Chapter 900: Go All In
He was an unparalleled prodigy who rose against the heavens with his own power, breaking through the Dao and rising up above it. He then created an unprecedentedly glorious civilization—the Zhaowu Civilization.
The prodigy was none other than Dao Emperor Zhaowu.
Dao Emperor Zhaowu was also known as "Invincible Across the Eight Desolate Lands, the Lord of Zhaowu."
Needless to say, he was a legendary figure, especially in his own civilization.
However, for reasons unknown, the Zhaowu Civilization suddenly declined, and Dao Emperor Zhaowu disappeared without a trace. There were rumors that the Zhaowu Civilization fought the Tianxing Civilization, which led to Dao Emperor Zhaowu\'s death.
Of course, no one knew the true reason behind his disappearance.
Eventually, the Zhaowu Civilization evolved to become the Nine Clans of Zhaowu. Many of these clans were able to rise to power thanks to the legacies that he had left behind.
The beautiful lady behind the counter had never expected to encounter such a legendary figure, and she was much more surprised to find that he had somehow become the Fourth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance.
And how come he was so young? What was going on? The beautiful lady was confused.
The black-robed man turned to look at the beautiful lady and smiled. "Tianwu Clan?"
The beautiful lady dared not hesitate. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Tianwu Xin, the Ninth Elder of the Tianwu Clan, greets Dao Emperor Zhaowu."
The black-robed man took a sip from his wine cup. "How is Tianwu Shi doing nowadays?"
Tianwu Shi?! Tianwu Xin was shocked.
Tianwu Shi was an ancestor of the Tianwu Clan. "Senior, you know my ancestor?"
"I noticed his extraordinary talent many years ago, so I offered him some guidance," the black-robed man replied calmly.
"Our ancestor died in action against the Tianxing Civilization."
"Tianxing Civilization..." the man in the black robe muttered with a complicated light in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and downed his wine.
Seeing that, Tianwu Xin hurriedly moved next to him and refilled his cup personally.
The black-robed man smiled and said, "I heard has been here. Is it true?"
Tianwu Xin nodded. "Yes."
"And?"
"He is a young talent with impressive strength. Compared to you, however, he\'s not worth mentioning."
"You might be underestimating him."
Tianwu Xin remained silent.
"Years ago, the Supreme Master of Zhaowu once divined my fate and said that after my ninth reincarnation, I would face a tribulation," Dao Emperor Zhaowu explained, "If I could overcome it, I\'d advance further and become the strongest expert in history.
"Otherwise, I would die along with my Dao. Later, I asked him to clarify, and he told me that in my ninth life, I would encounter a certain young man. This life happens to be my ninth, and I initially thought my tribulation would come from Chen Suiye of the Eternal Time Clan.
"However, it seems that it could also be Young Master Ye."
"It is impossible for it to be Young Master Ye," the beautiful lady said solemnly.
"Why do you think so?"
"Young Master Ye is indeed impressive, but he\'s only a full divinity expert. His cultivation base is too low. He\'s inferior even to Chen Suiye, much less to you. After all, Chen Suiye is famous for being born in response to a certain Dao, and he has a Time Divine Physique..."
"How do I compare to Chen Suiye?" asked Dao Emperor Zhaowu.
Before Tianwu Xin could respond, Dao Emperor Zhaowu smiled and added, "I shouldn\'t be comparing myself with the younger generation. It\'s indeed somewhat unfair."
"I heard a certain rumor," Tianwu Xin said, "Apparently, Ye Guan\'s father is a powerful being above the Path Creation Realm."
"Above the Path Creation Realm?" Dao Emperor Zhaowu replied, "It\'s nothing special."
Tianwu Xin\'s eyelids twitched, and she remained silent.
The black-robed man took a sip of his wine and said, "Even though Ye Guan is not as remarkable as Chen Suiye, he should not be underestimated."
"If you wish to kill him, our Tianwu Clan is willing to lend a hand," Tianwu Xin said.
Dao Emperor Zhaowu looked at Tianwu Xin and came up with an idea.
If he could bring the Nine Clans of Zhaowu under his control, it would be great. His special cultivation method meant that he had yet to reach his peak. If he were to obtain more powerful allies, he\'d be saved from considerable trouble, and his influence within the Evil Dao Alliance would increase.
Most importantly, he hoped that there would be more witnesses to the most brilliant moment of his life. A tribulation? The Supreme Master of Zhaowu told him that he just had to overcome that tribulation, and he would be able to reach new heights.
However, there was also another option—avoid the tribulation altogether. However, Dao Emperor Zhaowu disliked the idea; tribulations were meant to be faced head-on. He\'d confront the tribulation and clear all obstacles in his path to reach the pinnacle of the world in the most domineering way!
Dao Emperor Zhaowu smiled at the beautiful lady and asked, "Can you make the decision for the Tianwu Clan?"
"I cannot, but I believe our clan leader will make the right choice," replied Tianwu Xin.
Dao Emperor Zhaowu nodded slightly and said, "Have your clan leader come meet me. Help me contact the remaining eight clans as well. Contact as many people as you can."
Tianwu Xin bowed deeply and was about to leave when Dao Emperor Zhaowu added, "Tell them that if they are willing to help, I am willing to share the Zhaowu Scripture with them. One will be able to go beyond the Path Creation Realm with the help of the Zhaowu Scripture."
Tianwu Xin\'s eyes widened in surprise. She bowed deeply once again and turned around to leave.
Just then, one of the swordsmen behind Dao Emperor Zhaowu said, "Dao Emperor, killing that young man is as easy as flipping a hand for you. Why do we need to involve them in this affair?"
Dao Emperor Zhaowu poured himself another glass of wine and took a sip of it. "If it were only about killing that young man, why would I issue orders for you to traverse tens of thousands of star fields to come here?"
The swordsman said, "Are you thinking of eliminating those behind him?"
"I\'m also thinking of eliminating the True God of the True Universe. What? Do you really think that a mere Ye Guan is worthy of my personal involvement?"
"I heard the True God has managed to suppress her divinity with humanity..."
"That\'s true. What? Are you scared?"
"We have never been afraid of anything. When do we start? Let us take the lead. I\'m also curious about the True God\'s might."
"No rush. Let\'s deal with this so-called Ye Guan first."
The swordsman nodded and stepped aside.
Dao Emperor Zhaowu turned to the window, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. "My tribulation? I must admit, I\'m looking forward to it..."

Tianwu Xin returned to the Tianwu World and immediately requested an audience with the Clan leader of the Tianwu Clan, Tianwu Ling. Upon conveying Dao Emperor Zhaowu\'s intentions, Tianwu Ling summoned all the top experts of the clan.
More than twenty core elders of the Tianwu Clan were present in the Tianwu Hall.
Tianwu Ling looked at everyone and asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
An elder in a black robe on the left side stepped forward and solemnly said, "Clan Leader, this indeed seems like a big opportunity for our Tianwu Clan, but I have some concerns regarding Ye Guan."
Tianwu Ling nodded slightly. "Go on."
"Ye Guan managed to make the Evil Dao Alliance go to such lengths, so I believe he\'s not an ordinary individual," the black-robed elder said, "We have no information about the forces and the power behind him. If we rashly stand against him, the risks are—"
Tianwu Xin stood up and said, "Third Elder, your concerns are completely unnecessary. I have investigated thoroughly, and the claim that Ye Guan\'s father is a figure above the Path Creation Realm is merely a rumor spread deliberately by the Jimo Clan to confuse and mislead others."
The black-robed elder said in a deep voice, "The Tianxing Flame..."
"As for the Tianxing Flame," Tianwu Xin said, smiling. "I investigated it as well. It turns out that the Tianxing Flame is fake—they made it to deceive their enemies. If it were real, why wouldn\'t he just throw it directly at the Evil Dao Alliance and be done with it?"
The black-robed elder stared deeply at Tianwu Xin and said, "Ninth Elder, according to what I know, the Evil Dao Alliance\'s Tenth Hall once attempted to kill Ye Guan, but he ended up getting obliterated along with the members of the Tenth Hall. How do you explain that?"
"Easy," Tianwu Xin said, "I didn\'t say that Ye Guan has no backers, nor did I say that his backers are weak. The people behind him are definitely powerful, but who do you think is stronger, Third Elder? The people behind Ye Guan or the Dao Emperor?"
The black-robed elder fell silent. The Dao Emperor! He was nothing short of a legendary figure, and he was unrivaled during his era.
"And there\'s another point," Tianwu Xin said, "The Dao Emperor is strong, but he\'s only the Fourth Hall Master. Just imagine how terrifying the first three Hall Masters must be."
The expressions of everyone in the hall grew heavy. Indeed, they had overlooked that fact.
Their knowledge about the Evil Dao Alliance was limited, so they were unaware of its true power. All they knew was that it was a mysterious organization. The Dao Emperor\'s appearance as the Fourth Hall Master, however, made them realize that the Evil Dao Alliance was far more terrifying than they could ever imagine!
The Dao Emperor—once considered invincible in this universe region—was only the Fourth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance. It was simply absurd!
Tianwu Xin swept her gaze across everyone and said, "Everyone, if we want to restore the Tianwu Clan\'s glory, we need the help of a powerful backer. The Dao Emperor and the Evil Dao Alliance have presented our Tianwu Clan with an opportunity that we must seize.
"If we miss this chance, our Tianwu Clan will have no hope of ever returning to its former glory in this lifetime..."
Tianwu Xin turned to Tianwu Ling, who remained silent for a while before saying, "Gather all of our clan\'s Path Creation Realm cultivators. We\'ll set out for the Ascension World in an hour."
All the Path Creation Realm cultivators! Everyone was shocked.
Tianwu Ling\'s eyes narrowed slightly. "We\'re gambling, so it\'s either we go big or go home. And if we want to go big, then we have to go all-in!"
All in! They had to go all in!
