"I'm sorry, I forgot about the rules in a moment of panic." Xiao Ya bowed as she apologized to Jiang Chen and the branch directors. Then, Jiang Chen asked her, "It's rare to see you lose your composure like this. Tell me, what happened?"
It could be seen that he wouldn't hold Xiao Ya accountable.
Xiao Ya looked at everyone as she said with a dark expression, "Directors, I just received news from the Space Administration that…" Xiao Ya raised her head and looked straight at Jiang Chen. She couldn't hide her shock as she said," The Doomsday Battlefield broke free from the supervision of the Space Administration. Now, its whereabouts are unknown! "
Back then, after Jiang Chen discovered the Doomsday Battlefield that was wandering aimlessly in the universe, he joined forces with the other branch directors to capture it. Then, he used the spiritual power of all the directors to lock it in the middle of the few super Great Worlds and set it up as a battlefield.
The Doomsday Battlefield was a dead world to begin with.
It should not have escaped the supervision of the Space Administration.
Unless…
Jiang Chen lamented, "Could it be that the Great Dao has already begun its plan to destroy the three thousand worlds, and the Doomsday Battlefield is the first world chosen by the Great Dao?"
Upon hearing this, all the branch directors present became heavy-hearted.
If the Great Dao really carried out its destruction plan, the three thousand worlds would have disappeared before the ten-year deadline arrived.
"Not necessarily…" Suddenly, Si Cheng stood up.
Everyone looked at Si Cheng.
Prime Emperor Jiang Chen asked him, "Prime Emperor Si Cheng, do you have a different opinion?"
"Everyone, you guys don't know." Only then did Si Cheng tell them about Song Ji's Divine Master Creation Plan. "Five years ago, my Grand Mentor, Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, formulated a Divine Master Creation Plan. He used the power of all the divine artifacts to refine a Divine Gathering Shield and decided to send the person with the highest chance of becoming a Divine Master into the Divine Gathering Shield to help him absorb the divine power and become a god as soon as possible. This person must successfully obtain the divine power. Everyone knows that the Doomsday Battlefield is an independent world refined by the last crown prince of the Dragon Race, Yu Aofeng. The Beast Tamer Sheng Xiao, who ascended to the Cang Lang Continent from the Holy Spirit Continent, is the reincarnation of Yu Aofeng. Moreover, Sheng Xiao has long comprehended divine power."
"In the past 18,000 years, Yu Aofeng was the only Beast Tamer who almost became a Divine Master. He was the most suitable candidate among many people. So, five years ago, Sheng Xiao carried the heavy responsibility of saving the commoners and entered the dangerous Divine Gathering Shield."
"So I'm thinking that the sudden disappearance of the Doomsday Battlefield might not be because it was destroyed by the Great Dao. It might also be…" Si Cheng actually didn't dare to say that possibility.
Divine Master!
It had been many years since a Divine Master had appeared in the three thousand worlds.
Would Sheng Xiao really become the person to break the curse?
After understanding Si Cheng's hint, all the directors present felt their breathing become heavy. Even Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with shock. "We only need to go to the inner academy to take a look, then we'll know the truth."
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up and said decisively, "Everyone, follow me to the inner academy to investigate the situation!"
"Alright!"
* *
Cang Lang Academy, inner academy.
The Divine Gathering Shield, which had been silent for five years, was vibrating today.
The Divine Gathering Shield had long become the most eye-catching existence in the inner academy. When they discovered the changes in the Divine Gathering Shield, the professor in charge of guarding the Divine Gathering Shield immediately gathered all the Prime Master professors in the school. Coincidentally, Jing Rujiu had also returned from her training. When she received the news, she also went to the cultivation area.
Jing Rujiu and the anthropomorphic pine puppet stood on a hill as they stared at the Divine Gathering Shield nervously with many other professors.
When Jing Rujiu had just entered the inner academy two years ago, she heard Yu Huang explain the origin of the Divine Gathering Shield and found out that her son-in-law was in seclusion in the Divine Gathering Shield. Jing Rujiu was more concerned about the changes in the Divine Gathering Shield than any professor. She was afraid that something would happen to the man called Sheng Xiao.
Jing Rujiu hoped that Yu Huang could inherit all the outstanding genes in her body, but she didn't expect Yu Huang to inherit her widowhood genes.
"The Divine Gathering Shield has never had such a strong reaction like today." Professor Ekel took off his reading glasses and stared at the divine artifact under the Divine Gathering Shield with a serious expression as he said worriedly, "Did you guys notice? The energy of those divine artifacts seems to be about to completely disappear. Could it be that the divine artifact's energy is not enough to support the Divine Gathering Shield anymore and is about to collapse?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Tang Xiaoxiao also had a worried expression. "If it's really as Professor Ekel analyzed, won't Sheng Xiao be in danger?"
As they spoke, they looked at Jing Rujiu uneasily.
To them, Sheng Xiao was just a student from the inner academy and a young genius that they admired. However, to Professor Jing Rujiu, he was her son-in-law!
"Professor Jing, the dean and Prime Emperor Divine Miracle are out because of something. Yu Huang is in seclusion. You are Sheng Xiao's family. What should we do? Should we wait and see, or interfere?"
"What do you mean by wait and see?" Jing Rujiu sneered. "The so-called wait and see is just an excuse to avoid trouble." After being rebuked by Jing Rujiu, Professor Ekel smiled awkwardly. "You're still as sharp-tongued as ever."
"I've always been like this." Jing Rujiu made a prompt decision and said, "Professors, we have to mobilize our spiritual energy to reinforce this Divine Gathering Shield immediately and try our best to hold on until Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and the others return."
"That's right. Everyone, work together!"
Under Jing Rujiu's command, all the professors in the inner academy with Prime Master cultivation levels flew towards the Divine Gathering Shield. Then, they immediately mobilized all the spiritual energy in their bodies and injected spiritual energy into the divine artifact under the Divine Gathering Shield. However, they discovered that their energy couldn't be injected into it!
"What exactly is going on?" Jing Rujiu was shocked and her charming face was filled with confusion. "Why can't the divine artifact accept our power?"
Tang Xiaoxiao said with a frown, "Could it be that the divine artifact has completely fallen into a dormant state?"
"Then, Sheng Xiao…" Jing Rujiu was about to say that if the divine artifact was asleep, what should Sheng Xiao, who was still locked in the Divine Gathering Shield, do?
At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud crack.
"Oh no!"
"The Divine Gathering Shield shattered!"
The Divine Gathering Shield was a level-nine Spirit Tool, and it was Master Duan Fen's proudest creation, but it actually shattered?
"Could it be that Sheng Xiao has…" Died inside?
Professor Ekel noticed that Jing Rujiu's expression was cold, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Suddenly, a dignified beast roar sounded from the space deep in the Divine Gathering Shield. When the beast roar sounded, everyone realized that the hair on their bodies had stood on end and their souls ached violently.
At the same time, the blood flow in their bodies slowed down.
A terrifying spiritual energy that had never appeared before rushed out of the Divine Gathering Shield. That energy broke through the sky above the inner academy and quickly spread towards the three thousand worlds with the inner academy as the center.
"Roar!"
That dragon's roar exploded in everyone's ears and everyone in the inner academy knelt on the ground uncontrollably.
Even Prime Emperor Jing Rujiu had no choice but to submit to this divine pressure.
As they knelt on the ground, they saw a black shadow quickly crawl out of the Divine Gathering Shield. The black shadow turned into a huge dragon covered in black scales. Then, the dragon broke through the barrier above the inner academy and rushed out of the clouds.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, something seemed to have appeared in the depths of the universe.
After Jing Rujiu and the others slowly raised their heads and looked into the sky, they discovered that a new… world had appeared in the clouds above the inner academy. A continent in the shape of a dragon was floating between the inner academy and space. It was so huge that no one could see its full appearance.
At this moment, the staff of the time and space alley of the various worlds' Ascension Town suddenly discovered an additional door in the long alley of time and space. That door looked different from the other time and space doors. This was because the door was lit with a golden light, and on the door, the words "Eternal" were written.
"This…"
At the same time, in the three thousand worlds, other than the Holy Spirit Continent and the Kunlun Continent, which had lost connection with the Great Dao, the other worlds actually heard the sound of drumbeats.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
It was a war drum that they had never heard before. The drumbeat was heavy and passionate, as if a Divine Master was beating the drums.
The Divine Drum sounded and the God of War returned. That was the music of a Divine Master.
The war drum reverberated in the ears of every living being.
At this moment, be it the demon beasts, the Divine Beast Clan, the humans, or other high-level intelligent clansmen, they all looked up at the sky. They seemed to be searching for where the drumbeat came from, but also seemed to be looking forward to something.
The drumbeat rang nine times before it stopped completely.
Immediately after, a benevolent and holy ethereal voice sounded in the three thousand worlds—
"The Eternal Divine Pagoda has returned. Welcome, Sky Dragon Divine Master, to the three thousand worlds!"
Splash!
In an instant, all the living beings in the three thousand worlds were shocked.
After the Eternal Divine Pagoda returned, the Sky Dragon Divine Master returned to the three thousand worlds. Was a new Divine Master finally born in the three thousand worlds?
