Chapter 6081: Shang and Luo

Above, on the two main seats, sat Shang and Luo.

This surprised Jian Wushuang.

Judging by the setup, Shang and Luo had completely sidelined Zhen Ling, who didn’t even have a seat.

Shang, as the successor and heir of Qishen Temple, naturally had no objections to sitting in the main seat.

But it was unexpected that Luo also held such significant power.

“Everyone, take your seats!” Upon reaching the main hall, Shang demonstrated his status by immediately gesturing for everyone to be seated.

Zhen Ling, however, stood at the top of the hall, not taking a seat, but simply smiling and watching everyone.

With just a glance, Jian Wushuang understood the current structure of Qishen Temple.

The inheritors had reorganized and formed new factions.

The four great halls remained as before, but were now controlled by the Inheritors.

Then there was Yuanyang Palace, which, following Zhen Ling’s plan, had been developed into a power that not only wasn’t weaker but even surpassed the four halls.

Lastly, there was the Grave God Mountain.

Led personally by Shang, Tomb God Mountain also had several super-strong figures, making it Shang’s personal faction.

They stood behind Shang, seven Universe Masters, each at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm.

Not weaker than those hall masters and sect leaders.

Jian Wushuang scanned around, nodding slightly to acknowledge some familiar faces. “Brother Wushuang, has Zhen Ling really been sidelined? How come he doesn’t even have a place at the table?” Wu Zuo quietly transmitted his thoughts.

It was anticipated that Zhen Ling would hand Qishen Temple over to Shang.

For years, Shang had been at the forefront, so no one had any objections.

Moreover, after experiencing the outside world, they held only gratitude towards Qishen Temple, without the previous competitive stance.

“You’re underestimating Zhen Ling too much!” Jian Wushuang sighed, shaking his head.

At first, he also noticed some peculiarities, but now he understood.

Zhen Ling’s emotions were written all over his face.

Seeing his current leisurely demeanor, it was clear that while Shang appeared to be leading Qishen Temple, Zhen Ling was still pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Despite losing those puppets, Shang’s will was more obedient than those puppets ever were.

It’s a matter of character, hard to change.

Moreover, Zhen Ling was still Shang’s mentor. How could he be sidelined? Especially now, with Qishen Temple facing external threats, there was no room for internal strife.

Just as Jian Wushuang thought.

After Shang sat down, he briefly introduced Jian Wushuang and others, then actively introduced some current strong figures of Qishen Temple to them.

After a brief introduction, he finally looked at Zhen Ling, clearly waiting for him to speak.

“Ahem!” Zhen Ling knew it was his turn to speak. With many thoughts in mind, he chose to go last. After Jian Wushuang and others became acquainted with the strong figures of Qishen Temple, he began his performance.

He had waited countless years for this day.

But he also had concerns.

He feared Jian Wushuang and the others had changed their minds.

“Everyone, taking this opportunity, I have an important announcement regarding the inheritance of Qishen Temple!”

At these words, everyone looked towards Zhen Ling.

Jian Wushuang also put down his wine cup, looking at Zhen Ling, curious to see what tricks the old man had up his sleeve.

Jian Wushuang knew of Zhen Ling’s suspicious nature.

Once, because of a single word from Teacher Xuan Yi, Zhen Ling nearly played him to death.

He was always suspicious of who would destroy this long river of spacetime.

In the end, he found out it was himself!

Afterwards, he was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

Now, pulling such a stunt, he probably feared they wouldn’t give their best effort.

Perspective!

It could be said Zhen Ling’s perspective was small, or Jian Wushuang and the others’ perspective was big.

They had traveled so far without any thought of evading anything.

Even when Zhen Wuyang chose to stay in the Wanliu Divine Tree, it wasn’t out of fear!

Instead, he had his own circle and could not jump out of it.

No one knew what Zhen Wuyang had gone through at that time.

In a strange world, he couldn’t find a sense of belonging, and his Dao heart wavered.

He treated the past as a dream!

So he did not make things difficult for Zhen Wuyang; he just advised him a few times.

Eventually, he gave up.

Respecting others’ choices.

However, the people who chose to come back were not afraid of danger.

At least, the threats mentioned by Zhen Ling were not worth fearing.

“Lord Zhen Ling, whatever you want to say, just say it. We are all Inheritors of Qishen Temple!” Seeing Zhen Ling looking at him, Jian Wushuang was the first to speak.

His resolve had always been firm.

Wu Zuo and the others also nodded, looking at Zhen Ling.

Seeing that no one had any objections, he completely ignored the strange looks from the second-generation inheritors and, after pausing for a moment, said, “I have decided to establish the position of the Divine Lord today!”

Divine Lord!

The system originally established by Qishen.

Although Qishen Temple had cultivated strong individuals comparable to those from the Moro Spacetime over the years, they had not established a new Divine Lord position.

Now, they suddenly wanted to establish the position of Divine Lord.

This aroused the curiosity of many strong individuals in the temple.

Jian Wushuang and the others did not know the reason behind it; they were just curious and did not feel anything was wrong. Moreover, they did not crave the position of Divine Lord.

But others thought differently.

Because the Origin Source Sea of Qishen Temple always reserved the position of Divine Lord, once someone became the Divine Lord, they could place their Origin Source Universe into the

Origin Source Sea of Qishen Temple.

This was what they aimed to obtain.

With the nurturing of the Universe Sea, the Origin Source would continually improve, making

it a perfect auxiliary treasure.

But this position was limited!

In the past, it was not proposed because once Mie Sheng attacked, Qishen Temple could escape with the Origin Source Sea.

But with Jian Wushuang and the others returning, they had the confidence for a final battle and did not need to escape, so they decided to establish the position of Divine Lord.

“Divine Lord!”

Jian Wushuang did not know, but Wu Zuo did!

Even in the upper spacetime, where he had seen so much, he was tempted by the position of

Divine Lord.

Luo, sitting next to Shang, was also extremely shocked upon hearing this. She was already the

co-lord of Yuanyang Palace, and her Origin Source resided in the Origin Source Sea. She had not considered the position of Divine Lord much, but now that Zhen Ling announced this, it was clearly due to the return of Jian Wushuang and the others.

As a second-generation inheritor, she actually only had awe for Jian Wushuang and the others, not respect.

Because all these years, it was they who had been guarding Qishen Temple.

Why should the position of Divine Lord be given to Jian Wushuang and the others?

This was also very normal.

No one would be so selfless.

How many people had died over these years…

Only they knew.

Now, who should be given the position of Divine Lord?

Zhen Ling, thinking from the overall perspective, was not wrong.

He just wanted to protect Qishen Temple.

He remembered those who had fallen!

“Establishing the Divine Lord will witness the return of Qishen Temple’s greatness and glory.

This is the rule set back then, and today it shall begin!” As Zhen Ling spoke, he pointed his

finger, and the great hall instantly transformed.

Everyone in the hall was transported to the God’s Tomb.

Qishen’s Dao Arena.

Everyone was familiar with this place.

Because those qualified to enter the great hall were either Universe Masters or extremely

powerful emperors, they had all been here before.
