148.Chapter 147 – Better to be a Slave of the Lin Family than a Sectarian
Chapter 147: I’d Rather Be a Slave of the Lin Family Than a Sect Sect Son
The four major races were completely destroyed.
Under the full force of the Cang Dome Emperor, Xuan Tian Emperor and the others, the Nine Spectral Serpent Race and the other races, which did not have any great emperor powerhouses to sit in on them, did not even manage to resist for two months before they were destroyed by the many powerhouses of the continent.
Naturally, the accumulation of those four races for nearly ten million years fell into their hands.
However, they didn’t keep this huge resource all to themselves, but rather, they temporarily put them away.
“Fellow Daoist Cang Qiong, do you think the Martial Emperor, he will grant our request?”
“I think he will, after all, this isn’t a bad thing, instead, it will be extremely beneficial to the Lin family and even the Martial Emperor himself.”
“I’ve specialized in understanding the situation in the Cave Continent, in the early days, the Martial Emperor made an Inferno Alliance in order to cope with the threat of the Blood Demon Giant Whale Clan, saying that it was for the purpose of gathering the qi of all the major forces, this request of ours, although it has a hint of selfishness, it can likewise bring about majestic qi.”
In the skies above a sea area billions of miles away from the Cave Heaven Continent, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others with many of their men were flying towards the Yan Huang Imperial City at an extremely fast speed.
On the way, Emperor Xuantian, Emperor Extreme Cold, and the others clearly had a trace of apprehension on their faces.
They were afraid of being rejected.
However, Emperor Cang Dome, who had specialized in understanding the Lin Family and Lin Chen, had some certainty in his heart.
Now that the five major races of the seas had been destroyed, the remaining races of the seas all together were no match for any of their continents, and without an external threat, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others began to make plans for their future.
Their first thought was to fuse the five continents of Cave Heaven Continent, Cang Dome Continent, Xuan Heaven Continent, White Cloud Continent, and Extreme Cold Continent into one, forming a medium-sized continent.
“If that’s the case, then it’s indeed unlikely that Fellow Martial Emperor Dao will refuse.”
After hearing the Cang Dome Emperor’s analysis, the White Cloud Emperor and the others couldn’t help but nod their heads at once, a trace of anticipation surfacing on their faces.
“Although our five continents are better than not a medium-sized continent, they are still quite a bit stronger than the average small-sized continent, and there are Great Emperors who are strong all year round, so if we merge into one, we should be able to become a medium-sized continent.”
“That’s right, the medium-sized continent’s concentration of qi and aura is not something that can be compared to today, and at that time, it’s very likely that it will breed cultivation resources suitable for us to use, and we’ll be able to hopefully break through to a higher realm.”
“.”
The moment they thought of the benefits of the fusion of the five continents, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others couldn’t help but show a trace of excitement on their faces.
They, the Great Emperors, had lived for more than a million years at least, and some of the ones who had lived for a long time were even double or even triple that number.
And take the human race for example.
The lifespan of a Cave Heaven realm powerhouse was around three million years, and some powerhouses that practiced water-based techniques, wood-based techniques, or special techniques that favored the life-based techniques might even have a lifespan of three and a half million or even four million years.
Among the great emperors of the four continents, those from the human race occupied 40%, and the most representative of them was the Cang Dome Emperor.
The Cang Qiong Emperor had already lived for more than three million years.
Although his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Cave Realm, with a conservative estimate of four million years of lifespan, he was considered to be entering old age for him, if he didn’t break through to the late stage of the Cave Realm to extend his lifespan.
Maybe one day, he might run out of lifespan and sit down.
This was something that the Cang Dome Emperor was unwilling to face, and it was also something that worried the hearts of the great emperors present.
Therefore, for the sake of their future, they remembered the ancient legends of the True Martial World and the idea of fusing the continents into one was born in their hearts.
However, with their means, this matter was simply impossible to do, and they had to ask Lin Chen to do it in order to have some possibility.
After all, although the power of a Cave Heaven realm powerhouse was able to destroy a small continent like the Extreme Cold Continent, it was still much worse when trying to move the continent and make it fuse with the other continents.
Once something went wrong, it could be a disaster.
“Although I don’t know what level of strength fellow Martial Emperor Daoist has reached, with the strength he showed before, it should be possible to manipulate the continents to merge.”
With this thought in his mind, the Cang Dome Emperor and his group quickly arrived at the Cave Heaven Continent.
They entered the Yan Huang Imperial City.
And at that moment, Lin Chen happened to walk out of the Endless Void and returned to the Lin Family.
“Hm? What are the Cang Dome Emperor and the others doing in my Yan Huang Imperial City again?”
“Xia’er, go and welcome the Cang Dome Emperor and the others to our Lin Family’s meeting hall.”
Noticing the figures of these powerhouses, Lin Chen couldn’t help but show a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but without thinking much about it he instructed Lin Xia and disappeared in place.
“It’s father~!”
Lin Xia, who was resting on his legs, heard Lin Chen’s order and without a moment’s delay, he left the Lin Family.
Soon, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others were ushered to the Meeting Hall by him.
At this time, Lin Chen had long since sat on the main seat, and there were many Lin Family executives sitting around him.
“We have met Martial Emperor~!”
As soon as they entered the main hall, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others placed their gazes on Lin Chen and arched their hands.
Then they nodded to Lin Yi, Chu Siting and the two others on the side, as if they had greeted each other.
“There is no need for you to be polite, I wonder what you all came all the way here to do?”
Lin Chen didn’t have time to beat around the bush with them and directly opened his mouth to inquire.
Upon hearing this, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others couldn’t help but be stunned in their hearts, they didn’t expect Lin Chen to be so direct.
However, having prepared for this, after they looked at each other, the Cang Dome Emperor, who was the strongest amongst them, took a step forward and then reached out with a wave of his hand, and instantly, the storage rings that resembled a small mountainous pile appeared in the main hall.
“Senior Martial Emperor, these storage rings are filled with treasures scavenged from several races such as the Nine Spectral Serpent Race, so I would like to ask senior to determine the ownership of these resources.”
“Oh? Those four major races were all overthrown by your major forces, why are you thinking of letting me distribute them, aren’t you afraid that I will develop selfishness?”
“Senior is joking, back then, if it wasn’t for senior’s hand in decapitating the great emperor powerhouses of these races, it probably wouldn’t be me and the others sitting here, besides, with senior’s contribution, it’s only right that all of these treasures should be returned to the Lin family.”
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, the Cang Dome Emperor said smilingly.
Although the resources of these four great races were huge, there were very few that were suitable for Great Emperors to use, and with only a few of them, there simply wasn’t enough for them to share, and if Lin Chen had taken all of them, there would have been less for them to argue about.
As for the resources below the Emperor realm, how much they didn’t even put in their eyes.
“That’s so.”
Lin Chen nodded, judging from the Cang Dome Emperor’s demeanor, the words were still quite sincere.
However, to be honest, at this point in time, the Lin Family was not lacking in low-end and mid-range cultivation resources.
The benefits generated by the Lin Family’s contribution point system alone were enough to support the entire family, not to mention the fact that the Lin Family had many industries that they had started themselves.
After all, this was a huge market of hundreds of trillions of living beings on a continent, and it was simply more than enough to feed the Lin Family’s mere three million clansmen.
It could be said that the Lin family’s current treatment was simply not too good. As long as you had a little bit of talent, a large amount of resources would be placed in front of you, and if you made any great contributions to the family, even if your talent was not good, you could obtain treasures from the family to improve your talent, thus changing your life against the odds.
Such treatment, I don’t know how many living beings are envious.
Even, in today’s Cave Heaven Continent, there is such a saying circulating.
It is better to be a slave of the Lin family than a son of the sect.
It meant that one would rather be a subordinate of the Lin Family than a disciple of a sect.
Because, even if it was a servant of the Lin family, the treatment they enjoyed was much better than the average sect disciple, especially in the Lin family’s incomparably superior cultivation environment.
“Since you guys are so intentional, how about this, fifty percent of these resources will go to my Lin Family, and the remaining fifty percent will be evenly distributed by you and the others, how about that?”
Even if the Lin Family did not lack cultivation resources, there was no reason for Lin Chen not to accept this benefit that was delivered to his door.
“We will respectfully follow senior’s orders.”
Upon hearing this, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others couldn’t help but glance at each other, all seeing a hint of delight in each other’s eyes, and answered in unison.
“Alright, you guys should have come to my Lin Family for more than simply delivering resources, right?”
“There’s no harm in saying what else is going on.”
Waving his hand, Lin Chen continued to ask.
As the saying went, taking a man’s hand was short, eating a man’s mouth was soft, and with the Cang Dome Emperor and the others showing so much sincerity, he didn’t mind giving a little bit of favor if he could do it without infringing on his own and his family’s interests, as long as it didn’t violate his principles.
“It’s like this, we.”
Arriving at this moment, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others naturally wouldn’t back down as they spoke out their intentions.
Using the Cave Heaven Continent as the center to fuse the remaining four continents into one?
To do so, they were also willing to contribute half of all the resources they went?
All sorts of things were said, causing the Lin Family executives present to open their mouths wide.
They didn’t expect that the Cang Dome Emperor and the others actually had such a majestic purpose .
It was they who were narrow-minded.
“Fusing the five continents into one?”
After listening to the narrative of the Cang Dome Emperor and the others, Lin Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a glint.
From this, he was naturally able to see the benefits of doing this to him.
The continents of the True Martial World were originally one, and it was only because of the catastrophe that occurred in the Ancient Era that they were shattered and formed the current situation.
If he was able to fuse these five continents into one, it was estimated that he would be able to obtain an extremely generous reward of qi luck that would descend from heaven and earth.
Of course, if a bad move caused an accident to occur during the fusion process, the consequences would not be something that an ordinary person could bear.
“I wonder if the True Martial World has merit and karma, if it does, then…”
At the thought of this, Lin Chen’s heart was completely stirred.
To know, that was merit.
In the legends of his previous life, even that high and mighty saint who would not be erased for ten thousand lifetimes would have to go to great lengths to plot for a supreme treasure, and if the True Martial World also had merit, if he could obtain it, then his growth rate would be even more terrifying.
However
After glancing at the hint of nervousness that the Cang Dome Emperor and the others were inadvertently revealing, Lin Chen’s mind turned a hundred times as if he had thought of something.
“The fusion of the five continents is fine, but”
Saying this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but pause, glancing at the Cang Dome Emperor and the others who were staring at him with gleaming eyes, before continuing to speak.
“I hope that all of you Fourth Grade and above forces on these continents will join the Yan Huang Alliance.”
“Of course, I don’t require those forces underneath to join the Yan Huang Alliance one hundred percent of the time, but those of you who have Great Emperor powerhouses sitting around must join.”
“If you all agree to this condition, I can make a move.”
With regards to his own strength, Lin Chen was still quite confident.
His strength that was comparable to the peak of the late stage of the Cave Heaven realm was enough to allow him to easily push a small continent like the Cang Dome Continent and the Xuan Tian Continent, and being in a high-level Innate Sacred Body and possessing an extremely perverse divine Soul power, he also had enough certainty that the continents wouldn’t have any too big of a problem in between the fusion.
“This.”
Hearing Lin Chen’s request, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others couldn’t help but have a trace of hesitation flash across their faces.
As the sole overlords on their respective continents, they who were accustomed to reigning as kings and giving orders, felt uncomfortable at the thought of joining the alliance.
However, if they didn’t join.
Lin Chen wouldn’t be able to make a move, and wouldn’t be able to make the continents merge to form an environment that was more suitable for Great Emperors to cultivate, and the odds were that their cultivation would just stop where it was until their lifespans ran out.
Thus, after some agonizing.
The Cang Dome Emperor and the others couldn’t help but give in.
Compared to living beings, freedom didn’t seem to be that important.
Besides, they had a great deal of autonomy after joining the Yan Huang Alliance, at most, they wouldn’t be able to do whatever they wanted like before.
After all, the development of the major forces in the Cave Heaven Continent after joining the Yan Huang Alliance explained a lot.
With this in mind, they were not so reluctant to join the Yan Huang Alliance.
“Fine, fine, in that case, let’s set a time.”
“Hmmm let’s set it for a hundred years from now.”
“With a hundred years’ time, I believe you guys can also handle the chores of your respective continents and relocate your continents to the vicinity of the Cave Heaven Continent.”
A small smile appeared on his face as Lin Chen pondered for a while before setting a one hundred year contract.
In response, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others would naturally not object.
With their power, moving the continent was still manageable, after all, there was strength in numbers.
However, fusing continents was a technical job, no amount of people would be of much use, in addition to being strong enough, they also had to have an incomparably subtle control over their power.
Subsequently, the Cang Dome Emperor and the others didn’t stay in the Lin Family for much longer, and soon after, they said their farewells and left the Lin Family.
On the way, they went through a heated discussion.
In the end, it was decided that they were prepared to get the work of the forces above the fourth rank within their respective continents done within a year, and then split up in two directions.
The Cang Dome Emperor and Xuan Tian Emperor led two Cave Heaven Realm powerhouses respectively, taking the lead in moving the smaller White Cloud Continent and the Extreme Cold Continent towards the Cave Heaven Continent, and then in collaboration, together they moved the Cang Dome Continent, and the Xuan Tian Continent respectively, to the vicinity of the Cave Heaven Continent.
And as the Cang Dome Emperor and the others summoned all the major powers above the fourth rank, the news about the five continents to merge, as well as all the major powers joining the Yan Huang Alliance, quickly spread throughout the continents, setting off a huge uproar.
