Chapter 1665: Kneel!

When Shendao Qi spoke, everyone present was stunned.

Extermination of an entire civilization?

Clearly, this genius from the Divine Dao Clan was truly enraged and wanted to establish dominance.

But this wasn't surprising. After all, the Divine Dao Civilization had been a supreme power for so many years. When had anyone ever dared to openly provoke them like this?

If they didn't kill someone to assert their authority, others really would stop taking the Divine Dao Civilization seriously.

Stellar Civilization was finished!

That was the thought in nearly everyone's mind. The wrath of a supreme civilization wasn't something lesser civilizations could withstand.

***

Stellar Civilization.

After receiving the decree from the Divine Dao Clan, the people of Stellar Civilization quickly learned the full story. In the grand hall, all of Stellar Civilization's top powerhouses had gathered.

At the head of them was Mu Ling, the current clan leader. His face was dark and grim, and he exuded a chilling, oppressive aura.

Below, the elders of the Stellar Civilization also looked extremely tense.

One elder suddenly shouted, "Those two siblings are outrageous! They actually offended the Divine Dao Civilization over someone with an unclear background. They deserve death, they..."

"Silence!" Mu Ling stood up abruptly and fixed a deadly stare on the elder. "I dare you to say that again."

The elder trembled in fear and didn't dare speak further.

The rest of the hall fell completely silent.

Mu Ling coldly swept his gaze across everyone. "Do you think this is just those two's business? Is it?"

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure spread throughout the hall, suffocating everyone.

Mu Ling clenched his right fist tightly. Furious, he said, "Damn it! Just one disciple from the Divine Dao Civilization dares to shout at us and threatens that if we don't give an explanation, they'll kill any of us they see.

"Fuck that! Maybe our Stellar Civilization isn't at its peak like before, but we're not so weak that anyone can just step on us!"

Then, he raised his voice even more, shouting, "Someone! Send word to Xinghe and Xingchen at the Forbidden Divine Tomb. Tell them in front of everyone that no matter what they do, our Stellar Civilization will support them unconditionally! Make sure it's announced publicly!"

"Yes, sir!" A Stellar Civilization expert vanished into the void, heading toward the Forbidden Divine Tomb.

Several elders in the hall hesitated. Offending the Divine Dao Civilization was no joke.

Mu Ling glanced around at them. "Yes, we're not as strong as the Divine Dao Civilization, but remember this. If we let our bones be broken just because of a single sentence from one of their juniors, do you think this civilization has any hope? If one disciple from the Divine Dao Clan doesn't even treat us like people, then why should we treat them like people? Stellar Civilization would rather die standing than live kneeling. If anyone fears retaliation from the Divine Dao Clan, you can leave right now."

No one moved.

One elder sighed, saying, "The clan leader is right. If we really bowed down just because of one sentence from a young disciple and executed our two most gifted geniuses, we would never be able to lift our heads in front of any other civilization again."

The others suddenly woke up. When they'd first heard that Mu Xinghe and Mu Xingchen had offended the Divine Dao Civilization over a stranger, they'd been furious and wanted to execute the two immediately to appease the Divine Dao Clan.

"Once they calmed down, they realized that doing so would truly spell the end of the Stellar Civilization.

A civilization without backbone or blood would never have a future. No one would respect them. Worse still, once others saw that they lacked spine, it wouldn't just be the Divine Dao Clan bullying them.

In short, the bullies would become endless.

This was just a dispute between juniors, but the Divine Dao Civilization actually wanted to exterminate an entire civilization?

Mu Ling suddenly said, "Go to the ancestral grounds. If the Divine Dao Clan dares to bully Xinghe and Xingchen, then our Stellar Civilization will do whatever it takes to slaughter some of their geniuses."

With that, he led the elders toward the ancestral grounds where their ancestors lay in rest, and also where their last trump card was hidden.

If they had to fight the Divine Dao Civilization, then it would be all or nothing!

***

Forbidden Divine Tomb.

Mu Xinghe looked a little pale.

Unlike his sister, he didn't take things lightly. She never overthinks things. If she had to fight, she would fight. She had always been like that, straightforward and direct.

However, Mu Xinghe was different. He knew just how serious this was.

Boom!

Just then, the distant void split open. A streak of starlight shot through the crack, and an old man appeared in the field.

A messenger from Stellar Civilization!

Everyone looked toward the elder. He nodded to Mu Xingchen and Mu Xinghe, then turned to face Shendao Qi and said, "The clan leader has issued a decree. No matter what decision Mu Xinghe and Mu Xingchen make, Stellar Civilization will support them unconditionally! Unconditionally! Unconditionally! Unconditionally!!"

Everyone was speechless.

No one could deny it; they were stunned.

Stellar Civilization had guts!

Everyone had expected them to cave, to execute Mu Xingchen and Mu Xinghe to calm Shendao Qi's fury.

But no one expected them to go head-to-head with the Divine Dao Civilization.

It wasn't wise, but it was damn brave.

Now, even powerhouses from other civilizations couldn't help but admire them and even envy the siblings.

They knew if they had angered a Divine Dao Clan genius, their own civilizations would have sacrificed them without hesitation.

Not far away, Shendao Qi suddenly laughed. "Very good. Truly interesting. Your Stellar Civilization doesn't have the fate of a supreme civilization, but you have the illness of one... In that case, let my Divine Dao Civilization give you the cure..."

Just then, Ye Guan calmly raised a hand and pressed downward.

"Kneel."

Thump!

Before anyone could react, Shendao Qi's knees buckled and he dropped straight to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

What just happened?

Even Shendao Qi was dazed.

Ye Guan looked at him, now kneeling, and said, "Cure what? Say it again."

"How dare you!" An old man behind Shendao Qi roared. "You dare insult the Divine Dao Civilization—"

Ye Guan pointed a finger at him.

"Kneel."

Thump!

Without any suspense, the old man was immediately subdued by a terrifying divine law and fell to his knees on the spot.

Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

Ye Guan looked around the field. "Anyone else want to know how cold the ground is with their knees?"

A deathly silence descended.
