Star Odyssey Chapter 3171: Three Suns And Six Rulers

Chapter 3171: Three Suns And Six Rulers

Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingyue were standing in outer s.p.a.ce, watching the proceedings in the Heavens Sect.

“Lu Yin really has quite a bit of charisma, doesn’t he? He even managed to convince the stubborn Sovereign Dou Sheng to go over to his side. Sister, can humanity really rally behind him?” Jiang Chen remarked.

Jiang Qingyue’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Lu Yin. He shone brilliantly where he stood at the top of the Heavens Sect. At this moment, he practically blazed with glory.

Through the spatial tunnels that pierced the void, parallel universes that had never interacted with the Origin Universe were watching through various means.

The purpose of this day was to intimidate humanity’s external enemies by demonstrating their unified determination. As one powerful human after another appeared and submitted to the Heavens Sects, hearts sank.

Some of these observers were human, but most were not.

The sight of humanity’s united strength was intimidating to other species.

“Shan Gu,” Lu Yin called out.

The Great Elder appeared on the cloud bridge that connected the Origin Universe to the Lost Clan’s universe. The aura that his Heavenly King card gave off was so intense that it shattered the void as the man appeared. He took a step to enter the Heavens Sect, where he also bowed low to Lu Yin. “Shan Gu is here.”

Lu Yin looked at Shan Gu. “Today, as Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Three Suns and Six Rulers. I hope that you will protect humanity and represent resilience and determination.”

Shan Gu bowed again. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

He then climbed up the steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

Lu Yin turned to look at another point in s.p.a.ce. “Lord Xu.”

The Voidlord appeared and also crossed over the cloud bridge that connected to the Heavens Sect. The man was feeling rather emotional, as Lu Yin had previously been promised to make the man one of the Three Suns and Six Rulers.

Lord Xu had never imagined that he would eventually receive a t.i.tle from another, much less a mere child.

He had once envied the t.i.tles of the Three Realms and Six Daos, and he had even suggested to the Great Sovereign that the Sixverse a.s.sociation adopt similar t.i.tles, but the Great Sovereign had shown no interest in the idea. Her refusal had left Lord Xu disappointed for many years.

When Lu Yin had mentioned the t.i.tle of the Three Suns and Six Rulers, the old man had been ecstatic.

He might be an ancient powerhouse, but the Voidlord’s heart had remained youthful. To him, the t.i.tle of the Three Suns and Six Rulers sounded more than grand and impressive enough.

Additionally, receiving his t.i.tle in front of the known megaverse meant that the matter would be pa.s.sed down to future generations in countless universes.

Lord Xu’s status as the ruler of the Voidforce Universe might be forgotten outside of his universe after his death, but the t.i.tle as one of the Three Suns and Six Rulers would be different.

The Three Realms and Six Daos were still remembered and regarded as legends. Lord Xu also longed to become a legend.

“Lord Xu is here!”

Lu Yin found the man’s reaction amusing. It was unexpected that even an ancient powerhouse like Lord Xu would be excited about receiving a t.i.tle. “Today, as Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Three Suns and Six Rulers. I hope that you will demonstrate humanity’s might and decisiveness in battle and bring us everlasting glory.”

Lord Xu was thrilled. Hearing that his task was to "demonstrate humanity’s might and decisiveness in battle and bring us everlasting glory" sounded far more impressive than the tasks a.s.signed to him in the past.

He bowed deeply. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

He then also climbed the Stairway to Heaven. From this moment on, he would no longer be just the ruler of the Voidforce Universe, but also an elder of the Heavens Sect.

He had never imagined that he would one day join the Heavens Sect.

When the ancient Heavens Sect had been at its most glorious heights, he had wanted to join the sect, but he had been rejected. The reason had been simple: the Heavens Sect refused anyone from another universe. At that time, the sect had been powerful and invincible, and anyone who joined it had possessed the potential to become a legendary figure, but Lord Xu had not been given that opportunity.

Finally, after so long, the Voidlord had finally joined.

Lu Yin looked out into s.p.a.ce. “Lu Tianyi.”

Lu Tianyi emerged from behind some clouds. He entered the Heavens Sect, bowed to Lu Yin, and said, “Lu Tianyi is here.”

Lu Yin solemnly declared, “Today, as Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Three Suns and Six Rulers. I hope that you will stand as humanity’s guardian for ages to come.”

Lu Tianyi bowed. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

Lu Yin watched as Lu Tianyi slowly ascended the Stairway to Heaven, and then he lifted his head to look out away from the Heavens Sect. “Humans of this universe and those of other universes, anyone willing to join the Heavens Sect is welcome. The Three Suns and Six Rulers’ positions will all be filled in the future.

“Additionally, the Heavens Sect has established the positions of the Inner Eight Paths and the Outer Eight Paths.

“Shan Zheng.”

Shan Zheng stepped out from the clouds connected to the Lost Clan’s universe, and he also entered the Heavens Sect. “Shan Zheng is here.”

Lu Yin stared down at Shan Zheng. “I, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, appoint you as one of the Inner Eight Paths, tasked with protecting the Heavens Sect.”

Shan Zheng respectfully bowed. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

“Mu Ke.”

Mu Ke crossed over the clouds before bowing to Lu Yin. “Mu Ke is here.”

“I, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, appoint you as one of the Inner Eight Paths, tasked with protecting the Heavens Sect.”

Mu Ke bowed. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

“Xu Wuwei.”

Xu Wuwei crossed over the clouds, staring at Lu Yin. He had never expected that he would one day receive an appointment from this young man. In the past, the young man had used every means available to join the Voidforce Universe, and Xu Wuwei had disliked him for being manipulative. He had never imagined that things would end up as they had. “Xu Wuwei is here.”

“I, as Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect, appoint you as one of the Inner Eight Paths, tasked with protecting the Heavens Sect.”

Xu Wuwei bowed respectfully. “As the Dao Monarch commands.”

“Progenitor Yōu Ming.”

Big Sis emerged from the clouds and stepped into Heavens Sect with rare solemnity. "Progenitor Yōu Ming is here."

Lu Yin looked at her. "I, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, appoint you as one of the Inner Eight Paths, tasked with protecting the Heavens Sect."

Big Sis bowed. "As the Dao Monarch commands."

Lu Yin looked out from the Heavens Sect again. "The Inner Eight Paths will be completed in due time. Humans from other universes who share a bond with us are also welcome to join."

This declaration opened the Heavens Sect up to the entire megaverse.

Lu Yin was incapable of reproducing the peerless glory of the ancient Heavens Sect in the same manner as the Origin Progenitor. The young man’s only option was to gather greater numbers to bridge the gap in power between the present and the past and crush Aeternus.

"The Outer Eight Paths are positions that the Heavens Sect has created specifically for outsider powerhouses. They will not be considered a part of the Heavens Sect, but will rather serve in battle under its command.

"E' Ji."

The universe trembled as the Scourge Occupation entered the Origin Universe.

The Scourge Occupation was a palace created from joining together countless planets into a ma.s.sive, luxurious palace. Its sudden appearance shocked many who saw it for the first time.

As for the people of the Scourge Occupation, they were forced to suppress their arrogance when they looked at the Heavens Sect.

They had always believed their home to be enormous, but it paled in significance in comparison to the Heavens Sect.

Not only that, just Ancestor Tortoise and the jiao, which were both outside of the Heavens Sect, were about the same size as the Scourge Occupation.

E' Ji appeared and stepped onto the cloud bridge before making her way towards Heavens Sect.

"E' Ji is here."

Lu Yin turned his attention to the woman. "The Scourge Occupation is an ally of Heavens Sect. Today, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Outer Eight Paths. Together, we will protect ourselves from our enemies."

E' Ji looked up at Lu Yin. "The Scourge Occupation will never betray an ally. From this day forward, we will be one of the Heavens Sect’s Outer Eight Paths. Thank you, Dao Monarch."

Unlike the Three Suns and Six Rulers or the Inner Eight Paths, the Outer Eight Paths were more open positions. They were not given to members of the Heavens Sect, but rather to the sect’s allies.

This was a way for outsider powerhouses who wished to join forces with the Heavens Sect against common enemies to do so without formally joining the sect.

Some powerhouses from other universes would not be willing to join the Heavens Sect, but might still wish to ally themselves with the Heavens Sect in order to fight against powerful enemies. The Outer Eight Paths were the perfect choice.

E' Ji walked towards the Stairway to Heaven. She had not expected this day to come. She knew that she was approaching the end of her life and that her first time setting foot in the Heavens Sect might also be her last.

"Moon Fairy."

Moon Fairy appeared from the clouds. She looked ethereal and was stunningly beautiful. She was the representative of the Luna Alliance. Even after Yue Shen’s death, Moon Fairy and Moon Ghost were still formidable powerhouses.

The Megalith Poison was still weakening them, but Lu Yin was determined to find an antidote.

"Moon Fairy is here."

Lu Yin looked at the woman. "The Luna Alliance is an ally of Heavens Sect. Today, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Outer Eight Paths. Together, we will protect ourselves from our enemies."

Moon Fairy stared back at Lu Yin. "Thank you, Dao Monarch."

Her grat.i.tude towards Lu Yin was readily evident. Without his help, the Luna Alliance might not have survived. She slowly ascended the Stairway to Heaven.

E' Ji noticed Moon Fairy's weakened state and grew curious about it.

Moon Fairy smiled at the other woman, and E' Ji nodded, her expression serene.

While Moon Fairy was much older than E' Ji, E' Ji seemed more like the elder sister.

"Mimina."

Mimina stepped out from clouds to enter the Heavens Sect. "Mimina is here."

Many of the people watching found it curious that all of the appointed Outer Eight Paths were women.

"The Nine-Star Civilization is an ally of Heavens Sect. Today, as Dao Monarch of Heavens Sect, I appoint you as one of the Outer Eight Paths. Together, we will protect ourselves from our enemies."

Mimina gave a respectful bow. "The Nine-Star Civilization is extremely grateful to Dao Monarch Lu for rescuing us. We stand ready to serve the Heavens Sect without hesitation."

Lu Yin smiled. "Senior Kakawen deserves our respect. I hope that the Nine-Star Civilization can produce a cultivator who is capable of using your nine-star technique Restart without needing to sacrifice their life, unlike you and Senior Kakawen."

This comment was delivered as a warning to Aeternus. Lu Yin was informing the Aeternals that Mimina was also capable of unleas.h.i.+ng Restart.

Without this knowledge, Aeternus might attack the Nine-Star Civilization again, and even if Mimina used Restart and dealt terrible damage to Aeternus, the Nine-Star Civilization would still lose their foremost powerhouse.

Mimina understood Lu Yin's intention. "You don’t need to worry, Dao Monarch Lu. The Nine-Star Civilization will not disappoint you."

With that, she ascended the Stairway to Heaven to stand just below E' Ji.

E' Ji and the others glanced outwards, curious to see if all of the Outer Eight Paths would be women. That did not seem very likely.

Many others were similarly curious.

Lu Yin's expression grew solemn. "The Abandoned."

A cloud bridge extended towards the crowd, startling the people who had gathered outside of the Heavens Sect. They wondered who among them was qualified to walk the path of clouds into Heavens Sect.

The Abandoned stepped forward. His appearance was as low key as ever, and he startled those who were nearby.

Anyone who was worthy of being given entry into the Heavens Sect with a cloud bridge had to be an exceptional expert.

The Abandoned was not used to being the center of attention, and at this moment, he was not simply in the spotlight of the Heavens Sect, but of the entire megaverse. Countless creatures were watching him at this moment. It was enough to make even a jaded man like him feel nervous.

In the First Scourge, Arrow G.o.d stared at the display with an icy gaze.

The Abandoned was the last survivor of a civilization that Arrow G.o.d had destroyed, and he was that civilization's greatest powerhouse.

Arrow G.o.d had been infuriated and frustrated at failing to kill the man, and his existence had created endless trouble for the Fifth Scourge.

Progenitor Xi calmly stared at the display. "Is that the powerhouse that your Fifth Scourge listed as a priority target for the Divine Commandment?"

Arrow G.o.d answered in a cold voice, "Yes."
