Chapter 1976 Not from the same group

Yang Xi said: "Although Emperor Kuntian has planned to withdraw from the Strongest Palace, before she withdraws, she is still the Emperor of Heaven and is eligible to enjoy the treatment of the Emperor of Heaven!"

As he spoke, Yang Xi looked at Xiao Zhi with a sharp gaze: "Brother, what do you think?"

Everyone else also looked at Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi had a calm expression. He looked at Luo Yiyi and said, "Luo Yiyi, you decide for yourself. If you give up stripping off the Mountain and River State Map, you will still be the Emperor of Heaven and you don't have to do anything to get a Universe Essence. If you still choose to strip off the Mountain and River State Map and choose to quit the Strongest Hall, then if you want to get the Universe Essence again, you can only get it through the martial arts competition. This is a martial arts competition for the entire Heaven. It is not easy to get a top ten ranking in this competition."

"So... think about it carefully."

After saying that, Xiao Zhi looked at Luo Yiyi quietly, waiting for her to make a choice.

Everyone else also looked at Luo Yiyi.

Luo Yiyi was silent, with a conflicted expression on her face.

Hong Zu's scarlet snake body stood up and hissed, "Emperor Kuntian, hurry up, don't waste time."

Xiao Zhi glanced at Hong Zu and said, "Don't argue. This matter concerns the future of Emperor Kuntian. Let's give her more time to think."

Hong Zu shrank his neck and lay back on his throne.

Luo Yiyi lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Everyone was looking at Luo Yiyi, waiting for her to make a decision.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As time passed, many people, including Lingao and Yunshen, withdrew their gaze from Luo Yiyi, closed their eyes, and began to rest.

After waiting for a full half a quarter of an hour, Luo Yiyi finally let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, her expression was firm, as if she had already made a decision in her heart.

"God." Luo Yiyi said softly.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her again.

Xiao Zhi said calmly: "Tell me your decision."

Luo Yiyi pursed her lips and said, "I still decided to peel off the Mountain and River State Map."

Xiao Zhi did not show any surprise when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your choice. When Tianfo returns, I will work with Tianfo to help you peel off the Shanhe Shejitu."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhi turned his head slightly and looked at the Great and Mighty Heavenly Buddha sitting not far away, and asked: "Heavenly Buddha, when does your original body plan to return to heaven?"

The Great Mighty Buddha put his hands together and said, "Within half a year, my original body should return to the heaven. After returning, I will work with you, the Lord of Heaven, to help Emperor Kuntian."

Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "Okay."

In the end, Luo Yiyi chose to stick to her original choice.

This is the path she has chosen, and Xiao Zhi can only silently wish her the best in his heart.

After this routine meeting, Luo Yiyi proposed to withdraw from the Strongest Hall, and Xiao Zhi agreed.

After Luo Yiyi left, Xiao Zhi sat with his eyes closed in his side hall.

Not long after they sat down, there was a noise outside the palace door. It was Yang Xi coming over.

"Brother, I'm here!" Yang Xi's voice shouted outside the door.

"Come in." Xiao Zhi waved his hand lightly, and divine power spread out, opening the heavy palace door in mid-air.

In the somewhat empty hall, Xiao Zhi and Yang Xi sat opposite each other across a white jade tea table.

Yang Xi complained, "Brother, at today's regular meeting, Ling Ao and Yun Shen were deliberately looking for trouble, right?"

Xiao Zhi nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I am just looking for trouble on purpose."

"How dare they? In the last era, they went against you, big brother, and you almost got them dealt with. How long has it been since then, and they are actually starting to make trouble again? Have they forgotten the pain after the wound has healed?"

Xiao Zhi was silent for a moment, then said, "They must be using this little thing to test my bottom line."

"Testing your bottom line?" Yang Xi was a little confused: "Why is he testing your bottom line, big brother?"

Xiao Zhi did not answer Yang Xi's question, but said: "If my guess is correct, when the closed period of this universe ends, Ling Ao and Yun Shen should leave this universe."

At this point, Xiao Zhi sighed softly and continued, "They and I are not the same kind of people after all. It should be said that many people in the Strongest Palace have their own thoughts and plans. In the last era, we were forced to be tied together for survival. Now that the crisis has passed, there should be many people who will choose to leave the heavens and go to the endless multiverse to take risks and look for opportunities."

Yang Xi was stunned and speechless.

Obviously, she had not considered the possibility that the Strongest Palace would 'break up', and for a moment she could not accept it.

After a long while, she murmured, "Everyone stays in the heavens, we gather together, become stronger together, build the heavens together, and go on adventures in the endless multiverse together. Isn't that good?"

Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head.

Yang Xi exhaled lightly and said, "Brother, you are the Lord of the Heaven Realm. Are you just not going to care about this kind of thing? Are you going to watch the Heaven Realm fall apart?"

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "As long as I am here, the heaven will not collapse."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhi glanced at Yang Xi and said, "Besides, there are still people who will choose to stay in the heaven."

"For example?" Yang Xi asked.

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "For example, you."

Yang Xi was slightly startled and said, "The Heaven is my home. I will definitely stay in the Heaven."

Xiao Zhi nodded and continued, "For example, Emperor Kong Tian and Emperor Meng Tian will choose to stay in the heaven. As for those who want to leave the heaven, as the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If they want to leave, I will not force them to stay."

Yang Xi thought for a moment and said, "Although this era has just begun, it will eventually come to an end. Do those who have run away from home intend to stay outside forever and not come back? If so, when the era ends and they are no longer in this universe, they will be killed by the rules."

Xiao Zhi said helplessly, "Little sister, you said it yourself, this era has just begun, and it is still a long way from the end. According to the deduction of the living being system, this era is still at least 100 million years away from the end. With such a long time, there is no need to think so much now."

After a pause, Xiao Zhi continued, "When this era is nearing its end, if they are still alive, they will naturally come back. If they break through to the immortal level during this long period of time, then they don't need to come back at all."

"Yes, an era is really too long..." Yang Xi nodded and said.

She looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Brother, when the next era comes, do you think the strongest... cosmic-level beings born in the next era will call me an old monster?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "There is no need to wait until the next era. The universe-level beings born in this era will probably call us old monsters."

Yang Xi slapped his head and said, "Yeah, I forgot. Now it's a new era. I'm only over a hundred years old, but I'm already an old monster from the last era. Come to think of it, it's really..." When he said this, Yang Xi couldn't help but reveal a somewhat sad expression on his face.

After chatting for a while, Yang Xi stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Yang Xi asked, "Brother, do you know who will leave and who will choose to stay?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head slightly and said, "I know roughly, but I don't know the details."

"Brother, can you tell me who will leave the heaven so that I can be mentally prepared?" Yang Xi said.

Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "You will know this when the time comes."

"Brother, just tell me. I want to know now." Yang Xi said.

Xiao Zhi still shook his head: "It's really hard to say, because there is still a long time before the end of the closed period. Who knows if the situation will change during this period of time."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back, we'll talk about the future later."

Yang Xi returned to her side hall somewhat unwillingly.

Time passes day by day.

A few days later, the original body Xiao Zhi returned to heaven.

The return of the original Xiao Zhi was silent and did not cause any noise.

"The Heaven is still better." In the Origin Heaven, Xiao Zhi stood on a high mountain with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky, and said with some emotion.

The environment in the chaotic void is simply hell compared to the original heaven.

After so many years, the heaven that was originally full of holes has long been repaired by the system of all living beings.

The air in heaven today is good and the sky is blue, but it lacks some vitality.

For example, the mountain where Xiao Zhi is now.

This mountain is bare and has no vegetation at all.

However, this is not a big deal.

Yang Xi is practicing the Law of Wood, and after Yang Xi returns, let Yang Xi spread some seeds of life in the Origin Heaven Realm and tidy up the Origin Heaven Realm. It won't be long before the Heaven Realm will be transformed and become full of vitality, like a fairyland.

"Well, since we have decided to hold this martial arts competition, let's spread the news in advance. We should also give the gods in heaven some time to prepare, right?"

"As for the time, let's set it fifty years from now, which will be the centenary of the new era."

"I'll let those people in the Strongest Palace know about this, so they won't say behind my back that I'm the only one who has the final say..."

So, an emergency meeting was held in the main hall of the Strongest Hall.

Shortly after the meeting, a translucent pale golden light curtain popped up in front of the eyes of the entire heaven, whether it was the god-level players or the indigenous gods.

  On the light curtain, four large characters were written: Ascension Conference!

The densely packed golden text below is a brief introduction to the Ascension Conference...

The moment the 'pop-up window' appeared, the entire heaven was shaken.

Ascension meeting?

  What is the Ascension Conference?

All the gods in the heavens looked towards the pale golden light curtain floating before their eyes.

If in the last era, before the ultimate war that almost destroyed the heavens, the indigenous gods would still be wary of the sudden light curtain and suspect that it was some kind of powerful illusion, then since they were recruited by the system of all living beings and participated in that war, such doubts would no longer exist.

At the beginning, the indigenous gods were still wondering whether they were going to be recruited again, but after seeing the text on the light curtain clearly, most of the indigenous gods breathed a sigh of relief, while a small number of indigenous gods had their heartbeats quickened and an eager expression appeared on their faces.

The rewards for this Ascension Conference are so rich.

As long as you rank in the top 1000, you will receive a reward.

The rewards for 301st to 1000th place are: a 3-star magic technique and a 3rd-grade artifact.

The rewards for 101st to 300th place are: a 4-star magic technique and a 4rd-grade artifact.

The rewards for 31st to 100th place are: a 5-star magic technique and a 5rd-grade artifact.

The rewards for 11th to 30th place are: a 6-star magic technique and a 6th-grade artifact.

The reward for the top 10 is no longer magic or divine weapons, but something called the Essence of the Universe.

  This thing called the Essence of the Universe is unheard of by most of the indigenous gods. But after looking at the introduction of the Essence of the Universe, and considering that this is the reward for the top 10, anyone who is not a fool can see that this Essence of the Universe is definitely not simple!

This is definitely a treasure that is more precious and rare than high-star magic and high-grade artifacts!

The indigenous gods knew nothing about the essence of the universe.

It’s different for god-level players. After decades, the Essence of the Universe is no longer a secret among the god-level players.

  Almost all god-level players know that this essence of the universe is a divine object that can drive all the universe-level strong men crazy!

I thought that such a precious and rare thing would never fall into the hands of gods like them.

Unexpectedly, an event called "Heaven Ascension Conference" appeared.

As long as you make it into the top ten, you can obtain this precious and rare essence of the universe.

Even if you can't make it into the top ten, you can still get a generous reward even if you're in the top thousand.

Such good rewards and such great activities are really exciting.

  So what are you waiting for? Sign up now!

Then, Xiao Zhi saw that after he sent out this notice to the entire heaven through the system elf, only less than ten seconds had passed, and in the background data that only the administrator could see, more than one hundred people had chosen to sign up.

Most of them are indigenous gods.

There is no way. Compared with the god-level players, the base number of indigenous gods is too large...

In the following period, the number of applicants began to soar, and in less than a minute, it exceeded the one thousand mark.

Then, two thousand, three thousand...

At this moment, Xiao Zhi's expression changed slightly, as he sensed that someone was trying to call him through his Kun fish token.

The person calling him was Lu Zhong.
