"Alright," Yang Lao said as everyone was arguing.
Immediately, everyone stopped.
"Section Chief Duan Heng, is the other party willing to fight the Evil Demon Clan together?" Yang Lao asked Section Chief Duan Heng.
He didn't care if the other party was stronger than him; he only cared if the other party would help.
Hearing this, Section Chief Duan Heng nodded repeatedly.
"Yang Lao, that's what I wanted to say. The other party has already promised me that they will definitely come to help when the Evil Demons invade."
Hearing this, Yang Lao smiled.
"Good, good, good!"
Saying "good" three times in a row was enough to show how happy Yang Lao was.
Looking at the tranquil starry sky, Yang Lao slowly said, "The endless years of peace in this Hongmeng Universe were bought with the lives of our ancestors. Now, it's our turn."
Around him, everyone's expressions were solemn.
Just then, two Causality Realm experts arrived before them, their faces somewhat gloomy.
Seeing their expressions, everyone frowned.
"Elder Gu, what's going on?" one person asked.
These two had recently gone to various top forces in the Universe to deliver messages.
To be precise, they were asking those top forces in the Universe to come and help when the Evil Demons invaded.
But seeing the expressions of the two, everyone felt a little uncertain.
At this moment, one of them said in a deep voice, "Those forces are just paying lip service; they have no intention of contributing."
Hearing this, everyone's mood immediately sank to the bottom.
Don't these short-sighted fellows know what it means to be interdependent?
Could it be that the entire Universe truly had to rely only on them?
Yang Lao sighed, "Let's not worry about them. However many people can come, let them come."
Hearing this, everyone stopped saying anything more.
After all, the high-end combat power of the entire Universe was gathered here. It wasn't as if they couldn't manage without those forces.
It was just that they felt disheartened.
This wasn't just their Hongmeng Universe.
......
A certain galaxy.
In a very powerful force.
"Sect Master, the Evil Demons are invading the Universe. Are we really not going?" a person within the Sect asked worriedly.
Hearing this, the Sect Master snorted, "The Hongmeng Universe is vast and boundless. One less Sect like ours won't matter much. Even if they can't hold out, that's their business."
These words were extremely selfish.
However, the people beside him nodded in agreement.
"The Sect Master is right."
In the dark, above the Void Realm, Lu Daosheng shook his head in disappointment as he heard the words of the few people in the hall.
He had come here to persuade this force to fight against the Evil Demon Clan together.
Because he didn't want to dishearten the heroes who were diligently guarding the Universe's border.
For this, he didn't hesitate to make a personal trip.
He originally thought that with the Evil Demon Clan invading the entire Hongmeng Universe, the beings of the Universe would surely unite against a common enemy. He believed he only needed to explain the pros and cons, and these forces would understand.
But apparently, it wasn't that simple.
However, Lu Daosheng did not give up.
What he lacked least were strength and resources.
Since he couldn't make these forces actively go to help, he could only use other methods.
Lu Daosheng looked towards the deepest part of the Sect below.
There, existed an extremely powerful and ancient being.
Boom—
In the deepest part of the Sect, an old man on the verge of death suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, the old man directly broke out of seclusion and appeared outside the Cultivation room.
"Who!"
Just now, he had detected an extremely dangerous aura.
At this moment, Lu Daosheng appeared before the old man.
Causality Realm!
No wonder he could attract those at the border barrier to seek help; a Causality Realm expert indeed had great appeal.
However, they had overlooked one point.
This old man was clearly nearing the end of his Lifespan and could only enter death seclusion to seek a bit more Lifespan and opportunity.
How could he participate in such a major battle?
That's why they hit a wall.
But Lu Daosheng was different.
"How about we make a deal?" Lu Daosheng said with a smile.
As if seeing Lu Daosheng's extraordinariness, the old man did not get angry but asked indifferently, "Tell me about it."
Immediately, Lu Daosheng slowly pulled out a crystal.
It was permeated with countless pure Qi.
Seeing this object, the old man's breathing immediately quickened, his gaze greedily fixed on the crystal in Lu Daosheng's hand.
"What do you want me to do?" the old man asked urgently.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng smiled slightly, "Fight against the Evil Demon Clan."
Hearing this, the old man immediately hesitated.
The object before him was indeed very tempting, but fighting a major battle with the Evil Demon Clan meant that if he wasn't careful, he could even lose his life.
Seeing the old man still hesitating, Lu Daosheng took out another item.
It was a Medicinal Pill with a faint fragrance.
In an instant, the old man almost drooled.
Just by smelling it, his Realm began to stir.
What if he ate it?
"Good, this old man agrees!" This time, the old man agreed directly.
"However, you must give me this Medicinal Pill first."
Lu Daosheng nodded, "Alright, but at that time, you cannot go alone."
The old man directly said, "I will bring all the experts of the entire Sect. How dare a mere Evil Demon Clan invade my Hongmeng Universe."
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng smiled and said no more, then handed the Medicinal Pill and the crystal to the old man.
"Remember what you said."
Then, Lu Daosheng disappeared from the spot.
Watching Lu Daosheng leave, the old man immediately became excited.
The next moment, the old man directly swallowed the Medicinal Pill.
In an instant, a vast Medicinal Pill power continuously bombarded the old man's entire meridians, and the old man's aura also began to surge rapidly.
Feeling his strength increase, the old man couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This, this is Old Ancestor's aura!"
Immediately, countless experts within the Sect rushed towards here.
Seeing the old man, everyone's faces were filled with immense joy.
"Old Ancestor has achieved a Breakthrough!"
"Hahaha, Old Ancestor has achieved a Breakthrough, that's great."
After an unknown amount of time, the old man's aura gradually calmed down.
At this moment, the Sect Master jogged to the old man, an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Old Ancestor, you…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the old man interrupted him.
"Pass on my order: the entire Sect is to enter Level One status. When the Evil Demon Clan descends, all Emperor Realm experts are to rush to the Universe's border."
Hearing this, the Sect Master was immediately shocked.
"Yes, Old Ancestor."
Taking a deep breath, he quickly agreed.
Since Old Ancestor had spoken, how dared he say anything?
Moreover, Old Ancestor had now advanced another step, so he didn't dare to utter a single peep.
If there was a fight, then there was a fight. He would just hide far away when the time came.
Meanwhile, the old man on the spot looked at the direction Lu Daosheng had left, his eyes filled with solemnity. He knew nothing about Lu Daosheng, but the other party had been so generous.
Clearly, that was an existence he absolutely could not provoke.
Therefore, he gladly agreed to fight against the Evil Demon Clan.
It wasn't confidence in himself, but confidence in Lu Daosheng. He believed that at that time, the other party would absolutely not watch the Hongmeng Universe fall.
......
In the starry sky, Lu Daosheng was searching for the next force.
That Medicinal Pill was bought from the System Store; its Medicinal Pill power was extremely strong, enough for the old man to Break through to the Life and Death Realm.
However, every medicine has three parts poison.
A Realm improved by taking Medicinal Pills was ultimately not the optimal way.
This was also why Lu Daosheng did not directly use Medicinal Pills to forcibly raise the Realm of his subordinates but chose to let them Cultivate on their own.
However, for a period before the Evil Demon invasion, Lu Daosheng would still give them good special training.
This little bit of strength was not nearly enough to face the Evil Demon Clan.
Soon, Lu Daosheng arrived at another extremely powerful force.
"I'm sorry, this Sect does not wish to put our Sect in danger."
Facing Lu Daosheng's invitation, the Sect Master before him decisively refused.
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng frowned.
"You should know that the Evil Demon Clan is invading the entire Hongmeng Universe, which also includes your Great Flame Galaxy."
"So what?" the Sect Master of the Great Flame Sect said indifferently.
Looking at the man's attitude, Lu Daosheng shook his head.
The next moment, a trace of terrifying aura emanated from Lu Daosheng's body.
However, it disappeared in an instant.
But even for just a moment, the entire Great Flame Sect truly felt it.
Before Lu Daosheng, the Sect Master of the Great Flame Sect had a somewhat terrified expression.
The other party's strength was actually so terrifying.
"You…"
Just then, another aura resonated from deep within the Sect.
"It's Old Ancestor!" the people within the Sect exclaimed upon feeling this aura.
The next moment, an old man in a fiery red robe appeared before Lu Daosheng.
Seeing Lu Daosheng, the old man frowned.
"May I ask Your Excellency's identity?"
Lu Daosheng glanced at the old man and said, "Who I am is not important. It's just, does your Great Flame Sect truly not wish to jointly fight against the Evil Demon Clan with the Hongmeng Universe?"
Hearing this, the old man's pupils contracted.
"The Evil Demon Clan is going to descend again!?"
Beside him, the Sect Master of the Great Flame Sect kept his head bowed low.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng also understood.
It turned out this old man did not know about this yet.
"A hundred years from now, the Evil Demon Clan will break through the Universe border barrier and completely invade the Hongmeng Universe."
Hearing this, the old man's face immediately turned extremely gloomy.
Taking a deep breath, the old man said in a deep voice, "At that time, my Great Flame Sect will definitely assist with full strength!"
Looking at the old man's resolute gaze, Lu Daosheng was stunned, then smiled.
"Good."
Then, Lu Daosheng handed a storage ring to the old man.
"These are enough for you to Break through to the Life and Death Realm."
After speaking, Lu Daosheng left.
On the spot, looking at the storage ring in his hand, the old man was stunned.
And when he saw what was inside the storage ring, the old man's breathing immediately quickened.
"Old Ancestor…"
"Shut up! From now on, you are no longer the Sect Master of the Great Flame Sect!"
"Ah!?"
"Someone! Take him away."
Immediately, two experts directly dragged him away.
The old man put away the storage ring, looked up at the starry sky, and murmured, "Ancestor, I will definitely avenge the grudge from back then."
