One incense stick later!
Led by that general, Lin Xuan arrived at the city lord's mansion in Kyushu City. He finally met the city lord of Kyushu City, the only one in the Great Xia Dynasty who had perfectly fused the position of a high god, and whose strength was comparable to that of a Golden Immortal.
When Xu Changshan approached him that day, he told him many of the secrets of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty has Golden Immortal level experts, and more than one. However, for many years, they have been located on Qiongyu Star and rarely return to their ancestral land. Therefore, not many people in the entire Great Xia Dynasty know about this secret, and basically no one below the Celestial Realm level knows about it.
The Lord of the Nine Provinces City is one of the top Golden Immortal experts in the Great Xia Dynasty, and his strength ranks among the top three.
The backyard of the city lord's mansion.
A small lake rippled on the water, and on a pavilion by the lake, an old man with white hair was fishing. When Lin Xuan approached, the old man merely glanced up at him and gestured for him to sit down beside him. Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on a stone bench nearby.
"I heard that you've caused quite a stir in your ancestral land, turning the War God Palace upside down." After Lin Xuan sat down, the old man continued, "I didn't expect that you would cause even more trouble after coming to Qiongyu Star, making a move that was earth-shattering."
The Four Spirit Cities invaded our ancestral land. Their spatial passage corresponds to the territory of our Great Xia. Originally, there were people who tried to stop them, but later some problems arose with our people, and the territory was lost. As a result, our ancestral land was invaded for many years, and countless compatriots died.
Therefore, the Four Spirits City had become a major threat to our Great Xia, yet we were helpless against it. Unexpectedly, things changed because of you. You first sealed the spatial passage of the Four Spirits City, then you even killed the four city lords of the Four Spirits City, causing heavy casualties and forcing that old monster, Tianlang, to emerge from seclusion ahead of schedule.
You are a hero of my human race, a hero of my Great Xia…
"No, senior... I can't bear the title of hero. It's too heavy a burden for me. I am just myself, Lin Xuan... an ordinary person." Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Senior called me here today, surely you wanted to say more than just this!"
"Hahaha...you lad, just as rumored, unconventional and quite different." The City Lord of Kyushu laughed heartily. "That's right. I called you here today not just to praise you, but because I have something important to discuss with you."
But before we get down to business, let me tell you something, as a promise to you.
Your feud with the War God Palace ends here.
I guarantee that the War God Palace will never target you again. Of course… I'm referring to the War God Palace itself. If anyone attacks you behind your back, that's beyond my control.”
"Then I'll thank you in advance, senior."
A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. Although he was not afraid of the War God Palace, he naturally did not want to fall out with them if he could avoid it. After all, the War God Palace represented the legitimate successor of the Great Xia Dynasty. If he were to fall out with them, he himself would be fine, but the soldiers of his Mountain and River Army would be affected to some extent.
Now that the Lord of Kyushu City has given him such a promise, it proves that this matter has indeed been put to rest.
but!
Lin Xuan was also well aware that some things come at a price.
He didn't believe that there were any free lunches in this world, so after a brief moment of joy, Lin Xuan looked at the City Lord of Kyushu and said, "Senior, if there's anything you need me to do, just say the word!"
"I will never refuse to do anything that I can."
Lin Xuan remained cautious. As long as it was something he could do, there were many interpretations to his words. At least he didn't completely rule it out, since whether he could actually do it was entirely up to him.
The City Lord of Kyushu glanced at Lin Xuan, immediately seeing through his little scheme, but didn't expose him. He simply smiled slightly and said, "There is indeed something I need you to do, but it's not a bad thing; rather, it's a great opportunity..."
"Great opportunities are often accompanied by great dangers."
Lin Xuan was not blinded by the words "great opportunity." Instead, he became wary and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, please speak frankly!"
"Have you ever heard of the Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens!"
The Lord of Kyushu City looked at Lin Xuan and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, then shook his head. He had never heard of any "Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens." He then looked at the City Lord of Kyushu, waiting for him to continue.
"The Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens is a battle among the strongest among the younger generation of countless stars and billions of beings in the myriad realms of the universe, a battle to rank the prodigies."
"Those with billions of strength across the entire universe, and the geniuses of countless races, whoever meets the requirements, can participate in this great battle to compete for a ranking of ten thousand and have their names inscribed on the Chaos Stele!" The City Lord of the Nine Provinces said in a deep voice, "Those who inscribe their names on the Chaos Stele will receive great fortune, be protected by the Heavenly Dao, and receive rewards from the Heavenly Dao."
The Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens is held only once every ten thousand years. Only those at or below the Celestial Realm who are young and meet the requirements are eligible to participate…
"The Battle for Destiny!"
After listening carefully to the City Lord of the Nine Provinces' explanation, Lin Xuan was utterly shocked, his pupils shrinking to a single point in an instant. He finally realized that this so-called Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens was actually a battle for destiny.
The so-called Battle for Destiny was not a name Lin Xuan came up with, but rather one he learned about from the Ancient Era. In that era, there was a grand competition called the Battle for Destiny, where the young powerhouses of all races fought each other for destiny.
The last 10,000 people can leave their names on the Chaos Stele and receive blessings from Heaven.
What a familiar recipe.
The battle for destiny in the ancient era and the battle of the pinnacle of the heavens in this era are essentially the same; the only difference is the name.
"call……"
Lin Xuan let out a long breath, then asked in a deep voice, "Senior, do you mean for me to participate in this Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens?"
“That’s right, because this is the most effective way for all the humans in our Great Xia, our ancestral land, to get out of this stalemate and establish themselves in this vast universe.” The City Lord of Kyushu nodded slightly and said, “With your strength and talent, you are absolutely qualified to participate in this battle of the highest heavens.”
I don't require you to be in the top 10,000. As long as you can be in the top 1 million, or even the top 10 million, you will have a great chance of being recruited by some top-tier powers and becoming their disciples. At that time, your status will be completely transformed, and it will definitely make the powers on Qiongyu Star wary..."
After saying this much, the Lord of Kyushu City stopped talking, but Lin Xuan already understood the meaning behind his words.
His eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he chuckled, "Senior wants to use the background of a top power in the universe to deal with the various powers on Qiongyu Star, in order to break the current deadlock of our Great Xia? Senior has that much confidence in me?"
