As the chanting began, a figure dressed in bright yellow armor strode into the main hall.
A chilling aura swept over them, and the temperature in the entire main hall seemed to drop several degrees. Ding Yi and Jiang Chengye, who were sitting upright, also changed their expressions slightly.
The newcomer was tall and had a cold face. On his forehead, there was a dark gold mark that looked like a scar, which added a touch of evil to his appearance.
"That's... Wang Shuo?"
"Are you kidding me!"
Bai Fei and Zhao Keyi were both startled, and one after the other showed an expression of disbelief.
They now occupied the celestial positions of the heavenly generals, naturally appearing shorter than that figure. Yet, they couldn't believe that this oppressive feeling came from a "dead man" they knew.
The sinking was quite a shock.
Unlike others, Shen Qian had already clashed with Wang Shuo after his supposed resurrection.
At that time, although Shen Qian sensed that there was another very powerful ancient soul on Wang Shuo, that soul was clearly still asleep and did not cause Shen Qian any trouble.
But now, Shen Qian could clearly sense that the aura that Wang Shuo was subtly exuding was completely different.
It was as powerful as an abyss, yet also exuded an extreme sense of unfamiliarity.
Without a doubt, the ancient martial artist who had been sleeping has awakened.
Shen Qian never expected that this ancient martial artist was actually Erlang Shen from the Heavenly Realm!
Among the many immortals and gods in the celestial realm, that would definitely be one of the top-tier combat powers.
In other words, Erlang Shen... is very likely a king or nobleman.
According to Tantai Qin, the collapse of the Heavenly Realm affected many immortals and gods, and even those who survived could not possibly regain their former strength.
But how weak can a former king or nobleman be?
Moreover... Wang Shuo did not come alone.
Behind him followed more than a dozen powerful individuals.
To Shen Qian's surprise, Nie Han and Ning Quan were also among them.
"These two are still alive?"
Bai Fei was also surprised, and his expression immediately turned serious. "They know we have a page of the Heavenly Book. It seems things won't end well today, especially with Erlang Shen on top of that..."
Shen Qian suddenly realized that things were getting tricky.
Wang Shuo, whose cultivation level is unknown, Nie Han and Ning Quan, whose strength is at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm, plus more than a dozen top Mountain and Sea experts.
The three of them are not easy to deal with.
At this moment, Nie Han and Ning Quan, who were behind Wang Shuo, also noticed Shen Qian and the others. Nie Han walked up behind Wang Shuo and whispered a few words.
Wang Shuo showed a hint of surprise, and then his gaze fell on Shen Qian.
Just as Shen Qian frowned slightly, Wang Shuo suddenly chuckled, withdrew his gaze, and walked straight towards Ding Yi's direction.
"Are Wang Shuo and Ding Yi in cahoots?"
Zhao Keyi's eyes widened.
"Erlang Shen and Jiutian Xuannv are both ancient immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court, could it be..." Bai Fei's expression was also unpleasant.
"not necessarily."
Shen Qian noticed that although Ding Yi's expression was calm, his body was obviously tense and he was on guard. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Erlang Shen, you actually survived too."
Ding Yi, or rather, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, spoke first, her expression complex.
"I have to thank the Mysterious Maiden for her guidance back then. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong early on, I would probably have foolishly walked into the trap of the Four Saints of the North Pole."
Wang Shuo was laughing, but his voice was icy cold.
"Do they have a grudge?"
Bai Fei's expression suddenly softened.
"Tantai told me that the beginning of the Heavenly Tribulation was the struggle between Erlang Shen and the Four Saints of the North Pole. Judging from their conversation, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden seemed to have also participated in it, and I'm afraid she was involved."
He transmitted his voice before sinking in.
"So, does that mean these two are definitely on opposite sides?" Zhao Keyi exclaimed with delight.
"The battle between Erlang Zhenjun and the Four Saints of the North Pole has caused great chaos in the Heavenly Realm. I am entrusted by the Heavenly Emperor and only want to end the chaos as soon as possible."
Ding Yi said coldly.
"Then why did you choose the Four Saints of the North Pole?"
Wang Shuo sneered, "Am I not qualified for you to follow me?"
"Erlang Zhenjun is joking. I only follow the Heavenly Emperor." Ding Yi shook his head.
Wang Shuo's face was gloomy, and he remained silent for a moment.
The atmosphere became subtle. With a "whoosh" sound, more than a dozen figures gathered from the tables around them and stood behind Ding Yi, watching Wang Shuo warily across from him.
"Sun Star Lord, Three Immortal Maidens, Barefoot, Five Sacred Mountains... Heh, you've already gathered quite a few people."
These men and women were completely unfamiliar to Shen Qian, but Wang Shuo recognized them immediately when he glanced at them.
"Mysterious Maiden, I'm giving you one more chance. Are you willing to join forces with me?"
After a change of expression in his eyes, Wang Shuo suddenly said.
"Why join forces?" Ding Yi asked.
"Naturally, it means rebuilding the celestial realm and recreating the universe!"
Wang Shuo said solemnly.
"Alright." Ding Yi responded first, then smiled faintly, "But... I wonder how True Lord intends to rebuild the Heavenly Realm?"
"By collecting all the Heavenly Books and comprehending the workings of creation, we can naturally rebuild the Heavenly Realm!"
Wang Shuo answered without hesitation.
"Who controls the Heavenly Book?" Ding Yi asked immediately.
"Ha, in this world, is there anyone more qualified than me, Erlang Zhenjun?"
Wang Shuo surveyed the surroundings with disdain, his voice like thunder, shaking the Jade Pool Palace.
"Forgive my bluntness, but I'm afraid the True Lord is being somewhat presumptuous."
