Free Web NovelChapter 587: Chapter 587: Nine Generations Alliance (Part 2)
The Celestial Beings descended upon this world several centuries ago.
After their arrival, strange phenomena also appeared and became nightmares for countless people.
Not only that, over these centuries as more Celestial Beings descended to earth, they took root and established vast family systems, even extending into many external forces.
Now, in Daqian, the Imperial Court has long been mostly controlled by Celestial forces. The ten great Celestial families occupy Qianjing, their reach spreading downwards, almost merging with the entire Dynasty.
In the martial world, their influence is likewise prominent, with sightings of Celestial Beings and their affiliates frequently causing chaos!
Many Major Sects and martial guilds have been infiltrated and corroded by them.
In fact, if the Celestial Beings desired, they have the complete ability to change the sky and replace Daqian to establish a new Dynasty.
The reason Daqian has continued until now is mainly due to the internal rivalry among the ten great Celestial families, as none can tolerate a rival ascending the throne.
This is why the current Emperor still retains his position of respect.
But over the past hundred or two hundred years, the rise and expansion of Celestial Beings have long sparked dissatisfaction among countless people.
Only the immortality trait of Celestial Beings makes everyone extremely fearful, unable to devise a thorough solution, so they can only endure in silence.
Nonetheless, resistance against Celestial forces has never ceased, whether within the court or the martial world.
The emergence of the Nine Generations Alliance could be said to be born from necessity!
"Nine Generations" literally means "Saving the World," but the latter is too straightforward. Moreover, the great power who established the Nine Generations Alliance deeply understands the strength of Celestial Beings, thus needing nine generations’ time to achieve their purpose.
Only those who understand Celestial Beings can truly grasp the tragic sentiment contained within this name!
"For a century, we have been quietly accumulating strength."
Scholar Guan said in a deep voice, "At the same time, exploring and researching methods to counter Celestial Beings, we have already achieved some results."
Zhang Yuan was shocked: "You have found a way to deal with Celestial Beings?"
He had always believed his Divine Nest’s transcendence ability was the only means to utterly destroy Celestial Beings.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Generations Alliance also possessed such capabilities.
For Zhang Yuan, in fact, this was an excellent development.
If the Nine Generations Alliance could truly eliminate the Celestial Beings, then he would no longer have many concerns in dealing with them.
He could freely execute his plans!
"Yes."
Scholar Guan replied frankly: "But it’s not yet perfect, I can only tell you this much."
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask: "Senior, why are you telling me the secrets of the Nine Generations Alliance, are you not afraid I might..."
The rest of his sentence remained unspoken but was unnecessary.
Scholar Guan understood and smiled, saying: "If we are afraid of everything, how can we unite all possible forces to fight the world-destroying threat of Celestial Beings!"
World-destroying threat!
Zhang Yuan thought of the disaster in Yongzhou and nodded silently.
Scholar Guan’s words expressed his feelings toward Celestial Beings.
If this world were to be destroyed, the true culprit would definitely be Celestial Beings—there was no other possibility!
"You and I are of like minds."
Scholar Guan continued: "Zhang Yuan, I sincerely hope you can join our Nine Generations Alliance, to save this world that nurtures us and countless common people!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was truly touched.
For he could deeply feel the old scholar’s sincere dedication!
This unfathomable figure had hidden away in Crescent Oasis, a place filled with mixed good and bad, for decades.
Moreover, the living conditions and environment there were so poor.
He must bear heavy responsibilities, determined and unwavering, otherwise, he could not have persisted for so long.
His conviction was as firm as a rock.
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask: "Are there any requirements or conditions for joining the Nine Generations Alliance?"
To this, Scholar Guan smiled and shook his head: "None."
According to this old scholar, if Zhang Yuan joined the Nine Generations Alliance, he would be his guide.
Zhang Yuan only needed to agree with the ideas of the Nine Generations Alliance and be willing to combat the Celestial threat alongside all members, and he would become a new member.
There is no formal ceremony to join, and Zhang Yuan wouldn’t even need to meet any other members besides his guide.
Of course, his name and identity would be reported to the Alliance Leader for appropriate support and help.
Most importantly, Zhang Yuan need not leave Upper Scenic Celestial.
In fact, nearly all members of the Nine Generations Alliance maintain their own identities.
Martial Heroes, Merchant Tycoons, Court Officials, Sect Leaders... and even characters from all walks of life.
Theoretically, members could potentially fight to the death without knowing each other’s identities.
But the Nine Generations Alliance only acknowledges the survivor!
Correspondingly, Zhang Yuan’s identity will be known only to his guide and the Alliance Leader, keeping it as secret as possible.
For over a century, the Nine Generations Alliance has been developing its members in secrecy, employing various methods to research and experiment against Celestial Beings.
Once they truly master methods to counter Celestial Beings, this dormant power will erupt suddenly.
To completely eradicate the greatest menace to this world!
Consequently, upon joining, the Nine Generations Alliance would generally not assign tasks for him to complete.
Thus ensuring he wouldn’t be exposed.
It’s known that the Celestial entities are aware of the Nine Generations Alliance and are secretly resorting to all means to attack and persecute them.
"Zhang Yuan."
Scholar Guan said, "I’ll ask you for the last time, are you willing to join the Nine Generations Alliance?"
Zhang Yuan nodded: "I am willing."
He resonated deeply with the Nine Generations Alliance’s ideals and was willing to contribute his part to eradicate Celestial Beings.
Even when Zhang Yuan discovered his Divine Nest could transcend Celestial Beings, he had already become their greatest enemy.
If this secret suddenly gets exposed, the Nine Generations Alliance would be the best refuge!
Zhang Yuan needed a fallback plan for himself.
"Very well."
Scholar Guan smiled contentedly: "Tomorrow you can return to West Plain City; you don’t need to concern yourself with the Desert Wind Army. I assure you they will no longer be a problem to you!"
Zhang Yuan was momentarily surprised, and a flash of insight occurred to him: "Senior, is the Desert Wind Army?"
"You guessed correctly."
Scholar Guan seemed to understand Zhang Yuan’s thoughts, replying, "The Desert Wind Army is merely a pawn of our Nine Generations Alliance; there are many such pawns."
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
He asked again: "Once I return, how should I contact you, senior?"
"You don’t need to contact me."
Scholar Guan explained: "You merely need to quietly wait, improve your strength, until the day our Nine Generations Alliance truly comes forth to engage in the final battle against the Celestial Beings!"
He closed his eyes, his breath as still as a withered tree, as though he had exhausted the last spark of life.
Zhang Yuan stood up in silence, bowing to this elderly scholar.
He needed to return and thoroughly digest his immense gains for today.
