The news of the fall of the second fortress of the Celestial race was immediately known to the ancient existences of various races who had been observing the battlefield.
"The decisive battle is about to begin. Those who participate will face the consequences, and those who don't will retreat." Ancient voices resounded from the heartlands of various races across the heavens.
In an instant, countless powerful beings awakened and, carrying the destiny of their respective races, moved towards the depths of the endless void.
In the human camp on the battlefield of the Sea of Destiny, the commander, Ancestor Fuxi, addressed the crowd below:
"The Heavenly Pass has been breached. It is now time for the human path to revive. Shaodian, return to the ancestral land and awaken our three Chaos Ancestors, Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi. Ask them to lead the human legions to suppress the Heavenly Dao."
Meanwhile, at the sealed land of the Human Ancestral Court.
Emperor Shun reignited the formation on the great altar. Moments later, Shaodian emerged from the void.
Nodding to Emperor Shun, Emperor Shun quickly waved his hand, and the five grains and three sacrifices, representing the prosperity of the human race, were placed on the altar.
"Descendant of Human Ancestor Fuxi, reporting to Old Ancestors Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi. With the Heavenly Pass broken, the human path is rising. We request the three primordial ancestors to emerge and suppress the chaos of the heavens." Shaodian cut his palm, using his bloodline as a medium, and dripped it into the formation on the altar.
The stone statues that had been standing on the altar suddenly emitted golden light. With a crisp sound, the stone statues shattered, and two men and one woman emerged from the broken statues. They were the three primordial ancestors of the human race: Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi, a couple, and Old Ancestor Suiren Shi.
At the same time, countless roars echoed from below the altar. Twelve towering figures, leading the legions behind them, broke through the seal and appeared before everyone.
These were the blood descendants of Human Ancestor Pangu, the Witch Ancestor legions, also known as the guardian legions of the human path.
Roars erupted from various parts of the sealed land. Countless ancient human and divine beast races, also sealed, awakened, broke through the concealing seals, and joined the Witch Ancestor legions.
The Kuafu clan, the Zhu Yan clan, the Great Yi ancient clan, the You Xiong clan, the Suiren clan, the Shennong clan.
Countless ancient humans awakened, preparing to participate in this final battle.
A similar scene unfolded in the ancestral land of the Underworld City in the Earthly Dao.
Wutian, the Chaos Ancestor of the Earthly Dao, stood on the great altar of the Earthly Dao, chanting incomprehensible incantations. The runes on the entire altar flickered.
Two giant dark coffins slowly emerged from beneath the altar. Suda Novel Network.
In Fengdu City of the Earthly Dao, the Fengdu Ancestor respectfully said to the solemn woman before him, adorned in a magnificent green dress embroidered with phoenixes: "Greetings, Ancestor Houtu."
Ancestor Houtu smiled gently and said with a kind expression, "Ancestor Fengdu, greetings. Since you have awakened me, it seems the time for the decisive battle has arrived. Let us depart then."
As one Chaos Ancestor after another revived, the guardian legions of the Heaven, Earth, and Human paths set off towards the battlefield.
From the depths of the ancestral lands of the Immortal, Demon, Dragon, and Sacred Beast races, a Chaos Ancestor from each emerged, breaking through the void and appearing on the Destiny battlefield.
Old Ancestor Huoling of the Innate Sacred Spirit race sat on the throne of the great altar of the Sacred Spirit race, looking at six figures also seated on thrones and said, "Brothers, shall we still abide by our old rule and not participate in the battle for destiny?"
"Participate in what? Innate elements are the foundation of the universe. Our Innate Spirit race has always maintained the operation of various innate elements. If we participate in the battle and something unexpected happens, won't all the beings in this universe be finished?"
Similar to Old Ancestor Huoling, Old Ancestor Jinling, who was also hot-tempered, retorted indignantly.
"Jinling is right. Our spirit race maintains the operation of space, life, and the seven elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in this universe. We can say that besides death, nothing is beyond our control. The remaining seven fundamental elements all require the supervision of our Sacred Spirit race. Therefore, let us join forces to set up a planar defense formation and continue to lie low," said Old Ancestor Muling, who intended to take Lin Zhan as his grandson-in-law.
Old Ancestor Huoling could only nod helplessly at his old brothers. He had finally taken a fancy to a somewhat flawed young man and originally intended to help him. Now, he could only hope that young Lin would take care of himself, especially since the appearance fee he promised hadn't been paid yet.
Lin Zhan watched as the Earthly Dao legions advanced unimpeded and couldn't help but chuckle: "Good heavens, these old fellows are quite quick. My nine great armies haven't arrived yet, but the elites of the Earthly Dao are all here."
"Lin小子, the Heavenly Pass has been breached. How should we fight the remaining battles?" After repelling the Fifth Elder of the Celestial race, Old Ancestor Heipao felt his confidence surge, eager to lead Lin Zhan and command the Earthly Dao legions to conquer the entire Celestial race.
Lin Zhan shook his head, rolling his eyes, "Old Ancestor, what are you so happy about? You only repelled the Fifth Elder of the Celestial race, you didn't kill him. I heard he wasn't injured at all. He might come back with his brothers to seek revenge later."
Old Ancestor Heipao pouted, "Seek revenge? Our Earthly Dao's five Chaos Ancestors have all arrived at the Destiny battlefield. If they want to trouble me, they should worry about their Celestial race first."
Just as Lin Zhan was about to speak, he saw Chi You and others emerge from the void: "Zhan'er, the Human Chaos Ancestors have all revived. Let the decisive battle begin."
Lin Zhan was stunned, and then he saw several teleportation gates appear above Gaoxin Shi. Countless Earthly Dao troops emerged from these gates.
Following that, the teleportation gates in the Gaoxin Shi training grounds also lit up, and the nine group army commanders, including He Dazhuang, emerged one after another.
"Hahaha, good fellows, the entire army is assembled! Zhang Dabiao, form the Human and Earthly Dao Joint Operations Staff Department."
"Send orders to Zhang Haoming to bring the logistics army to assist the Earthly Dao Heroic Spirit Army in building a defense line against the Celestial race, to prevent sneak attacks, and to secure our last retreat."
As Lin Zhan's military orders were issued, everyone busied themselves.
Old Ancestor Heipao and King Ashura exchanged bewildered glances: "Holy crap, it's starting already."
Half an hour later, Lin Zhan and others sat in a hastily constructed command post, with generals from the Human and Earthly Dao races seated below, awaiting the transmission of military orders.
"Quickly check, where has Xiao Hanyi's scout detachment reached?" Inside the second Heavenly Pass was the heartland of the Celestial race, a forbidden zone for all the races in the heavens. The entire human race and the Earthly Dao combined had no understanding of the Celestial race's heartland. Only Xiao Hanyi leading a scout detachment could scout ahead.
"Commander, the scout detachment has not sent back any news. Should we wait a bit longer?" Zhang Dabiao advised Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan shook his head, "No more waiting. If we wait like this, who knows how long it will take."
