At this point, there are only two saints left, and there are still two people who have not tried to take a seat, Ling Huang and Wan Minsheng.
The opportunity is in front of you. Even if you know the hope is slim, you should still try. Just in case!
The Spirit Emperor took a deep breath, walked over, sat down, golden light grew, and then... he couldn't sit down anymore.
The Spiritual Emperor had already anticipated this result, so he was not disappointed. He just smiled bitterly, stood up and sat among those who did not have cushions.
Wan Minsheng also wanted to follow him. So many masters in front of him had died. Old Wan felt that he was just a young man, so he didn't want to lose this person.
Yuanshi had been closing his eyes, but now he opened them and said, "Now..."
Zuo Xiaoduo interjected in surprise: "Everyone present has tried it. Since you are here, why don't you sit down and try it?"
Wan Minsheng's face froze for a moment.
He was brought here by the Spirit Emperor more to support the occasion. The spirit race was not good at fighting, and there have been few outstanding strong people since ancient times. Wan Minsheng was able to be promoted to a semi-saint, which made him an outstanding and rare figure among the spirit race in the past millions of years.
The Spirit Emperor forced him to come here just to show his claws to other races. Don't think that we, the Spirit Race, are easy to bully. You see, some of our Spirit Race's descendants have been promoted to Semi-Saints. If you want to touch our Spirit Race, think twice.
It would be best if it could make other races feel fearful. In this era of great contention, if the elves do not have sufficient strength, how can they not become the target of public criticism? Showing off their muscles is necessary.
But whether it was the Spiritual Emperor or Elder Wan, they really had no idea about the Sainthood. Even the Spiritual Emperor's attempt was behind everyone else's, and it was just the last lucky attempt.
Now that even the Spiritual Emperor cannot sit on it, Old Wan naturally plans to sit next to the Spiritual Emperor. How can he have a share in the holy throne cushion? It’s better not to daydream about it.
But at this moment, Zuo Xiaoduo's shout was extremely embarrassing.
"How can I, this..."
Wan Minsheng's face was full of embarrassment, but Zuo Xiaoduo's words were well-intentioned and even kind, pushing the opportunity to him.
Tongtian's face flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, it must be fate. Why not give it a try?"
After hearing what Tongtian said, Wan Minsheng said respectfully, "That's it. I will... take the risk."
After saying that, he quietly came to the eighth cushion and sat down with extreme caution.
There was a flash of golden light, and the reaction was exactly the same as before.
Just when everyone thought that Wan Minsheng would return empty-handed, they saw a dark yellow light surging from Wan Minsheng's body, competing with the golden light. The confrontation lasted only three seconds, and the golden light became dim and merged into Wan Minsheng's body.
Then, Wan Minsheng sat down calmly and sat on the eighth holy seat.
Yuanshi raised his eyes and took a look, then said softly: "The first sunflower between heaven and earth, its origin is not bad, and it has infinite merits and virtues. It is natural that its virtue matches its position."
Tongtian and others who had already sat down did not show any special reaction, but those who could not sit on the other side had their eyes wide open!
Especially the Spirit Emperor, his eyes bulged out of their sockets and almost flew out!
At this moment, the Spiritual Emperor's mood was beyond description.
There is even a sense of loss, as if in a dream.
Who am I and where am I
How could this happen
I didn't sit on it myself, but the younger generations from my clan that I brought with me did!
Even though Wan Minsheng was a rising star of the clan, a rare talent, and had already reached the level of a semi-saint... but that was a saint!
How did it fall on him
Who do you think I can go to for justice
Wan Minsheng sat upright on the cushion, but he felt uncomfortable all over his body.
But then his mind was completely occupied by the Tao rhyme and insights that continuously flowed into his body.
"Today, everyone has gathered here because of the connection between heaven and man. I believe you all understand the reason."
Yuanshi said calmly: "This is the infinite calamity, and it is also the Qingtian calamity. Everyone, all races are in the calamity."
"After Zhunti of the Western School reopened the world, he went against the calamity, and the destiny of the heavens began to go insane..."
"Now the calamity has become inevitable, which means... we must go through it. All the living beings of all races are in it. No one can avoid it, and no one can escape it."
Yuanshi's tone was calm, but everyone present could hear the complaint in it.
As saints, we should be fine.
But you, Zhunti, re-created the heaven and earth in the catastrophe and went against the will of Heaven, causing the destiny of Heaven to go upside down and dragging us in as well.
Are you so idle that you feel bored
When everyone heard this, they all felt dissatisfied.
Although you, Zhunti, have lost your saintly position, your action of initiating the catastrophe has brought immeasurable merits to the Western religion. This is definitely a good deal, but what should we do
Why should we be dragged into the catastrophe by you
Originally, even if it was a calamity of magnitude, it was still just the creatures of various races, and the disciples under the sect participated in the calamity, but in the end, there was an extra layer of heavenly destiny, which often involved the birth and death of various races...
This is simply an extremely unethical thing to do.
"After the catastrophe, all races will be united." Yuanshi said calmly: "Since this matter involves the life and death of the race, it is inevitable that it will end up like a saint."
"But if it really comes to that, I'm afraid..."
Yuanshi really felt tired: "It is precisely because of this that the catastrophe sent a signal and asked us to come here for a while. It can be regarded as... a privilege for the strong, and it can be regarded as a leniency."
"But this time, it's the only chance."
Before, Daozu was in charge of the overall situation. There were already certain rules and a pattern to follow. This time, the catastrophe started again. I had thought that even if Daozu was not there to support me, there would always be the eldest brother to take charge. Now it seems... it is my turn to take charge.
I have no experience...
And the catastrophe we encountered this time was more severe than the previous ones... Such a big thing...
Even if they had attacked and fought each other before, they had always taken into account the friendship between them, leaving some room and maintaining a glimmer of hope!
But now... it can be born and destroyed at any time!
But who can be willing to see their family group destroyed
"Zhunti, you have done a good thing!" Tongtian was very furious.
"Brother, please don't be upset. Since the establishment of the Western Church, this is the only thing that has brought us some benefits."
Zhunti was even more handsome and graceful, with an outstanding demeanor. He smiled warmly and said, "I paid the price of a saintly position. Isn't that enough?"
"fart!"
Tongtian was furious: "How dare you say that you have never prioritized the consideration of gains and losses from the past to now?"
"No!"
Zhunti said it with absolute certainty.
Tong Tian was so angry that his sword energy was overflowing, and he was about to explode: "The Conferred God Calamity was a dispute between the three religions in the East. What does it have to do with you? How did it become the prosperity of your Western religion after all the entanglement? You are stirring up trouble everywhere, fanning the flames, and wantonly reaping the benefits.
"At first, you seek benefits and avoid harm, and you are always successful. Could it be that you are wronged by giving priority to gains and losses?"
There was a bitter look on Zhunti's face.
"Brother, how long are you going to keep this secret?"
Zhunti looked at Yuanshi helplessly.
Yuanshi snorted, with a stern face, as if nothing had happened, without saying a word, and was extremely calm.
Jie Yin sighed and said, "Today, Senior Brother Shangqing mentioned the past events with great conviction. However, the truth cannot be explained in one word. I might as well take advantage of today to make it clear so that the powerful people present can make a judgment. Is it my Western Religion that has taken advantage of me, or has it been blamed for many years?"
Tongtian sneered: "Oh? I have always known that the Western Sect's eloquence is as eloquent as a lotus flower, and the ground is full of golden lotus. I want to hear how you, the leader of the Western Sect, can reverse the past with just a few words."
"During the Conferred God Tribulation, it seemed that the Western Religion had gained an advantage and gained manpower, which laid the groundwork for the future spread of scriptures to the East and the prosperity of the West. The prestige of the Western Religion also grew due to this. However, there were too many calculations involved."
“Too many to count.”
Jie Yin sighed softly: "If not, why would my junior brother make such a sacrifice today?"
Tong Tian Sect Master was furious and said, "After all this talk, it's still nothing but excuses. You brothers can cover up everything by saying a few words of sacrifice. Is this what you call taking the blame? Who are you trying to fool? Why don't I believe it? Could it be that you, the Western Sect, have been wronged?"
Jie Yin's expression did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, you are right. We are indeed wronged."
“Hehehe…”
Tong Tianqi laughed back: "Then tell me about your grievances and where they are. You may as well tell me in more detail!"
"When the Calamity began, my sect was just established. We had no one, no power, and no reputation. Although we knew that the Calamity was not caused by our sect, and the three religions signed the List of Gods, and that everything had nothing to do with us, for the future of the Western Sect, we had no choice but to put aside our pride and participate, seek opportunities, and strengthen our sect."
"Everyone present here is a discerning person, and you all know the reasons. Apart from those times of chaos and war, when the three religions coexist, we in the West have no chance at all. When the three religions have finished conferring gods and the situation is set, there will be even less chance for us in the West to preach in the East."
"It is true that we had nothing to do with the Conferred Gods of the Three Religions, but it is not true that we participated only to stir up trouble. You, Tongtian, were unaware of the situation at that time, but don't your two brothers know about it either?"
Jie Yin looked helpless: "At that time, if we say that we participated in it on our own, it would be better to say that we were dragged in and had no choice but to fall into the calamity."
"If it weren't for the fact that Senior Brother Jieyin and I were saints, we might not have perished in the Conferred God Tribulation that day!"
"If we don't come in, there will never be a chance for revival. But if we come in, we will bear the consequences for you."
"But I was in the middle of the situation at the time, and I was just blinded by one thing."
"Our original intention was to take advantage of the fact that Jiejiao was weak, its luck was declining, and its life and death were at stake. We would have been satisfied if we had recruited some disciples. Although this was suspected of taking advantage of the situation, at that time, it might have saved the lives of those Jiejiao disciples from another level..."
After hearing what Jie Yin said, Tong Tian Jiaozhu stood up suddenly and said, "The Jie Sect is weak? Its luck has fallen sharply? Brother Jie Yin, what you said, haha..."
Jie Yin smiled bitterly: "Brother, have you been living in resentment all these years? Have you ever looked back and thought carefully, why did you sign the Conferred God List when there was no trouble in the world? Was it just to help the Heavenly Court? Was it just to gather the people on the Conferred God List?"
"What do you mean by the twelve golden immortals not breaking through the Great Luo for thousands of years causing the quantitative calamity? What a ridiculous reason is this? How can a golden immortal cause a quantitative calamity? Brother Yuanshi, do you really want me to sort out the grievances between the three of you brothers?"
Yuanshi closed his eyes and said, "You continue talking."
