In the Saint Emperor Hall, Su Yang sat at the head seat, while the original seat’s owner, the Purple Profound Saint Emperor, sat in a very far back position. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Currently, the main seats in the Saint Emperor Hall were occupied by the Saint Emperors brought by Su Yang.

As for the Saint Emperors of the True Martial Realm, none had any complaints.

There was no choice; in the Saint Emperor Hall, seating was determined by strength. If you have power, you sit at the front; without strength, you sit at the back.

The few from the An Yang Saint Emperor group didn’t even have seats. They stood in the far corner.

"I need not explain the recent situation; everyone understands the current predicament of the True Martial Realm!" Su Yang stated aloud.

The numerous Saint Emperors of the True Martial Realm were full of worry. The clearer they understood the predicament, the more desperate they felt. With the impending calamity, does the True Martial Realm have any hope?

One must know the True Martial Realm is facing the Demon Beast Clan, even if Su Yang has brought so many Saint Emperors back. However, compared to the Demon Beast Clan, these individuals are still far from sufficient; the situation of the True Martial Realm remains extremely precarious.

"Let’s skip unnecessary chatter. I came back this time precisely for this matter!" Su Yang turned and glanced around, speaking aloud: "First, let me introduce some friends by my side. They come from a renowned alliance called the Heavenly War Alliance!"

With these words, the crowd below was suddenly in an uproar, leaving all Saint Emperors of the True Martial Realm stunned.

"The Heavenly War Alliance, isn’t that the alliance once annihilated by the Guardian God?" a Saint Emperor whispered.

"Is it not? I heard this alliance bullies the weak and fears the strong, merely oppresses its fellow clansmen, plundering other Human Clan Worlds’ resources for their use!"

"Why has Lord Su Mo aligned with such an alliance?"

"This alliance’s reputation is worse even compared to the Demon Beast Clan and Guardian God!"

"What is Su Mo trying to do..."

The crowd murmured, yet the truth is, all are Saint Emperors, and Su Yang can hear what they say. These remarks were essentially meant for Su Yang to hear, expressing dissatisfaction with the Heavenly War Alliance.

Su Yang remained calm, patiently waiting for the noise to cease, before slowly saying: "You guessed correctly, this Heavenly War Alliance is indeed the former one. But the rumors that the Heavenly War Alliance was annihilated by the Guardian God are utterly baseless. Though the Heavenly War Alliance suffered losses in their battle against the Guardian God, they retained significant strength and were not completely eradicated as rumors suggest!"

The crowd exchanged glances, feeling regrettable that the Heavenly War Alliance wasn’t wiped out. Such a harmful alliance should have been entirely eliminated rather than continue to harm its own people.

"There’s no need for wild guesses." Su Yang said: "I brought them here this time to propose a transaction to you all."

The crowd was again taken aback, silent for a moment, then instinctively looked towards the Purple Profound Saint Emperor. The Purple Profound Saint Emperor originally sat at the first position in this Saint Emperor Hall, handling most of the decisions regarding the True Martial Realm.

Though unwilling to take the lead, with Su Yang’s eyes on him, Purple Profound Saint Emperor stepped forward, saying firmly: "The True Martial Realm will never submit to any form of power!"

The implied message was telling Su Yang, they do not fear his Heavenly War Alliance.

Su Yang chuckled and said: "Brother Zixuan, I haven’t even stated my offer, and yet you’ve reacted so. Shouldn’t we hear what the transaction entails first before deciding?"

Purple Profound Saint Emperor gritted his teeth, suppressing his urge to admonish the Heavenly War Alliance, saying: "What is your transaction then?"

"Very simple!" Su Yang replied: "We are here to help you protect the True Martial Realm, and in return, the True Martial Realm must join the Heavenly War Alliance and become part of it!"

"Hmm?" Purple Profound Saint Emperor was taken aback, and so were the other Saint Emperors; the deal seemed too straightforward.

After pondering for a while, Purple Profound Saint Emperor asked: "What do we need to sacrifice to become part of the Heavenly War Alliance?"

"Haha..." Su Yang smiled lightly: "Brother Zixuan is indeed insightful! Of course, the Heavenly War Alliance won’t engage in loss-making deals. Becoming a member means adhering to the rules and being under the Alliance’s order. Firstly, the True Martial Realm must annually provide the Heavenly War Alliance with a Spiritual Source sufficient for a Saint Emperor’s use over a hundred years!"

Purple Profound Saint Emperor and others exchanged glances, nodding slightly. This requirement wasn’t excessive, as the True Martial Realm could certainly handle providing such a Spiritual Source.

"What else?" Purple Profound Saint Emperor asked.

"Secondly, the True Martial Realm must be governed by the Heavenly War Alliance, and its Saint Emperors must unconditionally comply with the Alliance’s directives!" Su Yang stated aloud.

This requirement left the Saint Emperors in the room hesitant. As Saint Emperors, who is willing to be commanded by others?

Seeing their expressions, Su Yang chuckled and said: "Don’t worry, the Heavenly War Alliance won’t randomly dispatch you without cause. Every decade, the True Martial Realm needs only to send three Saint Emperors to serve in the Alliance, while the rest remain here. Unless a major event occurs, the Alliance will not dispatch you without reason. Furthermore, the Spiritual Source for those serving in the Alliance will be provided by the Alliance."

At these words, Su Yang paused and spoke loudly: "Moreover, serving in the Alliance won’t involve anything demeaning. Most of the time, you’ll simply cultivate in the Alliance unless a specific situation arises that necessitates your involvement."

These words relieved the crowd. They feared being sent as servants or slaves to the Heavenly War Alliance, but it wasn’t the case, so everything was agreeable.

"Lord Su Mo, can you elaborate on what you mean by specific situations?" a Saint Emperor couldn’t help but ask.

"Good question!" Su Yang laughed: "These specific situations refer to threats faced by the Heavenly War Alliance or tasks requiring your involvement. For instance, in this case, to incorporate the True Martial Realm into the Alliance, we mobilized these Saint Emperors from other Intermediate Worlds to aid against the Demon Beast Clan. Similarly, in the future, when incorporating other worlds, we’ll dispatch people to assist in protecting them—it’s tasks like these!"
