CHAPTER 33: END OF THE GRAND MEETING

As everyone digested the cultivator's words, they got stuck again as none from the sea race or the mermaid clan had attended the meeting, and they didn't know who to contact now.

As they were in a dilemma the conference door opened and an old man with tattered clothes entered the room.

Everyone checked him up and down with doubt.

If anyone sees him in the city with such clothes, they might think him of beggar, but no one underestimates him as he excludes the pressure of transcendental peak power.

He slowly walks with a stick as support and reaches next to the heaven sword which was standing at the center of the conference.

As the old man reached the center, the heavenly sword master extended his hand to welcome him and asked who he was.

The old man laughed heartily and spoke" Weren't you discussing my sect now and banging heads about how to contact us?

Everyone was astonished by his identity and several masters stood up in excitement as he might solve their dilemma.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm an elder of the divine sect, I was originally a poor farmer boy in the eastern wilderness, but the mermaid royal family divined about top talents in the human race who were not found by any sect and secretly kidnapped them and recruited them as disciples to divine sect." he introduced himself as one of them.

"A hundred years ago foreign races visited the mermaid and sea race and invited them to join their plan, to which mermaids and other sea clans have agreed, our divine sect was established by the sea clan, so my sect leader who is also from the mermaid royal prince calculated and concluded that the world will lose the war with the foreign races and happily joined them, but the other races who were in the sect heavily objected and later we were suppressed in mermaid royal jail." 

"A month ago, the heavenly punishment had killed 6 tribulation transcendences in the sea clan and the mermaid clan gathered all the royal family and escaped this plane with the help of the foreign enemies."

We divine sect members also escaped while they were in the confusion and reached this city after hearing about the meeting.

As everyone digested the information, the old man spoke again with a serious tone.

"Now let's speak about the questions that you have raised."

The first question has been answered so I won't dwell on the question.

And you don't have to search for them as they have all escaped from this world.

Now let's look at the second, third, and fourth questions.

The old man organized his words and looked at everyone's faces who was tense with trepidation and spoke.

" The upper realm has fallen" he blasted a huge bomb in the conference.

Everyone in the conference and the people who were watching the conference were petrified with shock on their faces after hearing his words.

"Everyone who ascended and found a clan in the upper realm has lost the war against the foreign forces and retreated to the other heavens in the void."

"The foreign forces later killed the natives who have supported them."

"Originally the war would have gone for about a million years but your ancestors for some reason decisively left the Upper realm and evacuated into the void in search of another world."

"The heavenly dao left the upper realm and retreated to the lower realm, which is this world."

"The arrival of heavenly Dao has led the huge changes in the world which we have seen a month ago."

"And the spiritual energy won't be decreasing as we speak it will increase but it will take time."

"The heavenly dao won't treat anyone partially, so you don't have to doubt you are sidelined."

The newly emerged continents will be safeguarded by the heavens for a century, after which the shields will be lifted. Subsequently, one must wait another hundred years to encounter the inhabitants of these continents.

"Don't waste your time and cultivate hard or else you might get overtaken by the newly emerged continent beings.

"So, increase your strength and help the world and you will prosper, and going against the trend leads to your demise."

"Now, all you have to do is practice and increase your strength to be useful to the world when needed."

"Someone who is at the peak of tribulation should have already guessed it because there is another realm present after the tribulation realm with the arrival of heavenly dao."

"And we divined that the realm is called Mahanay realm and someone in this world has quietly crossed and reached the realm in our world, so we are sure of it."

Everyone digested the old man's words and the conference which had been silent until now became noisy within seconds.

"Your ancestors might have received the revelations from the heavenly dao so they wouldn't have evacuated with such decisiveness."

"And they might possess the coordinates of the world, allowing them to seek refuge in another realm. Thus, they may avoid getting lost in the void, provided they can reach the destination safely while navigating various dangers. If successful, you might encounter them once more."

"so, all you can do is practice and wait for the world to settle." The old man continued.

"My name is white, I will now settle on the human continent after selecting a place to establish a sect, and you don't have to worry we will fight for resources as our cultivation doesn't depend on resources and anyone can come and visit our sect after our sect is established if you want to divine about yourself, or your race, but divining cost a fee as we have some operational costs too so don't come empty-handed." The old man advertised about himself and his sect and left the room.

The heavenly sword also concluded the meeting and ran after the old man to speak with him and others followed him.

As he reached outside heavenly sword saw the old man standing stiffly in an open place and raised his head and watching the sky intently."

"He too raised his head and saw golden flowers start raining onto the city and the cultivators who have come to participate in the conference." 

The old man murmured in shock after seeing the golden flowers" Heavenly merit"

"As the organizer of the event most of the merit were gathered on the sky sword sect and city lord disciples and masters."

The heavenly sword felt his realm barrier to the Mahanay realm has loosened and he greeted his deputy while handling all the affairs and went back to the sect for retreat.

The old man too got substantial merit for clearing everyone's doubt, he laughed in happiness as the merit had increased his lifespan a lot longer and his cultivation to increasing slowly, so he left the city to search for a place to practice and reach the higher realm."

"Other races also have left the city after getting their merits."

Thus, concluded the eight continents
