Chapter 1185: Chapter 63: Compromise (Part 2)
Before the person had a chance to answer, another Thirteen Realms spoke first:
“True Saint, please don’t wrong us. We still hold great respect for you, True Saint. It’s just that we’re not in control of ourselves. After all, I was one of the original Saint Emperors who followed you.”
This person was naturally an acquaintance of Wang Sheng, even one of his subordinates, the Boundless Saint Emperor, whom he valued.
Of course, he wasn’t the real Boundless Saint Emperor, but something created by the Corrosive Fate Dao.
“True Saint, this person was inherently extreme, influenced by his Twelfth Realm elder, believing that if it weren’t for you producing the Dao Fruit, perhaps his elder could have reached the Thirteenth Realm. Of course, this is a matter of the future.
Additionally, as you’re well aware, when we’re summoned, our personalities and such are affected, so naturally, we don’t look favorably upon you.”
The people summoned by the Corrosive Fate Dao carry all the memories of the original body.
Not only that, but they also possess memories of the “future.”
Therefore, they know quite a lot.
Wang Sheng sneered, “So, the descendant of a failure, and in the end, an even greater failure.”
Being treated like that himself, he naturally wouldn’t be polite.
After speaking, he directly eliminated the person and then looked at the “Boundless Saint Emperor.” This person’s true body was considered his loyalist, even if they were summoned by the Corrosive Fate Dao, they showed some respect to him. Although he couldn’t discern the sincerity of that respect, he didn’t mind taking advantage of it.
“I didn’t expect even my subordinates could be summoned. You speak up, are you trying to tell me the truth?”
Upon hearing this, the “Boundless Saint Emperor” suddenly broke into a grin and said, “True Saint, of course, I can tell you. However, your power is so formidable that even six Thirteen Realms Supremes are no match for you. In fact, before I came here, I knew that I was most likely not your equal, yet they still sent us here. What do you think is the reason?”
When it comes to revealing the truth, the “Boundless Saint Emperor” had no intention of hiding anything.
Yet, the more this was so, the bigger the issue became.
The “Boundless Saint Emperor” understood this, and so did Wang Sheng.
Before Wang Sheng could speak, the “Boundless Saint Emperor” spoke on his own: “That’s because even if you know, you can’t do anything, nor change the outcome. Our coming here is merely a simple attempt. Even if we fail, it won’t matter at all.”
Wang Sheng furrowed his brows, “What do you mean?”
“True Saint, our ability to enter the Supreme Path you created is the answer. The starry sky suppresses us, and we can only appear in the starry sky where the Fate Dao resides. But now, we’ve appeared here. What do you think has gone wrong?”
The answer was already quite obvious.
What went wrong?
It was, of course, the starry sky.
The Corrosive Fate Dao’s power could manifest in some parts of the starry sky, but in others, it was completely absent; this was clearly due to the suppression of the starry sky.
Had something really gone wrong with the starry sky?
Wang Sheng looked at the smiling “Boundless Saint Emperor” filled with doubt.
He knew very well that, despite the apparent respect from the “Boundless Saint Emperor,” such respect was unlikely to provide real information.
How could someone under control have independent awareness?
Their words might not be credible.
Wang Sheng thought for a moment before saying, “I suppose there’s nothing more to say?”
The “Boundless Saint Emperor,” still smiling, replied, “Yes, it seems the True Saint is about to act. It’s not unexpected.”
Even as a “Boundless Saint Emperor,” despite not having much contact with the True Saint, he understood a part of the character of the person he followed.
It was absolutely impossible to let them go, and upon coming here, he was aware that only death awaited him.
Wang Sheng did not hesitate either, drawing out the Destruction Spear, instantly eradicating the six Thirteen Realms with ease.
Yet, his expression remained grave.
These six Thirteen Realms probably didn’t come for the Dao Fruit, but to “notify.”
Notify him, the Corrosive Fate Dao is attacking.
After pondering for a while, and regaining his senses, he found himself within the Starry Sky Dao River.
His true self stood atop the Great Tao River, with a gaze like that of an immortal overlooking the mortal world: “I need an explanation.”
He didn’t know if the starry sky could answer.
But the “Boundless Saint Emperor” wasn’t wrong about one thing.
Allowing the Corrosive Fate Dao’s power into the Supreme Path was solely due to the starry sky.
In theory, he was now working for the starry sky.
Essentially, he was maintaining the starry sky to prevent the Corrosive Fate Dao’s power from entering a stable starry sky.
Yet now, it seemed the starry sky had a trick up its sleeve.
It directly let the Corrosive Fate Dao’s power in.
He didn’t know if what he was doing would elicit an answer.
But if there were no explanation, he wouldn’t continue being a fool.
The Great Tao River remained calm, without a single ripple.
Wang Sheng sat quietly in the Great Tao River, waiting for an explanation that may or may not exist.
Who knows how much time passed.
He felt a majestic yet gentle power.
This power conveyed information to him.
[The Corrosive Fate Dao is also part of the starry sky.
Helpless, unavoidable.
Dao Fruit, Fate Dao, involvement]
The information was fragmented and intermittent, barely expressing a complete idea.
But Wang Sheng understood the general meaning.
“The Corrosive Fate Dao is also part of the starry sky, so it can interfere with the Dao Fruit, and the starry sky can’t stop it…”
Although he hadn’t guessed this result, he wasn’t surprised.
“Does this mean that in the future, people from the Corrosive Fate Dao will come to contend for the Dao Fruit?” He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually questioning the starry sky.
Soon, he received a definitive answer.
“Still the Thirteen Realms or higher?”
“Can I make a move?”
If the Corrosive Fate Dao dispatched strong Thirteen Realm figures, besides him taking action, no one within the Supreme Path stood a chance of winning.
Soon, more information came.
[Fair competition]
“Ha, fair competition, so does this mean someone at the Twelfth Realm would come from the Corrosive Fate Dao? How fair, but if—”
“What if I say no!”
[Unable to prevent
The outcome of exerting maximum suppression]
“Meaning this is already the best result, otherwise, it would be more troublesome?”
Wang Sheng understood that the Corrosive Fate Dao was very troublesome, its power incredibly terrifying; otherwise, the starry sky wouldn’t spend so much effort suppressing it.
Now, faced with this situation, he needed to weigh his options.
Yet again, deep silence ensued.
“The contest can proceed, but it must be under my rules.”
If it’s essentially a position within the starry sky, and the starry sky agrees, why would he oppose it?
However, the upcoming Dao Fruit contest would plunge into truly terrifying territory.
The Corrosive Fate Dao’s involvement won’t conclude so simply.
The matter of the Dao Fruit couldn’t change, so Wang Sheng no longer dwelled on it, beginning instead to inquire about the Corrosive Fate Dao.
What on earth had caused such a “plague” in the starry sky?
Originating from the starry sky itself, yet precisely something the starry sky couldn’t resolve.
But what answered him were the endless waves of the Great Tao River, perhaps a warning, perhaps something else.
But this didn’t change the final outcome.
He didn’t get an answer.
“Don’t want to say… or can’t say?”
His gaze deep, yet no answers were found.
Since the last invasion incident, the Supreme Path seemed to return to how it was before.
The beings of the four starry skies pressed on.
Finally, someone reached the meeting point.
With one step, they could enter the final stretch of the Supreme Path.
Once completed, a chance to ascend to Supreme awaited.
Of course, as each person was about to enter the final section, they’d receive one last warning.
[Creation Land of the Supreme Path, extremely hazardous, face unparalleled foes, enter with caution.]
A very dangerous warning, yet at this stage, no one would turn back.
After all, reaching here, they were just a step away from the Thirteen Realms.
Yuanhua, Long Yue, Zhu Xiao, and others stepped in without hesitation.
Others who reached this step did likewise.
But what they didn’t know was, shortly after they entered, another batch of mysterious beings followed. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that this batch appeared identical to the first.
“The last trial… Heart Demon Trial, considered a fitting test.”
Seeing the situation, Wang Sheng looked away.
He, too, had preparations to make.
This matter was not over!
