Countless eyes looked toward Jian Ao and the other powerhouses. According to everything that Ye Futian had said, the Original Realm would be completely placed under the rule of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, thus ending the rivalry that had been going on in the Nine Realms for many years.

Would Jian Ao and his affiliates agree to his proposal?

It seemed that they did not have a choice.

They came to apologize. Could they not comply?

At this point, if they disagreed with Ye Futian's conditions, perhaps only death would await them.

Presumably, they would already have been prepared for this when these people were on their way here.

"Very well then. What you say, we follow. I will give you my full cooperation and hand over my position to Emperor Nan," Jian Ao said. As everyone had anticipated, Jian Ao agreed to Ye Futian's conditions without even the slightest bit of hesitation. He gave up his position as Tianshen Academy's College Chief and cooperated with the power handover.

Before they came, it was true that they were already prepared.

Being able to keep their lives and their factions were already extremely fortunate. They should not be expecting that Ye Futian would conduct his reformation without disrupting them.

Likewise, this was all within Jian Ao's expectations. Hence, he complied readily.

Seeing Jian Ao's compliance, the corner of the eyes of the other aces twitched. They felt extremely unsettled. However, there was no other choice.

"Very well," he said.

"We are willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Mandate Academy." The Hierophant of the Sky Reaching School, the Martial God Clan clan lord, and the other powerhouses nodded in agreement to Ye Futian's demands. It was not like they could disagree anyways. Their only option was to lower their heads and submit.

Seeing that the strongest figures were complying immediately within the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the powerhouses felt powerful emotions surging in their hearts.

Today was bound to be a historic day in the Original Realm. From today onward, the Original Realm would be unified, and the era of the Heavenly Mandate Academy would begin.

In the past, forces in the Nine Realms governed their respective territories. Who would have thought that there would ever be a day like today? It was even less likely that people would have imagined that, in the end, the force that would unite the Nine Realms would come from the Heavenly Mandate Realm, which had once been the weakest among them all.

What's more, the faction was an emerging force. The youngest force was the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Everything was like a dream. However, this was reality.

The Empty Imperial Palace would not interfere either. Princess Donghuang once said that she would not bother with these disputes and grudges, and it was up to them to decide on their own. Ye Futian's actions were justified. Coupled with the ongoing chaos in the Original Realm, his purpose of unifying the Nine Realms was to defy undesired variations in the future. Therefore, even the Imperial Palace would have acknowledged everything that he was doing.

"Since that's the case, you may remain in the Heavenly Mandate Academy while you wait for the final arrangement," Ye Futian opened his mouth and said. The powerful figures nodded without any objection. Since they already agreed to it and they did not have the power to change anything, acceptance was the only thing they could do.

A loser must accept his fate. They were the losers, and losers were unqualified to negotiate terms and conditions. Being alive was already a gift from the opposing party.

Ye Futian turned around and looked at Emperor Nan, Lord Taixuan, and others. Every one of them was pleased. Lord Taixuan was still the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, but he left everything today for Ye Futian to decide. He was solely responsible for every decision made and every order issued.

Now, although Ye Futian had just only broken into high-level Renhuang, he already had the demeanor of a top figure. Besides, in a few years, even without their backing, Ye Futian would still be able to hold the four seas by himself.

It was believed that this day would arrive in the near future.

"My apologies, gentlemen. Your plates may have to remain full for quite some time," Ye Futian said to Emperor Nan and the others. It would naturally take some time and energy to rectify the forces of the Nine Realms. In fact, Emperor Nan was unwilling to involve himself in these affairs. But because of Ye Futian's request, coupled with the complicated situation of the Original Realm, he could only agree to stand up and take the reins of Tianshen Academy for Ye Futian.

Tianshen Academy, located in the Central Emperor Realm, was still quite important to the Nine Realms.

"It's alright. Just leave it to us," Xiao Dingtian of the Xiao Clan and said. He and the Yuanyang Clan's clan lord would serve as Vice College Chiefs of Tianshen Academy and assist Emperor Nan in managing the Academy. According to the plan, Tianshen Academy and the Heavenly Mandate Academy would work together to bring up extraordinary cultivators for the Original Realm.

All the cultivators of the Original Realm had special feelings for the Original Realm. The same was true for Emperor Nan. Therefore, he proceeded without hesitation.

Master Pudu of the Mountain Realm's Tianxian Temple was also aware that Ye Futian was not doing this for his own benefit. After all, with the power Ye Futian possessed right now, he did not need these forces to improve himself. The reason he did so was for the Original Realm. For that reason, when Ye Futian mentioned it to him, he agreed without delay to assist Ye Futian in whatever he would do next.

"Excellent. In that case, your duties are settled. In the meantime, we shall commence the construction of the teleportation grand matrixes," Ye Futian said. Immediately, the aces began arranging for everything that was about to happen.

"Futian." At this moment, Lord Taixuan suddenly opened his mouth and uttered Ye Futian's name. Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan only to hear him say, "When the Heavenly Mandate Academy was founded, your cultivation base was relatively low. That was why I served as the first College Chief. Now that many years have passed, it's been a while since you became the Heavenly Mandate Academy's core figure, and your cultivation has reached a high-level Renhuang. I think it will not take you too long to catch up with me. I guess I will return the position of the College Chief to you right now."

His words had all the aces halting their steps as they turned to look at Lord Taixuan. He wanted to retire and give Ye Futian the post of College Chief.

The people below felt a sense of admiration when they heard these words. It was true that Lord Taixuan had no selfish intentions when he assumed the post back then. Like what he said, he merely assumed the post in Ye Futian's place. And today, he wanted to return it to him. He did not want anything for himself at all.

One must know that right now that the Heavenly Mandate Academy had direct control over the Nine Realms. They could even be considered the ruler of the forces of the Original Realm. The social status of the Heavenly Mandate Academy's College Chief was only imaginable. But right at this very moment, Lord Taixuan was giving away his position.

"I still lack the necessary strength, Lord Taixuan. So, I guess I'll have you to continue to shoulder the burden," Ye Futian said. He wanted to turn down his offer. Like Lord Taixuan, he did not care about power. For them, that was insignificant.

"It's time that I return it to you," Lord Taixuan said with a smile, adhering to his own thoughts and wishes. The people around looked over, only to hear Emperor Nan say, "You are the one who singlehandedly created what we all see today. Lord Taixuan has also been burdened with many worries over the years. It is time that you let him rest."

"He's right, Futian. You should accept his offer." The others tried to persuade Ye Futian. Ye Futian looked at the familiar faces and then at the smile on Lord Taixuan's face. Immediately, having understood everyone's intention, he nodded.

Lord Taixuan turned to the crowd and said, "From today on, Ye Futian will be the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy."

Countless eyes looked in that direction. On this very day, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would unify the Original Realm. Ye Futian took over the position of the Heavenly Mandate Academy's College Chief on this very day!
