This was the Heavens Sect, and the Heavens Sect protected the entire Fifth Mainland. This was Lu Yin's Heavens Sect.
Lu Yin was the one who had gathered all of these powerful cultivators together, and he had also been the one to bring about an unprecedented sense of safety.
Everyone was staring at whatever display was closest to them, excited and amazed. They all looked at Lu Yin, who stood above all others, and shouted, "The Dao Monarch is invincible!"
"The Dao Monarch is invincible!"
"The Dao Monarch is invincible!"
…
No one led the cheers. It was a spontaneous eruption of passion that poured out spontaneously from the masses. It was their support for Lu Yin.
There were also people from the Sixverse Association who had come to watch, and they stared on in shock.
Peak powerhouses were rare in the Sixverse Association, but it seemed that they were rather common in the Heavens Sect. Why were there so many?
People from the Transcendent Universe, the Voidforce Universe, the Arboreal Realm, the Lost Clan, and even the Cyclic Universe all came. All of them arrived in the Origin Universe to observe this ceremony. However, they were left speechless when they saw the current Heavens Sect.
He Ran stood beside the cauldron, in the open and revealed for all to see. Lu Yin no longer cared if people saw her in the Heavens Sect.
He had the confidence to expose what he had done.
He had already repeatedly offended the Cyclic Universe, and he had no need to hide his deeds from anyone. He was Lu Yin, the master of the Heavens Sect and the Dao Monarch of the Origin universe.
At the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven, Monarch Xing bowed. "This one is from the Three Monarchs Universe."
"Why do you wish to join the Heavens Sect?" Lu Yin asked again.
Monarch Xing remained silent for a moment. "To protect my family."
A smile spread across Lu Yin's face. "Are you willing to join the Heavens Sect, protect mankind, and share in all of the struggles and tribulations that we may face?"
Monarch Xing took a deep breath. "Yes."
Lu Yin nodded. "Permitted."
The moment Lu Yin spoke, an invisible wind blew by, confusing Monarch Xing. The moment Lu Yin spoke that word, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the Origin Universe. What had just happened?
She did not give the sensation too much thought and instead started climbing the stairs, heading towards the level where Kui Luo was standing. Once she passed by him, she reached the level where the peak powerhouses were all gathered.
On this day, there was no hierarchy or order to the positions of the peak powerhouses. Whoever came first stood at the front. Though if they were standing according to power, there was no doubt that she would stand at the rear.
"Where is Chen Le?"
Chen Le stepped out, revealing himself in outer space. He took a deep breath. This day had finally arrived. Even though he had already joined the Heavens Sect long ago, he had actually only submitted to Lu Yin and had little connection to the Heavens Sect.
Starting from this day forth, Chen Le would officially be a part of the behemoth that was the Heavens Sect. This organization could ignore the Cyclic Universe and even dare to arrest one of the Nine Sages in the Cyclic Universe. The Heavens Sect would undoubtedly become the most glorious place for humanity in the future.
Chen Le felt as though he had glimpsed the future as he stood before the Heavens Sect. This day would become a legend for future generations.
The more the Monarch thought about it, the more excited he became.
Lu Yin stared at Chen Le with cold eyes. If not for the current magnificent display of power from the Heavens Sect, Lu Yin would not want Chen Le to join the Heavens Sect. In fact, Lu Yin would rather imprison Chen Le like he had done to Monarch Mu. Chen Le was simply too rebellious.
Even so, that did not matter. Joining the Heavens Sect did not mean that Chen Le would receive his acknowledgement. Lu Yin would treat the man completely different from Monarch Xing.
Chen Le approached the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven, and he offered a respectful bow. He appeared far more submissive than Monarch Xing, and he fully treated Lu Yin as a superior. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."
Lu Yin asked solemnly, "Where do you hail from?"
"Dao Monarch, this one hails from the Three Monarchs Universe."
"Why do you wish to join Heavens Sect?"
"I wish to serve the Dao Monarch until death. I submit myself to the Dao Monarch and will be loyal to the Heavens Sect!" Chen Le shouted. He had considered his answer for a long time, so he shouted it when it was finally asked.
The Progenitor of Bloodlines and the other peak powerhouses all gave the Monarch odd looks. This person was a bit special.
The countless people watching the ceremony let out more wild cheers. What did it matter if a person was as strong as a Progenitor? Even they had to declare their loyalty to the Dao Monarch. Even Progenitors had to serve Master Lu Yin to death. This was what people yearned for most. At this moment, the shouts grew even more fanatic, and they filled the universe.
The entire Origin Universe felt like it was about to collapse from all the cheers.
On Earth, Zhou Shan smiled bitterly, even as he admired the people's enthusiasm for Lu Yin. Their reactions showed just how much Lu Yin had done for mankind. He deserved everyone's praise.
How many years had it taken for Lu Yin to reach these incredible heights? Would he ever return to Earth? Remember your old friend.
Lu Yin arched a brow at Chen Le’s pointed demonstration of absolute loyalty. "Are you willing to join the Heavens Sect, protect mankind, and share in all of the struggles and tribulations that we may face?"
Chen Le answered even louder than before, "I am willing to live and die with the Origin Universe! I am willing to live and die with the Dao Monarch."
"Permitted."
"Thank you, Dao Monarch." Chen Le grew excited. He looked up the Stairway to Heaven and then proceeded to climb up until he stood behind Monarch Xing.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Aeternus has always been the greatest enemy of our Heavens Sect, but once in the past, I also faced a great enemy known as the four ruling powers…"
Lu Yin proceeded to recount the enmity and grudges that had built up between Lu Yin and the four ruling powers. As he spoke, the Heavens Sect remained silent.
Everyone listened to the story that Lu Yin shared, and their hatred for the four ruling powers grew even stronger than ever.
Countless people screamed for the four ruling powers to be destroyed in order to avenge Lu Yin.
"Today, the four ruling powers have been dissolved, and not even their name exists any longer. However, our Heavens Sect looks to the good of all mankind in the war against Aeternus. Even if the four ruling powers are my enemy, as long as they lay down their hatred of me, I, Lu Yin, am still willing to accept them into the Heavens Sect so that humanity can gain greater strength and be united against the Aeternals.
"Where is Xia Shenji?"
Xia Shenji also appeared in outer space. The day had finally come.
