Even other Imperial Clans and Immortal Clans had appeared, participating in the matter.
Many lofty, reclusive Ancient Monarchs had intervened, blocking the outbreak of war.
Although the chaotic great war had not truly erupted, the situation between the human race and the alien race remained extremely tense, both sides on a hair-trigger, ready to explode at any moment.
At this moment, the world finally saw the forceful stance of the human race. Even if they were not as strong as the alien race, they displayed an extremely domineering attitude, willing to fight without fear of anything.
That night, Sovereign Hua Xu brought out the Monarch Divine Hall, inviting all the Sovereigns of the heavens to enter and discuss a resolution to the major event.
With the intervention of so many Ancient Monarchs, neither the human race nor the several Ancient Monarchs of the alien race could refuse the invitation. They entered this most magnificent divine hall.
Outside the Monarch Divine Hall, numerous Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and the strongest young supremes from both sides waited.
Naturally, Divine Kings were also present, confronting the many Divine Kings, Emperor Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants of the alien race.
The human side was very tense; the slightest misstep could truly trigger the strongest battle at the Sovereign level.
In the sky, Yu Qing had long since descended, like an immortal banished from the Ninth Heaven. Dressed in a green gown and lotus skirt, her beauty was unparalleled in the mortal world. She stood gracefully like jade, shrouded in immortal mist, breathtakingly beautiful as she landed beside Ye Chen.
Even though the situation between the two races was extremely tense, with a racial war on the verge of breaking out, Yu Qing's appearance still attracted many gazes, difficult to look away from.
For she was a peerless, celestial maiden, a Strongest Young Supreme, and also a Divine King, matchless in her splendor. It was precisely her appearance that had successfully restrained the alien side's supreme Divine King, Di Wentian.
Otherwise, if Di Wentian had taken action, the human side would likely have faced unimaginable, immense pressure.
"Yue!"
Yu Qing smiled at Ye Chen, a smile that could topple kingdoms and cities, capable of throwing the mortal world into chaos.
Such a smile seemed to steal all the brilliance of heaven and earth, making everything else pale in comparison.
"Qingqing." Ye Chen was very happy, smiling broadly without any pretense. He even rushed forward, tightly embracing the celestial maiden in his arms, as if wanting to meld her entire being into his very bones, never to be separated.
In their past life, Yu Qing had died for him. Now, after years of separation, she had finally been resurrected and returned to his side, filling him with excitement and joy.
Yet, despite the myriad words rising in his throat, not a single one was spoken. There was only the tight embrace, unwilling to be separated again in this life, this lifetime.
This embrace felt like eternity.
After a long while, Ye Chen finally let go. He saw that Yu Qing, a Divine King of her generation, wore a shy expression on her face, a beauty so rare in the world that it made his heart flutter and intoxicated him.
However, having experienced so much, Yu Qing faced it with grace and composure, pulling him back.
"Yue, you will be fine."
Yu Qing stood beside Ye Chen, her jade-like hand tightly gripping his palm, their fingers interlocked.
Undoubtedly, Yu Qing was a peerless, stunning Fairy, and as a Divine King, she possessed an inviolable, noble aura, like the most exalted woman who required others' reverence and worship, how could she be violated?
On the other side, Abenue was also there, similarly holding Ye Chen's other hand. Naturally, she also recognized Yu Qing. Usually noble and aloof, she actually felt somewhat shy facing Yu Qing at this moment. Two blushes appeared on her exquisite, beautiful face as she said shyly, "Sister, I am Abenue."
Yu Qing gave Ye Chen an amused glance, as if saying he had taken in another stunning beauty while she and the other goddesses were not around.
Ye Chen looked at his nose, his nose at his heart, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
Yu Qing gently shook her head, then looked at Abenue with a graceful, gentle smile: "Sister, there's no need to be shy. Since you have become this bad man's wife, we are sisters from now on. This bad man's fortune is truly good. Sister, you are so stunningly beautiful, a pure-blooded True Dragon, and a Strongest Young Supreme, yet you were willing to marry him. It is also this bad man's immense fortune."
Hearing this, Abenue seemed to relax. Although she was confident she was not inferior to any woman in the world, the Yu Qing before her was, after all, also Ye Chen's wife, who had known him longer. Moreover, when they were both Strongest Young Supremes, she was also a Divine King, surpassing her.
And meeting for the first time, there was always a sense of shyness, like the ugly bride finally meeting the in-laws. Receiving Yu Qing's approval made her unable to help but smile brightly, a hundred charms instantly blooming!
Inside the Monarch Divine Hall, there were many Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes. They all looked at the Battle Saint King, who had almost triggered a Sovereign-level world-destroying war. Not only had he suppressed two Imperial Sons and slain the Dark Heaven Imperial Son, but now he was also being intimate with two peerless Fairies not inferior to Imperial Maidens. Their hearts were filled with jealousy and complex emotions.
This Battle Saint King was truly heaven-defying in every aspect.
"Yu Qing."
Beside them, Will and Zhao Chen greeted her in turn, as Yu Qing came from the Heavenly Gate, so they naturally knew her.
Divine King Yuan Yao also nodded slightly. The Human Sovereign's Son, however, looked at Yu Qing with some complexity.
Back then, Yu Qing's fall was precisely because of him, involving the inheritance of his father, the Human Sovereign. It was a long story.
However, Yu Qing obviously did not blame him. Being able to see a group of old friends in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain clearly made her very happy. Moreover, those were all matters of the past; who was right or wrong back then was not worth mentioning again. Now, they all stood on the same front.
Ye Chen had many questions he wanted to ask Divine King Yuan Yao, Zhao Chen, and the Human Sovereign's Son, but in the end, he did not speak. Everything would have to wait until the matter was resolved before they could talk over wine.
At the same time, inside the Monarch Divine Hall, there were more than twenty Ancient Monarchs present: four from the human race, five from the alien race, and thirteen from other Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and reclusive Ancient Monarchs. They all sat upon supreme divine thrones. Even though they had restrained their Sovereign auras, they were still extremely intimidating, making one feel the need to worship them.
The Dark Sun Sovereign spoke bluntly, his eyes blood-red, filled with hatred: "Now that my clan's Imperial Son has died, this Sovereign is ashamed before my clan's Great Emperor. We cannot let the human race off; they must pay the price."
The fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son was the origin of everything.
However, even the other Ancient Monarchs who had come did not expect that an Imperial Son would fall.
Sovereign Sword Heaven, however, sneered coldly: "The great era is for supremacy, competing for the 'Supreme' immortal fate. Moreover, it was a fair battle. It's just that your clan's Imperial Son was less skilled. If he died, he died. Yet you still want my human race to pay the price? Truly wishful thinking."
The other Ancient Monarchs who had come to mediate secretly nodded. Because casualties among the younger generation were inevitable, even for those as noble as Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants.
However, the Dark Sun Sovereign disregarded all these rules of competition among the younger generation, clearly intending to make the human race pay the corresponding price at all costs.
If it were other members of an Imperial Clan, it might be different. Even if a Divine King fell, it might not cause an Imperial Clan to act like this. But an Imperial Son was a figure second only to the Great Emperor in an Imperial Clan, even slightly surpassing Ancient Monarchs in status.
This was what made the matter most troublesome.
