After a brief skirmish, Ye Tianchen relied on his own strength to sit inside the palace of the Hidden World, allowing him to listen to the strongest figures in the Mortal World discuss matters. He wasn’t a fool—though no one explained things in detail to him, he had already understood a lot!

To put it bluntly, these strongest figures in the Mortal World, leveraging their cultivation realm, have lived prolonged lifespans, and the entire Mortal World is actually under their control. All the countries in this Mortal World are under their rule, too. To be more precise, whatever they want the Mortal World to become, it will become; if they wish for change, there will be change; if they want wars to develop between nations, wars will occur. Those past brutal wars with countless deaths—those were initiated and controlled by them!

Ye Tianchen also understood that, to these strongest people in the Mortal World, ordinary people were merely their toys, their tools for enjoyment. Especially the Indian Solomon’s Pusuo Sect Leader, the Vatican’s Pope, the Zeus Family’s Clan Leader from Greece, and Egypt’s Pharaoh—when the Sword Emperor of Japan’s Hokushin Ittō-ryū was around, he needed to be counted among them. These individuals are ruthless, heartless beings who every so often wish to witness chaos in the Mortal World—a sight of rivers of blood. In their words, it’s akin to watching a play, adding some drama to their boring lives. This cruelty, this heartlessness—they couldn’t care less for the life and pain of ordinary people in the Mortal World. To them, ordinary people are as insignificant as ants. Their life or death means nothing—it’s brutally merciless!

In truth, Ye Tianchen also saw that, although these strongest figures were said to control the Mortal World, they are divided among themselves, each with their own territory, each guarding their domain as overlords. Even if war is to break out, they don’t wish for it on their doorstep, but on someone else’s, so they can watch the show and simultaneously weaken the forces of other territories.

For instance, this time, the Indian Solomon’s Pusuo Sect Leader, the Vatican’s Pope, the Zeus Family’s Clan Leader from Greece, and Egypt’s Pharaoh—these four ruthless old ones have made arrangements to initiate change starting with Huaxia. They know that Huaxia is an ancient cultivation Holy Land filled with secrets. To explore the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm openly, the Great Elder won’t allow it—so they must create chaos throughout Huaxia to have the opportunity. That’s their real goal.

Faced with the aggressive pressure from these figures, the Great Elder of Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm seemed isolated, with the Indian Solomon’s Pusuo Sect Leader siding with Egypt’s Pharaoh. Their intention is clearly to plunge Huaxia into chaos, creating rivers of blood as they seize the chance to explore the mysterious places of Huaxia. Roma Vulcan remains neutral, not declaring any stance, making the situation stalemate. At that moment, Ye Tianchen spoke!

"What did you just say?" asked the Vatican’s Pope, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

"You don’t need to look at me like that; it won’t work on me. I said, I also agree that the Mortal World needs change—it’s somewhat dull and tedious. But how about we start from the Vatican?" Ye Tianchen stared coldly at the Vatican’s Pope.

"Outrageous! To dare start from the Vatican, I will be the first to kill you!" The Pope of Vatican stood up, seemingly ready to strike.

"Want to take action? Don’t put on an angry front. Do you think I’m afraid? Do you all think I’m afraid? Keep your supposed arrogance to yourselves; to me, you’re nothing. Your so-called authority has no effect here. You’re no different from ordinary people—not so high and mighty!" Ye Tianchen shouted, his immense power spreading throughout the palace, shaking it vigorously.

Truth be told, Ye Tianchen had long been sick of these old folks, always acting as if they were invincible. They’ve been controlling the Mortal World at their whim for too long, making decisions at will, as if everyone should fear their anger to the point of death. But Ye Tianchen was not buying it—not even the Heavenly King could sway him.

"You’re too aggressive—do you really think we can’t kill you?" The Zeus Family’s Clan Leader from Greece stood up, also glaring coldly at Ye Tianchen.

"You all want to come at me together? I’m ready!" Ye Tianchen stepped forward boldly, without backing down.

At this moment, Egypt’s Pharaoh also stood up, attempting to exploit the situation. Having previously clashed directly with Ye Tianchen, he sensed Ye Tianchen’s extraordinary strength. The Zeus Family’s Clan Leader and the Vatican’s Pope hadn’t struck yet—now they seemed ready to, and with Egypt’s Pharaoh’s power added, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t stand a chance of leaving alive, thought Pharaoh. So he stood, ready to act! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You old fogeys, are you furious from embarrassment? You speak of changes so lightly—why not start from the Vatican, or Greece, or Egypt? Why must it start from Huaxia? Hypocrites with ulterior motives!" Ye Tianchen declared outright.

"Hmph, young brat, this isn’t your turn to speak!" The Vatican’s Pope snorted, approaching Ye Tianchen with clear intent to strike.

"Old fool, is this your turn to speak?" Ye Tianchen retorted, undeterred, walking towards the Vatican’s Pope.

Bam!

It erupted as the Pope of Vatican immediately threw a punch, launching it towards Ye Tianchen. The massive red fist force was like a beam of blood, shooting towards Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen frowned slightly, as it was the first time he had seen the fist force unleashed by the Pope of Vatican!

Bam!

Also a punch, Ye Tianchen responded again with the Overlord Fist, and two fist lights collided together, evenly matched.

The clan leader of the Zeus family from Greece saw this and immediately prepared to step forward, but was intercepted by the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm. Both looked at each other coldly, with a feeling of an impending fierce battle!

"Do you truly want to help this ant?" The clan leader of the Zeus family asked coldly as he looked at the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm.

"I brought him in, and he’s a person from Huaxia’s territory. What do you think?" The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm retorted.

"Hmph, when you brought these two ants in, we knew you definitely wanted to gain an advantage, to prevent us from setting the first change in the Mortal Realm in Huaxia. Unfortunately, do you think you can succeed?" The Pharaoh of Egypt scoffed, standing together with the clan leader of the Zeus family, ready to join forces against the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm.

The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm couldn’t help but frown. Initially, he indeed had such thoughts, and seeing the blade-carrying man and Ye Tianchen make a move, he was rather gratified. After all, he didn’t want to set the first change in the Mortal Realm in Huaxia because it would mean Huaxia would immediately enter a state of bloodshed and chaos, rivers of blood. Being born in the Kunlun Secret Realm of Huaxia, the Great Elder naturally didn’t wish to see such a situation, so he’s been trying to prevent it. That’s why he brought Ye Tianchen and the blade-carrying man into the Hidden World, also harboring such intentions.

Actually, everyone can see it; the ostensibly strongest six people in the Mortal Realm claim to rule the entire realm, determining all things within. In reality, that’s not the case. They all dominate in different places; if they were as righteous as the Pharaoh of Egypt and these old folks claim, why didn’t they set the first change of the Mortal World in their own countries? Why must it be in Huaxia?

"Now it’s two against one, we can eliminate you one by one!" The clan leader of the Zeus family said with a smug smile.

This was something the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm hadn’t anticipated because he never imagined that the Pusuo Sect Leader of Indian Solomon, the clan leader of the Zeus family from Greece, the Pope of Vatican, and the Pharaoh of Egypt — these four ruthless old fellows — would unite together. Now, only he and Roma Vulcan remained. Even if Roma Vulcan stood with him, it couldn’t change the situation. Even if a major battle broke out, he and Roma Vulcan wouldn’t be able to defeat these four cruel old fellows. Ultimately, strength determines everything; if someone could suppress these four brutal old things, they wouldn’t dare be so arrogant and presumptuous!

"Amitabha Buddha!" Suddenly, Roma Vulcan appeared beside the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm, loudly chanting the Buddhist name!

"Hmm? Vulcan, what do you mean by this? You want to side with the Kunlun old man?" The clan leader of the Zeus family from Greece frowned and asked Roma Vulcan.

Roma Vulcan glanced at the clan leader of the Zeus family and the Pharaoh of Egypt and said:

"I will not stand on any side, I just feel that although the first few changes in the world made the Mortal Realm’s civilization progress quite rapidly, every time I think of the scene drenched in blood, with corpses piling up, I shiver, especially seeing those searching frantically for their loved ones and friends in the pools of blood and seas of corpses. And in the end, all they find are bodies, severed limbs, and they cry bitterly, despair reaching the extreme, living worse than death. I don’t dare to look at these people’s expressions..."
