Chapter 86

After the veiled woman and others led Ye Tianming and the rest into the spacetime tunnel, including the veiled woman, all the Divine Guard Army members had an unprecedentedly serious expression.

They were very clear about what they were doing now. Their current actions were undoubtedly an invasion of the Guanxuan Universe, equivalent to declaring war on the Guanxuan Universe.

The Guanxuan Universe!

Since the Guanxuan Sword Master led numerous civilizations in the Ascension War, the Guanxuan Universe had undoubtedly become the superpower of the entire universe. Although the Guanxuan Sword Master had retired, he was not dead. Therefore, opposing the Guanxuan Universe was undoubtedly a very, very risky move.

The commander of the Divine Guard Army was named Zhou Yuan. At this moment, his expression was serious, with worry deep in his eyes. He was well aware of the terror of the Guanxuan Universe. He was not only worried about whether they could survive and leave the Guanxuan Universe but also about the ancient civilization, as this could very likely trigger a civilization war!

If a civilization war were to break out, many, many people would die. Most importantly, although the ancient civilization was strong, the Guanxuan Universe was even stronger! Moreover, the Guanxuan Universe had two behemoths, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and the Sword Sect...

At this moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly received a message in his mind. Soon, his face turned extremely grim. He had received the news that all the super families and sects of the Guanxuan Universe had already begun to encircle and kill them.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Ye Tianming, who was standing silently beside him. He appeared next to the veiled woman and whispered, "Princess Qi..."

The veiled woman's name was Nan Tianqi, the daughter of the ancient civilization's leader and the most powerful contender for the position of young lord in the ancient civilization. In the ancient civilization, she held a very high status and wielded great power, rivaling the current first genius, Nan Tianshi.

Nan Tianqi's face was expressionless, her gaze calm, but she was also very clear about their current situation. Moreover, she saw further than Zhou Yuan. She knew that the biggest problem now was the attitude of the ancient civilization. If the ancient civilization did not want to conflict with the Guanxuan Universe, then they would all become sacrifices.

Would the ancient civilization dare to wage war against the Guanxuan Universe?

Dare they?

Nan Tianqi slowly closed her eyes. She was not sure, after all, she was not the leader of the ancient civilization. Moreover, the ancient civilization had many factions, especially her biggest competitor, Nan Tianshi, the most monstrous genius in the history of the ancient civilization.

If he stood against her at this moment, Nan Tianqi would have no place to hide!

Waging war against the Guanxuan Universe...

Looking at the entire universe, except for the unknown True World, who in the universe would dare?

After all, the Guanxuan Sword Master was too powerful back then!

And the Yang family... the top elders of the Yang family, any one of them could tear through the entire universe!

She originally thought of forcibly rescuing Ye Tianming, at most offending the Guanxuan Universe, but not to the extent of a civilization war. She did not expect things to escalate to this point... the Guanxuan Universe was determined to kill Ye Tianming at all costs.

Nan Tianqi softly said, "Wait."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly. He did not think too much. As a soldier, obeying orders was his duty. Although he did not understand why the legendary Princess Qi, known for her wisdom, would oppose the Guanxuan Universe for this young man, he knew that the princess must have her reasons. All he could do was follow orders.

...

The ancient civilization.

At this moment, the ancient civilization had also learned about the events in the Guanxuan Universe. The entire ancient civilization was shocked. How did Princess Qi's visit to the Guanxuan Universe turn into a potential war with the Guanxuan Universe?

Everyone was stunned.

In a certain galaxy, deep within the galaxy stood a grand hall towering ninety thousand feet high, like a massive pillar connecting heaven and earth, supporting the entire galaxy universe, extremely magnificent and grand. Surrounding it, stars orbited, and the galaxy flowed, dazzlingly beautiful.

The Ancient Hall!

The ancient civilization was the earliest known ancient civilization below the True World. Throughout its long history, two super geniuses were born. One was the founder of the ancient civilization, who established the ancient civilization and brought it to new heights. Later, he built this Ancient Hall. It is said that the founder believed the ancient civilization was not the earliest civilization and that there were other unknown civilizations before the ancient civilization. Therefore, he gathered all the forces of the ancient civilization to build this Ancient Hall to communicate with past civilizations...

No one knew if he succeeded, but he mysteriously disappeared in the highest level of the Ancient Hall and has never reappeared.

The other super genius of the ancient civilization was equally terrifying, not inferior to the founder. That was the divine Shang Mei.

This divine Shang Mei was not interested in exploring the past. She was very interested in the Heavenly Path and later joined the Guanxuan Sword Master in the Ascension War to enter the True World...

In the council hall, all the top experts of the ancient civilization gathered. At the main seat in the center of the hall, a middle-aged man in a long robe sat. This man was the current leader of the ancient civilization, Nan Yuan. On both sides below, there were over a thousand experts of the ancient civilization, all top experts and power brokers.

After learning about the events in the Guanxuan Universe, Nan Yuan immediately summoned all the domain lords and all the elders of the ancient civilization.

"Too rash."

At this moment, an elder suddenly stepped forward, breaking the silence in the hall. "Princess Qi's actions are equivalent to declaring war on the Guanxuan Universe. How could she do such a rash thing?"

His tone was filled with unhidden anger. If it were not for Nan Tianqi's status, he might have directly scolded her.

After this elder spoke, the hall fell silent again.

Waging war against the Guanxuan Universe!

The ancient civilization was indeed strong, but it was the Guanxuan Universe! During the Ascension War, the Guanxuan Sword Master displayed terrifying power. Waging war against the Guanxuan Universe? This was too risky.

At this moment, another elder stepped forward from the opposite side. "Princess Qi would not act so rashly. She must have a deeper reason..."

He then looked at the leader, Nan Yuan.

Everyone in the hall also looked at Nan Yuan. Nan Yuan extended a finger and lightly tapped. Instantly, a message appeared in everyone's mind.

At this moment, an old man suddenly frowned. "To oppose the Guanxuan Universe for an unknown young man, this..."

Another elder said, "This young man is not simple."

The elder who spoke first immediately said, "No matter how special he is, we cannot wage war against the Guanxuan Universe for him. This is a civilization war, it's not worth it."

Someone suddenly said, "Talking about this now is meaningless. Let's discuss a solution."

After a moment of silence, an old man said, "There are only two choices. First, sacrifice Princess Qi and others, then apologize to the Guanxuan Universe, saying this was all Princess Qi's personal action, unrelated to our ancient civilization; second, fully support Princess Qi and wage war against the Guanxuan Universe."

The hall fell silent again.

Sacrifice Princess Qi?

They did not dare to say this. After all, Princess Qi was the leader's daughter, and doing so would be equivalent to bowing to the Guanxuan Universe. Although the ancient civilization feared the Guanxuan Universe, they had never openly bowed. If they did, the ancient civilization would be seen as inferior in the future.

Thinking of this, everyone found it hard to accept.

But waging war against the Guanxuan Universe?

They were very clear about what waging war against the Guanxuan Universe meant. The Guanxuan Universe had the Guanxuan Sword Master as a backing...

At this moment, everyone was conflicted.

Neither retreat nor advance.

"Fight!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone turned to see a man walking in. The man wore a simple green robe, clean and neat, with a commanding presence.

Nan Tianshi!

Famous alongside Nan Tianqi, he was the most monstrous person in the history of the ancient civilization, of course, this was when he was young. As for whether his final achievements would surpass the divine Shang Mei and the founder, only time would tell.

After Nan Tianshi entered the hall, he looked around. "Why not fight?"

Everyone was stunned.

Nan Tianshi continued, "We will eventually have to fight the Guanxuan Universe, whether you admit it or not?"

Everyone remained silent.

Who did not know the Guanxuan Universe's young lord's ambition to unify the entire universe?

Nan Tianshi continued, "Since we will have to fight eventually, why not take this opportunity to start now?"

An elder said solemnly, "It's too early to fight now... Moreover, Princess Qi's actions were too rash, she didn't even consult us before..."

"Not rash!"

Nan Tianshi directly interrupted the elder, looking around. "My sister's thinking is simple. We will eventually have to fight the Guanxuan Universe, and who is our greatest enemy in the future? Is it the Guanxuan Universe? No, it's Yang Jia. This person is even more monstrous than his father, the Guanxuan Sword Master. And that young man, Ye Tianming, defeated Yang Jia in the Wanzhou competition. What does this mean? It means that the chosen one of this generation is not necessarily Yang Jia!"

Defeated Yang Jia!

At this moment, everyone realized this. Yes! That young man defeated Yang Jia!

Nan Tianshi continued, "Xiao Qi realized this, so she spared no effort to save that young man. The Guanxuan Universe is also sparing no effort to kill that young man for the same reason. They will not allow anyone to compete with Yang Jia for the destiny of this generation. They want to create another Guanxuan Sword Master..."

He laughed, "Xiao Qi is not rash, but has the courage. She is worthy of being my sister, hahaha!"

Everyone looked at him, all smiling bitterly.

This brother and sister were both monstrous, usually competing for the position of young lord, but they seemed to have a good relationship, especially this time. Everyone thought Nan Tianshi would take the opportunity to eliminate Nan Tianqi, but he unexpectedly supported her.

Someone said, "But that young man has no connection with our ancient civilization..."

Nan Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Xiao Qi sent a message. She and that young man have already agreed to a marriage."

Everyone was stunned.

A marriage agreement?

This means that the young man is now half of the ancient civilization.

Everyone fell silent.

Nan Tianshi smiled, then looked up at Nan Yuan, "Father, I am willing to lead the rescue personally."

Nan Yuan stared at Nan Tianshi for a moment, then said, "From now on, you can command all the forces of our ancient civilization."

Nan Tianshi blinked, "Can my brothers and sisters also come?"

Nan Yuan nodded, "Of course."

Nan Tianshi immediately turned and left, "From now on, our ancient civilization enters a state of first-level readiness. All those above the Dao Realm, stand by... All those in seclusion, come out and stand by. All those outside, those above the Dao Realm, immediately head to the Guanxuan Universe for support... Order Nan Tianqing to immediately go to all the major civilizations and persuade them to send troops to support the Guanxuan Universe... Immediately release all the prisoners in the Ancient God Prison, tell them to immediately head to the Guanxuan Universe, and all their crimes will be forgiven if they save that young man, Ye Tianming, and Xiao Qi... Issue a universal bounty, all mercenaries or individuals willing to go to the Guanxuan Universe for rescue will be rewarded one billion cosmic crystals, and one million cosmic crystals for each death..."

He issued dozens of orders. As he walked out of the hall, his voice thundered, "Open all the ancient god passages, issue a declaration to the entire universe, our ancient civilization declares war on the Guanxuan Universe!"

Directly declaring war!

If they were not going to fight, they would not fight, but if they were going to fight, they would fight with all their might, letting all the civilizations in the universe know their attitude and determination. This way, other civilizations would know which side to take!

Outside, an old man appeared beside Nan Tianshi, whispering, "Your Highness, we could have taken this opportunity to eliminate Princess Qi, the greatest hidden threat..."

Nan Tianshi slowly closed his eyes, "Old man, we can compete among ourselves, but when there is an external enemy, we must unite. Especially this time, Xiao Qi is fighting for the destiny of our ancient civilization. How can I, Nan Tianshi, hold her back?"

The old man nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

Nan Tianshi suddenly opened his eyes, "Actually, Xiao Qi doesn't need to put all her hopes on that young man, Ye Tianming..."

He smiled, "Am I, Nan Tianshi, inferior to Yang Jia?"
