Upon hearing this, the Ancient Demon Lord frowned slightly, a look of doubt on her face, and asked softly, "Haoran, what exactly is going on?"
Yuan Haoran quickly explained with a smile, "Miao'er, this Tai'a Goddess is no outsider. She was the person personally chosen by our family's ninth ancestor for His Excellency's betrothal."
Upon hearing this, the ancient demon lord suddenly understood and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, his laughter as melodious as silver bells.
Immediately afterward, Yuan Zhexian came to his senses, waved to Yuan Haoran and the others, and said slowly, "You may all step back for now. I would like to have a private conversation with the Goddess Tai'a."
Tai'a Qingcheng understood immediately, turned to the elders beside her, and whispered, "Elders, you should all go and rest first."
Everyone present was a worldly-wise person, and they immediately understood what the two were thinking.
They nodded in agreement and then left the pavilion in an orderly fashion.
As everyone slowly withdrew, only the two of them remained in the vast space.
The two looked at each other, and an indescribable awkward atmosphere instantly filled the air, as if time had frozen at that moment.
No one knew how to start the conversation, and even the surrounding air seemed to sense the awkwardness, suddenly becoming unusually quiet.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian took a deep breath and broke the suffocating silence. He gazed at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Tai'a Qingcheng and said softly, "It's been more than two hundred years since we last met. Are you... well?"
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Tai'a Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, but then she realized what she meant. She nodded gently, a faint smile playing on her lips, and replied, "I'm doing alright. How about you?"
Hearing Tai'a Qingcheng's answer, Yuan Zhexian breathed a slight sigh of relief. He composed himself and continued, "I've had a fulfilling life these past few years."
"After a century of seclusion, he embarked on the path to godhood, established his own power, and killed six imperial princes of the ferocious beast imperial clan as well as the ancient imperial princes of the Nine Lands."
Tai'a Qingcheng listened quietly to Yuan Zhexian's story, her eyes revealing admiration. After he finished speaking, she replied, "I feel the same way."
"Since arriving in this eighth world, I have been fortunate to receive the help of several elders, who together created this mortal realm."
"We have been working tirelessly to resist the Fallen Emperor Palace, which was founded by the four incomparably ferocious beast emperors."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "In just two hundred years, your strength has improved to such a level. I am truly astonished."
"At first, I thought you were still in seclusion, diligently cultivating, and had not yet embarked on this thorny path to becoming an emperor."
Faced with Yuan Zhexian's question, Tai'a Qingcheng smiled slightly and explained calmly, "I am a reincarnation of an immortal."
"As my cultivation level continues to improve, my memories of my past life are gradually awakening."
"Having memories of my past life that give me insight into and understanding of the Dao, my advancement speed is exceptionally fast."
After saying this, Tai'a Qingcheng was stunned.
Even she herself was surprised that when faced with Yuan Zhexian's question, she would so readily reveal this secret hidden deep in her heart.
It should be known that everyone in the world knows that Tai'a Qingcheng is the reincarnation of an immortal, possessing terrifying talents and gifts.
However, they were unaware that as Tai'a Qingcheng's cultivation level steadily increased, her memories of her past life would also be awakened and gradually revived.
After hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian immediately nodded and replied, "So that's how it is! Now I am about to launch a fierce offensive against the Fallen Emperor Palace, which was founded by the Beast Emperor Clan, and prepare to kill the four imperial princes from the Beast Emperor Clan in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing this, Tai'a Qingcheng immediately looked concerned and asked, "Are you absolutely certain?"
"As far as I know, those four imperial princes have reached the pinnacle in terms of talent, aptitude, and personal strength, which can be described as terrifying."
"Moreover, under their command, there are four terrifyingly powerful elders, as well as dozens of powerful Tai'a clan elders personally overseeing things!"
At this point, Tai'a Qingcheng paused slightly, then added, "Especially that being who is known as the Chaos Emperor's Son, his strength is simply unfathomable, like a bottomless abyss, making it difficult for people to see his true strength."
Yuan Zhexian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely confident smile, and said loudly, "Since I was born, I have been invincible and have suppressed everything in the world."
"If we cannot even subdue those mere four ferocious beasts, how can we possibly ascend to the pinnacle of this Great Dao?"
Tai'a Qingcheng gazed at Yuan Zhexian with her beautiful eyes, a hint of admiration flashing in them. She immediately replied, "Alright! For the sake of our human race, whatever decision you make, I will fully support you."
For some reason, she had a strange sense of trust in Yuan Zhexian, as if any difficulties and obstacles could be overcome as long as he was there.
Yuan Zhexian nodded slightly, then turned to look at Tai'a Qingcheng and asked slowly, "After this matter is accomplished, is there a position you wish to occupy in the ancestral court? I will grant it to you."
However, Tai'a Qingcheng gently shook her head and parted her lips slightly: "Those so-called fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds to me."
"I have been in this mortal realm for many years, and I have always been a hands-off manager, with the clan affairs being handled by the elders. I usually spend most of my time in seclusion cultivating in order to break through to a higher realm."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but show his appreciation and nodded, saying, "If that's the case, then so be it."
"From this day forward, we must immediately begin to reorganize our forces and gather strength from all sides. Then we will launch an attack on the Fallen Emperor's Palace!"
Tai'a Qingcheng nodded without hesitation, expressing her willingness to fight alongside Yuan Zhexian.
After saying this, the two walked out of the pavilion side by side.
At this moment, many clansmen were anxiously waiting outside. Upon seeing them appear, the crowd gathered around.
Upon seeing this, Ji Jingtian immediately turned to Yuan Zhexian opposite him and asked with a playful tone, "Your Excellency, how is it going? Is it all settled?"
After saying that, she glanced at Tai'a Qingcheng.
Seeing his expression, Yuan Zhexian chuckled inwardly, but kept a straight face. He then replied, "What are you thinking! Goddess Tai'a has already agreed to join our ancestral court. We are currently gathering manpower, and soon we will attack the Fallen Emperor's Palace together and clear away the obstacles of the human race!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingtian's expression turned serious, and he quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhexian led his group, along with Tai'a Qingcheng and tens of thousands of Supreme Saint Realm experts from the Mortal Realm, streaking across the sky like brilliant shooting stars, speeding towards the direction of the Ancestral Court.
