Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 293: Increased in World Providence
In an unknown corner of the world, hidden within the walls of an ancient building steeped in the mists of forgotten times, a group of elders known as the council convened.
They sat around a weathered table, their expressions solemn as they deliberated the fate of their realm.
At the center of the table hovered a figure shrouded in swirling black mist, its form obscured from view. None dared to meet its gaze, for the aura emanating from it was unsettling, instilling a sense of dread in all who beheld it.
Below, in the ancient council chamber, the elders focused their attention on one another, their minds racing with thoughts and concerns. It was clear that the situation was dire, and action needed to be taken swiftly.
"We must act decisively," declared an old woman, her voice carrying the weight of centuries. "The threat we face grows more perilous with each passing day."
"What do you propose, Elder?" inquired an aged man, his voice tinged with apprehension.
"I believe it is time to take drastic measures," the woman replied, her tone grave. "We cannot afford to wait any longer. If we do not act now, we risk losing not only our empire but the entire continent."
Her words hung heavy in the air, casting a pall over the council chamber. It was evident that the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on each member present.
"That cannot happen. We have fought long and hard to gain control of the continent. Moreover, with their Emperor in our grasp, victory should be assured. The only anomaly is that forsaken barren land," added another old man, his voice tinged with frustration.
"Indeed. The barren lands are spreading their influence rapidly, and we must take decisive action to counter them," the old woman nodded in agreement, her expression grave.
"They are on the verge of seizing the eighteenth state, and if we do not act swiftly, they will continue to expand their territory unopposed. We cannot allow this to happen," voiced another elder, her concern evident in her tone.
"Should we deploy the Reapers to deal with them?" suggested another elder, his voice filled with resolve.
Looking at the group of old men and women with one foot in the grave supporting each other because of a weak, tiny, forsaken barren land.
This was the first time they were on the same page since they formed the alliance over a millennium.
"Remember, they've destroyed one of the Reaper's hideouts. Sending the Reapers seems to be a waste of time to me. We must find a way to destroy them once and for all," interjected an old man, his voice laced with urgency.
As his words hung in the air, a collective sigh escaped from the assembled elders. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily upon them, and the emergence of a powerful expert from the seemingly weak barren lands had presented them with an unexpected challenge.
"What about the Monster Race?" inquired another elder, breaking the tense silence that followed.
"They are currently furious with us. We failed to uphold our end of the bargain, and now they feel betrayed on all sides," one of the two old women replied, her voice tinged with regret.
"This is not the time for division. Our highest priority should be dealing with the threat posed by the barren lands.
We must assure the Monster Race that we will make amends once this crisis has been averted.
For now, we must unite our forces and confront our common enemy," suggested another elder, his words carrying the weight of authority.
With a collective nod of agreement, the council resolved to set aside their differences and focus their efforts on neutralizing the threat posed by the barren lands.
"How many years have we been waiting for this opportunity?" an old man said, his voice tinged with longing as he gazed at his fellow council members.
As his words resonated through the chamber, each elder bore the look of yearning upon their faces.
They had endured countless sacrifices and hardships in pursuit of this golden chance, and now, it was finally within their grasp.
However, their moment of anticipation was abruptly shattered when the entity hovering above them began to tremble violently.
It caused the ancient building to quake as if it were on the verge of collapse.
Startled, the council members rose to their feet in alarm, their expressions a mixture of confusion and fear. What could be causing such upheaval?
Amidst the chaos, a genderless voice emanated from the swirling mist surrounding the entity.
"The World Providence has increased," it declared.
The council members exchanged incredulous glances, their hearts skipping a beat as they grasped the implications of the entity's proclamation.
They knew all too well what this meant for their plans.
Panic gripped the chamber as the realization set in.
For such an ancient and powerful being to show fear could only signify one thing: the situation was dire.
"KILL!"
The command reverberated through the chamber, sending shivers down the spines of the council members.
Their expressions grew solemn as they understood the gravity of the situation.
The situation had turned from bad to worse and the only saving they have was to vanquish the barren land from existence.

In a continent filled with endless forests, at the center of the forest was a magnificent castle. The palace of the Monster Beast Emperor.
Sitting on the golden throne was a massive python with over two kilometers in length that coiled around her like a massive mountain.
It had bright silver scales, shining brilliantly under the light. The massive python had a mesmerizing woman.
Her face was so beautiful that it would put many ladies to shame.
However, on her face was no smile but a deep frown. She raised her head and looked through the mansion, watching the subtle changes in heaven.
"The World Providence has Increased." She said in a solemn tone.
She averted her gaze and looked at the massive door in the distance and commanded.
"Anyone or Anything related to this. I want them to vanish from the world."
"Yes. Your Majesty." An ancient voice responded.

In another secluded corner of the world, a middle-aged man stood at the peak of a cliff that passed through the
sky, looking straight at the heavens.
"The World Providence has Increased," he murmured in astonishment before his expression turned unsightly.
"Release ten of the sealed demons."

Meanwhile, inside the Cao clan, Cao Meng was giving Su Yen the latest update about the war when he raised his head.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You've increased the Lotus World Providence once again.]
[World Providence: High Tier 1]
[You've been rewarded]
[Do you want to receive the reward now?]
[Yes | No]
Su Yen looked at the series of notifications without any obvious change in his expression, but deep in his heart, he was flabbergasted.
He had long put the thought of increasing the world providence to the back of his mind.
He believed as long as he continued to improve the lives of the people, the World Providence would increase.
And behold, it increased.
With an elated smile, he looked at Cao Meng and said, "Give me a moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty," she responded respectfully and departed from the courtyard.
Alone in the courtyard, he selected "Yes".
[Ding!]
[Rewards]

[2. The Spiritual Energy of your domain has increased.]
[3. You've gained a new ability: Danger Sense]
[End of Reward]
Immediately, the notification ended, a void opened in the courtyard and the profound energy rushed out.

Without thinking twice, he sat down in a lotus position and began to cultivate.
Slowly, the tide of the world was changing.
