Chapter 3014: All Under Heaven Bustles, Each Rushing Toward Their Future===GLOSSARY===

~8 min read 1,451 words

Tan Hai Yaksha Wang was unusually pleased.

The other great beings present today had the lofty demeanor that matched the true immortals' consistent temperament.

Having held high positions for too long, who could avoid arrogance?

Even He Lingchuan, as the Nine Nether Great Emperor, was growing increasingly dignified.

The Red General stared at him for a moment before shrugging: "Talking is no substitute for doing. She challenged me to a fight, I lost, so she brought the Tan Hai tribe and two other tribes into Cang Yan."

He was changing the subject.

Never mind, if he didn't want to speak, she wouldn't ask. Who doesn't have one or two secrets they can't tell?

Had it been someone else, hearing that Tan Hai Yaksha Wang joined Cang Yan after losing a duel, they would likely think she was too casual, gambling with the fate of her entire tribe. But He Lingchuan praised her: "Tan Hai Yaksha Wang is truly a clever person."

The Red General laughed: "You think so too?"

"She had wanted to join all along, just needed an excuse."

The demons had once besieged the Tan Hai Yaksha tribe under the Sea Emperor Xuan Du's leadership, and Yuan Ling had long sought revenge, but alone she could not succeed, so she sought to bring the Tan Hai tribe to find a powerful organization.

The duel and all that was merely a pretext.

Among the strong, if you don't fight, you don't get to know each other.

Just by seeing Yuan Ling's performance at the True Immortal Assembly, one could tell her approval of Cang Yan was high.

In He Lingchuan's view, she was far more clever than most of the true immortals present.

The Red General asked him again: "After today's true immortal conclave, how many true immortals do you think will join the War Alliance?"

"It doesn't matter." He Lingchuan shook his head: "Today's meeting is merely the War Alliance's declaration to the human world. Even if we lay out our reasoning clearly, some true immortals and immortals will still waver, still stand aside and watch."

This is human nature.

Though it is said that immortals must sever emotion and desire to attain the Dao, the selfishness and侥幸 at the deepest core of human nature cannot be cut by a hundred wisdom swords.

"Actually, the reason true immortals hesitate and resist is because the War Alliance is led by us, not by Lingshan." The Red General saw through it: "If mortals can resist the demons and great demons, then they can also resist immortals and true immortals."

This is something they do not want to admit in their hearts, nor face.

"It doesn't matter, in the end facts will force a decision." He Lingchuan stretched lazily: "Perhaps someone will still choose the most foolish path." "Even in the past Panlong City, there were traitors who defected, not just eight or ten. We must be careful." The Red General was also wrapping up: "I'll fly another dozen hours, then return to Bai Sha."

Not long after the Red General went offline, Ming Ke Xianren hurried over, submitting a manuscript:

"Your Majesty, the War Alliance proclamation has been drafted, please review."

He Lingchuan took it, glanced at it, casually revised a passage, then handed it back: "Done, announce it to the world."

This content had been discussed by him, Mu Di, and Xiao Hanzi, concise yet substantial.

On that day, the news of the War Alliance's founding was announced to the world, emphasizing:

On the eve of the demons' descent into the world, the War Alliance arose timely, aiming to resist the demons and protect all living beings, hoping that aspiring and enlightened individuals across the world would join the War Alliance to jointly resist foreign invaders and defend the human realm.

Now the world's spiritual energy is abundant, and divine communication abilities are well-developed. The announcement of the War Alliance's founding spread in less than half a day, receiving thousands of applications. There were sects, tribes, small states and other local powers, as well as numerous loose cultivators and loose immortals.

By the third and fourth days, enthusiasm remained high, participation was enthusiastic. Meanwhile, the War Alliance was busy organizing and deploying these newly joined forces.

The new allies were a mixed bag of dragons and fish, arranging each to their proper place was itself a monumental undertaking.

The human realm prepared for war, ablaze with fervor.

Many who came forward spoke openly: they came for Cang Yan's great banner. They hoped to fight side by side with the Nine Nether Great Emperor and Cang Yan's elite troops and strong generals.

Over the past twenty years, Cang Yan had held high the banner of resisting demons, its spirit of resistance and unyielding posture already deeply etched in people's hearts. Thus, before the demons descended, many benevolent and aspiring individuals were willing to unite in purpose, entrusting their lives.

And the three-day deadline He Lingchuan had set with the true immortals had passed, and the true immortals had made their choice.

Needless to say, Xiao Hanzi and Mu Di naturally remained in the War Alliance, and Xiao Hanzi had joined Mu Guo.

Among the other true immortals present, Pu Gu Shangxian and Que Yunzi likewise chose Mu Guo.

Xin Zhi Shangren expressed no stance, meaning he temporarily chose neutrality, maintaining observation.

What surprised He Lingchuan most was that Ling Bao Xian actually chose Cang Yan. Thus, of the Four Great Heads of Lingshan, three chose Mu Guo, one came to Cang Yan.

He Lingchuan then asked Ling Bao Xian: "Why don't you go to Mu Guo?"

Ling Bao Xian scratched the back of his head, laughing with a touch of simplicity: "I've stayed too long in Lingshan, grown tired of looking at those few old faces, just wanted a new environment to breathe fresh air. You say, isn't fighting demons the same wherever you fight?"

"Fine." This answer was flawless.

After all, she is a true immortal, qualified to be willful.

As for the choices made by the other true immortals, they were also within He Lingchuan's expectations.

Cang Yan hardly offered any favorable conditions to true immortals, so its natural appeal to them was inferior to Mu Guo's. Moreover, Mu Guo itself was controlled by the Worry-Free Old Ancestor of Lingshan's true immortals, making them psychologically closer, and they would feel more at ease in Mu Guo.

With Tan Hai Yaksha Wang and Ling Bao Xian joining, He Lingchuan already felt it was an unexpected delight.

Contentment brings constant joy.

Three days later, another piece of news arrived: the Azure Mount Mount Qilin Auspicious Mount Mount Qilin was persuaded by Mu Di to join the War Alliance.

But interestingly, it too chose Cang Yan.

Know that the Auspicious Mount Mount Qilin is the clan leader, and it still commands a troop of Azure Mount Mount Qilin tribesmen, numbering around thirty heads.

Mu Di also found it strange. Clearly he was the one who went to recruit the Auspicious Mount Mount Qilin, so why did the other party set its sights on Cang Yan instead?

The Azure Mount Mount Qilin replied, having heard that the Nine Nether was a reincarnation of the Dragon God, they wanted to go see for themselves.

This reason left Mu Di speechless for a moment.

He Lingchuan is the reincarnation of the Dragon God, this legend is only believed by vulgar commoners, why is the Azure Mount Mount Qilin pretending to be pure?

But since the Azure Mount Mount Qilin would not reveal the true reason, he did not press further. Anyway, this powerful reinforcement joining the War Alliance was sufficient.

Speaking of which, the Mount Mount Qilin clan shares deep origins with the Dragon God. He Lingchuan upholds the Dragon God belief, which may well be one reason attracting the Azure Mount Mount Qilin. As for the other true immortals and great beings in the world, the War Alliance has temporarily received no indication from them.

During this period, the world bustled with noise and fervor, great and small powers all pursuing their own paths.

The flood of history and time began to surge forward, no longer as placid and uneventful as the past two thousand years.

Under the War Alliance's strong consolidation, what originally seemed like scattered sand in the human realm finally entered a tense state of war preparation.

The great era is about to arrive.

He Lingchuan knew that this scene would definitely put great pressure on the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Demon, thereby affecting the descent of the gods.

Good, this is also He Lingchuan's expectation.

Besides the Red General, no one could guess what he wanted to do next.
