Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Alliance leader, the demon tribe is too powerful and we can't stop them!" As soon as Chen Gong returned to the Qianshan Islands, he received information from various spies.

"Hmm." Chen Gong took the information about the latest war situation, glanced at it briefly, and threw it aside.

"Pass on my orders. Immediately spread the news that Wei Wei, leader of the Demonic Path, and Tyrannosaurus King, the tenth-level demon king, have perished together. Make sure that all of the righteous and demonic factions, as well as the independent cultivators, know of this. At the same time, issue a war manifesto in my name, calling on all of humanity to unite and fight the demons together!"

As the news spread, it caused great shock among all the cultivators in the Chaos Sea. Several Nascent Soul elders of the Demonic Path returned to the island, the former headquarters of the Demonic Path Alliance. Seeing the devastated battlefield, they were stunned. They were certain that the destructive force could only be caused by a battle at the late Nascent Soul stage, and they believed Chen Gong's statement.

To cooperate with Chen Gong and put pressure on the demonic cultivators, King Kong revealed his true form and appeared on a demonic island, slaughtering the island's demonic defenders, including a Nascent Soul Elder. News of the Level 10 giant demon's island slaughter and the resulting footage spread back to the human islands, causing widespread panic. Without a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to counter it, the human cultivators were destined for slaughter.

"Order the outer islands to be abandoned, troops to be withdrawn, and a shift to strategic defense! Call upon all Nascent Soul Elders to gather in the Thousand Mountain Islands in a month to convene an alliance meeting to defend humanity!"

Chen Gong seized the opportunity to issue a call to all of humanity. Now, he was the only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Chaos Sea, and he was the backbone of humanity! Under pressure from the covetous demons, the various lords chose to rally around him, offering treasures and seeking self-protection.

Seeing the human forces shrink to a few large islands, the Skeleton Army advanced to confront them while sweeping the surrounding seas, driving out scattered cultivators and those who had hoped to escape, forcing them to surrender to Chen Gong. At the same time, they plundered the wealth of the captured islands, and those captured alive were labeled and exiled to the mining industry.

A month later, around thirty Nascent Soul Elders gathered at the Qianshan Islands in the original Righteous Path Alliance's meeting hall, sitting in two rows on either side. Everyone had a solemn expression, as if they were weighed down by something.

"Welcome everyone to our Righteous Alliance. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality!" A voice suddenly sounded, waking everyone up.

Everyone looked up and saw someone sitting on the main seat. Their spiritual senses were all repelled, unable to discern the occupant's magical power. Some uninformed cultivators tried to probe further, but were injured by Chen Gonglue's tactics and suffered a loss.

Chen Gong took the opportunity to slowly release his aura. The pressure from the great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage made everyone present look pale. They realized the gap between them and the opponent and no longer dared to test him easily.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Chen!" The elders of the former Righteous Alliance stood up and took the lead in saluting.

"Greetings, leader!" The other Yuanyings stood up and echoed.

"Please take a seat, no need to be so polite!" Chen Gong said calmly.

Chen Gong appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was inexplicably excited. To have all the human Nascent Souls in the Chaos Sea embrace him was his dream for centuries, and now, thanks to the Marshal, it was finally coming true. How could he not be thrilled?

"Now that thousands of monsters are approaching, and a level ten giant monster is wreaking havoc, humanity is on the verge of destruction. Do you have any good plans?" Chen Gong asked in a serious tone.

"It's all up to Alliance Leader Chen. We are all willing to obey his orders and fight the monster together!" No one had any good ideas. At this time, Chen Gong was their backbone, and they could only rely on Chen Gong to survive.

"I am in my prime years and have extraordinary talent. I could have stayed out of this mess, left the battlefield, and pursued my supreme path. Wouldn't that be great!" Chen Gong said hypocritically.

"Absolutely not!" Everyone on the scene was horrified and hurried to dissuade them. Chen Gong's magical power was so great that he could escape far away to protect his family and friends, but they couldn't. If they fled in all directions, they would surely be defeated and wiped out by the demon tribe.

"Alliance leader, the overall strength of human cultivators is now comparable to that of the demon race. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to repel the skeleton army!"

"Yes, since the leader has issued a call for action, it shows that he has compassion. Please save our human race from this dire situation!"

"That level ten ape demon can only be fought by the leader of the alliance. You can't just stand by and watch it die!"

"Alliance leader, you can't abandon us!"

Seeing that Chen Gong was about to leave alone, everyone panicked and cried and begged.

"Great!" Chen Gong laughed heartily. The feeling of being begged by others was truly wonderful. Some of the cultivators present had previously been unwilling to accept his recruitment, but now they could only humbly beg him. That was truly a wonderful feeling!

"Fighting a level ten monster is extremely risky. Monsters are all crazy. Alliance Leader Wei is a lesson for me! Why would I stay and take the risk, delaying my cultivation?" Chen Gong continued.

"Alliance Leader Chen, we are willing to donate all the savings of the Demonic Alliance to support the human army!"

"I am also willing to give away all my property!"

"We are willing to nominate you as the leader of all mankind, and we will obey your orders from now on!"

Seeing that Chen Gong was still unwilling to come out to take charge of the situation, everyone panicked and began to throw out their own chips. When someone took the lead, everyone followed suit, fearing that Chen Gong would really run away and abandon them.

"Great!" Chen Gong's inner vanity was greatly satisfied. These stingy people, who usually wouldn't spend money unless they saw a rabbit, and wouldn't get up early unless there was profit, now had to spend money to avoid disaster when their lives were at stake.

"Alas, I am just too soft-hearted! Are you really willing to offer your treasures, give up your grudges, and obey unified orders?" Chen Gong seemed to be moved by everyone's sincerity and seemed to be tempted to stay.

"Absolutely!" A straightforward person seized the opportunity and immediately agreed.

"We are willing!" Some thoughtful people felt a pang in their hearts, but even though they knew it was a trap, they had to jump in.

"In that case, I hope everyone will keep their word, otherwise I, Chen Gong, will not be so easily deceived. The military discipline on the battlefield is strict. Anyone who disobeys orders will not be rude!" Chen Gong said with a serious face, and at the same time, the powerful pressure once again shocked the whole audience.

The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and all the Yuanyings sat upright. Chen Gong was willing to stay, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.

"From now on, the Righteous Alliance, the Demonic Alliance, and all other civilian organizations are disbanded. Everyone must put aside past grudges, unite as one, and work together to fight the demons and build prosperity for humanity!"

"Unite as one, fight against the monsters together, and build prosperity for mankind!" A shill arranged by Chen Gong in advance jumped out and took the lead in shouting.

"Unite as one, fight against monsters together, and build prosperity for mankind!" Driven by the atmosphere, others also stood up and shouted the slogan three times!

"Morale is good!" Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction.
