"There’s no reason not to trust you?" the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor said in a deep voice. "Where does your confidence come from?"

"It’s simple," Su Yang replied with a faint smile. "In a hundred years, your Great Saint Emperor will have emerged from seclusion. By then, if I haven’t handed over these spiritual sources to you, your Great Saint Emperor will personally come for me without your intervention. Do you think I would dare break my promise?"

The Golden Dragon Saint Emperor took a deep breath; Su Yang wasn’t lying. Their Great Saint Emperor would indeed emerge from seclusion in a hundred years. If Su Yang hadn’t delivered the spiritual sources by then, the Great Saint Emperor would not treat him kindly.

The Great Saint Emperor was unwilling to leave seclusion now due to his severe injuries. Should he encounter any unexpected events upon emerging, there was a risk of meeting his demise. The Great Saint Emperor cherished his life even more than a regular Saint Emperor did.

However, once the Great Saint Emperor’s injuries healed, even the Guardian God would dare to challenge him, let alone Su Yang.

Thinking this, the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor felt a sense of reassurance. He stared at Su Yang for a while and nodded slowly, "Very well, I’ll trust you this time. But remember your words; if you don’t provide the spiritual sources in a hundred years, you know the consequences!"

"Of course," Su Yang nodded calmly, smiling faintly. "In that case, I would like to ask everyone to return for now?"

The Golden Dragon Saint Emperor said no more and turned to leave with the Demon Beast Saint Emperor.

Witnessing all this, the people of the True Martial Realm cheered at once.

Though Su Yang had previously said he would protect the True Martial Realm, people didn’t hold much hope in their hearts.

Now, witnessing this scene with their own eyes, seeing the Demon Beast Clan retreat, they realized the True Martial Realm was indeed saved. Their hearts were filled with great joy, feeling as if they had escaped from a dire situation!

The Purple Profound Saint Emperor personally came forth, repeatedly thanking Su Yang.

Su Yang remained calm, waving his hand, indicating there was no need for excitement, and led the people of the True Martial Realm back to the True Martial Realm directly.

Returning to the Saint Emperor Hall, the excitement among the people was still unabated.

However, Su Yang’s companions were not so optimistic. Especially the three Crystal Skulls who had been following Su Yang closely, their faces were full of astonishment.

They couldn’t understand why Su Yang promised the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor those spiritual sources. They knew the Human Clan was also in dire need of spiritual sources. To provide the Demon Beast Clan with the spiritual sources of an intermediate world, where would they find them? Could they possibly destroy an intermediate world themselves to supply the Demon Beast Clan? If that were the case, would saving the True Martial Realm be meaningful?

"Boss, in a hundred years, where will we find so many spiritual sources?" the Great City Lord couldn’t help but ask.

A hundred years may seem long, but for the Great World, it was just a fleeting moment. Thus, the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor agreed to Su Yang’s proposal.

Su Yang remained composed and said softly, "I have my plans; you needn’t worry!"

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances, uncertain how to feel about Su Yang’s confident words. Facing such matters, it’s impossible not to worry.

The people of the True Martial Realm didn’t concern themselves as much; their excitement remained uncontainable, coming frequently to thank Su Yang.

Even figures like An Yang Saint Emperor were completely astounded, gazing at Su Yang with newfound reverence.

Su Yang, however, disregarded these reactions. He assigned the three Crystal Skulls to handle matters within the True Martial Realm. Meanwhile, he sought out Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was just a step away from the Saint Emperor level. Over the course of three days, Su Yang took him into the starry sky for training and personally sparred with him. Finally, under Su Yang’s guidance, Su Yuan took that crucial step, entering the realm of the Saint Emperor.

By elevating Su Yuan to this level, Su Yang felt he had no further concerns for the True Martial Realm. With Su Yuan now a Saint Emperor, he possessed the ability to protect himself, relieving Su Yang of excessive worry over the affairs of the True Martial Realm.

Following the previous arrangements, every ten years, the True Martial Realm needed to send a batch of Saint Emperors to work in the Heavenly War Alliance.

Su Yang took these Saint Emperors with him, wasting no time, and headed straight to another intermediate world. Under such circumstances, he sought to rescue these intermediate worlds, gradually garnering enough Human Clan members by his side to enhance the Heavenly War Alliance’s strength steadily.

Simultaneously, during this process, Su Yang continuously selected new Saint Emperors from the remnants he brought out to assist him, allowing the ranks of the Heavenly War Alliance to grow swiftly.

A hundred years flew by, during which Su Yang saved over thirty intermediate worlds, not only making the Heavenly War Alliance a hundred times stronger but also establishing its name widely.

Initially, Su Yang had to fight against those Demon Beast Saint Emperors, defeating them with his immense strength, then coercing them into sparing the intermediate worlds. Later, Su Yang no longer needed to make a move; merely appearing with members of the Heavenly War Alliance and making a promise would convince the Demon Beast Saint Emperors to relent.

As of now, Su Yang’s reputation in the Great World surpassed even that of the Great Saint Emperor. The Heavenly War Alliance, once despised by all, had transformed public perception entirely. In the eyes of the Human Clan, the Heavenly War Alliance now served as a Guardian God; whenever danger loomed, the first thought of the Saint Emperors was to seek help from the Heavenly War Alliance.

This was precisely the outcome Su Yang desired. A century of effort finally changed the Human Clan’s perspective. While Su Yang couldn’t quite command instant obedience, he had garnered significant influence among the Human Clan. If Su Yang handled the upcoming challenge well, the Heavenly War Alliance would firmly establish itself in the Great World.

The upcoming challenge was the fulfillment of Su Yang’s promise to the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor, regarding the spiritual sources due in a hundred-year duration.

During these hundred years, Su Yang had promised spiritual sources to over thirty Demon Beast Saint Emperors alongside saving the intermediate worlds. The first of these promises was now due, with all beings from both the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan, even the Guardian God watching Su Yang, wondering if he could fulfill his past promise and provide the Golden Dragon Saint Emperor with the spiritual sources of an intermediate world.

If Su Yang could deliver these spiritual sources, his reputation in the Great World would climb further. Moving forward, Su Yang’s prestige and influence in both the Human and Demon Beast Clans would reach unprecedented levels.

However, if Su Yang failed to produce these spiritual sources, everything he built over the past century would crumble completely. Without trust, he would lose influence altogether, and the Heavenly War Alliance he built from scratch would once again face condemnation from all.
