown up?"
"The ones I sensed seemer feeble, so I guess they are secretly healing," replied Sword One. "I'm also guessing some are hiding, sealed, or waiting for something."
Everyone became quiet, pondering the ramification of this news.
"We always knew the Myriad Emperor World was the most complicated," said Judgment One. "Since Eternals are hiding, why not Immortal Sovereign?"
"Forget about this for now," said Miscellaneous One. "The pending issue is those people who attacked us. We can theorize they were responsible for what happened to the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. But who are they exactly?"
Sword One took out one of her swords. "Glad you brought this up. I got some blood from him, hoping to find them through it." She handed it to Miscellaneous One, who observed it.
"I should find something." He connected to the sect's formation for his calculation, and as expected, there was an ungodly amount of resistance to calculating an Immortal Sovereign.
'Maybe the previous me could not do anything, but I've learned a great deal from the Emperor,' thought Miscellaneous One before changing tactics and using the things he recently learned.
"Not enough power."
"Use the sect's luck," said Origin One.
"I'll let you use the Protective Array." Under normal circumstances, the array could only be used once there was eminent danger and the council of Emperor Lineages agreed. After all, any active use burns far greater resources. However, no one can say anything to Sword One–especially since she is not doing it to hurt other factions.
The Dao Opening Sect just needed to give the excuse that she was fighting a foreign enemy and needed its strength.
With this boost, Miscellaneous calculated something: a string of runes. And after translating them, they were coordinates.
"Is that the coordination to the Battle Spirit World Community?"
"Unless something changed since the Devil Era, it should be."
"So, they are the plane scheming against us. So, who is the faction that sent that Immortal Sovereign? They must be from a very powerful and lucky faction to have a surviving Sovereign."
Everyone looked at Shadow One for an answer since he was in charge of information gathering from the Endless Void.
"Don't ask me. I've only gathered basic information. Besides knowing the Battle Spirit World is fourth on the Eternal List and has a growing presence in the Commerce Hub, I know very little."
With the closure of the Myriad Emperor World, Shadow One could not continue to gather more information and had left someone else protecting the Fate Shadow Guard as they worked on their own, semi-cut off from home.
