Chapter 3193: The Fortunes of the Entire Race

With that, the Wind Venerable’s imprint immediately dispersed with the wind, completely vanishing from the surroundings without leaving anything behind.

……

The Darkstar race’s capital city had returned to its former glory after many years of development. However, the various new structures and the tall walls that still seemed slightly new were a record of the dark times they had faced.

Ten damaged divine halls hovered above the capital city, creating a formation according to a fixed arrangement and consolidating the Darkstar Divine Hall above. They were placed in a specific order.

The Darkstar Emperor currently sat on the emperor’s throne in the Darkstar Divine Hall, giving off a natural sense of might and grace.

Below stood ten Infinite Primes.

These ten Infinite Primes were the hall masters of the ten divine halls of the Darkstar race!

However, the seventh hall master, sixth hall master, and ninth hall master had been replaced a long time ago.

When the Darkstar race faced their crisis, the seventh divine hall and the sixth divine hall had almost been annihilated. Including the hall master, Jian Chen had killed all of their Infinite Primes.

The ninth hall master had died as well, only leaving behind two vice hall masters that managed to survive.

In the Darkstar race, the ten divine halls were crucial, so with no other choice, the Darkstar Emperor transferred vice hall masters over to serve as the hall masters of the sixth and seventh divine halls.

As for the ninth hall master, the vice hall master that was originally the strongest took up that role.

Among the ten divine halls, these three divine halls were ranked at the bottom now.

“Your majesty, after so many years of recuperation, coupled with transferring clansmen from the various surrounding towns and villages, the population of the thirty-six major cities have already returned to its previous state,” the new seventh hall master reported below.

The Darkstar Emperor on the throne indicated he had heard him and said in thought, “The thirty-six major cities are extremely special. They are the foundations of the formation. As a result, the thirty-six major cities must return to their former strength. However, have the surrounding towns and villages been affected with so many clansmen transferred to the cities over the years?”

“Your majesty, we’ve been encouraging births across the entire race over the years. For the sake of this, we’ve even specially produced some pills and set up various rewards. Under these policies, over ninety percent of our clansmen have basically been working hard, so our birth rate over the past few years has almost been a hundred times greater than usual. The lost population in the towns and villages is being replenished rapidly, so it hasn’t caused any major upheavals.”

“However, the only downside is that our overall strength is slightly weak…”

In the past, a meeting like this would never be held even across a thousand years in the Darkstar race, but now, they met up like this once every decade.

That was because Jian Chen had caused far too great of a loss to the Darkstar race’s population back then. The Darkstar race had gathered the strength of the entire race to cast the ultimate curse, gathering the will of their entire race to kill him.

For the sake of self-preservation and to stop the Darkstar race’s ultimate curse, Jian Chen was forced to turn against their people, destroying city after city through the Ultimate Way of the Sword.

The Darkstar race had a total of thirty-six major cities. He annihilated over twenty of them one after another, leaving none alive.

Jian Chen’s actions had saved him, but it also dealt an unimaginably heavy blow to the Darkstar race.

As a result, over the years, neither the Darkstar Emperor nor the ten divine halls had idled around. They did their best to rebuild the race.

“I have a deal with that outsider. We will be opening the altar again and giving him ten droplets of essence blood from our ancestor. Not only does opening the altar require the power of the ten divine halls, but it also requires the cooperation from the thirty-six major cities, so we need to make those cities recover as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we can’t open the altar again,” said the Darkstar Emperor.

As soon as they heard him mention the outsider that had almost brought their entire race to extinction, the ten hall masters gathered in the Darkstar Divine Hall all sank into a momentary silence.

It was obviously unavoidable for them to hold deep hatred towards this outsider. However, the outsider’s strength made them all shiver in fright, forcing them to lower their proud heads to him.

They were all aware that as long as the outsider was willing, he truly possessed the strength to destroy the entire Darkstar race.

In particular, his ability to massacre an entire city of millions with a mere thought made them all afraid.

In a single moment, he could reduce all the lives in an entire city into a sea of blood. The brutal reality had already become a nightmare to all of them. None of them dared to revisit this memory.

“The outsider has probably turned a thousand years old already. Can he still come in?” the second hall master said with extremely mixed emotions.

“That’s not important. What is important is I can see hope in him, hope that can allow us to escape from this prison. He’s also the only person that I’ve met across the countless years where I’m willing to stake everything on him without any worry.”

“As a result, even if he can’t come in, I’ll still open the altar and retrieve the ten droplets of essence blood when the time is right. Then I’ll deliver these ten droplets of essence blood to him through some other way.”

“No matter what, I will make him owe our Darkstar race a colossal favor.”

“He might die before he completely matures. He might not become a sovereign of the world in the very end, but we cannot find a second person that we can stake everything on apart from him. As a result, even if this is just one final desperate attempt, I’ll still go forward with it.”

The Darkstar Emperor’s eyes shone brightly as he glanced past every single hall master below in a dignified manner. He said authoritatively, “I know many of you still hate this outsider to the bone. You’re even tempted to just kill him. However, I must warn you against that. There are no grievances more important than our race breaking free.”

“Since he’s the hope of freeing our race and he’s willing to assist us, we obviously have to disregard his past actions and cast aside our past grievances to cooperate with him sincerely, as well as provide him with some necessary support. Do you all understand?”

“As you wish, your majesty!” The ten hall masters all answered below. None of them had the courage to question or defy the emperor’s order and decision.

“Darkstar Emperor, I suddenly admire you a little!”

At this moment, a particularly mighty voice rang out. His voice was impassive and slightly relaxed, without any sense of reverence.

The sudden voice startled all of the Primordial realm experts present. No one in the entire Darkstar race, including the Virtuous Sage of Heaven who possessed an exceptional status, dared to talk to the Darkstar Emperor in such a disrespectful manner.

The ten hall masters all raised their heads instinctively and looked towards where the voice came from.
