Chapter 1293 The Light Is Dark (1/2)
Han Sen looked at Moving Star Emperor and said, ”Are you saying those that don't understand are filthy? Why don't you go ahead and explain what the Luminous Stone is, then?”
Moving Star Emperor rebutted with, ”Pah! You don't deserve to know.”
”Wow, now you look like some pompous idiot who is only pretending to be superior. You shouldn't go around telling people you're an emperor, much less a spirit. Even talking to someone as thick as you has me feeling embarrassed.” Han Sen wasn't willing to let this go so easily, and so he said a lot of mean things.
Before his enemy, he'd never concede.
Moving Star Emperor was notorious, but he had quite the reputation, though. Between spirits, disputes were often settled through battle. The opportunity to sort things out through discussions, as most humans did, rarely arose.
Knowing he might be at a disadvantage made Moving Star Emperor extremely angry.
If he wasn't in Evil Lotus Shelter, he'd already would have been trying to kill Han Sen through the tried and true method of a pummeling. He wanted to provoke Han Sen and get the human to attack him first so he could feign being the victim. But now, he found himself being the one ready to instigate a fight.
Moving Star Emperor managed to swallow that big, bitter pill and reversed the dialogue instead. He said, ”If you think it is that simple, then why don't you tell me?”
Han Sen explained it succinctly, ”The Luminous Stone is a path of light.”
Moving Star Emperor addressed that hypothesis with disdain. ”Nonsense! Night Empress practiced the path of darkness. It is a geno treasure attuned with the element of dark. Dark is the complete opposite of light. Pah! What a cheap race, only capable of talking crap.”
Han Sen was not mad. Humans knew a lot, and the Alliance possessed swathes of knowledge. Spirits could not understand things beyond the surface, and they could not understand things on a deeper level. Their development was in a whole different ballpark.
Perhaps no human could beat Moving Star Emperor through physical means, but giving him a verbal beatdown was nearly child's play.
Han Sen smiled and told the emperor, ”You are ignorant. Light and Dark are two sides of the same coin. They both exist at the expense of each other. Light is dark, and dark is light. She may have practiced along a path of darkness, but she could also use the Light element. It's simple.”
”Light is light, dark is dark. How can the two exist together? If she was still here, she'd kill you for talking such drivel!” Moving Star Emperor rebutted.
Han Sen pointed at the lotus plants which were bathing in the soft glow, then he pointed to the darkness the light did not reach. He said, ”Now tell me, which is dark and which is light?”
Moving Star Emperor said, ”Of course the area with the Luminous Stone is light.”
”Are you sure it's light?” Han Sen asked, with a smile.
