"Or you could lift the restrictions so we can fly out." Adam was not being lazy, he simply felt that wasting time walking was beneath them.
"You wish! This space was created by the Great Emperor, and so were its restrictions, if I could lift them, I would have left ages ago, I’m practically bored to death in here!" The little boy curled his lips, if he had a way out, it would not have been their turn to find him, he would have gone outside himself.
Adam’s mouth twitched, fine, then they would walk, he led Cecilia and the little boy toward the exit, it was just two hours, it would pass quickly enough.
"I still haven’t asked your names, you can call me Alaric." The little boy seemed to have completely opened his chatterbox, constantly asking Adam about the outside world along the way.
"The Heavenly Court truly deserves death! Back then, I should have had the Great Emperor directly annihilate them!"
"Otherwise it wouldn’t have turned into this current state!"
"Directly turning into a malignant tumor plaguing the world!"
Adam narrowed his eyes as a sudden thought struck him. "By the way, Alaric, did you all know about the existence of Source back then, and that the Heavenly Court was harvesting and cultivating Source?"
The Great Emperor was undeniably the strongest existence in this world.
The Sense-Depriving Great Emperor was even known as omniscient and omnipotent, the Heavenly Court’s actions should have had nowhere to hide before him, so what would have been his way of handling it?
"We knew, we knew even when the Great Emperor was still just a Saint, but there was no way to interfere." Alaric nodded, a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
"Even after the Great Emperor claimed the imperial throne, he found he still couldn’t interfere."
"The Heavenly Court foresaw this long ago, being able to rule the Three Thousand Worlds for so long, they naturally weren’t pushovers, they planted an Evil Seed in this heaven and earth."
"An Evil Seed?" Both Adam and Cecilia frowned, yet another new term.
"Yes, because the Heavenly Court began absorbing Source for the sake of eternal life, which is forbidden by heaven and earth, as long as one absorbs Source, it is impossible to ever become an Emperor."
The little boy continued. "However, if someone were to become an Emperor, they could directly annihilate the Heavenly Court, because of this, they used some bizarre evil method to plant the Evil Seed into heaven and earth."
"We all know that to become an Emperor, one must gain the recognition of heaven and earth, fusing with the power of the entire world and branding one’s mark into it."
"The Evil Seed is an extremely insidious existence hidden within the rules of heaven and earth."
"When a Great Emperor fuses with heaven and earth, the Evil Seed exploits the opening and attaches itself to the Great Emperor’s mark."
"Normally, nothing happens, but the moment the Great Emperor prepares to move against the Heavenly Court, the Evil Seed detonates."
"Causing the evil thoughts within to corrupt the Great Emperor."
The little boy grew angrier the more he spoke, he threw a punch, blasting a mountain peak to pieces.
"But that shouldn’t be right, with a Great Emperor’s strength, any trap should be erasable with a wave of the hand." Adam frowned, if the Heavenly Court truly possessed such a thing, would that not mean even Great Emperors could become their puppets?
"That’s how it should have been, how could an existence that hasn’t become a Great Emperor possibly scheme against one?" Alaric nodded.
"However, the Great Emperor discovered the evil thoughts within were extremely bizarre, detonating it doesn’t result in the Great Emperor being controlled."
"Instead, the evil thoughts corrupt the Great Emperor’s aura and birth a Great Emperor Evil Thought, this Evil Thought continuously grows until it possesses the exact same strength as the Great Emperor."
"In this way, the Heavenly Court indirectly gains an Evil Great Emperor."
"To this world, that is the greatest catastrophe of all."
"Attempting to erase it doesn’t work either, because it is implanted directly within their mark, the moment it is erased, the mark fused with heaven and earth also dissipates."
"As for the consequences of a mark dissipating, I assume you both know." The little boy looked extremely dejected.
"The mark dissipates, the Dao Fruit vanishes, and their strength regresses." Adam said slowly.
"And a powerhouse no longer at the Great Emperor Realm poses no threat to the Heavenly Court."
"The Heavenly Court really played a masterful hand."
Adam let out a long breath, their methods were far more complex than he had imagined, this Evil Seed was probably still lingering between heaven and earth, constantly monitoring whether a Great Emperor would be born, could the Evil Seed be the result of a deal with the Evil God?
Adam rested his chin in his hand, deep in thought, he felt this was highly likely.
The Heavenly Court could not possibly possess something so bizarre on its own, if they could truly invent a spell capable of altering the rules of heaven and earth, they would not need to worry about Great Emperors at all, they could have merged the Heavenly Court directly into heaven and earth, severing everyone’s hope of ever becoming an Emperor.
"Yes, but the Great Emperor was unparalleled in the world, how could he submit to the Heavenly Court’s coercion?" The little boy’s mood suddenly surged, his small face filled with excitement.
"The Heavenly Court committed such inhumane acts, with the world in his heart, how could the Great Emperor ever collude with them?"
"The Great Emperor directly erased his heaven and earth mark, severed his own Dao Fruit, and used the body of a Saint to fight the Heavenly Court!"
Adam and Cecilia instantly broke out in goosebumps, was this the sheer resolve of a Great Emperor? Discarding a Dao Fruit just like that, without a second thought.
"And then what happened?" Cecilia, completely captivated, asked anxiously.
"The Great Emperor went to war against the Heavenly Court, as a Great Emperor born from the Human race, he had received the help of countless people along his journey to the top, he could not accept the Heavenly Court keeping the Human race penned up like livestock."
"However, after falling from the Great Emperor Realm, he no longer possessed absolute, crushing strength, and his opponent was none other than the number one faction of all eternity, the Heavenly Court!"
