Chapter 999 - 97-98: The Emergence of the Divine Mandate Platform, The Age of Great Strife (Two-in-One)

Moreover.

In Shen Changqing’s view.

The benefits he has given the other party are already more than sufficient.

Constantly bestowing favors will only lead them to develop thoughts they shouldn’t have.

Thus.

When it comes to fighting for oneself, he will let them do it themselves; he will not intervene excessively.

"Understood!"

Cui Fu bowed and responded.

"Alright, you may go for now, and investigate any news about the emergence of the Divine Mandate Platform and any other possible upheavals it might bring."

Shen Changqing waved his hand to let him retreat.

The emergence of the Divine Mandate Platform stirred up such a commotion; it is sure to cause some turmoil.

At that time.

He will naturally understand what the Divine Mandate Platform truly is.

Originally.

He intended to go to the Heavens Pavilion and thoroughly investigate the matter of the Divine Mandate Platform.

But after thinking it over, he decided to abandon that plan.

Rather than wasting that time, it would be better to use it to find a way to ascend to the Sixth Level of Cave Heaven.

Furthermore.

During these two years, the Qingfeng Clan had accumulated a considerable amount of faith.

Next.

He needs to refine some of that faith so that the Divine Path Realm can break through from the perfection of the Fourth Level to the Fifth Level.

Lingering too long in the current realm does not match the reputation of the Zhongshan Clan’s geniuses.

A timely breakthrough.

Will do no harm.

While Shen Changqing silently remained at Qiu Peak, elsewhere, the Candle Sect Main Hall.

Zhongshan Dongxuan, who had been out battling for a long time, and numerous Candle Sect powerhouses in the Void Battlefield, have all returned.

Inside the grand hall.

Silence reigned.

Every Elder was surrounded by a strong stench of blood, making it slightly nauseating.

This blood scent remained after the fall of those in the God Realm; it wasn’t easy to dispel and would only gradually fade with time.

However.

No one cared.

After years of fighting in the Void Battlefield, the smell of blood had long become commonplace.

After a long pause.

The Second Elder, Zhongshan Ren, calmly spoke: "The Divine Mandate Platform, under normal circumstances, appears only once every thirty thousand years. Only twenty thousand years have passed since its last emergence, less than the thirty thousand year deadline.

Its sudden appearance now is quite unusual."

Every thirty thousand years, the Divine Mandate Platform emerges.

Upon each emergence for a century, it re-occults again.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the recorded appearances of the Divine Mandate Platform have been fixed.

Cases like this, where it emerges before the thirty thousand years, have never occurred in his memory.

Upon finishing.

On the throne, Zhongshan Dongxuan’s authoritative voice resounded.

"The Divine Mandate Platform appears once every thirty thousand years; this is its destiny. However, if the Heavens have destinies, there will also be variables. It is said that whenever the destiny of the Heavens surges and the era of great contention is about to start, the Divine Mandate Platform will appear early.

And this marks a rare opportunity for our Heavens Myriad Clans."

"Era of great contention?"

Hearing this, many Elders looked puzzled.

Clearly.

They were unfamiliar with the era of great contention.

Zhongshan Dongxuan explained: "During the era of great contention, the rise and decline of the Heavens Myriad Clans hang in the balance; in this era, it becomes much easier for those in the God Realm to ascend to Divine King, and Divine King to ascend to Divine Lord.

Every era of great contention marks a time of glory for the Heavens Myriad Clans.

In the past several hundred thousand years, latent powerhouses might emerge suddenly in an era of great contention and subsequently dominate an era."

"In fact, my Zhongshan Clan failed during the last era of great contention, causing our decline. Now, after a million years, the era of great contention has finally commenced again.

This is the opportunity for my Zhongshan Clan to regain our former peak."

Once he finished speaking.

The other Elders finally understood what the era of great contention truly meant.

Contending fiercely!

The rise and fall of races!

"Sect Master, what do you think we should do?"

An Elder suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

The era of great contention is said to be a rare opportunity, but it needs to be grasped; as the other party mentioned, last time, the Zhongshan Clan was the loser.

If they fail again this time, the clan’s strength might suffer great damage.

In severe cases.

Complete annihilation isn’t out of the question.

The Zhongshan Clan, though strong, is still relative, considering the forces across the Heavens Myriad Clans that pose a threat to the Zhongshan Clan are numerous.

Zhongshan Dongxuan calmly stated: "Entering the era of great contention, the primary goal is to compete for the Destiny of the Heavens. With the Heavens’ favor, naturally, one can harness abundant opportunities and blessings, and geniuses within the clan can continuously emerge.

Since the era of great contention has just started, each clan will not easily go to war; the only method to compete for the Destiny of the Heavens is to leave a name on the Divine Mandate Platform.

Next, what our Zhongshan Clan must do is occupy a position on the Divine Mandate Platform."

The Divine Mandate Platform!

It is the gathering point of Destiny for the Heavens, possessing endless mysteries.

Whoever leaves their name upon it is considered an exceptional genius and powerhouse.

Thus,

Once a name is left on the Divine Mandate Platform, it attracts destiny’s favor; not only will the cultivator who leaves their name receive destiny enhancement, allowing them to avert danger and have immense blessings and opportunities.

Even their respective race’s destiny can correspondingly rise.

The rise of a race’s destiny.

Serves as the key to a thriving race.

Thus.

To Zhongshan Dongxuan, the emergence of the Divine Mandate Platform signals the Zhongshan Clan must leave their name upon it.

Only by doing this.

Can they truly participate in the era of great contention.

If they lack even the qualification to leave a name, how can they talk about recovering past glory?

"Those able to leave a name on the Divine Mandate Platform are the strongest in their current realm; I can’t speak for other realms, but among the Divine King Realm, Sect Master is a Divine King with two rules, surely leaving a name on the Divine Mandate Platform poses no problem.
