Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingyue were standing in outer space, 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 space. “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 title from another, much less a mere child.
He had once envied the titles of the Three Realms and Six Daos, and he had even suggested to the Great Sovereign that the Sixverse Association adopt similar titles, 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 title 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 title of the Three Suns and Six Rulers sounded more than grand and impressive enough.
Additionally, receiving his title in front of the known megaverse meant that the matter would be passed 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 title 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 title. “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 assigned 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 space. “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."
