Chapter 2046 Wasn't a Smile
"In order to find the locations of things in such a vast place, one must calculate each one of these variables, not a single one can be out of place, not to mention taking into account the birth of new celestials bodies and the deaths of old ones. Why is it do you think that universe spirits are so difficult to find?
"You're asking me to pinpoint the location of a void tunnel when the Emperor of the Empire you reside in can change the position of stars on a whim. To make it worse, not only is he changing their positions, but in many cases, he's clustering the ones he doesn't absorb together to give invading forces as little points of reference as possible.
"Even if one managed to infiltrate the barrier of space and time that protects these universes, could they even find a target to attack?
"Even if you're a Higher Existence, how many million miles of black space can you see across? What if millions of miles became millions of light years? You three simply don't understand the scope Emperor Sacharro is working on. He is the only man born in this era that doesn't take the title of True God as an exaggeration.
"You tell me." Aki sneered once more. "How am I supposed to find the location of this void tunnel for you?"
Chrysanthemum and Valen felt a trembling down the core of their souls.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was true, they never really understood the kind of enemy they were going up against. A man who could become the Emperor of a Planet Grade Empire without even being 300 years old wasn't something they could imagine.
Only Anak smiled at these words with a teasing expression.
"You've already said so much… But why is it that I feel you have a solution already?"
Aki smiled a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Even if you are a God, there are still some things you cannot change. The void exists above space. Many don't understand why it is void will is a supreme law while space, despite its obvious power, isn't. In face, space will is at times even stronger than some supreme laws, but it has no right to hold this title because it will always be beneath the void.
"The reason is simple. Space can be manipulated… it can be twisted, bent, shattered, deformed, even destroyed. However, the void will always exist. Before life existed, there was the void. When all life ceases to be, there will still be the void."
The three of them frowned at Aki's words, not truly understanding the scope of what he was saying.
But… if void will was so powerful, why was it that the Void Clan was so weak?
"Much like energy, the void cannot be created or destroyed, it simply exists. And, once it's been used, it cannot be reverted to the same state it was in before in the same way energy becomes useless after it becomes heat.
"However, the void isn't so simple as this. There is no 'useless' state of void. This is what makes it so mystical."
"You're not making any sense." Anak shook his head. "It's useless, it's not useless. It can't return to its original state, it can… Just get to the point."
Aki sighed. "It's like speaking to a wall… The void is the foundation of all that is. It is everything and is nothing at the same time, why are you even wasting your time trying to comprehend my words? You just need to listen to them and understand my surface meaning.
"Others might be unable to due to, but those sensitive to the void don't need stars to navigate. Even if Emperor Sacharro managed to completely rearrange the topography of the void, it still wouldn't matter. This is the essence of what I'm saying."
"So you can, in fact, do it?" Anak's gaze lit up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Assuming that Emperor Sacharro hasn't destroyed the void tunnel… yes."
"Didn't you just say that you were certain that they still existed?!" Valen's temper flared once more.
"And then I proceeded to explain to you how Emperor Sacharro can't be defined by normal logic. Wouldn't I be a hypocrite if I didn't listen to my own words?" Aki said without care.
Valen clenched his fists, but he couldn't rebut.
"Anyway, I don't have much to do. I'll just take you all there."
The more Aki spoke, the more Anak understood just why it was Dyon's seal had yet to flare up… In Aki's mind, Dyon's position in his heart stood above everything… Maybe even the Heavens themselves.
To him, even if he went all out, even if he participated in this plot, Dyon would be completely unaffected. Therefore, how could the seal recognize that Aki was doing something detrimental to Dyon? Ironically, Dyon's own strength became a loophole in his own seal.
While Anak was thinking of this, though, Valen and Chrysanthemum were brimming with excitement. They had no idea what Aki and Anak were thinking, so they believed that this invincible Emperor Sacharro had finally showed a chink in his armor.
Everything was going according to their plan. First the enlisted the help of Anak to enter the Mortal Empire Capital City, Soul City. Only he had the cache to enter this place as both a True God and a great talent. In addition, he was the only one among them trusted enough by Dyon to do so.
Second, they found Aki. They knew making it out of Mortal Empire territory was an impossible task without special means. Their original plan was to bribe one of the members of the Array Alchemy Association into building an unregistered teleportation array for them. But, who would have thought that Anak would come up with this much better plan?
If they could use the void tunnel, the risk was even lesser, especially due to the fact Aki hated Dyon to the bone and wouldn't sell them out lest he want to die.
