Chapter 972 The Heretic Emperor's Past

972 The Heretic Emperor's Past

"Is there really no room for negotiations?" asked the Heretic Emperor.

"Unfortunately, no," replied Wang Wei, his voice terribly calm. "Even if you don't take into account the issue of morality, killing you is way more beneficial to me."

"Not necessarily," said the Heretic Emperor.

"I'm willing to hand over my inheritance to you."

"After I kill you, it will belong to me."

"Not if I destroyed it beforehand."

"Try to see if you can do so in front of me," said Wang Wei calmly, and these four Eternal Emperors immediately felt terrified. They realize in front of this nightmare-like power, their resistance is futile.

The Heretic Emperor quickly calmed down.

He once lived in the upper dimension and experienced the strength of Paragons.

Although it was a great distance away, it was still an experience he will never forget.

Furthermore, the battle back then was even His mind worked faster than ever in his life, "How about we work for you?"

"Oh, you want to surrender to me?"

lightsnοvεl.cοm "Yes, and I'm even willing to let you enslave my soul–as long as you promise it's only for a certain period."

He did not mind sacrificing his freedom for a few hundred Yuan Epochs. Anyway, he was immortal and had all the time in the world.

"An interesting proposition," muttered Wang Wei. One of his plans is to create the Hell Court, an organization that directly opposes the Heavenly Court he created. As for the reason he's doing something that seems so counterintuitive?

It's to preserve the longevity of his Heavenly Emperor Era. The universe uses the word balance to describe how it functions.

Everything that rises must fall, and great luck and prosperity will eventually become misfortune and decline.

Knowing this, Wang Wei decided to take things into his own hands. He will reverse the luck of the Heavenly Emperor Era andcondense the power of misfortune that will eventually lead to its destruction. This condensed power will be blessed to the Hell Court, making their mission to destroy the court and the era.

However, every leader of the Hell Court will be chosen by him, and their true mission will be to delay the destruction of the court. Of course, only the leader and maybe some Heavenly Emperors will know this secret.

The fate of the Hell Court will be its destruction after failing its mission to destroy the Heavenly Court and the HeavenlyEmperor Era, but it can prolong his era by countless generations.

'This person is a perfect match for the first generation's Hell Emperor,' thought Wang Wei, pausing for a few seconds.

"Your offer tempts me, but I refuse."

"Why?" asked the Heretic Emperor with

gritted teeth. "This is a great deal with plenty of benefits."

He did not understand why the latter objected. He was an Eternal Emperor willing to bow his head and suffer humiliation, so why not accept such a great deal?

"The answer to your question is very simple–because I want to," said Wang Wei.

"The logical thing to do would be to accept your offer, but I want to kill you. I'm disgusted by your actions or the fact you have no pride as an Eternal, and I want the first Eternal Emperor I killed to be as unique as you, so I refuse your offer."

The Heretic and the other three looked at him with red eyes; Sadly, Wang Wei did not care about them.

"If you want a better reason, I can give you one," he continued with a smile that made his face very punchable. "I have a feeling that you are more trouble than you're worth it. If I don't kill you, some unknown and

unexpected variables will appear in my plans; such intuition is probably because of your inheritance.

"Are you satisfied with that explanation?"

The Heretic Emperor could not control his expressions. How could someone like him easily surrender? He already had a plan, and it involved his inheritance.

When he was young, people often said he acted out of sorts, not in line with those around him. As such, he was often called [heretic] when he was a young cultivator. So, after proving the Dao, he took the name.

Honoring his title, he did not act like most Emperors and cultivated a higher realm.

Instead, he immediately entered Primordial Chaos, ignoring the risk. While in another Chaos World, a terrifying battle occurred over an inheritance.

In that battle, thousands of Great Emperors died, and the Heretic Emperor only survived because he hid in his Supreme Chaos

Treasure. He took the inheritance and ran away before the Empyreans and Paragons arrived; he secretly returned to the Eternal Ascension World.

Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have reached negative after acquiring that inheritance. On the way home, he encountered a Fiendgod that almost destroyed his artifact. Although he ran away, the treasure was reduced to a regular Chaos Luckily, he had enough resources from his Treasure.

Not long after returning to the Eternal Ascension World, he encountered a terrible event and died three times consecutively.

Luckily, he had enough resources from his previous travels to revive himself and his status as an Eternal Emperor.

After these deaths, he became extra cautious in everything he did. He hid himself to comprehend the inheritance before hatching a plan to hide in the lower dimension and using the help of many fugitives and outlaws to help him.

According to his plan, he would find a way to release news about this inheritance. Such a thing that probably even Paragons would fight for could lure many powerhouses to visit the lower dimension. Afterward, he can find many ways to escape Wang Wei's clutches.

"Before I kill you, I have a few questions," said Wang Wei calmly. "How did you sneak all these fugitives to the lower dimension?"

Heretic did not answer, but Wang Wei got his answer. The power of fate flashed in his eyes, and he had his answer. The Doa BurialGround used to be a Supreme Chaos Treasure on par with a Paragon Artifact.

Furthermore, it was a unique one with only one purpose–hide.

Although it was heavily damaged, the Heretic Emperor could still use it to enter the lower dimension with all these people. Lastly, since the artifact was now only a Chaos Treasure and these people were only Great Emperors, True Heavenly Dao did not care about them in the lower dimension.

'Interesting. Could Old Man Nether have used a similar method?'

Wang Wei has been interested in how the latter came to the lower dimension as an Empyrean and stayed for so long without much repercussion.

'Forget about it for now. The Dao Burial Ground used to be a Supreme Chaos Treasure; If I can repair it, it will greatly help my fight against the parasites.'

Wang Wei smiled; this place was worthy as one of the most dangerous Forbidden Land of the Myriad Emperor World. After dealing with it, the benefits are simply endless.

"Second question: are you from the Myriad Emperor World? If so, from what era?"

No physical answer, but Wang Wei got the information he wanted. The Heretic Emperor was born in the upper dimension. Despite the inherent danger, he chose this place as his hiding spot because it was the center of luck and destiny of the lower dimension.

He believed he had a higher chance of cultivating the inheritance in such a place and maybe even countering the curse of misfortune he suffered from after obtaining it. As such, despite his nature and the danger, he still chose to stay here instead of any other Heaven Will World or World Community.

"Third question: who created your inheritance?"

No answer, and this time, Wang Wei could not divine anything. However, he was not surprised by this fact. He had already noticed he could not divine information about Heretic, hence why he needed to ask specific questions.

So, he guessed that whatever item containing the inheritance had the natural ability to protect information, including divination.

'Now, I'm even more interested,' thought Wang Wei.

"Last question: any last word?"

Heretic looked at that smug look with profound hatred.

"Let's do it," he said.

"Ready," said the Second Child, ready to die for his main self. The room was suddenly divided into four colors: red, blue, yellow, and white.

"Dao of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind," and calmness but because the Fourth Child's power was still unstable, thus drastically commented Wang Wei calmly. "No, this is not an elemental-based Dao but the Dao of the Four Poles."

His eyes lit up, "I wonder if that's your original Dao, or is this another side effect of this technique? While assimilating the [Existence] of others, yours is also being fundamentally changed."

Wang Wei did not know the answer, but he was excited to find out. Meanwhile, the Heretic Emperor could not hide his worry, not only because of his opponent's strength and calmness but because the Fourth Child's power was still unstable, thus drastically weakening their Four Poles Array.

Furthermore, he had lost contact with the other sleeping individuals, meaning he could not sacrifice any of them to help with the current situation.
