Ling Heavenly Venerable happened to be walking over at that moment.
Xiao Weisu hastily bowed.
"Elder Ling!
" Ling Heavenly Venerable waved her hand, and Xiao Weisu left. Ling Heavenly Venerable watched Xiao Weisu walk far away, and only then entered the hall.
"Have you and Xiao quarreled again?
" "This disciple is far too extreme! " Cloud Heavenly Venerable's head ached; he rubbed his temples. "He actually wants to wipe out every last ancient god. When have the Lord of Heaven, the Earth Mother, and the Earl of Earth ever done evil? On the contrary, they maintain the order of the heavens and all the realms. If they died, the stars would shift from their courses, the constellations would fall into chaos, wronged souls would cover the earth, ferocious ghosts would run rampant, and in all the heavens both humans and beasts would perish—that would be the true catastrophe!
" "I do not like this Xiao Weisu.
" Ling Heavenly Venerable said, "His temperament is too wild and intractable, and he gives a sense of being unreliable. " Cloud Heavenly Venerable smiled.
"But his talent is a genius that the human race has rarely produced in several hundred thousand years. After all, humans have no bloodline of gods or demons. We need strong figures among the younger generation, and Xiao Weisu is one of the very best. In the future, he will not fall short of you or me in achievement.
" Ling Heavenly Venerable thought for a moment. "You are the sovereign; let it be your consideration. I came about something else. Now that the matter of the Heavenly Emperor is settled, the Four Sovereign Emperors have left the Heavenly Court for the Four Polar Heavens. As for the other ancient gods, apart from the Lord of Heaven, the Earl of Earth, and the Earth Mother, none are worth worrying about. Our greatest enemy is no longer the ancient gods, but the demigods.
" Cloud Heavenly Venerable said, "I understand.
" Ling Heavenly Venerable said, "The demigods' strength is greater than the human race's. Even human paragons like the Nether Lord and Fire Heavenly Venerable have gone to help them. If Fire Heavenly Venerable and the Nether Lord could aid us instead, and with Nether Heavenly Venerable as well, at the very least we could stand as equals against the demigods. " Cloud Heavenly Venerable nodded. "I understand that too.
But Fire Heavenly Venerable does not.
" He sighed. "Fire Heavenly Venerable has his own ideas. In his heart, this victory was not won by our own strength, but by the strength of Hao Heavenly Venerable's line.
" The worry on his face lingered. "Fire Heavenly Venerable believes that we uprooted the Heavenly Emperor only through the power of the Empress and her sister. Add the closeness between the Empress and her sister and Hao Heavenly Venerable, the Void God King, the Earl of Earth's daughter, the Ancestral God King, the Lord of Heaven's son, and among the demigods there are also Divine Emperor Langxuan and one mighty presence after another—they surpass the human race by far. A fine bird chooses the tree where it roosts. I do not blame him for that choice. " Ling Heavenly Venerable frowned. "And the Nether Heavenly Venerable?
Can he be persuaded?
" Cloud Heavenly Venerable shook his head. "There is only one person who could persuade the Nether Heavenly Venerable, and that person is dead.
" Ling Heavenly Venerable was silent.
The only person in this world whom the Nether Heavenly Venerable admired was Yu Heavenly Venerable, and he had been dead for four hundred thousand years. "Hao Heavenly Venerable and his people have already infiltrated the Heavenly Alliance.
" Ling Heavenly Venerable said, "Even someone as insensitive to the outside world as I am can feel the undercurrents surging within the Heavenly Alliance.
When we founded the Heavenly Alliance back then, we never imagined it would be gradually eaten away by others. " "I know. " Cloud Heavenly Venerable smiled and said comfortingly, "Don't worry.
