Chapter 1933: Proposal (2/2)

“We are worried indeed, no one knows what is inside that treasury, but a Paragon Artifact might be there!” War-Monarch said.

Wildland was also a remnant epoch, just like Buddhist Plain. There were a couple of them in Exploration Grounds. However, the wildland had several surviving overlords. This was a much rarer occurrence.

Thus, though many people coveted the items here, these beings were simply too strong. Even an eleven-will emperor had fallen before. Others emperors needed to tread carefully.

Nevertheless, they kept their eyes on this place because a few of them believed that the wildland could be storing a Paragon Artifact! Now, this was something no emperor could resist.

Li Qiye added: “You are worried that I might get the artifact.”

“Yes.” War-Monarch nodded without hiding anything: “Sacred Teacher, you alone are dreadful enough. If you gain a Paragon Artifact, no one in the world will be able to stop you anymore, and this spells out an unfavorable future for us heaveners.”

Treasures were tempting enough, but the emperors chose to look at the bigger picture. They were willing to lose this opportunity in order to prevent Li Qiye from obtaining the artifact.

“Your worries are not illogical.” Li Qiye said: “But remember, if you four don’t dare to do this, other emperors will anyway. Surely you know that I can convince other emperors not weaker than the four of you to join me.”

In the end, War-Monarch was still the main speaker on the other side: “Yes, that’s for certain, but we still don’t want to become the sinners of our Heaven Race. If other emperors want to help you, that’s their own decision. We’ll just do what we can.”

“Sinners of the Heaven Race?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but shake his head: “War-Monarch, I’m not looking down on you, but do you think you are qualified to bear such infamy? On the road of evil, the four of you aren’t strong or ancient enough to be considered as sinners.”

Li Qiye didn’t hold back with his sharp words. This comment stirred the four emperors again.

“War-Monarch, I know you are regarded highly by Geezer Qian, and we’re long-time enemies too. You surely wish to destroy me. No need to deny this.” Li Qiye continued: “Geezer Qian feels the same way, he wants nothing more than to annihilate me, and I also want to kick him flying. But, our hatred and feud are one thing, I’m sure the geezer had told you about a few mysteries.”

Li Qiye’s expression became serious as he stared at War-Monarch: “Thus, I’ll ask you now, War Monarch, be honest with yourself, who do you think will be the one to destroy your Heaven Race? I’m sure it won’t be me!”

At this time, the other three emperors stared at War-Monarch in unison. They were emperors from the same clan but War-Monarch was the only one who earned World Emperor’s trust.

Why did World Emperor trust him? It wasn’t only because of his age or that he had raised the banner while fighting for the heaveners several times. It was because he used to be World Emperor’s dao protector when World Emperor was younger.

Furthermore, his loyalty to his race was unquestionable. If something were to happen to the Heaven Race, he would be among the first Heaven Emperors to step up!

Thus, he was privy to the mysteries and decision-making in Heaven Authority. World Emperor was willing to talk to him about them.

War-Monarch stood there without replying to Li Qiye. He indeed knew more secrets than his junior emperors in the clan. It wasn’t only due to his age but rather his involvement in Heaven Authority.

Only emperors with ten wills and up could join this organization. Not all of them were eligible to know all the secrets either but World Emperor confided in War-Monarch.

“Sacred Teacher, you are also one of the threats to our race.” War-Monarch finally broke the silence.

“I won’t deny that truth.” Li Qiye chuckled: “War-Monarch, everyone knows of your devotion to the Heaven Race. But have you truly thought about it? When that day comes, will you think about self-preservation or protecting your clan? Is your clan strong enough now to survive? I’m sure you aren’t certain yourself. Who knows what will happen then, so, one shouldn’t say no to treasures. No clan can ever have enough resources. You aren’t only fighting for yourself, but also your clan and the heaveners!”
