Some powerful figures refused to open up the seal.
Seeing this, James exhaled a breath of relief. The seal was collectively set up by the Ten Great Races, so it could only be removed if all of them opened it together. Not one more, not one less.
Now that the other Races did not agree with Youri’s proposal to open up the seal, his plan has met a dead end.
Youri’s palms faced up as he said, “I’ve explained what I must. I’ve nothing else to add if you refuse to open the seal.”
So, Youri turned silent. Seal or no seal, it mattered little to him. But it was true that he heard that Chaos Power was cultivated by a human. He wanted to use this opportunity to prove his innocence, see whether a human escaped into the Greater Realm and impersonated him to incite mayhem. But alas, his explanations were to no avail.
Many powerful figures resumed their discussion. But, nothing came out of those discussions after half a day. They believed in Youri’s innocence and that someone was up to no good. However, opening up the seal just for the sake of verification was something that they were not ready to do.
The rest of these figures did not believe Youri. They felt that Youri must have made secret arrangements with humans. This party was held not to clarify what had happened, but to open up the seal and let humans loose.
No matter what, those who were present refused to remove the seal of the Primordial Realm.
Facing this situation, Dolph did not say anything much and merely allowed the powerful figures to draw conclusions on their own. Yet, these discussions were futile.
Dolph decided to stand up and announce in an optimistic tone, “Everyone, let’s not ruminate over this matter for now. How about we talk about the Chaos Sacred Lotus?”
His words attracted the attention of some powerful figures. The Lotus was the reason they have come so far. The key, on the other hand, was something that did not merit their worry. After all, even if Soren was released, that would mean that the Great Realm would have one more powerful figure, and would only be a threat to the most powerful races. For the ordinary races, it would not be a concern.
“Patriarch, what are the rules for this tournament? And where will it be held?” someone asked.
The Dooms have long discussed such matters. What Youri proposed was out of desperation.
Dolph responded to the question by saying, “The tournament this time will be held in the Primal Universe.”
“The Primal Universe?” Many of the powerful figures could not help but stand up.
“Patriarch, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”
“Exactly. The Primal Universe is the oldest universe in the Greater Realms and has long been abandoned. There are so many residual Formations there that even an Acmean would die if he was trapped inside.”
There was an uproar, and Dolph had to suppress the commotion. The arena turned silent once again.
“Crisis and opportunity are mutually constitutive. The Primal Universe is dangerous but also filled with numerous boons. The rules for this tournament are very simple. Five living beings will form a group and enter the Primal Universe together. The time limit is thirty thousand years. In these years, all groups can kill each other freely. The last surviving group will be awarded the Chaos Sacred Lotus. During this time, leaving the Primal Universe equals forfeiting your participation.”
