nChapter 6082: I Won’t Die in Vain!

nThey had been here at least twice.

nOnce when they received their inheritance.

nOnce when a superpower from the Qishen Temple fell.

nUpon arriving at this place, everyone felt a deep sense of reverence.

nEven Jian Wushuang was the same.

nBecause behind the Qishen’s Dao Arena, there was a mountain.

nOr rather, it was a tombstone.

nOn top of it were numerous portraits.

nAmong them were familiar faces.

nThere were Wan Xing, Ji Chaoyang, and other contemporaries who inherited power. There were also those resurrected emperors.

nOne of them, Yang Sanmu, who had helped Jian Wushuang, was among the first to fall.

nThere were Qiu Huang and those fifth-tier Emperors from the original universe.

nSuch as Zhu Tian!

nThere were too many.

nEach portrait captured their moments of glory on the battlefield.

nZhen Ling brought them to this place, and many had tears in their eyes.

n“Take a look!” Zhen Ling pointed at the countless portraits, trembling as he spoke, “They did not die in vain, they did not die in vain!”

nAt that moment, Jian Wushuang understood Zhen Ling’s meaning and murmured, “They won’t.”

n“They won’t die in vain…”

nZhen Ling took a deep breath, turned to the crowd, and said, “Today, the inheritance returns. I did not want to mention war again, but seeing you all, I must say that the Qishen Temple is in grave danger. The position of the Divine Lord must be established because they are the only hope for Qishen Temple. If we fail, the first to fall will be the Divine Lord, then you, and I will take you into eternal slumber. Even if we fail, we will not let Mie Sheng step into Qishen Temple!”

n“Lord Zhen Ling, you overthink…” Wu Zuo wanted to reveal Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing’s true strength but was abruptly interrupted by Zhen Ling.

nHe turned and glared at Wu Zuo, shouting, “Shut up!”

nThis angry shout reminded Wu Zuo of those miserable years, and he didn’t dare to say more. “The position of Divine Lord, I will personally establish today. If any of you have complaints, come to me!” Zhen Ling’s words were firm.

nAt this moment, a decision needed to be made without considering too much.

nBut Jian Wushuang was not one to take advantage of such a situation.

n“Lord Zhen Ling, I cannot accept this honor without merit. I don’t need the position of Divine Lord to prove anything. Let me first defeat Mie Sheng’s Origin Source, then it will not be too late to establish it.”

n“Agreed, I share the same sentiment as Brother Wushuang!” Hu Qing’s clear gaze showed his support as he stood beside Jian Wushuang.

nWu Zuo also came to his senses and said, “I agree as well!”

nThe rest followed suit.

nThis scene earned respect from many second-generation inheritors.

nZhen Ling’s eyes glowed with excitement as he said, “You have indeed grown, but the position of Divine Lord…”

n“If Lord Zhen Ling insists, why not give it a name first and discuss the establishment later?” Jian Wushuang didn’t expect Zhen Ling to be so resolute and offered a compromise.

nAfter all, he didn’t care much for Qishen Temple’s cosmic sea. He hadn’t coveted the vast cosmic sea of Wanliu Shenmu, how could he be interested in Qishen Temple’s small cosmic sea?

nEven if he swallowed the entire cosmic sea of Qishen Temple, it wouldn’t enhance him much. Besides, if he shamelessly took it, it would be unfair to those fallen inheritors.

nThe establishment could be delayed.

nHe understood Zhen Ling’s intent-to fear their lack of effort or their retreat after seeing the power of the Temple of World Annihilation.

nThus, he wanted to bind them to Qishen Temple.

nBecause of Zhen Wuyang’s example, Zhen Ling knew the oaths of the past no longer held

nmuch weight.

nHe was worried about people not giving their best.

nIt was a painstaking effort.

nJian Wushuang saw through Zhen Ling’s helpless move and didn’t say much, only giving Zhen

nLing another promise.

nHe would fulfill what he promised.

nNow, seeing Zhen Ling, he found the other quite admirable.

nLike an old man pulling a group of children.

nNow that the children had grown up, the old man feared they would abandon him, showing all his weaknesses and making this move.

nPitiful!

nZhen Ling, with his small eyes darting around, reluctantly said, “Since you insist, let’s first establish the position of Divine Lord. Later, I will open up the Origin Source for you from the

ncosmic sea!”

n“Everything will be decided based on merit!”

n“Yes, based on merit!”

nEveryone nodded in agreement.

nWith this, even the second-generation successors had no objections. They had accumulated a large number of merit points but were hesitant to exchange them due to the limited treasures in Qishen Temple. Even for essential items, they were cautious.

nThey were all considering the well-being of Qishen Temple.

n“Then it will be decided by merit!” Zhen Ling made the final decision and continued, “But you are already the most brilliant successors of Qishen Temple. You cannot act without a proper title. The position of the Divine Lord will be temporarily held by you. If someone surpasses you in merit after eliminating Mie Sheng, don’t blame me!”

n“Haha!” Wu Zuo couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, we won’t be surpassed!”

nEveryone then relaxed.

nSimultaneously, ten vortexes appeared in the sky.

nOne by one, stone pillars emerged.

nZhen Ling pointed a finger and loudly proclaimed, “The First Divine Lord!”

nThis was the position of the First Divine Lord of Qishen Temple.

nEveryone watched closely.

nMany had already guessed who it would be.

n“Jian Wushuang!”

nHearing his name, Jian Wushuang did not hesitate. He immediately soared into the air and

nstood atop the stone pillar.

nThe position was given to him not because of his merits or combat strength, but because he nearly fulfilled his promise to bring everyone back.

nFan Tianfeng had returned and perished, but that was not discussed.

nAs for Zhen Wuyang, it could only be said that fate was unpredictable.

nThere was nothing that could be done.

nThe rest were brought back safely, and their strengths were astonishing.

nThis was considered a merit.

nIn terms of brilliance within Qishen Temple, Jian Wushuang was not the most outstanding.

nWhen he first entered Qishen Temple, Hu Qing was the most brilliant among that batch of

nInheritors.

nLater, Jian Wushuang began to shine, but Shang was still above him.

nHe was never the first.

nThis time, because he fulfilled his promise to Zhen Ling, the position of First Divine Lord was

ngiven to him.

n“The Second Divine Lord!” Zhen Ling’s gaze naturally fell on Hu Qing.

nThe position of Second Divine Lord should go to Hu Qing.

nAmong the first batch of successors of Qishen Temple, he was the most brilliant and created

nmany legends.

nWhoosh!

nHu Qing’s figure flickered, and he lightly landed on the pillar.

nThere was almost no opposition to this distribution.

nBut when it came to the Third Divine Lord, many showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

n“Wu Zuo!”

nThe sole surviving named disciple of Qishen.

nThe position was given to Wu Zuo.

nEven Wu Zuo himself was shocked.

nIf it were based on true strength, he was indeed the third.

nBut besides Jian Wushuang and a few others, no one knew his real combat power.

nYet, Zhen Ling gave the position to him.
