Chapter 1157: Chapter 620: The Alliance Hierarch Position of the War Alliance (2)

"They are extreme and fanatical, viewing chaos and apocalypse as the highest law, advocating complete destruction."

"Their followers act in secret, often hiding in every corner of the universe, like maggots on bones, inciting wars, spreading plagues, polluting spirit veins. In short, whatever can stir up cosmic chaos, they will do."

"Their ultimate goal is to bring all heavens and realms, infinite star seas back to the most primordial void, chaotic state."

His tone became more solemn, carrying an indescribable weight.

"Records about them in ancient texts are extremely scarce and fragmented, mostly vague, as if their very existence can erode memory and erase history."

"I also spent unimaginable costs, piecing together and deducing from ancient ruins or fragments of extinct world remnants over long ages, to catch a glimpse of them."

Zhan Jiuxiao turned around, staring directly at Jiang Shu, with galaxies seemingly vanishing in the depths of his pupils.

"In an era so ancient it cannot be traced, they at least succeeded in stirring up several cosmic calamities."

"According to those cryptic ancient remnants hints, among our deductions, it can be concluded there was one time, they almost, or really succeeded."

"Succeeded?!"

Jiang Shu was shocked, a chill spreading along his spine.

"Indeed..."

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slowly, those two syllables seemed to bear the weight of the entire universe.

"That was perhaps the time they were most prosperous."

"The remnants mention ’order collapsing, law crumbling, the supreme Divine Country falling into eternal night,’ the despair between the words, even after millions of years, still makes the heart palpitate."

"It is said, that time they overturned the entire known cosmic framework, even rewriting part of the universe’s foundational logic."

"After they succeeded, the entire world seemed to be pushed into an unimaginable chaotic era."

Jiang Shu felt dry-mouthed, his throat tightening, feeling overwhelmed by this news, even at his current realm, he did not dare to imagine what the aftermath of world destruction would entail.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to digest the shock in his heart, involuntarily asked, "What did they do after succeeding?"

"And why did they disappear?"

"No one knows."

Zhan Jiuxiao’s tone was decisive yet filled with profound helplessness and dread.

"That piece of history is a blank erased entirely."

"No texts, even the oldest legends, could clearly describe what the Doomsday Sect did after succeeding, nor why they eventually retreated or concealed themselves."

"It’s as if an invisible giant hand forcibly wiped away the imprint of that River of Time."

"Just knowing they once succeeded is already an ultimate speculation after enduring countless difficulties."

"It’s more like a lingering nightmare whisper on the minds of some of the oldest beings."

"Whether that chaotic era truly existed, or is some extreme curse illusion, now cannot be verified."

He exhaled a long breath, the breath seeming somewhat sullied in the space filled with Spiritual Energy.

"This is the most terrifying aspect of the Doomsday Sect."

"Their whereabouts are unpredictable, their methods mysterious beyond measure, even history itself can be eroded, modified, and concealed."

"This time, the pollution could infiltrate both our War Alliance Ancestral Land and Ancient Battle Soul Path core places, its silent and pervasive degree unprecedented."

"Various signs indicate this cancer that has been lurking for countless ages is reviving, more dangerous than in any past era."

The heavy information pressed on everyone’s hearts like a giant stone.

Even Yu Sha, who had just walked out from the quiet room behind, heard the later part, his face instantly becoming extremely pale.

And Zhan Feng could not withstand the shock in his heart, disregarding his injuries, stood up directly, clenched fists emitting slight bone joint friction sounds.

"Uncle Zhan, what ultimately is their purpose in the War Alliance, is this mutation aimed at the Human Clan, or at all races in the universe?"

"Can the War Alliance’s information network find any other changes?"

Jiang Shu asked further.

"Purpose?"

Zhan Jiuxiao’s mouth pulled into a hard iron-like arc.

"Their core doctrine is apocalypse equates to rebirth, viewing tranquility as diseased, purification is salvation."

"Any powerful, vibrant civilization or force is a thorn in their eyes."

"The War Alliance, as the backbone of the Human Clan, is naturally first in line."

"This time, using the Evil Altar to pollute the Ancient Path, erode the Ancestral Land, was their first poison blade revealed to our War Alliance."

"The filthy remnants yet to be cleaned by Zi Ling is solid evidence!"

"As for other races, according to the intelligence I currently know, some races only with Venerables seated have been completely annihilated, as if never existed in the universe."

"Disappearing without a trace, that’s the means of a Saint."

"After this, the Star Ruins Realm likely won’t be peaceful anymore."

"Perhaps you could pass this information to the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, prepare early, adding a bit more self-preservation power."

Zhan Jiuxiao paused his voice, sweeping his gaze over the few youths in front of him.

Jiang Shu, Zhan Feng, Zhan Yun, and the already waking Yu Sha and others.

Jiang Shu and the others as Zhan Jiuxiao’s most trusted three young individuals, already knew many things, while Yu Sha, being an ancient prodigy only next to the three, heard bits and pieces, but under Zhan Jiuxiao’s manipulation, had not heard the real secrets.

As for the others, though unaware of exactly what happened, they knew the mutation in the Ancient Battle Soul Path was due to someone scheming secretly.

Their faces pale with initial recovery from injuries, yet their eyes bore defiance and fighting spirit.

This youthful sharpness brought a touch of comfort in Zhan Jiuxiao’s eyes, but was soon replaced by deeper gravity.

These prodigies, while having many commendable aspects in talent, have yet to truly mature.

Even if promoted to Venerable, would still just be the weakest among Venerables.

Facing true catastrophe, could only defend themselves.

Shaking his head, Zhan Jiuxiao continued:

"The roots of the Doomsday Sect are deeply hidden, widely reaching, likely connected to those taboos entrenched in the universe’s ultimate darkness."

"Currently, you all have yet to reach the level of equal confrontation with them."

"Forcibly probing will only result in being devoured by that endless darkness without a trace."

He stepped forward, his tall figure exuding a protective aura as stable as a mountain, but under this protection was an even more pressing sense of crisis.

"The matter of the Doomsday Sect will be handled by me and the Supreme Elder."

"We will spare no cost, clear up clues, reinforce lines, and contact other remaining major forces."

"What you need to do now is quickly heal the injuries suffered by the Ancient Path this time, digest what you obtained from it."

His gaze fell on Jiang Shu, meaningful.

"Especially you, Jiang Shu."

"Your talent and fortune far exceed Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun."

Zhan Jiuxiao’s sharp gaze fell on Jiang Shu’s face, carrying scrutiny and deep consideration.

"This time the mutation in the Ancient Battle Soul Path, your dedication, was seen by everyone in our War Alliance."

He paused slightly, speaking each word clearly and unmistakably:

"Thus, on behalf of the War Alliance’s senior members, I announce from this moment on, Jiang Shu, you will be officially regarded as one of the War Alliance’s most core members, possessing equal status and authority as Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun."

"Moreover, you are eligible to participate in the future ultimate contest for the position of Alliance Hierarch!"

"What?"

This unexpected announcement left the few people present stunned.

Zhan Feng suddenly lifted his head, light flashing complexly in his eyes, mostly surprise.

Zhan Yun also showed a look of surprise.

Yu Sha similarly stared at Jiang Shu in shock, then lowered his head, eyes flickering, unsure of what he was thinking.

Jiang Shu himself did not expect to hear such words.

Alliance Hierarch position?
