Ye Xiao stored the bodies of the supreme divine beasts that he had killed into his spatial ring and waited for a backup before descending.
He used the Secret of Eternal Life technique to quickly heal the injuries of the two Emperor realm seniors.
The terror of the god-healing technique was fully displayed. The injuries on the two people's bodies were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Emperor Jing and Emperor Yun had just seen the terror of Ye Xiao. Then, they had personally experienced it so they felt even more terrified.
"Senior Azure Dragon, please introduce us."
"Okay."
Azure Dragon nodded and immediately introduced the three people,
"Ye Xiao, these two are the Nine Provinces' human race, the Emperor realm martial arts experts in the space battlefield. This is Emperor Jing, Senior Zhu, and this is Emperor Yun, Senior Xuan.
"In the past few hundred years, it has been the two of them who have been protecting the human race in the space battlefield."
Ye Xiao nodded.
"I've long heard of the great names of these two seniors. Seeing them today, I feel extremely honored."
The two of them said shamefully,
"Not at all. In front of your performance today, the two of us are really not worth mentioning."
The Azure Dragon smiled and immediately said,
"His performance is not just this.
"When the Beast Calamity descended, all the humans in the world, except for the Nine Provinces, were basically gone. If it were not for him, the Nine Provinces would have been completely wiped out.
"It was precisely because of the array that he set up that all the humans in the Nine Provinces were protected.
"Later, he even untied the Emperor Spirit Stele and let the successive emperors turn into dragon energy to re-activate the dragon vein. He activated the Great Wall Array and guarded the National Gate alone, making it impossible for the star beasts to cross the lightning pool.
"In the Nine Provinces, because of him, not a single person was injured this time.
"Most importantly, he's only 21 years old this year."
Boom!
That introduction caused the heads of the two of them to instantly shake as if a huge bomb had been thrown down.
That caused the two Emperor realm martial arts experts to be filled with respect, and their expressions became much more serious.
"Good kid, you really opened the eyes of us two old men today."
Ye Xiao said indifferently,
"In the face of danger, the people of the Nine Provinces should naturally contribute. If it were someone else who had my strength, I think he would definitely do these things."
"But that person just had to be someone else, so you don't have to be humble. Even the two of us could not think of any way and thought that the Nine Provinces might really be finished. Who would have thought that in the end, there would actually be a great hero like you?
"It could also be said that the heavens did not destroy the Nine Provinces.
"More importantly, you actually fulfilled the dreams of the people of the Nine Provinces for generations. You unlocked the Emperor Spirit Stele and obtained the inheritance of your ancestors.
"It really makes us, the Emperor realm martial arts experts, pale in comparison.
"No wonder you're so strong!"
Ye Xiao smiled helplessly. Flattering him like that made him feel that it was a little too much.
In fact, he felt that from the beginning until then, cultivating for more than a year, there did not seem to be any big storms and waves. He just passed by like that.
He did not expect that in the eyes of others, he would be taken so seriously.
After a pause, Emperor Yun spoke again,
"But now is not the time to be happy. There is still an even more important thing that has not been done."
The Azure Dragon and Ye Xiao looked at him with some doubt. Emperor Jing said,
"To be precise, there are two things. The first thing is that the western Emperor Wolf, the southern Emperor Vajra, and Emperor Thunder all self-destructed their own blood essence and spiritual energy to attract the three god clans behind them to come and take revenge."
Ye Xiao was stunned and said in puzzlement,
"This logic doesn't seem quite right, right? Since they can summon the god clan behind them by self-destructing, why didn't they do so in the beginning?
"If they directly summoned the god clan behind them from the beginning, no matter how many star beasts there are, it wouldn't be able to pose any threat to them, right?"
Emperor Jing shook his head.
"It's not like that. The humans of this world, apart from us Xuan Yuan descendants, have all been exiled here because they violated the clan rules.
"The reason why we Xuan Yuan descendants don't want to summon the Xuan Yuan god clan behind us is that we're afraid that the god race will take away the mystery that our ancestors discovered.
"That mystery was something that their ancestors had searched the entire universe and found with great difficulty.
"If their stronger Xuan Yuan god clan compatriots were to be taken away, it would be the regret of their ancestors for the rest of their lives.
"As for the other humans, because they were exiled, they had no way of summoning the god clan behind them. Moreover, even if they were to summon them, the other party would not come over.
"But now, the other humans had all been exterminated by the star beasts. The divine blood had been extracted, so the nature of this matter was different.
"This was a taboo among the gods, so this time, their ancestor would definitely come.
"Of course, it wasn't necessarily to avenge them. Those gods might just want to gain some face or some benefits."
Emperor Yun continued and said,
"The biggest problem is that in the starry skies, the law of the jungle must be followed.
"If those few god clansmen really descend and they see that the other races have already perished and only us are left, it's very difficult to guarantee that they won't shift their anger onto us.
"At that time, forget about fulfilling our ancestors' dying wish, we'll already be thankful that we can withstand the attacks of the other gods."
Ye Xiao's face turned grave.
The other side is right, although he is now very strong, and also has several imperial skills.
At that point, he is still not the true God of the strong!
Emperor Jing spoke again,
"In fact, even if you don't think about those gods, just talk about those star beasts.
"Their numbers are increasing year by year, and their strong practitioners are getting stronger year by year. There might be other strong practitioners who are also gods controlling them.
"The descendants of the Nine Province's Xuan Yuan are already meat on the chopping board.
"We have already reached an extremely critical moment."
Azure Dragon said with a solemn expression,
"But if this is the case, what if the other Xuan Yuan god clan comes and wants to snatch away the secret that our ancestors have found?"
Emperor Yun took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression,
"There's no other way. We can only gamble now. We have to gamble that the gods of the Xuan Yuan god clan who have been summoned will not discover that secret so quickly.
"At the very least, we have to let the Nine Province's humans survive this crisis."
The mood of those people was extremely heavy.
That was because even if they were certain that they had to summon someone, there was still a very serious problem.
That was... Who would complete the summoning?
From the current situation, the summoning was not something that could be summoned just like that. It was very likely that behind it was the self-sacrifice of an Emperor realm martial arts expert.
That was also the most important issue.
"What if we lose the bet?"
The Azure Dragon said quietly. For a moment, the air was a little dull.
Emperor Yun smiled helplessly.
"Azure Dragon, you should give me some face."
The Azure Dragon said with a solemn expression,
"This matter concerns the descendants of Xuan Yuan, the thousands of years of hard work, and the precious treasures that the ancestors of the Nine Provinces' human race have painstakingly left for us.
"We can't afford to gamble, nor can we afford to lose."
Emperor Yun took a deep breath and spoke once again,
"Good! Since you insist on an answer, then I'll tell you.
"The answer is him!"
Emperor Yun pointed at Ye Xiao.
"He obtained the inheritance of the Emperor Spirit Stele, which means that he obtained the ancestor's inheritance! I want to place all my bets on him. I bet that he will be able to find the ancestor's inheritance.
"I bet that he will be able to carry forward the ancestor's last wish and become a famous person in the Xuan Yuan god clan!"
Ye Xiao's expression was solemn as he said,
"Senior Xuan, you must not. This responsibility is too great. I'm afraid that I can't bear it."
Emperor Yun laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha... It's fine! You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, things have already come to this point and everything has already been set in stone. Even if we don't consider the secrets left behind by the ancestor, we still have to consider letting the Nine Provinces' human race live on.
"Regardless of whether we face the star beasts or the other god clans, if we don't have the protection of the corresponding experts and let Ye Xiao obtain a time and opportunity to grow, then we will really lose!"
Pausing for a moment, he put away his smile.
"5,000 years ago, in order for the Xuan Yuan human race's ancestors to let us, his descendants, no longer be mediocre and continue to be the lowest level of the Xuan Yuan god clan, they were driven by others to roam the starry sky and explore countless small worlds. In the end, they found a land of treasures in this world.
"Today, I, Xuan, have been worshipping the Nine Provinces' human race. What's there to regret if I sacrifice my life?
"Isn't this the secret of the Xuan Yuan human race, which has prospered to this day and continues to prosper?"
Emperor Jing patted Emperor Yun on the shoulder and said,
"Emperor Yun, if you want to do this, it should be me. I have lived longer than you and have lived long enough. It's not a pity to die. You have only lived for 300 years. You should persevere."
Emperor Yun shook his head.
"It's precisely because of this that you should live on. You are older and wiser than me一similarly, your cultivation is also higher than mine.
"Who knows what the Xuan Yuan god clan that was summoned will do to this world? It's also uncertain what it will do to us, the descendants of the Xuan Yuan descendants.
"You have to stay and protect them. Your strength is also more suitable than mine to protect this child."
Emperor Yun looked at Ye Xiao with a trace of concern in his eyes.
"It's great to be young. Back then, my grandson was the same age as you, but he didn't have such heaven-defying talent as you. His cultivation only advanced to the lesser King realm, and in the end, he was killed by the star beast!
"I hope that you can walk a different path in the future. You're worthy of the human race's past generations of perseverance and hard work.
"I hope that your eyes will forever contain the stars, and your state of mind will be like the Sun and the Moon. Your cultivation will be able to hold up the heavens and the earth, and no one will be able to compare to you!"
As he finished speaking, he took out a jade seal. It was the imperial jade seal that had been passed down for generations in the Nine Provinces.
He looked at the imperial jade seal with great emotion. Emperor Yun threw it to Ye Xiao and then looked at the Nine Provinces with reluctance. His body began to slowly emit a golden light.
"Farewell, my people, my compatriots, and my beloved land.... If there is a next life, I am willing to entrust my homeland to enter the Nine Provinces and become a descendant of Xuan Yuan!"
