"Yes, Your Majesty." The Five Elements Elemental God respectfully bowed.
...
Time passed bit by bit.
On the other side.
After returning from Ancient Dragon Mountain, the Dean of the Ancient God Academy did not rush to test the Sect Leader of the Righteous God Sect in the Desolate Ancient Land. He knew that testing could not be rushed, otherwise, if it were exposed, the Mausoleum God General of the Bronze Forbidden Zone, as well as the possibly disloyal Lord of the Ancient God Court, could doom him to eternal damnation.
Therefore, he still followed the orders of the Mausoleum God General.
Leading the army to blood sacrifice the Great Domain Worlds near the Star River of the Ancient Strong Clan.
However, what made his heart sink was that.
As the slaughter increased, the karmic force attached to his Dao Fruit became more and more serious. Before the blood sacrifice of the Great World, their slaughter would be wiped out by their own Great Dao, which was not a big problem, but now, the karmic force of a Great World was entangled on them.
Their own Great Dao could no longer resist the erosion of karmic force.
He could already clearly feel that the Dao Fruit was becoming a little dull, and even upon careful inspection, he could smell a fishy odor on the Dao Fruit, as if it were festering.
This made him shudder.
He tried to let his subordinates do the killing, but if they got too close, the karmic force of the subordinates' killing would entangle him as if it recognized its master, which made his hair stand on end.
Because of this, he gradually slowed down the slaughter.
He even ran to the outer domains, not daring to approach the Great Domain World at all.
"I must return to the Desolate Ancient Land as soon as possible!" The Dean of the Ancient God Academy's eyes turned cold. In addition to testing the Sect Leader of the Righteous God Sect, he also had things stored in Central Province.
And just as he was looking for an opportunity, a chance encounter allowed him to see a way to return to the Desolate Ancient Land without arousing suspicion.

"This matter must be done with absolute secrecy. If it is true, we must inform other Daoists and not let the Forbidden Zone deceive us any longer." The Dean of the Ancient God Academy took a deep breath and thought to himself.
The entanglement of karmic force alone was enough to doom them.
If they continued to follow the Bronze Forbidden Zone, the entire cultivator lineage would definitely have major problems.
From the ancient times to the present, the cultivator lineage had suffered so much to have its current foundation and status, and he could not bear to see the cultivator lineage buried in the hands of the Bronze Forbidden Zone.
Moreover, based on the current situation, the Dean of the Ancient God Academy had every reason to believe that they would eventually become members of the blood sacrifice if they blood sacrificed the starry sky.
Therefore, he had already secretly made up his mind to destroy the conspiracy of the Bronze Forbidden Zone against the cultivator lineage.
Immediately, the Dean of the Ancient God Academy began to deploy.
Preparing to enter the Desolate Ancient Star River.
On the other side.
The other giants of the cultivator lineage were still leading their legions to continuously invade the Star River of the Ancient Strong Clan, with endless fighting.
As the slaughter increased, the karmic force gathered became more and more intense.
The blood-stained Dao Fruit was like soaking in a blood pool, with faint drops of blood falling.
This scene also aroused suspicion in them.
However, Gu Jun brought several spells. After they practiced them, they unexpectedly suppressed the blood color of the blood-stained Dao Fruit. In addition, with the comfort of Gu Jun, the old leader, the suspicions of the other giants of the cultivator lineage gradually faded.
Continuing to kill the clansmen of the Ancient Strong Clan for the descent of the Bronze Forbidden Zone.
On the side of the Ancient Strong Clan, some retreated to the Great World and did not come out, giving up the outer Great Domain World, while others reluctantly gave up their clan land and began to flee towards the desolate edges of the universe.
They were very clear that they were not the opponents of the cultivator lineage at all. Head-on confrontation would only result in being slaughtered. At the same time, they also dispatched manpower to find the existence of the forces behind the Black Tower.
However, the Star River was too vast.
Even the Ancient Strong Clan found it difficult to find their target.
The changes in the situation of the two major camps were staggering.
The situation in the ownerless starry sky also became more and more turbulent.
"Brother Di, look, this doll is so pretty." In the largest main city of a Great Domain World, a young woman was lingering in front of a small stall, holding a doll and showing joy.
Beside her stood a young man in brocade clothes.
The young man looked doting, stroking the woman's hair, and said softly.
"Not as good-looking as my Ying'er."
"Hmph, Brother Di always says that." Zhou Ying pouted her small mouth, pretending to be displeased, but the upward arc of her lips clearly showed that the young man's praise made her very happy.
"Have you heard? The battle in the depths of the starry sky is about to affect the outer domains. The Senluo Great Domain, which is not far from the Nine Star Great Domain, has already been affected. Now the flames of war have ignited, and several half-step Ancient God Realm experts have fallen!"
"What, so fast? Alas, I hope this troubled world will stop the war soon, causing unrest throughout the starry sky."
Just as the young man and the woman were getting intimate, among the passersby, someone talked about the situation in the ownerless starry sky, with a dull tone, making people feel depressed.
"Has the war already affected the Senluo Great Domain?" Zhou Ying's expression changed, and a hint of worry appeared.
"Don't worry, no matter how chaotic it gets, I will protect you and the Zhou family." Xuan Xiudi hugged Zhou Ying and said calmly.
However, his words did not make Zhou Ying feel safe.
"Pfft! Brother Di, you always talk big!" A strange smile appeared on Zhou Ying's face.
The Zhou family, as the ruler of the Nine Star Great Domain, had a foundation of nearly 100,000 years. Under the revival of the great world, several elders and the head of the Zhou family were all Ancient God level.
Her own Brother Di did have talent and strength, but troubled times wait for no one. No matter how much Xuan Xiudi leaped, how could he surpass the Zhou family in a short time?
If something really happened, it would be almost the same for the Zhou family to protect Xuan Xiudi.
Zhou Ying didn't believe what Xuan Xiudi said at all, thinking he was talking big.
"I'm very strong, okay!" Xuan Xiudi twitched his lips and rolled his eyes.
However, facing Zhou Ying's questioning, he did not say his identity.
As a disciple of the Imperial Capital Academy who came out to experience, revealing his identity would mean the end of the experience.
Therefore, he would not use this trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.
Seeing Xuan Xiudi being stubborn, Zhou Ying's white jade-like little hand reached for Xuan Xiudi's waist and twisted it hard!
Hiss!
"Miss, Young Master, the Master asks you to go to the Zhou family's council hall. There is an important matter to discuss regarding the Senluo Great Domain." Just as Xuan Xiudi gasped, a Heavenly God descended and respectfully saluted the two.
Xuan Xiudi didn't bother to joke with Zhou Ying, and a trace of waves flashed in his eyes.
The council hall was where the Zhou family's high-level officials discussed major matters. Calling them this time would definitely gather the other Zhou family's high-level officials.
They had already heard about the events in the Senluo Great Domain from the conversations of passersby.
In other words, the events in the Senluo Great Domain had attracted the Zhou family's attention.
And they had to discuss countermeasures for this.
For the Zhou family to be like this, the situation in the Senluo Great Domain was probably more serious than they imagined.
Xuan Xiudi and Zhou Ying looked at each other and saw the solemnity on each other's faces.
The two did not delay.
Following the Heavenly God who reported, they rushed to the Zhou family's council hall as quickly as possible.
Only to find out after arriving.
The other high-level officials of the Zhou family had already gathered here, only waiting for them.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Zhou Shitong, the head of the Zhou family, nodded and motioned for the two to take their seats.
"Since everyone is here, let's talk about the news from the Senluo Great Domain." Zhou Shitong glanced at everyone present and said.
The eyes of many Zhou family high-level officials in the council hall immediately looked at Zhou Shitong.
"The situation is not optimistic. An unknown force has invaded the Senluo Great Domain and released news that they want the Seven Halls of Senluo to submit, gathering all the manpower and resources of the entire Senluo Great Domain to invest in the battlefield in the depths of the starry sky."
"It's clear that they are preparing to use our outer domain forces as cannon fodder."
"The Seven Halls of Senluo are resisting with difficulty. One Hall Master level expert has already fallen. Now they are sending out messages for help everywhere, wanting us to support the Senluo Great Domain and form an alliance with the Senluo Hall to jointly resist the forces in the depths of the ownerless starry sky." Zhou Shitong said with a solemn face.
"What! Hall Master level expert has fallen!"
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the entire council hall suddenly froze.
The Hall Master level experts of the Seven Halls of Senluo were all Ancient Gods.
They already knew about the events in the Senluo Great Domain, but they didn't expect it to be so serious that even Ancient Gods had fallen.
"Then what does the head of the family mean?" The Great Elder of the Zhou family asked.
Zhou Shitong shook his head slightly.
The Zhou family had a total of four Ancient Gods. If the Senluo Great Domain battlefield could cause Ancient Gods to fall, the decisions made would cause heavy losses to the Zhou family if they were not careful.
Therefore, he summoned the high-level officials of the Zhou family to discuss.
"My intention is to retreat. The foundation of the battlefield involved in the depths of the ownerless starry sky is too terrifying. The Senluo Hall's approach is too radical. Even if they can attract enough Ancient God forces to form an alliance to resist, if they provoke the Three Heavens Ancient Gods, or even the Undying Ancient Gods, even the strongest alliance will collapse." Zhou Shitong took a slight breath and said his views.

Chapter 289 The Zhou Family's Crisis, Perhaps I Can Help
............
Indeed, whether it was the Senluo Hall, the Zhou family, or other Great Domain ruling forces, they were much stronger after the revival of the great world, but they still lacked a lot compared to the forces in the hinterland of the ownerless starry sky. They still needed time to accumulate, at least someone had to break through to the Ancient God Three Heavens, or even the Undying Ancient God, to be able to resist the forces in the hinterland of the ownerless starry sky.
And now, obviously not.
Therefore, even if this alliance could be established.
When the unknown forces that invaded the Senluo Hall reacted, they could easily lose their ability to resist by sending out a Three Heavens Ancient God.
"What the head of the family said is not bad, but... If we don't help the Senluo Hall this time, after the Senluo Great Domain falls, the Nine Star Great Domain of our Zhou family will be adjacent to the hinterland of the ownerless starry sky. If the unknown forces swallow the Senluo Hall and are still not satisfied, our Zhou family will probably encounter the same situation as the Senluo Hall."
