Chapter 978: Chapter 36: Top Saint Emperor (Part 2)
After Wang Sheng gave his orders, he returned to the Main God Space, beginning a period of seclusion to advance his cultivation, while also dedicating some of his energy to practicing the True Spirit Technique.
He hoped that the True Spirit Technique could soon achieve a breakthrough.
By that time, perhaps he could resolve the reincarnation issue and also address the problem of resentment.
Or, to put it another way, the establishment of the reincarnation system might make resolving these resentments not too challenging a task.
However, just a few years into his seclusion, a major event occurred.
Another Saint Emperor has fallen in the Old Land Starry Sky.
This time, it was two of them.
Meanwhile, a voice resounded across the majority of the Conquest Sect’s territory.
“Lin Yuan and Tian Yu, the two Saint Emperors, have disregarded the lives of countless beings, slaughtered the creatures of two star systems in the Extreme Cold Star Domain, leaving no life behind. Today, our Star Beast Clan has slain the two Saint Emperors, avenging countless beings and warning all that the Soul Devouring Evil Technique is not tolerated in the starry sky…”
The fall of the Saint Emperors once again attracted attention from all sides.
But this time, what attracted more attention was the power that killed the two Saint Emperors.
The Star Beast Clan!
The Star Beast Clan, one of the five top forces in the starry sky, is small in number but immensely powerful.
They rarely appear in the starry sky, typically wandering through desolate star systems, devouring various stars for cultivation.
They never participate in the rivalries among the forces in the starry sky.
Now suddenly showing themselves and killing two Saint Emperors represents something significant.
“Wasn’t the Star Beast Clan always uninvolved in these matters? Why would they kill a Saint Emperor practicing the Soul Devouring Evil Technique?”
“This shows their stance, leaning towards Feixian Star and that Lifeless True Saint!”
“It’s quite apparent. Otherwise, they wouldn’t bother with such thankless efforts.”
Not only outsiders, but even Wang Sheng was also somewhat puzzled.
Just as the discussions outside indicated, the information Wang Sheng had on the Star Beast Clan also showed that they would not directly involve themselves in such matters.
The number of living beings doesn’t affect their cultivation.
Wang Sheng contacted Long Yue, but unfortunately, Long Yue did not understand either.
“Forget it. As long as it’s confirmed that the Star Beast Clan killed Saint Emperors who practiced the Soul Devouring Evil Technique, it’s not disadvantageous for us regardless of the reason. Aligning with us is certainly positive.” Wang Sheng didn’t want to investigate further.
Even if there is some conspiracy, it will eventually be exposed.
Long Yue agreed with Wang Sheng’s view: “If that’s the case, then it is just about confirming the truth of the Star Beast Clan’s statement!”
In fact, they didn’t need to confirm it themselves.
The Star Beast Clan themselves presented the evidence.
The evidence was complete and irrefutable.
It was confirmed that the Star Beast Clan truly was leaning toward Feixian Star and Wang Sheng, or rather, choosing order.
At the same time, within the Star Beast Clan.
A dozen Saint Emperor-level Star Beasts gathered around a circular Star Beast.
The circular Star Beast was enormous and furry, which might make it a beloved creature if it were smaller.
However, within the Star Beast Clan, the circular Star Beast held a supreme status.
He was the strongest in the Star Beast Clan, the Star Beast Ancestor.
It’s said to be among the first batch of Star Beasts born in the starry sky, having reached the pinnacle of Saint Emperor and gathered newly born Star Beasts to protect them, helping the Star Beast Clan grow into one of the top five forces. The presence of more than a dozen Twelfth Realm Star Beasts speaks highly of the Star Beast Ancestor’s merit.
Because of this, the Star Beast Ancestor holds great authority, and this operation was decided by the Star Beast Ancestor.
Yet, not only were the external forces puzzled, but even internally, there was bafflement over the reason for doing so.
They did these things solely because of the Star Beast Ancestor’s instructions.
“Ancestor, why do we need to get involved in their affairs? We clearly can completely ignore them…”
“Yes, Ancestor, our involvement seems to bring no benefit to us.”
The small number and the amiable nature of the Ancestor allowed Twelfth Realm Star Beasts to ask questions without reservation, speaking their minds.
“The rules of the starry sky will eventually be perfected. I’m merely choosing the side that is more conducive to our Star Beast survival.” The Star Beast Ancestor answered the other Star Beasts’ inquiries.
Unfortunately, these Saint Emperor-level Star Beasts still seemed to lack understanding.
The Star Beast Ancestor looked at his still bewildered clan members and sighed internally.
Some things, he couldn’t explain too clearly.
Being able to say this much was only because the restrictions of the starry sky had lessened over recent centuries.
In the past, he wouldn’t have been able to say even this much.
He clearly understood internally that the ability to gradually reveal things indicated a greater crisis.
For the Star Beast Clan to continue, they must find a glimmer of hope within the crisis.
In the end, he saw this glimmer of hope.
That was the real reason for his decision to act.
“You don’t need to understand too much, just be clear that this is necessary for continuation.”
Although the Saint Emperor-level Star Beasts looked at each other, they ultimately chose to trust the Star Beast Ancestor.
“We understand, Ancestor, but what else do we need to do next?”
“Prepare for battle,” the Star Beast Ancestor uttered a few words.
The Saint Emperor-level Star Beasts were startled internally, then immediately responded: “Yes!”
If the Ancestor said to prepare for battle, it meant the opponent was definitely no simple matter, at least a Saint Emperor-level powerhouse.
And it wasn’t just a few Saint Emperors engaging in minor skirmishes, but a true Saint Emperor melee.
They didn’t doubt the Ancestor’s words could be true, for the Ancestor was mysteriously born and knew many secrets, leading them through millennia to this point.
The Star Beast Clan secretly prepared for battle.
The external discussions about the Star Beasts gradually faded as the Star Beast Clan did not respond further.
However, if someone observed closely, they would notice that the Star Beast Clan was also involved in cleansing the Saint Emperors practicing the “Soul Devouring Evil Technique.”
Thus, reducing the pressure on Feixian Star and the Main God Space significantly.
Wang Sheng and Long Yue naturally noticed this, but given the Star Beast Clan’s clear stance, they didn’t pay much more attention.
Because another Saint Emperor made a move, both sides focused their sights on the Saint Emperor.
Before long, Feixian Star locked onto the target.
“We kept our eyes on those ancient Saint Emperors nearing the end of their lifespan, and discovered that the Golden Sun Saint Emperor was secretly acting, but he did not directly target a star system, instead focusing on small worlds, being very cautious. However, he was uncovered by us.” Long Yue communicated with Wang Sheng.
“There will be no need for Lifeless True Saint’s intervention this time. Feixian Star will handle his demise.”
After concluding their communication, Feixian Star took immediate action.
A few days later, another Saint Emperor fell.
The beings in the Old Land Starry Sky were somewhat numb.
“Another Saint Emperor has fallen. What on earth is happening in the starry sky? Even during cross-border war times, it wasn’t this terrifying, was it?”
“Not just the Saint Emperors, numerous worlds have been destroyed over these decades…”
The once legendary Saint Emperors, one after another, have fallen.
Causing countless people to panic.
But before they had time to recover, after the Golden Sun Saint Emperor was killed by Feixian Star, the long-silent Shattered Star Sacred Land also made a move.
They once again killed a Saint Emperor.
And they, too, made a public announcement like the Star Beast Clan.
The Saint Emperor they killed was also one who practiced the Soul Devouring Evil Technique, and they also had evidence.
Henceforth, since Shattered Star Sacred Land first acted against a Saint Emperor, a total of ten Saint Emperors had fallen in the Old Land Starry Sky.
Those with a keen interest compiled statistics and published the information.
“Ten Saint Emperors… all were killed by top forces. Indeed, even as Saint Emperors, in the eyes of some forces, they are still mere ants. The leaders of top forces still call themselves Saint Emperors, perhaps just out of courtesy to other Saint Emperors?”
“Lifeless True Saint, Yuanhua Saint Emperor, Long Yue Emperor, Star Beast Ancestor, these kinds of powerhouses are on a completely different level from ordinary Saint Emperors…”
“It was always just rumored that the leaders of top forces were powerful, but I never expected them to be this formidable.”
“They are the truly top-tier Saint Emperors!”
This type of information spread rapidly via the Old Land Starry Sky’s network.
Simultaneously, countless people truly witnessed the might of the leaders of top forces, not just through rumors.
The term top-tier Saint Emperors gradually spread and became universally recognized.
Ultimately, a new realm emerged in the starry sky once more.
Top-tier Saint Emperors!
If it weren’t for the top-tier Saint Emperors themselves not acknowledging it, people even wanted to categorize this realm as the Thirteen Realms…
