C3459 It Was All for Naught
After they left the Time God Palace, they did not return to their families. After all, the Sky Sovereign of Time had only given them one day's time. They would be moving out of the Time God Realm the next day, so they came straight to Earth Matrix Palace.
"We have come to submit to Ksitigarbha and seek an audience with your Young Master." The silver-haired elder looked at the guards outside the Ksitigarbha Palace and said. Although they were the leaders of the Heavenly Lord level forces, this was the Ksitigarbha Palace, so they naturally did not dare to put on airs here.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and report this to you," one of them replied, then turned around and entered Ksitigarbha Palace.
The experts waited for a while before several figures walked out of the Ksitigarbha Palace. The middle-aged man in the lead swept his gaze over the experts in front of him with a surprised expression. So many people had come.
"Everyone, follow me to see the Young Master," the middle-aged man said.
"Thank you for leading the way," the silver-haired old man said politely. He obviously knew that the middle-aged man was also a Celestial Venerable.
The middle-aged man did not say anything else and immediately turned around to leave. The silver-haired elder and a group of experts followed behind him.
After a period of time, the middle-aged man brought the experts to the main hall. He bowed to the young man sitting on the throne and said, "Young Master, the person is here."
The experts looked at the young man above them at the same time and couldn't help but feel waves in their hearts. He had an imposing appearance and was a dragon amongst people. Although he was only a First Calamity Heavenly Sovereign, the aura from his body had already surpassed those of them. This kind of peerless figure was destined to stand at the peak of existence.
As they sighed with emotion, the young man looked at them with a smile and asked, "Are you all from the same region?"
They had all come together, and their relationship was obviously very close. They should be from the same area. After all, the forces from different areas were very far apart from each other, and they wouldn't have too much contact with each other.
"Exactly. We all come from the Time God Realm," replied the silver-haired elder.
When the young man heard this, his brows twitched. The Time God Realm?
All the factions in the Time Realm were affiliated with the Time Realm. Why would they submit to Ksitigarbha? Was this the arrangement of the Time Realm?
Although he was a little confused, he didn't show it on his face. He still asked with a smile, "The Time God Realm is the most powerful place in the Time Realm. Since you are all from the Time God Realm, the forces behind you must be very powerful."
Hearing the youth's praise, the experts were delighted in their hearts. It seemed that this matter was settled. However, what the youth said next made their hearts tremble.
"As far as I know, all of you are affiliated with the Time God Realm. May I know why all of you have come to join the Ksitigarbha Heaven?"
The youth spoke with a very gentle tone as if he was speaking casually, but the experts were all very shrewd figures, so they could naturally understand the meaning behind his words.
This was their motive for suspecting them.
But they could understand it. After all, the Time God Palace and Ksitigarbha had a deep grudge against each other. It was hard for them not to be suspicious when they suddenly submitted to Ksitigarbha because they were affiliated with the Time God Palace.
"Ever since the ancient war, the Temple of Time has been like the setting sun. It no longer has its former glory. Now, the unification of Ksitigarbha's Heaven is unstoppable. All the forces have pledged allegiance to it. In the future, they will definitely be the overlords of the Great Bright Time Heaven. We naturally need to submit to someone else."
The silver-haired old man's words were very clever. Not only did he explain the reason why they had submitted to the Ksitigarbha Heaven, he also said that the Ksitigarbha Heaven was a wise master, and would be the overlords of the Great Bright Time Sky in the future. Young Master Ksitigarbha would definitely be very happy to hear such words.
The gazes of the experts were all focused on the youth, but what surprised them was that the youth's expression was abnormally calm. No one could tell what he was thinking.
They sighed in their hearts. What a deep mind! He didn't show his emotions.
"The Time God Palace used to be a major power. Your status should have been very high at that time, right?" the youth suddenly said.
The experts couldn't help but be taken aback. They didn't expect the youth to say such a thing.
" Their status was indeed very high at that time, but after the ancient war, their status gradually decreased. Now, they only have an undeserved reputation. " The silver-haired elder replied. The meaning in his words was as if the Time God Palace had caused them to become like this.
"You've enjoyed the protection of the Temple of Time for countless years. It must be because of the Temple of Time that you can have this day," the youth said. His tone was cold.
"This..." The silver-haired old man's expression froze. He didn't know how to reply. The other experts felt nervous, and they had a bad feeling about this.
"Under the protection of the Temple of Time, all of you have the strength that you have today. But now, because the Temple of Time isn't as good as it was before, all of you have drawn a clear relationship with it. What is the point of belittling it with words? Repaying kindness with ingratitude, or ungrateful?"
The youth looked at the strong cultivators indifferently and continued to speak, "You can leave. The Ksitigarbha Heaven doesn't need you."
As the young man's voice faded, the expressions of the experts all turned unsightly. An icy intent spread throughout their bodies. They didn't expect the young man to say such words to them. It was too unexpected.
They didn't come here to welcome him, but to mock him.
Why? What did they do wrong?
Didn't those forces also betray the God Realm? Why did they get such treatment?
"We sincerely submit to Ksitigarbha! As long as you ask, we will do our best." At this moment, the Sect Master of the Absolute Heaven Sect spoke. His eyes were fixed on the young man, unwilling to give up just like that.
The young man's gaze fell on him and he said, "Since you are sincere in submitting, I will give you a chance. As long as you pass the test, you will be my trusted aide."
A light flashed across the eyes of the Sect Master of the Absolute Heaven Sect. If he became Ksitigarbha's trusted aide, his future would be limitless.
"I wonder what kind of test it is?" he asked.
"Take the force behind you to Ksitigarbha Sky. As long as you stay in Ksitigarbha Sky for ten years, I will allow you to return to the God Realm. Can you do that?" The young man said indifferently. After he finished speaking, he turned to the others, "You guys will also be tested."
The faces of the experts froze at the same time, and their hearts twitched.
In the God Realm, the people of Ksitigarbha were like beasts. It was the same for the people of the God Realm in Ksitigarbha. They did not have any powerful backing behind them. If they went to Ksitigarbha, not to mention ten years, they would probably be surrounded and attacked as soon as they went down. There was no chance of survival.
This wasn't a test for them at all. It was clearly a test for their lives.
"It seems that you don't have the courage to accept the test," the young man said calmly.
"May I ask if the forces from before also had this test?" the silver-haired elder asked in a deep voice.
"No." The young man shook his head.
"If they don't, why are they testing us?" the silver-haired elder asked. This was too unfair.
"I didn't send anyone to the Time God Realm. Do you know why?" the young man asked.
The experts couldn't help but turn serious. Many thoughts flashed through their minds. Ksitigarbha's people had gone to the other eight zones, but they hadn't gone to the Time God Realm. They had thought that Ksitigarbha was afraid of the Time God Palace, so he couldn't send people there directly.
But now that they thought about it, this probably wasn't the reason.
Ksitigarbha's actions didn't even put the Heavenly Palace in his eyes, so why would he care about the Time God Palace?
Then there was only one possibility that made sense.
Ksitigarbha did not plan to gather any forces from the Time God Realm at all!
When they thought about this, their expressions became especially ugly. Ksitigarbha hadn't considered them, yet they wholeheartedly wanted to submit to Ksitigarbha. How ridiculous was that?
In the end, it was all for nothing.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with regret. Not long ago, they had fallen out with the Temple of Time, but now, Ksitigarbha had rejected them. What should they do in the future?
