Chapter 285: The Great Era (2)

As the saying went, where there were people, there would be the world of martial arts.

This saying was also applicable to the Eternal Clan.

As the acknowledged top clan of the world, the Eternal Clan had the most powerful deities, the most Ancient Realm experts, the largest population, the most extensive and fertile land, and the most powerful apparent strength and war potential.

However, as a super-clane with an innumerable population, the Aeonians were not united.

Even among the deities of the Eternal Clan, there were factions.

The most typical examples were the two ancient deities of the Eternal Clan who openly had conflicts.

The Military Commander, Yuan, and the Director of the Sky Monitoring Bureau, Tong.

The two of them were both deities of the Eternal Clan, but due to various factors, they did not see eye to eye. The conflict between the two of them had lasted for countless ages. And they did not need to have a life-and-death feud; if one of them had a chance to take advantage, he certainly would not miss it.

Today, at the Eternal Clan’s Pantheon of Gods Mountain, during the Divine Assembly, Yuan’s shout was somewhat deafening.

“I object!”

“I firmly oppose the expansion of the Sky Monitoring Bureau!!”

At this moment, Yuan was sitting on the second left-hand side in the Divine Assembly Hall, facing Tong, who was on the second seat on the right opposite him. He puffed out his cheeks and glared at Tong.

After glaring fiercely at Tong, Yuan stood up and spoke loudly.

“In my opinion, the Sky Monitoring Bureau shouldn’t exist!”

“From the beginning, 1 couldn’t understand the meaning of the existence of the Sky Monitoring Bureau.”

“Yes, our Eternal Clan is the most powerful, but does the most powerful have an obligation to take on everything? Is that the case?”

“If it’s about managing our internal affairs, 1 definitely won’t object. Instead, 1’11 strongly support it.”

“But now, the Sky Monitoring Bureau’s influence has grown too long… far too long…”

“You meddled in the internal affairs of other clans and caused our Eternal Clan to make enemies everywhere. Not to mention distant matters, even in recent history… the Three Clans War and the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, what does it have to do with us?

After saying this, Yuan raised an eyebrow at Tong, showing his dissatisfaction.

“In conclusion, not only do 1 not support the expansion of the Sky Monitoring Bureau, 1 also want to initiate a vote! 1 absolutely won’t allow the Sky Monitoring Bureau to continue squandering the resources of our Eternal Clan!

1 want to disband the entire Sky Monitoring Bureau!”

The deities of the Eternal Clan below yawned in boredom.

The clash between Yuan and Tong was basically a reserved program at the Divine Assembly.

These two fellows were ancient and powerful and they did not see eye to eye with each other.

As the two deities ranked in the top ten of the Eternal Clan, few could interject into their argument, and few were willing to openly take sides.

Therefore, the final outcome of the argument between the two of them would ultimately end in a draw – both sides would compromise, make things smooth, and consider the matter settled.

At this moment, in the face of Yuan’s aggressiveness, Tong did not even lift an eyelid.

This hunched old man, who looked to be less than 1.5 meters tall, seemed to have dozed off in public.

This made Yuan furious once again. He slammed the table and was about to roar when he suddenly sensed a shadow flash across the highest, central seat of the Divine Assembly Hall.

Yuan immediately restrained his expression and looked over respectfully in that direction.

Even the other deities of the Eternal Clan rose from their seats.

These supreme beings all bowed their heads in unison and uttered six words in perfect harmony.

“Greetings to the God of Eternity.”

“Mm—”

A faint voice came from the enormous main seat.

With the gradual clarity of the light and shadow, the person on the main seat revealed his true appearance.

He was a young lad with rosy lips and white teeth.

He appeared to be around 13 or 14 years old, with the characteristic silver-white hair of the Eternal Clan.

His eyes sparkled with a golden light, even without displaying any aura, they could make people involuntarily lower their heads and willingly defer to him.

His name was Eternity.

The first deity of the Eternal Clan, and the guardian deity of the Aeonians!

The rise of every super clan was a legend!

The most typical ones were the Corpse God and the Corpse Clan.

It was precisely because of the appearance of the Corpse God that the Corpse Clan was able to rise against the tide, and the Corpse God became the guardian deity of the Corpse Clan.

It was the same for the Eternal Clan.

This currently most powerful clan undoubtedly rose from obscurity.

After the Eternal God appeared, the Eternal Clan could continue to develop and strengthen until it reached its current status.

Within the Eternal Clan, the name of the Eternal God was well-known.

The strongest god, the god among gods, the representative of the supreme god, the transcendent one, the observer of the world!

There were countless titles that could not even indirectly reveal the strength and status of the Eternal God!

The moment the Eternal God appeared, Yuan immediately looked down and remained silent.

However, there was an imperceptible doubt in his heart.

“Eternity, why are you here?”

The Divine Assembly was the highest authority meeting of the Aeonians. At this meeting, the deities of the Aeonians would decide on matters related to the Aeonians.

The standard of the meeting was obviously very high.

However, Eternity’s position and status were clear—he rarely appeared on such occasions, just like the owners of the two seats above Yuan and Tong.

Their strength, status, and character determined that they had no need to concern themselves with such mundane matters.

After all, as long as they did not fall, the Eternal Clan would never fall!

This was the true meaning of the guardian deity.

After a brief silence, the deity named Eternity slowly spoke.

“Let’s approve the expansion of the Sky Monitoring Bureau.”

Yuan immediately nodded and said, “Alright.”

“And apart from that, there’s another matter.”

Everyone listened respectfully, and Eternity’s voice rang out once again, “The Tribulation Transcenders, this generation of Tribulation Transcenders has been born for over a year now.”

“By our calculations, within five years, this generation of Tribulation Transcenders will fully enter the Black Mist Zone. And when that time comes, it will be the day when the Heaven Ascension Stairs open.”

“I hope everyone can pay more attention to this upcoming Heaven Ascension Stairs…”

As for why they should pay attention and what the reasons were, Eternity did not say.

He simply turned to look at Tong and said, “I’ll leave this matter to the Sky Monitoring Bureau, is that okay?”

Tong, no longer looking drowsy, nodded energetically and said, “Yes.”

Eternity gave a slight nod and said, “As for all other matters, handle them as the situation requires.”

With that, Eternity’s figure had already disappeared without a trace.

After a brief silence, the atmosphere of the Divine Assembly Hall on the Pantheon of Gods Mountain relaxed again.

Yuan had lost interest in arguing with Tong and simply sat with his arms crossed, lost in deep thought.

Vaguely, he recalled what the Corpse God had once told him.

“This era will determine success or failure.”

As if he had realized something, Yuan’s gaze gradually became more profound.

“Eternity has also realized it…”

Thinking of this, Yuan suddenly sneered.

“Heli…”

“After all, it’s Eternity. It’s not surprising if he’s realized something..”
