In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 365 The Secrets of the Eight Realms Councilors

Lin Chaoyang claims that his mental age has become completely old, and perhaps that is indeed the case.

Only older people would gossip about young people's relationship problems.

However, Shen Xing discovered that these top councilors were indeed very talkative, not only very talkative, but also surprisingly had a lot in common with him.

Even as the vote began, Lin Chaoyang was still somewhat reluctant to stop.

"I never expected that you would know so much about things before the Martial Arts Era."

"Just a little interest," Shen Xing said with a smile.

He had already determined that this planet was the same planet he had lived on in his previous life, and that the history of the Human Federation was his past life.

I am not a time traveler, but rather the memories and personality within my soul that have been reawakened after more than two thousand years.

From this perspective, he is actually from Lin Chaoyang's generation, and is even older than them.

"That wasn't exactly a wonderful era," Lin Chaoyang remarked. "However, the fact that we, people in the future, can look back on the past with such reminiscence shows that we've done quite well over the years."

Shen Xing nodded in agreement.

He now understands why the Human Federation is the way it is today.

Because its leaders are still the same group of people from before the Martial Arts Era.

Perhaps some of their ideas seem outdated to the younger generation, so outdated that they are no longer keeping up with the times. However, their unparalleled strength is undeniable, and they continue to maintain the progress of the entire civilization with their own will, preventing it from becoming completely unrecognizable.

Now, this mission has fallen to Shen Xing.

Just as Lin Chaoyang said, the future belongs to him.

"In my capacity as a Supreme Councilor, I formally propose that Shen Xing be granted the title of Supreme Councilor. Please vote." Lin Chaoyang said to everyone from the stands.

Immediately, every member of parliament raised their hand.

Without exception.

From this moment on, Shen Xing officially possessed the status of a Supreme Councilor, becoming the eighth councilor since the creation of humanity, and now the seventh, even ranking ahead of Wenren Caifeng and Ji Long, who have already advanced to the eighth realm.

That's right, the whole ceremony was that simple.

To become a newly elected Supreme Councilor, one only needs to meet two conditions: the consent of all Supreme Councilors and the consent of 60% of the ordinary councilors.

For Shen Xing, there was naturally no problem.

"Congratulations." Lin Chaoyang smiled at Shen Xing. "Your AI privileges have also been upgraded. How about it? Want to check out some talented young people? Maybe there'll be another one like you."

"You investigated me before?" Upon hearing this, Shen Xing immediately realized something.

"Hehe." Lin Chaoyang chuckled twice, seemingly quite pleased with himself. "Don't imagine us to be too busy. The ease and leisure of the Eight Realms far exceeds your understanding at that time. Besides, my generation is basically addicted to the internet. You can still see my alternate accounts on quite a few forums."

"." Shen Xing was indeed completely caught off guard.

You should know that when he first started cultivating, he made a lot of money by using the AI ​​anonymity function of the Human Federation.

The only risk is being discovered by the top councilors who have the highest AI privileges.

But he felt that the Supreme Councilor was such a figure that he wouldn't bother to pay attention to a nobody like him.

I didn't expect there would actually be any interest!

"So many dragon-type martial arts realms appeared all at once back then. Although they weren't very high-level, they were still quite eye-catching," a senior councilor chuckled. "We even held a small meeting back then. It was the first time we'd ever held a meeting for you, much earlier than you can imagine."

"This is really..." Shen Xing was momentarily speechless.

Unexpectedly, he had already been discovered.

He actually thought it was a sure thing.

"We originally wanted to do something, but after further investigation, we felt there was no need to do anything." Lin Chaoyang shook his head with a smile. "It won't go astray. It should be able to come to us soon. Doing something on purpose would actually pose a greater risk. But we didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

"Yes, it's too fast and too strong," another Supreme Councilor exclaimed.

Shen Xing realized that they weren't just saying these things to him casually, and his expression became slightly more serious.

As expected, Lin Chaoyang's expression turned serious, and he said directly, "Since you've reached this point so quickly and have the status of a Supreme Councilor, it's time to tell you some things."

At this moment, Shen Xing also discovered that all the other councilors had left, without him noticing.

Clearly, what I'm about to say is a secret that only the highest councilor, or rather, only the rulers of the entire Federation of Humanity, can know.

"Now, you should know the origin of martial arts and the truth about the otherworldly battlefield, right?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"That's right." Shen Xing nodded.

Tell me about it?

"Originating from another void universe, a world filled with various behemoths collided violently with the Taixu world. The behemoth world was directly dismembered, and a part of it somehow connected to our universe, creating the interdimensional battlefield. The Taixu world was severely damaged and is heading towards irreversible destruction. By the way, the collision and the connection between the interdimensional battlefield and our universe were separated by about eight thousand years."

"That's right." Lin Chaoyang nodded. "That's roughly it."

"What's the problem?" Shen Xing asked.

"Most of the events are clear, but there are two things that are very confusing." Lin Chaoyang held up two fingers. "First, why did the two worlds collide? Second, even if they collided, why is the world of giant beasts continuously connected to our universe?"

Shen Xing didn't speak, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"We didn't know the answer to this question before. We just vaguely sensed something, but we still discovered something four hundred years ago," Lin Chaoyang said in a deep voice.

Shen Xing's heart skipped a beat.

Because, four hundred years ago, it was precisely during the sacrifice of the only supreme councilor that this occurred!

The number of top councilors has been reduced from seven to six.

This matter has remained completely silent throughout the entire Federation of Humanity. However, having reached this point, Shen Xing naturally understands the impact of such an event on the entire Federation Council!

That's the eighth realm, the Great Sage!

Great Sage, how could you possibly perish so easily?

Judging from Tai Luo Long Sheng's words, the Dragon Clan fought so fiercely back then, it could even be said that they suffered a complete defeat. However, those Eighth Realm Dragon Emperors were at most seriously injured, and not a single one of them perished. They all left with the Dragon Clan.

It's easy to imagine the significance of the Eight Realms!

However, a true Great Sage has fallen in the Human Federation!

"You've already heard about the fall of that Supreme Councilor," Lin Chaoyang said, bringing up the matter. "At that time, he was the most senior martial artist in the entire Human Federation, twenty years older than me, and had experienced far more than I had. Yet, his mental age was far older than mine. His lover, his children, and his closest friends were all gone. He had no attachment to the world and no longer pursued martial arts. So, he actually sought death."

Shen Xing remained silent.

He had heard this claim before.

After getting to know Tai Luo Long Sheng, he already knew that many saints would reach this level. In a sense, this could be considered a test that short-lived species must face when evolving into long-lived species.

A test of the soul.

It has nothing to do with being powerful or not, nor is it about depression or anything like that. On the contrary, it is a different kind of spiritual transcendence.

This is because these people's self-perception is still limited to the perception of short-lived species.

Unwilling to abandon those feelings belonging to the short-lived species, unwilling to face the long years indifferently.

However, a mere two thousand years is far too early.

Generally speaking, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.

Even tens of thousands of years is too early.

However, the worlds they live in are different, and the perceptions they have, including their own personalities, are also different.

Shen Xing now believed this statement as well.

However, he also knew that why he died was not important; what mattered was how he died.

At this level, even suicide is not so easy for a martial artist, nor does it align with the spirit and the nature of life. They are more likely to choose eternal slumber, which may seem similar to death to the outside world, but in reality, there is a fundamental difference.

"We discovered traces of human intervention within the fragments of the alien beast world," Lin Chaoyang finally said, cutting to the chase.

"..." Shen Xing was not particularly surprised at this moment.

"Therefore, we made a bold hypothesis: the appearance of the interdimensional battlefield was actually manipulated by someone, perhaps one person, perhaps a group, in any case, a very powerful person who controlled the connection between the Beast World and our world," Lin Chaoyang continued. "At that time, we did not know about the existence of the Taixu World, but now it seems that perhaps the collision between the Beast World and the Taixu World was also done by this group of people."

"Did that Great Sage perish while investigating the person behind him?" Shen Xing couldn't help but ask.

"That's right." Lin Chaoyang nodded. "We discovered a space left behind by those people. It should be a place similar to a secret realm. Hao Ran decided to risk going in to investigate. Although he perished there, he left us with a lot of information."

First of all, those people did all this not without a price to pay; they were even on the verge of death at one point, because there were very powerful healing methods in that secret realm, which were designed to treat those at least at the Great Sage level.

Secondly, those people have all disappeared without a trace, but they did not completely vanish; they left around four thousand years ago. We speculate that they may have thought they had failed.

Finally, they left behind coordinates for their return, but then discovered that thing. They fought desperately to destroy it. Finding us in the endless spatial turbulence will certainly not be easy, but the fact that we've coexisted peacefully for hundreds of years is the best proof of that. However, we can't guarantee that they will never find us.

"."

Shen Xing quickly processed all of this.

It must be said that this information was somewhat shocking to him.

However, the information is already very clear.

That is, the Human Federation may very well have potential enemies in that void universe.

A formidable potential enemy!

Even more powerful than those so-called Eight Realms in the Taixu World!

"This is really not good news." Shen Xing finally couldn't help but sigh.

"If you want to enjoy rights, you have to bear responsibilities." Lin Chaoyang chuckled and patted Shen Xing on the shoulder. "We've been bearing this burden for a while, but we have to say, your appearance has given us a huge sigh of relief. We dare to guess that your secret treasure for traversing the two worlds is probably not simple. Maybe that's why those people are willing to pay any price to come to our world."

It's not surprising that people would speculate in this direction.

This is actually quite easy to guess.

After all, the contrast is just too obvious.

One is willing to let two such enormous worlds collide, while the other can travel back and forth between the two worlds silently, with extreme ease, without any pressure or restrictions.

Perhaps, what's possible to travel back and forth between two worlds isn't just two different worlds.

Even in this vast universe, Shen Xing can freely reach any location with coordinates.

Presumably, it's the same on the other side.

That's really amazing!

Moreover, the Great Sage could easily see the spatial coordinates set up by that group, but the spatial coordinates set up by Shen Xing... let alone detect them, even if you told them that the coordinates were there, they wouldn't be able to see them at all.

This is not even in the same league as the other power.

It's understandable that the people behind it would go to great lengths to pursue that power.

Not to mention, Shen Xing's current strength completely exceeded their understanding, and his potential was even greater.

"I thought things would be a bit easier now, but I didn't expect that the path of martial arts can't be stopped for even a moment," Shen Xing concluded.

"Don't worry too much." Lin Chaoyang and the others chuckled. "Your potential is there. Besides, you can leave more coordinates when you have time and create your own world. Even if things get to the worst, you can still leave a spark for our civilization and come back sooner or later."

The other top councilors standing nearby all burst into laughter.

Clearly, they were truly relaxed.

Shen Xing knew.

Compared to what they had been through, being able to ensure that the spark for a fresh start remained was already a great blessing, which is why they were so relaxed.

It has to be said that this mindset is the most powerful aspect.

Shen Xing also seemed to be infected by the laughter and started laughing too.
