Chapter 2065 : Confrontation of the Sovereigns

Especially Blazing Soul Sage Ascendant, who unleashed a Forbidden Divine Ability to confront the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon head-on. Not only is he now gravely wounded, but he also suffers from the backlash of the Forbidden Divine Ability, leaving him with barely thirty to forty percent of his original strength.

After a moment's observation, Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor realized this battle could not be sustained.

With a furious roar, he unleashed his full power in another Eruption, disregarding his injuries to erupt with all his remaining might, and fought his way through the encirclement.

As he departed, he turned back to glare at Eldrin Chen, his voice a thunderous roar filled with boundless killing intent: "Who are you, to dare ambush this sovereign?"

"This sovereign is Abyssal."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly. Since the enmity was now absolute, there was little point in concealing his identity.

Moreover, with Qiankun Sage Ascendant present, deducing his identity would not be difficult for them.

Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor's expression turned frigid with malice. He finally left with a parting threat: "Grand Turbidity, Abyssal, Spirit Emperor—this sovereign has marked today's grievance. Reckoning shall come in due time."

As his words faded, Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor had already carved his path out from the heart of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Blazing Soul Sacred Venerable, Azure Crane Sage Ascendant, and Myriad Stars Ancient Ancestor likewise followed suit and withdrew.

Regarding this, Eldrin Chen did not give chase, for given the strength of the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor, even grievously wounded, he could still fight his way out by exacerbating his injuries.

Unless the Chaos Celestial Emperor personally intervened, it was nearly impossible for anyone to suppress this Invincible Sage Ascendant.

Most crucially, Eldrin Chen still had to deal with the Qiankun Sage Ascendant and the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon, leaving him with little spare strength to handle these other Sage Ascendant.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze back towards the heart of the battlefield.

There, he saw the Black Abyss Great Emperor locked in fierce combat with the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon, while the Qiankun Sage Ascendant had been momentarily stalled by the Primordial Spirit Emperor and the Kirin Ancient Ancestor.

"BOOM—"

As his thoughts settled, Eldrin Chen acted decisively, commanding the Primordial Chaos Heaven Halberd to cleave towards the Heaven and Earth Elder.

The Qiankun Sage Ascendant, seeing Eldrin Chen's assault, suddenly paled. In an instant, he tore through the Void and hurled the Heaven and Earth Cauldron forward.

In that fleeting moment, he fled in the opposite direction.

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly. Watching the Heaven and Earth Cauldron about to vanish, he hesitated for a mere breath before choosing to seize the Qiankun Sage Ascendant instead.

Almost simultaneously, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron tore through the Void and vanished into the boundless Chaos.

"That one is truly decisive," Eldrin Chen remarked.

Having completely suppressed the Heaven and Earth Elder and secretly stored him within the Chaos Void-Refining Vial, Eldrin Chen gazed in the direction where the Heaven and Earth Cauldron had vanished, a flicker of regret coloring his expression.

This Qiankun Sage Ascendant had acted with ruthless decisiveness, promptly banishing the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and robbing Eldrin Chen of the chance to complete the set.

Witnessing this, the nearby Kirin Sage Ascendant spoke up with a note of concern. "Allowing these sworn enemies to escape today may plant the seeds for significant trouble in the future."

"We could not have held them," Eldrin Chen replied with a soft sigh, his tone laced with resignation.

In truth, it was not that he lacked the means to detain a few of them. By activating the Chaos Void-Refining Vial, he could have easily captured two or three of the Sage Ascendant.

However, doing so would have revealed the existence of the Chaos Void-Refining Vial.

The Immortal Cosmos Dao Progenitor of old had many enemies, and a spatial-attribute Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a primordial treasure of immense power born from Chaos] was far too precious. Its exposure would undoubtedly attract the covetous gaze of certain Chaos Celestial Emperor.

Eldrin Chen had already incurred the wrath of the Three Great Celestial Emperors of the Demon Race; it was truly unwise to provoke the ire of any other Chaos Celestial Emperor now.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin Chen chose to suppress Qiankun Sage Ascendant, even at the cost of relinquishing the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Once merged, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Creation Cauldron possessed the potential to undergo Restoration and ascend into a Mid Grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Yet, a Mid Grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure was a treasure of such immense value, far surpassing that of any ordinary Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Should word of it spread, it would surely invite catastrophic calamity upon Eldrin Chen.

Fortunately, Qiankun Sage Ascendant had never dared to let this secret slip.

For had he dared to reveal it, he himself would have long since been suppressed by a Chaos Celestial Emperor.

In truth, the shattering of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron and its division into the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Creation Cauldron had always been Qiankun Sage Ascendant's most closely guarded secret.

Throughout the Vast Chaotic Void, none could have imagined that the shattered Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron had split into two separate Innate Supreme Treasure.

After all, if a Mid Grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure were to be split in two, logic dictated the result should be, at the very least, two lower-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Eldrin Chen only knew this secret because he himself had obtained the Creation Cauldron. Otherwise, he too would never have guessed that the Heaven and Earth Cauldron wielded by Heaven and Earth Elder was actually a fragment of the shattered Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron.

"Although we failed to secure the Heaven and Earth Cauldron [a legendary cauldron of immense power], subduing Qiankun Sage Ascendant has nonetheless resolved a significant hidden danger."

As these thoughts drifted through his mind, Eldrin Chen let out a slight sigh of relief.

While the loss of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron was a setback, Eldrin Chen still possessed the Creation Cauldron [a primordial cauldron of creation]. As his cultivation realm advanced, he would inevitably be able to locate the Heaven and Earth Cauldron in time.

Furthermore, with Qiankun Sage Ascendant imprisoned, no one else would know the secret of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, greatly enhancing Eldrin Chen's safety.

At this realization, a faint smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips.

He pushed aside his musings and swiftly turned his gaze to the heart of the battlefield. There, he saw that under the full-force suppression of Black Abyss Great Emperor, the grievously wounded Nine Extremities Demon Dragon was being driven back, defeat upon defeat.

The Nine Extremities Demon Dragon [a demonic dragon of immense power], having sustained repeated critical injuries, now retained only about thirty percent of its strength. It was utterly no match for Black Abyss Great Emperor.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen addressed Grand Turbid Daoist and Primordial Spirit Emperor: "Fellow Daoists, please stand guard and prevent them from circling back for a surprise attack. Leave this Nine Extremities Demon Dragon to us."

With those words, Eldrin Chen Eruption [unleashed his full combat power] and joined forces with Black Abyss Great Emperor to suppress the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon.

The fierce battle raged on for an immeasurable duration. In the end, the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon could hold out no longer. Eldrin Chen and Black Abyss Great Emperor joined forces, cleaving off every one of its heads in a final, decisive strike.

After slaying the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon, Eldrin Chen finally allowed himself a sigh of relief.

He collected the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon's remains, then turned to the assembled group and said, "This battle has been arduous for all of you."

"Our hardship pales in comparison to that of Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor and his companions," one of them replied.

Grand Turbid Daoist stroked his long beard, a sigh of lamentation coloring his expression.

Upon hearing this, the others smiled. Had it not been for Qiankun Sage Ascendant and his allies leading the vanguard in this battle, even if they had emerged victorious, the price would have been far steeper.

Reflecting on this, Primordial Spirit Emperor remarked with feeling, "It was a twist of fate that brought them to this Incomplete Chaos Secret Realm ahead of us."

Grand Turbid Daoist nodded in agreement, then spoke, "Perhaps this is simply a matter of differing Fortune [the predestined luck or destiny of an individual]."

"Had we arrived several dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years] earlier, or several dozen later, the Opportunity [a pivotal chance or juncture for advancement] within this place would most likely have been theirs."

Speaking thus, Grand Turbid Daoist looked at Eldrin Chen with a wry smile. "To think, if you had not chosen to enter seclusion for cultivation, but had rushed here one hundred Kalpa Tribulation ago..."

"...then their fate today might very well have been our own calamity."

Eldrin Chen paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression flickering across his face.

Upon careful reflection, the timing of their arrival was indeed perfect—neither too early nor too late, but precisely in the window after the other party had entered yet before the conflict had concluded.

Although the battle between Qiankun Sage Ascendant and the others against the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon had raged for dozens of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles], this span of time was not particularly long for beings at the Sage Ascendant level.

That they arrived precisely at this juncture could be described as having supremely favorable Opportunity [fateful timing and circumstance].

Had they come earlier, they likely would have become mere pawns for others; had they come later, this secret realm would surely have been picked clean long ago.

"Is this the power of Fortune [heavenly favor and luck], and of Merit [virtuous karma]?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, understanding that this was likely an effect of his Primordial Essence [the foundational, purest form of spiritual energy].

He cultivated the Primordial Scripture, and the more Primordial Essence he accumulated within his body, the more potent his Fortune became.

Furthermore, as a Dao Progenitor, Eldrin Chen's Merit had been steadily increasing as his Path of Self-Sacrifice grew in strength and influence.

Now, Eldrin Chen had already condensed a single strand of Chaos Merit Golden Light [a radiant manifestation of supreme virtuous karma born from chaos]. Bolstered by this, his Fortune and Opportunity far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

The combined power of Fortune and Merit [a metaphysical "currency" representing good karma or virtuous deeds] seems to have destined this Opportunity [a rare chance for advancement or gain in cultivation].

In truth, Kirin Ancient Ancestor also surmised that it was due to Eldrin Chen's astonishing Merit [a metaphysical "currency" representing good karma or virtuous deeds] that this Opportunity [a rare chance for advancement or gain in cultivation] had manifested.

Thus, gazing at Eldrin Chen, he could not help but speak: "It seems this time, we are all basking in the reflected light of Fellow Daoist Eldrin."

Primordial Spirit Emperor also smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes glimmering as she said, "With a Fellow Daoist's Merit [a metaphysical "currency" representing good karma or virtuous deeds] being so extraordinary, perhaps it will truly allow us to seize Chaos Primordial Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all creation emerged]."

"You flatter me too much."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, then looked towards the depths of the Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden dimension born from primordial chaos] and said, "Let us go and see."

With these words, he took the lead, striding forward to the very center of the Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden dimension born from primordial chaos].

At the heart of this Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden dimension born from primordial chaos] stood a colossal Chaos Divine Mountain. Within it, Primordial Chaos Qi [the raw, formless energy of the primordial universe] was inhaled and exhaled. Countless threads of the Great Dao [the fundamental laws and principles governing all existence] intertwined here, forming a natural, formidable defensive grand formation.

Fortunately, no powerful beings remained within the divine mountain to command its defenses. After expending some time and effort, they managed to breach the Chaos Grand Formation.

Once the grand formation was sundered, the group stepped into the sacred mountain. As they did, expressions of pleasant surprise could not help but dawn upon their faces.

"A complete Primordial Profound Gold Vein [a primary source of Primordial Profound Gold ore]."

Black Abyss Great Emperor spoke, a flicker of astonishment coloring his expression.

Primordial Profound Gold [a rare and potent primordial metal] is a superior grade of Primordial Unity Marvel [a wondrous object born from the primordial unity of creation]. The value of such an intact Chaos Profound Gold [the highest grade of Primordial Profound Gold, infused with Chaos] vein is nearly incalculable.

By Eldrin Chen's estimation, if all this Primordial Profound Gold were mined and refined, it would be sufficient to forge tens of thousands of Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [the pinnacle grade of treasures born from innate spiritual laws].

Furthermore, within this Primordial Profound Gold Vein, there is no shortage of superior-grade Primordial Profound Gold, a supplementary material of great significance even for the Ascension [the process of elevating a treasure's grade] of an Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the innate laws of the cosmos].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate. He strode directly into the heart of the Primordial Profound Gold Vein and finally discovered three pieces of Chaos Profound Gold that were rhythmically inhaling and exhaling wisps of Primordial Chaos Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all creation emerged].

"Chaos Profound Gold."

Eldrin Chen uttered slowly, a glint of pleasant surprise inevitably rising in his eyes.

Chaos Profound Gold is a Chaos Rare Treasure [a treasure of immense rarity born from Chaos], its value slightly surpassing even that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

It is said that for metal-attribute Innate Supreme Treasure, adding this material during their Ascension into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure infused with the power of Chaos] can increase the probability of a successful Ascension by approximately ten percent.

"A fine treasure indeed."

Eldrin Chen stowed it away for the moment, then spoke, "Let us first proceed to the heart of the divine mountain."

"Agreed."

The group nodded and immediately made their way to the mountain's core.

Upon reaching the mountain's center, Eldrin Chen discovered it was, in fact, a vast Chaos Spring [a primordial fountainhead of chaotic energy].

"A Chaos Spring,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, a flicker of desire lighting his eyes.

Within the Chaos Spring, an incredibly dense Chaotic Divine Liquid [a liquid essence of primordial chaos] churned. At its very heart, floating serenely, was a supreme wisp of Chaos Mist [the primordial vapor from which all things are born].

"Chaos Primordial Qi [the foundational energy of creation]!"

The moment his gaze fell upon that wisp of Chaos Mist, Grand Turbid Daoist's face was overtaken by a look of unbridled ecstasy.

Primordial Spirit Emperor [the supreme ruler of primordial spirits] felt a surge of joy in his heart, which was then followed by a flicker of dimness in his eyes.

"There truly is Chaos Primordial Qi [the primordial energy of chaos, the foundational substance of creation]," he murmured, a note of regret coloring his voice. "Yet, alas, there is only a single strand."

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a trace of lament appearing on his features, but he swiftly suppressed the thought.

Typically, within a Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden dimension born from primordial chaos], between one and nine strands of Chaos Primordial Qi would coalesce, depending on the realm's size and potency.

This place was merely an Incomplete Chaos Secret Realm [a fractured or underdeveloped chaotic dimension]. To find even one strand of Chaos Primordial Qi here was already considered a stroke of considerable Opportunity [fortune or favorable circumstance in the path of cultivation] for them.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen gently levitated the strand of Chaos Primordial Qi and presented it to Grand Turbid Daoist [a Daoist master associated with the grand and turbid forces], saying, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Grand Turbidity. You have obtained the Opportunity to forge your own Dao."

Grand Turbid Daoist could scarcely contain his inner turmoil. He drew a slow, deep breath, forcibly calming the storm of excitement before accepting the Chaos Primordial Qi. Then, he turned his gaze to the other three.

"Fellow Daoists, rest assured," he declared, his voice firm with resolve. "If this old man can successfully prove his Dao and ascend to Chaos Celestial Emperor [a Celestial Emperor who commands the power of primordial chaos], I will undoubtedly lend you my aid in your own endeavors in the future."

Primordial Spirit Emperor gave a slight nod, a smile gracing his lips. "We have waited for over a million Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration, often associated with cataclysms and rebirth]. Another moment's patience is of little consequence."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen proceeded to gather the other treasures residing within the Chaos Spring [a spring or fountainhead brimming with chaotic energies].

Within this Chaos Spring [a primordial spring born from the chaos of creation], aside from the Chaos Primordial Qi [the foundational energy of chaos and creation], there were also three portions of astonishingly valuable Chaos Rare Treasure [treasures of immense power born from the primal chaos], twelve portions of Chaos Origin [a condensed essence of primal chaos, used for crafting and cultivation], and over thirty thousand drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid [a liquid essence refined from chaotic energies].

Among those three portions of Chaos Rare Treasure, there was one Chaos Origin Pearl [a pearl containing a seed of primal chaos], one Chaos Origin Marrow [the condensed marrow-essence of a chaos-born entity], and one piece of Chaos Fire Jade [a jade imbued with the essence of chaotic flame].

The Chaos Origin needs little explanation; it is a lower-value Chaos Rare Treasure. In the past, the Indestructible Elder had also given Eldrin Chen a portion.

The Chaotic Divine Liquid is the most common grade of Chaos Rare Treasure, and also the most frequently used cultivation resource for a Chaos Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler whose power stems from the primal chaos]. A single drop is worth merely one Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure of the highest innate grade, born with spiritual properties].

But here, there were over thirty thousand drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid. Their combined value was enough to rival several Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures of supreme innate quality, unparalleled in power].

"Adding the Chaos Profound Gold [a metal forged in the depths of primal chaos], we now possess four portions of highly valuable Chaos Rare Treasure," Eldrin Chen remarked after tallying the treasures.

Having finished his inventory, Eldrin Chen could not help but voice his thoughts.

Seeing this, the Grand Turbid Daoist hastily spoke up, "This old man has already taken the Chaos Primordial Qi, claiming an immense advantage. I shall not lay claim to the other treasures."

The other three nodded in agreement, offering no further comment.

Gazing upon the remaining treasures, the Primordial Spirit Emperor [an emperor whose authority stems from the most ancient spiritual powers] spoke, "With the Chaos Primordial Qi accounted for, let us divide the rest according to our contributions in battle. What say you?"

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "According to our prior agreement, should a Chaos Origin Pearl [a primordial pearl containing the essence of chaos] appear, it is to be given first to Black Abyss Great Emperor, and the rest of us shall not contend for it."

So saying, Eldrin Chen handed the Chaos Origin Pearl over to Black Abyss Great Emperor.

Taking the Chaos Origin Pearl, Black Abyss Great Emperor was also filled with immense excitement. He drew a deep breath and said, "Although the Chaos Origin Pearl is a Chaos Rare Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos, exceedingly rare], its value is not inferior to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual artifact forged from chaos essence]."

"By taking this treasure, I have gained a great advantage. I shall not partake in the distribution of the other treasures."

"Moreover, I owe you all a favor. If I succeed in cultivating the Chaos Divine Rune [a divine ability manifesting the fundamental laws of chaos], I will unconditionally act on your behalf three times."

Hearing this, both Eldrin Chen and Primordial Spirit Emperor nodded in agreement.

Once Black Abyss Great Emperor masters the Chaos Divine Rune, his combat power is certain to undergo a significant transformation.

At that time, even if he cannot rival a Celestial Emperor [the supreme ruler of the heavens], he should be capable of facing five top-tier Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to the threshold of sagehood] alone.

Having such a powerful Invincible Great Emperor [a Great Emperor whose power is considered peerless within his realm] act unconditionally three times would be of immense benefit to their future paths toward achieving the Opportunity [the pivotal chance or enlightenment needed for a major breakthrough in the Dao].

Furthermore, given Black Abyss Great Emperor's current potential, it is highly probable he will break through to become a Chaos Celestial Emperor.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and looked towards Primordial Spirit Emperor [the ancient sovereign of spiritual essence] saying, "For the remainder, I shall take seventy percent, and you, Fellow Daoist, shall take thirty percent. What say you?"

"Agreed."

Primordial Spirit Emperor nodded. In truth, based on her contribution, she should only have been entitled to around twenty percent. To receive thirty percent was already a concession from Eldrin Chen.

Seeing Primordial Spirit Emperor's agreement, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to divide the remaining treasures.

After some discussion between the two, Eldrin Chen ultimately took one piece of Chaos Fire Jade [a primordial jade imbued with chaotic fire essence], the Chaos Profound Gold [a rare metal born from primordial chaos], nine portions of Chaos Origin [the foundational essence of primordial chaos], and twenty thousand drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid [a divine liquid condensed from chaotic energies].

The remaining Chaos Origin Marrow [the core marrow extracted from Chaos Origin], three portions of Chaos Origin, and ten thousand drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid were all given to Primordial Spirit Emperor.

As for the carcass of the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon [a supreme demonic dragon of nine extremities] and the nine Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures born innately supreme from chaos], Eldrin Chen did not monopolize them either.

He took the complete set of Nine Dragon Treasures [a matched set of nine dragon-themed supreme treasures], while the body of the Nine Extremities Demon Dragon was allocated to Primordial Spirit Emperor.

Thus, both parties profited immensely, their harvests exceedingly bountiful.

After dividing the treasures, Eldrin Chen looked towards Grand Turbid Daoist [the Daoist master of the Grand Turbid realm] and asked, "Where does Fellow Daoist plan to undertake your breakthrough?"

Grand Turbid Daoist pondered for a moment before speaking, "I was originally prepared to attempt my breakthrough here once more. However, now that this location has been exposed, that plan is no longer feasible."

"It seems now, I have no choice but to return to the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss and make my breakthrough within the Three Poles Origin Domain."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement and said, "As the Heaven-ordained Divine Emperor [the supreme sovereign ruler of a vast domain] of the Three Poles Origin Domain, you naturally enjoy the protection of its Primal Domain Heavenly Dao [the fundamental cosmic law and destiny of a primal domain]. Returning there for your breakthrough is indeed the more prudent course."

"However, regarding the Three Great Celestial Courts [the three supreme governing powers of the heavens], you will still need to make some arrangements."

Grand Turbid Daoist nodded firmly. "The Demon Race and I share an irreconcilable enmity. I will certainly not seek any arrangement with them."

"The Human Race has maintained amicable relations with our Hundred Immortal Spirit Races for many years. Fellow Daoist Grand Abyss will undoubtedly lend me his aid."

"As for the Divine Race... I can offer a personal favor as compensation to secure their assistance. However, an intermediary will be needed to facilitate this contact."

Eldrin Chen nodded once more. "I share an Eternal Covenant [a binding, timeless pact] with the Two Divine Emperors and our private rapport is quite good. Leave this matter to me to arrange."

"My sincere thanks, then."

A flicker of joy crossed Grand Turbid Daoist's features, and he could not help but grasp Eldrin Chen's hand in his own.

Eldrin Chen offered a light smile before speaking. "The bond between us is not shallow; there is no need for such formality."

"This is no place to linger. Let us first return to the Primordial Immortal Domain."

All three nodded in agreement. They promptly departed from the Incomplete Chaos Secret Realm and set their course for the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss.

For this return journey, the four of them made no attempt to conceal their presence. Instead, they traveled swiftly and directly together towards the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss. In the span of a mere few Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles], they had returned to the Three Poles Origin Domain.

After returned to the Primordial Immortal Domain, the group escorted Grand Turbid Daoist back to the Kirin Ancient Domain.

Before parting, Eldrin Chen inquired of Grand Turbid Daoist, "Fellow Daoist, when do you anticipate beginning your breakthrough?"

Grand Turbid Daoist pondered for a moment, his expression turning solemn. "I still have some preparations to make. What about approximately one hundred Kalpa Tribulation from now?"

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. "Then I shall first make contact with the Two Divine Emperors. If they are willing to assist, you can then dispatch an avatar to discuss the details with them personally."
