"Should we stay here and be eaten, or go to the borderlands?" Ye Qingxian said calmly.
"The Primordial Covenant?" Immediately, the expressions of several of the older sect leaders changed, while most of them looked completely bewildered.
The ancient covenant—just hearing its name sends shivers down one's spine, carrying a heavy weight of time. What kind of oath is this?!
Everyone felt that there was a shocking secret hidden here, which, once exposed, would likely shake the world.
"Ancient Covenant? Borderlands? What are those?" Shi Hao asked in confusion.
“Alright! I am willing to sign the Primordial Alliance and go to the frontier.”
The War Emperor spoke first. He had already been notified and was supposed to go, so there was no reason for him to hesitate now.
Silence, a long silence.
“I am willing to sign the Taikoo Covenant.” Someone broke the silence.
"I'm willing to sign too."
Under the threat of death, the remaining leaders all expressed their willingness to sign. Only Qin Changsheng of the Qin Clan, the leader of the Heaven-Mending Sect, and the Peacock God remained silent.
"Where are you, God?"
The old celestial being sighed and said, "Here we go again. I'm almost wiped out from the world, and there's still a day when I have to fulfill my vow."
"Don't you want to go?" Ye Qingxian asked.
"I'm willing!" To everyone's surprise, Lao Tianren's answer was resounding and powerful, like the clash of metal and stone, extremely decisive and resolute.
"Ancient Ancestor, what exactly is going on?" a Celestial God asked cautiously, his mind filled with confusion. He desperately wanted to know.
"If one day you can make my Celestial Race once again the royal family of the Three Thousand Provinces, then you will be qualified to know!" the old Celestial said, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He looked at the sky, as if trying to pierce through the ancient past, looking towards a certain place.
"What?!" Everyone gasped. Cold sweat broke out on their backs. What kind of oath was this? It was too terrifying and bizarre.
"The Immortal River flows eastward, the path to immortality ends. Heroes of the world fall in defeat. Through a hundred lifetimes in the mortal realm, all the proud and arrogant have perished. The setting sun casts its last rays of blood, where shall we go?!" The old celestial being murmured, filled with endless sorrow, foreseeing his impending doom.
"Ancestor!" the Celestial Gods cried out, all trying to stop him. They didn't want him to fulfill the so-called alliance.
"Uncle Dragon King, what exactly is the Primordial Covenant?" Shi Hao asked Lin Qing when no one answered him.
Lin Qing said, "It means that the aliens have invaded the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. As long as the Primordial Alliance is signed, we must go to the front line to fight against the aliens."
"What? Another realm? Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Shi Hao looked bewildered. Not only him, but everyone present except for a few others also looked bewildered.
Ye Qingxian interjected, "That's right, the Three Thousand Provinces are merely one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"What? The Three Thousand Provinces is such a vast region, yet it is merely one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? This is…" Shi Hao was shocked.
"As for the other realms, I won't say much. Just know that if the borderlands are breached, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will cease to exist, and all living beings will suffer." Ye Qingxian said solemnly.
At this point, Shi Hao was speechless. The others were the same.
"Dragon King, since you also know about the Ancient Covenant, what do you say? Do you want to sign it?" It seems that Ye Qingxian wants to lure Lin Qing to the borderlands to fight against the alien realm.
Lin Qing didn't answer, but instead said to Shi Hao, "Little one, what do you think we should do with these guys?"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Underworld and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.
Shi Hao asked, "Uncle Dragon King, is the other realm very powerful?"
Lin Qing said, "It is very strong for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. As long as the border is breached, no one can stop it."
Shi Hao solemnly said, "I understand, Uncle Dragon King. Then let them all go to the border to fight!"
"Child, don't worry. You're still young. When you're strong enough, I believe you can defend the borderlands," Lin Qing said softly.
He didn't say that he could destroy the alien realm on his own, because the alien realm was crucial to Shi Hao's growth.
Of course, an idea had already appeared in Lin Qing's mind. Now that he thought about it, Lin Qing felt that if it were implemented, that wasteland would definitely be very interesting.
Unlike the original story, where only a small number of people fight bravely while most of the powerful figures cower in the rear, or even...
Ye Qingxian said, "Hey, I said, are you going to sign the Ancient Covenant or not? You're a grown man, stop dawdling."
"I will go to the borderlands. As for you, I will spare your lives, but you will not escape punishment."
Whoosh!
With a flash of golden light, they all had a drop of their essence blood taken away, and the beast-shaped ones even lost an arm.
Lin Qing took away all of the demon seeds, or melon seeds, of the ancient ancestor of the Demon Sunflower Garden.
"Get lost! If that little brat comes knocking on your door demanding compensation, you'd better hand it over obediently, or I'll wipe out your lineage," Lin Qing said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, we will certainly comply." Without another word, the Underworld Lord and the others left.
"Then we shall take our leave as well," Qin Changsheng said, cupping his hands in farewell to the leader of the Patching Heaven Sect.
"Let's go!" Shi Hao waved his hand upon hearing this.
The leader of the Patching Heaven Sect had an acquaintance among them. Although they might covet the precious techniques he possessed, they didn't go too far.
Qin Changsheng didn't say a word, but it seemed he had also come to save him, since he had helped him reunite with his parents in the lower realm.
The two said their goodbyes and then left.
"You must remember what you said. I'm leaving now," Ye Qingxian said.
"Thank you, Ye Qingxian!" Shi Hao said, bowing with his hands clasped in thanks.
Ye Qingxian smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, then let me study the Flying Immortal Stone. It won't take long, just a few years."
"Ten days at most." Shi Hao's face darkened.
"Alright, ten days it is." Ye Qingxian smiled, her white robes as pure as snow, her beauty unparalleled.
Originally, he wanted to take Shi Hao as his subordinate, but with a Supreme Being in front of him, he decided to keep a low profile.
That's right, he is a Supreme Being. Ye Qingxian thought Lin Qing was a Supreme Being. As for True Immortals and those above True Immortals, she didn't even think about it, because that was impossible.
“Ancestor, the items have been delivered, but I cannot move the Flying Immortal Stone,” the celestial being said as he appeared behind the old celestial being.
"If you can't carry it, why don't you put it in your spatial artifact?" Shi Hao walked over, grabbed the sacred medicines and other resources, and grinned from ear to ear.

"That Flying Immortal Stone can't be stored in a spatial artifact. Even if it were, the spatial artifact would break soon afterward." The Celestial God of the Celestial Race was sweating profusely.
Lin Qing suddenly peered into the city, and a huge rock broke through the layers of restrictions and flew into the main hall, finally landing in front of Shi Hao.
"Little one, put it in a storage bag," Lin Qing said.
"Okay." With a thought, Shi Hao caused the Flying Immortal Stone to disappear.
"Ah, Uncle Dragon King, the storage bag! The storage bag is ten times bigger!" Shi Hao exclaimed in surprise upon sensing the contents of the storage bag.
“I just refined the storage bag. Also, your first drop of blood can transform into a belt, which will be more convenient,” Lin Qing said.
Lin Qing had left some storage bags in Shi Village before. He didn't have any storage rings, but he had quite a few storage bags.
After being refined by Lin Qing, its original size of 100 meters in length, width and height has increased tenfold, and it can also change its form by dripping blood to recognize its master.
"Haha, that's awesome!" Shi Hao was overjoyed.
"Hehe, let me study for ten days too!" Er Tuzi, now free from the suppression of the Peacock God, jogged over and put his arm around Shi Hao's shoulder.
“No problem,” Shi Hao replied immediately.
"Brother, you're the best. It wasn't for nothing that I asked the God Lord to protect you." Baldy patted Shi Hao on the shoulder happily.
"Thank you, Peacock God." For Shi Hao, the Peacock God's kindness was even greater than that of Ye Qingxian.
The Peacock God Lord laughed and said, "Young friend, there's no need for that. Willow God is also my master, and you are my junior brother. It's only right that we do this. Besides, I think you should have arrived here long ago."
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. You can also call me senior brother."
"It's my senior brother." Shi Hao was very happy, as he had gained another family member.
"Little peacock, very good. Go to the border in five years, there will be a surprise. I will pass on a magic technique to you, and when the time is right, it will be unsealed." Lin Qing flicked his finger, and golden light shot into his mind.
"Thank you, senior. I will definitely go there in five years." The Peacock God was somewhat excited.
"Me too, Dragon King, me too!" the bald man said with a lewd grin.
"All of them." Lin Qing flicked his finger, and three golden beams shot out, entering the minds of Shi Hao, Er Tuzi, and Yun Xi respectively.
"Ah, Senior Dragon King, I..." Yunxi was clearly incredulous.
"You're the little guy's chosen wife, how could we leave you out?" Lin Qing chuckled.
“That’s right, you’re my brother Shi Hao’s wife,” Er Tuzi said.
Shi Hao said casually, "Wife, you should call him Uncle Dragon King. Calling him 'senior' is too formal."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yunxi blushed and said shyly.
"Wow, you're so young and already have a wife, that's amazing! Have you consummated your marriage yet?" Ye Qingxian asked with a gossipy look.
On the boundless grassland, herds of exotic animals and a large number of rare birds in the sky demonstrate the prosperity of this grassland.
"Wife, your Celestial Clan's ranch is really big! So many golden cows and celestial sheep, you can eat them every day!" Shi Hao said, pulling Yun Xi along.
"Don't call me that, I'm not your wife. I can't be bothered with you." Yunxi stood up, ran to Ye Qingxian's side, and began to study the Flying Immortal Stone with her.
"It's boring." Shi Hao stared blankly at it.
He took out the Flying Immortal Stone and placed it on the grassland. Er Tu Zi and Ye Qing Xian were both studying it, and now Yun Xi had also run over there.
The Peacock God hadn't left, and Baldy was still here. To comprehend the Flying Immortal Stone, he had to go with Baldy. Right now, he was sitting cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed.
"Hurry up and roast them! I'm starving! Roast as many as you can, hundreds are not too many!" Shi Hao roared at the Celestial Race in the distance.
"Yes!" Hundreds of people immediately sped up their work. Plucking feathers, starting fires, roasting.
"Why hasn't Uncle Dragon King returned yet?" Shi Hao murmured.
Lin Qing had brought a few people to the ranch earlier, and then took out some ingredients, and had the Celestial Race kill hundreds of powerful alien beasts to cook them.
Just after giving the instructions, Lin Qing said he had something to do and left. Shi Hao scratched his head, smelling the fragrance in the distance, unable to calm down and cultivate.
He didn't want to eat first; he wanted to wait for Lin Qing to come back.
