In the evening, the dimensional portal shimmered again.
Two Asura legions and a Nether Beast legion emerged from the portal.
Black Robe, Ming Ling, and the Asura King, three primordial ancestors, led the troops and were the first to step out.
As the local powers, Di Ku, Di Yao, and the Four Fierce Beasts had already been waiting outside the portal, and the two sides met cordially.
"Little Black Robe, why are the three of you leading this time? Ming Ling is smart enough, that's passable, but you, you can't even do simple addition beyond ten, why are you even here?" Chaos taunted Black Robe.
Black Robe looked at Chaos with a constipated expression. "Greetings, Uncle Grandfather. We're related by blood, you can't talk to me like this as soon as we meet."
Black Robe was born in the early days of the Great Desolation, and his father's generation was from the Chaos clan. Therefore, the Chaos Ancestor, who was born in the late Chaotic Era, was indeed an elder to Black Robe.
Chaos walked to Black Robe's side and slapped him on the back of the head. "What's wrong? Do you think your wings have grown strong after mixing around in the dimensional realm for a few years, and now you dare to talk back to me?"
Black Robe stared at Chaos, utterly bewildered. "Why are you hitting me? Do you think I have a good temper and won't fight back?"
Just as Black Robe was about to glare, he saw Chaos subtly glance around. Realizing no one was paying attention to them, he whispered to Black Robe, "Kid, don't say Uncle Grandfather doesn't look out for you. There's a deal to be made here, be bold and go for it."
Black Robe was stunned and instantly understood Chaos's meaning.
See, it's still your own kin. Even if they haven't met for ten thousand years, their bond is still strong. This Uncle Grandfather of his wasn't called in vain.
As for whether the news was true or false, it wasn't even a consideration for Black Robe. In his opinion, his own Uncle Grandfather wouldn't lie to him.
Besides, he could figure out if it was true or false himself. He just couldn't count, he wasn't actually stupid.
Then, Black Robe said with a smile, "Uncle Grandfather, your grandson hasn't seen you in almost ten thousand years. Why did you hit me as soon as we met?"
Chaos chuckled. This foolish kid was on the right track, calling him grandson already.
"What's wrong? You deserve to be hit. You know it's been over ten thousand years, and you haven't even come to see your Uncle Grandfather. Do you feel wronged being hit?"
"Not wronged, not wronged," Black Robe said, seizing the opportunity.
"Uncle Grandfather, please wait a moment. I brought a local specialty for you, it's in Ming Ling's storage mystic realm. I'll go get it for you now."
Chaos nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he knew clearly that the so-called local specialty was just a trick to fool… no, to fool him.
This little brat knew that Ming Ling was smart and planned to pass the message quickly.
Then, Chaos glanced meaningfully at Di Yao. Di Yao implicitly nodded and said to Di Ku, "Father, the brothers from the dimensional realm have all arrived. We should return to the main tent and host a welcome feast for everyone. Elder Fire Spirit is also here."
Ming Ling, who had already received the news and was about to fetch the specialty, was taken aback. "Good heavens, it seems the news is true. Otherwise, that old ghost Fire Spirit wouldn't have come out."
Everyone followed the host's lead and walked towards the central command tent.
As they approached the entrance, they heard an argument from inside.
"Kid, give me a straight answer. Let our Innate Holy Spirit clan attack this second heavenly pass. If you agree, I owe you a favor. I'll send the Wood Spirit clan's little princess to your house as a concubine."
Everyone was stunned, and then Ming Ling and the others understood that it was the voice of Elder Fire Spirit.
"Hey, you old man are truly shameless. Do you take me for a fool? You want to use the Wood Spirit clan's little princess to repay the favor your Fire Spirit clan owes? What if the Wood Spirit clan disagrees? Who will I find then?" a young and arrogant voice replied.
Black Robe and the others' legs trembled. This t
