379: Proposals from the two hegemons

“Gong Yu, Sect Master of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, pays respects to the Grand Elder of Dragon Heaven Palace and the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!”

“Shentu Kun, Hall Master of God Slaying Hall, pays respects to the Grand Elder of Dragon Heaven Palace and the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!”

“Dong Baiqi, Hall Master of Demon Suppression Hall, pays respects to the Grand Elder of Dragon Heaven Palace and the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!”

Inside a Dragon Heaven Palace branch, Tian Peak's Tian Hall living room.

Two graceful young men and an incredibly beautiful young woman bowed in succession.

Feng Zixian had passed the position of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to Gong Yu; she herself had now become the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

Shentu Kun and Dong Baiqi were quite shocked to hear Gong Yu address Feng Zixian in such a way. They hadn't expected the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to be present, and even more, to have become Long Aotian's Dao Companion?

This woman was known for her stunning beauty across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and her incredibly aloof demeanor. In her previous life, how many powerful cultivators had desired her but hesitated?

They hadn't expected that after her Reincarnation, not only had she become even more devastatingly beautiful, but she also had a Dao Companion?

This also greatly surprised Shentu Kun and Dong Baiqi.

One of them was the Overlord of the Thirteenth Layer Heaven, and the other was the Overlord of the Eleventh Layer Heaven. Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was in the Ninth Layer Heaven, and since they were all in The Lower Thirty-Three Heavens, they were naturally familiar with Feng Zixian, the Overlord of the Ninth Layer Heaven.

“No need for such formality!”

Long Aotian waved his hand and directly stated, “Welcome, esteemed guests, to my Dragon Heaven Palace. May I ask why you have traveled so far to seek me?”

“...We came to admire the Grand Elder's great name!”

“Indeed, Brother Shentu and I came out of admiration!”

Shentu Kun and Dong Baiqi hadn't expected Long Aotian to be so direct. Their answer wasn't wrong, but their true intentions hadn't yet been revealed.

“...”

“If that's the case, then see them out!”

“...”

“...”

Shentu Kun and Dong Baiqi were momentarily dumbfounded.

They had just arrived, their bottoms hadn't even warmed their seats, and he was already issuing an eviction notice?!

The two couldn't help but exchange glances, a bitter smile in their hearts.

This Grand Elder of Dragon Heaven Palace truly had a unique personality. Both of them were Overlords of their respective Heaven Domains, yet they had never encountered anyone who gave them so little Face.

However, when they remembered that this young man was a formidable figure who could annihilate the Wuji Emperor Sect's Di Division Army and Tian Division Army with a flick of his finger, and grind Ang Divine Spark into the dirt, they had no temper whatsoever.

“In the Upper Thirty-Three Heaven Layers and The Middle Thirty-Three Heavens, each Heaven Domain has already seen the emergence of a sole Overlord.”

Shentu Kun pondered for a moment and slowly began, “Now that the Twelfth Layer Heaven Domain in The Lower Thirty-Three Heavens has also given birth to an Overlord, only the Twenty-first Layer Heaven Domain and the Twenty-seventh Layer Heaven Domain remain in a unification war.”

“We have received news that with the Heavenly Devil God Sect's intervention in the war, the unification battles in those two Heaven Domains will soon conclude, and Overlords will emerge.”

“The two of us are here to ask the Grand Elder what his thoughts are on the Heavenly Devil God Sect's proposal for an Immortal Realm Overlord?”

“What are your thoughts, esteemed sirs?”

Long Aotian didn't answer directly; instead, he asked for their opinions.

The Immortal Realm was on the verge of an unprecedented major change in billions of years, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

Everyone seemed to neither strongly oppose nor strongly support the Immortal Realm Overlord proposal, mostly remaining in a wait-and-see state.

However, the Heavenly Devil God Sect had been continuously pushing this process, making it now 90% likely to happen.

Shentu Kun and Dong Baiqi coming to him likely meant they had other ideas.

Or perhaps, these two fellows didn't seem to want the Heavenly Devil God Sect to become the Immortal Realm Overlord?

And since he had unceremoniously trampled on one of the Heavenly Devil God Sect's two Grand Elders, they might think that Dragon Heaven Palace, like them, would not submit to the Heavenly Devil God Sect?

“Presumably, the Grand Elder must have discerned something. Indeed, we are not particularly keen on the Heavenly Devil God Sect becoming the Immortal Realm Overlord power.”

“Firstly, we have some grievances with the Heavenly Devil God Sect.”

“Secondly, the Heavenly Devil God Sect is not a Righteous Path power.”

“Thirdly, the Heavenly Devil God Sect is not primarily composed of our Human Race!”

As he spoke, Shentu Kun's expression grew somewhat solemn: “Brother Baiqi and I propose that we in The Lower Thirty-Three Heavens first elect an Overlord. This carries the possibility and risk of confronting the Heavenly Devil God Sect, and the Overlord we have in mind is Dragon Heaven Palace. What are the Grand Elder's thoughts on this?”

“...”
