Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994: The Strive of the Great Era_1 Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994: The Strive of the Great Era_1 Corbin Green said with a faint smile: “Williams Saintess, don't pretend to be confused when you know the truth. Who could it be other than Ethan Smith?”

Williams Saintess covered her mouth and chuckled. She shook her head and said, “Saint Green, you've misunderstood. Ethan Smith and I merely have a working relationship.”

“A working relationship?” Corbin Green raised his eyebrows, “If it were not for his extraordinary abilities, would you cooperate with a rogue cultivator?”

Williams Saintess shook her head without confirming or denying it.

Corbin Green continued: “However, as far as I know, Ethan Smith's relationship with Emily Taylor is quite extraordinary. Williams Saintess, if you have other intentions, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.”

“Saint Green, you're overthinking it.” Williams Saintess shook her head again.

Seeing this, Corbin Green did not continue to pester her.

He laughed, “Every time the Golden Age arrives, there will be one or two powerful rogue cultivators emerging. Either they become unparalleled legends in history, or they die early and become mere stepping stones for others.”

“Very few manage to succeed after all.”

Williams Saintess did not refute his words but smiled: “But how many of those who entered the Immortal Emperor realm throughout history haven't gone through countless hardships?”

“It's a handful at most, not worth considering.” Corbin Green replied.

“It's enough if there's just one. Don't forget, the one who almost wiped out the royal family that year was the Demon Emperor.” Williams Saintess said.

Corbin Green fell silent upon mentioning the Demon Emperor, and after a long time, he sighed, “The Demon Emperor could be considered the most powerful Immortal Emperor in history, right?”

“Not necessarily. Mason Taylor is not too bad either.” Williams Saintess said.

Corbin Green laughed and said: “As for who is stronger between the Demon Emperor and Immortal Emperor Taylor, this has been debated for years. It's a pity that they are not from the same era. So no one knows who is stronger between the two, which is a real pity.”

When the Demon Emperor was born, it was not the Golden Age.” Williams Saintess said leisurely.

Corbin Green looked slightly surprised and asked, “So, are you biased towards the Demon Emperor, Williams Saintess?”

“No, I'm just saying that the conditions were more severe for the Demon Emperor.” Williams Saintess said indifferently.

Corbin Green snorted, “Immortal Emperor Taylor single-handedly resisted several beings not weaker than the Immortal Emperor and killed them all. Such a record is unprecedented and unique.”

Upon hearing Corbin Green's words, Williams Saintess said with a nonchalant smile: “Perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years, the Holy Region will no longer be ruled by the nine major families but the ten major families.”

Corbin Green was momentarily speechless but quickly guessed Williams Saintess's intentions.

Then, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Williams Saintess, comparing Ethan Smith to Immortal Emperor Taylor, aren't you overestimating him a bit?” Corbin Green shook his head continuously.

“Throughout the course of history, only one Mason Taylor has emerged. Who does Ethan Smith think he is?”

Williams Saintess did not argue with Corbin Green over this issue. Instead, she changed the topic: “From now on, Ethan Smith will probably face constant assassination attempts.”

Corbin Green lamented: “Indeed, no one wants a rogue cultivator to grow.”

Williams Saintess smiled, “If he can withstand the nine major families' pursuit, who can stop his rise in the future?”

As the two of them had predicted, after this battle, the situation for Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter became even more dangerous.

Almost all nine family circles were discussing the matter. They absolutely did not want Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter to rise during the Golden Age.

Wilson family.

Michael Wilson remained silent for a long time after hearing the news.

The First Elder standing nearby looked grim. Although the Wilson family had many Semi-Saints, losing two at once was not something they were willing to accept.

“If he can kill a Semi-Saint in the middle stage of Returning Void, who can stop him once he steps into the True Saint realm?” The First Elder said coldly.

Michael Wilson also whispered, “With his current strength, even looking at the entire Holy Region, he is already at the pinnacle. No one is confident of defeating him.”

The First Elder's eyes narrowed, and he said no more.

After a while, the First Elder whispered, “The nine major families are likely to meet again soon.”

The influence of the matter was beyond imagination. As beneficiaries of the nine major families, they were unwilling to let a rogue cultivator snatch their resources.

Moreover, more and more powerful cultivators have been emerging, such as the mysterious demon race that came out of the depths of Azure Rock Forest, and now Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter.

The power of these people was not beneath the current saints of the great families.

Soon, news spread throughout the Holy Region:

After three hundred years, the nine major families met again, calling this meeting “The Strive of the Great Era”.

Upon hearing the news, the entire Holy Region was shocked, and everyone began discussing it.

“The Strive of the Great Era? It sounds nice, are they just afraid?”

“Fear might be a stretch, but they don't want any surprises.”

“During the Golden Age, it's common for power structures to be shuffled. The nine major families have weathered many storms, haven't they all survived?”

“That's because no Immortal Emperors have been born. If an Immortal Emperor appears, what nine major families? They will likely disappear.”

The meeting time was soon set, just three days later.

Even the chosen meeting place was intriguing – in Sky City, where all nine major families would send representatives to discuss “important matters” in the Imperial Palace.

The Prince, who received this news, felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, and Ethan Smith had a similar feeling.

In the room, Salena Carpenter was still studying her demonic egg.

She had tried countless methods but couldn't hatch it.

Apart from the ancient aura exuded by the demonic egg, there were no other abnormalities. It was no different from a giant stone.

“It's strange, why is there no reaction from this thing?” Salena Carpenter frowned, her little head filled with confusion.

Ethan Smith glanced at it and said, “Maybe it can only hatch under specific conditions.”

“What specific conditions?” Salena Carpenter asked.

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I don't know.”

Just as they were talking, there was a knock at the door.

The visitor was no other than the Prince.

He entered Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter's room with a solemn expression on his face.

“Greetings to the Prince.” Ethan Smith stood up and said.

The Prince waved his hand, his voice low: “Ethan Smith, have you heard about The Strive of the Great Era?”

Ethan Smith nodded and replied, “I have heard of it.”

“This is likely to be a disaster.” The Prince went straight to the point.

Ethan Smith asked in surprise, “Why do you say that?”

The Prince sighed and said, “They've been wanting to cancel the special status of Sky City for a long time, but they haven't found a suitable opportunity. This time they set the meeting place in Sky City. What does this mean?”
