"It"s not that they"re insane, but it is rumored that the Aurora Cloud Gate has always been a place of amnesty for Divergents."

Suddenly, an old voice shook them out of their reverie.

Everyone turned to see who it was, their gazes falling in the direction of the Light Dragon Clan.

"Once Divergents entered the Aurora Cloud Gate, it seemed that they mostly never head out, and even if they do, they remain more peaceful than your average cultivator trying to hunt for treasures, only to plunder and kill. Of course, I"m not siding with them but merely stating what I have heard in my long life."

That old voice spoke once again, causing everyone"s gaze to fall on an old man. He appeared to hold a cane stick as he remained seated, his white hair flowing down his shoulders. There was an ancient air to him, and his aura that appeared exemplary was frail as he looked like old bones. However, they could sense almost nothing from him.

Instantly, everyone"s heart shook.

An Ancestor had deigned to partic.i.p.ate in this gathering? Instantly, everyone held a respectful stance toward his presence.

Even the Light Dragon Clan"s Patriarch was shocked, wondering when one of their Ancestors appeared here as he didn"t see him in the entourage.

"Young dragons and phoenixes, there is a limit to what an individual"s strength can do, so you all gathered here to see if you could force the Aurora Cloud Gate to give up their foolishness and send their disciples to you. We, as elders, wouldn"t interfere in the decisions you make as sometimes, our old bones and pride get in the way, but you young ones should remain flexible."

"Make no mistake. If you"re reasonable with the Aurora Cloud Gate, they"ll be reasonable with you. But if you"re forceful, only the heavens can predict the result."

Saying that the Ancestor disappeared, leaving behind a heavy atmosphere.

The people present remained dumbfounded, unable to speak out a response.

Who were they? They were the highest existences of the magical beast race? Yet, one of their own Ancestors came to visit them and lightly warned them about the Aurora Cloud Gate?

They didn"t feel good, as though everything they imagined about themselves was crumbling right in front of their eyes.

Together, weren"t they the strongest? Were they not the undisputed rulers of the First Haven World?

They were not even talking about the dragon alliance or phoenix alliance separately but together, so how are they at a loss here!? Just individually, they were enough to bring calamity to the world!

Everyone"s heart fell. Just how strong was the Aurora Cloud Gate? How could it be so deeply hidden?

With this, the Fire Phoenix Patriarch, who was planning to storm the Aurora Cloud Gate with the people here since the ancestors weren"t responding to him, gulped in cold sweat. He imagined the public flogging once he invaded the Aurora Cloud Gate- no, public beheading that would sever his graceful neck in one single swing.

Slightly rubbing his neck, his expression turned a bit cold, not because he imagined Grand Elder Aradiel Furiose cutting his head down but because the atmosphere here didn"t seem good.

"Then I"m leaving."

It was like the nail to the coffin as the Ice Phoenix Matriarch spoke, causing the other clans to stand up, appearing like they intended to leave.

"Wait... we can"t be hasty. Even if it were not for the inheritors, you are all underestimating the dangers of a Divergent like him. Have you ever seen or heard anyone else control heavenly lightning and flames together? Even manage to cultivate death energy and remain sane? If a Divergent like him is allowed to roam free, then the damage he would bring upon the First Haven World, much less our powers, is unable to be fathomed."

"Unlike the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Earth Dragon Clan that earned that young man"s ire, we have not done anything to warrant being slaughtered. We helped you talk with the Aurora Cloud Gate, and now that it has failed, don"t drag us into this when you"re the ones who offended him."

A suave brown-skinned, black-golden-robed man scowled before he left after the Ice Phoenix Patriarch. He was none other than the Dark Dragon Clan"s Patriarch, causing the Fire Phoenix Patriarch to be unable to retort.

"If it"s a challenge that the young Emperor of Death wants, then my Lightning Dragon Clan will be glad to accompany him. Ahaha!"

Another violet-golden-robed man cackled as he left with his entourage.

The expression of the Fire Phoenix Patriarch fell as he watched the Lightning Dragon Clan"s Patriarch leave, followed by the Wind Dragon Clan and Water Dragon Clan. As for the other Phoenix Clans, they also left, causing his expression to turn unsightly.

None of them gave face to him as they didn"t choose to remain and listen further. However, watching the Golden Dragon Clan and Fire Dragon Clan stay, he couldn"t help but feel somewhat good.

"Then-"

"As we said, we"ll only stick around until we learn the truth. As for your matter, we don"t have a say in what the phoenix clans do, so I can only advise the Earth Dragon Clan to move with caution. The inheritor may be important to the clan, but it is also important to respect the inheritor"s opinion and life. Do you think our Inheritance Masters could have chosen the wrong inheritors?"

The Golden Dragon Clan"s Patriarch cupped his hands, asking a question to Earth Dragon Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder in good faith and left, leaving the latter contemplating.

On the other hand, the Fire Dragon Patriarch shook his head, "It doesn"t matter if we don"t have a say. Remember, Divergents are a scourge because they don"t have any other destiny other than to die to their tribulations, mostly their own heavenly tribulations. If you want to kill someone like that, then you must be prepared to be eradicated."

"This is not new. Our clans have eradicated many evil Divergents who wreaked havoc and killed innocents, so what you do with a Divergent who could turn evil is entirely on your head. Despite our good relations.h.i.+ps, don"t expect us to help you when you"re failing as you reap what you sow."

The Fire Dragon Clan"s Patriarch also cupped hands, advising them before he left.

Only the Earth Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan remained; their expressions, although different, were seemingly reluctant.

As for their Patriarchs, their expressions were somewhat indifferent as they knew all these clans" final inheritors had already arrived in their clans a long time ago, so what did they have to worry about when they had their futures secured while they had theirs obscured by some powerful Divergent?
