As soon as the ancestor of the Taotie tribe finished speaking, the ancestor of the Taotie tribe, unable to contain his excitement, immediately shouted loudly, "Hey old Taotie, being imprisoned here for so many years, are you about to go crazy from being cooped up like this!"
"What strange things could the human race have? Back then, the number of people among the human race who could be called earth-shattering figures, such as the Ancestor of Humanity, the Chaos Emperor, and Ye Zhetian, was extremely rare, and could be counted on one's fingers."
"If such an extraordinary figure truly emerged among the human race today, it probably wouldn't be this old man on his deathbed who came here!"
At this point, the ancestor of the Taotie clan paused, then continued to roar: "Back in the past, since the birth of humankind, through countless years, what they still rely on today is the same group of old guys who were struggling to keep them afloat at the very beginning of creation!"
"Look at our ferocious beast clan. If it weren't for that old bastard, the Human Ancestor, cruelly severing the Flying Immortal Platform, thus obstructing our path of cultivation, I dare say that the ferocious beast clan today would be no less powerful than it was at its peak in the past!"
"The younger generation of our clan has either already become a forbidden supreme powerhouse, or a forbidden invincible being! Since that's the case, why should we worry about this matter?"
The ancestor of the Qiqiong clan slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Indeed, what the old Taotie said is absolutely right."
"Since these guys dare to make a bet, we have to make them lose miserably and be doomed!"
His gaze swept over the crowd around him, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The ancestor of the Taotie clan had initially hesitated, but seeing everyone's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to reluctantly acquiesce.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, we will accept this bet."
"If they try to renege on their promise then... humph! We'll unleash a massacre!"
At this moment, the ancestor of the Chaos Clan stepped forward. He looked directly at Indra and said without fear, "You old codger, we accept this bet."
After saying that, he even raised his chin provocatively at Indra.
Seeing this, Indra smiled slightly and replied, "Very good! Since everyone is so agreeable, let's make this oath of Heaven together."
"To ensure that this bet can proceed fairly and justly."
As he spoke, he extended his right index finger and made a light stroke, from which a drop of bright red blood welled up.
Immediately afterwards, the ancestors of the other nine imperial clans of the ferocious beast race also exchanged glances and nodded to each other in tacit understanding.
Then, they all imitated Indra's actions, each forcing out a drop of blood. The ten drops of blood gathered together in the air, shining brightly like a dazzling ruby.
Under the guidance of Indra, the ten drops of blood began to slowly merge and gradually form a mysterious and complex runic pattern.
As the runes were perfected, a powerful pressure emanated from them, as if the entire world was trembling.
Finally, when the runes were fully formed, Indra shouted, "Heaven above, witness our oath today! Anyone who breaks it will be punished by heaven, their soul scattered and never to be reincarnated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rune suddenly burst into a dazzling light and vanished into the void.
After taking a deep breath, Indra decisively said, "Since things have come to this, everyone, we should quickly return to our clans and prepare for the worst."
"On our side, the human race also has many follow-up matters that urgently need to be dealt with."
After saying this, he slightly cupped his hands in a gesture of "please," and said loudly, "Everyone, please!"
At the same time, the ancestors of the ten great imperial clans of the ferocious beasts all snorted coldly with gloomy expressions upon hearing this.
They emanated powerful auras, and with flashes of light, their figures instantly transformed into streaks of light, disappearing from their original spots in the blink of an eye, leaving only a gust of wind howling past.
After all the ferocious beasts and people of all races had left, Di Shitian turned around and faced the crowd before him.
His eyes were sharp as he scanned the area and said in a deep voice, "This trip to that tribe is of great importance, so let me go there myself."
"As for you, hurry to other areas of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and inform all the immortal forces in detail what has happened here, so that they can prepare countermeasures as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded knowingly and replied in unison, "Yes, Elder Tian!"
Before the words were even finished, they each unleashed their supernatural powers and magic, their figures vanishing without a trace in an instant, leaving only Indra standing alone on the spot.
Indra gazed silently in the direction the crowd had left, and after a moment of silence, slowly withdrew his gaze.
He looked up at the distant Taiyuan Heaven, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It's been a long time since I've been to that clan. I wonder what kind of expression Elder Yuan Sheng will show when he sees me."
After saying that, he gently shook his head, no longer thinking about it. A spatial rift flashed by, and Di Shitian's figure immediately disappeared into the spatial rift.
Meanwhile, in the Taiyuan Tianyuan Clan, ranked tenth in the Nine Heavens, the ninth and eighth ancestors of the clan sat quietly deep within their ancestral land, their eyes closed, like two ancient and steadfast mountains, immersed in a profound state of spiritual cultivation.
However, at that moment, without any warning, the two of them suddenly opened their eyes at almost the same instant, as if they were telepathically connected.
Their incredibly powerful divine senses, like two bolts of lightning, simultaneously rushed towards the gate of the Yuan Clan.
Immediately afterward, when their divine senses touched the scene outside the door, their expressions changed slightly in unison, and each revealed a helpless bitter smile.
The Ninth Ancestor broke the silence first, shaking his head with a wry smile and sighing, "Alas, this old fellow, why has he come here again?"
"Every time he comes to our Yuan clan, nothing good ever comes of it!"
"Do you remember last time? He shamelessly stayed here for several years, insisting that Cang Sheng and Hong Lian go to the Boundary Sea."
Hearing this, the Eighth Ancestor nodded in deep agreement and added, "Who says otherwise? Although Cang Sheng and Hong Lian later went through many hardships in the Boundary Sea, their cultivation and strength were greatly improved."
"But this old guy's tantrums and unreasonable behavior are really annoying. I really don't know what he came here for."
After a moment's thought, the Ninth Patriarch decisively said, "Never mind, let's go out and see him first, no matter what."
After speaking, he exchanged a glance with the Eighth Ancestor, and then their figures flashed, like two shooting stars streaking across the sky, disappearing from the ancestral land in the blink of an eye. The next moment, they had already appeared outside the gates of the Yuan Clan.
When Indra saw the Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs appear from afar, he immediately burst into hearty laughter, cupping his hands in greeting as he laughed, saying, "Haha, my two fellow Daoists, it has been a long time since we last met! I have missed you both dearly!"
His laughter was deafening, echoing through the sky, as if it contained boundless heroic spirit.
