Chapter 1071

The main purpose of gathering the elites of the human race in the Heaven's Origin Realm was to unite all parties to deal with the Dragon Race.

The second reason was to select the Five Sacred Generals.

Currently, the entire war situation was led by the three supreme commanders. However, Mysterious Dark Realm commanders wouldn't easily appear on the battlefield.

Hence, the Five Sacred Generals were especially important. The Heaven's Origin Realm was filled with outstanding people and there were too many candidates. Hence, this method of selection was used.

As early as three days ago, the list of candidates for the Five Sacred Generals was announced.

Among them, there were many famous people, respected seniors, and some unknown people who had never been heard of before.

The selection hadn't started yet. The activities on the spot were mostly about 'canvassing for votes'.

Even with Qin Wentian's pride, he still had a smile on his face as he interacted with the experts of the various powers.

In particular, after sensing the threat coming from Chen Yu, he worked even harder.

He had to defeat Chen Yu!

Chen Yu had some thoughts about becoming a Sacred General, but he didn't have any special desire. Hence, he didn't play the same trick as Qin Wentian.

Even so, there were always some people around him, including Miao Shui 'er, her grandfather, the Grand Elder of the Profound Yu Pavilion, the Wind Spirit Sect Leader and his partner, etc.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around Chen Yu.

There were around one to two hundred human captives in the hunting grounds. At least a hundred and fifty of them managed to escape back to the human race.

Most of these people were at the Void Sea Realm, and a small number were at the Star Condensation Realm.

In the Heaven's Origin Realm, Star Condensation Realm experts could already be considered as experts whose names shook the entire realm.

"Benefactor, I have no way to repay you for saving my life that day."

A golden-robed man clasped his hands and bowed solemnly when he saw Chen Yu.

Qin Wentian, who was trying to establish a relationship with the experts of the various powers, glanced at Chen Yu.

It would have been better if he hadn't seen it, but when he did, he was shocked.

He saw that around twenty people had gathered around Chen Yu, and all of them were chatting with Chen Yu enthusiastically.

"Damn, how did he get to know so many people?"

Qin Wentian felt indignant.

Since Chen Yu knew so many people, why did he need his help to fill in the blanks?

"Seems like he's really playing with me."

Qin Wentian's countenance turned somewhat sinister.

No matter what, he had to occupy a place among the Five Great Sage Generals.

For this, he was willing to pay a price.

"Chen Engong, you actually came back alive."

An excited voice rang out, and a gray-robed old man hurriedly walked into Chen Yu.

This grey-robed old man was the only Star Condensation cultivator among the group of people who had followed Chen Yu at the beginning.

The gray-robed old man originally thought that Chen Yu died in the Dragon Clan in order to save them, so he could only remember this kindness in his heart.

"Benefactor, if you have any requests in the future, just let me know. I will climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames for you."

Almost everyone was grateful to Chen Yu for saving their lives.

However, they knew nothing about Chen Yu, not even his name.

Now that they had met by chance, the people who had been saved by Chen Yu back then were all incomparably excited and wanted to repay his kindness.

If they were captured by the Dragon Clan, they would undoubtedly die, and before they died, they would even be tortured. As a captive, all of them were filled with despair and despair.

Because of this, they would always remember Chen Yu's kindness.

And now, Chen Yu's name was also known to all of them.

"Chen Yu."

Most people couldn't think of anything based on this name.

"Chen Yu? Benefactor, that Chen Yu among the Five Great Sage Generals, is that you? "

The grey-robed old man seemed to have recalled something.

"That's right!"

Chen Yu smiled and nodded.

Things seemed to be going more smoothly than expected. Back then, he had saved many humans, and this kindness was enough for these people to support Chen Yu's candidacy.

"What did you do in the past?"

Lin Yuxuan transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian.

She was extremely shocked by what had happened to Chen Yu, and also felt a little envious.

"Hehe, I just saved many people when I first came to the Heaven Origin World."

Chen Yu replied with a smile.

"Given benefactor's courage and righteousness, you definitely have the qualifications to become one of the Five Great Sage Generals. The two votes in my hands belong to benefactor."

The grey-robed old man said.

The selection of the Five Great Sage Generals was mainly based on voting.

Some had more votes, while others had fewer.

The final result, if there was no major dispute, would be the top five.

"I finally have the chance to repay benefactor. I will definitely support benefactor to become one of the Sacred Generals!"

The others also expressed their support.

Originally, when Chen Yu and Qin Wentian entered this place, Qin Wentian was the one who attracted the most attention.

But now, even more people cast curious gazes towards Chen Yu.

"Who is this person? He actually knows so many people, but I have never heard of him before. "

"From what sect leader Fengling and the others said, it seems that they all owe Chen Yu a great favor."

Gradually, Chen Yu's deeds spread.

Other than those who were saved by Chen Yu, many people were filled with admiration when they heard of Chen Yu's deeds.

A major character who was conversing with Qin Wentian couldn't help but speak, "To think that this person was the one who entered the depths of the Dragon Race and rescued so many captives. Such an outstanding talent, this king has never heard of him before."

Qin Wentian felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart when he heard these words.

"Oh ya, Wentian, that person seems to have come together with you?"

"Mhm, that's right, he's one of my junior apprentices."

Qin Wentian froze, he could only reply like this.

Right now, he felt some regret. He shouldn't have helped Chen Yu back then.

"However, my chances of winning are still very high. Chen Yu's foundation is too shallow. Even if he roped in a group of supporters in a short period of time, he still wouldn't be my opponent."

Qin Wentian silently mused.

At a certain moment.

An ancient voice drifted over from the depths of the great hall.

"Next, the selection of the Five Great Sage Generals will begin. Those who are able to enter this place will each have at least one vote. You can vote for the same person or separately."

The crowd instantly fell silent.

The most important event of this Human Race Grand Meeting was the selection of the Five Great Sage Generals.

Swish …

Sixty-eight silvery-white jade stones suddenly flew over from afar.

If one looked closely, they would discover that each of the jade stones had a name engraved on it.

Sixty-eight silvery-white jade stones quietly floated above the heads of the crowd.

"Let the voting begin!"

As the sound of the voice faded, Chen Yu saw someone 'voting'.

"Brother Chen, my vote is for you."

Miao Shui 'er said.

She condensed her true energy and transformed it into a palm-sized jade token. After that, Miao Shui 'er used her spiritual sense to inscribe her name on the jade token.

Swish!

Miao Shui 'er's jade token flew into the silvery-white jade stone with Chen Yu's name engraved on it.

In an instant, the jade token disappeared, fusing into the silvery-white jade stone.

"The stone with my name engraved on it is a special spatial treasure. There's an internal space within it. Once the jade token enters the internal space, it will be isolated from the outside world.

Chen Yu, who had the third-level Profound Meaning of Space, sensed the voting process with just a little bit of effort.

At the same time, the sixty-eight silvery-white jade stones glowed and slowly rose.

"The more votes, the brighter the light? In that case, the top five will be clear at a glance. "

Chen Yu looked at the light on the sixty-eight silvery-white jade stones, which were all rising rapidly.

His gaze fell on the silvery-white jade that was rising the fastest.

"Situ … Linyu!"

Chen Yu looked at the four big words on it in disbelief.

Is it the same person?

"The first place should be Situ Linyu. There's no doubt about that, but it's not like benefactor has no hope."

The grey-robed old man said.

"I've been living in seclusion and know nothing about this person. May I know what's so special about him?"

Chen Yu asked.

The grey-robed old man was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Yu didn't know about Situ Linyu.

"Brother Chen, Situ Linyu is a genius of the human race. At such a young age, he already has a late-stage Star Condensation cultivation."

Miao Shui 'er didn't think much about it and immediately introduced him.

Late-Stage Star Condensation?

If this Situ Linyu was really the person he knew, Chen Yu found it hard to believe that the other party had such achievements.

"Brother Chen is also very strong. After all, Situ Linyu is the reincarnation of the Thearch Lord."

Miao Shui 'er's next words stunned Chen Yu once again.

Situ Linyu, the reincarnation of the Thearch Lord?

Chen Yu suddenly felt a commotion in the crowd. He saw a handsome man slowly appear in the crowd. The other party had an extraordinary aura and was the center of attention.

"It's really him!"

The handsome man's figure overlapped with the good friend in Chen Yu's memories.

"I really didn't expect him to be a Mysterious Nether reincarnator."

Chen Yu sighed.

In the past, Situ Linyu had always given Chen Yu a strange feeling that he couldn't see through him.

Both of them came from the Kunyun Realm. The other geniuses from his hometown were left far behind by Chen Yu. Only Situ Linyu and Chen Yu met in the Great Cosmos Realm and maintained the same cultivation progress.

Back then, Chen Yu was a little surprised and puzzled. Now, everything was explained.

"Chen, you seem to be a little lacking in the selection of the Five Sacred Generals."

Not far away, Qin Wentian suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Yu's thoughts.

Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the many silver-white jade stones in the sky. Although the voting had not ended, the rankings were already very clear.

Situ Linyu was once the Thearch Lord of the Heaven's Origin Realm, so it was naturally not difficult for him to become a Sacred General.

And Qin Wentian was stable in fifth place.

Chen Yu could only be ranked seventh.

"Sigh, benefactor, if you had appeared earlier, with your previous achievements, you would have won the hearts of many people. There would definitely be no problem for you to become one of the Five Sacred Generals …"

The grey-robed old man sighed.

Qin Wentian also agreed with this point. In his heart, he felt that he had won because of luck.

Chen Yu's achievements were only known by a small number of people. Most people had not heard of him.

Moreover, Chen Yu at least needed the support of a few big shots to have a higher chance of winning. And some of the people he had saved were mostly at the Void Sea Realm.

At this moment.

"Chen Yu?"

A voice came from not far away.

The crowd instantly quietened down. This kind of situation usually meant that the person who spoke was of a high status.

"Situ Linyu?"

Qin Wentian looked over, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Situ Linyu was once the Thearch Lord of the Heaven's Origin Realm. He was plotted against by the Dragon Clan and died, but he was reincarnated using a special method.

In his previous life, he was the Thearch Lord and had long accumulated a great reputation. Naturally, it was not difficult for him to become one of the Five Sacred Generals.

But how did he know Chen Yu?

Wasn't this Chen Yu's first time in the Heaven's Origin Realm?

"Brother Situ, I didn't expect to see you again. How have you been?"

Chen Yu also greeted him.

"I also didn't expect to see an 'old friend'."

Situ Linyu said meaningfully.

Old friend?

When the surrounding people heard this, they guessed in their hearts. Could it be that Situ Linyu, the Thearch Lord of the Mysterious Nether Realm in his previous life, had a friendship with Chen Yu?
