The Golden Deity looked at the sacred land that was on the verge of crumbling as his eyes burned with hysterical rage. He wanted very much to fight with the man in front of him!
However, the Golden Deity did not have any confidence whatsoever. He was afraid that he would not be an equal opponent for Luo Yunyang even if he were to use all his powers.
After all, the Human Ruler had been pressuring him since the beginning of their fight.
He had been suppressed entirely in terms of cultivation base, speed, and techniques.
He was not a match for this Human Ruler!
The Golden Deity had accepted this reality, but this Human Ruler actually went ahead and desecrated the Golden Sacred Land even when he said he wanted to talk things out.
One had to know that the Golden Sacred Land was of paramount importance to him, as he could improve his strength only in the Golden Sacred Land.
He had not brought a lot of resources to rebuild the Golden Sacred Land after breaking through the restrictions of the unparalleled seal and arriving at the location of the last Great Era.
The bombardment of 800 Yuan Venerates shattered mountain after mountain, causing countless divine inscriptions to turn into powder in the void.
“Luo Yunyang, get them to stop quickly, or I will kill all your subordinates!”
The Golden Deity’s threat echoed in Luo Yunyang’s ears. Upon hearing this threat, Luo Yunyang smiled and said, “I will kill you if you dare to kill any of them today. Don’t think that I will spare you just because you are a powerhouse who has returned from ancient times!”
The Golden Deity was genuinely angry. He looked at Luo Yunyang and felt extremely wronged deep down. Spare me? When did you spare me?
Although he complained deep down, he did not dare do anything. This person’s cultivation suppressed his own and he would be in for a tough time if this man really went crazy.
Furthermore, that was the Human Ruler of this era so he would be more familiar with things here than he was.
Hence, the Golden Deity’s eyes began to look at the figures watching the commotion.
Although those people did not come from the same Great Era as him, their status was actually the same. However, every top-notch powerhouse would have their own unique character.
It was precisely these unique characters that made it difficult for them to work together. Some might even clash with one another over a single word or two.
It was not because they did not know the benefits of staying united, but because some people were used to being at the top alone and thus found it hard to put themselves into a supporting role for another person.
For example, the Golden Deity did not see eye to eye with the White-Silver Deity!
There was no conflict between the two of them and both were members of the Human Race. It could even be said that their Great Eras were very close.
However, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was that they did not see eye to eye with one another!
“Everyone, His Majesty the Human Ruler is taking advantage of me by showing his might. You will all be next if you sit back and do nothing.” The Golden Deity’s brain worked quickly. He knew that he had lost face anyway, so he shouted out loudly without any qualms.
The expression of the White-Silver Deity and the Bronze Monarch changed immediately when he heard the Golden Deity’s words. Eventually, the Bronze Monarch with the thunder mark between his eyes spoke.
“Human Ruler, the Golden Deity has offended you, but you have also taught him a huge lesson. In my opinion, this matter should be over!”
Although the giant with the thunder inscriptions between his eyebrows seemed to have only expressed his opinion, all the people present understood that he actually represented the opinion of many powerhouses who had returned.
Therefore, as soon as the giant uttered these words, the atmosphere surrounding them instantly became stale.
All the people present exchanged a glance before turning to look at Luo Yunyang.
As Luo Yunyang’s companions, the Da Qian Hall Master and the others quickly sent a message to Luo Yunyang and said very solemnly, “Yunyang, although you are the Human Ruler, it is better not to annoy these people.”
“They are, after all, formidable beings of a different era. You may not be afraid of one of them, but things will be troublesome if all of them feel threatened at the same time.”
The Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master also used voice transmission to speak to Luo Yunyang, asking him not to act too hastily, as some things needed to be dealt with slowly.
Luo Yunyang didn’t speak immediately. He glanced at the man with the thunder inscriptions between his eyebrows and then said, “What did you mean when you said it should be over?”
The man with the thunder inscriptions between his eyebrows frowned, as he sensed a hint of hostile intent in Luo Yunyang’s rhetorical question.
Although it was too late for regrets, he was more angered by the fact that Luo Yunyang was looking down on him.
“Of course, you will be leaving with your people. The Golden Deity will do what he should do, so let’s not waste our time here.”
The Thunder Giant looked at the thousands of his companions, including the White-Silver Deity, as if to say that this was their common opinion.
Luo Yunyang smiled and said slowly, “I don’t agree with that!”
He looked at the Thunder Giant and said icily, “All of us know why you came back from your Great Era. As the Human Ruler, I have only one sentence for all of you: I’d definitely welcome it if you were all willing to help. However, don’t blame me for being impolite if someone is unable to help and still causes trouble here!”
Luo Yunyang had a cold look on his face as he muttered the words “being impolite”.
The Thunder Giant glared coldly. He had never thought that his proposal would be rejected in such a manner.
“It seems that His Majesty the Human Ruler does not care about us.” The Thunder Giant’s tone was threatening as he looked at the Golden Deity who had been beaten by Luo Yunyang.
“Since all of you came to this era, you should understand what threat this era is facing. As the Human Ruler, I want strict compliance and obedience. I want us to work together and not have you do whatever you want.” Luo Yunyang stared at the Golden Deity as he added, “If anyone wants to do whatever they wish, then scram from the land I command!”
“I don’t care if you find a place and do whatever you like, but if you are so presumptuous within the 36 Great Cosmoses, then don’t blame me for killing you!”
Killing intent burned even greater in the White-Silver Deity and the Bronze Monarch. Luo Yunyang was really unruly and annoying.
The Golden Deity nearly wanted to hug Luo Yunyang upon hearing what he said. Luo Yunyang was simply garnering hatred.
The Golden Deity himself was not an equal opponent for Luo Yunyang, but as long as Luo Yunyang caused a public uproar and provoked the Thunder Giant and the others into making a move on him, Luo Yunyang would still be inferior to the returnees even though his cultivation was exceptional and he had nearly a thousand Yuan Venerates.
Thus, the Golden Deity was anticipating what would happen next!
“You’ll kill us all just because your cultivation is a little better?” the monarch whose body was made up entirely of bronze said.
Luo Yunyang looked at the Bronze Monarch and said lightly, “My cultivation plays only a small part. I’m relying on the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, the edict of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate!”
“The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor asked me to command the Human Race and gather the strength of the Human Race to destroy the Mysterious Underworld Race. Would you guys like to challenge the Lord Divine Ancestor?”
Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky and the other five half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates also arrived on the scene via their spirit consciousness. They overlooked the entire scene as if they were watching a show.
However, they frowned when they heard what Luo Yunyang had said. These words left them stupefied.
At first, they had thought that Luo Yunyang would chastise them angrily in return, but they did not expect that Luo Yunyang would mention the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. Furthermore, he had said this in such a righteous, dignified tone that it seemed as if he was speaking the truth.
While they were furious, they also felt that what Luo Yunyang had said was true. His appointment as the Human Ruler had indeed been ordered by the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
But wasn’t this fellow a little too shameless? He wanted to split the Human Race into the Imperial Court and the Heavenly Court, yet he dared to use their master’s name without any qualms against the Golden Deity and the rest of the returnees!
Although Luo Yunyang’s reprimand angered the Thunder Giant, the edict of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate that Luo Yunyang had just mentioned made him calm down immediately.
He found himself in a dilemma now. After all, the current situation made it difficult for him to decide what to do.
The White-Silver Deity and the others quickly retracted their overwhelming auras, acting as if everything had nothing to do with them.
They were facing a common enemy in Luo Yunyang, but they were merely suppressing Luo Yunyang for the sake of their common interests.
After realizing that they could no longer suppress him, they thought it would be best for them to withdraw first. They didn’t speak again, as it was not necessary to anger a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
Although they also knew a little about the dispute between Luo Yunyang and Tianding Realm, Luo Yunyang was still the Human Ruler, a title bestowed by the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor would take them down if they really went too far, even after considering showing them some respect.
Not only would they suffer once they were suppressed, but it would probably be very difficult for them to complete the important task they had to. Sacrificing themselves for the sake of the Golden Deity, whom they were not very familiar with, was not worth it.
At the moment, the Golden Deity felt like he could cry. Although he wanted to tell the While-Silver Deity and the rest not to be afraid because Luo Yunyang was clearly just making threats, he knew that it would be futile even if he said it.
After all, Luo Yunyang’s position as the Human Ruler was indeed an edict of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
The attack of the 800 Yuan Venerates intensified as they became more skilled, accelerating the speed at which the Golden Sacred Land was crumbling at the same time.
“Your Majesty, I admit defeat this time. Please make your men stop and I will take back the Golden Sacred Land. From now on, I will mind my own business!”
The Golden Deity was also someone who knew when to stop, so he was aware that there was nothing he could do. Hence, he could only apologize to Luo Yunyang.
