Chapter 56, Zhongli
In this generation, millions of years ago, a young man of unparalleled talent rose to prominence. In less than 100,000 years, he overpowered all others and became the new generation of Grand Elder of the Senate. He also single-handedly subdued two super ferocious beasts on the continent, giving his people a chance to breathe!
Today, this Grand Elder has been guarding the continent for millions of years, and the Senate is full of powerful figures. Three of the elders are already at the ninth level of Domain Lord, just one step away from becoming the Grand Elder!
Recalling this information, Ye Muxuan looked at the outline that appeared in the distance. The Senate, we have arrived.
After being away from my homeland for 120,000 years and leaving the Senate for 120,000 years, I have returned.
As certain thoughts flashed through his mind, Ye Muxuan slowly stopped. At the entrance of the main hall, a middle-aged man in black armor was already waiting there.
"Mu Xuan pays respects to the Grand Elder!" Ye Mu Xuan stood firmly on the ground and bowed to the middle-aged man at the entrance of the main hall.
The Grand Elder was not tall, only of medium build, not even as tall as Ye Muxuan. He also looked somewhat thin, with a few white hairs hanging down his temples. He did not have any sharp or powerful aura, but rather a sense of weight, composure, and immovability.
The Grand Elder stepped forward, sized Ye Muxuan up and down, then nodded and said, "Good, very good!"
"It's good that you're back!"
……
Because of an email from Ye Muxuan, the Grand Elder pondered this matter for a long time, even convening an elders' meeting more than once. After all, this concerned the survival of the clan, and no mistakes could be tolerated! If he hadn't truly confirmed that Ye Muxuan possessed the strength and status to ensure that even if he perished, the foundation of the clan's survival would not be greatly altered, the Grand Elder would have preferred to let the clan continue to live in the secret realm, even if it meant a long, or even indefinite, path to immortality.
Compared to whether his people could become immortal, or whether he himself could become immortal, the survival of his people was the top priority! He couldn't gamble on whether his people's greatest enemy was still alive, whether he still cared about them, or whether he was still waiting for them to show themselves.
With his talent, if he had been born in the outer reaches of space, he would most likely have achieved immortality. However, compared to his living environment and the path to immortality, the continuation of his people is the most important thing.
Now, the Senate has decided to relocate the people, allowing them to live in the primordial universe, instead of staying in this cosmic secret realm that was abandoned billions of years ago.
Over billions of years, the elders in the Senate have come and gone, generation after generation. Currently, there are twenty-seven elders remaining. One of them, the Great Elder, is the greatest contributor to protecting the people for millions of years in this era. He hails from the Zhong tribe, originally named Li, and is also known as Zhong Li. He is now a ninth-level Realm Lord!
The other twenty-five elders are, among them, three ninth-level Domain Lords, and the weakest are clansmen who just entered the Domain Lord level and became elders a few years ago.
There is another one, naturally, who is Mu Xuan, the seventh son of the Mu tribe, who set the record for the youngest elder.
Born in a secret cosmic realm, even one abandoned for countless epochs, the cosmic energy within is actually more abundant than that of the primordial universe outside. Thanks to the energy and rules of this realm, reaching the planetary or eternal level is relatively easy for the clansmen, but reaching the cosmic level is a huge hurdle, causing their numbers to plummet. As for domain lords, even though they can theoretically live for over a million years, there are only twenty-five domain lords still alive today, and the oldest is only a little over 500,000 years old.
The Senate has already made a decision, and Ye Muxuan has brought more than a dozen large world rings. Naturally, fifteen elders will use the world rings to take in all the clansmen on the continent.
The remaining eleven elders, including the Grand Elder, spent three days reviewing the star field information provided by Ye Muxuan before finally selecting a super-small star field.
Chenyi Starfield.
Just as Ye Muxuan had predicted.
Migrating all of his people out of the secret realm was no easy task. After choosing a star system to settle in, Ye Muxuan left his E9-class mechanical race spaceship behind and went to the Purple Forest Manor on Qiankong Star.
In the virtual universe, confirming the purchase of a star field involved signing various documents and going through numerous complicated procedures. Fortunately, Ye Muxuan was a core member of the Primordial Secret Realm in the virtual universe, and even some high-ranking officials within the Mingyou Universe were unwilling to offend him over trivial matters. However, even so, it still took nearly a year to complete all the procedures and documents.
From this day forward, the Chenyi Starfield is Ye Muxuan's private territory. As long as he doesn't establish a nation there, it will be under the protection of the Mingyou Universe Kingdom. Even the Qianyan Empire, where the Chenyi Starfield is located, has no right to interfere.
Thirteen years later, at Ye Muxuan's Purple Forest Manor, the Grand Elder Zhong Li finally arrived with twenty-five other elders aboard a spaceship.
Calculating the time, it has been a little over twenty-six years, almost twenty-seven years, since Ye Muxuan left Chaos City. It will only be a few decades before he steps into the extraterrestrial battlefield again.
Life-or-death adventures at the Realm Lord level are a tradition and a rule for the core members of the five major forces. For someone like Ye Muxuan, who entered the core level as a Realm Lord in the extraterritorial battlefield, even if he could delay at the beginning, it would only be a hundred years, and he couldn't possibly not go.
Ye Muxuan hosted a banquet for the Grand Elder and twenty-five other elders. The banquet lasted for several days, and it was during this banquet that the future living environment of the clansmen was confirmed.
The Purple Forest Manor serves as a stronghold for the clan. The Senate assigns some clan members to manage it, while elders with the strength of a Domain Lord have villas here as their residence.
Besides that, the most important thing was that Ye Muxuan was elected as the clan leader.
When this result came out, even Ye Muxuan himself was a little stunned!
Zhong Li, the Grand Elder sitting alongside him at the head of the table, had a calm and steady gaze, exuding a dignified and reliable aura. He spoke, "Including the clan leader, you have always been curious about the origins of our clansmen. Today, I can tell you."
"This is a secret that has only been passed down orally among the great elders of each generation."
"Only by advancing to the Domain Lord level and becoming an Elder can a member of our clan connect to the virtual universe and make contact with the outside world! This is the legacy left by the first Grand Elder." Zhong Li, a middle-aged man of short stature and somewhat thin with a few strands of white hair at his temples, slowly began to speak, looking at the twenty-five Domain Lord-level Elder clan members present. He continued, "Each Grand Elder entrusts a task to a talented Elder they deem worthy during their term, sending them into the universe to search for information. And Mu Xuan was one of those talented Elders I entrusted during my term!"
