C69 (2/2)

Cheng Tian didn't mind even before waiting for my answer. He took a deep breath and said, ”For my dream, I want to become an emperor!”

ChengTian said it in a very general manner, as if he was saying it in a perfunctory manner, because his true purpose was definitely not something that I should know.

”You, do you know of a place that also seems to belong to an Immortal Emperor, a Nine Layer Tower …”

”Nine Grand Pagoda?” Cheng Tian turned his head and looked at me. His eyes were so deep that I couldn't read any information. ”How did you know?”

”Then it seems that you know. Can you tell me which Immortal Emperor's residence this is?”

ChengTian shook his head and didn't answer me. He didn't want to say it, and I didn't dare to press him, so I gave up.

”I have a friend. He is just a mortal. That day, he made a request to me, saying that he wanted to see this world of ours …”

”Hmm? ”Interesting, keep going.”

”No, I gave him half an answer to this question, but I can't give myself an answer. Perhaps, you can tell me?”

”This world of ours …” After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Tian chuckled and shook his head.

I looked at him quizzically. ”What do you mean?”

”In this world of ours, if you were to see this world clearly, it would be your sorrow!”

After giving me a deep look, Chengtian didn't say anything else. I didn't understand what he meant, but perhaps one day, I will have sufficient strength to understand.

”Oh, that's right. Recently, the Jue Valley has not been peaceful!”

”Someone went to check on something, right?” Cheng Tian casually curled his lips.

”That's right, can they find anything?”

”Discovered?” Cheng Tian laughed contemptuously, ”This Jue Valley is not a place where ordinary people can see anything. Even I do not have complete understanding of the secrets here, and you better not spout nonsense, otherwise, you will suffer a fate worse than death.”

Was this a warning? I smiled bitterly. ”Then why didn't you kill me?”

”I am not a man who kills without restraint. Moreover, you have done me a favor. I cannot do such a thing as repaying kindness with hatred. However, it didn't take long before the news of me coming out became unimportant. If you tell others that I came out now, I won't do anything to you. The only thing I'm afraid of is that the other Immortal Emperors will capture you and search your soul.

”Other Immortal Emperors?” You mean, you were trapped in the Valley, and it had something to do with other Immortal Emperors? After all these years, the Immortal Emperors have all disappeared. Actually, they didn't go missing. They did it, didn't they! ”

He thought about what Pu Xuan had told me. After the Immortal Demon battle, the Immortal Emperor went missing, but Cheng Tian had said that the other Immortal Emperors would be very interested in the news of him. This meant that the other Immortal Emperors were still here. What was the reason for the disappearance of the Immortal Emperor?

”You're a smart person, so you should know what to know and what not to know. If you want to live a little longer, then don't go looking for these answers.”

Looks like I guessed right!

”Then continue talking about your Immortal General.”

”Immortal, I have three subordinates, and each of them has earth-shattering abilities. You don't need to know their names, it's just that after so many years have passed, of the three of them, two are dead, and there's still one more who has hidden himself. I never thought that when I came out, only one of the three Immortal Lords would be left, and of the twelve, there would only be four Immortal Generals!”

”This is our world. Slaughter is the only thing we have. War is the only thing we have. However, in a world like this, how could people like this even be called Immortals?”

ChengTian didn't answer me. He looked into the distance and muttered after a long time, ”So, this is my dream …”

”What about the Immortal War? And the reason for this war? ”

”The reason?” Do you think there's any other reason for a battle between two races? If you really need one, it's a competition for resources! ”

They need to live in a more fertile land, so the demon race has to start a war with the human race. Now, Cheng Tian also said that the Immortal Demon War is a competition for resources, so they don't have to lie to me, but I feel that it's not that simple inside, Cheng Tian is only perusing me, there's no reason, it's just a feeling.

”Chengtian, you, do you know what a double phase is?”

”Double phase?” ChengTian looked at me with some confusion.

”It's one person, and there are two of them!”

Cheng Tian frowned. A moment later, he shook his head.

Even Chengtian didn't know? What on earth do I mean by these two faces!?

”I have to go, you have many secrets, but I still enjoy chatting with you and I am very happy. At the very least, when I am at my most relaxed, I hope that when my dreams come true, I can still see you …”

”Then give me another talisman!”

ChengTian was startled when he got up and was about to leave. He shook his head and said, ”It's better to control one's own destiny! ”The chaotic world that is about to arrive is cruel, but it is also an opportunity …”

After ChengTian left, I knew that this meeting might be the last time we would meet. He wouldn't remember me in the future, but even though he was an immortal emperor, I felt that he was more like a friend, an ordinary person. I don't know why, but at the start, I was indeed a little afraid of him. But after a while, I no longer felt anything.

He admires me a lot, but so does I …
