This grand phenomena was seen by many people around the Nine Heavens. Even slumbering ancestors woke up to witness this.
"A new era has dawned the world." One powerful ancestor became emotional. Lights illuminate his coffin with crystals as he slowly rised up from it. His eyes glittered with shine as he said, "His Majesty has not forsaken our world. In the end, he still wants to save us."
He knew a thing or two of the recent happenings in the world. It included the movements of a certain person who he revered so much.
The Nine Heavens Will was completed by now. It was displaying its beauty above the clear sky giving light to the world.
"Now that the Nine Heavens Will has appeared here, the old juniors will be enticed and try to get it." The ancestor sighed, "I just hope that they are smart enough not to think about robbing the will. After all, it is already owned by a certain person."
After that, he closed his eyes and returned to his coffin and slumber. He didn't need to watch the upcoming show as he already knew the outcome. It was just a matter of who would be the idiots dying that time, thus he wasn't interested.
Many cultivators were prostating by the appearance of the Nine Heavens Will. It had been several generations since the last one appeared. And now, finally, it was here.
What was the symbol of the Nine Heavens Will? It's the symbol that a Dao Monarch would be born among all people here. As long as they got the will, they were already qualified to call themselves monarchs.
After which, many lineages had started their preparations. Even the top lineages of Nine Heavens wouldn't miss this chance. It was now high time chance for them to produce another Dao Monarch.
Heavenly Void, Askas Buddha Temple, Disaster Sea King... These top lineages had produced more than three monarchs in the past and they were the three who confirmed to participate in the grand battle. As for the other super lineages? They refrained from participating for some unknown reason.
Many normal sects still prepared to join fray, hoping even a little chance to get the will. They were all dreaming of having a monarch in their sects, so though there's a risk, they were to take it.
While everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming take for the Nine Heavens Will, Jin Rou was lazily stretching his arms when resting on Raina's lap. Currently, they were already outside of Glory Sky, as it was already cleared. Fog had taken the treasures inside as per agreement and he had given the item from the Sinister Cold Era.
Jin Rou observed the item in his hands and said, "Good stuff."
Fog didn't comment on it. The item from Sinister Cold Era was something that could easily surpass the most powerful treasures in the world yet it was just a 'good stuff' for the other party.
He sighed and said, "You suddenly opened a new era for cultivators. By now, many are preparing to get the will. What are you going to do?"
Aside from the three behemoth lineages, there were also powerful ones that had declared their participation. The Nine Heavens Will was too enticing that it couldn't go bypassed. Someone had to take it.
"Let them prepare. I'm actually itching for blood. I don't mind using their lives as a nourishment from something I'm cultivating." Jin Rou yawned. Who could get the Nine Heavens Will under his nose? None, unless he permitted them to, they're all just helpless chickens out there.
"Will you get the item or you'll give it to someone?" Fog said. With Han Li's power level, it was easy to take it or hand over the will to a certain person. It wasn't abnormal at all.
"Hmm, the Nine Heavens Will is actually useless to me. I have already devoured many wills that it's no longer effective to me. But it's fun to see people struggle for it. So I guess I'll give it to someone worthy of it." Jin Rou pondered and smiled, "It's nice looking at people who desperately fight for their right."
"Y-Young Master, I want to say something." Ryan uttered. He mustered all his courage to speak.
"Go on." Jin Rou spoke with his eyes closed.
"Is it possible that my older sister be a candidate for monarchy?" Ryan said, he was sweating profusely and quite nervous about this. He was just risking it for the sake of his older sister.
Fog and Raina looked at Ryan with a little surprise. Nevertheless, they didn't stop him.
"Why should she be a candidate?" Jin Rou finally asked after a few minutes.
"Many knew that I'm the most talented, no, the only person with a talent in our clan as of now. However, no one knew that it's not just me. My older sister is as talented as me, too. It's just that we have different mothers thus she was exiled from the clan." Ryan spoke with hurt in his voice. Remembering the bitter past was painful for him even though it happened a long time ago.
It's a personal matter of the clan and something that could bring shame to them. Thus, they suppressed this information and had kept it under wraps. No one had an idea except for a few capable experts regarding this.
"Are you taking about Riyan?" Fog asked. His information network exceeded everyone except Han Li's.
"Yes. Riyan is my older sister. Talent wise and hard work wise, she is the most qualified to be the monarch of this generation. I believe that with Young Master's protection, it's entirely possible." Ryan clenched his fist.
"Talent and hard work aren't enough to become a monarch." Jin Rou shook his head, "Do you know why Dao Monarchs are the apex existence of this world? Because they have eyes to see the bigger picture. They stand at the peak of this world to see everything, on a bigger and more meaningful scale.. Talent and hard work are truly needed to be a monarch, but it isn't all it takes to become one."
