My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The Demon Eye Great Monarch's prophecy likely delivers quite precise results!

It may even manifest his hidden and unfathomable methods through a mere gaze.

Dead Bone's worries are not without reason.

Mu Yuan is concerned as well.

"Fortunately, the Deep Space gaze earlier caused the Demon Eye Great Monarch to suffer backlash, rendering him incapable of deploying similar great force techniques in the short term."

"However..."

To penetrate the Red Mist Land, traverse billions upon billions of miles, and annihilate this Demon Eye Great Monarch—is this even feasible?

No, it is an outright impossibility!

He needs to attend to more pragmatic matters, such as defending against the assaults of multiple Overlord Powers and numerous adversaries.

This is no easy task!

Lapis and Dead Bone only need to focus on cultivation and grow stronger to eliminate their enemies, but Mu Yuan, as Lord Shepherd, has far more to consider.

He shoulders the responsibility of Tianyuan Territory—its one city, thirteen towns, and a million citizens!

"This is not solely Tianyuan City's concern."

"Since the potential enemy offensive is already known, we must recruit as many allies as possible."

Shen Yao, Qi Cheng, Xi Mo, Starfall...

These major nations could be allies.

After all, if Tianyuan City faces attacks from multiple Overlord Powers, then human forces fighting directly against these powers are naturally allies by default.

However...

The strength of these major nations is also stretched thin.

Even if Mu Yuan raises alarm, all these neighboring powers can do is focus more on their own ongoing confrontations in the Saint Realm.

Other major nations, opportunistic as ever, are more likely to launch offensives, severing an arm of an Overlord force,

rather than allocate freed-up resources to aid Tianyuan City.

Such is the nature of each nation's interests.

Moreover...

Realistically, high-dimensional combat power across the Eternal World isn't solely drawn from major nations.

It isn't solely embodied by historical titans like Myriad Phenomena Empire either.

Rather...

The Legends!

Countless Legends residing hidden across regions of the world are the pinnacle of strength here.

Compared to national Saint Realm figures stationed at various locations, hidden Legends can intervene at any moment.

But...

Hidden Legends rarely take action, even more rarely to aid nations in battle.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be hidden Legends but rather active Legends.

Mu Yuan intends to seek out these Legends.

Coincidentally, Tai Xuan Alliance shares similar aspirations.

"Persuade the Legends?"

Within the Nine-Color Tower, Mu Yuan's manifested avatar materialized and questioned.

Lin Guozhu slightly nodded.

He replied, "Our Tai Xuan Alliance reveres two Legendary Lives."

"One resides within the Nirvana Secret Realm, the Nirvana Divine Phoenix, or Nirvana Monarch."

"The other lives in the depths of the East Sea, the Divine Dragon, or Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate."

"Both share old ties with Tai Xuan. Historically, during two critical crises, they intervened and turned back the tide. The alliance holds deep gratitude toward these two Legends; however, asking the Phoenix Venerate and Dragon Venerate to act now won't be easy."

"Legends have their considerations. They promised to intervene in times of grave peril for Tai Xuan, but asking them to act during peace—even the Four Pillars don't have that standing."

"That said, in my opinion, you might stand a chance."

No harm in trying!

Lin Guozhu also hopes Tianyuan can bring the Phoenix Venerate and Dragon Venerate into action.

If accomplished, Tai Xuan Alliance's burden would greatly lighten.

Furthermore,

"Though Legendary Lives remain elusive in ordinary crises, indifferent even to the fall of a city, territory or nation…"

Most Legends are innately Legends.

Being entirely distinct from most living beings.

And superior even to that.

To the majority of Legends, ordinary living beings are no different from ants, whether a thousand, a million, or a billion perish—they don't care.

But when corruption erodes lands, plunging Great Domains into ruin, Legends do care.

"Hence, during grand calamities, sightings of hidden Legends do emerge occasionally."

Lin Guozhu added, "Since Legends are bound to act eventually, with intentions already stewing, we can sway them to act at the opportune moment, even if only once or twice. For this, our Tai Xuan Alliance is willing to display ample sincerity."

Sincerity is secondary.

If Legends could truly be moved solely by sincerity or compensation...

They would've long been swayed by stronger nations like Yongxing Empire or Shen Mu Dynasty.

Critical instead...

Is to find individuals capable of catching a Legend's eye.

Lin Guozhu, having interacted with numerous Legends himself, understands clearly:

Most humans are mere insignificant specks to Legends, akin to lifeless symbols, akin to roadside gravel or stray weeds.

A Legend doesn't spare even a glance.

Only the rarest of the rare individuals earn a Legend's recognition as "human," meriting a genuine look.

And an exceptionally tiny handful—or perhaps none—might capture a Legend's favor.

But Tianyuan...

He is a man capable of rallying Legendary Lives!

Not to mention the Angel Legend he once recruited, Tianyuan possesses powerful nurturing methods and unparalleled charisma.

If not for this, how could he have effortlessly drawn in one supreme talent after another?

Years prior, during the Heroic Festival, countless heroes vied to pledge allegiance to Tianyuan Territory, revealing but a mere fraction of his appeal.

Lin Guozhu said, "Your charisma surpasses even mine from youth by a notch. We elders, Old Bai included, concur that if it's you, there's a chance you may persuade one or two Legends to emerge."

Of course,

Lin Guozhu doesn't realistically expect to venerate an additional Legend.

However, if even one Legendary Saint Realm figure could lend their hand at critical moments—or sway slightly in favor of Tai Xuan Alliance—it would suffice.

Mu Yuan listened and his mouth twitched faintly.

What charisma could he possibly possess?

It isn't charisma that drew such powerful figures to him.

The reason for Tianyuan City's assemblage of mighty individuals is all due to his sheer diligence and effort!

Mu Yuan worried about disappointing Lin Guozhu's expectations.

However...

No harm in trying.

He was already considering visiting various Legends.

If successful, it would bring great fortune; if not, no loss incurred.

Moreover, without this assigned task, tracking down and meeting such elusive Legends would have proven far more challenging.

Hidden indeed means hidden, after all.

Even in regions rumored to harbor Legends, a glimpse of their true presence remains impossible for most.

Even for those in the Law Realm.

As these Legends are fully realized beings, true Saints.

"I'll do my best."

Mu Yuan said.

Lin Guozhu beamed, "That's all I can ask. The future of Tai Xuan lies in the hands of you young people."

With that, Lin Guozhu unveiled one unique token after another.

Colorful feathers;

Bright blue dragon scales;

And more.

Possessing these tokens is the minimum prerequisite to meeting the elusive Legends.

Mu Yuan took these tokens...

Well, he couldn't exactly take them.

After all, he was merely a manifested avatar.

Soon enough,

These tokens were transported to Tianyuan City via Tai Xuan's most advanced channels.

"Now then, the first destination is..."

Mu Yuan will journey in person.

Persuading Legends naturally requires direct engagement—a fundamental gesture of respect.

He bore no concerns for his safety.

Mu Yuan turned to Lapis.

Lapis responded, "Understood."

She extended her hand.

Upon her ascension to the Great Monarch Level, her full power unfolded.

"Guard!"

The pinnacle force of Lapis's Guard authority—the unique Guardian Blessing—was bestowed upon Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan could either activate this blessing's power voluntarily or have it triggered passively during crises.

When invoked, he would receive divine protection.

The blessing's potency equated to Lapis being personally present.

Of course, Mu Yuan also prepared numerous other measures.

Everything was now in order.

His journey awaited.

"First destination, Nirvana Secret Realm."

For negotiating with Legends, fewer people proved better than a crowd.

Thus, Mu Yuan only brought Sophia and Jun along before setting out.

Initially, he intended to take Isloa.

Isloa, too, was eager to meet—study—the elusive Legends.

However, knowing full well that enemies might strike at any moment, the wielder of the Ancient Mage Tower, Isloa, couldn't afford to venture far.

Mu Yuan contemplated.

Through the World Tunnel and riding aboard the Jun-crafted Soaring Nine Heavens,

He arrived at the Great City of Nirvana in the blink of an eye.
