Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

Superficial Galaxy

Vast and boundless, with countless stars flowing through it, it has been one of the core star systems within the territory of the Holy Martial Civilization since ancient times.

The first main star, the ancestral home of the Qi family.

"Four thousand years have passed, and the situation has deteriorated to this extent!"

After emerging from Qi Sheng's secluded retreat, Wang Sheng, guided by his servant, entered the Qi family's library. After reviewing nearly four thousand years of historical records, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sigh.

With the four civilizations joining forces to besiege the Holy Martial World Group, over several thousand years, the territory of the Holy Martial World Group has been reduced by nearly half, and its experts have suffered heavy casualties.

In order to preserve their strength, some powerful clans had no choice but to send people to fight, so they used the older generation of sleeping warriors, who had only a few years left to live, to fight in place of the clan's young prodigies.

Most of these elders had already reached the pinnacle of their cultivation and were nearing the end of their lives. They were people who were in seclusion awaiting death and spending their remaining years in peace, and they no longer needed to compete for opportunities or pursue the Great Dao.

Sending them to the front lines to fight and die in place of the clan's young prodigies was the only way for all clans to protect themselves in the chaotic world. This not only met the needs of the war and preserved the foundation of the new generation of the clan, but also maximized the preservation of the clan's living strength.

The same applies to managing a family.

On the front lines, generations of elders, generals, and senior members of the Qi family fell one after another, dying in the Star Sea, their remains never to be found.

The Qingxuan frontier lost territory one after another and retreated step by step. Many of the subordinate star systems and resource star regions that it originally controlled were all occupied by the allied forces.

The war is spreading far faster than anyone expected. The Holy Light Civilization army is now advancing with unstoppable momentum, and is already very close to the Floating Star System.

If it weren't for Wang Sheng taking out the Imperial Jade a few days ago and destroying two main gods and an entire angel legion...

Otherwise, the army of the Holy Light civilization would already be at the city gates.

The vast and prosperous Fuhua Galaxy is the birthplace of the Qi family.

On the first main star, nearly one-tenth of the land belongs to the Qi family.

The Qi family has hundreds of billions of members!

Even so, the Qi family is now in a precarious situation.

"We must reach the level of a sage as soon as possible!"

"Without achieving sainthood, one is ultimately just an ant!"

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

He no longer has a supreme treasure like the Imperial Jade to protect him.

Before a sage, no matter how strong he is, he is nothing more than a slightly larger ant, which can be easily destroyed.

Fortunately, the Tai Xuan Imperial Clan also suffered heavy losses in the Civilization War. Another Sage had fallen. In the short term, they could not spare any more Sages to deal with Wang Sheng.

In the following days,

Wang Sheng secluded himself for quiet cultivation, while also taking refuge in the Qi family's reading pavilion. He thoroughly reviewed all the battle reports, star field data, and records of power changes over the past four thousand years, completely understanding the current true situation of the Holy Martial Civilization and the Qi family.

Several days later.

A young cultivator, dressed in the finest robes of the Qi family's direct lineage, exuding a refined aura and displaying a respectful demeanor, slowly entered the pavilion and bowed deeply to Wang Sheng, who was sitting quietly reading a book.

"Senior! The patriarch has urgently summoned the clan's high-ranking members for a meeting and specifically ordered me to come and request your presence at the ancestral hall!"

The visitor was Qi Feng, a direct descendant of the Qi family. He was exceptionally talented, calm, and composed, and was highly regarded among the younger generation of the Qi family.

He entered the reading pavilion with a respectful expression.

"Lead the way!"

Wang Sheng closed the ancient scrolls and nodded.

Before Qi Sheng was seriously injured and went into seclusion, he personally issued a decree designating him as one of the core leaders of the Qi family, entrusting him with some of the Qi family's wartime authority and placing him among the high-ranking members of the clan.

This extraordinary promotion is truly astonishing.

He was, after all, an outsider, without the bloodline of the Qi family, without clan roots, and without generations of heritage. His sudden rise to a high position in the Qi family and his control of the family's power would inevitably stir up countless storms among the Qi family's upper echelons.

Qi Feng led the way, passing through layers of pavilions, ancient trees, and fields of spiritual energy. Looking at Wang Sheng beside him, who was calm, composed, and extraordinary, he hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered a reminder in a way that only the two of them could hear.

"Senior, this meeting at the ancestral hall is of utmost importance! Almost all of the clan's top leaders have gathered here, and there is undercurrent of discontent and resentment among the people."

"Elder Wan specifically asked me to convey this message to you: this meeting has caused a great uproar. Many elders, senior members, and prodigies harbor resentment. You must act with caution, be patient if possible, and avoid impulsive actions to prevent direct conflict with the clan's experts!"

"Oh?"

"Who are the top experts? Could you elaborate?"

Wang Sheng asked.

Qi Feng pondered for a moment, then whispered in a telepathic voice,

Those attending this meeting are all the top core combatants of my Qi family!

"The first one is Qi Yunxuan, a veteran war god of my Qi family! His cultivation has been firmly at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm for 60,000 years. His combat power is overwhelming, his killing is decisive, and he excels at bloody battles!"

"He once faced off against a prodigy from a collateral branch of the imperial clan, fighting a battle beyond his level and emerging victorious. He is currently the most bloodthirsty quasi-saint in our Qi family! He enjoys extremely high prestige within the clan and is deeply respected by the elders."

"The second one is Qi Sheng, a peerless prodigy who has not appeared in ten thousand years in my Qi family! His name is the same as the secluded Qi Saint Ancestor, but the characters are different."

"His talent is unparalleled throughout history, possessing a top-tier talent that is rare to find in all time. In his early years, his brilliance was too great and his Dao heart was restless. As a result, the Qi Sheng Ancestor personally sealed his cultivation and calmed his mind, preventing him from emerging into the world for ten thousand years."

"Now that the seals have been completely broken and they have returned in full force, they are the hope for the entire clan to break through to sainthood, the future pillar of the Qi family, and are expected to reach the realm of sainthood!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he interjected softly, "Emperor-level talent?"

Qi Feng nodded silently.

"Go on!"

Wang Sheng remained calm.

Emperor-level talent is indeed a prodigy among all the heavens, and it is a top-tier talent that is one in ten thousand among countless star fields and races.

Even within the major orthodox imperial clans, those with pure imperial-level talent are designated as core prodigies and nurtured with the full resources of their clan.

However, talent is ultimately just talent, not ability.

Even among those possessing Emperor-level talent, there are different grades and levels.

Even the most outstanding acquired Emperor-level talent, without the nourishment of the Supreme Emperor's Origin and the support of the orthodox Emperor's bloodline, can never rival the innate foundation of the direct descendants of the Emperor and the born Emperor's son.

In addition, seven of the ten Supreme Elders of my Qi family have arrived today!

Qi Feng continued his rapid introduction, his tone becoming increasingly serious.

"All seven Supreme Elders are veteran Quasi-Saints at the peak of their cultivation, each having lived for over 100,000 years, possessing immense experience, profound foundations, and unfathomable methods!"

"Among them, the Fourth Supreme Elder once held the unparalleled title of the strongest warrior in the same realm within the Floating Splendor Galaxy, invincible and unmatched in killing!"

"The Seventh Supreme Elder possesses exceptional talent. He once ventured out to gain experience and was personally praised by a direct descendant of the orthodox imperial clan for his innate Daoist aura and boundless potential!"

"Furthermore, my Qi family patriarch, Qi Changshan, failed to break through to the Saint Realm back then, but he did not perish!"

"Besides these top-tier combatants, there are also a group of veteran elders from the clan, and powerful experts from various branches of the Saint's direct lineage..."

Along the way, Qi Feng talked non-stop, revealing almost half of the Qi family's wealth.

Wang Sheng nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!

It is said that the Qi family suffered heavy losses, with many of its top talents dying out.

But now that they've gathered,

Good heavens, there are nearly a hundred Yang God Immortal Lords!

There are also more than a dozen quasi-saints.

With such a foundation, even in any ordinary star system, it would be a top-tier power capable of sweeping away everything and dominating a region.

whoosh...

The Qi family's ancestral land was vast.

But given Wang Sheng's speed, he quickly passed through layers of checks and arrived at the gate of the Qi Family Ancestral Hall.

"Senior, please go inside! My cultivation level is insufficient! I can only wait outside!"

Qi Feng cupped his hands in greeting.

Wang Sheng nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Qi family members around him were all looking him up and down, their eyes filled with suspicion, and they were secretly whispering among themselves.

"Is this Wang Sheng, the non-family leader whom the patriarch exceptionally promoted? He looks so young, yet he doesn't show any of the bearing of a top-tier expert!"

"An outsider, with no blood ties, no roots, and no qualifications, what right does he have to wield military power in my Qi family and be ranked above all the elders of my clan? This is outrageous!"

"I suspect something's fishy! Could it be that he's an illegitimate son the patriarch took in outside the clan, brought back specifically to pave the way for his rise to power? Otherwise, there's no way to explain this extraordinary favor!"

"This is more than outrageous! My Qi family is on the verge of collapse, with countless elders and patriarchs dying in battle. Why should an outsider reap the benefits and seize a high position in the clan?"

There are so many members of the Qi family. Some of them rely on their family background and live a life of debauchery. Even when the Holy Light Civilization has come to their doorstep, they still don't know who their own family members are!

These people, living a life of debauchery, were not highly skilled in cultivation. Their telepathic messages were crystal clear to Qi Feng, let alone Wang Sheng's.

Shut up! All of you, shut up! Talking nonsense, you're courting death!

"Stop speaking ill of our senior! Senior Wang Sheng is the Daoist partner and destined husband of our clan's Princess Ning Shuang! He is the leader personally appointed by our ancestor! How dare you ignorant juniors make wild guesses and slanders? If you dare to talk nonsense again, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be expelled from the ancestral land!"

As a group of people were sternly reprimanded by Qi Feng.

The entire room fell silent.

Many people looked shocked and envious.

This man actually married the most noble woman in their clan, Princess Ning Shuang!

Princess Ning Shuang is the most noble woman in the Qi family. She is aloof and peerless, with extraordinary talent and a steadfast Dao heart. She is revered by countless members of the clan.

To become her Daoist partner is an immense honor, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to!

"Please come in!"

The ancestral hall doors swung open with a bang, and from the depths of the hall came an old and majestic voice.

Wang Sheng didn't linger and strode inside.

creak!

After Wang Sheng went inside, the ancestral hall gate slowly closed.

Upon entering the ancestral hall, the first thing that catches the eye is an incredibly vast and magnificent giant courtyard.

This courtyard is vast and boundless, its area even exceeding the entire city of Ershui where Wang Sheng once lived. The bluestone ground is simple and heavy, covered with the mottled marks of time, bearing witness to the rise and fall of the Qi family over hundreds of millions of years.

Passing through the giant courtyard, you arrive at the main hall of the Qi Family Ancestral Temple.

The entire palace is cast from jet-black starstone, solemn, majestic, and magnificent. The halls soar into the clouds, and ancient wind chimes hang from the eaves, chiming even without wind, exuding a somber and solemn atmosphere that has been simmering for eternity.

The hall was dimly lit, with thousands of ancient candles flickering quietly, their dancing light illuminating the hall and making it appear even more profound and majestic.

The wisps of incense smoke rose from in front of the ancestral tablets, filling the main hall with thick smoke and swirling mist, which then enveloped the entire hall, making the oppressive atmosphere of the hall even more intense.

Inside the main hall, the order was strict and the layout was orderly.

Below the walls on both sides of the main hall, a densely packed group of high-ranking members of the Qi family stood.

Nearly a hundred Yang God Immortals stood quietly on both sides, their auras restrained and their expressions solemn, without uttering a word.

More than a dozen powerful beings at the Quasi-Saint level took their seats on the prayer mats on either side below the main steps. They stood tall and straight, their auras were calm and composed, and a faint Quasi-Saint pressure flowed around them.

In the most prestigious central seat of the entire hall sat an elderly man.

The old man had a full head of white hair, a weathered and ancient face, and eyes as sharp as an eagle and as deep as an abyss, exuding the supreme majesty of a clan leader.

He is Qi Changshan, the current head of the Qi family!

The moment Wang Sheng stepped across the threshold and entered the palace.

Inside the main hall, almost at the same time, all the standing Yang Gods and all the seated Quasi-Saints raised their eyes, their gazes like torches, all locking onto Wang Sheng alone!

Hundreds of gazes, filled with oppression, scrutiny, conflict, and majesty, converged and enveloped Wang Sheng's entire body.

The solemn hall, which had been filled with the faint sound of breathing, instantly fell into absolute silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The gazes of high-level experts intertwined into an invisible giant net, carrying the immense pressure of Quasi-Saints and Yang Gods, making it extremely heavy.

Such a terrifying aura would surely cause ordinary cultivators, or even ordinary quasi-saints, to tremble and feel stiff and uncomfortable if they were in this place.

But Wang Sheng seemed oblivious, glanced at everyone, and spoke.

"Where is my seat?"

"Or are you planning to test me, to make me knock one of you down before I can sit on the throne!"

hum...

The entire palace trembled.

The expressions of all the Qi family experts on both sides suddenly hardened, and their faces turned furious.

His aura exploded instantly, and the vast and powerful pressure of a quasi-saint and the aura of a divine lord swept through the entire hall, with undercurrents surging and killing intent lurking!

Wang Sheng's words were direct and domineering, forcefully shattering the atmosphere that was still trying to maintain a facade.

Wang Sheng, an outsider, became the leader of the Qi family.

Unfortunately, the sage returned severely injured, leaving behind only a few words before going into seclusion.

How could the Qi family's top executives accept this?

Therefore, they naturally wanted to give Wang Sheng a hard time.

just,

Wang Sheng was too lazy to waste time.

Let's be frank and say it outright.

If it weren't for Qi Sheng's request, and the fact that Qi Sheng had indeed helped him a lot, he wouldn't have been able to get this help.

Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with anything related to the so-called Qi family.

The fact that he can stand here and talk to these old guys is already a favor to the Qi family.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Wang Sheng has misunderstood!"

Qi Changshan wanted to ease the tension.

"What misunderstanding!"

Qi Yunxuan, the War God of the Qi family, stepped forward and said coldly, "Wang Sheng, since you want to be this leader, then show me some ability! Otherwise, they may agree, but my divine powers will not!"

Qi Yunxuan completely abandoned all pretense of civility.

Before Wang Sheng could speak,

Another person said,

"good!"

"We cannot refute the words of the sage. But Fellow Daoist Wang Sheng, shouldn't you demonstrate some of your abilities?"

"oh!"

"You really want to hit me, don't you!"

"I'm happy to oblige!"

Qi Sheng, the prodigy of the Qi family, also stood up and sneered.

He was recognized as the clan's number one prodigy, with unparalleled talent.

Now an outsider wants to lead him, how can he tolerate this!

The patriarch, the other supreme elders, ordinary elders, quasi-saints, and Yang Shen Immortal Lords all remained indifferent, showing no intention of interrupting or speaking out.

Wang Sheng nodded decisively, "You two come at me together. It'll save us time!"

"snort!"

"Young man, don't be so arrogant!"

One of the hot-tempered elders, who was already holding back his anger and resentment towards Wang Sheng, could no longer contain his rage upon seeing Wang Sheng's arrogance. He suddenly stood up and shouted.

"If you want to join, come on over. We don't need you!"

Wang Sheng glanced at the Supreme Elder and said indifferently.

"Insolence! You're asking for death!"

Qi Yunxuan's face suddenly turned ashen, and his killing intent surged.

Wang Sheng clearly didn't take him, the God of War, seriously!

"Hahaha, what an arrogant and ignorant brat!"

Qi Sheng's lips curled into a sinister smirk, his eyes both mocking and icy.

"I'm really afraid I'll hit you too hard and accidentally kill you. If that angers Ancestor Qi Sheng, that would be terrible!"

Wang Sheng was about to speak

suddenly,

The entire sky above the First Star suddenly shone brightly!

Endless, dazzling golden rays of light pierced through layers of clouds and crossed countless stars, instantly covering the entire sky above the ancestral land of the Qi family!

A golden beam of light, stretching across thousands of miles of starry sky, crashed down and hovered in mid-air above the Qi family's ancestral land!

Countless glittering golden characters materialized out of thin air, their strokes flowing like dragons and snakes, their Taoist charm boundless, their sacredness imprinted upon the heavens, illuminating eternity and reflecting the myriad realms!

The magnificent and resounding Heavenly Dao Sound, which echoed throughout the entire galaxy, resounded throughout the heavens and earth, reaching every corner of the Qi family ancestral hall and the ears of every powerful individual!

"Wang Sheng, the Valley Master of Hidden Flower Valley and husband of Princess Ning Shuang, slew forty-three Angel Kings and Top-Tier Angel Kings in the Battle of the Vast Sea Star System. He annihilated an entire angelic legion. He also assisted in the killing of two main gods and one saint! His merits are immeasurable! He is hereby awarded the position of Imperial Prince (not of the same surname)!!!"

moment.

The entire ancestral land of the Qi family fell into a deathly silence.

Inside the ancestral hall,

It was extremely quiet; even breathing was barely audible!
