Chapter 1841 - Chapter 1841 Chapter 806 Power Struggle in the Ancestral

Chapter 1841: Chapter 806: Power Struggle in the Ancestral Temple, Embryo of the Divine Domain Chapter 1841: Chapter 806: Power Struggle in the Ancestral Temple, Embryo of the Divine Domain In the depths of the Wenren Ancestral Temple.

The reason Supreme Elder Wenren Fu challenged Clan Leader Wenren He was partly because Wenren He acted on his own, using the dozen or so freshly acquired Origin Crystals to hire assassins from the Divine Nest without consulting the Elder Council. This made several Supreme Elders feel that Wenren He was overstepping his authority.

Since over ten thousand years ago, when Nangong Hao broke into the Wenren Clan and wreaked havoc, and subsequent investigations revealed it was due to Wenren He’s son, Wenren He, although still powerful, chose to decentralize power to compensate other Elders for their losses.

Over these ten thousand years, the power of several Supreme Elders had been consolidated, and naturally, they didn’t want Wenren He to centralize power again.

Thus, actions like Wenren He’s arbitrary decision-making, which showed signs of overreach, naturally needed to be criticized.

On the other hand, there were the dozen or so Origin Crystals. If these were brought back to the clan, each person could have received one or two crystals. Perhaps, with the help of these crystals, they could advance a stage, pushing their powers to the Peak Infinite, presenting them with a completely different scenario.

Some Supreme Elders even secretly believed that Wenren He deliberately did not bring the Origin Crystals back to the clan in order to restrain them. Instead, he hired a Godly Venerable assassin from the Divine Nest and might have embezzled some of the crystals for his own cultivation or to trade for resources to achieve Infinite Perfection.

Wenren Fu spoke sternly, his voice thunderous, and other Supreme Elders echoed him.

“Indeed, Wenren He, you have overstepped your authority,” you had promised that major clan decisions should involve the Elder Council and not be dictated by a single person.

“I think that not all the Origin Crystals were spent on hiring from the Divine Nest; you must have embezzled some.”

“Hmph, this is clearly you pursuing your own selfish interests. Even though Nangong Yi has just broken through to the Peak Infinite, no matter how talented, it would take a lengthy period of consolidation before he might break through to Godly Venerable. And, most likely, he will remain at Peak Infinite for the rest of his life – a common occurrence on the Ancestral God Star.”

“Exactly, perhaps with those dozen or so Origin Crystals, our Wenren Clan could produce another Peak Infinite, and possibly even promote to Godly Venerable sooner than Nangong Yi, and at that time, what is the Nangong Clan? They could be destroyed with a flip of the hand.”

…

Despite the other Supreme Elders maligning him, Clan Leader Wenren He, seated at his position, remained calm and unresponsive.

In fact, his greatest concern at this moment was worrying that something unexpected had happened to the Divine Nest assassin during the attempt to kill Nangong Yi.

Rather than worry, it was more of an uneasy intuition.

As long as Nangong Yi could be killed, it would all be worth it. This was not only a matter of personal grievance but also vital to the survival of the entire Wenren Clan.

As for the current accusations from the surrounding Supreme Elders, he did not take them to heart. These accusations were nothing more than attempts to limit his power and divide the clan’s authority.

In his eyes, such actions were truly short-sighted.

The surrounding voices gradually quieted down, and the Supreme Elders seemed to realize that Wenren He showed no emotional fluctuations. This expression of disregard and contempt ignited a silent rage within them.

The first to challenge, Supreme Elder Wenren Fu, his face ashen, suddenly stood up and roared:

“Wenren He, in matters of clan governance, you remain indifferent, devoid of virtue and capability, I see that you are no longer fit for the position of Clan Leader.”

“Today, I propose the revocation of your position as Clan Leader and its transfer to the Elder Council.”

“Everyone here is witness, today a decision must be made.”

At this statement, the remaining Supreme Elders, including the Ancestor Temple Elders, all wore calm expressions, seemingly expecting this, while most of the ordinary Elders in the Council were visibly shocked, only three Infinite Early Stage Elders directly under the Supreme Elders remained composed, their eyes gleaming with excitement, as if the real point of the meeting was about to unfold.

Sitting in the Clan Leader’s seat, Wenren He seemed to come back to his senses, looking directly at Wenren Fu for the first time, his gaze growing sharper, turning terrifying, as if a roaring tide was surging within.

“Wenren Fu, you dare?”

Wenren He slowly stood up, but just as he did, centered on his position as Clan Leader, a beam of light rose, filling the entire council hall, quickly spreading and enveloping the entire Ancestral Temple.

However, the Spirit Light of the Ancestral Temple wasn’t intense on the outside, and the Divine Might was not strong, so the nearby members of the Wenren Clan only paid a bit of attention and didn’t care too much. The Ancestral Temple was the central and most sacred site of the Wenren Clan, eternal and undying, a pillar of faith for its people.

At this moment, in the Ancestral Temple, Wenren He, who had stood up, felt a powerful force of confinement and suppression descending upon him. This force, connected with the entire Ancestral Temple, had for thousands of years augmented the Divine Might of the temple, now seven-tenths of it suppressing him.

Under this immense force, Wenren He’s body was pressed back into his seat, and the explosive power of Peak Infinite that was about to erupt was quickly suppressed, then quieted down.

His expression, no longer calm, suddenly turned to anger, his eyes gathering and compressing an emerging inferno, which, once unleashed, would surely shake the heavens and the earth.

His gaze moved away from Wenren Fu, sweeping over the other Supreme Elders, clan elders, and ordinary Infinite Elders. He saw the schadenfreude, the excitement, but also the anxiety and horror.

His inner rage climbed endlessly, this fury, making the Divine Might within the hall intensify, even starting to shake the restraints placed upon him.
