After defeating Xiao Tianzhan, the King of Light began to rally his followers to launch a counterattack on the Northern Region.
Many human tribes in the northern regions responded to the call of the Bright King.
During the time Xiao Tianzhan was in charge of the Northern Region, the human race in the Northern Region was in a very miserable situation.
The Northern Region Human Race is at the bottom, above which are various alien races, and at the very top are the Central Region Human Race led by Xiao Tianzhan.
Xiao Tianzhan had always known about the miserable plight of the Northern Region's human race, but he had never thought of helping them.
He felt that the structure was reasonable and that it would be bad to break it.
King Guangming, being a member of the Northern Region's human race, received a great deal of support when he issued a call to action.
As for those alien races, they were all opportunists. When they saw Xiao Tian defeated by the Bright Heaven King, the vast majority of them turned against him.
In just a thousand years, the King of Light has controlled three-quarters of the northern region.
Xiao Tianzhan's territory was reduced to only a quarter of its original size, and his supporters were all from the Central Region human race.
The Northern Humans have always been the native inhabitants of the Northern Region. Although their numbers have declined considerably, they still occupy the vast majority of the territory.
The human race in the Central Region has developed considerably, and their numbers have increased significantly.
However, their numbers are still very small compared to the Northern Region human race.
"Your Majesty, Master Zhang Wendao requests an audience."
An angel walked in.
“This Zhang Wendao really deserves to die. If he hadn’t wanted to dig up the Dark Temple, he wouldn’t have released the King of Light.”
Xiao Tianzhan's face turned red with anger: "This guy is really bold. Let him in, and I'll see what he has to say."
"OK."
The angel nodded.
"Northern Emperor, it's been a long time."
Zhang Wendao entered the main hall and bowed to Xiao Tianzhan.
"You really deserve to die."
Xiao Tianzhan's face turned ashen.
Zhang Wendao sighed and said, "The Northern Emperor is blaming me. I didn't want this to happen, but I had no choice. Nobody wants this accident to happen."
"Weren't you always searching for the strongest ancient ancestor? Did you find him after paying such a high price?"
Xiao Tianzhan forcibly suppressed his anger, knowing that killing Zhang Wendao would bring him no benefit whatsoever.
Moreover, Zhang Wendao has many methods, so he cannot be killed casually.
Zhang Wendao has an extremely high IQ and is meticulous in his work.
If he dares to come to see me, he must have a way to escape.
"Found it."
Zhang asked in response.
"Found it?"
Xiao Tianzhan looked surprised: "You found the corpse of the strongest ancient ancestor."
He knew how strong the strongest ancient ancestor was; he had once come to the Northern Region when he was only at the Earthly Realm level.
Xiao Tianzhan happened to witness an earth-shattering battle, in which the strongest ancient ancestor fought against five opponents and still maintained the upper hand.
The result was the fall of the strongest ancient ancestor, and the death of two of the five late-stage Heavenly Realm experts.
Even now that Xiao Tianzhan has broken through to the early stage of the Heavenly One Realm, he still feels that the strongest ancient ancestor is a mountain.
He wants to overcome it, which is a very difficult thing.
“No, with the scale of your schemes, if you were to find the corpse of the strongest ancient ancestor, you wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.” Xiao Tianzhan immediately realized something was wrong.
"The Northern Emperor understands me best. I have found the strongest ancient ancestor, but the strongest ancient ancestor is not dead," Zhang Wendao sighed.
"What did you say!"
Xiao Tianzhan exclaimed in astonishment, "You mean the strongest ancient ancestor is still alive?"
"That's right, it's extremely difficult for beings like this to die."
Zhang Wendao nodded.
"The Northern Region is completely out of control. I couldn't even handle the Bright Heaven King. With the resurgence of the strongest ancient ancestor, I may be stuck in the Northern Region forever."
Xiao Tianzhan's expression turned extremely pale.
"I unearthed many powerful figures from the Dark Temple and some ancient powerhouses from other forces. I sacrificed them all, intending to refine the strongest ancient ancestor into a corpse puppet. However, I failed. This strongest ancient ancestor is still alive, and I cannot refine him."
Zhang Wendao did not mention that someone had seized the initiative and inherited the legacy of the strongest ancient ancestor.
He concealed this shameful matter, saying that the strongest ancient ancestor was alive, but the attempt to create a corpse puppet had failed.
"You've come to see me today, so what is it that you're trying to do? Don't try to hide it, or it will only affect our cooperation."
Xiao Tianzhan was considering returning to the Central Region; the Northern Region was far too dangerous.
Before the Bright King could be dealt with, the strongest ancient ancestor appeared.
"Since the Northern Emperor has said so, I won't hide anything from him."
Zhang Wendao bluntly stated, "What I mean is that once we return to the Central Region, the strongest ancient ancestor will soon be resurrected. The timeframe is over 20,000 years, but that time is too short for us cultivators."
"You make it sound so simple. Do you think I can just leave whenever I want?"
Xiao Tianzhan was very reluctant to give up his current power, having controlled the entire Northern Region for so long.
He used to be the strongest general of the Dao Domain Emperor, but he was always inferior to others.
In the Northern Region, Xiao Tianzhan enjoyed things he had never experienced before; he was the strongest person in the Northern Region.
"Lord Beidi is reluctant to give up his power here, isn't he?"
Zhang asked with a smile.
"You are a smart man, but some of your words are too blunt, and they could lead to your death."
Xiao Tianzhan's face turned gloomy.
"Don't get angry, it will only affect the adults' judgment."
Zhang Wendao had hidden trump cards and was not afraid of Xiao Tianzhan at all.
Although he might not be able to defeat Xiao Tianzhan even with his trump card, escaping would be no problem.
“You’re a smart man. Help me analyze the current situation. I’m reluctant to give up the power in the Northern Region, but the Central Region isn’t a place I can just go back to whenever I want.”
Xiao Tianzhan suppressed his anger and temporarily maintained his composure.
"The strongest ancient ancestor goes without saying. Even the Northern Emperor can't deal with the King of Light now. The King of Light is a Heavenly King of the Dark Temple, but you should know how terrifying ancient powerhouses are."
"This King of Light is the most powerful of the four kings of the Dark Temple. In the past, even the three kings working together could not kill the King of Light. Moreover, the Dark Emperor despises everyone else, but he only gives the King of Light a second glance."
"The Dark Emperor comprehended the laws of darkness and the Great Dao, while the King of Light comprehended the laws of light and the Great Dao. The two had roughly the same depth of understanding of the Great Dao and the laws. The fact that the Dark Emperor was able to attain enlightenment first did not mean that he was stronger than the King of Light."
"The main reason is that the Dark Emperor was born earlier than the Light King and had comprehended the Dark Dao before. If the two had been born at the same time, the Northern Region would have produced two powerhouses at the late stage of the Heavenly One Realm."
Zhang Wendao learned about these things from the people of the Dark Temple.
Xiao Tianzhan's expression softened: "You mean my defeat to the King of Light is not something dishonorable?"
"That's one way to understand it."
Zhang Wendao nodded and said, "This is also why I let the Northern Emperor leave. You are currently capable of fighting the Bright Heaven King, but as the Bright Heaven King's realm increases, do you think you can still defeat him?"
"Even if you think you can beat them, can you defeat the strongest ancient ancestor? This Northern Region is a place of trouble, the sooner you leave, the better."
Xiao Tianzhan fell into a brief moment of contemplation, pondering the question of whether to stay or leave.
