Beneath the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, the Omnipotent Lord had a grim look on his face. He knew that James’ was
powerful, yet he was unable to accurately gauge James’ true power. So, he was wary of trying James out recklessly.
It was his idea to use the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth to test James’ power. He had not expected his own defeat, because
he thought that the worst scenario was to reach a draw with James.
However, the reality was that he lost completely to James.
He worked hard to create a conference of all twelve universes precisely to become the Lord of all these universes combined.
This would allow him to absorb sufficient providence and ascend to a higher rank.
Now that James had appeared, however, it would be extremely difficult for him to become the Lord of the new universe. Every
powerful figure would want to get their hands on a tempting position such as this.
The followers of the Omnipotent Lord also looked gloomy. They followed the Lord because they believed that following a man
whose power topped everyone in the twelve universes would be beneficial for them. However, James' appearance proved that
the Lord was not all-powerful.
“What now?” “Should we support the Omnipotent Lord?” The belief in these Macrocosm Ancestral Gods started to shatter.
James descended from the sky and landed at Mount Ancestre.
He scanned through the crowd, causing the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods to take a few steps back.
His gaze stopped at the Omnipotent Lord. With a calm expression, he asked, “Now that the competition is over, should we
discuss the matter of merging universes?”
The Omnipotent Lord hesitated. Is there a need to merge the twelve universes anymore? Even if the universes were merged, it
would be a herculean task for him to become the Lord of the new universe. However, if the universes were not merged, then he
would never have the possibility of ascending to a higher rank, and would never have the chance to defeat James. So, in all
cases, merging the universes was a must.
Thinking about this, the grim look of his disappeared. He grinned widely and looked at all the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods,
saying, “Welcome to all those who have come from afar. Please enter the main hall.”
Under the welcoming of the Omnipotent Lord, the many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods and the Caelum Ancestral Gods walked into
Mount Ancestre’s main hall.
The Omnipotent Lord sat on his throne. The Macrocosm Ancestral Gods and some of the Caelum Ancestral Gods sat at their
respective places, while those who did not have a seat had to stand.
Scanning through the crowd, he said, “Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions on merging the universes? If there is, please
raise it now. We can discuss and solve the matter together.”
Immediately, a Macrocosm Ancestral God stood up and asked, “Omnipotent Lord, after the twelve universes are merged, how do
we delineate the areas? What should we do with the current twelve Lords of the universes? And who will become the Lord of the
new universe?“
These were questions that concerned all Macrocosm Ancestral Gods.
The Omnipotent Lord said, “I think that we can first follow the current separations and divide the new universe into twelve areas.
Each universe will have one administrator, and the administrators will be the current Lords of the twelve universes. This will
ensure harmony and peace after the twelve universes are merged. As for the Lord of the new universe, this should be up for an
election. I just think that the Lord of the new universe must be someone that everyone holds in high reverence. He must not only
be powerful but also an experienced administrator.”
His voice echoed across the main hall.
According to the Lord’s words prior to this, whoever was the strongest had the legitimacy to become the Lord of the new
universe.
