Chapter 831: Chapter 462: Ranked on Three Lists, Unprecedented! _3

——

Across Heavenly Destiny City, turmoil gradually arose.

Meanwhile, in one of the taverns within the city.

Here, there was singing and dancing, with delightful music.

On the top floor, there was a secret room.

In that secret room, there were six people.

"With the New Technique arriving, we naturally welcome it with open arms."

The person leading wore a mask, yet his hair was dry and gray, clearly showing his old age, and even his mana couldn’t withstand the erosion of time.

He wore a simple long robe and sighed, "But the Alliance Hierarch is old, perhaps this journey will not see his return. Who shall be the next Alliance Hierarch?"

Silence fell among the people.

After a brief moment, a voice from someone else wearing a mask, resonant and full of vigor, said solemnly, "When the Saint Master emerged, the Old Taoist had already loudly called for the Alliance Hierarch to step down and yield to the worthy."

"Our ancestors founded the Holy Alliance through generations of hard work, risking their lives, to bring the Human Clan to its current stability."

"A young man coming in from outside the Holy Alliance, ascending to the highest position right away, where does that leave our generations of achievements?"

The man full of vigor was clearly in his prime, slapping the table, suppressing his anger.

"These words are mistaken!"

At this moment, another person spoke, his demeanor relaxed, his voice like a clear spring, calmly saying, "The initial Alliance Hierarch was also an outsider, didn’t he settle all forms of chaos and eliminate inner corruptions? Although in the early days of his succession, countless calamities befell the Human Clan... but after a hundred or two hundred years of governance, the current Holy Alliance has surpassed past generations!"

However, these words only made the atmosphere more solemn.

The current Master of the Holy Alliance had, in those years, swept across all directions with heavy slaughter.

Not only the evil fell by his hands, but also strong figures of the Human Clan.

In that era, no less than ten Masters of Holy Land were suppressed!

Seven Human Martial Saints were slain by him, one of whom had combat power reaching the Eighth Heaven!

As for those of Creation Level and Refining God Realm, they were countless.

This led to the Holy Alliance suffering greatly, lacking mainstays capable of standing alone, rendering them powerless against the calamity of evil, narrowly averting a new catastrophe for the Human Clan.

Only in recent years did the Alliance Hierarch restrain his inclination to kill, focusing on nurturing the younger generations, thereby restoring the prosperity of the past.

"What do you mean by this?"

Another hot-tempered person, spoke in a deep voice: "Are you perhaps in support of the Saint Master in power? Do not forget, your sixth-generation ancestor sacrificed for the Human Clan, with ancestral blessings, allowing you endless resources and privilege since childhood, enabling you to reach this state... Born noble, how could any outsider compare? In terms of the position of Alliance Hierarch, you are more qualified than him!"

"The Alliance Hierarch does not favor ranking by seniority; his esteemed self highly values the Saint Master, as you all know very well."

That clear spring-like voice, laughing, said: "Because he is simply a young version of the Alliance Hierarch! Moreover, he is younger than the original Alliance Hierarch, even more skilled, with a promising future. If he remains in power, he could govern the Holy Alliance for at least three to five hundred years..."

Everyone’s hearts grew heavier, even more uneasy.

For the next three to five hundred years, the Holy Alliance governed continuously!

For their generation, the hope of becoming the Alliance Hierarch was extinguished!

And for their descendants, at least three to five generations to come, no matter how outstanding, even if gifted by nature, they couldn’t ascend to the position of Alliance Hierarch!

An outsider, becoming the leader of the Holy Alliance, becoming their leader, would also surpass their descendants above all.

"It is heard that the Human Race Saint Master, south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, is known as the Killing Star, selfless and just, intolerant of carelessly taking lives, intolerant of using public office for private gain."

That voice, like a quiet stream, said faintly: "Among us, who is truly spotless, entirely innocent?"

He chuckled and said, "At least, I know in my heart, for the sake of cultivation resources, the things I’ve done are enough for the Saint Master to cut me down a hundred times!"

"But I don’t regret it either, had I not sought those gains, I wouldn’t have acquired the opportunities."

"Without sufficient opportunities, I’d be delayed in the Refining God Realm by at least thirty years."

"Without sufficient opportunities, I’d be delayed in the Creation Level by at least sixty years."

"Despite my uncommon talent, having learned the best, without those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I could have barely reached the initial Creation stage, how could I have become a Human Martial Saint?"

His gaze swept over everyone, "Since becoming a Human Martial Saint, I’ve made countless achievements, enough to offset my wrongs! I’m just afraid that the Saint Master won’t acknowledge them..."

Everyone grew even more silent.

The leading elder slowly said, "Our ancestors rendered endless merits for the Holy Alliance, protecting all the Human Clan... we, as descendants, receiving some opportunities, is only natural!"

"After all, it is today’s Alliance Hierarch in power, giving too little from the Holy Alliance."

"Previously, someone embezzled Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, spiritual elixirs, over three thousand in a year, and an Ancient Divine Object, to be slain personally by the Alliance Hierarch, that was a truly atrocious villain."

"We merely sought what was needed for cultivation, committing no wrongdoing, sitting in high positions and using some is not a crime."

That elder thus spoke, "Actually, the Alliance Hierarch’s decision might not be entirely correct... each year, scattered across various places, maintaining the cultivation of the lower martial artists with elixir pills, gathered together would suffice to create a Human Martial Saint!"

"However many low-level martial artists there are, they cannot change the overall situation."

"It is the strong above the Refining God Realm that are the backbone of the Human Clan."

"Rather than piling all these opportunities on the upper echelons of the Human Clan, he dispersed them across all directions for the regional Human Clan to possess martial arts resources."

"It’s like slicing the meat of a True Dragon to distribute to endless ants."

"The Alliance Hierarch barely reached Breaking the Ultimate Heaven, his longevity exhausted; his journey overseas, uncertain of return."

"The Holy Alliance... cannot have another impulsive leader with a black-and-white, excessive killing mindset!"
