nChapter 6081: Shang and Luo

nAbove, on the two main seats, sat Shang and Luo.

nThis surprised Jian Wushuang.

nJudging by the setup, Shang and Luo had completely sidelined Zhen Ling, who didn’t even have a seat.

nShang, as the successor and heir of Qishen Temple, naturally had no objections to sitting in the main seat.

nBut it was unexpected that Luo also held such significant power.

n“Everyone, take your seats!” Upon reaching the main hall, Shang demonstrated his status by immediately gesturing for everyone to be seated.

nZhen Ling, however, stood at the top of the hall, not taking a seat, but simply smiling and watching everyone.

nWith just a glance, Jian Wushuang understood the current structure of Qishen Temple.

nThe inheritors had reorganized and formed new factions.

nThe four great halls remained as before, but were now controlled by the Inheritors.

nThen there was Yuanyang Palace, which, following Zhen Ling’s plan, had been developed into a power that not only wasn’t weaker but even surpassed the four halls.

nLastly, there was the Grave God Mountain.

nLed personally by Shang, Tomb God Mountain also had several super-strong figures, making it Shang’s personal faction.

nThey stood behind Shang, seven Universe Masters, each at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm.

nNot weaker than those hall masters and sect leaders.

nJian Wushuang scanned around, nodding slightly to acknowledge some familiar faces. “Brother Wushuang, has Zhen Ling really been sidelined? How come he doesn’t even have a place at the table?” Wu Zuo quietly transmitted his thoughts.

nIt was anticipated that Zhen Ling would hand Qishen Temple over to Shang.

nFor years, Shang had been at the forefront, so no one had any objections.

nMoreover, after experiencing the outside world, they held only gratitude towards Qishen Temple, without the previous competitive stance.

n“You’re underestimating Zhen Ling too much!” Jian Wushuang sighed, shaking his head.

nAt first, he also noticed some peculiarities, but now he understood.

nZhen Ling’s emotions were written all over his face.

nSeeing his current leisurely demeanor, it was clear that while Shang appeared to be leading Qishen Temple, Zhen Ling was still pulling the strings behind the scenes.

nDespite losing those puppets, Shang’s will was more obedient than those puppets ever were.

nIt’s a matter of character, hard to change.

nMoreover, Zhen Ling was still Shang’s mentor. How could he be sidelined? Especially now, with Qishen Temple facing external threats, there was no room for internal strife.

nJust as Jian Wushuang thought.

nAfter Shang sat down, he briefly introduced Jian Wushuang and others, then actively introduced some current strong figures of Qishen Temple to them.

nAfter a brief introduction, he finally looked at Zhen Ling, clearly waiting for him to speak.

n“Ahem!” Zhen Ling knew it was his turn to speak. With many thoughts in mind, he chose to go last. After Jian Wushuang and others became acquainted with the strong figures of Qishen Temple, he began his performance.

nHe had waited countless years for this day.

nBut he also had concerns.

nHe feared Jian Wushuang and the others had changed their minds.

n“Everyone, taking this opportunity, I have an important announcement regarding the inheritance of Qishen Temple!”

nAt these words, everyone looked towards Zhen Ling.

nJian Wushuang also put down his wine cup, looking at Zhen Ling, curious to see what tricks the old man had up his sleeve.

nJian Wushuang knew of Zhen Ling’s suspicious nature.

nOnce, because of a single word from Teacher Xuan Yi, Zhen Ling nearly played him to death.

nHe was always suspicious of who would destroy this long river of spacetime.

nIn the end, he found out it was himself!

nAfterwards, he was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

nNow, pulling such a stunt, he probably feared they wouldn’t give their best effort.

nPerspective!

nIt could be said Zhen Ling’s perspective was small, or Jian Wushuang and the others’ perspective was big.

nThey had traveled so far without any thought of evading anything.

nEven when Zhen Wuyang chose to stay in the Wanliu Divine Tree, it wasn’t out of fear!

nInstead, he had his own circle and could not jump out of it.

nNo one knew what Zhen Wuyang had gone through at that time.

nIn a strange world, he couldn’t find a sense of belonging, and his Dao heart wavered.

nHe treated the past as a dream!

nSo he did not make things difficult for Zhen Wuyang; he just advised him a few times.

nEventually, he gave up.

nRespecting others’ choices.

nHowever, the people who chose to come back were not afraid of danger.

nAt least, the threats mentioned by Zhen Ling were not worth fearing.

n“Lord Zhen Ling, whatever you want to say, just say it. We are all Inheritors of Qishen Temple!” Seeing Zhen Ling looking at him, Jian Wushuang was the first to speak.

nHis resolve had always been firm.

nWu Zuo and the others also nodded, looking at Zhen Ling.

nSeeing that no one had any objections, he completely ignored the strange looks from the second-generation inheritors and, after pausing for a moment, said, “I have decided to establish the position of the Divine Lord today!”

nDivine Lord!

nThe system originally established by Qishen.

nAlthough Qishen Temple had cultivated strong individuals comparable to those from the Moro Spacetime over the years, they had not established a new Divine Lord position.

nNow, they suddenly wanted to establish the position of Divine Lord.

nThis aroused the curiosity of many strong individuals in the temple.

nJian Wushuang and the others did not know the reason behind it; they were just curious and did not feel anything was wrong. Moreover, they did not crave the position of Divine Lord.

nBut others thought differently.

nBecause the Origin Source Sea of Qishen Temple always reserved the position of Divine Lord, once someone became the Divine Lord, they could place their Origin Source Universe into the

nOrigin Source Sea of Qishen Temple.

nThis was what they aimed to obtain.

nWith the nurturing of the Universe Sea, the Origin Source would continually improve, making

nit a perfect auxiliary treasure.

nBut this position was limited!

nIn the past, it was not proposed because once Mie Sheng attacked, Qishen Temple could escape with the Origin Source Sea.

nBut with Jian Wushuang and the others returning, they had the confidence for a final battle and did not need to escape, so they decided to establish the position of Divine Lord.

n“Divine Lord!”

nJian Wushuang did not know, but Wu Zuo did!

nEven in the upper spacetime, where he had seen so much, he was tempted by the position of

nDivine Lord.

nLuo, sitting next to Shang, was also extremely shocked upon hearing this. She was already the

nco-lord of Yuanyang Palace, and her Origin Source resided in the Origin Source Sea. She had not considered the position of Divine Lord much, but now that Zhen Ling announced this, it was clearly due to the return of Jian Wushuang and the others.

nAs a second-generation inheritor, she actually only had awe for Jian Wushuang and the others, not respect.

nBecause all these years, it was they who had been guarding Qishen Temple.

nWhy should the position of Divine Lord be given to Jian Wushuang and the others?

nThis was also very normal.

nNo one would be so selfless.

nHow many people had died over these years…

nOnly they knew.

nNow, who should be given the position of Divine Lord?

nZhen Ling, thinking from the overall perspective, was not wrong.

nHe just wanted to protect Qishen Temple.

nHe remembered those who had fallen!

n“Establishing the Divine Lord will witness the return of Qishen Temple’s greatness and glory.

nThis is the rule set back then, and today it shall begin!” As Zhen Ling spoke, he pointed his

nfinger, and the great hall instantly transformed.

nEveryone in the hall was transported to the God’s Tomb.

nQishen’s Dao Arena.

nEveryone was familiar with this place.

nBecause those qualified to enter the great hall were either Universe Masters or extremely

npowerful emperors, they had all been here before.
