Chapter 1865: Chapter 927:
They also gave the Matriarch a name—”Star Devourer”!
The remnants of the Dragon God Dynasty sought to eke out survival in the Sea Territory. However, the evolution speed of the Insect Beasts far exceeded their imagination, and soon the Matriarch produced a type of Insect Beast unafraid of seawater.
Another hundred years passed, and the living beings that fled to the Sea Territory from the Dragon God Dynasty, along with the original inhabitants of the Sea Territory, were all devoured by this batch of evolved Insect Beasts.
Fortunately, the Insect Beasts were only interested in living beings and metallic minerals, so these stone relics and murals were preserved, providing the Immortal Gate with an opportunity to decipher them.
With these interpretations, the Immortal Gate began to pay more attention to this Dragon God Star.
According to the descriptions in these relic murals, this planet had clearly become a nest of insects, with swarms of Insect Beasts deep underground.
And the Matriarch revered as the Star Devourer was the entity with Spirit Transformation Stage traces, as mentioned by Ancestor Qian Xing.
If the opponent was indeed in the Spirit Transformation Stage, according to the rules of the Immortal Gate, this would confirm the highest level of warfare initiation called “World Conceiving”.
Thus, the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate began a full mobilization.
The proposal to unseal the other Three Great Dao Palaces passed quickly in the Three Great Halls after the murals had been deciphered.
Additionally, there was the Lingxiao Palace.
However, this required a Deity Transformation True Monarch to start and command it, so even though the proposal was approved, it could only be retrieved from the warehouse as Ancestor Qian Xing had not returned, and Ancestor Bai Guang had not yet awakened.
Among the Three Great Dao Palaces, the Head of Immortal Affairs, Ying Guanghua, attained control of the White Tiger Dao Palace. However, he was mainly responsible for guarding the Immortal Gate and the Earth Element Star, focusing on a defensive strategy.
Naturally, the Vermilion Dao Palace fell into the hands of Chen Mobai, because the Hall of Orthodox Law was in charge of warfare. Thus, if the battle on the Dragon God Star went unfavorably, Chen Mobai would lead the army to provide support.
Apart from the Vermilion Dao Palace, the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Southern Seven-Star Immortal Armor, along with seven Star Space Battleships, all came under his command.
Aside from the insufficient allocation of Spirit Stones, this was almost a full set.
The allocation and leadership of the White Tiger and Vermilion Dao Palaces passed almost unanimously.
Yet, concerning the Azure Dragon Dao Palace, some contention arose.
According to the unwritten rules of the Immortal Gate, it belonged to Jumang Academy.
However, Jumang Academy currently lacked a strong leader.
The Three Extremes Sage, being a researcher, would only take the battlefield if all Nascent Souls of the Immortal Gate perished; otherwise, he was the last to go.
Though the Peach Blossom Sage had the qualifications, she was unwilling to undertake the task, and her command skills in warfare were considered inferior to those of Wenren Xuewei.
However, Wenren Xuewei had just recently formed her Nascent Soul, with shallow experience and an untested track record in capability.
Unlike Chen Mobai, from the time he aced the entrance exams with Qi Cultivation to reaching his Nascent Soul, he had dominated through Magic Duels, suppressing opponents of the same realm.
Thus, although Chen Mobai also recently formed his Nascent Soul, everyone in the Immortal Gate had full confidence in him, believing someone so strong in Magic Duels would surely excel in warfare as well.
Though Wenren Xuewei was extraordinarily talented, widely acknowledged as only second to Chen Mobai of her generation, warfare was no child’s play, and many doubted her ability to lead the Azure Dragon Dao Palace.
At this critical juncture, Qi Yuheng, the first Nascent Soul of the Immortal Gate, was available, so the Immortal Gate populace generally hoped for this strong figure to take the final Azure Dragon Dao Palace.
However, Chen Mobai realized that this was all orchestrated by the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, using its media to create momentum, attempting to pressure Wenren Xuewei to back down and to convince numerous neutral Golden Core Masters within the Three Great Halls to cast their valuable votes for Qi Yuheng.
“What do you think?”
In the office of the Hall of Orthodox Law, Chen Mobai asked Wenren Xuewei in front of him, while besides the two of them, Pei Qingshuang walked anxiously to and fro by the window.
“I have to try, don’t I? I managed to form my Nascent Soul and slightly boosted morale. Even knowing I might not win against the Grand Hall Master Qian, if I don’t try at all, the morale below will scatter.”
Wenren Xuewei had a clear perspective.
“Okay, if you want to fight, I’ll certainly support you.”
Hearing her words, Chen Mobai nodded, intending to call Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan from the next office over, but Wenren Xuewei stopped him.
“I said, I’ll try, just me…”
Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei’s words, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback before letting out a light laugh.
“Alright, I understand your meaning.”
Soon after, during a meeting at the Three Great Halls, a vote on the leadership of the Azure Dragon Dao Palace was held again, and the members of Patching Heaven and Dance Instruments abstained from voting.
In the final vote count, Qi Yuheng was elected with over eighty percent of the vote.
Wenren Xuewei merely made a symbolic fight, indicating Jumang Academy now had her, a Nascent Soul.
For her, time was her greatest capital. Jumang Academy had long been weak within the Three Great Halls, and to rise, unless a formidable figure like Chen Mobai appeared, would require slow and steady progress.
Moreover, she practiced Lasting Spring Cultivation, with promising future prospects, as long as she survived, there would surely be opportunities.
It was clear Qi Yuheng intended to seize this World Conceiving War to attempt Divinity Transformation.
