This is unavoidable.
The Hall of Gods is too powerful, with countless Half-step Supremes.
Moreover, the seal key is in their hands, and they can shake the seal at any time, waiting near the spatial gate. As soon as it appears, it can be automatically collected.
Calculating this way, very little essence flows into the hands of others.
Tian Kulou sighed, "Over the years, my Skeleton Society has only obtained three strands. Even the strongest Angelic Holy Society would not accumulate more than ten strands over many years."
"So little?"
"Yes, to step into the Supreme realm, at least one hundred strands of essence are needed."
"So, you want to open the spatial gate."
"That's right."
Tian Kulou nodded heavily, "No one wants to be suppressed forever."
"What about the Dark Church?"
The Dark Church sides with the Hall of Gods. Don't they want to open the spatial gate?
"The Dark Church should have reached some agreement with the Hall of Gods, of course, this is just speculation."
"I see."
So, there's this much information behind the spatial gate.
Thinking of something, Chen Fan asked again, "Does the Hall of Gods have Supremes?"
"Yes."
Tian Kulou was a hundred percent sure about this.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because the three Supremes killed by King Qin back then came from the Hall of Gods."
Tian Kulou revealed the secret of that year: "With the way the Hall of Gods operates, they would never commit all their forces at once. Therefore, the three Supremes were only the ones on the surface. There must be at least one more Supreme in secret."
Supremes.
He never expected that the three Supremes of the past came from the Hall of Gods.
It's just that this time, the opponent didn't send a Supreme.
As if sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Tian Kulou continued, "Supremes cannot easily emerge. Every time a Supreme battle occurs, it will trigger the rules within the spatial gate, further damaging the seal."
"What do you mean by that?"
"The rules of Supremes are sealed behind the spatial gate. Once the power of a Supreme appears in Damilia, it will cause the Supreme rules behind the spatial gate to fluctuate."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Rules, though without will, have instincts. Sealed and separated from this world, how can they be willing?"
Chen Fan nodded again, "It's like Old Demon Chu, suppressed by the Old Saint Emperor. He was confined to one place for a hundred years and must have gone mad."
Being suppressed for a hundred years would drive someone mad. How long have the Supreme rules been sealed?
Judging by the time of Wuji's appearance, it must have been at least thousands of years.
Anyone would go crazy.
The two continued to talk, chatting for a long time.
Tian Kulou took his leave.
He came here precisely to inform Chen Fan that they were on the same side.
Other matters were just secondary.
Not long after Tian Kulou left, people from the Monster Beast Legion arrived.
It was the old acquaintance Geli.
"City Lord."
Geli smiled, "By order of Madam, I have come to visit the City Lord."
"Is there something?"
Chen Fan asked with a smile, "If there's something, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush."
"The City Lord is indeed straightforward."
Geli cut to the chase, "The Hall of Gods approached the Monster Beast Legion and promised countless benefits, hoping the Monster Beast Legion would send troops to the Eastern Domain and draw away the combat power of Wenlan City."
Chen Fan was not surprised that the Hall of Gods had contacted the Monster Beast Legion.
Perhaps the other party had also approached the Skeleton Society, but it was likely rejected.
Furthermore, since Wusheng lived within the Skeleton Society's territory, their support for Old Demon was unquestionable.
After hearing Geli's words, Chen Fan asked, "How did the Monster Beast Legion choose?"
"We're looking to the City Lord."
Geli smiled, "My Madam's intention is, which side does the City Lord wish us to stand on?"
The Monster Beast Legion had already received news of the Hall of Gods sending troops to Wenlan City.
Chen Fan smiled indifferently, "The Monster Beast Legion has its own will. How can Wenlan City decide for the Monster Beast Legion?"
"We can."
Geli nodded affirmatively, "My Madam said that the Hall of Gods is not trustworthy, but the City Lord is. However, in terms of combat power, the strength of the Hall of Gods is despairing. Therefore, Madam sent me to ask the City Lord, if a Supreme from the Hall of Gods appears, can the City Lord stop them?"
The crucial point had arrived.
The Monster Beast Legion needed to know Chen Fan's trump card.
It took great courage to oppose a powerful force like the Hall of Gods, which had existed for countless years and was filled with Half-step Supremes.
Chen Fan did not answer immediately, tapping his fingers on the table, "What if there is?"
"Then the Monster Beast Legion will decisively stand with the City Lord."
Everyone wants to advance their cultivation.
"What if there isn't?" Chen Fan asked again.
Geli, without a moment's hesitation, smiled, "Are you willing to stand with the City Lord?"
"..."
This time, it was Chen Fan's turn to be speechless.
What did that mean?
With such a confident answer, why even ask?
Geli stood up, cupped his fists, "Geli bids farewell."
"..., You are welcome."
Geli left, but Chen Fan was left with a head full of questions.
...
Amidst the clouds, an airplane flew rapidly towards the Southern Domain.
On the plane, Geli sipped his red wine, gazing at the empty scenery outside the window.
"Legion Commander."
Beside him, a woman who had been accompanying Geli asked doubtfully, "When you came, Madam did not give the order like this."
According to Madam's wishes, if Chen Fan's side lacked the combat power to contend with a Supreme, the Monster Beast Legion might have chosen the Hall of Gods.
Although not explicitly stated, this was the implication.
And Geli's words just now clearly deviated from Madam's intentions.
*Smooch.*
Geli kissed the beauty beside him and laughed, "What do you understand?"
Seeing this, the beauty immediately whimpered twice and threw herself into Geli's arms, "Then tell your humble servant."
Coquetry was the most effective tactic.
Geli chuckled, "Do you remember the conversation I just had with City Lord Chen?"
"I remember."
She had been by Geli's side during the conversation.
"Then do you remember Chen Fan's expression when I mentioned Supremes?" Geli asked again.
The beauty thought for a moment and shook her head.
She hadn't paid attention to his expression, but what could that signify?
"Stupid."
Geli tapped the beauty's forehead and laughed, "When I mentioned the word Supreme, Chen Fan didn't show any fear. What does that tell you? It means he already knew about the existence of Supremes in the Hall of Gods."
"And then?"
The beauty was still confused.
"Sigh."
Geli rubbed his temples with a headache. This girl was too slow.
"If it were the Monster Beast Legion, upon learning that the enemy had a Supreme as a backer, how would the Monster Beast Legion react?"
"Fear."
"Exactly."
Geli snapped his fingers, "Supremes, almost impossible figures. The Hall of Gods has Supremes, but look at City Lord Chen, does he show any fear?"
The beauty suddenly realized, "Could it be that Wenlan City also has a Supreme behind it?"
"Sigh."
This slowness made Geli almost not want to speak.
If Wenlan City had a Supreme behind it, given his personality, he would have attacked the Hall of Gods long ago.
Therefore, even if Wenlan City didn't have a Supreme, it must have a power behind it capable of rivaling a Supreme.
