This journey to the stars was like a soul-stirring baptism, making them deeply aware of their own insignificance and fragility.
It should be understood that with their mere cultivation at the Martial Saint level, it would be extremely difficult for them to move forward in the vast and endless starry sky.
Every step forward felt like bearing immense pressure, fraught with difficulties, making it almost impossible to achieve anything.
In comparison, staying and becoming an elder in this prestigious council seems like a perfectly good option.
After all, they can play a role here with their own abilities and experience, contributing to the prosperity and stability of this land.
"That's right. What do you seniors think?"
Sun Hongxuan smiled and looked at the crowd before him with eager eyes.
Sun Hongxuan actually knew a little about the backgrounds of Guan Yu and the other four.
As the Grand Elder of the Great Xia Council, although he dared not claim to know everything about all the historical figures of the Great Xia, he still had some understanding of them.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Guan Yu and the others fell into deep thought.
Time passed by, and all was quiet except for the occasional gentle breeze.
After a long time, the silence was finally broken.
Guan Yu, with a calm expression, slowly spoke:
"Can."
His voice was deep and firm, revealing a decisiveness born of careful consideration.
Indeed, with their current strength, they might be considered among the powerful in the Great Xia Dynasty, but once placed in the vast starry sky, they would be like insignificant ants.
Rather than struggling in that unknown world, it's better to stay here, accompany the Great Xia on its steady progress, and witness its growth and rise.
Although all races covet their Great Xia and will never give up easily, as long as that elder of the Ye family is still alive, attempting to destroy Great Xia will be no easy task.
Now, we have a rare opportunity to catch our breath, and we must seize every minute to improve the overall strength of Great Xia.
Only in this way can we avoid being trapped in a hopeless situation where we have no power to fight back when we face all races again.
"Haha, that's great!"
Upon hearing that Guan Yu and the others were willing to join their ranks, Sun Hongxuan immediately burst into laughter, his laughter as loud as a great bell, reverberating throughout the entire hall.
The other elders also showed relieved smiles, as if they saw a ray of hope shining before their eyes.
It should be noted that the strength of these five newcomers far surpasses that of the rest of them. Even Sun Hongxuan, the Grand Elder, had to admit that he was somewhat inferior, especially Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who were the best among them.
These two have already reached the pinnacle of Martial Saint, and are only one step away from breaking through to Martial Saint King, which is within reach.
Given time, once a breakthrough is achieved, they will surely become the mainstay of the Great Xia in resisting all races.
...
Zhongtian Star Region!
Here exists a mysterious and awe-inspiring race—the Shadow Clan.
Although the Shadow Clan is not the top-tier power in the Central Heaven Star Region, it is not weak either, belonging to the first-class forces.
On this day, the tranquil Shadow Clan territory was suddenly greeted by a person, none other than the Great Elder from the Sea Clan.
The sea elder was dressed in a magnificent robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind. His dignified face revealed a hint of anxiety and solemnity.
The purpose of the Great Elder of the Sea Clan's visit is self-evident and clearly related to the Great Xia Dynasty.
The formidable strength displayed by the Great Xia Dynasty deeply alarmed the Sea Clan. Faced with such a powerful enemy, the Sea Clan knew that they could not contend with it on their own and had no choice but to seek help from outside.
So why would the sea creatures turn their attention to the shadow creatures? The reason is not hard to understand.
It turns out that the Sea Clan has always been a subordinate force of the Shadow Clan, and the two have countless connections.
Moreover, the mentor of Haiying, who tragically died not long ago, happened to be a highly respected elder in the Shadow Clan.
At this moment, inside the magnificent hall of the Shadow Clan, the Great Elder of the Sea Clan stood quietly in the center of the hall, patiently waiting.
The grand hall is magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters. The walls are inlaid with countless gems that shimmer with strange light, making the whole hall appear exceptionally solemn and majestic.
"Haiguang, is there something important that you've come to see me at this time?"
Just as the Great Elder of the Sea Clan was deep in thought, a steady and powerful voice suddenly rang out in the hall. Upon hearing this voice, the Great Elder of the Sea Clan, Hai Guang, hurriedly turned around and saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face walking slowly towards him with steady steps.
The old man was vigorous and had bright, piercing eyes. He exuded an invisible pressure.
Hai Guang recognized the man at a glance, and quickly bowed respectfully to the old man, saying:
"Hai Guang greets Elder Peng!"
Their words revealed a deep respect for the old man, showing no sign of slackening.
"No need for that, just speak!"
"Why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something you need?"
Elder Peng waved his hand and asked!
"Elder Peng, do you still remember the Great Xia?"
Hai Guang asked softly.
"Great Xia?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Peng looked puzzled. What Great Xia?
"Is that the order issued by the Netherworld Temple ten thousand years ago, targeting the Great Xia?"
Suddenly, Elder Peng's expression changed, and he finally remembered.
“That’s right, Elder Peng, it’s this Great Xia.”
Hai Guang said in a low voice!
"What's wrong with this Great Xia?"
Elder Peng frowned, his face full of doubt as he questioned him.
