Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Of course, Jun Wu Xie wasn't simply concerned about being scolded behind his back, or being called cruel and ruthless.

If there weren't special reasons, he wouldn't care about those things at all.

Not only was Long Huan puzzled, but Zi Yun also harbored similar doubts, as did his old acquaintances.

Based on their understanding of their Divine Lord, he wouldn't possibly care about what others said.

Jun Wu Xie glanced at them and said, "The imperial dynasty was only recently established, and there's still a long way to go before unifying the Upper Realm. The experiences of the imperial dynasty over these years aren't enough to make the citizens support me wholeheartedly in every situation.

You might wonder why I care about this.

That's because you don't understand how to become stronger upon entering the Legendary Realm after reaching the peak of the Divine Realm. I need the faith of the masses, the kind that's willing and not forced by coercion or other reasons.

Since we're born in this era, unable to stay out of it, and destined to survive only by confronting the apocalyptic torrent, I've created a force and unified the starry sky. Naturally, I must make good use of this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for becoming stronger in the future.

If this had happened after unifying the Upper Realm, I naturally wouldn't need to worry, but for now, it's better to be cautious.

Also, letting the Lower Realm Alliance take the blame forces them to make a choice at this time. After doing that, the Lower Realm Alliance will no longer be what it used to be. If they don't rely on my Dawn Dynasty, they will find it difficult to move forward in the future.

The Lower Realm Alliance is very strong. Why wouldn't I be happy to bring such a force under my command?

Although the Lower Realm Alliance and us are only allies now, the timeline for them joining the imperial dynasty won't be too long, and now we need to take the first step."

"Such deep foresight, only the Divine Lord could have thought of it."

Long Huan and the others couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this, realizing they hadn't considered so much.

"By the way, Divine Lord, what is this Legendary Realm you mentioned above the Divine Realm?"

They were very curious about this. Regarding realms above the Saint Realm, all they knew was the Demigod Realm, which they had only learned about from fragmented words in ancient secrets.

"You'll know when you reach the late stage of the Divine Realm. The Legendary Realm is too distant for you now, and understanding it too early isn't a good thing.

Because cultivation in that realm is completely different from cultivation now. Currently, you should focus wholeheartedly on cultivating in the Saint Realm."

… …

After Jun Wu Xie left the Lower Realm Alliance, he swaggered along the streets of the city with dozens of people, communicating with them through divine sense along the way.

They had long attracted the attention of the people in the City of Unrest, and as they walked, countless eyes watched them, all whispering and discussing enthusiastically.

The people of the City of Unrest were incredibly curious about him. This was a legendary young man who had been creating miracles all the way from the beginning of his cultivation!

They originally thought that Jun Wu Xie might not be able to take his old friends away from the three ancient aristocratic families, but he actually did it!

The people living in this city were very clear about how powerful the three ancient aristocratic families were.

Usually, they had suffered no small amount of bullying from the three ancient aristocratic families. If it weren't for the deterrence and constraints of the laws established by the Lower Realm Alliance, the three ancient aristocratic families would probably devour them, leaving not even bones behind.

"The Dawn Divine Lord is indeed a legendary figure, even the three ancient aristocratic families had to let people go!"

"If he didn't have the means, could he have quelled the apocalyptic torrent and swept away the darkness in the Lower Realm back then? Besides, in recent years, his Dawn Dynasty has risen at an unimaginable speed, expanding its territory like crazy in such a beautiful place. Isn't that an incredible thing?"

"I have to say, the Dawn Divine Lord is truly heroic and extraordinary!"

"That's right, the Divine Lord is so handsome!"

Some girls' eyes turned into hearts, murmuring with intoxication and infatuation.

"Superficial! We're talking about temperament, do you understand temperament? All you women only look at appearance! If the temperament is wretched, what's the use of being handsome! But the Divine Lord is different, he has both good temperament and high appearance! I can't take it anymore, I'm moved, but unfortunately I'm a man. I just don't know if the Divine Lord likes men?"

"Damn it, you dead rabbit, can you not be so disgusting! Do you think the Dawn Divine Lord would like men? It's a good thing he can't hear you, otherwise he would definitely kick you to death and get rid of your perversion!"

… …

For half an hour, Jun Wu Xie and the others strolled along the streets of the city, walking very slowly, about the same speed as mortals shopping.

This made many people in this city know that he had successfully brought his old friends out of the three ancient aristocratic families. The news spread quickly, and by the time they finally accelerated to leave the city, it had almost spread throughout.

Far away from the City of Unrest, Jun Wu Xie stopped in a barren mountain range.

He gave some rare resources, including the Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruit, to his old friends, and then had the Primordial Avatar and the Hunyuan Ancient Ancestors of several tribes take all his old friends back to the Dawn Dynasty at full speed, with Long Huan secretly escorting them along the way.

"Long Huan, after escorting them back to the imperial dynasty, return here. We'll be waiting for you in the council hall of the Lower Realm Alliance."

"Divine Lord, rest assured, Long Huan remembers."

Long Huan nodded, then disappeared into the void.

"Alright, go, don't look anymore."

Seeing his old friends looking at him with reluctance, Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but smile and say, "It's not like we're saying goodbye forever, you don't need to be like this. When you get to the Dawn Dynasty, it'll be your second home, the Immortal Execution Dynasty is your first home.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've already opened a portal to the Lower Realm in the imperial capital of the Dawn Dynasty, you can return to the Lower Realm to visit at any time.

You can ask Xu Yan Ning about the location of the portal after you arrive at the imperial dynasty. She's now one of the people in charge of the Immortal Execution Dynasty, and also my imperial consort."

"Can we go back to the Lower Realm?"

His old friends were all extremely excited upon hearing this.

These years have been too difficult in the Upper Realm, and the more difficult it is, the more they recall the days in the Lower Realm, and the more they miss the Lower Realm!

Now, hearing that they can return to the Lower Realm at any time, their emotions surged, and they couldn't help but tear up.

"I want to go back to the Lower Realm to see Uncle Bird and Grandpa Jiu, and many, many more people!"

Xu Dao Ling shouted excitedly, his face full of excitement, he really missed them too much.

"I want to go back to see the elders of the sect!"

"I want to go back and see my relatives… …"

… …

The group set off with the Primordial Avatar and the ancient ancestors of several tribes, their figures quickly disappearing from sight.

"There are still some people, I don't know where they are now… …"

Watching them leave, Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

He still had very important people who he hasn't heard from at all, and he doesn't know where they are, or if they are safe… …

"Divine Lord, your mood seems very heavy."

Zi Yun sensed his emotions and couldn't help but show concern.

"There are still some people who are incredibly important to me, and I haven't heard from them at all. I don't even know which ancient life star in the starry sky they are on… …"

Jun Wu Xie sighed, thinking of Ling Fei, Wan Wan, Qin Keqing, Su Lan, Qing Yue, Junior Brother Kongxu, and so on.

"Good people have their own blessings, they will all be fine, Divine Lord, don't worry too much."

Zi Yun didn't know how to comfort him either. Now, the Divine Lord's reputation was growing, and the forces targeting him would treat him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, doing everything possible to turn their attention to his old friends.

The Soul Hunting Sacred Palace could do this, and other forces might do the same, after all, even the three ancient aristocratic families in the City of Unrest did this.

"I hope so."

Jun Wu Xie was most worried about Qin Keqing and Su Lan, and Wan Wan.

When they left the Lower Realm, Keqing and Su Lan had the lowest cultivation levels, so they would be more dangerous when they arrived in the Upper Realm.

As for Shangguan Wan Wan, although she was very strong among her generation, she was pregnant with his child.

Back then, the fetus in Wan Wan's body was sealed by the Goddess of Demons and had never grown.

Later, Wan Wan returned, but because the apocalyptic torrent was getting closer and closer, it was not suitable to give birth to offspring at that time, so the seal was not released.

More than ten years have passed, and he doesn't know how Wan Wan and the child are doing, whether the child is still sealed, or has already been born.

Ling Fei, relatively speaking, was the one he was least worried about, after all, among all the people sent to the Upper Realm back then, Ling Fei was the strongest, and much stronger than the others.

In the Lower Realm, Ling Fei's realm was suppressed by order, but when she arrived in the Upper Realm, she could instantly return to the Supreme Saint Realm, after all, she was originally a Supreme Being of a realm.

With such powerful strength, as long as she didn't actively provoke a large force and attract a Hunyuan to take action, she wouldn't have any survival pressure.

… …

They didn't stay in the mountain range for long and quietly returned to the Lower Realm Alliance.

Alliance Leader Xie had been waiting in front of the council hall in the alliance.

Seeing him and Zi Yun return, he warmly welcomed them in.

Jun Wu Xie and Alliance Leader Xie chatted casually, occasionally mentioning the various events of the Dawn Dynasty in recent years, and also talking about the difficulties and pressures faced by the Lower Realm Alliance in this City of Unrest for thousands of years.

Before long, Long Heng, who had been secretly escorting them, returned.

"Alliance Leader Xie, there shouldn't be any problems with the ancient ancestors in your forbidden area, right? If there are any problems, please take me to see them."

"Such a big matter naturally requires the consent of the ancient ancestors. To be honest, when we were discussing this matter earlier, Xie was secretly communicating with the ancient ancestors, and they agreed."

Jun Wu Xie nodded and said nothing more, just waiting quietly.

It wasn't until late at night that a large number of figures suddenly gathered in the square in front of the council hall.

These people were all experts from the Lower Realm Alliance, the weakest of whom were at the Perfected Saint Ancestor Realm, including a large number of Supreme Saint Realm cultivators, hundreds of Hunyuan Saint Realm cultivators, but only two Eternal Saint Realm experts.

These two Eternal Saints were not very old and had both become Eternal in the current era. Therefore, there would be no price to pay for breaking the seal and emerging.

“Lord Monarch, our people have all arrived. We only have these two powerhouses at the Eternal Saint Realm. Mainly because you have these two seniors here, there's no need for our other Eternal powerhouses to pay the price to force their way out. I hope you don't mind.”

“This is already very good. I said long ago that the goal is for you to take the blame for this matter. As for the rest, it's secondary.”

He then looked at Ziyun and Long Huan, and said, “Start with the Han family. When the time comes, directly seal off the Han family. Remember to use an invisible barrier and carry out tonight's plan quietly.”

After that, he said to Alliance Leader Xie, “Wipe out the three clans, and tomorrow, your Lower Realm Alliance will announce that you destroyed them.”

After he finished speaking, his whole body flowed with a mysterious light, and in an instant, he changed his appearance, even his aura changed.

Seeing this, Ziyun and Long Huan also changed their appearances. After all, the three ancient aristocratic families would leave behind some of the old, weak, women, and children. In any case, they couldn't let them see their true faces.
