Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 128 : The Birth of a New Race - Part 2

His thunderous declaration pierced the sky, leaving the gathered crowd in stunned disbelief. Could he be out of his mind?

Before they could fully grasp what was unfolding, the purple cloud in the sky dissipated as if it had never existed at all.

For a few moments, no one could comprehend what had just happened.

Did their sect master really just challenge the heavens?

How audacious was this?

While the people were still trying to wrap their heads around Su Yen's overbearing actions, a voice erupted from the soldiers.

"Long live the sect master!"

"Long live the sect master!"

Instantly, the dumbfounded crowd snapped out of their stupor and began chanting, "Long live the sect master."

A sense of excitement and pride surged through their veins, filling them with unprecedented pride in being a part of the barren land.

Their sect master had defied the heavens themselves. Who else could claim such a feat but their sect?

The chants continued for several minutes before Su Yen raised his hand. The chanting gradually subsided, and he began to address the crowd.

"Since the heavens can't stop us, tell me, who can?"

"No one!" the crowd roared in response.

"Now, remember this," Su Yen's voice was solemn. "You may have been weak, you may have been considered trash, but there is one thing you must never do. Never lower yourselves below those who do not share our Pagoda bloodline."

"This is the pride of the Pagoda bloodline. Remember this and keep it safe in your hearts."

The eyes of everyone in the crowd blazed with fervor. While the Pagoda bloodline had always instilled a bit of pride in their hearts, Su Yen's speech kindled a fire of unparalleled pride within them.

"This Pagoda represents our past, our present, and our future. When you're on the brink of death, remember the Pagoda will always be with you. In the afterlife, it will be with you. No matter the situation or condition, remember it will never abandon you. This is the covenant the Pagoda has made with us."

"Do you all agree to this covenant?" Su Yen's resonant voice echoed throughout every corner of the barren land.

"YES!" the crowd shouted with unwavering determination.

"This is a covenant that can never be broken, one that transcends time and space. Do you all agree?"

"YES!" they responded, their blood boiling as the Pagoda bloodline within them stirred with newfound strength.

Huang Yin's heart raced, her anticipation growing. She fixed her gaze on Su Yen, yearning for him to continue without delay.

She wasn't alone in her enthusiasm. The crowd felt a sense of belonging, purpose, and security for the first time in their lives.

Su Yen surveyed the crowd and sensed the power of their unwavering faith growing rapidly.

"It is time to let it loose," he mused in satisfaction.

"We stand before the heavens and the earth to bear witness to our covenant. We stand before the Celestial Heavenly Pagoda to bear witness…"

"On this day, we, the barren land, agree to the covenant of the Celestial Heavenly Pagoda. From generation to generation, you shall be our faith."

"Arise!" Su Yen shouted.

Instantly, a massive illusory Pagoda materialized behind Su Yen. As if by a chain reaction, an illusory Pagoda appeared behind everyone in the crowd.

A blinding black light shot toward the sky. Everyone raised their heads and beheld a distinct black Pagoda.

The colossal black Pagoda surged into the heavens, towering over the entire barren land.

It was an awe-inspiring sight that dominated the landscape, leaving those who beheld it in utter amazement and disbelief.

Four immense black Pagodas erected on the ground underwent a breathtaking transformation.

Intricate runes with various enigmatic markings began to manifest on the surface of these massive structures, their cryptic patterns radiating an otherworldly aura.

Simultaneously, in every corner of the Lotus World, a towering Pagoda manifested. This miraculous phenomenon left all the powerful beings hidden in the shadows utterly perplexed.

They emerged from their concealment and gazed upon the monumental spectacle with deep confusion.

Attempting to determine the direction from which the colossal Pagoda had appeared, they found themselves at a loss.

It was as if the Pagoda existed everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, defying the very laws of reality and space.

The appearance of this enigmatic structure cast the entire land into a state of chaos and bewilderment.

While chaos reigned in the mortal realm, a significant event unfolded in the upper immortal land.

A lantern ignited, its radiance spreading throughout the entire immortal land.

Despite the vast expanse of the immortal realm, every being residing there could see the illuminated lantern.

The mere appearance of this lantern heralded the commencement of an extraordinary occurrence.

It brought with it the manifestation of an ethereal, otherworldly hall that appeared suspended in the sky, a realm beyond the grasp of mortal comprehension.

Within this transcendent hall resided the lanterns representing the thousand most potent races in the universe.

Each lantern was a testament to the immense power of its respective race, illuminated by the collective efforts and achievements of their people.

However, on this momentous day, a new race had emerged, ready to accomplish the unimaginable.

This newly born lantern began to ascend with dazzling swiftness, rising through the hall and ascending toward the pinnacle of this extraordinary structure.

As it reached the level of the tenth lantern, the newcomer's lantern executed a daring maneuver. It breached the space of the tenth lantern and unseated it, taking its place.

Now, this recent arrival burned brilliantly, nearly rivaling the luminance of the ninth lantern, indicating that with a little more effort, it would successfully push the ninth lantern out of its established position.

Despite this monumental shift in the immortal realm's hierarchy, the overwhelming focus had shifted.

The immortal land was in upheaval, with ancient and dormant entities stirring from their slumber.

These epoch monsters and formidable beings surveyed the fading Dao Hall, recognizing the extraordinary events taking place.

In response, they released an imperial order, their decrees resounding through the immortal land.

"Find that race," their command echoed, "and exterminate them."
