Chapter 1215: Chapter 1206: Becoming God, at My Whim!
"There’s no point in saying more."
The Ancient Demon Dragon King fixed his gaze, eyes narrowing as they landed on the Divine Scale King. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "For the Human Clan’s Divine King Body, are you really sure you want to go to war with my Demon Dragon Clan, Divine Scale King?"
"Even if there’s war, so what?"
The Divine Scale King stepped out into the air, an infinite resonance of the Great Dao humming around him incessantly, like an Ancient Divine Being, not to be challenged. "From ancient times till now, your Dragon Clan has repeatedly ignited disputes between the Human and Ancient Clans. In that ancient war, the casualties were in the millions. All of this must be accounted for by your Dragon Clan."
"You’re forcing me." The Demon Dragon King spoke with a sinister tone.
"And if I am? Given your Demon Dragon Clan’s current situation, are you truly in a position to go to war with my Divine Scale Clan?"
The Divine Scale King was overwhelmingly forceful, never showing the slightest concession. He appeared as an exceedingly ordinary middle-aged man, yet the dominance and aura he exhibited at this moment left everyone present not daring to underestimate him in the slightest.
"Recently, several subsidiaries of the Demon Dragon Clan have been repeatedly challenged by the Divine King Body, with no fewer than a dozen Demigod Realm experts killed, even causing one of the Ancient Demon Dragon King’s avatars to be slain, and the Inheritance Demon Weapon fell into Mo Wangchen’s hands."
"With his avatar slain, his strength must have dwindled. Facing a newly resurrected king, he likely stands little chance of victory, especially since Mo Wangchen has the backing of such a colossal entity as the Green Martial Alliance..."
The situation reached extreme tension for a moment due to a word from the Divine Scale King. Around them, everyone held their breath, whispering softly.
At the moment of the Divine Scale King’s appearance, the situation underwent a tremendous reversal. Given the Demon Dragon Clan’s current circumstances, if they truly go to war, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Very well!"
Faced with the Divine Scale King’s might, the Ancient Demon Dragon King remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. His expression was extremely dark, but ultimately he suppressed the anger in his chest. "Indeed, I am no longer qualified to initiate a war, but after today, your Divine Scale Clan stands in opposition to the Ancient Clans. Divine Scale King, very well, I will remember today’s event."
With that said, he waved his hand in the void, and in an instant, Mu Xi flew before Mo Wangchen.
At this point, even the Ancient Demon Dragon King had to show weakness. He was well aware of the Divine Scale King’s character—today he came only to assist Mo Wangchen in rescuing someone, not to truly start a war.
However, if he were to really kill Mu Xi, Mo Wangchen would undoubtedly go berserk. At that time, the Divine Scale King would certainly intervene, and with the support of the Green Martial Alliance, the current Demon Dragon Clan could not withstand the combined forces of these three parties. Their downfall would be inevitable in the blink of an eye.
"Opposition to the Ancient Clans?"
The Divine Scale King looked at the Ancient Demon Dragon King, laughing coldly. "You’re thinking too highly of your Demon Dragon Clan. Do you really believe the Dragon Clan can represent any Ancient Clan in this world?"
"Apart from your Dragon Clan and some other Ancient Clans, most tribes, like my Divine Scale Clan, have no intention of opposing the Human Clan."
This wasn’t false. Nine hundred years ago, Ancient Clans emerged into the world, but not all tribes were like the Dragon Clan, hostile towards the Human Clan. Mostly, they maintained a neutral stance, and some Ancient Clans even formed cooperative relationships with the Human Clan, developing together during these nine centuries.
"Different stances leave nothing more to be said."
The Ancient Demon Dragon King spoke faintly, then shifted his gaze to Mo Wangchen, "You do have a few of Ji Yihao’s qualities. However, the world is changing, and everyone is on the path to Becoming God. Mo Wangchen, you have made many enemies, and I wonder how long you can remain arrogant."
"Becoming God?"
Mo Wangchen looked at the opponent, silent for two breaths before suddenly laughing, a brilliant smile.
"Why are you laughing?" the Ancient Demon Dragon King snorted coldly.
Mo Wangchen ignored him and instead turned to address the gathered cultivators watching from behind, "At this point, I no longer wish to hide it. To tell you the truth, the Investiture of the Gods from the Ancient Heavenly Court is now in my possession."
"Investiture of the Gods?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, unable to react immediately.
But soon, an elder strongman exclaimed, "What? The Investiture of the Gods is in your hand?!"
"For the world to become gods, the primary condition is to obtain a Divine Status. The Investiture of the Gods, which once belonged to the Ancient Heavenly Court, disappeared after the ancient turmoil. No one has been able to suppress it, yet you claim it’s in your hand?"
Though unwilling to believe it, many couldn’t help but step forward, eagerness for answers shining in their eyes.
"The Ancestor King personally deduced and indeed said that the Investiture of the Gods would reappear, at which time everyone could become gods. Could it really have fallen into Mo Wangchen’s hands?" Many strong figures from various Ancient Clans present furrowed their brows, evidently having heard something before.
"Not only is the Sealing God Tablet in my hands, but to be honest, I control it now. In as little as two years or as much as ten years, it can condense a Divine Status. But whether the world can obtain it also lies at my discretion."
Mo Wangchen’s voice was calm but distinctly reached everyone’s ears.
Originally, he didn’t intend to say this, but in the end, he did.
The Investiture of the Gods was a Divine Object created by the Master, managed by the Heavenly Court for countless eras. The Master’s original intention in creating it was to allow all beings under Heaven and Earth to become gods.
Though he wished to keep the Sealing God Tablet a secret upon obtaining it, as a disciple of the Master, Mo Wangchen ultimately didn’t want to go against the Master’s will.
That’s right, to let everyone become gods.
This was the Master’s initial purpose in creating the Investiture of the Gods, and Mo Wangchen did not wish to defy it!
So today, he declared it here, in front of the entire world.
"Whether you can obtain a Divine Status, it’s at my discretion. What do you mean by this?"
At this moment, whether Human or Ancient Clans, everyone couldn’t help furrowing their brows.
Did Mo Wangchen mean that for the world to become gods, everyone had to obtain his approval?
Such a notion was somewhat difficult to accept.
Especially for some Ancient Clans, who had targeted the Divine King Body many times. If so, they were in trouble.
"Just as you imagined, for everyone to become gods, they must get my consent. But in truth, I have no desire to oppose anything. The reason I say this today is to caution the Human and Ancient Clans. As long as you are willing to develop together without provoking disputes between the two tribes, and if you sense the Sealing God Tablet, then a Divine Status can naturally be given. But..."
Mo Wangchen’s tone paused as he scanned the crowd, continuing, "For tribes like the Dragon Clan, which deliberately incite disputes, even if it means going against the Heavenly Dao’s will, I will not bestow a single Divine Status to anyone in the Dragon Clan."
