Ancient Godly Monarch

After speaking, Qin Wentian looked at Luoshen Chuan, “Grandfather, I was unconscious after that battle with Qin Zhong and was brought to the Demon God Mountain where I received care. The demon sovereign allowed me to stay here temporarily and I owe him a debt of gratitude.”

By speaking of this, it was naturally because he wanted to alleviate the tension between the two parties. As expected, the expression of the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign grew better after he heard that. He turned to Luoshen Chuan, “No matter what, you are the original clan leader of the Luoshen Clan. Even your grandson is more well versed in etiquette compared to you.”

Luoshen Chuan was once a peak character who controlled immense authority in the Luoshen Clan and stood at the peak of the Desolate Region. The demon sovereigns wouldn’t really make things difficult for him. When Luoshen Chuan was the Luoshen Clan Leader, the Luoshen Clan didn’t really have any major conflicts with the Demon God Mountain. At most, only those from the junior generations would contend against each other. There wasn’t too much trouble created.

“Many thanks demon sovereign for helping me to take care of my grandson. I apologize for my earlier rudeness.” Luoshen Chuan clasped his hands. After knowing that Qin Wentian was here, he instantly rushed over because he was afraid that Qin Wentian might be in danger on the Demon God Mountain. But now after he heard Qin Wentian saying that the Demon God Mountain treated him quite well, Luoshen Chuan’s tone naturally also grew more polite.

“Forget it. No matter what, we are the masters of the Desolate Region. Let’s sit down and chat. Men, go and organize a banquet.” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign waved his hand. Luoshen Chuan smiled and nodded. Only then did Qin Wentian sigh in relief. Seems like there would be no conflict.

Very soon, the banquet was prepared. The two demon sovereigns of the Demon God Mountain acted as the hosts and graciously welcomed Luoshen Chuan. Speaking of statuses, Luoshen Chuan was once the clan leader of the strongest hegemonic power in the Desolate Region. Their statuses were naturally slightly lower than him. Although the earlier incident caused some unhappiness, but since everything has been understood, given that they are heavenly deity-level characters, the two demon sovereigns naturally were more than willing to forget about such a minor matter.

“Luoshen Chuan, you have governed the Luoshen Clan for so many years yet you still let your emotions control your actions. After you have given up the position of the clan leader, the Luoshen Clan was thoroughly humiliated. What were you thinking of? Why did you allow someone like Luoshen Mu to take up the clan leader position? That person is extremely scheming and sinister, he doesn’t have the vision needed to lead a clan, nor the magnamious heart of a leader. If you were the one leading, you definitely wouldn’t allow the Luoshen Clan to suffer such humiliation even if it meant starting a war.” During the banquet, the Heaven Devouring Sovereign bluntly spoke, not avoiding this topic at all. The personalities of demons would always be more straight-forward compared to humans.

“Heaven devourer, if you are the one facing against the pressure of the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan, how would you choose?” Luoshen Chuan asked.

“Kill my way through their forces and flee. Since the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan dares to step on my head, what does our Demon God Mountain have to fear? At most, we will simply all die. As long as the five demon sovereigns can escape, we will definitely avenge the deaths of our descendants in the future. The Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan no longer need to dream about having a moment of peace.” The Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign directly spoke. If they want war, let’s war then. It was clear they would surely lose to the combined forces of the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan. Hence, they didn’t plan to win, they only planned to slaughter a path out and escape, choosing to take revenge in the future.

“Ruthless.” Qin Wentian silently mused. This should be the personalities of all demon sovereigns. They had strong enough spirits to endure the destruction of their races. Not everyone would have the courage to make the same choice as them. Even for Luoshen Chuan himself, he might not have dared to make this decision.

“The Divine Ox Clan is truly brazen enough. In the past, they schemed to obtain the bloodlines of the various demonic races, and has long planned to obtain the Luoshen Clan’s bloodline. Now, they seem to be about to succeed. Luoshen Chuan, what do you plan to do in the future?” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign asked. Since they were at the same level, his manner was very direct and to-the-point.

Luoshen Chuan glanced at Qin Wentian before he replied, “Before this, I focused my attention on finding my grandson. I still have no concrete plans for the future yet. Now, the internal situation of the Luoshen Clan is extremely bad, they are crumbling from within. How would I be willing to see this?”

“Why don’t you join our Demon God Mountain? If you want to, we will have six sovereigns. Haha.” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign laughed.

“Good idea.” The Kun Sovereign smiled in agreement. Naturally, these words were spoken with the tone of teasing in them. It wasn’t too possible that Luoshen Chuan would agree.

“It’s not possible for me to join the Demon God Mountain, but if we are talking about me joining forces with the Demon God Mountain, this is something that can be considered.” Luoshen Chuan’s gaze flashed. If it was in the past and if his identity was still the Luoshen Clan Leader, he naturally wouldn’t say this. But now that the Luoshen Clan was on the verge of collapsing, he naturally wanted to do something for the Luoshen Clan.

The eyes of the two demon sovereigns flashed as they glanced at each other.

The control of the Desolate Region has always been split between three powers. Luoshen Chuan was no longer the Luoshen Clan Leader but his strength was still present. Also, there would surely be people from the Luoshen Clan regretting their choice and might want to follow him. If he joined forces with the Demon God Mountain, the balance of the three powers would definitely be broken. They would gain the initiative.

“Who do you want to deal with?” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign asked.

“Naturally, the Divine Ox Clan.” Luoshen Chuan calmly spoke. If he said his target was the Qin Clan, the Demon God Mountain would surely not agree. The Qin Clan of the Heaven Region was simply too powerful, and it’s impossible that the Demon God Mountain would want to antagonize them for no reason. However, the grudge between the Demon God Mountain and Divine Ox Clan has already been festering for countless years. The Divine Ox Clan always had ambitions to occupy and rule the Demon God Mountain themselves.

“Luoshen Chuan, you should understand that the strength of the Divine Ox Clan isn’t inferior to the Demon God Mountain. My Demon God Mountain won’t fear provoking the Divine Ox Clan but if we take the initiative to attack them, this might not be a good thing for the Demon God Mountain.” The Kun Sovereign spoke.

“The Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan went to the Luoshen Mountain, acting together to suppress the Luoshen Clan. But in reality, did they even act? You have also seen the ending. Since they can do so, why can’t we do the same? Also, even if we joined forces, I didn’t say to really let the Demon God Mountain start a war with the Divine Ox Clan.” Luoshen Chuan spoke.

“Haha, Luoshen Chuan. What do you want to do?” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign seemed interested, laughing loudly as he asked. Seems like although Luoshen Chuan was no longer the Luoshen Clan Leader, he still couldn’t endure this breath of resentment.

“I wish to return their coin back to them, a tooth for a tooth.” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke. During the banquet, both parties discussed. Qin Wentian quietly listened. After all, before the demon sovereigns and his grandfather, he was just a junior.

The atmosphere during the banquet was very joyful. After the banquet ended, the demon sovereigns invited Luoshen Chuan to stay on the Demon God Mountain and Luoshen Chuan agreed to it. After that, he left to bring Luoshen Lei and the others in his group here and he naturally did so silently. The demon sovereigns sent out orders to seal this news to prevent leakage. On the Demon God Mountain, the demon sovereigns had complete authority.

When Luoshen Yu and Luoshen Lei saw that Qin Wentian was safe and sound, they were naturally relieved. When they learned that Qin Wentian killed Qin Zhong with no help from others, their hearts were incomparably shaken. They were filled with yearning with regards to Qin Wentian’s growth in the future.

Also, the topic of discussion during the earlier banquet was also made known to Luoshen Yu and the rest.

During the night, the moonlight cascaded down on the Demon God Mountain, filling the air with some coolness. Luoshen Chuan stood at the edge of a cliff and stared into the distance. His gaze was immeasurably deep and serene. Behind him, the sound of footsteps echoed. It was none other than Luoshen Yu. He softly spoke, “Father, it’s time to show our determination.”

“Do you think we should really do this?” Luoshen Chuan asked.

“Now that the Luoshen Clan is in Luoshen Mu’s hands, it would be destroyed sooner or later. Since that is the case, why doesn’t father take control and set up a secondary Luoshen Clan? In the future, we would be able to rise again if this secondary clan develops. When one day, everyone in the primary Luoshen Clan decides to side with us, we will be able to unite the hearts of people and gain our former glory. If not, could father really bear to watch as the Luoshen Clan crumbles apart?” Luoshen Yu spoke.

He knew that his father had deep emotions towards the clan. If he chose to step out and set up a secondary Luoshen Clan, the Luoshen Clan would be further fragmented, divided into two completely separate entities. Maybe, this would be a path of eternal condemnation, damning them for their futures.

“Can our Luoshen Clan really regain our former glory?” Luoshen Chuan mumbled. Under his leadership, the Luoshen Clan has actually declined, allowing a person like Luoshen Mu to appear.

“Father, don’t forget about one person.” Luoshen Yu spoke.

“Who?” Luoshen Chuan turned and glanced at Luoshen Yu.

“Wentian.” Luoshen Yu’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. “Father, right now, the talent Wentian has displayed, has already surpassed the talent of his parents. If we give him more time, he would surely reach the peak of martial dao. He was born to be enemies with the Qin Clan. In his body, there is also our Luoshen Clan’s bloodline. If he grew stronger, how can it not be possible for our Luoshen Clan to regain our former strength?”

Luoshen Chuan’s eyes shone brightly. “Seems like you are very confident in Wentian.”

“Father, don’t you have confidence in Wentian? He killed Qin Zhong, who was a heavenly deity after all. No matter how Wentian did it, he still managed to do it. Didn’t Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian also do the same before? Although Qin Dangtian had just broken through to the heavenly deity level when he defeated me. In addition, Wentian has also entered the legendary place of the sacred academy. When all the elite geniuses in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms gathered, he was the only one who had done so.” Luoshen Yu spoke. “He is the gift Qianxue brought to us. He will pay her debt to you, to the Luoshen Clan.”

“Qianxue…” When Luoshen Chuan thought of his daughter, a trace of longing flashed across his eyes. After that, a look of contemplation appeared on his face, as the glint in his eyes grew more determined.

…

The Divine Ox Clan and the Luoshen Clan made an agreement that the Divine Ox Clan would come and fetch the brides three months later, and they would throw a grand wedding.

As expected, the Divine Ox Clan was true to their words. As the deadline of three months got increasing nearer, the various major powers of the Desolate Region received their wedding invitations. In the Desolate Region, other than the three hegemonic powers, there were still many other major powers. All of them sighed silently in their hearts when they received the invitations. Clearly, the Divine Ox Clan was doing this intentionally to establish their dominance. They wanted to tell everyone that glory would soon belong to their clan. So what if they were once weaker than the Luoshen Clan? Now, wasn’t the Luoshen Clan humiliated by them? They even had to send maidens to the Divine Ox Clan for marriage.

Even the Demon God Mountain also received the wedding invitation from the Divine Ox Clan. After they received it, the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign had a deep smile on his face. The chieftain of the Divine Ox Clan wanted to tell the Demon God Clan that they would soon rule the Desolate Region unchallenged? What a beautiful dream, the Divine Ox Clan must be very immersed in their fantasy.

The grander the wedding was, the more the Luoshen Clan would lose face. In the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Meng and the two other maidens were being controlled, they were not allowed to leave the clan and when the deadline of the three months is up, that would be the date of their calamity.

Also, recently, many experts could be seen leaving the Luoshen Mountain, disappearing quietly. Naturally it was normal for experts to wish to temper themselves in the outside world when cultivating. Luoshen Mu didn’t care too much about that. Maybe, these experts left because they didn’t want to be present during Luoshen Meng’s wedding and witness how humiliating things would be. In truth, Luoshen Mu didn’t want to witness this too. But he felt that for the sake of the entire clan, he would rather sacrifice a few. He believed that the people of the Luoshen Clan should be able to understand him.

As the deadline drew nearer, the atmosphere of the Desolate Region became increasingly lively. Many experts from the other regions headed straight to the Divine Ox Castle, the place where the Divine Ox Clan was located. It was as though this is a sign that the strongest hegemonic power’s position was changing. The Luoshen Clan was weakening while the Divine Ox Clan was on the rise.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and finally, the deadline of three months had arrived!
