metaverse evolution.

Twenty million saints, like a torrent, shattered the battlefield of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Both sides combined couldn't even muster one hundred thousand saints. Faced with this overwhelming force, everyone wore endearing smiles.

More than three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the Rising Dragon Fleet approached the continent of the Temple of War in a mighty procession.

The appearance of the Rising Dragon Fleet caused a sensation throughout the Temple of War, and the designated welcoming area was packed with people.

However, Shangguan Qinghong, who was representing the welcoming party, did not look too good.

A man stood next to Shangguan Qinghong, holding her hand and saying softly, "Qinghong, don't worry. You and Chu Fei didn't make any promises to each other. He's the one who betrayed you."

Shangguan Qinghong remained silent.

Indeed, after all these years, Shangguan Qinghong, unable to bear the loneliness, has lived up to Chu Fei's expectations.

In addition to representatives from various factions of the Yanhuang civilization, there was also a representative from the superego camp: the Great Dao Saint of the Xuantian Sect, Ziyun Daozun.

However, compared to the excited Yanhuang people around him, Daoist Ziyun's face was extremely ugly.

However, someone with an even uglier expression was the representative of the other camp, the supernatural camp, the Sky-Splitting God Venerable from the Celestial Race, a deity who practiced faith and cultivation. His cultivation level was almost equal to that of the Purple Cloud Dao Venerable.

At this moment, the Purple Cloud Daoist and the Sky-Splitting God looked at each other from tens of kilometers away, but neither of them said anything. However, there was a hint of mockery in their eyes.

The Rising Dragon Fleet suddenly appeared, and then Chu Fei found experts from both major factions on the battlefield and forcefully conveyed a message that he was coming to the Temple of War and that both major factions should send representatives to negotiate.

The strength of the Rising Dragon Fleet made the high-ranking officials of both factions uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to send representatives. Even the current war between the two factions has been temporarily suspended.

With twenty million experts at the saint level, that power is enough to turn even demons into adorable creatures, who might even have little red flowers stuck in their heads.

But behind Chu Fei's assertive demeanor, there was a subtle but extraordinary signal.

The simultaneous invitation of representatives from both sides suggests that the Rising Dragon Fleet might be considering defecting. Furthermore, Chu Fei's side expressed dissatisfaction with the Superego faction's hardline stance. This is the direct reason why the Sky-Splitting God Venerable revealed a mocking expression.

On the other hand, while the large number of deaths on the Yanhuang civilization's side was certainly due to the forced conscription by the supernatural faction, the direct cause of the killings was the supernatural faction. But overall, neither side was clean.

Perhaps only those from the Yanhuang civilization are cheering.

Time passed slowly, and the welcoming crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. High in the sky, enormous spaceships appeared one after another.

The first spaceships to appear were multiple flying continents with diameters exceeding 100,000 kilometers. Even when these flying continents flew past from a distance of more than 500,000 kilometers, they still appeared to be about 50 or 60 meters long from the perspective of the War God Temple continent.

Each flying continent has two sides, an upper and a lower one, and the one facing the ground now is one of them. Each side is an artificial plane, brightly lit, with the land a vibrant green and azure, like a super sapphire, slowly flying across the sky.

Behind the flying continent were millions of spaceships, most of which were super spaceships exceeding 20,000 kilometers in length. Following them were a large number of "destroyers" with a length of about 3,000 kilometers.

The massive fleet was already quite imposing, but when all the ships combined into a special formation, and the entire void was disturbed by the warships, creating ripples, the expressions of the two top experts, Rift God and Purple Cloud Daoist, changed.

Others might just be watching the spectacle, but the two powerful figures could see it clearly: it was the very trace of creation. This fleet created a point in the world, then vanished, then created again and vanished again. In this cycle of creation and destruction, ripples appeared in the void.

This method looks spectacular and beautiful, but in reality, its destructive power is extremely strong, enough to seriously injure even a saint.

As for the twenty million Saints in the Rising Dragon Fleet, if they were injured or their escape speed was even slightly reduced, the outcome would be obvious. Even if Saints are not easy to kill, what if one side has tens of millions of Saints?

Moreover, the Rising Dragon Fleet had long hinted that they possessed the means to kill saints.

Amidst endless cheers, tens of thousands of saints and experts descended from the sky, with Chu Fei leading the way.

Chu Fei immediately spotted Shangguan Qinghong and the man holding her hand.

Shangguan Qinghong stared at Chu Fei silently, looking somewhat bewildered.

Chu Fei merely glanced at Shangguan Qinghong silently, feeling nothing. It was expected. Their relationship was that of gunman and target; there had never been any promises. If anyone should apologize, it was Chu Fei first. He married Liliat first, and only then did he have an affair with Shangguan Qinghong.

Of course, more importantly, Chu Fei has now reached a level of 26.0, while Shangguan Qinghong is still at the level of 23.9999. After so many years, she still hasn't taken the final step.

From level 23.0 onwards, each level corresponds to a realm. Level 23.0 corresponds to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, level 24.0 corresponds to the Quasi-Saint, level 25.0 corresponds to the Heavenly Dao Saint, and level 26.0 corresponds to the Great Dao Saint.

In Chu Fei's eyes now, Shangguan Qinghong was no different from an ordinary mortal. The difference between the two... well, it was no longer comparable. No one would discuss how big the difference was between a human and an ant; it was simply incomparable.

However, Chu Fei's gaze swept around and finally landed on Shangguan Qinghong. His booming voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "Shangguan Qinghong, are you the representative to welcome us this time?"

"It's me." Shangguan Qinghong pursed her lips. Upon seeing Chu Fei again, Shangguan Qinghong had considered all sorts of possibilities, but she never imagined that the gap between the two of them had become so vast.

Chu Fei waved his hand, and tens of thousands of saints slowly descended behind him. The immense pressure gradually descended, and at this moment, the sky seemed to press down as a whole. However, those with lower cultivation levels did not feel much pressure, while those with higher cultivation levels felt even greater pressure.

Those who felt the effects most were especially the Sky-Splitting God Venerable, the Purple Cloud Dao Venerable, and their followers. In reality, this was Chu Fei's doing targeting both sides.

Under Chu Fei's pressure, the two Great Dao Saints actually felt as if they were about to slowly kneel down.

"Damn it!" Rift Sky God Venerable and Purple Cloud Dao Venerable roared in fury. Neither of them were stupid; they immediately understood Chu Fei's meaning and unleashed their own power to confront him.

Countless bolts of lightning flashed in the void, but the next moment all the lightning flew back and enveloped the two, the Sky-Splitting God and the Purple Cloud Daoist. The lightning struck, and the surrounding mountains and rivers turned to ashes. Only the two remained, leaving behind a lonely pillar.

Chu Fei's booming voice rang out: "Since our two representatives have arrived, I'll get straight to the point. On behalf of the Yanhuang Civilization, I announce that the entire Yanhuang Civilization will withdraw from the battle between the two factions. We will establish a third faction, a neutral faction. What do you two think?"

The God of Rending Sky and the Daoist of Purple Cloud exchanged a glance, but the God of Rending Sky had a smile in his eyes, while the Daoist of Purple Cloud had an ugly expression.

Ziyun Daozun spoke up: "Chu Fei, have you thought this through? Although your Yanhuang civilization seems to be doing well now, you probably don't know that behind our two major camps are Ziwei Saints, and more than one."

Do you know how many civilizations and powers have reached your scale in the past? You don't think you were the only special one during such a long period of time, do you?
Don't you even consider that you only came into contact with our ancestor, Tianyan Ancestor, after reaching realm 16.0? Tianyan Ancestor gave you some big data cultivation information back then. Where do you think this information came from?

The secrets of this world are beyond your imagination!

Now, let's put those words aside and come with me to the 'Tai Xu Palace' to meet our ancestors. The fate of your Yanhuang civilization still needs to be decided by our ancestors."

Chu Fei chuckled, "Alright then, in that case, I declare that the Yanhuang Civilization is now part of the Supernatural Faction. I wonder if the Supernatural Faction welcomes us?"

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!" The God of Rending Sky was overjoyed. Even if what Chu Fei said now was false, as long as the Yanhuang civilization broke with this superego faction, it would be a victory.

Daoist Ziyun's eyes widened instantly, but he quickly realized that his past domineering temper had surfaced. Seeing this, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Chu Fei, there is still some friendship between us. On the contrary, the supernatural faction has killed countless people of the Yanhuang Civilization. If you just surrender to them like this, what will your subordinates think?"

Chu Fei laughed wildly, "It's not that your superego faction forcibly conscripted us, why would the supernatural faction kill our people! The root cause is you."

Our Yanhuang civilization saved your Tianyan Ancestor, and then the entire Yanhuang civilization suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, almost being wiped out. It was you who repaid kindness with enmity first.

Previously, we had no choice, and while you professed gratitude, you allowed the curse to ravage the entire Yanhuang Federation. After arriving in the Inner World, you claimed to take care of us, yet you continued to forcibly conscript our people.

Over the years, the number of people forcibly confiscated from the Yanhuang civilization is countless, and countless parents have cried themselves blind.

If we're really talking about hatred, we should apologize to the supernatural factions, because we were the ones attacking them.

The God of Rending Sky's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth curled up, which he couldn't suppress.

But Daoist Ziyun's expression grew even more unpleasant. So, in the eyes of the Yanhuang civilization, their actions were seen as repaying kindness with enmity?
However, Daoist Ziyun thought, "I am a supreme saint. You should be grateful if I let you be my dog. Haven't you seen how many civilizations don't even have the chance to be dogs?"

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Daoist Ziyun sneered, "Chu Fei, do you think that once you're in the supernatural camp, they won't forcibly conscript you? You can't possibly not even think of that!"

Chu Fei laughed, a chilling laugh. "No need for forced conscription. We will provide our fighting force voluntarily because we want revenge! We want to kill that ungrateful old bastard, Tianyan!"

Revenge? That old bastard Tianyan?
Master Ziyun was stunned. "Are you really that stupid? You're saying this so openly?"
The Sky-Splitting God smiled brightly. Since Chu Fei had said so, there was absolutely no room for compromise between the Yanhuang Civilization and the Superego faction. Now, it was time for them to show their strength.

"Ahem!" The God of Rift spoke up, "Chu Fei, and all the people of the Yanhuang Civilization, greetings. I am the God of Rift, representing the supernatural faction. I can vouch for what Chu Fei just said."

If the Yanhuang civilization joins the supernatural camp, I can promise that, with its current strength, it can at least become a secondary core power, second only to the power with a Ziwei Sage. We have three Ziwei Sages, which means the Yanhuang civilization will be in fourth place.

Of course, to truly secure the fourth seat, one must demonstrate their abilities, requiring not only combat prowess but also substantial military achievements.

But I assure you, we will not forcibly conscript.

Regardless of whether the conditions are reasonable or not, the most important thing right now is to bring the Yanhuang civilization over.

Even before the Rising Dragon Fleet appeared, the Yanhuang civilization was a major headache for everyone. Their spaceships, vacuum energy bombs, various bizarre war machines, and advanced communication equipment were enough to give even sages a massive headache.

Now that they have the Rising Dragon Fleet, it's even less of a question. They absolutely must win them over!
Even if the Yanhuang civilization came and did nothing, they couldn't stay in the superego camp any longer. One faction has twenty million saints! Holy crap, that was unthinkable in the past.

Currently, the number of saints in the entire supernatural faction is definitely in the hundreds of millions. But the Yanhuang civilization has only existed for a few years, yet it already has so many saints. This method must be learned.

The God of Rending the Void had already figured it out: as long as he could bring the Yanhuang civilization to his side, no matter what conditions he promised, it would be a great achievement.

As for the Yanhuang civilization's allegiance, well, we have plenty of ways to manipulate them. As long as the Yanhuang civilization doesn't have a Ziwei Sage, we can mold them however we want. Our immediate priority is to win them over!

Daoist Ziyun opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. At this moment, he could clearly feel the anger of the entire Yanhuang civilization, the anger of hundreds of millions of people. That anger surged towards him like a tide.

Amidst this overwhelming rage, Daoist Ziyun discovered that what Chu Fei said was actually true; the entire Yanhuang civilization truly harbored hatred towards the super-self camp!
Chu Fei spoke up, "Ziyun Daozun, get lost. You were invited by me, so you're considered envoys. I won't kill you today. But from this day forward, the Yanhuang Civilization and the Superego faction will be locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

"Sigh, I was originally planning to withdraw from the Superego camp today and maintain neutrality for the Yanhuang civilization. But since you've put it that way, I have no choice. I didn't want to do this; you forced me to!"

Master Ziyun: ...

The Sky-Splitting God laughed loudly, "Chu Fei, you won't kill this bastard, but I can!"

Daoist Ziyun was furious, then terrified, and quickly fled. Daoist Liekong feigned an attack but didn't actually kill him. This was partly because saints are difficult to kill, let alone a Great Dao Saint; and partly because letting this guy leave would leave the Yanhuang civilization with no way out.

Chu Fei, of course, knew what the Sky-Splitting God was thinking. However, the current Yanhuang civilization was truly unafraid of such things.

You might not know this, but our Yanhuang civilization actually had a Ziwei Sage. The Heavenly Sin True Ruler could be considered half a sage. Furthermore, the technology mastered by the Yanhuang civilization could also be considered half a sage.

Is the Purple Star Sage really that powerful? Sorry, but after coming into contact with the Heavenly Sin True Ruler, Chu Fei and the entire Yanhuang civilization have lost their mystique towards the Purple Star Sage. If tens of millions of sages were to surround and kill him, the Purple Star Sage would have to kneel down and sing "Conquer!"
The Purple Star Sage is very powerful, but as the saying goes, extremes meet. From the perspective of big data technology, the existence of the Purple Star Sage actually exposes its weaknesses.

However, the Yanhuang civilization still needs time to develop, and development has no limits; the more complete it is, the better. Therefore, for now, we should join the supernatural camp and launch a counterattack against the superego camp. There's no rush to fight alone; we should try to survive as long as possible.

Moreover, what Chu Fei said is true. The Yanhuang civilization does not feel that it has any enmity with the supernatural camp. If it weren't for the supernatural camp forcibly conscripting them, we would be crazy to fight with the supernatural camp.

Some might say that the supernatural forces cast a curse, causing strange beasts and ghosts to descend, leading to the collapse of the entire Yanhuang Federation and resulting in countless deaths.

But Chu Fei insisted that the events of that year had many hidden details and needed to be thoroughly investigated. In any case, it was confirmed that the Heavenly Evolution Ancestor was an ingrate! They'd deal with that confirmed old bastard first!
I've heard that the Celestial Ancestor is said to be able to predict the future; I wonder if he could have foreseen this long! (End of Chapter)
