Chapter 347: Rebellion

This topic was very sensitive and though Luminate and Luminous were there, they still couldn't understand the whole picture. After all, they had little to no knowledge that other universes existed.

Of course, the ancestors had no time to explain these things to them. Right now, there was a much more urgent thing they needed to think of.

"The devils... they sure are tenacious." Lu Ancestor sighed, "In the past, they appeared weak and all. However, who would have thought that they will go back up with this kind of a grand plan."

"They have prepared for millions of years now. So of course, they will surely make it grand." Jin Rou wryly smiled, "However, this is not the time to praise the enemy."

"Indeed." Wang Ancestor agreed, "We will get the item that you need, Your Majesty. However, it may take some time as we activated thousands of formations that were hard to destroy even for us."

"Oh?" Jin Rou was impressed. To think that the clan had firmly put this matter into seriousness that they even used formations that would be hard even for them to deactivate?

Truly, the Rou Celestial Family wasn't wrong in trusting this clan. Her grandmother really knew how to choose people.

"How long would it take for you to get the item?" Jin Rou wasn't planning on rushing them and put a pressure on their shoulders.

"It might take 12 hours or so." Wang Ancestor answered, "And it's the combination of the three of us. If it's just one of us, it might take longer than anticipated."

Indeed. If we're talking about urgency, this time to take was really long. However, Jin Rou couldn't do anything about it. After all, it wasn't the other party's fault to be very cautious and caring about the item they were entrusted.

" Alright. Just do your thing and I'll wait here." Jin Rou sighed and said, "But as long as you get the item, return back here immediately because I need it as soon as possible."

"That's given, Your Majesty." Lu Ancestor sighed in relief. He thought that the king would pressure them to take the item sooner. But who would have thought Jin Rou was magnanimous enough not to do so?

This was a huge burden off their chest. And they could do everything they could without anything bothering their minds.

However, just when the two ancestors thought it was time to depart, Gong Ancestor remained standing and looked at Jin Rou with reverence and firm expression.

The two ancestors were puzzled why Gong Ancestor was like this and asked, "Gong, what are you doing?"

Jin Rou realized that something was off and asked Gong Ancestor too, "Is there something you want to say?"

He could tell from the ancestor's eyes that he wanted to tell something but he was holding himself back.

"Lu, Wang, I think we need to tell this His Majesty since he's already here." Gong Ancestor, who was long silent, spoke with grave expression, "We are loyal subjects of the king, so it is our responsibility to give essential information if we have."

"Gong, you..." Wang Ancestor now realized what Gong Ancestor was trying to say. He wanted to stop him. However, Jin Rou was focused on the ancestor that it would look like a disrespect if he tried to intervene.

"What is it that you want to say, Gong Ancestor?" Jin Rou's interest was piqued, "Let's hear it out."

"Your Majesty, there is a rebellion alliance that has been created." Gong Ancestor didn't beat around the bush and answered, "Their aim is to oust the current rulers of this universe."

"That's serious." Jin Rou couldn't help but knit his brows, "Rebelling against the celestial family? Death is the punishment for that, without reincarnation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gong Ancestor nodded, "They claimed that the Rou Celestial Family is unjust and unfair to the people since they don't let cultivators step into the realm of zeniths, the very peak existences of our universe."

Zenith Gods, or Zeniths, were believed to be most peak existences of this whole void. And only the ruling family had the right to step into this realm. This rule had been alive for billions of years now and in fact, all universes follow this rule, so everyone should have gotten used to it by now. But it seemed that not just everyone could accept this truth.

"While it's true that we don't let our subjects become zeniths, it is because we need to take a strong foothold in our territory. Because if people were to be let do what they want, chaos is inevitable. We are talking about the power of a zenith here, so everyone will use it with greed." Jin Rou spoke.

The heavens have binded the common people because of this. Humans were never satisfied with what they have. That's why they sought for a higher power and be stronger. They wanted to control their fates and be the protagonist of their own stories.

Some wanted peace, some wantes destruction. And if the heavens let them do as they please, the balance that have been long maintained would be greatly minimized and had a high chance of breaking off.

"They are just selfish individuals who want nothing but power and authority in a cover of justice pretense." Gong Ancestor was disgusted and said, "And to think that the initiator of this rebellion is a force on par with us."

"Oh?" Jin Rou didn't expect that things escalated this worse, "What force?"

"Endless River." Lu Ancestor was the one who answered, "I guessed that the river has been scheming this for a long time and now, they are prepared to pick a fight with the celestial family."

"Picking a fight with us?" Jin Rou laughed coldly, "Surely, they are trying to rush their deaths."

Jin Rou was in a bad mood. The universe had already a looming dangerous clouds that could threaten everyone. And now, this bunch of rebels were trying to pick a fight against their family?

They didn't even know that the family was trying their best to protect them.

Jin Rou wanted to meet them and see their guts.
