"Ancestor, it's not that I disrespect you, but although you are our Ye family's ancestor and the founder of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, you seem to have never considered that this era is not yours anymore. Let's not even talk about anything else, just the issue of resources. The Flying Immortal Continent is a closed world; the resources of this small world alone are simply not enough. As the saying goes, survival of the fittest. If we don't compete and live in peace, the final result will still be extinction. Do you want the Ye family to perish, or someone else to perish?"
"I know you have objections to our annihilation of the Lin family and our conflicts with other countries, but it takes two to tango. If they had considered the bigger picture, would things have turned out this way?"
"For example, when the Yun Kingdom was not divided, our Yun Kingdom was so prosperous, with almost no wars. It could be called a golden age. It was those kings who were selfish and self-serving. For the sake of their own little bit of power, they insisted on dividing the Yun Kingdom, which eventually led to the establishment of many countries and constant conflicts."
"I think our Ye family is at fault, but you can't just blame us." Ye Haoyang had actually figured out where Ye Liuyun's displeasure came from. It wasn't just a simple offense, but a much bigger reason.
Ye Liuyun wasn't angry at the kid's words; on the contrary, he found the guy rather interesting.
"Hehe, kid, you're quite outspoken. But why do you think I haven't thought about these issues?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
Ye Haoyang was taken aback.
"Not going to say anything? Kid, don't think you're smart and everyone else is a fool. I've already sent people to contact the neighboring countries and told them my thoughts. I plan to take you away from this world only after resolving the conflicts and contradictions between you. If they aren't resolved, then you can stay in this small world and fight yourselves until you disappear into the dust of history. That's my plan," Ye Liuyun said directly.
The message was clear: Ye Liuyun was asking them if they needed her, their ancestor, to intervene in their affairs. If they did, she would intervene; if not, they could do as they pleased.
Ye Haoyang was at a loss for words. However, judging from this guy's behavior, he was a straightforward person, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say these things in this kind of situation.
Time slowly passed, and half an hour later, more and more members of the royal family arrived from outside. Finally, when Ye Hui, who had met Ye Liuyun not long ago, hurriedly entered the main hall, his expression immediately froze.
He looked at the silver-haired, blue-eyed woman sitting on the throne with some disbelief.
All eyes were on him, filled with sympathy, blame, and schadenfreude.
The second prince, Ye Hui, was very worried at this moment. He was worried that he would lose the rights that he should have had because of this matter.
But since things had come to this, there was no point in saying more. He strolled over to Ye Liuyun and then knelt down with a thud.
"Ye Hui, a descendant of the Ye family, has offended our ancestors. We beg our ancestors to punish him." Although Ye Hui was a playboy, he understood that his status was nothing compared to the person in front of him. A single word from the other party could make him disappear from this world.
Ye Liuyun would never do such a thing.
"Hehe, kid, this morning I really wanted to tell you something: even when I was the master of the Immortal Realm, I wasn't as glamorous as you. You had to clear the area when you went out and people had to bow to you. You're really something." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
These words made Ye Hui feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he lowered his head even further.
"However, I also know that you are definitely not the only one who has done this. Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who is harsh. I am just using you as an example to tell others that this kind of privilege is not something you should have. What contributions have you younger generations made to Yun Kingdom? And why should you be worshipped by others just because you were born into a good family?"
“I’m not just saying this to you. You all need to hear it clearly. I don’t care what others do, but since you are my descendants, I will definitely speak up if I don’t like it. If you don’t listen, that’s fine with you, but I don’t acknowledge those Ye family members as my descendants. Think it over before you speak. I’m leaving.”
After saying this, Ye Liuyun glanced at Ye Qinglu, who nodded and then disappeared into thin air with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun still had no intention of rewarding these juniors with anything. When they reappeared, they were already at the location of Ye Qinglu's true form.
"Ugh! This is really frustrating," Ye Liuyun sighed after leaving Yundu.
"Hehe, if you didn't want to get involved in their affairs, you wouldn't be so upset."
Ye Qinglu smiled.
Ye Liuyun shrugged.
"I say I don't want to get involved, and I know in my heart I shouldn't interfere, but looking at their behavior, I can't help but want to reprimand them. After all, I don't want my descendants to disappear into the dust of history. Let's see if they can understand. If they can, I don't mind helping them again. If they are stubborn and still indulging in the rights given to them by their ancestors, then forget it," Ye Liuyun sighed.
After Ye Liuyun and the others left, the main hall of the Yun Kingdom's palace remained completely silent. They had given him a thorough dressing-down, and Ye Liuyun's insults were particularly vulgar. Why were they so vulgar? Because Ye Liuyun's words conveyed the same message: he looked down on his descendants.
Imagine if your ancestor crawled out of his grave and said he didn't want to acknowledge you as his descendant. How would you feel? Wouldn't that be equivalent to completely denying your existence?
"Do we, the descendants of the Ye family, really make our ancestors feel ashamed?" Some of the young and impetuous members of the Ye family couldn't help but ask.
This sentence can be said to have ignited the pent-up frustration in many people's hearts.
After all, Ye Liuyun hadn't given them a kind look since he appeared, and many of them didn't know what they had done wrong. Even after being scolded by Ye Liuyun, many of them still didn't understand why.
"Shut your mouth. If you don't understand what our ancestor meant, then think carefully about what she meant and stop talking nonsense." Ye Qiulin glared at the boy.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Haotian again.
"Ye Haotian, I don't want to get involved in your mess. You can decide what to do yourselves. Before our ancestor left, she secretly left me a message. She said she wanted peace, based on the results of your negotiations with other countries. If you can give her peace and happiness, then everything will be fine. If not, after the Flying Immortal Continent leaves this world, the Ye family of the Flying Immortal Continent will have nothing to do with her anymore. You can continue to be your royal family, while she will rebuild the Immortal Realm of Longevity." Ye Qiulin told them what Ye Liuyun had said.
"Alright, Ye Haotian, I'm leaving the rest to you. After all, you're the nominal head of the family, so you can do whatever you want. If Grandma is unhappy in the end and doesn't want to acknowledge you descendants, then I won't acknowledge you descendants either. After all, my relationship with you seems quite distant." After saying this, Ye Qiulin disappeared.
If they can still make a name for themselves after leaving the protection of their elders, that's their own ability. Ye Liuyun gave them two choices: one is to be self-reliant, and the other is to obediently continue to accept the protection of their ancestors.
Meanwhile, looking at the surrounding countries, Ye Liuyun had already completed the task that the Nirvana cultivator had asked him to do.
Therefore, all the royal families of all countries and the sects that belonged to the Immortal Realm of Immortality have received news of their ancestor's return.
For example, at this moment, in a magnificent palace in the Jin Kingdom.
The high-ranking members of the Jin family's royal family have all gathered at their ancestral hall.
"The Ancestor has actually returned? What are your thoughts? Should we choose to return to the Ancestor's command, or go independent? The Ancestor said he respects our choice. Also, the Ancestor is preparing to take the Flying Immortal Continent back to its original place." Several Nirvana cultivators were also sitting here with the Jin family.
They are the current rulers of the Jin Dynasty. The Jin family was founded by the descendants of the Wanbaolou lineage.
Chapter 855 All Nations Gather (5K)
The descendants of the Jin family can be said to be the last to choose independence, because among the few who split off, the Jin family had the best ancestral relationship with Ye Liuyun.
However, the rulers of Yun Kingdom at that time were really too arrogant. They did many things that were unacceptable to the other side, which led to constant conflicts and accumulated grudges, and they almost all became enemies.
"It's a good thing that the Ancestor has returned, but the problem is, after all, the Ancestor is the ancestor of the Ye family. Will she really treat us, the descendants of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, fairly? In the end, all of us nations have betrayed the Ye family of the Yun Kingdom." This was the first question raised by the Golden Clan Celestial.
Ye Liuyun's return was too sudden. Although they had spies in Yundu, they had only received the news not long ago.
"I don't know, but the Ancestor doesn't seem too happy. He's kept the Ye family waiting for a long time. With the power the Ancestor has shown, it's enough to overturn the entire Flying Immortal Continent. In any case, we think we should still send someone to contact the Ancestor," the Golden Emperor said.
We definitely have to go, but deciding who to send is another question.
"What is the attitude of the other six countries? Are they willing to acknowledge this ancestor from 90,000 years ago?" another Nirvana cultivator asked.
Unlike the Ye family, they had been divided for so many years and had long lost their sense of belonging to the original Immortal Realm. In addition, having been the royal family of the Jin Kingdom for so many years, it was no easy task to make them return to submission all at once.
"Of the six kingdoms, Qing and Lan seem to have already sent envoys to meet the progenitor, while the other kingdoms appear to be observing," the Golden Emperor replied.
These words made the Heavenly Beings of the Golden Kingdom look rather conflicted. They must already know that after Ye Liuyun returned, he bestowed many treasures upon the descendants of those immortal beings in the Longevity Immortal Realm. Even those forces with only the Nascent Soul level in charge received a generous gift.
They must be craving this too.
“Ancestor, I think we should send an envoy there as soon as possible. No matter what we think, no matter what the Ancestor’s attitude towards us, we have no way to refuse. The Ancestor’s high-profile appearance above Yundu releases power far exceeding that of the Nirvana Realm,” the Jin Clan Chief suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Then I'll have to go myself; it's not appropriate to send anyone else," Jin Guotianren said with a melancholy expression.
The Celestial Being of the Jin Kingdom is the highest fighting force in the Jin Kingdom and the true holder of power. When he goes to the Yun Kingdom to pay respects to Ye Liuyun, if Ye Liuyun has any orders, he can make a choice immediately. If he sends someone else, they will not be able to make a choice in time.
Soon, a day later, the main hall of the Yun Kingdom's palace was filled with cultivators. Among them were the highest-ranking descendants of the Longevity Immortal Realm within the Yun Kingdom, the least successful in terms of lineage were those at the Four Extremes Realm, and there were also many unfamiliar faces, who must have been from the surrounding countries.
Not only did people from the seven major countries come, but people from the smaller countries also came.
The atmosphere was quite tense, with hostility between the countries. They were glaring at each other, and if this were in any other situation, many of them would probably have started a fight.
Between them, there is at least a period of enmity spanning 20,000 years, and there is even a life-and-death feud, a feud that could lead to the extermination of their entire clan.
For example, the Lin family, whose members fled to other countries, also had several Nirvana Realm experts present today. These individuals were currently staring angrily at the Ye family's higher-ups.
"Ye Conglong, you didn't expect this, did you? We're back again." A Nirvana Realm peak expert from the Lei Guo Lin family branch looked at Ye Conglong, who was sitting opposite him, with a fierce aura.
"Lin Mofeng, your Lin family is not innocent either. Don't act as if our Ye family is deliberately targeting you. Out of respect for our ancestors, our Ye family has already been lenient by not exterminating your Lin family," Ye Conglong replied in a deep voice.
These words immediately ignited a powder keg in the room.
"Stop twisting the truth. Yes, our Lin family did secretly contact several countries back then and even considered overthrowing the Yun Kingdom's regime. But don't forget, who was forcing us? Wasn't it you? Put yourself in our shoes. If your Ye family were in the same situation as our Lin family back then, I don't think you'd be much better off." Lin Mofeng of the Lin family sneered.
“That’s right, Ye Conglong, why don’t you think about it? In the past 20,000 years, your Ye Clan of Yun Kingdom went from unifying the Flying Immortal Continent to being betrayed by everyone. Is it really our fault? And what about Ye Qiulin? Is she just not allowed to be here?” Lei Kingdom Celestial asked.
As soon as the Celestial Being from Lei Kingdom spoke, the Celestial Beings and Nirvana cultivators from the other countries began to verbally attack the Ye family's experts. They listed the Ye family's misdeeds over the past 20,000 years. In the eyes of the seven countries, the Ye family was full of bad deeds, ruthless, greedy, and selfish, and had almost no redeeming qualities.
These words made Ye Conglong and his family members blush with embarrassment. They couldn't even find a reason to refute them. Perhaps the only reason they could refute them was that they were doing this for the peace of the Flying Immortal Continent.
But this reason is actually very difficult to convince people.
Because there is only one solution to this kind of situation: either the Ye family has to give up their rights, or the other countries and forces have to give up theirs. That's the only possibility.
The problem is that if these two approaches were in Ye Liuyun's era, or at the very beginning of the Flying Immortal Continent, perhaps they could have reached a consensus based on their mutual bonds and trust.
However, with the passing of the elders, such a consensus becomes extremely difficult. Under normal circumstances, relationships would already be strained after three generations, let alone the fact that at least thirteen generations have passed in their case, since Ye Qiulin is the oldest among them.
The palace quickly turned into a marketplace, not only because various countries were blaming Yun Kingdom, but also because they were all blaming each other for their own population and other resources.
The reason why the emperor of Yun Kingdom wanted to abolish their country's name and reclaim their territory was because these major powers had been fighting each other for various interests for many years. The emperor wanted to mediate, but no one listened to them. They agreed on the surface, but the next day they would still fight.
This infuriated the emperor at the time. Lei Kingdom was the strongest country besides Yun Kingdom, and it was involved in almost every conflict. Therefore, Yun Kingdom's first target was Yun Kingdom.
Theoretically speaking, the emperor of Yun Kingdom did not do anything wrong back then.
Unfortunately, Lei Kingdom was already quite powerful at that time, and Yun Kingdom was unable to defeat them, ultimately getting itself trapped.
It can only be said that everyone has their own thoughts.
Why did Lei Kingdom do this at the time? The reason is simple: the region where Lei Kingdom was located was a relatively resource-scarce area, and in order to survive, they had no choice but to plunder the surrounding areas.
Moreover, the royal family of Lei Kingdom did not intervene at the time. The sects within Lei Kingdom that infiltrated other countries' territories to search for resources did not do so openly. It was only later that they were discovered, and then they began to accuse Lei Kingdom of not following the rules.
Lei Guo had no way to express his grievances at the time, which was due to the uneven distribution of resources.
And since they didn't want to share any with Lei Guo, that's the result.
Lei Kingdom gradually grew stronger by seizing resources. After tasting the benefits, the forces within Lei Kingdom became increasingly blatant. However, they never touched Yun Kingdom's resources, so they still had some bottom lines.
Looking at Ye Liuyun, he was currently using Ye Qinglu's power to observe the argument within the Yun Kingdom's palace.
Ye Liuyun found it incredibly frustrating, because in her eyes, this group of people was like a bunch of children having a fight, and each of them had their own reasons. Her job was to keep the other person in check.
"Indeed, the most troublesome and unsolvable thing in the world is family matters," Ye Liuyun sighed.
"Hehe, sister, so what are you planning to do? To be honest, there aren't many things that can give you a headache or make you feel troubled." Ye Qinglu said with a smile.
"Let them argue for a while, and we'll talk when they're tired of arguing." Ye Liuyun didn't plan to go over now.
When people are angry, no amount of talking will help. Even if she uses her status and intimidation to deter these guys, it can only make them behave on the surface and cannot actually solve the problem.
Time passed slowly, and soon an hour had gone by.
The arguing in the palace hall had almost completely stopped. Everyone was parched and panting, sulking. They weren't physically tired, but mentally exhausted.
When they get tired, it will be Ye Liuyun's turn to appear.
"Hehe, are you all tired? Do you want to continue arguing for a while? I'll wait until you've vented all your grievances before I come out." Just as everyone was silent, a clear laugh suddenly rang out in the hall.
The moment the sound rang out, everyone present jumped and immediately stood up.
Ye Qiulin also appeared immediately.
After Ye Qiulin appeared, Ye Liuyun and Ye Qinglu also appeared out of thin air on the imperial throne platform.
The cultivators present were extremely shocked when they saw Ye Liuyun, as it was the first time they had seen his true face, which was exactly the same as the portrait they had kept.
"Welcome, Ancestor." The Ye and Lin families bowed to Ye Liuyun without hesitation.
They had no hesitation about Ye Liuyun's identity.
The other descendants of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, even with some doubts and suspicions, still quickly adopted the proper demeanor.
"Greetings, Ancestor." The cultivator from the Immortal Realm of Longevity also bowed.
Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and then sat down.
"Alright, no need for formalities," Ye Liuyun said.
Upon hearing this, everyone slowly straightened up and began to carefully examine Ye Liuyun.
This is a legendary figure, their ancestor from 90,000 years ago.
"Judging from your expression, do you doubt my identity? I won't waste any more time. I'll show you something, and you can each claim it." Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and then took out a special pill.
After taking out the pill, Ye Liuyun casually squeezed it, and the next moment, everyone present seemed to be swept into time and space, as if they had returned to the most prosperous era of the Immortal Realm.
Standing before them were many young faces, all of whom were at least Nirvana Realm cultivators. These people were the masters of the various branches of the Immortal Realm in the past, and also the core members of the Immortal Realm.
They were like a high-definition photograph, and the people in it all looked like real people. They stood around Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue like stars surrounding the moon.
This is a group photo from back then, which Ye Liuyun recorded using a special elixir, because she was afraid that one day she would forget all her friends.
And those present could basically find the founding ancestor of their respective forces in these photos.
After showing them for a while, Ye Liuyun withdrew the power of the pill.
"Alright, everyone, you've all seen it, haven't you?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Those present who doubted Ye Liuyun's identity were immediately filled with shame.
"Jin Haixin, a descendant of the Jin family, pays respects to the progenitor. Progenitor, we descendants never expected to have the honor of meeting the progenitor in person. This is truly a blessing earned through three lifetimes of good deeds." A woman dressed in a gold and red dress suddenly knelt down before Ye Liuyun. It was very sudden, and the moment she knelt down, she showered him with compliments.
