706 The Condition of the Sea Emperor (1/2)
Zhou Bao had to handle the hidden danger without harming too many creatures, whether they were evil or not. It was greatly inconsistent with his character. Zhou Bao felt very frustrated.
”Well, it will be a tricky task!” Zhou Bao sighed, ”Your Majesty, do you have any good suggestions?”
”Me? Hehe, I don't have any hopes for the Heaven Realm World anymore; however given all the years I've been here, there are some things I have to care about. There are three hidden dangers in the Heaven Realm World. The first is the devil. I fear that the Dark Sect in the Heaven Realm World will be bewitched by him and wanted to approach the Primordial Demon in the Infinite Star Sea. The second one is Divine Wind Palace. They have been in control of the Golden Book of Fate for so many years that they must have some leeway left. Your intent is to push them to the brink of ruin, but be careful of their counterattacks. As for the third one, it is me. If I am in a black mood one day, I may destroy the infinite spaces around the Heaven Realm World!”
”You must be kidding, Your Majesty!” Zhou Bao listened to the first two hidden dangers with a smile, but when he heard the third one, his smile froze.
”I'm not kidding. Fate Creation Boy is the Fate Creator, but I dislike him. This time, for the best interests of the Heaven Realm World, I gave you the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. But I will not just stand around if he does something improper!”
”You seem to have a serious conflict with Fate Creation Boy. This matter is between the both of you. I'm not going to be involved!”
”You're a smart person. You certainly know what's best for yourself!” As if he had expected what Zhou Bao would say, the Sea Emperor smiled, ”Our official business is over. Let's talk about private matters now!”
”Private matters?”
”I have a favor to ask you!” The Sea Emperor said, ”You see, I'm stuck in this place and I can't get out, so there are a lot of things I can't do. I can't trust anyone else to do it, but you're a good choice!”
”I'm flattered, Your Majesty. So what can I do for you?”
”You've been the Infinite Star Sea. You know, it is dominated by 14 macro worlds of two Star Areas. Once in a while they will gather the Devil Fetus. And they are so stupid to think that they've gained great benefits!”
”Why, is there something wrong with the Devil Fetus?”
No, the Devil Fetus is fine. The thoroughly vanquished Devil Fetus will be the greatest help to your practice, and it can increase your strength in a short time!”
”So if the Devil Fetus is not a problem and is good for practice, why would you call them stupid?” Zhou Bao asked, puzzled.
”Remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Human greed will never end. The more you get, the more you want. Would the Primordial Demon be so kind to form a Devil Fetus every now and then for the benefit of mankind?”
”Not everyone is able to subdue the Devil Fetus, and some are controlled by it!”
”These guys were almost killed, and the ones who did not die did not cause any big problems.” The Sea Emperor shook his head and said, ”Be wary, however, of those who have surrendered to the Devil Fetus. They are the most dangerous. These guys even re-established a Dark Sect in the two Star Areas and the Infinite Star Sea. After so many years, and with the recent conveying of the will from the Immortal Realm, I think that the benefits from the Devil Fetus are no longer enough to satisfy their greed.”
”You mean someone wants to make use of the Primordial Demon!”
”Of course, the so-called Devil Fetus is merely the sweet bait that the Primordial Demon puts out!”
A smirk flashed across the Sea Emperor's face. ”Anyone who has taken the bait has benefited a lot and wants to eat the Primordial Demon as well. And in order to eat the Primordial Demon, you must first release him. You know that, right?”
”Are all Devil Fetuses baits? The Primordial Demon really has a good grasp of the human mind!”
”Help me destroy this Primordial Demon!” The Sea Emperor said, ”This guy is tough to deal with. Although his power and status in the ancient Devil tribe are not as good as that of Marquis Wugu, he is still very shrewd. Over the years he has bred numerous Devil Fetuses. When a person has merged with a Devil Fetus, whether it's subdued or it has control over the person, all the spirits and thoughts of that person are open to the Primordial Demon. All of the person's experiences, ideas and thoughts will be fully revealed to the Primordial Demon. Over the years, he has learned more about human beings and human nature than we do. If he comes out, he will be a bigger threat than Marquis Wugu!”
”They could not have imagined such a thing happening?”
”People are greedy. Even though they know they must face terrible consequences, they will never give up their immediate benefits. So too with you!”
”Yes, I am the same. If the benefits are attractive enough, I will take the risk!” Zhou Bao smiled, ”But what does it have to do with you? Do you know the Primordial Demon?”
