If one wishes to influence the entire All Immortals Alliance, they must either accumulate prestige slowly over time or use absolute power to intimidate the entire alliance.

The former is something Lu Yan cannot achieve, and the latter is beyond his capabilities.

Yet Lu Yan understands deeply that to intimidate the cultivators of the All Immortals Alliance, one does not necessarily need to display great power; one only needs everyone to believe you are strong.

Lu Yan stirred up the matter of the Red Lotus Demon Sect attempting to rise above He Dongsheng as an opportunity to reveal his identity as an Underworld Envoy seamlessly.

In the Apocalypse Version, Lu Yan had slaughtered many transcendent beings and Corpse Kings. Upon updating to the Xianxia Version, he continued to slaughter Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Demon Kings of the Demon Tribe, creating chaos in the entire Cultivation Realm, and had long established a great reputation.

In the Great Destruction Version, Lu Yan relied on divine techniques to destroy many satellite-class war fortresses, all evidence of his prowess.

Lu Yan didn't need to act; his formidable achievements alone were enough to silence any dissenting voices.

The moment the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs voluntarily evaded Lu Yan's gaze, he knew that his plan had succeeded more than halfway.

The vast Soul Continent hung high above the sky, with six thousand six hundred Yin Soldiers in formation, making the entire cave world eerily silent.

No one doubted whether Lu Yan had the power to suppress the entire All Immortals Alliance.

Even if the Array of Ten Thousand Spirits was activated, it might not be enough to contend against the Underworld Army from another world.

True Monarch Can Fa, with a guilty conscience, tried hard to suppress his thoughts, fearful that Lu Yan might see through him.

As for the people of the Red Lotus Demon Sect, their faces were ashen as if they had lost a beloved relative.

They couldn't have imagined that things would develop to this point.

After a long silence, it was finally Lu Yan who broke the silence within the cave world.

"I am very disappointed in you all."

Lu Yan's voice spread across the whole world along with the Human Emperor's Qi.

"Before coming to the Great Destruction Realm, I met with a person named Jiang Zhiwei and made a transaction with him."

The True Successors from various sects showed puzzled expressions and whispered among themselves:

"Who is Jiang Zhiwei?"

"Have you heard of this Jiang Zhiwei?"

"Could it be some hidden Nascent Soul True Monarch or a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch?"

Even the highest-ranking True Monarchs, Can Fa, Yun Lu, and True Monarch of Killing, frowned deeply in confusion.

Lu Yan took in everyone's expressions and said in a calm tone:

"I almost forgot, you do not know his real name.

However, he has another title which you might have heard of."

"The First True Successor of the Taiyi Sect!"

Upon these words, the expressions of many present Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators changed dramatically, showing disbelief.

"How is that possible!"

"Merely meeting with the First True Successor would be fine, but making a transaction with him? Even the invincible Underworld Envoy below Divinity Transformation wouldn't have that qualification!"

"That is the First True Successor, who once cut down external evil demons with his sword. Merely a wisp of his turbid aura turned into the vast Muddy Technique Forbidden Land."

"Though the records of all sects never refer to the First True Successor as an Immortal, even the Immortal Realm has long acknowledged the status of the First True Successor."

Especially True Monarch Can Fa, whose face turned extremely unsightly.

The longer one resides in the position of the Taiyi True Inheritor, the clearer it becomes what the First True Successor truly represents.

He attained the position of True Successor at fifty years of age. In fifty years, he had never met the First True Successor even once, and had little contact with even the top ten True Successors, as they had long departed from the mundane world, so much so that even Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs were trivial in their eyes.

Lu Yan being able to transact with the First True Successor was beyond True Monarch Can Fa's imagination.

True Monarch Can Fa immediately looked towards the Magical Carriage of True Monarch of Killing, and Yun Lu True Monarch's actions mirrored his.

Though named for killing, True Monarch of Killing, having been born into the Celestial Demon Path, had also cultivated the Celestial Demon Enchanting Heart Technique and held a Broken Spiritual Treasure known as the True Words Order.

The True Words Order could discern lies, and even misleading truths would be identified; even a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch could only shield from the True Words Order, not deceive this Broken Spiritual Treasure.

Inside the gauzy canopy, True Monarch of Killing had already taken out the Broken Spiritual Treasure, his voice hoarse:

"It's true."

What Lu Yan said wasn't false; before entering the Great Destruction Realm, he indeed made a transaction with the First True Successor.

The three Nascent Soul True Monarchs held their breaths, their gaze towards Lu Yan shifting from previous apprehension to awe.

Lu Yan quietly observed the actions of the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs. The True Words Order had no reaction because Lu Yan was indeed speaking the truth; he had truly made a transaction with Jiang Zhiwei.

This transaction was even initiated by Jiang Zhiwei, proposing to eliminate the Longevity Celestial Venerable's hidden schemes as a condition for Lu Yan to enter the Great Destruction Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly realized something.

Jiang Zhiwei's proposal did not include any other requirements than letting Lu Yan enter the Great Destruction Realm.

"Did Jiang Zhiwei foresee that I would use his name as a shield when proposing the transaction, thus no need to specify the details?"

This thought flashed briefly in Lu Yan's mind.

Amidst the shock of the many True Successors, Lu Yan spoke again:

"The All Immortals Alliance has wasted tens of thousands of years in the Great Destruction Realm. Although there are abundant rare resources here, this world has undergone tremendous changes. The All Immortals Alliance must make changes."

Lu Yan did not claim this was the content of his transaction with Jiang Zhiwei, but in the eyes of others, Lu Yan's words were taken as the content of his transaction with Jiang Zhiwei.

After hesitating for a while, it was Yun Lu True Monarch who finally asked:

"May I ask, Underworld Envoy, what kind of change will this be?"

"It's very simple!" Lu Yan's gaze sharply swept through the entire cave world, and he declared in a loud voice:

"From today onwards, the All Immortals Alliance will begin preparations for war, swearing to expel these old enemies from the Great Destruction Realm!"

At these words, there was an uproar.

If Lu Yan had not built his prestige through his achievements and his transaction with Jiang Zhiwei, relying on this statement alone would suffice to have him expelled from the cave world by the entire All Immortals Alliance.

The All Immortals Alliance was already surrounded by strong enemies, and actively starting a war now would be akin to digging their own grave.

Even if Lu Yan truly possessed invincibility below Divinity Transformation, able to contend with various version's forces, driving them out of the Great Destruction Realm would be impossible.

Because in this world, the existence of the core territory is an unalterable truth. Strong as it once was at its peak, the All Immortals Alliance couldn't even eradicate the weakest version's force.

As long as the core rule exists, there will be no possibility of truly eradicating a version's force and driving them out of the Great Destruction Realm.

The expressions of the many True Successors began to change, they whispered amongst themselves, questioning whether the First True Successor could indeed engage in such an absurd transaction?

At this moment, Lu Yan released his tightly-held Human Emperor Banner, and his hand reached into his Storage Space to retrieve an item.

It was a broken scepter filled with a sense of technology, made entirely of silver-white metal, looking like a special key but only half remaining.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the scepter in Lu Yan's hand.

"This item is called the Key of the Intelligent Mechanical, the key to activating the Intelligent Machinery City, and a symbol of its highest authority.

But now the Intelligent Machinery City has been destroyed, and this scepter symbolizing its highest authority is nothing more than scrap metal."

As the words fell, Lu Yan released his grip, allowing the Key of the Intelligent Mechanical to fall to the ground.

"Not only the Intelligent Machinery City, but its core territory has also been destroyed at its source.

The garrison forces scattered across various locations have completely withdrawn, the All-Knowing Mecha has fled with the remaining war fortresses to more remote barren regions, the Intelligent Machinery City no longer exists!"

"If you have doubts about this, you can go to the Intelligent Machinery City to investigate."

The True Words Order had no reaction, the meaning of which plunged all True Successors into silence once again.

This time, no one questioned the war preparations order issued by Lu Yan.

All eyes were on Lu Yan, standing beneath the sky, his figure seemingly enveloping the entire world.

At that moment, he seemed no longer a young cultivator but some being transcending the mundane, declaring an irreversible truth.

"I announce, a new era has arrived!"
