Chapter 2387: Chapter 2385: The Visit Chapter 2387: Chapter 2385: The Visit Ella Jenkins took a sip from her teacup and after a long silence, she slowly spoke.

“Humanity has stood at the pinnacle for too long. Since the dawn of Primordial Chaos when Heaven and Earth were opened, humans came into being. Throughout every Heavenly Dao Year, there have always been astonishing individuals at the top, thriving with divine artifacts and even dozens of Immortal Emperors. They have suppressed other races, even occupying the most vast and prosperous lands, pushing the Demon and Ghost Races down into Lower Dimensional Planes.”

“Yes, for many years the Ghost World has also seen the rise of mighty beings. The five great Ghost Emperors have Emperor Fengdu, Emperor Ming, Yama King, Shen Tu, and the Douluo Soul Emperor. Since the beginning of the Primordial World, the bloodline of the Ten Great Holy Beasts and the Four Great Divine Beasts of the demon race has continued unbroken, even constantly giving birth to powerful new races. The same goes for the Demon clan. However, under the suppression of Immortal Emperor Taylor, the strength of these Different Races slowly dwindled, and Humans came to hold immense Fate Energy. Even in the Degenerate Age, there were cultivators like Clayton Schmidt comparable to Immortal Emperors who suppressed the Different Races, bringing them great deterrence.”

Dean Garner took up the conversation; it was rare for the two to sit together and discuss history.

“In the past, Humans had a sense of crisis and united as one. Even if the Different Races were numerous, they were broken one by one under the leadership of powerful cultivators. However, in these recent Heavenly Dao Years, internal conflicts among Humans have intensified. Many individuals with great Fate Energy have been robbed and plundered. If they do not join the major forces, they unite to kill them, causing them to lose their original Fate Energy. These ancient and ethereal things seem to have gradually weakened the Fate Energy of Humans.”

Dean Garner nodded and said, “Indeed, one such situation is the destiny of the demon, demon, and ghost races crushing the Human Clan’s Heavenly Dao. Perhaps Humans have occupied great Fate Energy for too long; now Heavenly Dao seeks a revolutionary change. We can only see, under this Golden Heavenly Way, whether our Human Race has someone who can lead us out of this dilemma.”

The two were silent for a long time, their faces both heavy.

Now, Humans are killing each other to snatch the Mystic Realms that have erupted everywhere.

Perhaps many people see through everything, like Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner.

But it has no effect; most people in the world are like this, and even if someone sees through it, they do not interfere with the rolling momentum. This situation didn’t form overnight; Humans have been complacent for tens of thousands of years.

It’s been so long that almost everyone thinks that there will be no crisis for Humanity, even at times like now when everyone has no sense of crisis at all.

Like when the Ghost Race was on the verge of extinction in Ancient Times, all the people of the Ghost Race united with all their strength, standing together in the harsh Lower Dimensional Plane, and ultimately survived.

“My Human Race hasn’t produced an Immortal Emperor for a long time. This is also one of the hardships that Humans must endure, as well as one of the tests given by Heavenly Dao. Whether this is tribulation or grace is still unknown. In my opinion, this is rather the key to the rise of Humanity. Otherwise, how could Humanity be called the most spirited of all creatures?”

A domineering voice suddenly appeared from the side, and two figures slowly emerged into the space.

Speaking was Chad Wilson, and standing beside him was Finlay Taylor.

They represent the strongest two clans among the top nine families, the Ji Family Acting Master and the Yan Family Master.

Chad Wilson exuded a frighteningly powerful aura, and he seemed to be forcibly suppressing it, since the Golden Heavenly Way was still slowly descending, needing a few more days before completely releasing the suppression.

Finlay Taylor, on the other hand, seemed like an ordinary person, appearing to hide all his aura within his body without leaking a trace.

“Are the two of you here representing the top nine families to wage war on Thunder Courtyard?”

Dean Garner said with a smile, “You’ve got it reversed, Mr. Garner. Isn’t it Thunder Courtyard that wants to wage war on the top nine families? Forcibly abducting Saintess Taylor and exiling the criminal Ethan Smith; isn’t this taking the top nine families too lightly? We respect Dean Garner and Ella Jenkins; otherwise, next time, it won’t be just the two of us.”

Chad Wilson spoke indifferently.

“Ethan Smith is like my own son. If you want him, it’s declaring war on me. Even if it results in mutual destruction, I don’t care. You don’t need to show me respect. If you have the guts, come to Thunder Courtyard now.”

Edwin Garner stood up, in no way inferior.

“What about my Taylor family’s Saintess?”

Finlay Taylor spoke softly.

“I heard that when Grand Tutor Ji entered the True Saint realm, he had a debate with the dean and lost by one move. Today, I think I will have one move against Miss Jenkins, and then we can discuss other matters.”

Finlay Taylor pressed his palms together, and his fingers suddenly interlocked.

His body seemed to lose all vitality in an instant as a shadowy figure whisked away from it.

Gliding over the water, it arrived in front of Ella Jenkins.

This shadowy figure was where Finlay Taylor’s consciousness resided. At their level,
they tend to compete with consciousness rather than engage in an actual great war with swords drawn. Just like Chad Wilson playing chess and discussing the path with Edwin Garner before–unless there’s a bitter feud.

Otherwise, the spread from an almost equal realm struggle is too vast, and no one can tell for sure if the opponent has some desperate killing move.

Ella Jenkins’s face showed solemnity as she closed her eyes.

She countered the consciousness with a straightforward palm strike, and in that instant,
Edwin Garner and Chad Wilson were forced to retreat a kilometer away, with a tower appearing in Edwin Garner’s hands.

Eight massive beams of light shot out in all directions, stabilizing the space immediately.

Consciousness clashes usually cause minimal disturbance, but Eddie Garner did not dare to relax even a bit at this moment. After all, they were within Thunder Courtyard, and any damage inflicted was Thunder Courtyard’s to bear.

A storm violently surged in the open grounds, and in that area of space, thousands of space blades flickered into existence within the Void, their sharp edges then brutally shredding through.

From afar, the space where Ella Jenkins and Dean Garner were seemed to be experiencing an apocalyptic downpour.

Each drop of rain was a space blade, capable of cleaving divine weapons.

“What a terrifying comprehension of spatial rules. It seems that once the Golden Age fully unfolds, Holy Lord Taylor is likely to make a direct breakthrough,” Edwin Garner murmured soberly as he watched the two.

Ella Jenkins received numerous wounds across her body, and Edwin Garner moved as though to help, but ultimately forced himself to endure it. Interfering in this exchange of paths would be tantamount to admitting defeat, which would be highly disadvantageous for the subsequent negotiations.

Suddenly, amidst the Sea of Space of the Heavenly Dao, killing intent surged yet again.

Huge bubbles emerged, and underneath that river of space, a statue that lay in wait abruptly opened its eyes.

With the momentum, it inhaled a large breath of energy.

Almost simultaneously, a surge of energy entered Finlay Taylor’s original body.

Boom! Space shattered almost in the blink of an eye!

This was the power invoked by his consciousness; had it been his physical body, the might would be tens of times greater.

“Dean Garner, please, keep your composure,” Chad Wilson said gently, glancing at Edwin Garner.

Edwin Garner’s brow furrowed deeply. Finlay Taylor’s form had actually condensed into a Divine Soul Statue–this was already a prerequisite for the second stage of Tribulation Crossing!
