Chapter - 3298

Heavenly God nodded silently, his expression solemn.

Zeke continued, "To our knowledge, there are only two warriors of the Demi-Emperor Class in this world. One is the God Emperor, while the other is Vassilios. Vassilios was also human. He wouldn't oppress his own kind, would he? So... is it the God Emperor secretly suppressing humans?"

Canopus lowered his voice and said, "You should know that the God Emperor has only recently become a Demi-Emperor. However, the oppression of humans has been in existence for tens of thousands of years."

Zeke's heart skipped a beat. "So, you mean... it is actually Vassilios suppressing humans-"

Before he could finish speaking, Heavenly God immediately covered Zeke's mouth with his hand. "Shut up. Don't speak nonsense."

Zeke quickly zipped his mouth.

Vassilios was all-powerful, to the extent that he might have been able to eavesdrop on Zeke.

Therefore, one must never dare to gossip about Vassilios behind his back.

Otherwise, one could face a terrible death with a single thought from him.

Zeke looked at the president with a questioning look in his eyes.

He was curious as to why Vassilios would oppress his own kind when the man was also human.

Heavenly God said, "A powerful warrior has his own way of thinking. The mindset of those in that class is not something we, the weak, can understand. Alright, let's not discuss this any further. Now that you've caused such a commotion, I'm afraid a great war among all races is about to begin."

Then, he ordered, "Inform all ancient martial houses to send their warriors over as soon as possible, Canopus and Polaris. In the event that a war breaks out among all races, we won't be caught off guard."

Canopus and Polaris nodded. "Okay. We will llnotify them right away."

The two of them went to the side and began notifying the ancient martial houses.

Zeke asked the president, "Mr. President, can you tell me the class of warriors generally nurtured by the ancient martial houses?"

"Why not? Apart from the Eternal Class, every martial house can cultivate dozens of Nebula Class warriors and hundreds of Sun and Moon Class warriors. As for the Celestial Class and below, they are simply too numerous to count," Heavenly God answered.

"How many martial artists are there in total among all the ancient martial houses?" Zeke asked.

After pondering briefly, Heavenly God said, "I suppose a few hundred thousand."

Zeke was astonished. "That many?"

Heavenly God nodded.

Each martial house typically recruits a few thousand martial arts prodigies from outside every year, integrating them for cultivation."

Zeke was taken aback. "So, you're saying that I don't even qualify to be chosen by the ancient martial houses?"

Heavenly God shook his head and said, "Given your qualifications, there should be no issue for you to be selected into an ancient martial house. As for why you weren't chosen, I'm not sure. After all, I'm not in charge of that."

At that moment, Canopus approached.

He interjected, "After you came of age, you spent most of your time in Oakheart City. Coincidentally, I was responsible for selecting martial arts prodigies from that city. Back then, you must have just been released from prison, wandering and drifting. It was understandable that I didn't seek you out. Moreover, as the chosen one, your destiny is arranged by the heavens themselves. It's not something we can forcibly alter. The heavens intended for you to gain experience among ordinary people. Only then could you achieve what you have attained today, possibly reaching the Eternal Class and even the Demi- Emperor Class. If we had taken you to the ancient martial houses, you might not have achieved what you have today, let alone reach the Eternal Class and Demi-Emperor Class."

Zeke nodded thoughtfully.

He was well aware that everything he had achieved was the result of his relentless hard work and risking his life. It had little to do with luck.

As for whether he was the so-called "chosen one," that was still up for debate.

Polaris also walked over. "We have already notified the ancient martial houses. They are prepared for teleportation."
