"The world will change. This event will herald a catastrophe if we don't stop it." The handsome bald man stared at the distant sky. Countless realms were forgotten but in his eyes, they were just mere hiding, "It looks like I have to fasten my plans."
He was standing at the apex of the world. However, he still felt everything wasn't enough. The calamity would come soon and he must do something about it.
"God King, what makes you awake at this critical time?" Another ancestor beside the bald man opened his eyes. They were currently in a temple located in the highest peak of Soaring Immortal. His eyes had passed the transcendence and the billions of stars above.
"I don't think I need to explain this to someone of your level, Daoist Friend." God King smiled as he looked at the old man. They were friends for many years and their friendship ran deep.
"So it's about the merging method you have had been leaked in the outside." The old man sighed, "God King, I told you that Beline is a cunning fox that you should be very aware."
Although the old man wasn't a law like God King, he was an apex being that God King respected greatly. Thus, he knew that it was probably Beline who leaked the method out. After all, only he had the motive and resources to do find and do so.
Seeing that God King wasn't responding, the old man spoke once again, "Don't think too much about it. It's a suicidal thing to do as it has a low chance of success unless the person has a treasure to use."
"Daoist Friend, it seems your vision has blurred through the ages." God King chuckled, "That person is the successor of Feng Lin, someone the old man chose overme. Do you think that Feng will choose an ordinary person?"
"I see. I guess my vision is truly blurry after being aged this much." The old man sighed, "But you are older than me, no? Why do you keep that youthful look of yours? Being a Buddha will not affect your level even if you show your true wrinkly appearance."
"Daoist Friend, looks aren't important. But I love this when I'm in this youthful look." God King smiled. He looked again at a distance where the phenomenon was happening.
"So what do you plan to do now?" The old man asked.
"I'm going to attack the Phoenix Empire immediately." A flash of fierceness could be noticed in God King's eyes, "It's time to settle everything once and for all."
"Are you sure about this?" The old man asked. It was a very serious case that needed to be taken care of. Everything lied whether they would win this battle or not.
"I have to be sure. My decision is final and resolute. I'm going to do this for the betterment of our world." God King said with a solemn tone.
"The world knew that you are a heartless butcher. But who knows that you have a deeper reason for your actions?" The old man smiled wryly. He saw many things through the passage of time. Countless of years had passed and the memories of the dark past had yet to disappear in his mind.
"I don't owe the world an explanation. They can brand me whatever they want. I'm still going to do this." God King said sternly. He didn't see himself as a savior of this world, however he needed to step up and do something to save it.
If only Feng Lin had chosen him as a successor millions of years ago, it wouldn't have been turned out this way.
"You have my admiration, God King. No matter what, I'll still support you even the world turns against you." The old man tapped God King's back, "This is the path you choose, so I wish you the best of luck."
God King nodded and stared at the stars once again, "They are glittering without stop. The world is truly magical. In front of the universe, everything is a mere speck of dust.
The two stared at the dark sky the for a few hours before two figures appeared.
It was Noah and Bloodflaw.
"Brother God King, Beline's legacy has been snatched by Feng Lin's successor. We have to attack as soon as possible or everything will be in vain." Bloodflaw spoke. His tone was filled with rage as he remembered Beline's mocking expression at him.
"Yes, that is what we must do. We cannot rule out the possibility of the successor overcoming this tribulation. We must move fast and caught the empire off guard." Noah thought this was an utmost emergency that must be given the right priority.
"Don't worry, you two. That is what I plan, too." God King looked at them and smiled, "So calm down and tell me what happened there."
After that, Noah narrated how things went and their conversation with Beline.
"Hah, Beline has not changed even in the face of death." The old man couldn't help but laugh.
"We greet Senior Zhang." Noah and Bloodflaw cupped their hands in respect. They didn't notice the old man a while ago as they were focused on God King.
This was being that stood shoulder to shoulder with God King so they had to show respect.
"No need for formalities." Senior Zhang waved it off and commented, "But seriously, to think that Beline has thought so much ahead of us. He didn't live his years for nothing."
"Beline is an intelligent law with a cunning personality. Also, he was influenced by Feng Lin in the past so this was understandable." God King said, "But I have to admit that he had seen through several moves and made preparations for it without us noticing it."
God King knew that Beline would never join hands with them. So he had no choice but to kill him. It took so much resources too to slay Beline as he was a very hard nut to crack.. As a matter of fact, God King was injured internally by Beline when they fought but no one knew this except him.
