Chapter 443 - Three Conditions (2/2)

The issue with allowing artificial souls or spirits into the Heavenly Daos, enabling their integration as a Heavenly Law could be described in two words: Infinite Souls.

Yes.

Infinite Souls.

If you can create an artificial soul, which was so easy that even those in the Qi Essence Realm could produce, meant you can transition it into a true soul. A legitimate soul was an integral aspect of life, and it formed a cycle that was regulated and equal. If an abrupt introduction of new souls were integrated into that cycle, the distribution of energy, rate of rebirth, and various other Samsara-type matters would be overloaded.

This introduction wouldn't be a few thousand or ten thousand souls introduced, but an infinite amount! Because it wouldn't stop. Souls, true souls, were powerful states of existence that contained an Existential Power.

Yan Zaizen knew this. Yet, he had long since promised Pinaka to do this. It was her only way to become human.

Ezekiel saw Yan Zaizen's determined gaze, unyielding in his condition. However, he couldn't hope to agree. The result would be the 27th Heaven's continuous expenditure of its True Origin Source energy until its eventual and inevitable collapse.

How can he agree? How could he possibly agree to that?! No Heavenly God would.

”I can't.” Ezekiel plainly stated, his tone flat and indifferent. This wasn't a bottomline, it was sinking the ship. There was no bottomline here. Even if it was just one person, it wasn't possible.

”What if it was for one person? One spirit?” Yan Zaizen mulled it over and inquired.

Ezekiel's eyes remained cold. He shook his head, ”The new Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly God would determine what it outlaws and allows, as well as integrates, at their ascension. It won't change until the Heavenly God dies and is replaced, or at the next Heaven's Claim. That could be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years later. It's not possible.”

Yan Zaizen quietly lowered his head. It was a long while before he lifted his head and said, ”Second condition. I made a promise to allow a Path into the Heavenly Origin.”

Ezekiel frowned. These requests weren't things he expected from Yan Zaizen. ”What Path?” As long as it didn't relate to artificial souls, he had no issue with integrating it. In fact, the Heavenly Origin was a greater ask than integrating it into the Heavenly Laws, but artificial souls was just too much of a danger.

Entering the Path's True Origin into the Heavenly Origin meant it would have the eternal support of Heaven's True Origin Power, empowering the Path and correcting a lot of deficiencies within. Furthermore, it couldn't be outlawed by any Heavenly God in the future, even in other heavens.

”The Sirius Path of Heavenly Monarch Xiha.” Back then, Yan Zaizen had promised Xiha to infuse his Path into the 27th Heaven's Heavenly Origin in the Trial of Earthly Beginning and Heavenly End. This was a promise he had made, so he would keep it!

Moreover, Xiha was the reason why he obtained a False Grand Dao in the beginning. In hindsight, no wonder he gave him that egg. Only those who have a False Grand Dao had a chance of becoming a Heavenly God. In that way, he could tell Xiha had made ample preparations for this.

Even after death, he was unwilling to let his Path die with his clan. How admirable.

”Last condition!” Yan Zaizen declared. ”I'll need your help in the future. I need an unconditional agreement to accept!” This was his last condition, an eternal and undeniable favor. If Ezekiel becomes Heavenly God, the things he could accomplish would likely exceed his imagination.

Ezekiel stayed silent for a period before saying, ”You can not ask me to do anything that would lead to the destruction of the 27th Heaven! As long as it doesn't touch that bottomline, then I agree.”

He still hadn't given up on the first condition. Regardless of how difficult, he would do it! He had to. Even Ezekiel didn't bother mentioning the first condition. As a possessor of the Sovereign's Dao, he knew that Yan Zaizen wouldn't give up on this volatile objective. Furthermore, he was certain Yan Zaizen still wouldn't try to become a Heavenly God. This was the beauty of False Grand Daos, a person's truest self was revealed within.

Yan Zaizen nodded, ”then let's get my original body.” He covered himself in vital energies as his body lifted into flight.

Shin Xuanji had been relegated to a spectator, but he had no qualms with it. He was merely a witness in this, nothing more. Therefore, he merely took flight also, prepared to leave.

Ezekiel felt a tinge of relief in his heart. If he had Yan Zaizen, and his weird devouring power, his goal would be far, far easier.
