Chapter 2433: You, Are Not Qualified!

"Slander! This is blatant slander! Now that the situation is settled, are you going to cast aside the bow once the birds are gone?" The furious roar of Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor echoed through the great hall.

This great hall was located on the side of the Central Realm's Divine Mountain, and was the domain of the Life Dao Ancestor.

At this moment, the hall was packed with people, each exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Not a single person present had a cultivation level below the Heavenly Human Five Declines!

Even Ni Xuan, the commander of the human army and a cultivator at the Heavenly Human Five Declines, was seated only at the lowest seat.

At the head of the hall, the Life Dao Ancestor sat in the chief seat, overlooking the world.

Facing Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor's roar, he merely said calmly, "Mystic Mechanism, calm down. Under the watchful eyes of all, letting Tianhe go—this matter, Ye Yuan should at least give everyone an explanation, shouldn't he?"

Mystic Mechanism sneered, "Explanation? What explanation do you want? Have you forgotten who won this world? Where were you Dao Ancestors when Ye Yuan faced life-and-death crises on the battlefield? Where were you when the one he loved was taken by the divine race? Now you demand an explanation from Ye Yuan—how ridiculous!"

At this moment, Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor, devoid of any expert demeanor, was utterly enraged.

After Yue Mengli took Tianhe away, the apocalyptic war finally came to an end.

This battle ultimately ended in a complete victory for the allied forces.

The divine race no longer had the strength to fight.

What remained was the life-and-death duel between the experts of the two races.

And it was at this moment that a sudden upheaval occurred on the human side.

The Life Dao Ancestor, using Ye Yuan's release of Tianhe as a pretext, suddenly launched an attack, demanding the removal of Ye Yuan from all his positions.

Furthermore, under the charge of colluding with the enemy, he sought to strip Ye Yuan of his title of Azure Sage!

Today's gathering was precisely a meeting of the high-level figures from all races of the Divine Realm to discuss this matter.

Removing Ye Yuan from his positions was easy.

But stripping Ye Yuan of his Azure Sage title was a matter of great consequence, requiring the approval of all races.

The titles of Azure and Mystic Sages shone through the ages.

How difficult it was to strip such a title.

However, the initiator was the Life Dao Ancestor, the foremost of the nine Dao Ancestors.

That changed everything.

No matter how renowned the Azure Sage was, he was now merely a junior.

But the Dao Ancestors were the supreme beings standing at the pinnacle of this world!

Yet Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor did not care about all that.

He was the son of the Mystic Sage, the master of the Jian family, and one of the few great powers in the Divine Realm.

Thus, when the Life Dao Ancestor brought up this matter, he was the first to stand in opposition.

Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor was extremely agitated, but the Life Dao Ancestor remained very calm, smiling as he said, "Heh, what role can the ordinary members of the divine race play in the apocalyptic war? To say his merits are heaven-shaking is far too alarmist, isn't it? Even if the divine army occupied the entire Divine Realm, what would that mean to beings like us?"

His words were indeed unmatched in dominance.

But what he said was also the truth!

To Dao Ancestors like them, the ordinary divine army was nothing more than ants.

No matter how many, it was useless!

With a single light remark, he erased all of Ye Yuan's contributions.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the three of us severely wounding Tianqing at the risk of our lives, where would Ye Yuan have had room to act? Of course, the three of us have long been indifferent to fame and fortune, and disdain to contend with a junior. But since he colluded with the divine race and let a great enemy escape, we can no longer turn a blind eye!" said the Fire Ancestor, his red hair blazing, in a deep voice.

"The Fire Ancestor speaks well! If we're talking about true merit, the three of us fighting Tianqing head-on is the real great achievement! Yet have we said anything until now? As for that Ye Yuan, his talent is extremely high. If he truly defects to the divine race because of a woman, that would be the real threat to our human race!" added the Water Ancestor.

Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor's heart trembled; he hadn't expected the several Dao Ancestors to have already coordinated their statements!

The nine Dao Ancestors had never been united.

For countless years, they had been in constant conflict over their respective interests.

He never imagined that at this moment, they would join forces to deal with a junior!

The consequences of this matter were even more severe than Mystic Mechanism had imagined!

With this thought, Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor's heart sank to the bottom.

It seemed the Life Dao Ancestor had come prepared!

What exactly had happened in the meantime that made the Life Dao Ancestor willing to discard Ye Yuan, this last hope, rather than rely on him?

And what shocked him even more was that the Life Dao Ancestor's move this time was not only to negate Ye Yuan's contributions but also to strip him of his Azure Sage title!

The Azure and Mystic Sages shone through the ages; the current prosperity of the human race was forged by Ye Yuan and his own father.

Colluding with the enemy?

Heh, how ridiculous!

Others might not know, but the Life Dao Ancestor had been a top-tier great power in the previous era, only a step away from the Grand Ancestor!

Could he not know about this matter?

Mystic Mechanism felt that there must be something he didn't know in between.

What exactly was the Life Dao Ancestor afraid of?

"I also think the several Dao Ancestors make sense! No one denies Ye Yuan's contributions, but the matter of colluding with the enemy is too serious; we cannot sit idly by!" echoed a Five Declines Ancestor.

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

...

More than half of the Ancestors present agreed with the Life Dao Ancestor's proposal.

Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor was stunned; the Life Dao Ancestor had clearly been planning this for a long time.

If the vast majority of Ancestor-level experts united their voices, combined with the authority of the nine Dao Ancestors, stripping the Azure Sage title was almost a foregone conclusion!

What deep scheming!

Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor knew well the underhanded dealings behind this; the Life Dao Ancestor must have secretly arranged for a long time to pull off this move today, perhaps offering great benefits to these Ancestors.

Otherwise, with the shrewdness of these old fellows, how could they so decisively side with the Life Dao Ancestor?

Suddenly, Mystic Mechanism felt a chill.

While he and Ye Yuan were rushing about and risking their lives for the future of the human race and all races, these Dao Ancestors were scheming behind their backs!

This was truly disheartening!

He wondered what Ye Yuan would think when he heard this news.

With this thought, Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor felt as if his chest was about to explode.

Times had truly changed!

In the previous era, how could such a thing have happened?

On their side, the stronger, the better!

But now, heh!

"I oppose! Lin Chaotian, you were among the first batch of geniuses to enter the Hidden World! It can be said that the Azure Sage trained you to your current status with his own hands! Now you join others to strip him of his Azure Sage title! Have you no shame? Moreover, the Azure Sage created a prosperous era that will last forever. Even if you are now a Dao Ancestor, what right do you have to remove the Azure Sage title? You, are not qualified!" Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Emperor declared firmly.

He knew these words were futile, but he had to fight!

The Azure and Mystic Sages were one entity; he had witnessed Ye Yuan's actions back then.

He could not allow the Azure Sage title to be defiled!
