Chapter 4016 The Celestial Transcendent Visits
Reunited with the Heaven's Warriors, the Celestial Transcendent was able to stock up on some items that allowed him to traverse quickly.
It didn't take him two hours for him to reach the Ghastly Cloud Sovereign Lower Realm. There, the Ghastly Cloud Sovereign, the Realm Master, personally welcomed him. Of course, the Eternal Twilight Sovereign, the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm's Realm Master, also met him back in his realm after the incident with the Divine Emperor of Death before he could leave.
The Eternal Twilight Sovereign didn't hesitate to kowtow and personally apologize for letting a calamity run amok in his realm, causing the Heaven's Warriors to be shocked, but that only increased the reputation of the Supreme One in their heart. Since most of them were in the Lower Realms, they couldn't fully grasp the position of what it meant to be called the Supreme One, even though they were aware that the Supreme One was the most respected individual.
They didn't know he was the strongest individual in their galaxy. Most didn't even know he was called the Celestial Transcendent. To them, he was the most respected higher-up who managed to earn the respect of all Heaven's Warriors Organizations that they all had to listen to him. To them, he was a responsible and dignified Heaven's Warrior who occasionally visited the Lower Realms in his vast lifespan spanning billions of years and helped them deal with terrifying enemies.
His achievements made them all respect him. Only people like Autarch Elluro Coldwing and other leaders and elders of the Heaven's Warrior Organizations knew who the Supreme One was.
He was the ruler of their galaxy! Such a being never put on airs and made them all feel endlessly worshipful of his stature.
Nevertheless, the Eternal Twilight Sovereign proposed to accompany the Celestial Transcendent to vanquish evil, but the latter declined.
Once the Celestial Transcendent arrived in the Ghastly Cloud Sovereign Lower Realm, he also declined the Ghastly Cloud Sovereign, who offered to accompany him.
As the Divine Emperor of Death required, he made it all the way to the Discordant Clouds of the Vast Dream alone.
He strode through mist-laden mountains, descending into the heart of the Discordant Clouds of the Vast Dream.
The air shifted with a hazy glow, seemingly distorting light while casting an eerie veil over the surroundings. Tendrils of ghostly fog twisted around towering, jagged cliffs that stretched endlessly into the sky, each one appearing both distant and uncanny.
There was an oppressive weight hanging around, but to the Celestial Transcendent, it did nothing.
In fact, it dispersed upon touching him as though unable to maintain its malicious tendency to affect the karma of a living being. It appeared to be purified wherever he went.
The Celestial Transcendent didn't travel far. He had just breached the outer region and entered the inner region when he saw a jagged mountain. Above the cliff, there seemed to be life signatures.
"I considered it but then thought it would be insincere for me to be bringing her. It could have the opposite effect of angering you if you thought I was using her for my survival."
Davis shook his head, "I'm curious as to why the world hasn't learned of return yet, but the way it remains is fine with me. In fact, I'd like to thank you for not revealing her presence. She has suffered enough. At the same time, I would also like to thank you for saving my little sister from an inquisition."
"I didn't do it for you. I'm just fulfilling an old wish. As for your sister, she's destined for something else, something far greater than you can reach."
"..." For the first time, Davis's eyes went wide, his lips slightly parting.
To have received such praise from the Celestial Transcendent, he couldn't help but feel proud, but at the same time, he knew the Celestial Transcendent wasn't the type to give empty praises. He probably meant it when he said that Clara could reach far greater heights than him.
He almost shed a tear to hear that not only was she safe but also growing strong. It seemed like her place really was with the Heaven's Warriors- no, they were meant to boost her growth.
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear it. But— is she still herself?" Davis's brows narrowed.
"I don't know her upbringing as she doesn't like to share her past, but her Will is extraordinary, and her mindset is healthy, different than most Transcendent Truth Eyes masters I've seen."
The Celestial Transcendent paused, seemingly lamenting for a bit before he shook his head, "I don't think she can be influenced anymore."
"T-That's good to know."
Davis couldn't help himself as he stood up and slammed the table with his palms, appearing shaken and moved.
The Heaven's Influence— that was the thing he was worried about the most. As long as it didn't twist Clara's views and mindset, he was confident that she would always be his little sister!
